The Shrine

“Mt. Airy” is the familiar name for the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary sitting on a hill above Cincinnati. The shrine had its start in the late 1880s, when Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre bought what was then a country estate for $18,000 and gave it to the Franciscan friars.

Dear Fathers & Sisters, I hereby request you to pray earnestly for the Christians who are renouncing to pray or honor Mother Mary. Thus, it has led to closure of basilica shrines in India, kindly do pray for the cause and so that there is no basilica churches are closed due to disrespect to mother mary. Other sects come in large gathering to honor mother mary which has irked discomfort amongst Christians. Many thanks, Gajalakshmi P

Dearest St Anthony, I'm having so much trouble letting go of A. His family are arranging a marriage for him and I feel heartbroken. I know that there are so many differences between us and I shouldn't have expected that we could have a relationship, but we fell in love and now we are being torn apart again. I want to believe that God is guiding me and has a plan for my life, but I feel so lonely. There isn't even any one I can talk to about the situation. Jesus, I place my trust in You. Amen.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
