Testimonials. “I just wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service provided by your online shop and the very fine quality of scapular (the best I've seen) and Miraculous medal. I admire the wonderful work you are doing towards the restoration of Holy Church and Her glorious traditions.” – D.M., Northern Ireland. “Out of all of the on-line religious goods stores I've found, the articles on your website are all quality without the kitsch. I received my order of religious jewelry super fast. Thank you. I’m so happy to have a place to go when I need a quality sacramental.” – Andrew, Colorado, USA. “Every item is absolutely beautiful! I have not encountered any other service, either online or brick-and-mortar establishment, that offers items of the same exquisite quality as your sacramentals. The aesthetic beauty is not only pleasing to the eye but inspires devotion in the heart and a more ardent desire to please . I will definitely be using your wonderful service for most of my devotional needs! Thanks again! God bless you, Sisters.” – Antonia, New York, USA. “Excellence is the Sisters trademark! As always, a smooth easy means of purchase, coupled with prompt shipping . The Items I have purchased over the years are always of superb quality and workmanship. I could not be more pleased.” - Francis T Walsh. “I have now purchased at least a dozen brown scapulars from the Sisters of Carmel and have always received items of the utmost quality that wear very well. Adding to my satisfaction is that the Sisters charge a standard USPS shipping rate for the items, i.e., they do not add to one’s cost by charging inflated “shipping and handling” charges. Furthermore, my order was shipped one business day after I placed my order. We are all called by God to serve within the confines of His graces to us. The Sisters of Carmel are models of that calling.” “I have received my orders from you and again want to thank you for them. The and Seven Dolors chaplets are beautiful and will be treasured by me for many years. As others have said, the pictures on the web site don’t do them justice. I also want to thank you for the books you carry. They are clearly selected with the goal of deepening faith. It is wonderful to find a place where I can go and know that I will receive quality, not only of merchandise, but of faith. Again, thank you for the work you do.” – Mary, Minnesota, USA. “I just received my scapular and crucifix along with the Miraculous Medals. I am so very pleased with the quality of the items! Truly the BEST on- line selection of sacramentals. Thanks so much! I will be ordering from you again soon.” “Your website is like an oasis of good spiritual things! You do such magnificent work, the chaplets are amazing! The badges are like having good friends near, and your books are so nourishing to the soul. I feel so blessed to have found you. Thank you again, and you are in my prayers.” – Laura, California, USA. “Unbelievable service – I received my order on Monday, exactly five days after placing it. Your customer service is outstanding. Everything was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The ceramic ornaments are lovely, and I can’t wait to add them to my tree this year. The exquisite suncatcher will be placed in my kitchen window where it will be appreciated every day. And as for the ‘’ CD, all I can say is it’s on continuous loop right now. I love early choral music and have a collection of CD’s, but this one is stunningly beautiful and has become my new favorite.” – Linda, North Carolina, USA. “I wanted to let you know that I received the Rosary that you created for us just a short while ago. Sisters, it has to be without exception the most beautiful Rosary I have ever held. It is exactly how I envisioned it and the size is perfect. You were also right about the beads; the color is exceptional! Thank you, thank you, thank you each and every Sister for doing such a perfect job and for putting up with us throughout this whole process. While rersearching this project, every time I looked elsewhere, I always seemed to be guided back to the Sisters of Carmel, and now I know why. PERFECTION! – A , New York, USA. “I just wanted to thank you for the exceptional care you took in packing/shipping the books and other items in my order. It’s the little extra touches like this that go a long way with the customer and lets them know how much you value their business.” – R.C., New York, USA. “I received my sterling silver Crucifix yesterday. It was such a pleasure to receive it. Everything was packaged and presented with such care and finesse. The crucifix was crafted with such intricate and beautiful details that it does not do justice to look at it through the Internet. One has to order it to relish what a beautiful piece of art it is. Again, the manner you package the crucifix, the enclosures contained within, and the quality of craftmanship itself has totally exceeded my expectations.” “I recently purchased a cord rosary from the Sisters of Carmel. I have to say the quality and craftsmanship was far beyond my expectations. I was so impressed I ordered two more as gifts. God bless the Sisters of Carmel and God bless your ministry! Your rosaries, in my opinion, are of the finest quality anywhere.” “When I asked my priest to bless my new scapular, it took his breath away by its handmade beauty. I told him it had been made with loving hands by the Sisters of Carmel. I felt the Holy Spirit say to give it to him. I did. He was overwhelmed. I ordered another one for myself and it arrived today. I love it. It is so beautiful. I will kiss it every day. I am eager to have it blessed tomorrow and wear it immediately. Thank you.” “I love to order any item from your site. Always such high quality and a joy for all that I give them to. Your care and blessings are felt from the Holy Spirit to us. Thank you and God bless you.” “Once again the best. I appreciate you quickly sending me the scapular. I could have gone locally to purchase one, but I truly appreciate your craftsmanship and customer service.” “This is the most beautiful rosary I have ever seen crafted. Combining high quality materials, skillful labor, and loving prayer, the Carmelite Sisters are hands down the best choice to go with when shopping for rosaries. Reasonably priced, quick delivery, and wonderful customer service, I will DEFINITELY be ordering all of my future rosary purchases from ” Living the Little Office: Reflections on the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Marianna Gildea. The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. An abridged version of the Divine Office that has become particularly popular among laypeople is the Offícium Parvum Beátæ Maríæ Víirginis , or Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its advantage is that it is shorter and easier to pray than the full Office. Its disadvantage is that there is not as much variety over time in the text of the prayers. The Little Office contains all of the hours of the full Office. Only varies daily; apart from seasonal differences in , , and , the text of the other hours is the same every day. It is this very lack of variation that makes for a small, easily portable prayer book, along with the comfort of formulas that become familiar over time. Certain religious orders, including the Norbertines, the , and the Cistericans, had their own versions of the Little Office which, in some cases was prayed in addition to, and not instead of, the Divine Office. Occasionally you may find books meant for those orders’ variations of the Little Office, but the mainstream version is the standard edition. Praying the Little Office is associated with a variety of graces, including the Sabbatine Privilege, which will be the subject of a future column. (www.baroniuspress.com) has issued a new /English edition of the Extraordinary Form Little Office based on the 1961 . On the plus side, this book includes hierarchical English translations from the Douay Rheims bible. It also includes notation for those interested in chanting the Office. On the minus side, the Latin text does not employ accent marks, sometimes making it challenging to read. Be sure to order the 2009 (second) edition, which corrects some typos found in the first edition. We caution you against using the Little Office published by St. Bonaventure Press, as it is based upon the 1904 Breviary, which is not the edition to be used for the Extraordinary Form today. The comprehensive Breviary site www.divinumofficium.com contains the 1961 edition of the Little Office, along with earlier editions, with parallel Latin and (hieratic) English. www.ipieta.com offers a $2.99 app for the iPhone which contains a “public domain” version of the Little Office as well as Extraordinary Form readings in English from the Douay-Rheims Bible. We assume this is an Extraordinary Form Little Office, though we cannot determine if it is the 1961 edition. www.officiumdivinum.org contains the 1961 Little Office of the Blessed Virgin in Latin only, quickly accessible. A tutorial on the Little Office, including audio samples in Latin and English, is available at www.boston-catholic-journal.com. The Little Office was never revised by Rome after Vatican II. As a result, there is no official Vatican Latin version for the Form. All public celebrations of the Little Office therefore continue to use the Extraordinary Form. However, in 1988 Fr. John Rotelle, OSA, published an edition with approval for private use (only) that updated the Little Office to conform to the new . Only (modern) English is provided. See www.catholicbookpublishing.com. Mass for Fr. Ulysse Lefaive on February 15. On Tuesday, February 15 at 7:00 PM, a High Requiem Mass with at the Catafalque will be held at Assumption Church in Windsor for the repose of the soul of Fr. Ulysse Lefaive. Fr. Lefaive passed away on September 25; this is our first opportunity in the calendar to offer a Requiem Mass for him. As we have written before, Fr. Lefaive was chaplain of the Windsor during a challenging period and never failed to convey his love and support for the Extraordinary Form. All of us who attend the Tridentine Mass in metro Detroit and Windsor owe this holy priest prayers of gratitude not only for his devotion to celebrating the Mass, but also for his behind-the-scenes work that laid the groundwork for the thriving activity that we enjoy in this region today.

According to Cardinal Bona, who quotes from a manuscript of Peter the (twelfth century), there was, in addition to the Divine Office, another “which it is customary to perform in honour of the Holy Mother of God, which Zachary the . of the Day – 16 December – Blessed Mary of the Fontanella OCD (1661-1717) “The Fragrant Rose of Turin,” Saint of the Day – 16 December – Blessed Mary of the Angels Fontanella OCD (1661-1717) “The Fragrant Rose of Turin,” Discalced Carmelite, Mystic, Stigmatist, Marian devotee and client of St Joseph, Prioress, Spiritual director – born as Marianna Fontanella on 7 January 1661 at Balderino, Italy and died on 16 December 1717 of natural causes at Turin, Iraly. Also known as Maria degli Angeli, Maria Fontanella of the Angels. Bl Mary studied with the as a child and entered the despite the protests of her mother and siblings – she soon became a noted and prioress and in 1703 inaugurated a new convent she herself oversaw the establishment of and later, instigated the building of a beautiful Basilica in honour of the Blessed Virgin. Marianna Fontanella came into the world on January 7, 1661. She was the youngest of 11 children born to Count Giovanni of Turin and his wife, Lady Maria Tana. The mother had among her close relatives, the mother of St Aloysius de Gonzaga SJ (1568-1591), a youthful aristocrat who renounced a life of privilege to become a holy Jesuit. The fact that there was an official Saint counted among her kin was undoubtedly a source of pride for the family but it wasn’t enough to impress Marianna to want to become one too. It was related that this Blessed initially lived her early years in a manner typical of her high social status – she was well-educated, pampered and exposed to all sorts of social niceties and assemblies … and she enjoyed it all, especially the fancy outfits and the dances. However, on one particular day, while still a young child, she sat in front of a mirror admiring herself when her own reflection vanished to be replaced by a vision – Christ appeared in the mirror, sadly staring back at her, battered and crowned with thorns. The experience so shocked Marianna that it had the immediate effect of a lasting conversion. From that moment on she shunned her elaborate wardrobe and jewellery and began exercising a devout mode of living despite her tender age. In 1667 she schemed with a little to imitate the and to run off to live “in the desert” though, at the time they were meant to begin this journey, the two were so fast asleep that their plan was spoiled. Due to her familial relationship with him, she adopted Saint Luigi Gonzaga as a model for personal holiness and made an effort to imitate the late saint’s example. In 1673 as a 12-year-old, Marianna accompanied one of her sisters to the Cistercian Monastery in Saluzzo where the latter was entering into religious life. Somehow, Marianna was able to persuade her parents to allow her to board with the and she remained with them for over a year until her mother recalled her home due to the unexpected death of her father. Back at the family villa, she resisted her family’s efforts to marry her off and she practised a regimen of prayer and self-mortification. Apparently, while with the Cistercians, an earlier resolve she made to become a had strengthened but she was undecided as to which order to join. After providentially meeting and speaking with a venerable Carmelite priest during one of the rare public exhibitions of the Holy Shroud of Turin, Marianna applied with the local Discalced Carmelite Monastery of Santa Cristina. Lady Maria reluctantly consented when it became clear that her daughter could not be dissuaded, so Marianna made her entrance into Carmel on 19 November 1675, she was 14-years-old and took the name Maria of the Angels. The first year in the monastery was not easy for the aspiring nun. The sweetness of spirit and the divine favours she had started to enjoy before entering, evaporated, leaving Sr Maria with a terrible dryness in her soul. She clung desperately to her faith and, guided by a meticulous novice mistress, she managed to reach profession on 26 December 1676… but the sense of separation from God – the “” – continued to torment her for the next 15 years. The devil aggravated the situation, via severe temptations and diabolic assaults. Fortunately, the beleagured nun weathered her personal storm through the consistent practice of virtue, especially humility and obedience towards her superiors. All that she suffered, served to purify her spirit, as Jesus was leading her on a singular path of extraordinary mystical union with Himself, as was proven later on. By 1691 Sr Maria was finally free of the darkness and began experiencing supernatural lights with greater intensity. Sublime visions of Christ and heavenly inhabitants resumed, along with other mystical gifts such as Prophecy, the Stigmata and the Fragrance of Sanctity. It was reported that the beautiful scent that constantly surrounded her was so obvious, that the other nuns could track her whereabouts by following the aroma she left in her wake. The Blessed, on her part, took to carrying small bundles of flowers and spices to try to disguise the heavenly scent but to no avail – it increased on feast days and during times when she was ill and unable to take precautions, to disguise the fragrance. Even things she handled, were imbued with the delightful scent! Noting her many virtues and fine example of Carmelite spirituality, the community elected Sr Maria to the post of novice mistress in 1691 then prioress in 1694. Word soon spread outside of the monastery about the extraordinary prioress and people began seeking her counsel and prayers, including the reigning king of the region, Vittorio Amadeo II of the royal house of Savoy and other members of the nobility. Vocations to the Carmel of St Cristina increased, which necessitated the founding of another monastery in nearby Moncalieri in 1703, with the encouragement from Blessed Sebastian Valfrè CO (1629-1710). Sr Maria had hoped to transfer there, to be away from the centre of the limelight but the king explicitly forbade her to ever leave Turin, due to his dependence on her advice and his devotion to her. A depiction of Bl Maria of the Angels interceding with Chris t to spare Turin from a chastisement of the dreaded plague. Public esteem for the prioress reached a pinnacle in 1696 when the city was besieged by an invading army. She publicly announced that the city would be saved if people turned to St Joseph, for help, which they did. Turin was liberated and, in gratitude, St Joseph was proclaimed the of the city by the king. Similarly, in 1706 when the French besieged the city, the citizens and royals turned to the of their resident mystic – the nun invoked the Holy Virgin’s protection and the city’s army was again victorious. At Sr Mary’s urging, a church – the great Basilica of the Superga (Superga is a Hill in Turin) – was built to commemorate the victory and to honour Our Lady. The beautiful Basilica of the Superga in Turin, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and constructed under the prompting of Bl Maria of the Angels. Below is a window of Bl Maria in the Basilica. Sr Maria of the Angels died peacefully in her monastery on 16 December 1717, after living a productive life of prayer, self-sacrifice and service to her beloved people. She was 56-years-old at the time of her death and all of Turin mourned the passing of she, who had saved them from wars and even a plague in 1714. At the instigation of King Vittorio, the holy nun’s Cause for Canonisation was started just a few years after the death of Sr Maria. Pius IX declared her a Blessed on 25 April 1865 but a second miracle has yet to be officially recognised for the prioress to reach sainthood. Let us pray for her speedy Canonisation.
