    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

    t) She is the Mother of Us All: An Investigation and Analysis of the Blue Army of Our tåóy..Of Fgtima r) Nancy Anderson Niemczyk Seiúor Thesis in Relígion Swarthmore College May 1988. This Cold War is terrible. There's no more security. I lie in bed, and wonder if we will get bombed. We don't need nuclear bombs, \ile never had them before. I don't like nuclear power either. We don't need all this technology. So what if we don't have as much electricity, we can just use candles and it would be better than being afraid. These people in nuclear power plants fall asleep! And there are accidents. I'm scared to drink the water, and there are mutant fish. Now I only eat chicken, and I'm scared of that. - Edith, member, The Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima Our Blessed Mother is the greatest saint there is. She's a person, not like God - Kathleen Thompson, president, The Philadelphia Archdiocesan Division of the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima This thesis would never have been written without the help of many people. First thanks go to my grandmothers; each in her own way fostered my interest in religion. I would like to thank Joy Charlton for her advice on interview technique, Jerry Frost for reading this thesis, and A.-J. Levine for her constant spiritual and intellectual support.

    Devotion to Mary Introduction It is time for us to improve our devotion to Mary. Wearing the Scapular and saying a Rosary is simply not enough. Let us consider this as we consider the following devotions. First let us consider the presumptuous devotee as explained by Saint Louis de Montfort. From True Devotion to Mary Presumptuous devotees are sinners abandoned to their passions, or lovers of the world, who, under the fair name of Christians and clients of our Blessed Lady, conceal pride, avarice, impurity, drunkenness, anger, swearing, detraction, injustice, or some other sin. They sleep in peace in the midst of their bad habits, without doing any violence to themselves to correct their faults, under the pretext that they are devout to the Blessed Virgin. They promise themselves that God will pardon them; that they will not be allowed to die without confession; and that they will not be lost eternally, because they say the Rosary, because they fast on Saturdays, because they belong to the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary, or wear the scapular, or are enrolled in other congregations, or wear the little habit or little chain of our Lady. They will not believe us when we tell them that their devotion is only an illusion of the devil, and a pernicious presumption likely to destroy their souls. They say that God is good and merciful; that He has made us to condemn us everlastingly; that no man is without sin; that they shall die not the without confession; that one good Peccavi (I have sinned) at the hour of death is enough; that they are devout to our Lady; that they wear the scapular; and that they say daily, without reproach or vanity, seven Paters and Aves in her honour; and that they sometimes say the Rosary and the Office of our Lady, besides fasting, and other things.

  • John M. Haffert Vhen It First Appeared in 1940, Sign of Her Heart (Then Called “Mary in Her Scapular Promise”) Was a Catholic Book Club Selection
    John M. Haffert vhen it first appeared in 1940, Sign of Her Heart (then called “Mary in Her Scapular Promise”) was a Catholic Book Club selection. Bishop Sheen wrote the preface and one of the editors of P. J. Kennedy and Sons (then one of the leading Catholic publish­ ing companies in America) said: “This book takes its place with those of Grignion de Montfort and Alphonsus Liguori as one of the three great books of all time on devotion to the Blessed Virgin.” In 1940, when this book first appeared, the Scapular Devotion had begun to be forgotten. Today it is fer­ vently practiced by millions. Our Lady held it from the sky in the final vision of Fatima, on October 13, 1917, during the miracle of the sun. Pius XII said: “Let it be for all the sign of their consecration to Her TmmAPiilatp uport SIGN OF HER HEART sold over 100,000 copies with- in a few years of publication and remains as much in demand today as when it was first published, due largely to the appearance of Our Lady of the Scapular at Fatima. “Unusual.”— America. “This is a book every pastor will I want to read.”— Ecclesiastical Review. 270 “This volume will be for many an pages actual source of blessing, for no one can read it without feeling drawn closer to the Mother of Fair Love.”—Ave Maria. “A great contribution!”— Daniel A.

As the ninth month of the year, September marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere (and the start of spring in the southern). Traditionally considered the month that marks transitions between seasons, it is often one of the most temperate weather-wise. The name September comes from the Latin septem, meaning seven, since it was the seventh month of the Roman calendar, which began with March. There are 30 days in the month of September, which starts on the same day of the week as December each year but does not end on the same day of the week as any other month in the year. September has several United States and international holidays. Labor Day is the most well known holiday in September. It is observed every year on the first Monday in September. Native American Day is always celebrated on the 4th Friday of Septem- ber.Grandparent's Day is observed in the United States on the first Sunday after Labor Day. Constitution Day, celebrating the ratification of the governing document of the United States, is observed on the 17th.The autumn equinox, which is the traditional transition from summer into fall, takes place on or around September 22nd, depending on the year.
