Podcast: All Things Marian

Transcript is available using the "Download" button.

Description: Today's reflections are of Our Lady Mary as Mother of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Then, as we move into looking at Mary and walking with her, we will look at the parts of the Mass. And recently, I heard a wonderful homily by a deacon from our church, Deacon Mark Danis, and I have him to thank for a new insight into the Mass and to Our Lady and her role in the Mass.

And then, we'll conclude our picture of Mary with Reconciliation and what that means.
