Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos.How wonderful that in the Blessed Sacrament we can worship Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.It is so sad that many many Catholics no longer believe in the REAL PRESENCE of Christin the Blessed Sacrament.

Brilliant.Interesting to know the history about why everyone is carrying a brick.150 years ago when the church of St Mary Assumptionwas being built by German immigrants in New Orleans,the wagons carrying the bricks couldn't get near the church due to the mud.The women of the Parish went out to meet the wagons and carried the bricks in their aprons to the church so it could be built.Now 150 years later they are re-inacting this historic event.This is also the Church where Blessed Francis Xavier … [More]

Brilliant,GoodChoreography and to do this the Seminarians have to be sportive.Do we really only want fat priests?Much better that they are healthy and of course HOLY!If their prayer life is as good as this then fine.

Something intriging about the style!I like it.

Priests,Father Frank Deuring(PP),Julius Kreuzer(Curate) & Father Michael Hubatsch OFM lead the Children's Blessing Service in St Mang Basilica,Füssen,Germany on Sunday 17th January 2010.Also helping was the Parish Children's helper,Brigitte Böck.

They all look wonderful.May they gain many graces from helping others in need by their actions.

"If you are catholic you must know that in his encyclical “Immortale Dei”"

Dear Santiago,I don't wish to be rude,But just how many Catholics do you personally know who have read this encyclical?Yet you claim to be a Catholic you must know some obscure quote you pick from the thousands of encyclicals issued by our Popes throughout the last 2000 years.I do hope you have read and can quote from everyone of them,because with 6 children to bring up in the faith,I can asure you I can't.I try to … [More]

As we live 5 kilometres from these castles and can see them lit up at night from our bedroom window,we are well aware of the promotional materials put out about them.Can't see much Catholic in that!Yet here in Fussen,St Mang founded his monastory and Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos was born.One the Apostle of the Algäu and the other died giving his life to God bringing His Sacraments and love to German immigants in the United States.Now that is full of Catholic History,these castles though … [More]

Hi Monika,This seems a god recipe on this page
http://scandinavianfood.about.com/od/swedishcelebrations/r/luciabuns.htm

When I lived in Cornwall;Safron buns were all the rage and I could not stand them.So am not sure if the Füssen Luziabrot was Saffron.It didnot taste like it-I will ask the Pfarrbüro when I go and pick up the Katholische Sonntag Zeitung for my daughter to deliver.

Monika,Thank you for that information about Sweden.I will use it in my website report.The person who told me did not mention the eyes.But they were gourged out and It does show two raisens which could well represent the eyes.They did taste good thats for sure!

The St Lucy Bread-Luziakringel given to all participants in the Luziafeier/St Lucy Children's Service.It is shaped as a lock of her hair.

After the Luziafeier(Children's Service),St Lucy led the procession through the centre of Füssen.When the yreached the River Lech,the children put the little house boats with candles,they had made earlier on the river.

Thank you for your comment.I am sorry that the quality is so bad.It was a candlelit service and I had my 3 year old daughter on my back and was stuck because extra people had come in the main door and we could not get nearer to get better quality.However I invite you to look at the still photos I took which can be viewed here.They should be available later today on the St Mang Füssen English website on the December News page.

What is the real message is the Archbishop of Vienna giving us by his contradictory actions?Thank God for the obedience of the Auxilary Bishop and that he made it public at the Mass he was banned from attending.What about all the millions of aborted babies,do we now forget them Cardinal Schönborn?
