Similarly, many people throughout the world have a special, heart-deep affection for the largest city in the world named for the Saint.

Somewhat ironically, back in 1996, promoters of the City circulated some bumper stickers with the phrase "Puro San Antonio," accompanied by a heart. What was rather interesting is that the bumper stickers, no matter how inadvertently, alluded to the phrase "Immaculate Heart," given that "Puro" (ie, "purely," or "pure"), can be another way of saying "immaculate." Perhaps this is merely putting a bunch of loose connections together, on my (Giles Babb's) part, that have no business going together; nevertheless, it was kind of interesting, and potentially (no matter how inadvertently) prophetic

Is there a special meaning, concerning the City and Archdiocese of San Antonio, in the message of June 13, 1917?? Do the City and Archdiocese have an important appointment with destiny w/r the spread of the devotion to the Immaculate Heart??

Even so, are we as yet up to this task??

Below are some pages at Eingedi that suggest both promise and peril.
