Innsbruck to Munich and Marianplatz Munich



Well it poured rain yesterday - our travel day from Innsbruck to Munich and we re supposed to have rain for all three days in Munich.  No so!   Today is a beautiful sunny day.

Leaving Innsbruck in the rain

Munich Tuesday - a perfect sunny day.
The the Bürgersaalkirche where Fr Rupert Mayer S.J. is buried.  He served time in isolation and in concentration camps for preaching against Hitler.  He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in Munich in 1987 We arrived for noon Mass at this church today.  He is buried in the lower church and there was a steady stream of people venerating his grave. He died of a stroke while celebrating Mass on All Saints Day 1945.
