This event bore witness to the great faith and deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the many people who participated in it. The women of Magnificat were filled with the Holy Spirit and it was as evident, not only in prayer but throughout the day. What a blessing! How wonderful it was to finally meet your lovely wife and several of your children, who proved to be so helpful in their generous assistance to you and the Magnificat members throughout the day. Please extend to them my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. May Mary continue to intercede to her Son to give you and your family the blessings of Easter Peace and joy Grateful: - ( Reverent/Monsignor Vito A. Buonanno Director of Pilgrimages 400 Michigan Avenue, Northeast * Washington, District of Columbia 20017-1566 # (202) 526-8300
