Just finished my Camino and spent a few days in Santiago de Compostela. I prayed before St James’ tomb and thanked him for preaching in Spain. I’m a Filipino and by God through the intercession of Our Lady of the Pillar and the works of St James, I am a Catholic. 💙
Despite of the attempts from different Protestant groups to evangelize the Philippines for many decades, which was way back in the 1900's, thanks to Spain and along with the guidance of Our Lady, my country the Philippines is still a strong Catholic country, or at least a predominately Catholic nation in Asia. Ave Maria et Deo Gratias!
Finally a priest that talks about this beautiful story of Our Lady of the Pillar and Pelayo, Covadonga etc. Spain has such a beautiful part in the history of the Church. Most people have never heard of this story, and don't know that Christopher Columbus who had a great devotion to Our Lady and had a statue in his ship of her discovered America on the feast day of Our Lady of the Pillar (October 12), if that is not a sign from God I don't know what is!
Our Lady of the Pillar, Pray for Spain, Portugal, France, Sweden, Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, US, Canada, Australia, NZ , Philippines, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and all the countries where the Christian Church are persecuted in so many angles.
You know it’s funny; we did a pilgrimage through Regina Pilgrimages and we stopped in Zaragoza (we did the opposite pilgrimage this priest did where it started at Lourdes and it ended in Fatima) and right across the street from the Cathedral of our Lady of the Pillar is the Cathedral of Saint James and they’re both stunning, gorgeous, beautiful cathedrals. I wish here in America we had something like this. Or at least the Faith. Lovely homily.
I've never heard of this story before! Fascinating that it goes all the way back to Apostolic Times! Our Lady of the Pillar, pray for us and intercede for us!
Thank you for that history of the church sermon. My country the Philippines was discovered by the spaniards. And my city was One of their ports and they brought there the OUR LADY OF THE PILLAR .it is our patron saint of our city.wonderful open cburch left to us by d spaniards.it is located at d back of a what was used to be a battle fort stil d same old 500plus old fort with d church standing der. OUR LADY OF THE PILLAR IS OUR PILLAR OF PROTECTION FOR OUR CITY.
Spanish catholic roots. Mexican life is beautiful for this reason and its been a battle of the enemy trying to make it be hidden. Along with Our Lady of Guadalupe making warriors of faith in the new Spain. The catholic seeds in the new world.
Many thanks, Father. Sr Lucy together with founders of the Blue Army composed a very short Act of Consecration prayer to Our Lady which they called a pledge to Our Lady to be prayed. The Pledge to Our Lady: bluearmy.com/the-apostolate/pledge/ To offer up every day the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty. To pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily while meditating on the Mysteries. To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as a profession of this promise and as an ACT of CONSECRATION to YOU. I will renew this promise often, especially in moments of temptation. Note: This pledge is not a vow and does not bind under sin. They've added a promise to complete the five 1st Saturdays requested by our Lady in 1925, which wasn't in the original pledge but an excellent devotion. With all due respect to St. Louis de Montfort’s total consecration to Mary which was around for 250 years before Fatima and takes weeks, the above shortened consecration/pledge is what Sr. Lucy gave us as a proper response to Our Lady's requests at Fatima after she was charged by Jesus with spreading devotion to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart in the World. Please consider it.
Garabandal is a hoax. Conchita is a false prophet and a deceiver. She promised our lady Mary told her to tell a blind man he will be cured. He died blind. Nothing this woman says is true.
Garabandal apparitions are true. Maybe the sight restored was his spiritual sight.Jesus spoke to Vasssula Ryden in True Life In God several times about Garabandal.
The reason its not approved is because the prophecies haven't come true yet. Padre Pio and Mother Theresa ( Two of the greatest saints of our time) were both close friends with Conchita Gonzalez and believed in the apparitions. That's good enough for me.
you should still be skeptical about that hole series of visions, in fact they seem to come from a dark source . The seers jumping thur hoops, walking backwards barking like dogs, the hold time looking like they were affected! The more you look at this apparition the more it seems the work of the devil. As for any saint throwing their hat in the ring remember that the church in Rome has the final say so...period.

People have commented that Filipinos are what is keeping Catholicism alive here in California.
Ave Maria...yes first time I about Our Lady of the Pillar Apparition...n when Our Blessed Mother was alive 🙏

Can I get a source for him having the statue in his ship?

My Birthday 12 of October... Blessed to know the Saint of my birthday...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 to you! On the feast of Our lady of the pillar!

Amem! thank you father, beautiful Holy Sermon about Our Lady of Pilar; 3 Hail Marys for the priest.
Spain "Tierra Mariana" (Mary´s land)
Outstanding homily! God bless
Wonderful. Thank you.
Beautiful sermon..thank you.
Long Live The Queen.
Ave Maria
Correct if I'm wrong :). Our Lady appeared to St. James before Our Lady's assumption into heaven? Thank you and Deo Gratias!
I just read wikipedia. It's bilocation, just like St. Pio. Transported by angels.
Amen!!!
Hispania since 218 BC. Gracias a Dios, Santiago (Santiago el mayor)
Just the facts.

A correction, body of St.Thomas was never found in India.
It was. And moved first to Edesa, followed by to Italy, where its remains still exists.
Spain does have a great history in the Church. Even greater this March 8, 2018, The Great Miracle in Garabandal.
