Scamb. p. 2, c. 8) relates that there was a certain poor shepherdess, whose sole delight was to go to a little chapel of our Blessed Lady, situated on a mountain, and there, whilst her flocks were browsing, she conversed with her dear Mother and rendered honor to her. Seeing that the little image of Mary (which was carved in relief) was unadorned, she set to work to make her a mantle. One day, having gathered a few flowers in the fields, she made a garland, and climbing on the altar of the little chapel, placed it on the head of the image, saying, "My Mother, I would place a crown of gold and precious stones on thy brow, but, as I am poor, receive this crown of flowers, and accept it as a mark of the love that I bear thee." With this and other acts of homage, the pious maiden always endeavored to serve and honor our beloved Lady. But let us now see how the good Mother on her part recompensed the visits and the affection of her child. The latter fell ill, and was at the point of death. It so happened that two religious were passing that way, and, fatigued with their journey, sat down under a tree to rest: one fell asleep, and the other remained awake; but both had the same vision. They saw a multitude of most beautiful young women, and amongst these was one who in beauty and majesty far surpassed them all. One of the religious addressed himself to her: "Lady, who art thou, and where art thou going by these rugged ways?" "I am," she replied, "the Mother of God, and am going with these holy virgins to a neighboring cottage to visit a dying shepherdess who has so often visited me." Having said these words, all disappeared. At once these two good servants of God said, "Let us go also to see her." They immediately started, and having found the cottage of the dying virgin, they entered it and found her stretched on a little straw. They saluted her, and she said, "Brothers, ask our Lord to let you see the company that is assisting me." They immediately knelt, and saw Mary by the side of the dying girl, holding a crown in her hand and consoling her. All at once the virgins began to sing, and at the sound of this sweet harmony her blessed soul left her body. Mary placed the crown on her head, and taking her soul, led it with her to Paradise.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">-Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, The Glories of Mary, Ch. 1, Part III</span><br /><br /><a href="http://oratefratres1962.blogspot.com/2017/05/novena-to-our-lady-of-fatima.html"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Prayers for each day. </span></b></a><br /><br /> <br />Servus Immaculataehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16768140167710622688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790257825416815734.post-25688214915615780242017-05-06T21:44:00.004-04:002017-05-06T21:44:33.384-04:00Novena to our Lady of Fatima - Day 8<div style="text-align: justify;">

(The Roman Missal) Ave Maria…<br /><br />O God, Who dost every year gladden us by the solemn memorial of thine Apostles Philip and James, grant us grace, we beseech thee, not only to rejoice because of their worthy deeds, but also to tread in their footsteps. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.<br /><br /><b>Meditation –</b><br /><br /><i>Excerpted from Pope Leo XIII’s Encyclical: Diuturni Temporis of 5 September 1898</i><br /><br />We have long desired to secure the welfare of the human race in an increase of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, as in a powerful citadel, and We have never ceased to encourage the constant use of the Rosary among Christians, by publishing every year since September 1, 1883, an Encyclical Letter on this subject, besides frequently issuing Decrees, as is well known. And now, since God in His merciful Providence has this year again allowed Us to see the approach of the month of October, which We have already consecrated to our Heavenly Queen under the title of the Rosary, We would not refrain from again addressing you; but summarizing in a few words all that we have hitherto done for the promotion of his form of prayer, We will crown our work by yet a new document, in which Our earnest desire and zeal for this form of devotion to Mary may appear still more clearly, and the fervour of the faithful may be stimulated to the devout and constant use of this pious practice.<br /><br />Impelled, therefore, by a constant desire that Christians should ever be convinced of the efficacy and dignity of the Rosary of Our Lady, We first of all pointed out that the origin of this form of prayer is divine rather than human, showing it to be an admirable garland woven from the Angelic Salutation, together with the Lord’s Prayer, joined to meditation, and that this form of prayer was most powerful and particularly efficacious for attaining eternal life. For besides the special excellence of the prayers, it affords a powerful protection to faith and conspicuous models of virtue in the mysteries proposed for contemplation. We showed also how easy the devotion is and how suited to the people, offering an absolutely perfect model of domestic life in meditation on the Holy Family at Nazareth, and that therefore Christendom had never failed to experience its salutary effects.<br /><br />For these reasons We have ever repeatedly encouraged the recitation of the Holy Rosary, and have endeavoured to increase its dignity by a more solemn cult, following in this the footsteps of our predecessors. Pope Sixtus V., of happy memory, approved the ancient custom of reciting the Rosary; Gregory XIII dedicated a day under this title, which Clement VIII. afterwards inscribed in the martyrology, and Clement XI extended to the Universal Church. Benedict XIII inserted the feast in the Roman Breviary, and We, ourselves, in perpetual testimony of Our affection for this devotion commanded that the solemnity with its office should be celebrated in the Universal Church as a double of the second class, consecrating to this devotion the entire month of October. Finally we ordered the addition to the Litany of Loreto of the invocation “Queen of the most Holy Rosary,” as an augury of victory in our present warfare.<br /><br /><a href="http://oratefratres1962.blogspot.com/2017/05/novena-to-our-lady-of-fatima.html">Prayers for each day.</a></span></div>

Amen.<br /><br />(Prayer of Saint Francis Xavier for the Conversion of Infidels [app. Blessed Pope Pius IX, May 18, 1848])<br />Æterne rerum omnium effector DEUS, memento abs te animas infidelium procreatas, easque ad imaginem et similitudinem tuam conditas. Ecce, DOMINE, in opprobrium tuum his ipsis infernus impletur. Memento JESUM FILIUM tuum pro illorum salute atrocissimam subiisse necem. Noli, quaeso, DOMINE, ultra permittere, ut FILIUS tuus ab infidelibus contemnatur; sed precibus sanctorum virorum et Ecclesiae sanctissimi FILII tui Sponsae placatus, recordare misericordiae tuae, et oblitus idololatriae et infidelitatis eorum, effice ut ipsi quoque agnoscant aliquando quern misisti DOMINUM JESUM CHRISTUM, qui est salus, vita, et resurrectio nostra; per quem salvati et liberati sumus: cui sit gloria per infinita saecula saeculorum. Amen.<br /><br /><b>Meditation –</b><br /><br />Taken from the Readings in the Divine Office for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception<br /><br />From the Sermons of St Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem - On the Assumption<br /><br />Who and what was the blessed and glorious Mary, always a Virgin, hath been revealed by God by the message of an Angel, in these words, Hail, thou that art full of grace, the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among women. It was fitting that a fulness of grace should be poured into that Virgin who hath given to God glory and to man a Saviour, who hath brought peace to earth, who hath given faith to the Gentiles, who hath killed sin, who hath given law to life, who hath made the crooked ways straight. Verily, she is full of grace. To others grace cometh measure by measure; in Mary grace dwelleth at once in all fulness. Verily, she is full of grace. We believe that the holy Fathers and Prophets had grace; but they were not full of grace. But into Mary came a fulness of all the grace which is in Christ, albeit otherwise (than as it is in Him.) Therefore is it said Blessed art thou among women, that is, Blessed art thou above all women. The fulness of blessing in Mary utterly neutralized in her any effects of the curse of Eve. In her praise Solomon writeth in the Song of Songs (2:10) Rise up, my dove, my fair one, for the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. And again, Come from Lebanon, my Spouse, come, thou shalt be crowned. (SofS 4:8)<br /><br />Not unjustly then is she bidden to come from' Lebanon, for Lebanon is so named on account of its stainless and glistening whiteness. The earthly Lebanon is white with snow, but the lonely heights of Mary's holiness are white with purity and grace, brilliantly fair, whiter far than snow, sparkling with the gifts of the Holy Ghost she is undefiled like a dove, all clean, all upright, full of grace and truth. She is full of mercy, and of the righteousness that hath looked down from heaven, and therefore is she without stain because in her hath never been any corruption. She hath compassed a man in her womb, saith holy Jeremiah, but she conceived not by the will of fallen man. The Lord, saith the Prophet, hath created a new thing in the earth; a woman shall compass a man. (31:22) Verily, it is a new thing. Verily, it was a new work of power, greater than all other works, when God, Whom the world cannot bear, and Whom no man shall see and live, entered the lodging of her womb, breaking not the blissful cloister of her virgin flesh. And in her body He was borne, the Infinite inclosed within her womb. And from her womb He came forth, so that it was fulfilled which was spoken of the Prophet Ezekiel, saying, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. (44:2) Hence also in the Song of Songs it is said of her (4:12) A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse, a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed, thy perfumes are a garden of delights. Verily a garden of delights, filled with the perfumes of all flowers, rich with the sweet savour of grace. And the most holy Virgin herself is a garden enclosed, whereinto sin and Satan have never entered to sully the blossoms, a fountain sealed, sealed with the seal of the Trinity.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://oratefratres1962.blogspot.com/2017/05/novena-to-our-lady-of-fatima.html">Prayers for each day.</a></b></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“We must do everything in Mary. To understand this we must realize that the Blessed Virgin is the true earthly paradise of the new Adam and that the ancient paradise was only a symbol of her. There are in this earthly paradise untold riches, beauties, rarities and delights, which the new Adam, Jesus Christ, has left there. It is in this paradise that he "took his delights" for nine months, worked his wonders and displayed his riches with the magnificence of God himself. This most holy place consists of only virgin and immaculate soil from which the new Adam was formed with neither spot nor stain by the operation of the Holy Spirit who dwells there. In this earthly paradise grows the real Tree of Life which bore our Lord, the fruit of Life, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which bore the Light of the world.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">“In this divine place there are trees planted by the hand of God and watered by his divine unction which have borne and continue to bear fruit that is pleasing to him. There are flower-beds studded with a variety of beautiful flowers of virtue, diffusing a fragrance which delights even the angels. Here there are meadows verdant with hope, impregnable towers of fortitude, enchanting mansions of confidence and many other delights.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">“Only the Holy Spirit can teach us the truths that these material objects symbolise. In this place the air is perfectly pure. There is no night but only the brilliant day of the sacred humanity, the resplendent, spotless sun of the Divinity, the blazing furnace of love, melting all the base metal thrown into it and changing it into gold. There the river of humility gushes forth from the soil, divides into four branches and irrigates the whole of this enchanted place. These branches are the four cardinal virtues.”</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://oratefratres1962.blogspot.com/2017/05/novena-to-our-lady-of-fatima.html"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Prayers for each day.</span></b></a><br />

Ave Maria…<br /><b><br />Pray of Pope Leo XIII to Saint Michael the Archangel<br />(Mot. Pr. September 25, 1888)</b><br /><br />O glorious Archangel St Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, be our defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, spirits of evil. Come to the aid of man, whom God created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of his Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity. These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered. Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring- help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.<br /><br />V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.<br />R. The Lion of the tribe of Juda has conquered, the root of David.<br />V. Let thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.<br />R. As we have hoped in thee.<br />V. O Lord, hear my prayer.<br />R. And let my cry come unto thee.<br /><br />Let us pray.<br />O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon thy holy name, and as suppliants we implore thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious Archangel St Michael, thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all other unclean spirits, who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.<br /><br /><b>Meditation –</b><br /><br />Taken from The Secret of the Rosary, by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort...<br /><br />The learned Franciscan, Carthagena, as well as several other authors, says that an extraordinary event took place in 1482. The venerable Fr. James Sprenger and the religious of his order were zealously working to re-establish devotion to the Rosary and its Confraternity in the city of Cologne. Unfortunately, two priests who were famous for their preaching ability were jealous of the great influence they were exerting through preaching the Rosary. These two Fathers spoke against this devotion whenever they had a chance, and as they were very eloquent and had a great reputation, they persuaded many people not to join the Confraternity. One of them, the better to achieve his wicked end, wrote a special sermon against the Rosary and planned to give it the following Sunday. But when the time came for the sermon he did not appear and, after a certain amount of waiting, someone went to fetch him. He was found to be dead, and he had evidently died without anyone to help him.<br /><br />After persuading himself that this death was due to natural causes, the other priest decided to carry out his friend’s plan and give a similar sermon on another day, hoping to put an end to the Confraternity of the Rosary. However, when the day came for him to preach and it was time to give the sermon, God punished him by striking him down with paralysis which deprived him of the use of his limbs and of his power of speech.<br /><br />At last he admitted his fault and that of his friend and in his heart he silently besought our Lady to help him. He promised that if only she would cure him, he would preach the Rosary with as much zeal as that with which he had formerly fought against it. For this end he implored her to restore his health and his speech, which she did, and finding himself instantaneously cured he rose up like another Saul, a persecutor turned defender of the holy Rosary. He publicly acknowledged his former error and ever afterwards preached the wonders of the Rosary with great zeal and eloquence.<br /><br /><a href="http://oratefratres1962.blogspot.com/2017/05/novena-to-our-lady-of-fatima.html"><b>Prayers for each day.</b></a></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></h4>

<b>Prayers-</b><br />
<br />
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I
offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ,
present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages,
sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended.<span> </span>And through the infinite merit of His Most
Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of
poor sinners. </span></span></div>

<b>Meditation –</b><br />
<br />
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span>Taken from True Devotion to the
Blessed Virgin by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort, #175-6</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Mary
is the Virgin most faithful who by her fidelity to God makes good the losses
caused by Eve’s unfaithfulness. She obtains fidelity to God and final
perseverance for those who commit themselves to her. For this reason St. John
Damascene compared her to a firm anchor which holds them fast and saves them
from shipwreck in the raging seas of the world where so many people perish
through lack of such a firm anchor. “We fasten souls,” he said, “to Mary, our
hope, as to a firm anchor.” It was to Mary that the saints who attained
salvation most firmly anchored themselves as did others who wanted to ensure
their perseverance in holiness.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Blessed,
indeed, are those Christians who bind themselves faithfully and completely to
her as to a secure anchor! The violent storms of the world will not make them
founder or carry away their heavenly riches. Blessed are those who enter into
her as into another Noah’s ark! The flood waters of sin which engulf so many
will not harm them because, as the Church makes Mary say in the words of divine
Wisdom, “Those who work with my help – for their salvation – shall not sin.”
Blessed are the unfaithful children of unhappy Eve who commit themselves to
Mary, the ever-faithful Virgin and Mother who never wavers in her fidelity and
never goes back on her trust. She always loves those who love her, not only
with deep affection, but with a love that is active and generous. By an
abundant outpouring of grace she keeps them from relaxing their effort in the
practice of virtue or falling by the wayside through loss of divine grace.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Moved
by pure love, this good Mother always accepts whatever is given her in trust,
and, once she accepts something, she binds herself in justice by a contract of
trusteeship to keep it safe. Is not someone to whom I entrust the sum of a
thousand francs obliged to keep it safe for me so that if it were lost through
his negligence he would be responsible for it in strict justice? But nothing we
entrust to the faithful Virgin will ever be lost through her negligence. Heaven
and earth would pass away sooner than Mary would neglect or betray those who
trusted in her. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Hail,
Mary, full of grace, holier than the Saints, higher than the heavens, more
glorious than the Cherubim, more honourable than the Seraphim, and the most
worshipful thing that the hands of God have made. Hail, O dove, bearing in thy
beak the olive-branch of peace that telleth us of salvation from the spiritual
flood (Gen. 8:10), O dove, blessed omen of a safe harbour, whose wings are of
silver, and thy feathers of gold, shining in the bright beams of the Most Holy
and Light-giving Spirit. (Ps. 67:14) Hail, thou living garden of Eden, planted
towards the East by the right hand of the Most Merciful and Mighty God, wherein
do grow to His glory rich lilies and unfading roses, for the healing of them
that have drunk in death from the blighting and pestilential breezes of the
bitter West, Gen. ii. 8, 9; Eden, wherein hath sprung that Tree of life,
Whereof if any man eat he shall live for ever. (Gen. 2:9; 3:22; John 6:52)
Hail, stately Palace of the King, most holy, stainless, purest, House of the
Most High God, adorned with His Royal splendour, open to all, filled with
Kingly dainties; Palace wherein is that spiritual bridal chamber, not made with
hands, nor hung with divers colours, in the which the Eternal Word, when He
would raise up fallen man, wedded flesh unto Himself, that He might reconcile
unto the Father them who had cast themselves away.</span></span></div>

O rich and shady Mountain of God, whereon pastured the True Lamb, Who hath
taken away our sins and infirmities (Hab. 3:3; Isa. 53:4; John 1:29), mountain,
whereout hath been cut without hands that Stone which hath smitten the altars
of the idols, and become the head-stone of the corner, marvellous in our eyes.
(Dan. 2:34; Ps. 117:22, 23) Hail, thou holy Throne of God, thou divinest
store-house, thou temple of glory, thou bright crown, thou chosen treasure,
thou mercy-seat for the whole world, thou heaven declaring the glory of God.
(Ps. 18:2) Hail, thou vessel of pure gold, made to hold the manna that came
down from heaven, the sweet food of our souls, even Christ. (Ex. 16:33; Heb.
9;4; John 6:49-51). Hail, O purest Virgin, most praiseworthy and most
worshipful, hallowed treasury for the wants of all creatures; thou art the
untitled earth, the unploughed field; thou art the vine full of flowers, the
well overflowing with waters, Maiden and Mother; thou art the Mother that knew
not a man, the hidden treasure of guilelessness, and the clear, bright star of
holiness; by thy most acceptable prayers, strong from thy motherly mouth,
obtain for all estates of men in the Church that they may continually tend unto
Him Who is the Lord, and God, and Maker of thee, and of them, and of all, but
of thee the Son also, conceived without man's intervention; obtain this, O
Mother, pilot them to the harbour of peace.</span></span></div>

dominion, more than in purple, or fine gold, or pearls, or precious stones; thine
be it to put under their feet the unfaithful nations, nations that blaspheme
thee, and the God That was born of thee; thine be it to keep in meek obedience
the people that are under them, according to the commandment of God. Behold,
this is thine own city, which hath thee for her towers and her foundations,
crown her with victory, gird the house of God with strength, keep undefiled the
loveliness of His tabernacles, as for them that praise thy name, be thou their
deliverer from strife and bitterness of spirit. Free thou the prisoner, protect
the wanderer, and if there be any that hath no refuge, be thou to him a
consolation. Stretch forth thine hand and help the whole earth so shall we year
by year keep this and all thy feasts, and at last be found with thee in Christ
Jesus, Who is Lord of all, and verily our God. To Him, with the Holy Father,
Who is the Fountain of Life, and the coeternal Spirit, Three Persons and One
Substance, even as there is one Kingdom, be glory and strength, now and for
ever. Amen.<br />

“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new
efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no
problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all
spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot
be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how
difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
(Ven. Sister Maria Lucía of the Immaculate Heart of Mary O.C.D.)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>“Father
Bovio (Es. E. Mir. p. 1, es. 2) relates that there was a wicked woman, named,
Ellen, who entered a church, and by chance heard a sermon on the Rosary. On
leaving the church she purchased a set of beads, but wore them concealed, as
she did not wish it to be known that she had them. She began to recite them,
and though she did so without devotion, our most Blessed Lady poured such
sweetness and consolation into her soul during the whole time, that she could
not cease repeating the Hail Marys. At last she was filled with such a horror
for her wicked life, that she could no longer find repose, and was obliged to
go to confession. She accomplished this duty with such contrition that the
priest was filled with astonishment. After her confession, she went to the foot
of an altar of the most Blessed Virgin, and there, as a thanksgiving to her
advocate, said the Rosary. The divine mother then addressed her from the image
in the following words: “Ellen, thou has already too much offended God and me;
from this moment change your life, and I will bestow a large share of my graces
upon thee.” The poor sinner, in the deepest confusion, replied: “Ah! most Holy
Virgin, it is true that hitherto I have been a wicked sinner; but thou canst do
all, help me; on my part I abandon myself to thee, and will spend the remainder
of my life in doing penance for my sins.” With the assistance of Mary, she
distributed all her goods among the poor, and began a life of rigorous mortification.
She was tormented with dreadful temptations, but constantly recommended herself
to the Mother of God, and thus was always victorious. She was favored with many
extraordinary graces, with visions, revelations, and even the gift of prophecy.
Finally, before her death, which was announced to her by Mary some days before
it took place, the most Blessed Virgin came herself, with her divine Son, to
visit her; and when she expired, her soul was seen flying towards heaven in the
form of a beautiful dove.” (Saint Alphonsus Maria de Ligouri, The Glories of
Mary)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And,
behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the same man
was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. The birth of the
Lord is attested not only by Angels and Prophets, and shepherds, but also by
elders and just men. Every age, and both sexes, as well as the miracles of the
events themselves, are here to strengthen our faith. A virgin conceiveth, a
barren woman beareth, a dumb man speaketh, Elizabeth prophesieth, the wise man
worshippeth, the unborn child leapeth, the widow praiseth, and the just man
waiteth.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well
is he called just, who looked not for favour for himself, but for consolation
for his people. He desired to be set free from the bondage of this frail body,
but he waited to see the Promised One for he knew that blessed are the eyes
that see Him. Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said Lord,
now lettest Thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. Behold a
just man, confined in the weary prison of the body, desiring to be dissolved
and to begin to be with Christ. For to be dissolved and to be with Christ is
much better. Phil. i. 23.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Whosoever
will be dissolved and be with Christ, let him come into the Temple, let him
come to Jerusalem, let him wait for the Lord's Christ, let him take hold on the
Word of God, let him embrace it with good works, as it were with arms of faith
and then let him depart in peace, for he shall not see death, who hath seen
life. Behold how the Lord's Birth doth overflow with abounding grace for all,
and prophecy is not denied to the just, but to the unbelieving. Behold, Simeon
prophesieth that the Lord Jesus Christ is come for the fall and rising again of
many yea, He shall separate the just from the unjust by their deserts, and
according as our work shall be, so shall the true and righteous Judge command
us to be punished or rewarded.</span></div>

Conception</u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ah, my Immaculate Lady! I rejoice with thee on seeing thee enriched
with so great purity. I thank, and,
resolve always to thank, our common Creator for having preserved thee from
every stain of sin; and I firmly believe this doctrine, and am prepared and
swear even to lay down my life, should this be necessary, in defense of this
thy so great and singular privilege of being conceived immaculate. I would that the whole world knew thee and
acknowledged thee as being that beautiful "Dawn" which was always illumined
with divine light; as that chosen "Ark" of salvation, free from the
common shipwreck of sin; that perfect and immaculate "Dove" which thy
divine Spouse declared thee to be; that "enclosed Garden" which was
the delight of God; that "sealed Fountain" whose waters were never
troubled by an enemy; and finally, as that "white Lily," which thou
art, and who, though born in the midst of the thorns of the children of Adam,
all of whom are conceived in sin, and the enemies of God, wast alone conceived
pure and spotless, and in all things the beloved of thy Creator. Permit me, then, to praise thee also as thy
God himself has praised thee: Thou art
all fair, and there is not a spot in thee (Cant. 4:7). O most pure Dove, all fair, all beautiful,
always the friend of God. O how
beautiful art thou, my beloved! How beautiful art thou! (Cant. 4:1). Ah, most sweet, most amiable, immaculate
Mary, thou who art so beautiful in the eyes of thy Lord,—ah, disdain not to
cast thy compassionate eyes on the wounds of my soul, loathsome as they
are. Behold me, pity me, heal me. O beautiful loadstone of hearts, draw also my
miserable heart to thyself. O thou, who
from the first moment of thy life didst appear pure and beautiful before God,
pity me, who not only was born in sin, but have again since baptism stained my
soul with crimes. What grace will God
ever refuse thee, who chose thee for his daughter, his Mother, and Spouse, and
therefore preserved thee from every stain, and in his love preferred thee to
all other creatures? I will say, in the
words of St. Philip Neri, "Immaculate Virgin, thou hast to save
me." Grant that I may always
remember thee; and thou, do thou never forget me. The happy day, when I shall go to behold thy
beauty in Paradise, seems a thousand years off; so much do I long to praise and
love thee more than I can now do, my Mother, my Queen, my beloved, most
beautiful, most sweet, most pure, Immaculate Mary. Amen.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Prayer of Saint Louis Marie de Montfort to Our Lady</u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hail Mary, beloved Daughter of
the Eternal Father. Hail Mary, admirable Mother of the Son. Hail Mary, faithful
Spouse of the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary, my Mother, my loving Mistress, my powerful
sovereign. Hail, my joy, my glory, my heart and my soul. Thou art all mine by
mercy, and I am thine by justice. But I am not yet sufficiently thine. I now
give myself wholly to thee without keeping anything back for myself or others.
If thou seest anything in me which does not belong to thee, I beseech thee to
take it and make thyself the absolute Mistress of all that is mine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Destroy in me all that may
displease God; root it up and bring it to nought. Place and cultivate in me
everything that is pleasing to thee. May the light of thy faith dispel the
darkness of my mind. May thy profound humility take the place of my pride; may
thy sublime contemplation check the distractions of my wandering imagination.
May the continuous sight of God fill my memory with His Presence; may the
burning love of thy heart inflame the lukewarmness of mine. May thy virtues
take the place of my sins; may thy merits be my only adornment in the sight of
God and make up for all that is wanting in me. Finally, dearly beloved Mother,
grant, if it be possible, that I may have no other spirit but thine to know
Jesus, and His Divine Will; that I may have no other soul but think to praise
and glorify God; that I may have no other heart but thine to love God with a
love as pure and ardent as thine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do not ask thee for visions,
revelations, sensible devotions, or spiritual pleasures. It is thy privilege to
see God clearly, it is thy privilege to enjoy heavenly bliss; it is thy
privilege to triumph gloriously in heaven at the right hand of thy Son and to
hold absolute sway over angels, men, and demons.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is thy privilege to dispose of
all the gifts of God, just as thou willest. Such, O heavenly Mary, the 'best
part', which the Lord has given thee, and which shall never be taken away from
thee--and this thought fills my heart with joy. As for my part here below, I
wish for no other than that which was thine, to believe sincerely without
spiritual pleasures, to suffer joyfully without human consolation, to die
continually to myself without respite, and to work zealously and unselfishly
for thee until death, as the humblest of thy servants. The only grace I beg
thee, for me, is that every moment of the day, and every moment of my life, I
may say, "Amen, so be it, to all that thou art doing in heaven. Amen, so
be it, to all thou didst do while on earth. Amen, so be it, to all thou art doing
in my soul," so that thou alone mayest fully glorify Jesus in me for time
and eternity. Amen.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most Holy Virgin, who has
deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures
of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with
sincere love of this devotion. By meditating on the mysteries of our redemption
that are recalled in your Rosary, may we gather the fruits contained therein
and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, the Peace of
Christ for the world, and this favor that I so earnestly seek of you in this
novena. (here mention your request) I ask this of you, for the greater glory of
God, for your own honor and for the good of all people. Amen</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Day of Feast: May 13th - Feast of Our Lady of Fatima<br /><br />Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><span style="font-size: large;">O
Virgin Mary, most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and earth,
in accordance with your wish made known at Fatima, I consecrate myself
today to your Immaculate Heart. To you I entrust all that I have, all
that I am. Reign over me, dearest Mother, that I may be yours in
prosperity, in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in
sickness, in life and in death.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most compassionate Heart of
Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over my mind and heart and preserve me
from the deluge of impurity which you lamented so sorrowfully at Fatima.
I want to be pure like you. I want to atone for the many crimes
committed against Jesus and you. I want to call down upon this country
and the whole world the peace of God in justice and charity.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mindful
of this consecration, I now promise to strive to imitate you by the
practice of the Christian virtues without regard for human respect. I
resolve to receive Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month
when possible, and to offer daily five decades of the Rosary, with all
my sacrifices in the spirit of penance and reparation. Amen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I,
. . ., a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy Heart, O
Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his
pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the
Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life,
and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Queen
of the Most Holy Rosary, in the presence of all the heavenly court, I
choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and
consecrate to thee, and to thy Immaculate Heart, as thy child and slave
of love, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and
even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving
to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that
belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for
the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.</span><br />

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">At that time There
stood by the Cross of Jesus His Mother, and His Mother’s sister, Mary (the
wife) of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. And so on. (John 19:25-27)</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There stood by the Cross His Mother. Men had forsaken Him,
but she stood there fearless. Behold how the Mother of Jesus could break
through her shrinking modesty, but could not belie her heart. With the eyes of
a mother’s love she gazed upon the Wounds of her Son, those Wounds through
Which she knew that redemption for all mankind was flowing. The Mother, who
feared not the executioners, was able to endure the sight of their work. Her
Son was hanging upon the Cross, and she braved His tormentors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mary, the Mother of the Lord, stood by the Cross of her Son.
My only informant of this fact is the holy Evangelist John. Others have written
that when the Lord suffered, the earth quaked, the heavens were veiled in
darkness, the sun was hidden, and the thief received, after a good confession,
the promise of Paradise. John hath taught us what the others have not taught
us. Upon the Cross He called her Mother. It is reckoned (by John) a greater
thing that in the moment of triumph over agony, He should have discharged the
watchful duty of a Son to His Mother, than that He should have made gift of the
kingdom of heaven. For if it be a sacred thing to have forgiven the thief, this
so great kindness of the Son to the Mother is to be worshipped as the outcome
of a tenderer and more touching love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God and
keep it. How nobly doth the Saviour say Yea to the woman’s blessing, declaring
also that not only is she blessed who was meet to give bodily birth to the Word
of God, but that all they who spiritually conceive the same Word by the hearing
of faith, and, by keeping it through good works, bring it forth and, as it
were, carefully nurse it, in their own hearts, and in the hearts of their
neighbours, are also blessed. Yea, and that the very Mother of God herself was
blessed in being for a while the handmaid of the Word of God made Flesh, but
that she was much more blessed in this, that through her love she keepeth Him
for ever.</div>

My afflicted mother, I will not leave thee alone to weep;
no, I wish to keep thee company with my tears. This grace I ask of thee to-day:
obtain for me a continual remembrance of the passion of Jesus, and of thine
also, and a tender devotion to them, that all the remaining days of my life may
be spent in weeping for thy sorrows, oh my mother, and for those of my
Redeemer, I hope that these dolors will give me the confidence and strength not
to despair at the hour of my death, at the sight of the offences I have
committed against my Lord. By these must I obtain pardon, perseverance,
paradise, where I hope to rejoice with thee, and sing the infinite mercy of my
God through all eternity: thus I hope, thus may it be. Amen, amen.</div>

The burial of the body of Jesus</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mary, clinging to her Son, was dissolved in grief; but those
holy disciples, fearing lest this poor mother would expire there through agony,
went to take the body of her Son from her arms, to bear it away for burial.
Therefore, with reverential force they took him from her arms, and having
embalmed him, wrapped him in a linen cloth already prepared, upon which our
Lord wished to leave to the world his image impressed, as may be seen at the
present day in Turin. And now they bear him to the sepulchre. The sorrowful
funeral train sets forth; the disciples place him on their shoulders; hosts of
angels from heaven accompany him; those holy women follow him; and the
afflicted mother follows in their company her Son to the grave. When they had
reached the appointed place, how gladly would Mary have buried her self there
alive with her Son! "Oh how willingly," said the Virgin to St.
Bridget, "would I have remained there alive with my Son, if it had been
his will!" But since this was not the divine will, the authors relate that
she herself accompanied the sacred body of Jesus into the sepulchre, where, as
Baronius narrates, they deposited the nails and the crown of thorns. In raising
the stone to close the sepulchre, the disciples of the Saviour had to turn to
the Virgin, and say to her: Now, oh Lady, we must close the sepulchre; have
patience, look upon thy Son, and take leave of him for the last time. Then, oh
my beloved Son, must the afflicted mother have said, then shall I see thee no
more? Receive then, this last time that I look upon thee, receive the last
farewell from me thy deaf mother, and receive my heart which I leave buried
with thee. The Virgin, says St. Fulgentius, earnestly desired that her soul
should be buried with the body of Christ. And Mary herself made this revelation
to St, Bridget: "I can truly say, that at the burial of my Son, one
sepulchre contained as it were two hearts."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, they take the stone and close up in the holy
sepulchre the body of Jesus, that great treasure, greater than any in heaven
and on earth. And here let us remark, that Mary left her heart buried with
Jesus, because Jesus was all her treasure: "Where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also." And where shall we keep our hearts buried ? With
creatures ? In the mire ? And why not with Jesus, who, although he has ascended
to heaven, has wished to remain, not dead but alive, in the most holy sacrament
of the altar, precisely in order that he may have with him and possess our
hearts ? But let us return to Mary. Before quitting the sepulchre, according to
St. Bonaventure, she blessed that sacred stone, saying: Oh happy stone, that
doth now inclose that body which was contained nine months in my womb, I bless
thee, and envy thee; I leave thee to guard my Son for me, who is my only good,
my only love. And then turning to the eternal Father, she said: Oh Father, to
thee I recommend him, who is thy Son and mine; and thus bidding a last farewell
to her Son, and to the sepulchre, she returned to her own house. This poor
mother went away so afflicted and sad, according to St. Bernard, that she moved
many to tears even against their will: "Multos etiam invitos ad lacrymas provocabat;"
so that wherever she passed, all wept who met her: "Omnes plorabant qui
obviabant ei," and could not restrain their tears. And he adds, that those
holy disciples, and the women who accompanied her, mourned for her even more than
for their Lord.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The afflicted mother, still fearing that other injuries
might be inflicted on her Son, entreats Joseph of Arimathea to obtain from
Pilate the body of her Jesus, that at least after his death she may be able to
guard it and protect it from injuries. Joseph went to Pilate, and made known to
him the sorrow and the wish of this afflicted mother; and St. Anselrn thinks
that com passion for the mother softened the heart of Pilate, and moved him to
grant her the body. of the Saviour. And now Jesus is taken from the cross. Oh
most holy Virgin, after thou with so great love hadst given thy Son to the
world for our salvation, behold the world returns him to thee again! But oh, my
God, how dost thou return him to me? said Mary to the world. My Son was white
and ruddy: "Dilectus meus candidus et rubicundus:" but thou hast
returned him to me blackened with bruises, and red, not with a ruddy color, but
with the wounds thou hast inflicted upon him; he was beautiful, now there is no
more beauty in him; he is all deformity. All were enamored with his aspect, now
he excites horror in all who look upon him. Oh, how many swords, says St.
Bonaventure, pierced the soul of this mother, when she received the body of her
Son after it was taken from the cross: " O quot gladii animam matris
pertransierunt!" Let us consider what anguish it would cause any mother to
receive the lifeless body of a son! it was revealed to St. Bridget, that to
take down the body of Jesus, three ladders were placed against the cross. Those
holy disciples first drew out the nails from the hands and feet, and according
to Metaphrastes, gave them in charge to Mary. Then one supported the upper part
of the body of Jesus, the other the lower, and thus took it down from the
cross. Bernardino de Bustis describes the afflicted mother as raising herself,
and extending her arms to meet her dear Son; she embraces him, and then sits
down at the foot of the cross. She sees his mouth open, his eye shut, she
examines the lacerated flesh, and those exposed bones; she takes off the crown,
and sees the cruel injury made by those thorns, in that sacred head; she looks
upon those pierced hands and feet, and says: Ah, my Son, to what has the love
thou didst bear to men reduced thee ! But what evil hath thou done to them,
that they have treated thee so cruelly Thou wast my Father, Bernardino de
Bustis imagines her to say, my brother, my spouse, my delight, my glory, my
all. Oh, my Son, behold how I am afflicted, look upon me and console me; but
thou dost look upon me no more. Speak, speak to me but one word, and console
me; but thou dost speak no more, for thou art dead. Then turning to those
barbarous instruments, she said: Oh cruel thorns, oh nails, oh merciless spear,
how could you thus torture your Creator? But what thorns, what nails? Alas!
sinners, she exclaimed, it is you who have thus cruelly treated my Son.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Thus Mary spoke and complained of us. But if now she were
capable of suffering, what would she say? What grief would she feel to see that
men after the death of her Son, continue to torment and crucify him by their
sins? Let us no longer give pain to this sorrowful mother; and if we also have
hither to grieved her by our sins, let us now do what she directs. She says to
us: Return, ye transgressors, to the heart: "Redite, prsevaricatores, ad
cor." Sinners, return to the wounded heart of my Jesus; return as penitents,
for he will receive you. Flee from him to him, she continues to say with
Guerric the Abbot; from the Judge to the Redeemer, from the tribunal to the
cross. The Virgin herself revealed to St. Bridget that she closed the eyes of
her Son, when he was taken down from the cross, but she could not close his
arms: "Ejus brachia flectere non potui." Jesus Christ giving us to
understand by this, that he desired to remain with open arms to receive all
penitent sinners who return to him. Oh world, continues Mary, behold, then, thy
time is the time of lovers: "Et ecce, tempus tuum, tempus aman din."!
Now that ray Son, oh world, has died to save thee, this is no longer for thee a
time of fear, but of love: a time to love him who has desired to suffer so much
in order to show thee the love he bore thee. Therefore, says St. Bernard, is
the heart of Jesus wounded that, through the visible wound, the invisible wound
of love may be seen. If then, concludes Mary, in the words of the Abbot of
Celles, my Son had wished his side to be opened that he might give thee his
heart, it is right, oh man, that thou shouldst give him thy heart. And if you
wish, oh children of Mary, to find a place in the heart of Jesus without fear
of being cast out, go, says Ubertino of Casale, go with Mary, for she will

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ah, mother, the most afflicted of all mothers, thy Son,
then, is dead; thy Son so amiable, and who loved thee so much! Weep, for thou
hast reason to weep. Who can ever console thee? Nothing can console thee but
the thought that Jesus, by his death, hath conquered hell, hath opened paradise
which was closed to men, and hath gained so many souls. From that throne of the
cross he was to reign over so many hearts, which, conquered by his love, would
serve him with love. Do not disdain, oh my mother, to keep me near to weep with
thee, for I have more reason than thou to weep for the offences that I have
committed against thy Son. Ah, mother of mercy, I hope for pardon and my
eternal salvation, first through the death of my Redeemer, and then through the
merits of thy dolors. Amen.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Fifth Dolor - Of
the death of Jesus</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As soon as our afflicted Redeemer had ascended the hill of
Calvary, the executioners stripped him of his garments, and piercing his sacred
hands and feet with nails, not sharp, but blunt: "Non acutis, sed
obtusis;" as St. Bernard says, and to torture him more, they fastened him
to the cross. When they had crucified him, they planted the cross, and thus
left him to die. The executioners abandon him, but Mary does not abandon him.
She then draws nearer to the cross, in order to assist at his death. "I
did not leave him," thus the blessed Virgin revealed to St. Bridget,
"and stood nearer to his cross. " But what did it avail, oh Lady,
says St. Bonaventure, to go to Calvary to witness there the death of this Son?
Shame should have prevented thee, for his disgrace was also thine, because thou
wast his mother; or, at least, the horror of such a crime as that of seeing a
God crucified by his own creatures, should have prevented thee. But the saint
himself answers: Thy heart did not consider the horror, but the suffering:
"Non considerabat cor tuum horrorem, sed dolorem." Ah, thy heart did
not then care for its own sorrow, but for the suffering and death of thy dear
Son; and therefore thou thyself didst wish to be near him, at least to
compassionate him. Ah, true mother! says William the Abbot, loving mother! for
not even the terror of death could separate thee from thy beloved Son. But, oh
God, what a spectacle of sorrow, to see this Son then in agony upon the cross,
and under the crosi this mother in agony, who was suffering all the pain that
her Son was suffering! Behold the words in which Mary revealed to St. Bridget
the pitiable state of her dying Son, as she saw him on the cross: "My dear
Jesus was on the cross in grief and in agony; his eyes were sunken, half
closed, and lifeless; the lips hanging, and the mouth open; the cheeks hollow,
and attached to the teeth; the face lengthened, the nose sharp, the countenance
sad; the head had fallen upon his breast, the hair black with blood, the
stomach collapsed, the arms and legs stiff, and the whole body covered with
wounds and blood."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mary also suffered all these pains of Jesus. Every torture
inflicted on the body of Jesus, says St. Jerome, was a wound in the heart of
the mother. Any one of us who should then have been on Mount Calvary, would
have seen two altars, says St. John Chrysostom, on which two great sacrifices
were consummating, one in the body of Jesus, the other in the heart of Mary.
But rather would I see there, with St. Bonaventure, one altar only, namely, the
cross alone of the Son, on which, with the victim, this divine Lamb, the mother
also was sacrificed. Therefore the saint interrogates her in these words: Oh
Lady, where art thou? Near the cross? Nay, on the cross, thou art crucified
with thy Son. St. Augustine also says the same thing: The cross and nails of
the Son were also the cross and nails of the mother; Christ being crucified,
the mother was also crucified. Yes, because, as St. Bernard says, love
inflicted on the heart of Mary the same suffering that the nails caused in the
body of Jesus. Therefore, at the same time that the Son was sacrificing his
body, the mother, as St. Bernardino says, was sacrificing her soul.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">St. Bernardine says,
that to form an idea of the grief of Mary in losing her Jesus by death, it is
necessary to consider the love that this mother bore to this her Son. All
mothers feel the sufferings of their children as their own. Hence the woman of
Chanaan, when she prayed the Saviour to deliver her daughter from the devil
that tormented her, said to him, that he should have pity on the mother rather
than on the daughter: "Have mercy on me, oh Lord, thou son of David, my
daughter is grievously troubled by a devil." But that mother ever loved a
child so much as Mary loved Jesus? He was her only child, reared amidst so many
troubles and pains; a most amiable child, and most loving to his mother; a Son,
who was at the same time her Son and her God; who came on earth to kindle in
the hearts of all the holy fire of divine love, as he himself declared: "I
am come to cast fire on the earth, and what will I but that it be
kindled?" Let us consider how he must have inflamed that pure heart of his
holy mother, so free from every earthly affection. In a word, the blessed
Virgin herself said to St. Bridget, that through love her heart and tie heart
of her Son was one: "Urmm erat cor meum, et cor filii mei." That
blending of hand maid and mother, of Son and God, kindled in the heart of Mary
afire composed of a thousand flames. But afterwards, at the time of the
passion, this flame of love was changed into a sea of sorrow. Hence St.
Bernardino says: All the sorrows of the world united would not be equal to the
sorrow of the glorious Mary. Yes, because this mother, as St. Lawrence
Justinian writes: The more tenderly she loved, was the more deeply wounded. The
greater the tenderness with which she loved him, the greater was her grief at
the sight of his sufferings, especially when she met her Son, after he had
already been condemned, going to death at the place of punishment, bearing the
cross. And this is the fourth sword of sorrow which to-day we have to consider.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The mother wished to
embrace him, as St. Anselm says, but the officers of justice thrust her aside,
loading her with insults, and urge onward our afflicted Lord. Mary follows. Ah,
holy Virgin, where art thou going? To Calvary ! And canst thou trust thyself to
see him who is thy life hanging from a cross? And thy life shall be as it were
hanging before thee: "Et erit vita tua quasi pendens ante te." Ah! my
mother, stop, says St. Lawrence Justinian, as if the Son himself had then
spoken to her; where dost thou hasten? Where art thou going? If thou comest
where I go, thou wilt be tortured with my sufferings, and I with thine. But
although the sight of her dying Jesus must cost her such cruel anguish, the
loving Mary will not leave him. The Son goes before, and the mother follows,
that she may be crucified with her Son, as William the Abbot says: The mother
took up her cross, and followed him, that she might be crucified with him. We
even pity the wild beasts: "Ferarum etiam miseremur;" as St. John
Chrysostom has said. If we should see a lioness following her whelp as he was
led to death, even this wild beast would call forth our compassion. And shall
we not feel compassion to see Mary following her im maculate Lamb, as they are
leading him to death ? Let us then pity her, and endeavor also ourselves to
accompany her Son and herself, bearing with patience the cross which the Lord
imposes upon us. Why did Jesus Christ, asks St. John Chrysostom, desire to be
alone in his other sufferings, but in bearing the cross wished to be helped by
the Cyrenean ? And he answers: That thou mayest understand that the cross of
Christ is not sufficient without thine. The cross alone of Jesus is not enough
to save us, if we do not bear with resignation also our own, even unto death.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Oh blessed Virgin, why art thou afflicted, seeking thy lost
Son? Is it because thou dost not know where he is? But dost thou not know that
he is in thy heart? Dost thou not see that he is feeding among the lilies? Thou
thyself hast said it: "My beloved to me and I to him who feedeth among the
lilies." These, thy humble, pure, and holy thoughts and affections, are
all lilies, that invite the divine spouse to dwell with thee. Ah, Mary, dost
thou sigh after Jesus, thou who lovest none but Jesus? Leave sighing to me and
so many other sinners who do not love him, and who have lost him by offending
him. My most amiable mother, if through my fault thy Son hast not yet returned
to my soul, wilt thou obtain for me that I may find him. I know well that he
allows himself to be found by all who seek him: The Lord is good to the soul
that seeketh him: " Bonus est Dominus . . . animse quaerenti ilium."
Make me to seek him as I ought to seek him. Thou art the gate through which all
find Jesus; through the I too hope to find him.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Third Dolor - Of
the loss of Jesus in the temple</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the second chapter of St. Luke we read that the blessed
Virgin, being accustomed to visit the temple every year at the paschal season,
with Joseph her spouse and Jesus, once went when he was about twelve years old,
and Jesus remained in Jerusalem, though she was not aware of it for she thought
he was in company with others. When she reached Nazareth she inquired for her
Son, and not finding him there, she returned immediately to Jerusalem to seek
him, but did not succeed until after three days. Now let us imagine what
distress that afflicted mother must have experienced in those three days in
which she was searching everywhere for her Son, with the spouse in the
Canticles : "Have you seen him whom my soul loveth?" But she could
hear no tidings of him. Oh, with how much greater tenderness must Mary,
overcome with fatigue, and yet not having found her be loved Son, have repeated
those words of Ruben, concerning his brother Joseph: The boy doth not appear,
and whither shall I go? "Puer non comparet, et ego quo ibo ?" My
Jesus doth not appear, and I know not what to do that I may find him; but where
shall I go without my treasure? Weeping continually, she repeated during these
three days with David: "My tears have been my bread day and night, whilst
it is said to me daily, Where is thy God ? Wherefore Pelbart with reason says,
that during those nights the afflicted mother had no rest, but wept and prayed
without ceasing to God, that he would enable her to find her Son. And,
according to St. Bernard, often during that time did she repeat to her Son
himself the words of the spouse: "Show me where thou feedest, where thou
liest in the mid-day, lest I begin to wander. My Son, tell me where thou art,
that I may no longer wander, seeking thee in vain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some writers assert, and not without reason, that this dolor
was not only one of the greatest, but that it was the greatest and most painful
of all. For in the first place, Mary in her other dolors had Jesus with her;
she suffered when St. Simeon uttered the prophecy in the temple; she suffered
in the flight to Egypt, but always with Jesus; but in this dolor she suffered
at a distance from Jesus, without knowing where he was: "And the light of
my eyes itself is not with me." Thus, with tears, she then exclaimed: Ah, the
light of my eyes, my dear Jesus, is no more with me; he is far from me, I know
not where he is! Origen says, that though the love which this holy mother bore
her Son, she suffered more at this loss of Jesus than any martyr ever suffered
at death. Ah, how long: were these three days for Mary! they appeared three
ages. Very bitter days, for there was none to comfort her. And who, she
exclaimed with Jeremias, who can console me if he who could console me is far
from me? and therefore my eyes are not satisfied with weeping : "Therefore
do I weep, and my eyes run down with water, because the comforter is far from
me." And with Tobias she repeated: "What manner of joy shall be to me
who sit in darkness, and see not the light of heaven?"</div>

serve as a comfort to those souls who are desolate and do not enjoy the sweet
presence they once enjoyed of their Lord. They may weep, but let them weep in
peace, as Mary wept in the absence of her Son. Let them take courage, and not
fear that on this account they have lost the divine favor, for God himself said
to St. Theresa: "No one is lost without knowing it; and no one is deceived
without wishing to be deceived." If the Lord departs from the sight of
that soul who loves him, he does not therefore depart from the heart. He often
hides himself that she may seek him with greater desire and love. But those who
would find Jesus must seek him, not amid the delights and pleasures of the
world, but amid crosses and mortifications, as Mary sought him: We sought thee
sorrowing, as she said to her Son: "Dolentes quasrebamus te." Learn
from Mary to seek Jesus, says Origen "Disce a Maria quaerere Jesum."</span><br />

Then, oh Mary, even after thy Son hath died by the hands of
men who persecuted him unto death, have not these ungrateful men yet ceased
from persecuting him with their sins, and continuing to afflict thee, oh mother
of sorrows ? And I also, oh God, have been one of these. Ah, my most sweet
mother, obtain for me tears to weep for such ingratitude. And then, by the
sufferings thou didst experience in the journey to Egypt, assist me in the
journey that I am making to eternity, that at length I may go to unite with
thee in loving my persecuted Saviour, in the country of the blessed. Amen.</div>

Every one can imagine how much Mary must have suffered on
this journey. It was a long distance to Egypt. Authors generally agree with
Barrada that it was four hundred miles; so that at least it was a journey of
thirty days. The way, as St. Bonaventure describes it, was rough, unknown,
through woods, and little frequented. The season was winter, and therefore they
had to travel in snow, rain, wind, and storms, and through bad and difficult
roads. Mary was then fifteen years of age, a delicate virgin, unaccustomed to
such journeys. They had no servant to attend them. Joseph and Mary, said St.
Peter Chrysologus, had no man servant nor maid-servant; they were themselves
both masters and servants. Oh God, how piteous a spectacle it was to see that
tender Virgin, with that newly born infant in her arms wandering through this
world! St. Bonaventure asks, Where did they obtain food? Where did they rest at
night? How were they lodged ? What other food could they have, than a piece of
hard bread which Joseph brought with him or begged in charity? Where could they
have slept (particularly in the two hundred miles of desert through which they
travelled, where, as authors relate, there were neither houses nor inns) except
on the sand, or under some tree in the wood, in the open air, exposed to
robbers, or those wild beasts with which Egypt abounded ? Ah, if any one had
met these three greatest personages of the world, what would he have believed
them to be but three poor, roving beggars?</div>

Oh my blessed mother, not one sword only, but as many swords
as I have committed sins have I added to those seven in thy heart. Ah, my Lady,
thy sorrows are not due to thee who art innocent, but to me who am guilty. But
since thou hast wished to suffer so much for me, ah, by thy merits obtain for
me great sorrow for my sins, and patience under the trials of this life, which
will always be light in comparison with my demerits, for I have often merited
hell. Amen.</div>

Saint Simeons Prophecy</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In this valley of tears, every man is born to weep, and
every one must suffer those afflictions that daily befall him. But how much
more miserable would life be, if every one knew also the future evils which are
to afflict him! Too unhappy would he be, says Seneca, whose fate was such. The
Lord exercises his compassion towards us, namely, that he does not make known
to us the crosses that await us; that if we are to suffer them, at least we may
suffer them only once. But he did not exercise this compassion with Mary, who,
because God wished her to be the queen of dolors, and in all things like his
Son, and to see always before her eyes, and to suffer continually all the
sorrows that awaited her; and those were the sufferings of the passion and
death of her beloved Jesus. For St. Simeon in the temple, after having re
ceived the divine child in his arms, predicted to her that this child was to be
the mark for all the opposition and persecution of men; "Set for a sign
which shall be contradicted;" and that therefore the sword of sorrow should
pierce her soul: "And thy own soul a sword shall pierce."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The holy Virgin herself said to St. Matilda, that at the
announcement of St. Simeon all her joy was changed into sorrow. For, as it was
revealed to St. Theresa, the blessed mother, although she knew before this that
the life of her Son would be sacrificed for the salvation of the world, yet she
then learned more particularly and distinctly the sufferings and cruel death
that awaited her poor Son. She knew that he would be contradicted in all things.
Contradicted in doctrine; for instead of being believed, he would be esteemed a
blasphemer for teaching that he was the Son of God, as the impious Caiaphas
declared him to be, saying: "He hath blasphemed, he is guilty of
death." Contradicted in his reputation, for he was noble, of royal
lineage, and was despised as a peasant: "Is not this the carpenter's
son?" "Is not this the car penter, the son of Mary?" He was
wisdom it self, and was treated as an ignorant man: "How doth this man
know letters, having never learned? As a false prophet: "And they
blindfolded him and smote his face .... saying: Prophesy who is this that
struck thee." He was treated as a madman: "He is mad, why hear you
him?" As a wine-bibber, a glutton, and a friend of sinners: "Behold a
man that is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and
sinners." As a sorcerer: "By the prince of devils he casteth out
devils." As a heretic and possessed person: "Do we not say well of
thee, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?" In a word, Jesus was
considered as so bad and notorious a man, that no trial was necessary to
condemn him, as the Jews said to Pilate: "If he were not a malefactor, we
would not have delivered him up to thee." He was contradicted in his soul,
for even his eternal Father, in order to give place to the divine justice,
contradicted him by not wishing to hear him when he prayed to him, saying:
"Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me;" and
abandoned him to fear, weariness, and sadness, so that our afflicted Lord said:
"My soul is sorrow ful even unto death." His interior suffering even
caused him to sweat blood. Contradicted and persecuted, in a word, in his body
and in his life, for he was tortured in all his sacred members: in his hands,
in his feet, in his face, and in his head, in his whole body, till, drained to
the last drop of his blood, he died an ignominious death on the cross.</div>

Oh my afflicted mother! queen of martyrs and of sorrows,
thou hast shed so many tears for thy Son, who died for my salvation, and yet
what will thy tears avail me, if I am lost? By the merits, then, of thy dolors,
obtain for me a true sorrow for my sins, and a true amendment of life, with a
perpetual and tender com passion for the passion of Jesus and thy own
sufferings. And if Jesus and thou, being so innocent, have suffered so much for
me, obtain for me that I, who am deserving of hell, may also suffer something
for love of you. O Lady, I will say to thee with St. Bonaventure, if I have
offended thee, wound my heart in punishment ; if I have served thee, now I beg
to be wounded as a reward. It is a shameful thing to see our Lord Jesus
wounded, and thee wounded with him, and I uninjured. Finally, oh my mother, by
the grief thou didst experience on seeing thy Son before thy eyes bow his head
and expire upon the cross, I entreat of thee to obtain for ine a good death.
Ah, do not cease, oh advocate of sinners, to assist my afflicted and struggling
soul in that great passage that it has to make into eternity. And, because at
that time it may easily be the case that I shall have lost the use of speech
with which to invoke thy name, and that of Jesus, who are all my hope,
therefore I now invoke thy Son and thee to succor me at that last moment, and I
say: Jesus and Mary, to you I commend my soul. Amen.</div>

Who can have a heart so hard that it will not melt on
hearing of a most lamentable event which once happened in the world? There was
a noble and holy mother who had but one only Son; and he was the most amiable
that could be imagined, innocent, virtuous, beautiful, and most loving towards
his mother; so much so, that he never had caused her the least displeasure, but
always had showed her all respect, obedience, and affection. Hence the mother
had placed on this Son all her earthly affections. Now what happened? It
happened that this Son through envy, was falsely accused by his enemies and the
judge, although he knew and confessed his innocence, yet, that he might not
offend his enemies, condemned him to an infamous death, precisely as they had
requested him to do. And this poor mother h ad to suffer the affliction of
seeing that amiable and beloved Son so unjustly taken from her, in the flower
of his age, by a barbarous death; for he was made to die in torment, drained of
his blood before her own eyes in a public place, upon an infamous gibbet.
Devout souls, what do you say? Is this case and this unhappy mother worthy of
compassion? Already you know of whom I speak. This Son so cruelly slain was our
loving Redeemer, Jesus, and his mother was the blessed Virgin Mary, who, for
love of us, was willing to see him offered up to the divine justice by the
barbarity of men. This great pain, then, which Mary suffered for us a pain
which was more than a thousand deaths merits our compassion and gratitude. And
if we can return nothing else for so much love, at least let us for a little
time to-day stop to consider the severity of the suffering by which Mary became
queen of martyrs; for her great martyrdom exceeded in suffering that of all the
martyrs, being, in the first place the longest martyrdom; and in the second
place, the greatest martyrdom.</div>

<b><u>Prayer of Saint Louis Marie de Montfort to Our Lady</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Hail Mary, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father. Hail
Mary, admirable Mother of the Son. Hail Mary, faithful Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary, my Mother, my loving Mistress, my powerful sovereign. Hail, my joy,
my glory, my heart and my soul. Thou art all mine by mercy, and I am thine by
justice. But I am not yet sufficiently thine. I now give myself wholly to thee
without keeping anything back for myself or others. If thou seest anything in
me which does not belong to thee, I beseech thee to take it and make thyself
the absolute Mistress of all that is mine.<br />
<br />
Destroy in me all that may displease God; root it up and bring it to nought.
Place and cultivate in me everything that is pleasing to thee. May the light of
thy faith dispel the darkness of my mind. May thy profound humility take the
place of my pride; may thy sublime contemplation check the distractions of my
wandering imagination. May the continuous sight of God fill my memory with His
Presence; may the burning love of thy heart inflame the lukewarmness of mine.
May thy virtues take the place of my sins; may thy merits be my only adornment
in the sight of God and make up for all that is wanting in me. Finally, dearly
beloved Mother, grant, if it be possible, that I may have no other spirit but
thine to know Jesus, and His Divine Will; that I may have no other soul but
think to praise and glorify God; that I may have no other heart but thine to
love God with a love as pure and ardent as thine.<br />
<br />
I do not ask thee for visions, revelations, sensible devotions, or spiritual
pleasures. It is thy privilege to see God clearly, it is thy privilege to enjoy
heavenly bliss; it is thy privilege to triumph gloriously in heaven at the
right hand of thy Son and to hold absolute sway over angels, men, and demons.<br />
<br />
It is thy privilege to dispose of all the gifts of God, just as thou willest.
Such, O heavenly Mary, the 'best part', which the Lord has given thee, and
which shall never be taken away from thee--and this thought fills my heart with
joy. As for my part here below, I wish for no other than that which was thine,
to believe sincerely without spiritual pleasures, to suffer joyfully without human
consolation, to die continually to myself without respite, and to work
zealously and unselfishly for thee until death, as the humblest of thy
servants. The only grace I beg thee, for me, is that every moment of the day,
and every moment of my life, I may say, "Amen, so be it, to all that thou
art doing in heaven. Amen, so be it, to all thou didst do while on earth. Amen,
so be it, to all thou art doing in my soul," so that thou alone mayest
fully glorify Jesus in me for time and eternity. Amen.</div>

O Most Holy Mother of Mount Carmel, when asked by a saint to grant privileges
to the family of Carmel, you gave assurance of your Motherly love and help to
those faithful to you and to your Son.Behold us, your children.We glory in
wearing your holy habit, which makes us members of your family of Carmel,
through which we shall have your powerful protection in life, at death and even
after death.Look down with love, O Gate of Heaven, on all those now in their
last agony!Look down graciously, O Virgin, Flower of Carmel, on all those in
need of help! Look down mercifully, O Mother of our Savior, on all those who do
not know that they are numbered among your children. Look down tenderly, O Queen
of All Saints, on the poor souls!(pause and mention petitions) Say: Our Father,
Hail Mary and Glory Be Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; line-height: 115%;">

patronage. Thy name signifies light; guide us through the dark night of this
life. O fair light of virginity! enlighten us; evil concupiscence has wounded
our eyes: pray for us, O thou bright light of virginity! that our blindness be
healed, and that rising above created things, we may be able to see that true
light, which shineth in darkness, but which darkness cannot comprehend. Pray
for us, that our eye may be purified, and may see, in the Child who is to be
born at Bethlehem, the new Man, the second Adam, the model on Which the life of
our regeneration must be formed. Pray too, O holy virgin, for the Church of
Rome and for all those which adopt her form of the holy Sacrifice; for they
daily pronounce at the altar of God thy sweet name; and the Lamb, Who is
present, loves to hear it. Heap thy choicest blessings on the fair Isle, which
was thy native land, and where grew the palm of thy Martyrdom. May thy
intercession secure to her inhabitants firmness of faith, purity of morals, and
temporal prosperity, and deliver them from the disorders which threaten her
with destruction. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span>St. Lucy was descended of a noble family of Syracuse, which
was then regarded as the principal city of Sicily. She lost her father in her
infancy; but Eutychia, her mother, took care to educate her properly, and to
instruct her well in the doctrines of our holy faith. When our saint arrived at
a proper age, her mother began to think of giving her in marriage, but Lucy,
who had consecrated her virginity to Jesus Christ, awaited only a favorable
opportunity to reveal her resolution to her mother.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>This opportunity soon presented itself. Eutychia was
afflicted for many years with a flux of blood, without being able to find any
effectual remedy. St. Lucy, therefore, persuaded her to repair to the tomb of
St. Agatha, martyred a half century before in Catania, where the Lord was
pleased to work man)- miracles, and there to implore her cure. When they
arrived at Catania, they prostrated themselves in prayer before the sepulchre
of St. Agatha, where Lucy, perhaps from fatigue of the journey, was overpowered
with sleep. The blessed martyr appeared to her, and as we read in the
Roman Breviary, said: “Lucy! why dost thou demand through my intercession that
which, by thy faith, thou canst thyself obtain for thy mother ?” She then
assured Lucy that God would work the desired cure, and that, for having
preserved her virginity inviolate, God would reward her in Syracuse with the
same glory she herself had received in Catania.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Lucy, animated by this vision, was the more confirmed in her
resolution of remaining always consecrated to Jesus Christ, and told her mother
to speak to her no more of marriage, but to distribute her fortune among the
poor. Eutychia answered, that at her death she would bequeath all to her, and
that she might do with it as she pleased; but Lucy replied, that gratitude for
her miraculous cure ought to induce her willingly to deprive herself during
life of that which, at her death, she should necessarily leave behind her.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>The mother consented, and when they returned to Syracuse,
they commenced to sell their property, and to distribute the proceeds among the
poor. Lucy’s suitor perceiving this, complained to Eutychia; but he found that
his representations were totally ineffectual, and, in his rage, accused her
before the governor, Paschasius, as being a Christian, contrary to the edicts
of Diocletian and Maximian. The saint was accordingly arrested and brought
before the governor, who endeavored to persuade her to sacrifice to the idols;
but Lucy replied, that the sacrifice most agreeable to God was the relief of
the poor, in which she was actually engaged and that she was prepared to
sacrifice even her life…</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Paschasius replied, that she ought to obey the emperor, as
he did; but the saint answered: “Day and night I meditate upon the divine law;
and if thou art anxious to please the emperor, I am anxious to please my God;
therefore it is that I have consecrated to him my virginity.”
Paschasius in his rage told her that she was impurity itself. The saint
replied: “No, thou art impurity, since thou dost endeavor to corrupt Christian
souls, alienating them from God, to serve the devil, wrongly preferring, as
thou dost, the goods of this world to those of heaven.” Paschasius: “Torments
shall stop thy mouth.” Lucy: “Words shall never be wanting to the
servants of God, since the Lord hath promised that the Holy Ghost shall speak
through them.” (Matt. 10:20) Paschasius: “Then the Holy Ghost is within
thee?” Lucy: “St. Paul hath said, that those who live chastely and piously are
the temples of the Holy Ghost.” (Cor. 5:16-6:19) “Since this is the
case,” said the tyrant, “ I will cause thee to be brought to an infamous place,
in order that the Holy Ghost may leave thee.” The saint replied: “The body
receiveth no stain when the will is averse to sin; on the contrary, the
violence you meditate would double my crown.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>The governor then threatened the most horrid tortures, in
case she continued obstinate. The saint intrepidly exclaimed: Behold my body
ready to suffer every torture! why dost thou delay? Begin the execution
of that to which the devil, thy father, prompts thee.” Paschasius, maddened
with rage, ordered that she should instantly be brought to the place of infamy,
in order that she might first lose the honor of virginity, and then be deprived
of life.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>The guards endeavored to execute this command, but found
that God had rendered her so immovable, that all their exertions were insufficient
to drag her from the spot. Paschasius in astonishment exclaimed: “What
incantation is this?” The saint replied: “This is not an incantation, but the
power of God. Why dost thou fatigue thyself? Dost thou not manifestly perceive
that I am the temple of the Lord?”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>Paschasius, more confused and infuriated than ever, ordered
a great fire to be kindled round the saint that she might be burned; but Lucy,
nothing daunted, said to the tyrant: “ I will pray to the Lord Jesus that
the fire may not injure me, in order that the faithful may witness the divine
power, and that the infidels may be confused.” The friends of Paschasius,
unwilling that the people should witness any further miracle, advised him to
have her beheaded; but after having been tortured in many other ways, her
throat was pierced with the point of a sword. (See the Breviary and the
martyrology) The saint did not expire immediately; she threw herself on her
knees, offered her death to God; and having foretold that peace would soon be
restored to the Church, consummated her martyrdom, in the year 303 or
304. Her name is inserted in the Canon of the Mass.</span></span></div>

O Lord Jesus Christ, in
presenting ourselves before Thine adorable Face, to ask of Thee the graces of
which we stand in most need, we beseech Thee above all, to grant us that
interior disposition of never refusing at any time to what Thou requirest of us
by Thy holy commandments and divine inspirations. Amen. O Good Jesus, who hadst
said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it
shall be opened to you," grant us O Lord, that faith which obtains all, or
supply in us what may be deficient; grant us, by the pure effect of Thy
charity, and for Thine eternal glory, the graces which we need and which we
look from Thine infinite mercy. Amen.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Be merciful to us, O my God, and
reject not our prayers, when amid our afflictions, we call upon Thy Holy Name
and seek with love and confidence Thine adorable Face. Amen.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
O Almighty and Eternal God, look
upon the Face of Thy Son Jesus. We present It to Thee with confidence to
implore Thy pardon. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our
cause; hearken to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through His infinite
merits, hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor miserable sinners. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Adorable Face of Jesus, my only
love, my light, and my life, grant that I may know Thee, love Thee and serve
Thee alone, that I may live with Thee, of Thee, by Thee and for Thee. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Day 8 - August 4 – Feast of Saint Dominic</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
O Lord Jesus Christ, in
presenting ourselves before Thine adorable Face, to ask of Thee the graces of
which we stand in most need, we beseech Thee above all, to grant us that
interior disposition of never refusing at any time to what Thou requirest of us
by Thy holy commandments and divine inspirations. Amen. O Good Jesus, who hadst
said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it
shall be opened to you," grant us O Lord, that faith which obtains all, or
supply in us what may be deficient; grant us, by the pure effect of Thy
charity, and for Thine eternal glory, the graces which we need and which we
look from Thine infinite mercy. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Be merciful to us, O my God, and
reject not our prayers, when amid our afflictions, we call upon Thy Holy Name
and seek with love and confidence Thine adorable Face. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
O Almighty and Eternal God, look
upon the Face of Thy Son Jesus. We present It to Thee with confidence to
implore Thy pardon. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our
cause; hearken to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through His infinite
merits, hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor miserable sinners. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Adorable Face of Jesus, my only
love, my light, and my life, grant that I may know Thee, love Thee and serve
Thee alone, that I may live with Thee, of Thee, by Thee and for Thee. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the
adorable Face of Thy Beloved Son for the honor and glory of Thy Name, for the
conversion of sinners and the salvation of the dying. O Divine Jesus, through
Thy Face and Name, save us. Our Hope is in the virtue of Thy Holy Name! Amen.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
O Lord Jesus Christ, in
presenting ourselves before Thine adorable Face, to ask of Thee the graces of
which we stand in most need, we beseech Thee above all, to grant us that
interior disposition of never refusing at any time to what Thou requirest of us
by Thy holy commandments and divine inspirations. Amen. O Good Jesus, who hadst
said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it
shall be opened to you," grant us O Lord, that faith which obtains all, or
supply in us what may be deficient; grant us, by the pure effect of Thy
charity, and for Thine eternal glory, the graces which we need and which we
look from Thine infinite mercy. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Be merciful to us, O my God, and
reject not our prayers, when amid our afflictions, we call upon Thy Holy Name
and seek with love and confidence Thine adorable Face. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
O Almighty and Eternal God, look
upon the Face of Thy Son Jesus. We present It to Thee with confidence to
implore Thy pardon. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our
cause; hearken to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through His infinite
merits, hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor miserable sinners. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Adorable Face of Jesus, my only
love, my light, and my life, grant that I may know Thee, love Thee and serve
Thee alone, that I may live with Thee, of Thee, by Thee and for Thee. Amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the
adorable Face of Thy Beloved Son for the honor and glory of Thy Name, for the
conversion of sinners and the salvation of the dying. O Divine Jesus, through
Thy Face and Name, save us. Our Hope is in the virtue of Thy Holy Name! Amen.</div>
