Episode Details

Let's go to Italy! Continuing our celebration of the Month of Mary, come along with Deacon Tom and Mary Jane Fox on an audio pilgrimage to the Pontifical Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary, located in Pompeii, Italy.  Today, the sanctuary also known as Our Lady of Pompeii attracts not only religious pilgrims but also a large number of tourists drawn by its beauty.

During our journey, you will hear about:

• The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed Pompeii
•  The painting of Our Lady of the Rosary, which is venerated at the Pontifical Shrine
• St. Bartolo Longo, a former Satanic priest who became a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, and is an important figure in the Basilica's history

Click here for photos, a special prayer of supplication to the Queen of the Holy Rosary written by Blessed Bartolo Longo, as well as a map view of the Pontifical Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Jewel for the Journey:

"The Rosary is the prayer dearest to Mary, most loved by the Saints, most frequently used by Christian peoples, most honored by God with astounding wonders, most enriched with great promises, by the Virgin." – Blessed Bartolo Longo

We are so grateful to this month's sponsor, Dian Coleman in memory of Ronald Coleman, who made this podcast episode possible.
