Description
Join Mary Stenson on All Things Legion as she marks the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes with an episode that moves from prayer to reflection, and from the Legion of Mary’s roots to the wider landscape of faith. She opens with the traditional prayers of the Legion and an intention for local Curiae, then turns to a recent piece by former royal chaplain Gavin Ashenden on approaching the Catechism “one paragraph at a time.” His look at belief—what we think, what we can’t think, and what we’re drawn to beyond thought—sets the tone for the rest of the program.
From there, Mary turns to Frank Duff and his chapter on Abraham from The Woman of Genesis. She reads through Duff’s account of Abraham’s world—its customs, its faults, and the long arc of God’s dealings with him—bringing out how the early stories of Scripture sit against their historical setting.
To close, Mary introduces a recent interview with Father John Orilla, longtime secretary to Padre Pio, recorded by the Diocese of Wilmington. His recollections offer a direct glimpse into the life and manner of Padre Pio through someone who knew him well.
