The Jump Mary's Meals Fundraiser Spring 2009 Gaming Austria

[DrMannette]

And7Rus Deacon Terasiy you are correct about the holiness of the Kartauserholler and the beauty of the mountains .  I am a Doctor of Sacred Theology and taught at the Kartausa for 2 years. Weiked a pilgrimage to Mariezelle, the holy Shrine to Mary of the Cell, where Pope Benedict XVI came in 2007. We were there for his visit. You will like to know that there is a beautiful Eastern Right Chapel in the Kartausa in which the Holy Liturgy is celebrated regularly.

Everymorning we were coming to this stream Mitterraubach in the Slavonic Alpen village Gaming (centuries ago Yamnic or earlier Yamnica) with prayer and calm and modest baths of cold waters from Otscher. Even in winter us joined holy angels of our Most Holy Trinity and prayers of monks of Kartauserholle of Swarzberg (Karthausian monastery of Black-mount nearby). Now it is a Nature-park and path to the pilgrimage to Holy Theotokos Mary.

Thanks to everyone at Gaming who supports Mary's Meals through donations, prayers or even jumping in freezing cold rivers! You are all wonderful!

You are most welcome. The little stream is high and cold this time of year as it comes from snow melt from the Otscher and surrounding mountains where the snow is still 3-4 feet deep and the ski runs still open.

Thanks for giving us a little video of one of my favorite priests on SQPN "Catholic Under the Hood" podcaster!
