spirituality in the Gregorian
institute in Rome had anecdotes
of moments in which he had to
act to establish the veracity of
various apparitions around the
world.
One of these was the event in Kibeho.
He recounted the cultural aspects
which Mother Mary adopted, and how
these varied, according too the
local faithful.
There can be no doubt about the
love which the Mother of God
disposes towards her many children
as she often refers to them, about
the globe.
Catholics the world over can glean
much from her in many different
appearances.
A very charismatic figure in many
ways, Fr Bob passed away in March 2022.
