"The Year of Faith with Mary"

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

What a great website, the University of Dayton has launched! See [HERE](http://campus.udayton.edu/mary/YearofFaith/YOF-Intro.html). May this effort be a blessing to many in the Church and beyond.

I hope you'll take a look at it and share your comments. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps I could also suggest having a look at this site which is devoted to the role of the popes of the Marian era from an eschatological point of view www.divinemercypopes.com

Dear sparkfromPoland,

Thanks for your reply. I spent some time on the link you gave, but I found a lot of speculation, and I simply prefer not to spend more time there. I have read many of the magisterial documents the author cited, but to spend time on the “eschatological” point of view of the author of the book promoted, and/or his blog, is not something I want to give my time to right now.

I believe the link to the University of Dayton’s website on “The Year of Faith with Mary” gives me more of what I need. For example, HERE is a beautiful and profound Address given by Pope Emeritus on the “Faith of Mary”. I have found the writings of His Holiness, Benedict XVI to be filled with insights. Each time I read something he has written I come away richer for the experience. I hope you and others will take a look at the link to this Address given last year, and to the other links on the University of Dayton’s website.

Today is the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. How wisely the Church places this Memorial on the calendar immediately after the Feast of the Sacred Heart yesterday!
