On Vanuatu, an island quite some distance from Australia, Fr. Louis Bochkoltz accepted 45 new Knights. This is one of the first enrolments to the Militia Immaculatae in Oceania. There are also new Knights in New Caledonia and Fiji island — we will write about those in a few days.
On Saturday 1st October 2016, the first Saturday of the month of the Holy Rosary, our small Mission in Vanuatu was blessed by the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Having arrived almost one week earlier, Fr. Bochkoltz had prepared the faithful for their "promise" towards Our Lady (the word "consecration" being yet too difficult for them).
With 13 children and 1 adult having received the grace of Baptism and becoming children of God that same morning, a good 50 people were present in the church around 4 pm. At that time we started our procession with a local stretcher for Our Lady's statue. In the village, we stopped at each lot of bamboo huts, praying one decade of the rosary and blessing these houses at each station. Every time more and more people were joining the procession and singing the hymns as we went along. So, when we arrived back at the church, more than 100 people were crowded inside! It was now time to start the ceremony to make new Knights of the Immaculata!
Blessed be Immaculate! Dear Knights! It is hard to share an affirmative attitude of the Primate of Poland card.

However, Primate’s Marian devotion can and evenRead More →

“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even until that day in which Noah entered into the ark, and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.” Mtt 24:38
And it is true today. The run of events related in TV and newspapers, on Facebook and websites, provide an endless stream of data showing a world tending downwards uncontrollably. And yet while many notice the downward trend, few consider the reasons, few care for the remedy.
