The Shrine of Our Lady of Allotting became very popular towards the end of the Fifteenth century, actually 1489, as a result of a major miracle.

It had to be a contradiction for...

And so we go to John 6:51, to where Jesus gave them what we call the Eucharistic Doctrine. “I Myself, am the living bread, come down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give is My flesh, for the life of the world.” The Jews then disputed among...

One of the most powerful Sacramentals is the Brown Scapular.
