Another anniversary

Knock Shrine

August 21st, 1879, there was a Marian apparition at Knock -- or, as one witness put it, "Our Lady is in the village."

Though it's not observed where I live now, I went to Mass today, and heard something that could be taken as a warning to Ireland:

your wealth has continued to increase,

and with this your heart has grown more arrogant . . .

and you will die a violent death

surrounded by the seas.

 But what do I know, I'm not Ezekiel.
