Traveling the Shrines of
Germany
The Lord gave us the beauty
of a German winter as a backdrop to frame His beautiful shrines, first
in Bavaria, possibly the most beautiful area blessed by God in the
world, and then up through central Germany to a special shrine dedicated
to the Miracle of the Eucharist at Walldurn. The most descriptive word
we can find is breathtaking. When you think of snow-capped mountains
and white silhouettes on trees and bushes, it just begins to convey the
majesty of the shrines.
We were given permission to
videotape three shrines in Germany, The Miracle of the Eucharist in
Walldurn, the Miracle of the Eucharist in Erding, and the shrine to Our
Lady of Altotting, near Munich. This was being coupled with a Day of
Recollection we were giving to the American Air Force at Ramstein Air
Force Base in Germany.
Our first stop was Munich.
Naturally, we arrived late. Our host couple, Tro (Dimytro) and Kathleen
Schabla had driven some six hours from Ramstein Air Force base, and
were waiting for us for quite a time. Also, we had a three p.m.
appointment with the custodian at Altotting, Fr. Furtner. We arrived at
Altottingat 2:45, completely exhausted, but not too tired to be
completely enthralled by the beauty of the shrine and the town. Again,
breathtaking is the first word that comes to mind. Or better, the glory
of God. God, the great artist, puts His majesty on earth through a
shade of this color, a bold stroke of that, an inspiration in
architecture that takes your breath away. We were falling down on our
feet, and all we wanted to do was to capture this magnificence on
videotape. But we did use prudence, and went to sleep for an hour.
The town is a storybook
setting, with buildings like we would see in Grimm's Fairy Tales, or
Pinocchio, Swiss-chalet style, with thatched roofs. The rooms at the
little hotel we stayed in were taken from what you would expect in the
Tyrolean Alps. It was so obvious that Our Lord Jesus had molded this
place in special honor of His Mother, our Mother, Mary.
Altotting is one of the
oldest Marian Shrines in Germany, and one of the most frequented by
pilgrims. The new custodian, only on duty for a little over a year at
the shrine, Fr. Furtner, is a beautiful, rosy-cheeked outgoing priest,
who has a great love for Our Lady, and has always revered this shrine to
her. We will tell you a little more about this shrine in another issue,
and also on our video presentation, which will be part of our series,
The Many Faces of Mary, which is shown every week on EWTN. But suffice
it to say that during the summertime, there are youth pilgrimages to
Altotting where anywhere up to 8,000 young people come from the seat of
the Diocese of Pasau, 83 kilometres (54 miles) on foot!
The chapel in honor of Our
Lady, where the image of Our Lady of Altotting stands, only holds 75 to
100 people, if you jam them in. Our priest, Fr. Furtner, told us that
last summer, as these thousands of youth descended on the little village
shrine, he knew they would not all get to venerate the image of Our
Lady. So he went inside the church, and did something unheard of. He
took the statue of Our Lady out of the chapel, and kept it in the
courtyard of the Shrine so that everyone would have an opportunity to
visit with her. The entire outside of the chapel is covered, on all
walls, with paintings attesting to miracles through the intercession of
Our Lady of Altotting. These paintings go from the 17th Century,
through World War II, to the present. It doesn't stop. It goes on.
Closer to Munich, actually on
the other side, is the little town of Erding. Again, it is something to
behold. You really have to understand something about the Bavarian area
of Germany. It has always been quaint villages, inhabited by very
friendly, happy people. It is the Germany of the Bruhaus (Beer Hall),
that you still see during the Oktoberfest in Munich.

Dear Bob and Penny:
I never
have expressed my love for people who go out of their way to
bring Our Lord and His most holy Mother to so many people.
Bob and Penny, you both outdid the book on, “The Many Faces of
Mary, Book II.” I started to read this book on Saturday,
October 18 and finished it on Wednesday, October 22. I just did
not put it down. The more I read, the more I fell in love with
Mary, the Mother of God. In reading about Our Lady of Loreto, I
remembered I had read that the Holy House of Loreto where Mary
and Joseph raised the infant Jesus, was the very house in which
Mary herself was raised. Her parents Anna and Joachim had given
the house to Mary.

The
Many Faces of Mary - Book II
the love story continues
Our first book on Our Lady, The
Many Faces of Mary, Book I,
a love story,
has been a best seller since we
first published it in 1987. There
is such a hunger to hear of Mary and how She
helps us in miraculous ways, how She helps
to mold and change history.
In this new book, The Many Faces
of Mary, Book II, the love
story continues...,we
have an urgency to bring you Her most
powerful messages. In this century,
She has given us prophecies
of things which have come about,
as well as warnings
about things
that may happen in the future. She tells us that through
prayer and the Rosary, the tide can turn
on calamity. Justice and Peace can
triumph. All of Her messages come down to that one
command She gave us in Holy Scripture,
"Do whatever He
tells
you!"
Come with us on this journey; join Mother Mary and us
as we walk hand-in-hand with Her in Her
apparitions, at Her shrines, Go to
Jesus through Mary.
the love
story continues.....

Reader comments: Dear Bob and Penny:
I just
purchased the book, “The Many Faces of Mary, a love story.” I can’t begin to
tell you how much I love this book. I checked it out at the library and I
had to order my own copy. I want to read it over and over again. I want to
keep it for my family and friends to read.
I
found out about the book on our awesome Catholic station, EWTN. I’m hooked
on this television network.
I consider you and all the wonderful people on EWTN my teachers. Since the
Passion of the Christ movie I am yearning to learn as much as I can.
I will buy all your books. They are such good and
easy readings. My relationship with our Blessed Mother is so much closer
than ever before because of your book.
May God Bless you always and keep up the good work.
Thanks for being two of my teachers.

Heavenly Army of Angels
"Suddenly, a Heavenly Army of Angels was with the Angel, singing
praises to God: Glory to God in the highest Heaven, and peace on Earth
to men of good will."
Luke 1:13-14
Bob and Penny Lord's
book focuses on the great Army we have been given, the Heavenly Army of
Angels, to give us strength and confidence that we are not alone, because of
this exalted assembly of the Heavenly Hosts. Their years of
researching Shrines, have proven to be great assets in bringing you the
Heavenly Army of Angels in the Old and New Testament, and in the history of
our Church.
"Put on the armor of
God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. For our
wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities
and the Powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against
the spiritual forces of wickedness on high."
(Eph 6:11-12)
If ever there was a need
for Angels, it is in our present time. How can you call on someone you do
not know?
Read about the Angels and their part in your life.
