MariniThere is absolutely NO reliably sourced news on Mons. Mainni and while I understand your concern for him, it is best to say nothing at the moment. Monsignor is wise to remain quiet and obedient in his present circumstance. Please keep praying for him.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00419516065899508757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702382876668711798.post-19597876567119351462013-03-09T22:09:00.001+01:002013-03-16T22:08:09.943+01:00Monsignor Guido Marini: March 16 2013I have just checked my stats and they are showing that posts featuring Mons. Guido Marini are proving the most widely viewed on the Oasis and have been, er well, since doubt has been cast on his continued role as Maestro of Papal Liturgy.<br />
<br />
I understand from this that many of you share my concern about his future and are praying for him. He is in great need of spiritual support. Thank you for your prayers. Please keep them up.<br />
<br />
When I can get my act together, I hope to publish a proper tribute to him here.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This had been my intention, at least until 8pm on Thursday evening when the Swiss Guard shut the gate at Castel Gandolfo and the Vatican Gendarmerie took on the responsibility for the security of our beloved former Pope.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I cannot pinpoint the moment when I decided to continue.Suffice to say that I will continue it with changes to the front page as soon as they can be arranged. My apologies for the lateness of this post but my disablement caused by recent stroke is so far unimproved. I pray daily for a restoration of former capabilities. In the meantime I intend to post here once a week</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With my prayers for all of you</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Until the next time,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">God bless all here,</span><br />

Scans showed that unknown to me, I have suffered several minor strokes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Permanent medication has been prescribed to avoid the situation getting worse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I will not be blogging during this period of initial recovery and adjustment to necessary changes in my life style. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you all for your readership in the past, and for your prayers for which I am even more grateful and indebted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, have a fruitful and Holy Lent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Until The Annunciation, when I hope to be well enough to post again. </span><br />
