J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*
Oh how I hope that Pope Benedict XVI would take to the sea and cross the Atlantic on a ship destined for the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas. There would be deep symbolic meaning for his ship (OLS Stella Maris?) to sail beyond Padre Island, through the waters of Laguna Madre and under the light bearing Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge that connects the Texas State Aquarium (fish->Eucharist) with the Santa Maria replica that honored the 500th Anniversary of Columbus' inspired maiden voyage in 1492 (Our Lady).
He could make it here for the October 7th, Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary and his onboard social media broadcasts/teachings would serve as an inspiring witness calling Americans to pray, fast and give alms for this upcoming election—keys to the original feast and the successful Battle of Lepanto in 1571.
We need a witness of solidarity and a miracle of faith. The Holy Father sailed up the Rhine River to Cologne in WYD 2005. He sailed under the Sydney Harbor Bridge in 2008. This third symbolic journey to and for the United States of America that is consecrated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is all about timing for after this election it will be too late.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Unborn
and Star of the New Evangelization,
Pray for us!
Sincerely yours in Jesus and Mary,
Mike Rizzio
Imitate Mary
Become like Jesus
Live for the Triune God
Seek the Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ
See you on the High Ground!
