Coronavirus: Italian Parish Priest Brings Our Lady To Frightened People
Father Andrea Vena, the parish-priest of Bibione, near Venice, is driven twice a day, in the morning and at night, on a pickup truck with a statue of Our Lady through the streets of his parish (video below).
The van stops when people approach. Vena prays with them and gives a blessing with Holy Water.
“Like Jesus I went out of the temple of God to go among the people,” Vena says. People are sometimes in tears when he approaches with Our Lady.
@Holy Cannoli If you see this episode of Dr Taylor Marshall, Pope St Gregory the Great removed the Plague from Italy by taking the Lucan Icon from one of the Church's in Rome, walking through the streets with it, instructing the faithful to process with him, covered in ashes as an act of repentance that God had felt need to chastise His people. The previous Pope had died due to the Plague and Pope (St) Gregory earnestly wanted Heaven to remove the Plague. He called the Diocese of Rome to extreme Penance - in emulation of the people of Ninevah. Although 80 people dropped dead whilst marching behind the Icon, Pope St Gregory the Great, beheld the Angel of Destruction "sheath a blood covered sword" as the Plague was truly dispersed by the Prayers and intercession of Our Lady. No sooner had the air noticeably been purified, as God's punishment ended, than the Pope heard Heaven's Angels singing the "Regina Coeli" This is the origin OF the Regina Coeli. Very interesting episode. www.youtube.com/watch
Kevin I have some questions about your post. 1) What was the pestilence that you speak of in your post? 2) What are the names of the “nuns of St. Clare.” 3) Where are the “many places” that have been likewise preserved from contagions? 4) If the “nuns of St. Clare” actually did say this prayer, how do you know that the prayer was the primary factor that stopped the undefined pestilence? Could other factor/s been involved or even had more importance? Mass, communion, prayer before the Sacrament, for example? 5) Can you site 2 or more independent sources that affirm the pestilence and the nuns’ action in stopping the pestilence? You have posted the identical message approximately 60 times at GTV during the last week. To my knowledge, before you no poster has ever shown the lack of appropriateness and ego which you have displayed. Your posts are a perfect display of an irrational zealot, a fanatic who has last their sense of balance and lost the state of conforming to conventionally accepted standards of behavior. Rational people don’t do what you are doing but realize that they are wasting bandwidth of the host site by making post after post after post repeated so often that the posts and they themselves have become annoying and tiresome. Your repeated posts of the identical unverified message is doing the exact opposite of what you (presumably) hope to achieve. Virtue Signaling
Kevin What was the pestilence that you speak of in your post? Your post is bogus. Unless there is proof for what you claim, your post is made up and misleading. You are doing a DISSERVICE TO ANYONE WHO READS IT. You are a perfect example of why many non Catholic Christians think all Catholics are loons. To all non Catholic Christians reading here, we are not all loons. As you can see, some Catholics definitely are.
@Holy Cannoli Hello, I was interested and it says something about it online... It is spoken of in the historical writings of the Nuns. Portugal was ravaged by the Plague along with many other places in the 14th century. The Nuns were the Sisters of the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha of Coimbra, Portugal. The reference to being saved from the Plague, is made within the documented history of their order written by the same Nuns (see here and follow the link given on this webpage.) www.radiospada.org/…/preghiera-a-mar… Rorate Coeli speak of it too..... but link to the same site. rorate-caeli.blogspot.com This image is called S. Gregorio Magno (St Gregory the Great) invokes the Virgin for the cessation of the plague , 1700, Santa Giustina, Padua. He wrote Gregorian Chant which takes it's name from him - but you'll know that already.... God Bless Further link to the talk recently given by Dr Taylor Marshall reading the account of how Pope St Gregory the Great dispersed a plague from Rome..... www.youtube.com/watch
