Foreign Language Translations

It is with humble thanksgiving to God and with great pleasure that I can report I have just added foreign language translations of the Sister Marie prayer to this blog. On the left tool bar just underneath the printable Sister Marie prayer card you'll find links to translations in Polish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Please keep in your prayers the intention of getting actual prayer cards made and printed in each of these languages and more!

Thank you Sister Marie!

Enjoy this interesting article by a Brown University student. It begins:


In some parts, the concept of the Virgin Mary is not limited to Christianity.

EPHESUS, Turkey — "The angels said, 'Oh Mary! God has chosen you and purified you, chosen you above the women of all nations.' "

You will not find this passage in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.

It comes from the Koran....

Adopt Sister Marie as your prayer group's special patroness!

We are collecting the names of prayer groups who will ask Sister Marie to be their special patroness and include the Sister Marie prayer as part of each of their prayer meetings. (Print a free copy of the prayer card and information about her life from the left toolbar.) Also, spreading the word about Sister Marie's life and praying for her cause for beatification is included in this special patronage. The Sister Marie prayer is especially powerful when combined with the Holy Rosary because of course Sister Marie had such a great love and devotion for Our Lady! Sister Marie devoted her life to serving and educating the Children of Mary. Any children's prayer groups, homeschool groups, catechism groups, mother's groups, father's groups, family groups, singles groups, religious groups...all are encouraged to join in the growing number of those who are praying that God will beatify Sister Marie and hear her prayers of intercession on behalf of the Children of Mary. Join us! Please drop me an email at sr.marie@yahoo.com if you would like your prayer group added to the growing list.

Visitors, Writing, Travels, Conferences and More!

Hello Friends. The Sister Marie de Mandat-Grancey Foundation has been VERY busy with the cause for Sister Marie. Many interesting and exciting things are occurring behind the scenes and we hope and pray that day by day and very soon Sister Marie will be known by many new friends all over the world.

Recently we were blessed to be visited by Archbishop Bernardini, retired Archbishop of Turkey and the dear friend of Sister Marie who blessed the prayer card with his Imprimatur, along with Father Benedict Groeschel and Brother Frances of the Grey Friars. (If you are ever in need of a true reason to joyfully hope in the renewal of our Church in these days it is in the young Grey Friars! Today, on this Feast Day of St. Francis let us prayerfully unite in begging God's abundant blessings on them!) Of course Archbishop Bernardini continues his prayers and support for the cause of Sister Marie. Father Benedict Groeschel was so pleased to meet Archbishop Bernardini and graciously listened to the story of Sister Marie. We all sat down to a lovely luncheon and were blessed to listen to these two holy men of God, both Capuchin Fransicans, share their stories and their love for our Holy Catholic faith. It was edifying beyond words. And all this on the Feast Day of the Capuchin Padre Saint whom we all love...Saint Pio!

The writing of the book, A Guiding Star, by our dear friend Father Carl Schulte, C.M., is almost complete! Praise God! It has been an heroic work done with great perseverence and devotion. May God bless Father Carl abundantly and Sister Marie keep him in her fervent prayers always. The editor has begun to review the chapters and we pray that very soon God will send us the perfect publisher.

Next weekend Erin and I will travel again to Sister Marie's beloved Ephesus, Turkey where we will attend the only public Catholic Mass offered in that country each year. The Mass takes place in the ruins of the Council Church. This is the location of the Council of Ephesus in the year 431 AD.; the very same council to pronounce Mary as Mother of God. What a privilege it is to pray along side all the many gathering clergy for this remarkable and beautiful event. Of course we look forward with great expectation to another visit to Mary's House where I promise you our prayers for your intentions.

Immediately after the Mass we head over to France to visit the Daughters of Charity in Paris. We hope to share many bits of good news with them and beg their continued prayer and support.

November has us at a large Marian Conference on Long Island called "A Day With Mary" where we will again be sharing with all these Children of Mary about one of Mother Mary's favorite daughters, our beloved Sister Marie.

Please keep all these efforts in your prayers. Sister Marie, pray for us.
