Papal Notes - Mary "Love Affair"

Watch Stephen Bohr Sermon on the CULT of MARY

"Pope Francis today heads across Rome to put the traditional
crown on the statue of the Virgin Mary in the Piazza di Spagna for the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a reminder not only of his personal devotion to Mary but a broad papal love affair across centuries.
Maintaining a tradition that began in 1953, Pope Francis today will head to the Piazza Mignanelli, towards the south-east extension of the recently-renovated Spanish Steps, where the Column of the Immaculate Conception stands tall.
Once there, surrounded by thousands of locals and curious bystanders, the pope will bless a crown of flowers that will be hung around the right arm of the image of the Virgin by the head of the Italian fire department, who’ll use the ladder of a fire truck to get up there.
Traditionally, the bouquet has the Latin motto “Flammas domamus, donamus Corda,” which in English means, “We stop fires, giving our hearts.”
A second flower arrangement, with the “SPQR” label, will be placed on the bottom of the statue, that has been in this square since 1857, three years after Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.
SPQR” are the initials of the Latin expression Senatus Populusque Romanus, which dates back to the time of the Roman empire, and which in English translates to, “the Roman Senate and People.”
CRUX
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
