With certain fear that this may turn out to be an autobiography, let me relate how Radio Maria started in the Philippines During the years of my theology studies in rome between the years 1994 and 1997, I had often heard of the existence of Radio Maria. I happen to first listen to Radio Maria when I visited one family who happen to be joining the Liturgy of the Hours being prayed on-air. I never thought then that I would be part of the vast family of Radio Maria.
