I have found Fr Edwards' book "Plots and Plotters..." of great interest and use in my researches. He was a great historian and challenged many of the establishment's entrenched views on the Elizabethan period. His books on the Gunpowder Plot prove beyond any doubt that the plot was largely a concoction of Robert Cecil and his henchmen. Fr Edwards will be sadly missed. I will pray for his soul.

Christopher Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:52:13 +0000 http://www.esbvm.org.uk/2009/09/esbvm-usa-held-meeting-in-upstate-new-york/#comment-8 I would very much welcome a model for developing a "Day of Reflection and prayer on Mary"! I would love to attend such an event and to be trained to lead one. I commend this noble endeavor very highly and think it would be very popular for Quiet Days and mini-retreats especially during Advent when many Protestants are more open to hearing something about Mary. I have long been an admirer of the Society and am ready to become a member. Please, please do pursue this excellent idea. In Jesus and Mary, Br.
