Thousands came to hear the testimony of popular radio host Kevin Matthews and to participate in a candlelight procession accompanied by Our Lady of the Broken.
Kevin Mathews delivered a moving testimony in St. John Cantius Church about his discovery of a shattered statue abandoned near a dumpster. This discovery would mark a turning point in his life, which itself was broken and in need of repair.
Following the testimony, the faithful gathered for a mile and a half procession from the Church to the Water Tower. Publicly praying the rosary, the faithful arrived at the Tower and concluded the night with prayers, the crowing of the Broken Mary statue, and a prayer of consecration to Our Lady composed by Pope Pius XII.
May Our Lady of the Broken intercede for us who are broken and in need of God's love and mercy to restore us and may there be peace in our lives, our families, and our homeland!

In testimony delivered today, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill stood up on behalf of Missouri’s soybean and biodiesel workers and producers—which support more than 17,000 jobs in Missouri—against unfair foreign trade practices before the government agency that decides whether American companies have been harmed.
“These workers, and my state’s economy, are being harmed by the hundreds of millions of gallons of Argentinian and Indonesian biodiesel that is unfairly being dumped into the United States,” McCaskill testified before the International Trade Commission. “The biodiesel and the soybeans we’re talking about today aren’t just products of commerce—they represent jobs for folks in my state. And when those jobs are threatened by unfair trade practices on the part of a foreign competitor, I’m not just going to sit by, and neither should you.”
The biodiesel market in Missouri supports more than 8,000 jobs. The soybean industry has created 3,000 direct jobs and 6,400 indirect jobs in Missouri, and adds $1.7 billion in economic benefits to the state. McCaskill testified that Missouri workers and businesses have been harmed by the hundreds of millions of gallons of Argentinian and Indonesian biodiesel that are unfairly being dumped into the U.S. markets.
The state of Missouri is the third-largest producer of biodiesel and a major producer of soybeans. There are six active biodiesel plants in Missouri, with a combined capacity of 235 million gallons. These plants, and their related crushing facilities, are located in towns like Deerfield, St. Joseph, Moberly, and Mexico and support hundreds of jobs in rural Missouri.
McCaskill is a longtime advocate for Missouri workers and businesses against unfair trade practices. Last year, after urging from McCaskill on behalf of Missouri manufacturers Bull Moose Tube Company and EXLTUBE, the International Trade Commission voted to level the playing field for Missouri and U.S. manufacturers by finalizing duties against foreign steel pipe and tubing producers found to be illegally dumping in the international market.
McCaskill has also testified on behalf of die-casting companies in Palmyra, Mexico, and Perryville fighting against unfair magnesium tariffs benefiting Chinese and Russian importers, as well as for a steel-wheels company in Sedalia in support of their case against Chinese government subsidies on foreign products. These companies employed more than 1,300 Missourians combined.

Gospel Movies "Waiting" | Hear the Voice of God and Welcome the Lord
Yang Hou'en was a pastor at a house church in China. He had vigilantly awaited the Lord Jesus to descend from the clouds and take him up into the kingdom of heaven. For this, he diligently worked for the Lord, held fast to His name, and believed that anyone who is not the Lord Jesus descending from the clouds is a false Christ. And so, when he heard the news of the Lord's second coming, he refused to investigate it…. While he waited passively, his cousin Li Jiayin presented him with the gospel of the Lord Jesus' return. After some intense discussions, Yang Hou'en finally understood the true meaning of ""watch and wait,"" and could see that Almighty God is the second coming of the Lord Jesus that he had waited for so many years...

"...then the DNR got involved...blah, blah, blah". The trench was a pre-existing channel partially re-opened after removing lawn debri, grass, cut logs, stones, excess RipRap that had all been placed in the outlet and on streambed.

Victorian glass in the lower south transept window, starkly spread in a jagged formation across the middle of three otherwise clear-glazed lights. They are of course collected pieces from windows shattered by the wartime bombing of the city and as such are a vivid testimony to the Blitz. Most of this glass (possibly by A.Gibbs) originates from other windows in the church as the traceries above retain their prewar glass, evidently by Burlison & Grylls, and only one of the heads amongst the fragments appears to relate to this. Probably also from this window, but currently in storage, are three panels of decorative patchworks, apparently also by Burlison & Grylls but incorporating a substantial amount of medieval glass, likely to be the only remains of the church's ancient glazing. The parish hopes to have these panels put back on display at some point in the future.
St John's sits at the entrance to Spon Street, that rare enclave of medieval architecture in Coventry's mostly post-war city centre. Being on the fringe of city's heart it generally gets less attention from visitors, thus one feels that in any other setting it would be far more celebrated, George Gilbert Scott, who restored the church in 1877, considered it 'one of the most beautiful churches in England'. The church luckily escaped major damage in the November 1940 Blitz that destroyed so much else in the city, beyond the loss of much (but not all) of it's Victorian stained glass.
The church was founded in 1342 by Queen Isabella, mother of Edward III, but most of what we see today is 15th century work, though evidently of different phases. The church sits on a relatively small site, but what it lacks in length and width it gains in height, and with it's tapering and unusually narrow clerestorey windows and central tower it gives the impression of a cathedral in miniature. The tower has oddly corbelled-out turrets at it's corners, an over-exaggeration of the original design by Scott; his main intervention on the exterior otherwise was the renewal of much of the stonework, since warm red sandstone is one of the least resistant to weathering.
The interior is surprisingly light for a sandstone church, the result of the large Perpendicular windows and extensive clerestorey that creates a 'glass cage' effect in the higher parts of the church. It is also rather narrow, which accentuates the proportions and sense of height further, a good example of architectural limitations and constraints turned to an advantage. There are some good medieval carvings surviving higher up, but otherwise aside from the fine Perpendicular architecture itself the impression is largely of early 20th century High Church Anglican worship, as most of the furnishings appear to date from this time, though they are nonetheless attractive and sympathetic to the building.
The lack of any relics of the Middle Ages in wood or glass or monuments of later periods is explained by the history of the church, since it actually ceased to be used for worship in the 1590s and for several centuries suffered various indignities of secular use, such as a prison for Scottish rebels captured after the Battle of Preston during the Civil War in 1648 (these rebels, loyal to the King, were shunned in the Parliamentarian held city, thus the phrase being 'Sent to Coventry' was born!). Other uses included as a stables, a market and a winding and dying house for cloth, before being eventually restored to church use in the 19th century. We should at least be glad that being put to other uses at least preserved the structure through it's centuries of hibernation.
The church posesses an interesting mixture of stained glass, from Victorian and Edwardian pieces that survived the bombing, to the more prominent and colourful windows installed in the 1950s. However it is interesting to note how the postwar glass here predates the nearby Cathedral's windows by only a few years, but is still highly figurative and traditional in approach, thus still a far cry from the revolutionary new works that Coventry became famous for less than a decade later.
St John's is open on saturday mornings but otherwise kept locked owing to concerns over security. Sadly it has suffered attacks from stone-throwing idiots on several occasions in recent years (I have repaired minor damage to several of the windows here) but the parishoners remain welcoming and friendly in spite of a difficult environment. It is a lovely church and well worth a visit.
