The Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico attracts around 250,000 visitors annually due to the supposed miracle of its staircase. When the chapel was completed in the 19th century, it lacked a staircase to access the second level. After 9 days of prayer, a stranger arrived offering to build one without payment. He constructed an intricately carved wooden staircase without nails or a central support beam, which engineers still cannot explain, and then disappeared. There are three mysteries surrounding the staircase: the builder's identity remains unknown, its structural support has never been solved, and the type of wood used was not local. The staircase contains 33 steps, matching the age of Jesus at his crucifixion, fueling belief

The National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is located at the Baclaran Church in Manila. It is a rather modern Church and technically does not fit into the ‘mold’ of what we consider an Old and Historic Church. It was consecrated in 1958. It’s status as a National Shrine merits it consideration in our studies.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
1. City of Santa Fé, in New Mexico, USA. A mystery of over 130 years and attracting around 250 thousand visitors every year. Point of attention : Loretto Chapel
2. What makes this chapel different from all others is that the subject of the supposed miracle that took place in it is a Staircase
3. A chapel was constructed somewhere in hte 19 th century. When it was ready, the nuns found that there was no staircase built to take them to the top level
4. They spent 9 days praying to St. Joseph, who was a carpenter.
5. On the last day, a stranger knocked at their door and said that he was a carpenter who could help them build the staircase.
6. He constructed the staircase, all by himself, which was considered to be the pride of carpentery.
7. None knew how the staircase could stand by itself as it did not have a central support.
8. Then the carpenter, who did not use a single nail or glue to construct this staircase, disappeared without even waiting for his payment.
9. There was a rumour in the city of Santa Fé, that the carpenter was St. Joseph himself ...
10. ...sent by Jesus Christ to attend to the nuns’ problem. Since then, the staircase was known to be called “miraculous” and turned out to be the site for pilgrimage.
11. There are 3 mysteries in this case, says the spokesman of the chapel : the 1 st mystery is that, until today, the identity of this man is not known.
12. The second mystery – all the architects, engineers and scientists say that they cannot understand how this staircase can balance without any central support.
13. And the 3 rd mystery – from where did the wood come? They have checked and found out that the type of wood used to build the staircase does not exist in the entire region
14. There is another detail that has just increased the belief in the supposed miracle : The staircase has 33 steps, the age of Jesus Christ. M. Gallo
