Pilgrims – PRAY! Now, at the hour of his death!

Director Leave a comment

Eleven year-old William Schneider, brother of fellow pilgrim Maria Schneider, of Scranton is dying.

It came on in a flash, a virus that at first attacked his heart, only days ago. His doctors this morning (Fri, 2 March) have declared there is nothing they know now to do to defeat the virus, which is attacking his other organs.

In tears of humility his Parents and Siblings implore all friends in the Lord to let this be the time for Christ to be glorified in a miraculous cure of Little William by the intercession of Walter Ciszek of Shenandoah, Pennsylvania.

The chaplains & directors of annual pilgrimage implore you PLEASE, in your charity:

Beg Walter Ciszek, native of Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, to pray Christ to restore William to health and to his sorrowing Family: that through miraculous healing, reversing William’s death, Christ may be glorified on his liturgical Altar throughout New France and beyond by the intercessory prayers of Walter Ciszek!

Good Walter Ciszek of Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, pray to Christ for William – to obtain for him reversal of death and miraculous healing!

image_st_nicholas_of_flue_8-2013 “Pray without ceasing.” It’s never too early to join fellow pilgrims in prayer. To make it easier to remember and recite the short prayer each day, every pilgrim is asked to print it out, post it to the refrigerator in the kitchen, leave it at one’s night table next to the bed, tape it to the mirror in the bathroom … Ok, you get the point.

So, click here to download the prayer of St Nicholas of Flüe.

Spread the word, too!

Post the file to your Facebook page or blog.

Print it out, and take copies to your parish or church events, and distribute them to friends, family, parishioners, and fellow Catholics everywhere. (more…)

Will you pray for your chaplains & fellow-pilgrims?

Director Leave a comment

In your charity, would you pray for pilgrims and especially the priest-chaplains?

To beg God to draw them to pilgrimage, and – for the chaplains – to minister to the pilgrims: including to invite & lead their own flocks on pilgrimage for restoration, on The Way to Auriesville.

If you will, then other pilgrims already praying wish you to join them!

The Way of a pilgrim is unceasing prayer

Greg Lloyd Leave a comment

Christ-Pancrator_JerusalemThe Christian’s life on pilgrimage does not end until death. And even then, there is an eternity of discovery & delight to expect in the presence of the Supremely Good & Almighty God.

To keep us on The Way, the Pilgrimage Chaplains ask pilgrims to recite with devotion each day the sublime, three-line prayer of St. Nicholas of Flüe, and in that way to commit it to memory:

My Lord and my God,

When your Mother asks you to do a favor

Greg Lloyd Leave a comment

wilderness MassOur Blessed Mother & Theotokos has asked that her faithful children do reparation for the sins (mine, yours, ours and ‘theirs’) which are committed against Her Immaculate Heart.

She’s been so good to you — even when you are not paying attention. Or did you forget she’s been watching over and caring for you, just like a good mother, all these years. And not only when you were little babe in your (other) Mother’s arms.

What kind of child are you? Will you now console her in turn, when she is sorrowful?

(You don’t even have to travel to make pilgrimage in reparation. Find out how easy it is. Click here.) (more…)
