Cardinal Burke


This past Saturday we went to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in LaCrosse to attend Mass being given by Raymond Cardinal Burke what excitement! Cardinal Burke is responsible for the inception of the Shrine, which is a place we have been several times now and just love it he is also responsible for bring the Institute of Christ the King to the United States and it's first home and headquater's was in Cashton, WI! But where was my camera when we stood in line to meet the Cardinal at home and where was my camera phone when we finally made it to the front of the line to present ourselves to the Cardinal in the truck... and Steve phone in the truck! Good work Jess, what amazing pictures we could have had kneeling before the Cardinal as he blessed our family or the picture of when asked the girls their names and the best picture of all would have been the one of when he patted Steve on the cheek as though it was a friendly huge when Steve told him that we recently moved to Cashton, Wisconsin to be part of the Latin Mass Community of the Institute of Christ the King. Yes that was my favorite moment I was so humbled, I was speechless. What a holy man, what a saint it just radiated from him and we have been so bless to be in his presence and meet this man who will most likely be voting for the next Pope or perhaps could be the next Pope! WOW this was big for us!!

My famiy usually makes a trip up to the Shrine for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe! This is the first year we've skipped. We're praying for Cardinal Burke; he is such a holy man!
