* June 20 - Milo, monk from the Abbey of Saint-Amand: Poet, hagiographer, musician and illuminator (d. 872)   * Bringing the Virgin Mary to the top ten --- An initiative of the Association Mary of Nazareth  June 20 - Milo, monk from the Abbey of Saint-Amand: Poet, hagiographer, musician and illuminator (d. 872)   Bringing the Virgin Mary to the top ten Inside his Parisian apartment there is a large collection of souvenirs, especially on his desk—photos of himself with the singer Dalida whose press agent he was for three years. There are also two LP records he made in his youth under the name of Guazzi Manual; and dozens of photos with other celebrities... Then, in the center of the room, there is a plastic bottle shaped like the Virgin Mary, filled with holy water. "I've never shared this in public, but one day when I was young, I was immersed in a healing pool at Lourdes. And it really changed my life. All of a sudden, while I was filled with complexes—thinking I was too tall, too shy, and withdrawn—I was cured." These words come from Max Guazzini, the man responsible for the success of NRJ (“energy”) Radio (France) and the French rugby Stadium. Guazzini recently released a CD of sacred music entitled "Songs of Mary." On the album cover he wrote, "It is good to turn to Mary in these times when the Christians of the Middle East and elsewhere are being persecuted." The man who brought the dancers of the Moulin Rouge in Paris onto the field of the Stade de France, gave himself a new mission: bring the Virgin Mary to the top ten! www.leparisien.fr Let’s pray together  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
