Pope Benedict XVI appointed Cardinal Godfried Danneels, archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, as his special envoy to celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of the apparitions of the Virgin of the Poor. The appointment was announced in a 27 March Latin-language letter to the cardinal, made public last Saturday. The anniversary celebrations are to be held at the shrine of Banneux, Belgium, this Saturday. Cardinal Danneels will be accompanied on his mission by Fathers Karl Gatzweiler and Joseph Bodeson, members of the cathedral chapter of Liege, Belgium. From 15 January to 2 March 1933, Our Lady appeared eight times to Mariette Beco, calling herself the Virgin of the Poor. [Zenit] |
