It was Saint John Paul II who said: "I want to go to Marseille! That's where the evangelization of Europe began." Thanks to the tradition of the saints of Provence, including St Mary Magdalen, St Lazarus, St Martha, the Saint Marys of the Sea, Sarah, the holy bishops Maximin, Trophimus and Sidonius, today we can visit the religious and cultural sites that gave birth to Christianity in Provence and then in all of France. In this time of Pentecost, the apostles of the first evangelization invite us to pray with Our Lady of the Sea to bring about the new Pentecost of love on the world, prophesied by several popes and by Marthe Robin. hozana.org Let’s pray together  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.   .
