Part 12 of my first book, “The Constant Procession.” World War I deliver's death as many give their lives in Christ like fashion to protect their families and the world from the attitude that ‘might makes right.' The post war societal loss of the best and brightest, created a vacuum. Fatalism overtakes faith and the Roaring Twenties attitude of “anything goes” becomes the way of the world. The remaining Fatima seer, Sister Lucia pleads for the Fatima apparition's request, to re-consecrate the world to love one another, as role modeled by the motherly love given by the Blessed Mother.

Idleness, silos, anonymous comments and prayer. Plus the time when the Virgin Mary sought out a friend. There are overlooked aspects of the effect isolation due to the pandemic has on us and without communal prayer, we must double our personal efforts to pray to God on our own. The other day I was having trouble with a minor technical issue with my printer. I knew there would be someone on line who had a video with a fix. Naturally I went to ‘everyone’s go to video source’ on the internet to find a video that would demonstrate someone’s recorded solution to this printer’s problem. To my surprise, for this particular issue there was just one video. I played it. The narrator had a very thick accent, actually barely a command of the English language. For me, having grown up in a first-generation English language household, this is not an issue. For me It’s generally just a matter of paying closer attention to the words being spoken and in this case, the technical aspect of the issue helped with my understanding. The solution was fairly straight forward and I was able to make the adjustment on my printer. I went back to the video and thought I’d add a ‘like’ to the provider who spoke broken English for his solution. I happened to scan one of the comments just before clicking off my computer. To my surprise the comments, and there were a number of them were extremely crass and condescending even cruel. The comments for the most part had nothing to do with the solution. They did not say things like, hey this didn’t work (because the solution did work) nor did it say they had a better solution. No instead the comments were solely about the persons English. And it’s not as though the comments had a positive spin like, ‘Hey next time check out the pronunciation of some of your wording’ or ‘Your solution was great, but your accent got in the way a bit.” No the comments were like, hey don’t even try to do a video in English, another comment ‘Your English Sucks, and so do you…and these don’t include the comments with cursing. It still makes me shake my head as I recall the experience. I mean this was just a solution to setting up a printer. It was not discussing a societal issue nor the tumult of the Corona virus on society. Yet the discord and judgements of those commentators, mostly anonymous, were extremely venomous and angry and unnecessary on such a simple printer related work around. All this brings to light the notions that idleness, lack of social interaction and paying too close attention to one’s personal communication medium is devolving us into silos of behavior unfitting for humanity and especially in this day and age. As I mentioned last week, without the practice of communal praying to God, where you and your churchgoing peers do attempt to try to reset a weekly recommitment to live by the Golden Rules of honoring our Lord and treating others the same way as we wish them to treat us, is making the world a more challenging place to live day to day. The longer this isolation drags on, the more it’s important to seek time with God. Idleness, the silos we are all finding ourselves in due to the pandemic fears and the inability to gather on Sunday’s in church, is contributing to the unrest all across the world. We can live better and make a better world out of this virus mess. We can grow stronger if we work together in not being so judgmental. And as for finding a friendly, someone you can identify with? In this episode we remember how the Virgin Mary found her solution when facing the uncertainty of her pregnancy.   I value feedback through the comments section on my website OR- Better via email at NikosSteves@gmail.com   Constant Procession tells of key apparitions of the Virgin Mary since she passed on from the world and how she serves humanity through Christianity.

October 13, 1998 was the final publicly announced apparition in Conyers, Georgia for Nancy Fowler. In her final message, according to Nancy Fowler, the Virgin Mary asked people to "pray for peace around the world" Also- "If you are worried about the future, put not your attention to these matters, the future holds no concerns for those who truly seek God and love Him and remain in His favor."

This installment is about the early days in Medjugorje. Things start changing in the village as more and more people came there. Visitors would congregate in and around the church before and/or after climbing up to the apparition site where the teens first met the Virgin Mary. Some visitors wanted to go to confession before taking communion. Others visitors simply wished to linger or meditate and they chose to do so around the church grounds. Before long, church services were offered each evening. Gradually, even the villagers began to find themselves participating more frequently in these church services as well. A renewed spiritual energy grew in the little village. On the world front, President Reagan delivered his “Tear Down This Wall” challenge to the Soviets and East German Government and things in Poland continued to heat up between the God-fearing workers and the Godless Communist regime.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

Medjugorje is located in the Balkans, an area where for centuries, different cultures met and overlapped and it must be understood in context with this region of the world. This area is the "pointy edge of the sword" for humanity. The Balkans are a place where some people held fast onto their cultural and religious values and fought and died in support of their beliefs. It is a place where over the centuries; others simply followed what the rulers of the day dictated. And so it should come as no surprise, that the Madonna chose to appeared here, in this region of the world where World War 1 started.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

They say the Madonna told them she is a servant messenger of God and that she delivered a series of requests for humanity, which included specific messages for guidance… Also in the installment a president and a pope, while recovering from their wounds, each individually recognize a renewed clarity about how precious life is and how they must spend the rest of their lives.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

This installment delves into the realities of life and death in world leadership in the early 1980’s. At the same time, in a very distant part of the world, far from the trappings of modern times, we light on the earliest experiences of six teen and pre-teenagers who find themselves in the presence of a lady. A “lady in white” who calls herself the “Queen of Peace.” It began on June 24, 1981, in a country that no longer exists.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

This installment learns of official government and medical documents that testify to the witnessed visual experiences and healings by and for humanity during visitations of the Virgin Mary in Egypt. Also in this episode is the Madonna’s role on humanity as the effects of oppressive cold war governments continued. Suffering and shortages in the Communist Eastern Bloc countries resulted. Change was in the air as “under the radar” results began to swirl. And apparitions of the Virgin Mary apparently had influenced friends and foes alike, as witnessed by changes in the Roman Catholic leadership, the United States of America’s leadership, the people of Poland and the leaders in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. All the other Eastern Bloc countries were watching.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

In this installment, the cold war actions on the world stage were captured in Time Magazine’s famous 1966 proclamation that “God is Dead.” In the USA in particular it became an often-debated question for humanity during those times of tremendous social upheaval as the 1960’s are well remembered for. Chapter 25 is entitled An Apparition for All. The Madonna appears over a Coptic Orthodox church in of all places Cairo, Egypt.

This installment goes into the challenges for determining the make-up of new governments for the vanquished countries after World War 2. The tensions between the victors took divergent courses. The inevitable solutions when humanity becomes confrontational over disagreements is typically solved by war, where one side wins the other looses. But the nuclear age got in the way of this scenario and the advent of mutually assured destruction forced new ways to battle. From Germany to Viet Nam…the great divide faced off in new different ways. And the cynicism that followed WWI turned to fatalism following WWII. As for the Virgin Mary? She was there also.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

This installment covers Chapter 23 – A Society Without God followed by the beginning of Chapter 24 - Hot Pursuit in a Cold War. Two experiences, one a personal story, the other an institutional story that took place in the Soviet Union as it grew in power and strength in the post war years. The first is about a college graduate who finds himself in prison, almost as soon as he started working in his chosen profession. The second story is about the challenges for an entire religious denomination. These events reveal how humanity had to "face off" with the growing power of the Soviet regime that was determined to break the spirit of those wanting the liberty to worship freely in their homelands.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

The first observation came from the early beginnings in 1943 France and the other from post war events in Hungary in 1947.

This installment remembers the void created by the loss of soldiers from WWI who gave their lives in Christ-like service to protect others. Gone were so many future role models who may have guided their generation towards a different way of living. In this vacuum cynicism, rather than faith became the hallmark of the "Roaring 20’s" era.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

Chapter 20 traces the actions humanity followed in answer to the Madonna’s requests at Fatima. And in a world lost in the horrific blood bath of the war, it was a “kill or be killed” mindset that won the battle for hearts and minds. Never the less, in retrospect; the controllers of the media and others in powerful places choose to ignore and not spread the word of the events at Fatima, missing an opportunity to build widespread public awareness of the messages for considering “out of box” alternatives.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

Fear by the parents for the safety of their children grew as the day for the final appearance of the Virgin Mary came. But this time, all the parents stood by their children. “We will die, if necessary, with our children.” The crowd, estimated to be well over 30,000 came to see if indeed some sort of a tangible sign or proof that the Madonna was present would occur. The rest is history.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

The seers of Fatima are asked to pray the rosary and told to make everything they do a sacrifice. And after their initial sightings of the Madonna in Fatima, they find themselves in the news. A growing crowd of somewhere between 3000-5000 people appear by the third date. Pestered by believers wanting them to ask for miracles, accused of being liars by some family members and threatened to be “boil in oil” by the local government if they didn’t recant, the stakes are high for the three little children, the eldest just ten years old at the time.   The Constant Procession is a book, a personal memoir about the history of the Virgin Mary or the Madonna since she passed on.

This installment finds Napoleon III taking a hard line with people who start coming to Lourdes following the apparition. He finds himself inclined to support the local government officials who are determined to keep the site closed to the public.

This installment is about Our Lady of Lourdes… It took place in the year 1858. One request by the Madonna was to have a chapel built where she stood to help people, according to seer Bernadette Soubiron. And still today it is a major Christian site where people go to heal…with well over a million people coming there each year. There is a constant stream of people visiting…with people requesting the Virgin Mary to intercede for them, to pass their prayers onto Jesus the Christ on their behalf. These requests are made hour after hour, day after day… Though difficult for people without faith to understand… it is a place of comfort for many who travel there…and documented miracles have occurred.
