I can only thank the good Lord that he introduced me to this circle of blessings…
Through the daily blessing, morning and evening for all my dear acquaintances, relatives and friends, the power of blessing has unfolded more and more within me. I have experienced this so often in all those years. … The laypeople are also given the power to bless by God . It is important for them to know that, depending on the attitude of their heart and their outlook towards the Almighty, this power of blessing has a stronger or weaker effect.
May the circle of blessing continue to spread so that this gift of God may permeate all the layers in which people find themselves. (Father Chr.M., Switzerland / April 1995)
I have remained faithful to this idea of blessing and have gladly adopted the meditative thoughts of the spiritual leaders for personal meditation…
So we priests can only thank you for the service that she (Mrs. Krause) has given to the church and to us priests in the church. (Fr. F.Sp., Arnsberg / April 1995)
The Marian Circle of Blessings has brought many blessings to the world and encouraged many people to become blessers. (Father Chr.St., Meschede / April 1995)
It is a joyful thought for me to know that I am in a large group of blessers, where the blessing passes from one to another. (M.K.)
When laypeople bless each other, it sometimes feels almost like a miracle when a grumpy, surly person, after we have been blessing them for a while, suddenly transforms. How much more could a priest’s blessing achieve then. (M.S., CH-Gossau / March 1972)
Thanks to the MBC, blessing has become second nature to me and it is not only good for me. (P.L., Switzerland / May 2021)
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for being accepted into the MBC. I gladly pass on the blessing daily… At 12 o’clock, I also bless the entire world. (H.S., Münster / September 2021)
With great joy, I have received the Marian newsletter again and would like to express my heartfelt thanks for the uplifting thoughts on blessing. … Especially in this crisis and the war in Ukraine, our prayers of blessing must be intensified and representatively act for our country and the Ukrainians. In trust in God’s mercy and the intercession of Mary , I join the circle of blessing. (Sr. A.F / April 2022)
It is very comforting as a priest to know that we priests, who are connected with the Marian Blessing Circle, are supported in prayer by many people. Thank you for your efforts and sacrifices for us priests. Despite human weakness, the priest remains the tool of grace for God’s people. He has the mission to celebrate the Eucharist, which is the center of our lives, as Pope Benedict XVI said at the World Youth Day in Cologne, and thus, picked up on the Second Vatican Council, which affirmed that ‘the Eucharistic sacrifice is the source and the summit of the entire Christian life.’ (Abbé Claude / April 2022)
I have made it my task to go out in front of the door for a short time in the evening when I come from the chapel and to sprinkle holy water in all directions. I ask Jesus to bless our city, our neighbors, the sick, those who most need his mercy, and those who do good to us for his sake. I also linger briefly with the Mother of God , take her hands in mine, and ask for her blessing.
You are all included! (Sr. Pacifica, Japan / November 2022)
