Although winter often holds us back from setting out, and the weather is not always kind, even in this season there are those who receive a special grace: they find a travelling stone of Blessed Bódi Mária Magdolna. These small signs are still on the move—quietly, yet eloquently.
In recent weeks, Magdi’s travelling stones have appeared in Badacsonytördemic, Badacsonytomaj, Győr along the Rába riverbank, and in Budapest at the WestEnd Shopping Center. Those who found them shared with joy what a surprise and inner happiness this encounter brought—many had long hoped that one day they, too, would come upon a stone.
The travelling stones are not merely keepsakes. They are points of encounter—with Magdi’s life and witness, with her faith, and with the simple yet profound message that God still speaks to us today in the midst of everyday life. A stone in the pocket, a message in the hand—and a quiet inner dialogue can begin: a prayer, a moment of stillness.
Those who find a travelling stone are invited not to “keep” it, but to pass it on. And of course, if someone does find one, they are encouraged to take a photo and share it in the Bódi Mária Magdolna Travelling Stones Facebook group. Just as Magdi’s life became a gift for others, so too do these stones become bearers of hope, faith, and trust. Placed in a new location, they will speak to a new person—perhaps precisely when it is needed most.
The journey of the travelling stones reminds us that grace is not bound to any season. It finds us even in winter, even when we least expect it. And as Magdi’s life teaches us, through the smallest things God can prepare great gifts for us.
Blessed Bódi Mária Magdolna, continue to accompany us on our way!
