1/11/24 - Fr. Elias Mills, F.I. - All About Our Lady! (Part Three)

Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I. served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000.   In Today's Show - All About Our Lady! (Part Three) It seems to be quite difficult to find a lot of concrete information about the end of Our Lady's life on Earth. I have heard that she was simply assumed into heaven in her sleep, but that is very hard to envision for a mere mortal like myself. What can you tell me about that? Does the name Mary have any special meaning or symbolism? What can you tell me about the Secrets of Fatima, particularly the Third Secret? Could you please explain the Seven Swords of Sorrow that pierced our Blessed Mother's heart? With your upcoming pilgrimage(s) to Akita, can you please speak briefly about that particular apparition and how it may relate to the times we find ourselves in? Why wasn't the Virgin Mary with the ladies on Easter morning? Was it Jewish culture that a mother would dress the body of her child? Is it believed Jesus had already seen Mary and maybe that's why?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!
