Rimas, my teammate, is Lithuanian and told me about the first approved Marian apparition in Europe. Our Lady of Siluva appeared to a group of Calvinists to encourage them to return to the Catholic Church. Mary, under this title, is recognized as the patroness of fallen away and lukewarm Catholics. Let us ask her intercession for all those students, especially at UNF, who are tempted to waver in their fidelity to Our Lord and the beautiful life He calls us all to lead!

Thanks! I had always seen her chapel at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in DC but never knew the story that went with it. :)
That's cool! But instead of limiting the prayers to just one small group, let's pray to her for all the lukewarm and fallen away souls walking this life in such loneliness and despair. Cool post, Kel!
