ARGENTINA, Inés Petiti. The Auxiliary MTA from the Rosary Campaign of the Diocese of Corrientes, Argentina has been traveling through Goya since February 18th. Missionaries, Raquel and Esteban, took her to the Battalion of Engineers Monte 12, from Goya, where she spread her mother’s mantle and wholeheartedly sheltered her children in the army. She was welcomed with great honors.
It is impossible to describe with words what was experienced at this place with the presence of the Blessed Mother. The men and women of the Army escorted her with all the love of the world. She was accompanied by the sounds of the army band, which brought tears of joy and touched hearts. Two soldiers carried the Auxiliary MTA to the place of honor, where the Army Chaplain led a very touching ceremony. She looked at everyone maternally, and the missionaries, who came with so much love, so much honor for this Queen, felt as though their hearts would burst. Once again, God demonstrated the great heavenly love that He has for his children as his instruments.
Just like that October 18, 1914
The shield of the Army’s men and women protected her on the way to the automobile transporting her to Saint Joseph’s Retirement Home. She graciously blessed them with the power that she has for being the Mother of God. The applause they heard as she passed brought tears to the eyes of the missionaries; they were encountering the God of Life through that Covenant of Love, just like that October 18, 1914.
Blessed Pilgrim Mother, Admirable Blessed Mother – you are on the road showing us your Son, Jesus, on the face of each brother and sister! Mother of God, thank you for giving us so much! Your presence always embraces the hearts of your children. Lady, stay with us, we need you so much!
