Marian Helper Spring 2015

‘How we heard the call’ Deacon Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC: I heard the words: “Join the Marians.” I looked to see who said those words, and I saw no one but Jesus in the monstrance. I had my direct answer, but I still needed to see what I was getting myself into. I later found out I was joining a family united by Jesus and Mary. That was — and still is — enough for me. Marian Helper Martha: God picked us. He made us out of love. He didn’t ask us whether we wanted to be created. Now, He wants us to love back. There’s no explaining it. So, when God tells you to do something, you just do it! It’s not a conversation; it’s an order. God told me to support the Marians. God bless the Marians and their work of saving souls. Write: Fr.
