To the places where someone is waiting for a sign, a word of encouragement, or even just a faint ray of hope.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"599\">In recent weeks, more and more reports have come in about where these special stones have been found:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"934\">\n<li data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"657\">\n<p data-start=\"602\" data-end=\"657\">In Tagyon, at the foot of the statue of Saint Anthony<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"702\">\n<p data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"702\">In Bodajk, at the famous pilgrimage site<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"761\">\n<p data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"761\">In the Koloska Valley, on the \u201cLittle Jesus Star Path\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"934\">\n<p data-start=\"764\" data-end=\"934\">In T\u00e1pi\u00f3gy\u00f6rgye, in the garden of Saint Anne\u2019s Church<br data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"820\" \/>And now even in France: one has been discovered in the Cathedral of Reims, and another near Notre Dame in Paris.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1114\">Perhaps the most moving message came from Budapest, from the chapel of the National Institute of Oncology. A pilgrim placed one of the stones there, along with these few lines:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1479\">\u201cThis morning, my mother and I placed the B\u00f3di M\u00e1ria Magdolna traveler\u2019s stone shown in the picture in front of the chapel of the National Institute of Oncology.<br data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1282\" \/>We thank whoever finds it for helping it continue its journey!<br data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1349\" \/>Thanks be to God, the test results have come back negative!<br data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1413\" \/>We give thanks to and ask for the intercession of Magdi B\u00f3di!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1593\">A small stone \u2013 and yet so much can be held within it: faith, hope, petition, gratitude, healing, consolation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1941\">Whoever finds or places a traveler\u2019s stone becomes part of a silent chain of prayer. This network now embraces not only the Carpathian Basin but stretches far beyond \u2013 carrying the imprint of Magdi\u2019s love and her faithfulness to Christ, reminding us again and again: there is meaning in fidelity, in goodness, in the sacrifices of quiet heroes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"2075\">If you find a stone, or if you place one somewhere \u2013 pause for a moment. Pray. Give thanks. Ask. And know this: you are not alone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2145\">Join the journey: <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1034583831738095\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2143\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1034583831738095<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the initiative of the Archdiocese of Veszpr\u00e9m, the B\u00f3di M\u00e1ria Magdolna \u201ctraveler\u2019s stones\u201d were launched \u2013 not merely as keepsakes, but as \n<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/the-stones-of-gratitude\/\"> <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2093"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2095,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093\/revisions\/2095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
