    Well the graphics are a bit "loud" but other than that I don't think it's too bad, what do you object to Fanny?

  • All I can say is it appeals to me, somehow.

    It makes me want to be more devoted to Our Lady.

    Just a lot here you don't see most places, like this:







    A manly St. Gabriel the Archangel:


    A manly St. Michael the Archangel:



    I think I know what it is:

    The whole website makes devotion manly and virile.

    It seems to want to make us all soldiers, and that is a good thing.

    No: It is not mine!

    I like to know who is behind what I am reading. That is my #1.  I go no further because I wonder why they don't put that info up.  What are they hiding?  


    Quickly scanning it, you are right, the graphics are loud.  And there is way too much info on one page.  Everything about it makes me want to leave it

  • Thank you for sharing this site with us. It looks like a great compilation!
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

  • It really is time to start reclaiming devotion and sanctity as “masculine” because it’s all too often seen as something for old ladies these days. 

    There is truly nothing more manly than living in the state of grace, living the life of prayer and penance. And that’s a manly that even women can aspire to as well. 
    Please disregard everything I have said; I have tended to speak before fact checking.

  • Thankyou for this! I think I'll bookmark it. It really is extensive, and I don't see too much objectionable about it, other than what Fanny said. I'd like to know who made the site.

     I wonder if they left that out in hopes that people would focus on the message instead of getting hung up on what "group" it comes from." One doesn't just leave that out on accident. 
    Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

    I misunderstood.

    But, Fanny's comment hit me as funny, cause in our narcissistic world, every topic seems couched in being "all about us".

    From Sean's intro, is it possible to conceive of a website that's.... "all about Our Lady" ?    :pray:
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • I don't see a lot of Marian material. What am I missing? It seems most of the links & content is not about Blessed Mary.

  • I don't see a lot of Marian material. What am I missing? It seems most of the links & content is not about Blessed Mary.

    Everything, apparently.

    On the front page alone, I find the following topics:

    1) The weekly log at the top of the homepage contains 7 of 36 entries on Marian subject matter;

    2) Immediately below that is information on making a novena to Our Lady of Lourdes;

    3) Scrolling down a bit further brings you to First Saturday devotions in honor of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart;

    4) Scrolling down a bit further brings you to prophecies of Our Lady (and the saints) on the chastisement, and about being a hermit in the end times;

    5) Scrolling down a bit further brings you to "Your Daily Mary" page, which provides meditation material on Our Lady for every day of the year;

    6) Immediately under this, is information about Our Lady of Guadalupe;

    7) A bit beneath that, one comes to information about Our Lady's miraculous medal;

    8  Immediately underneath that is something about Our Lady and the souls in Purgatory;

    9) Under that is something about "the errors of Russia" which no doubt has some connection to Our Lady of Fatima;

    10) Under that is something about the centenary of Our Lady's appearance at Fatima;

    11) Under that, something about the miracle of the sun at Fatima;

    12) A little further dowm, some information about Our Lady of Walsingham, and then more info about Our Lady of Ransom;

    13) Immediately under those, a novena in honor of Our Lady of LaSalette;

    14) Under that, something about the Shrines of Mary;

    15) Alongside that, something about the Apparitions and Messages of Mary;

    16) Under that, Our Lady of Sorrows consecration

    17) Alongside that, a novena on the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady;

    18  Down a bit further, a commemoration of the Feast of Our Lady of Seven Sorrown;

    19) Under that, The Life of Mary;

    20) Alongside that, Prayers in Honor of the Nativity of Mary;

    21) Under that, Consecration to Mary;

    22) Under that: 35 Day Preparation for Consecration to Mary;

    23) Under that, information about the Legion of Mary;

    24) Scrolling down a bit, A Visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes;

    25) Under that, A Visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe;

    26) Immediately under that, the Marian Calendar;

    27) Under that, a 6-part series called "The Vistories of the Rosary at Lepanto;"

    28  Under that, various "Rosary is the Weapon" posters;

    29) Under that, the full message of Our Lady of La Salette (in two banners);

    30) Under that, materials trying to reignite the Legion of Mary;


    31) Scrolling down a bit: The Shrines of Mary Tour (Commencing with a tour of the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine);

    32) A bit under that, some material linking Our Lady and the fires of 1871;

    33) Under that, something about Sr. Lucy's saying Our Lady said we have entered the end-times;

    34) Under that, something called prophecies for our times (which no doubt refers at least partially to Marian prophecies);

    35) A bit under that, something about the number of the saved, based partially on Our Lady's apparitions;

    36) Under that, another encouragement to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe;

    37) A bit under that, a poster download depicting the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima;

    38  Under that, another downloadable poster depicting Rosary prayers as bullets fired;

    39) A bit under that, more printable Marian posters;

    40) Under that, an Our Lady crossword puzzle, to test your knowledge;

    41) Under that, a virtual tour of the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima;

    42) Under that, information about the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham;

    That was all just from the first page.

    So it's seen as something for old ladies, but we need to reclaim it as masculine, and even women can aspire to...  

    women are the example you want to pull it away from and then graciously give back to them?

    You are too kind!

    Perhaps rather than "reclaim" it, you need to understand that devotion and sanctity are unisex (gasp!) and those with whom you associate may follow your example.
