A St. Thomas Show with Aero and co-hosts Sheila, Rob and Birdi Reach out to Rawband.erson at rawband.erson0000@gmail.com RAWBANDerson YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@RAWBANDerson Title: Disclosure Part 1 Disclosure Part One: Reality, Source, the Indictment, and a New World Ahead Summary Disclosure as a Series The episode opens by introducing "Disclosure Part One" as the beginning of a planned series of discussions. The host thanks the production team, BBS Radio technical support, listeners, subscribers, and donors, while also promoting several related programs and inviting listeners to submit questions for a future live-call episode. The host explains that the current program will focus on an indictment and on broader ideas that the speakers describe as disclosure. Rob Anderson joins the discussion as co-host, and the two establish a conversational tone in which disagreement is welcomed. The host says the goal is to present perspectives that encourage listeners to consider their own understanding of reality. Throughout the episode, the speakers frame the material as their beliefs, interpretations, and information they say they have encountered. Books, Movies, and the Nature of Reality A major early theme is the use of books and popular films as metaphors for reality and spiritual understanding. The host discusses Richard Bach's books, including Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions, The Bridge Across Forever, and One, describing them as formative works in his own development. The conversation then turns to The Matrix, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Jupiter Ascending. Rob says The Matrix resonated with him from a young age and interprets its themes of freeing the mind as relevant to his current beliefs. Both speakers discuss reality as possibly holographic or constructed, and they repeatedly emphasize the idea that personal perception shapes experience. The host encourages listeners to keep an open mind and to use the heart as an internal guide. Religion, Source, and Spiritual Authority The host reads from his show mission and discusses his belief that humanity is creating a new Earth in peace. He describes Yeshua as his twin brother and argues that organized religion altered earlier spiritual teachings, while Rob rejects the use of the terms "Lord" and "Savior" because he believes they imply hierarchy. Their discussion centers on the belief that Source or divine energy exists within every person rather than in an external authority. Rob references the Anastasia books while explaining his view that religious and political hierarchies can be manufactured by those claiming special access to God. The host connects these ideas to teachings he attributes to Q and says humans are capable of the same kinds of acts that religious traditions describe as miracles. The speakers present spiritual self-trust and inner connection as alternatives to dependence on external authorities. The Indictment and Claims of Hidden Systems The host spends a substantial part of the episode reading from and commenting on a 217-page document he describes as a criminal trial or indictment. He says the document names more than a thousand defendants, including organizations, entities, and alleged nonhuman groups, and contains accusations involving control, depopulation, enslavement, and crimes against humanity and the planet. The host also discusses alleged Vatican records, the Book of Sarah, Project Blue Beam, underground facilities, and other claims about concealed technology and political events. Rob adds his belief that some forms of disclosure can themselves create fear by placing people on predicted timelines. He says he rejects prophecy and prefers a spiritual focus on the present moment. Both speakers repeatedly distinguish between what they call dark-side planning and what they describe as light, Source energy, and present-moment creation. Health, Technology, Genetics, and Self-Reliance The conversation later moves into fluoride, COVID-19 vaccines and testing, med beds, genetics, DNA, addiction, and spiritual healing. The host reads claims from the indictment concerning fluoride and COVID-19 biotechnology, while Rob discusses his personal use of distilled water and his past experiences with cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and food. Both speakers emphasize gradual personal growth and the idea that people are at different stages of their journeys. They discuss Creation Light Ship as a tool they use but caution, from their perspective, against relying on any outside tool as the sole source of healing or answers. Rob describes spirit itself as technology and argues that inner guidance should eventually become more important than machines or outside authorities. The host also reads from Wendy O'Leary's children's book about self-compassion, which leads to a discussion about emotional development, parenting, and breaking generational patterns. A Positive Ending and a Different Vision of Money The final portion shifts deliberately toward what the host calls positive disclosure. He presents a hopeful vision in which war, oppression, poverty, trafficking, disease, and other forms of suffering come to an end, and he describes a future involving new technology, a new currency, and a world organized around peace and abundance. The host also makes predictions and claims about elections, nuclear threats, political events, and military control, presenting them as information he believes to be true. Rob closes with a more specific discussion of money, arguing for a non-inflationary system with no time value of money and no interest or usury. He says money should function as a stable medium for services or trade rather than as a way to profit from another person's hardship. Sheila briefly adds that everyone is on an individual journey while also being in it together, and the host ends by inviting questions and collaboration for the next program.
In this explainer episode, we've asked Dr Antonio D'Alessio, Medical Oncologist at Guys and St Thomas Foundation Trust, to explain cancer vaccines and how they work. You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel. If you've got any questions, or have any other topics you'd like us to explain, let us know on podcast@genomicsengland.co.uk. You can download the transcript or read it below. Florence: What are cancer vaccines and how do they work? My name is Florence Cornish, and today I'm joined by Antonio D'Alessio, who is a medical oncologist ay Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation Trust and King's College. And he's going to be telling us much more about the topic. So Antonio, before we get into cancer vaccines, I wanted to first ask you about cancer. I know it's a pretty broad term, and it refers to the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body, but maybe it would be helpful for you to explain a little bit more about what cancer actually is, like what that term means, especially for listeners out there who might not have that scientific background. Antonio: Yeah, of course. And first of all, thanks for inviting me today. Well, that's a big question. The point is that we know that in our bodies there are billions of cells, and all of these cells, they divide, they do their job, and they know when to die on schedule. The point is that sometimes there are cells that ignore this instruction and just keep reproducing and growing, and this is when cancer grows. Our bodies have systems, which is the immune system, to recognize when this happens so that the immune system can recognize the cancer cells that are growing too much. They attack them and destroy them. But unfortunately, sometimes cancer is quite clever, they manage to escape from the immune system and starts growing without control, and that's when cancer starts. Florence: And so, what are the standard treatments that we use for cancer at the moment? Antonio: Well, broadly speaking, I would say that we have three types of cancer treatments. One, it's surgery, where we just cut the cancer out. Then we have radiotherapy, where we basically induce targeted damage to the cancer. And then we have a very broad umbrella term that is systemic therapy. Systemic therapies can be chemotherapy, can be targeted therapies, and that can be immunotherapy. In particular, immunotherapy is quite exciting because over the past 20 years, we have learned how to boost the immune system of patients, so that's the white blood cells, the immune system of patients that can recognize cancer cells and attack them. Sort of imagine that cancers hide behind an invisibility cloak, and immunotherapy helps unveil the cancer so that the immune system can recognize the cancer again and attack it. And vaccines and cancer vaccines are part of this family of immunotherapy drugs. Florence: Yeah so speaking about that, I think lots of listeners might have heard of the term cancer vaccine before, obviously, its the topic of this episode. And I think the term cancer vaccine sounds very interesting and promising, but also maybe a little bit intimidating as well. So maybe you could tell me more about what a cancer vaccine is kind of at the most basic level. Antonio: Well, cancer vaccine is a vaccine, and we have received so many vaccines in our lives that our body basically has learnt already how to process a vaccine. Imagine a vaccine as a wanted poster. So, we give the body the instructions to recognise something that shouldn't be there, and the immune system knows how to do it. So, the job of the immune system is to recognize strangers in our bodies - that can be microbes, bacteria, viruses, and also cancers. And sometimes with a vaccine, we sort of help the immune system to do its job a bit better. And with vaccines, we provide the instructions to recognize these strangers in our body and help the immune system to, to get rid of them. And in particular, for cancer vaccines, we have different types of cancer vaccines. There's a family of cancer vaccines that are called preventative, where we can try to give a vaccine even before the cancer develops to reduce the risk that the cancer develops. And, this is more early in the development. While we have, another family of cancer vaccine, which are mostly mRNA cancer vaccines that are called therapeutic. So these are cancer vaccines that are given to patients who already have cancer, maybe who had the surgery for their cancers, so that the aim of the cancer vaccine is to boost immune system and reduce the chances that the cancer comes back after surgery, or, help other types of immunotherapy work better together with vaccine against the cancer. Florence: So, I think for me at Genomics England, the mRNA cancer vaccines are probably most relevant to the work that we do here as an organization. Could you explain a little bit more about how those ones work specifically? Antonio: Yeah, that's an exciting field, right? The mRNA vaccine. So, let's split this into different words, mRNA and vaccine. We have just covered what vaccine means. We just have to think mRNA as just instructions. So we give the body of the patients the instruction to recognize the cancer. And the mRNA is basically the instruction for the immune system to recognize some of the proteins that are expressed on the cancer cells, so that's the white blood cells, the own white blood cells of the patients that can be more alert and identify the cancer cells if they are around. And in particular, imagine when we give the mRNA vaccine, it's like we are giving the picture of a suspect to the police, right? The police is the immune system of the patients, and the suspect is the cancer. And so, the immune system, so the police of our body, can go around the body, can go around the bloodstream, can go around the organs, and if they see the suspect, they are, they are already alerted, and they can tackle it, attack it, and destroy it before it develops into, into a cancer that can be seen on the scans. Florence: And are these types or other types of cancer vaccines being used in the clinic at all in real medical settings already? Antonio: Well, I wouldn't say that we are using that in clinical practice, but probably in the future we will, and we are working hard to make sure that we will be able to use cancer vaccine for our patients. At this stage, we are using cancer vaccines as part of clinical trials, and these clinical trials cover different types of cancer types, different types of setting, together with other drugs or given alone after surgery, for instance. And the NHS England, Genomics England and NIHR, they launched this massive infrastructure that is called the Cancer Vaccine Launchpad. And it is aimed specifically to match the NHS cancer patients with personalized mRNA vaccine trials, so that once we have the results of those trials and we are ready to deploy it in clinical practice, then we already have the infrastructure to do that promptly, hopefully in the next future. Florence: Mm-hmm. Yeah, so do you see a future where cancer vaccines are used in routine care? Antonio: Well, we are working towards that. And I, and I do see a future where we're going to use that. I don't know when. Probably it will take still a few years. But the, for example, in the UK and in England in particular, we have a national cancer plan, and the national cancer plan for this year has identified cancer vaccine as a top priority for our health system. And this is because this is a technology that can be scalable, that can be widely deployed once it's demonstrated to be working. And at this stage, there are still some open questions, like which cancer types in which setting, which patients would benefit from it. But once we address these open questions in clinical trials, then I do believe that we'll be able to use that in the, in the future. Florence: I think we'll finish there. Thank you so much, Antonio, for coming on and for taking the time to talk to us. Antonio: Thank you Florence, and thank you for the invite. Florence: If listeners want to hear more explainer episodes like this, you can find them on our website at www.genomicsengland.co.uk or wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you for listening.

Greek authorities are investigating the death of a 62-year-old British woman who died in her cabin aboard a Marshall Islands-flagged cruise ship near Santorini on July 26; the Port Authority of Thira has opened an investigation and an autopsy was ordered at the Forensic Medical Service of Piraeus. In St. Thomas, dredging of the cruise harbor at Havensight begins in September 2026 under contractor Orion Marine Construction, with completion expected by mid-2027 — work that WICO President and CEO Joseph Boschulte says will finally let the largest Oasis-class ships call safely, as the territory projects 362 calls and roughly 1.2 million passengers in fiscal 2027. And Princess Cruises has opened sales for its 2028 Alaska season, with 185 departures across 14 itineraries on eight ships, 86 scheduled scenic-cruising visits to Glacier Bay National Park, and cruise-tour options anchored by five wilderness lodges and the Direct-to-the-Wilderness rail service.
What does it take to build AV for a campus arena that needs to serve student-athletes, commencements, external events, and 24/7 operations?Live from InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, UC Today's Marcus Law speaks with Patrick Eisenhauer, Director of Audio Visual and Event Services at the University of St. Thomas, about the university's major athletics and events facility project with Panasonic.Patrick explains how the University of St. Thomas made the jump from Division 3 to Division 1 athletics, why that move required a new multi-purpose facility, and how Panasonic professional displays became a key part of the AV strategy.The discussion covers the scale of the arena, the importance of aligning technology choices with university standards, and why consumer-grade displays were not the right fit for a venue expected to support heavy daily usage.Patrick also shares why InfoComm remains essential for higher education technology leaders, from education sessions and vendor relationships to spotting the solutions that will shape future campus experiences.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… TOTO WAS SO HAPPY WITH THE SAFETY CAR FINISH AT SILVERSTONE! MAX TO MCLAREN WILL NEVER HAPPEN! WHAT ABOUT MAX FOLLOWING ADRIAN NEWEY TO ASTON MARTIN?? AND NOW……. WE HAVE… FERNANDO GOING TO ALPINE AND FLAVIO…RIDICULOUS X3 THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…INTERVIEW WITH HOWDEN GANLEY ONE OF THE ORIGINAL EMPLOYEES AT MCLAREN!! WE DO NEED YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO KEEP THIS PROGRAM ON THE AIR JUST CLICK ON THE SUPPORT F1W TAB ON THE FRONT PAGE YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO! howden ganley... Born in 1941 in Hamilton, New Zealand, Howden Ganley's youthful ambitions were to either race yachts or play for the All Blacks New Zealand Rugby team. However, after attending 1955's New Zealand Grand Prix with his father and brother his ambitions changed and he set his goal on racing in Formula 1. After leaving school, he became a reporter for a newspaper and wrote a column for a magazine and once he obtained his license he raced in local events in his Mother's Morris Minor. He progressed to a Lotus Eleven but in order to fund his racing ambitions he was doing three jobs, on a construction site during the day, waiting tables in a restaurant at night then pumping gas at weekends. Once he obtained the Lotus he entered it for 1961's New Zealand GP at Ardmore and he won his class in the sports car race plus a race for New Zealand drivers only. He went on to race for two seasons though in a wet race at Dunedin his car finished up wrapped round a telegraph pole but he was fortunately uninjured. He eventually moved to the UK and began a career as a mechanic, becoming involved with Mike Moseley, who was planning on producing a road car called the Falcon 515. Once he helped get the car into production he would be allowed to build a lightweight version and race it. A friend, John Muller, helped him and he said the two shared a “bedsit over a railway line, ice on the inside of the window, single light socket hanging from the ceiling. There was a coin-slot meter, but we just plugged everything into that one light socket, because that was free, and put a six-inch nail across the fuse box.” From here he moved on and joined the Gemini Formula Junior team, as a mechanic and driver. He competed in his first single seater race at Goodwood and following this was the Nurburgring (finishing 14th out of 41 starters) but the team later lost their sponsorship and folded. He then became involved with the Talon F3 car but then came an offer from Bruce McLaren and he became one of the first employees of Bruce McLaren Motor Racing, working alongside Wally Wilmott, Tyler Alexander and Eoin Young in “a shed in New Malden full of earth-moving equipment: dirt floor, work bench, vice, set of welding bottles, a hacksaw and a file.” When asked by Tyler and Wally ‘Why are you here?', and telling them he was a mechanic, they told him “No you're not. We don't know whether you can thread a nut on the end of a bolt. You're a gopher.” During this period he worked as crew chief at Drummond Racing for Skip Scott and Peter Revson during the 1966-67 Can-Am season. After purchasing a Brabham BT21, he went on to race for two years in the series then switched to a Chevron B15. Towards the end of 1969's F3 season, despite starting 22nd on the grid at Brands Hatch, he was 11th by the fourth lap, sixth on lap 14 and on the last lap he was fourth after overtaking Francois Cevert in a Tecno. Going into the last corner while fighting another car for third he put a wheel on the grass, which let F.Cevert to get past. However, although he eventually finished fifth he had broken the circuit's F3 lap record at an average of exactly 100mph. His F3 racing then led to F5000 with a McLaren M10B-Chevrolet in 1970 and during the year he finished fourth in Oulton Park's Gold Cup race and finished second in the series to Peter Gethin. McLaren regularly tested the F5000 car at Goodwood and on one occasion Denny Hulme was also there with the Can-Am car. They needed someone to go in the passenger seat and “take the readings on a manometer or something they had in there. And nobody wanted to get in! Bruce asked me to do it. That was pretty entertaining, Denny right on the limit with me taking the readings. It was fantastic for me, because I totally trusted Denny. I also did a little bit of Can-Am testing in the M8.” Howden described Bruce McLaren as “the greatest leader of men I've ever met in my life…he was one of the nicest people, always happy and smiling, even in adversity, cheery, friendly. And he had that amazing ‘can do, will do,' attitude.” His F5000 racing brought him to the attention of the BRM F1 team, who signed him for 1971 and he took a strong fifth place in the Italian GP at Monza and fourth at Watkins Glen while in non-championship races he finished second in Oulton Park's Gold Cup, fourth at Hockenheim and fifth in the Race of Champions. In taking his fifth place at Monza, he was involved in the closest finish in GP history when just 0.61 seconds covered the top five finishers. In the team, he watched the strong competition between Pedro Rodriguez and Jo Siffert “As the new boy I saw their rivalry at first hand. Each was determined to beat the other. If I ever set a faster time than one of them in practice or in a test, the other was always delighted. They each wanted the new kid to put the other down. But they were both just wonderful characters, wonderful blokes.” Racing in sports cars, he had a third place finish in a Can-Am race at Riverside with a BRM P167 and co-drove (with Paddy Driver and Mike Hailwood) to third at the Kyalami 9 Hours with a Chevron B19. At the end of the year he was awarded the Wolfgang von Trips Memorial Trophy, for the best performance by a newcomer to Grand Prix racing. Continuing with the team the following year his best finish was fourth at the Nurburgring but in sports cars he won Interserie races at Nurburgring and Zeltweg with a BRM P167 Chevrolet plus finished second at Le Mans with François Cevert in a Matra-Simca MS670. For 1973 he raced Frank Williams Racing's Iso–Marlboro, with his best results being seventh in Brazil and sixth at Mosport. However, that Canadian GP at Mosport could best be described as one of the most chaotic seen. When the race started, it was raining though it stopped and with the track drying the drivers headed to the pits to change tyres. However a number of drivers had to drive through as there was no space for them to be serviced in the small, busy, pit lane. When Jackie Stewart came in his teammate François Cevert's car was up on jacks and he was waved through to take another lap. Once they were back racing nobody knew exactly where they were in the scoring and after Francois Cevert and Jody Scheckter crashed a safety car was deployed. But the safety car pulled in front of Howden, who people maintained wasn't the leader at the time. But nobody has ever been able to say who was the leader plus nobody was really sure who had won, (was it Howden, Jackie Oliver, Peter Revson, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mike Hailwood or James Hunt?). In the end, the race organizers decided Peter Revson had won, with Emerson Fittipaldi second and Jackie Oliver third. Asked at a later date who actually won, Howden declared it was Emerson Fittipaldi, with himself in third place. He said “My wife (Judy Kondratieff, a U.S. sports car racer who was an SCCA regional champion) was the best keeper of lap charts. It was not unusual for other teams and sometime race organisers to double-check what they had against hers. We went over and over what she had for weeks after that race. There's no doubt that Emerson won, with Jackie Oliver probably second and me probably third. We thought, initially, that I had won but when we checked and rechecked, I was in third. As it dried up, I saw what was happening in the pits, and I said there was no way I was going in there. My teammate, Tim Schenken, had stopped, but I waited till things calmed down. I eventually made a very good stop, and the pit lane was clear; I was in and out. So, off I go again — but I didn't know if anyone had gone by me while I was in the pits.' When he came up behind the safety car, they were telling him he was leading and when it pulled off and continued racing, “Emerson got past and maybe Ollie (Jackie Oliver). But Peter Revson never passed me on the track or while I was in the pits.” His wife Judy took her lap chart to the officials but they weren't interested and Howden was classed as finishing sixth, and given one point. In sports cars that year he was usually paired with Derek Bell in the John Wyer Gulf Mirage and took fifth in the 1000Km Zeltweg, fourth at the Watkins Glen 6 Hours plus second in the Spa 1000 Km race (though with Vern Schuppan). He started 1974 with March in Argentina and Brazil (finishing eighth in Buenos Aires) but then accepted an offer from F1 newcomers Maki. Unfortunately it was a frustrating time as he failed to qualify for the British GP but then sustained serious feet and ankle injuries when the suspension broke during practice at the German GP. He found himself in hospital with Mike Hailwood, who had also crashed, and told how team boss Louis Stanley helped them. He arranged a helicopter flight from the hospital to Cologne then “persuaded British Airways to take two stretchers on a scheduled flight, met us at Heathrow, got us to St Thomas' Hospital and laid on the great Mr Urquart — the surgeon who'd looked after Stirling Moss and John Surtees after their big accidents. Urquart's technique for rebuilding bone was, if you can stand the pain you should walk on it. In 16 days I was hobbling around St Thomas.” It would be nine months before he raced again, ironically returning to the Nurburgring with a Mirage GR7 in the 1000Kms race with Tim Schenken and despite Howden not being able to push the brake pedal properly they finished second. During 1975 he also finished second and third in Interserie races at the Nurburgring and Hockenheim with the Mirage. He then raced in Can-Am before retiring as a driver in 1978 but in that time he formed Tiga Race Cars with Tim Schenken (the name coming from TIm and GAnley). The company built Formula Fords and Sports 2000s, Formula Atlantics, C Sports for America, two Can-Am cars, 33 Group Cs, some Formula Ks for Mexico and Howden said that “by 1986 we'd delivered over 400 cars.” There were also plans to compete in Formula One but the project did not proceed due to sponsorship withdrawal. After Tiga he was elected onto the board of the BRDC, and became a director of Silverstone Circuits and Silverstone Estates as well. He was Club Secretary for a period but after leaving the boards they made him a Vice President. Howden also published an autobiography ‘The Road to Monaco: My Life in Motor Racing' which was described as “an exciting, absorbing and often wryly amusing view of motor racing, from the workshop, the pit wall, the cockpit, and many other vantage points.” Sadly, Howden's wife Judy developed cancer and passed away in 2007. Peter Hooper Howden Ganley endured a frustrating year driving one of Frank Williams ISO-Marlboro in 1973. His one claim to fame was “leading” the Canadian GP behind the pace car. Unfortunately for Howden, things got even worse in 1974 when the Maki failed and he ended up with serious leg injuries. I always liked the Isos and this drawing was a joy to do.

On this day, 2 July 1848, enslaved people in St Croix (now the US Virgin Islands) rebelled, burned down plantations and besieged the town of Frederiksted. The Caribbean island was at that time a Danish colony, and it had been decreed that slavery would be abolished in 1859, but the enslaved workers refused to wait. After revolutions in Europe led to turmoil in nearby Martinique and Guadeloupe, hundreds of rebels seized the moment and rose up. By the end of the day, only the local military garrison, Fort Frederiksværn, had not yet been overrun. The following day, the governor general, Peter von Scholten arrived. Faced with demands from the enslaved people to immediately abolish slavery, or they would burn the town to the ground, he relented and shouted out: “Now you are free, you are hereby emancipated.”Technically von Scholten had no authority to abolish slavery, and he was strongly criticised by enslavers and Danish authorities. But faced with a fait accompli, Denmark had no real choice but to accept the situation. The agreement achieved by the formerly enslaved people went even further than just immediate emancipation, as the order issued on the night of July 3 also applied to the Danish colonies of St Thomas and St John, and directed that the enslaved had the right to keep their current housing and provisions for three months, and that elderly and ill labourers had to be looked after by the former enslavers "until further determination".The old enslavers subsequently sued the Danish government demanding recompense for the loss of their "property". Danish Parliament rejected their claim, on the grounds that "slavery [was] itself an institution in conflict with religion and justice". But they did then agreed to pay a relatively low compensation figure of $50 per enslaved person.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9191/st-croix-enslaved-revoltOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 3, we celebrate the Feast of St. Thomas, the Apostle, who at first did not believe, but immediately after became, for the Church, one of the first witnesses to her faith.He expressed the fervor of his regained faith: "My Lord and my God."Pope St. Gregory the Great said, "Thomas' unbelief has benefited our faith more than the belief of the other disciples."The Lord permitted the apostle to doubt after the resurrection, but He did not abandon him in doubt. By his doubt and by his touching the sacred wounds, the apostle became a witness to the truth of the resurrection.St. Thomas preached the Gospel in Asia beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire, probably in Persia and possibly as far afield as India.After he had converted numerous tribes to Christianity, at Calamina (near Madras in India) he suffered martyrdom by being pierced with lances at the king's command.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
