This weekend I will make my annual pilgrimage to the shrine of Kevelaer in Germany, where Mary has been venerated under the title Consoler of the Afflicted since 1642.
Please let me know if you have any prayer requests. I will leave them for you at the shrine and light you a candle. You can contact me in private here or via Facebook.
Do you have any requests?
