Venerating the Image of Divine Mercy on the Feast of Mercy
Venerating the Image of Divine Mercy on the Feast of Mercy A look at the writings of Pope Benedict XVI Time has proven the correctness of the prophetic writings that Our Lord asked St. Faustina to record for humanity. The Church has recognized that the readings of Second Sunday of Easter were already perfect for a Feast of Mercy and responded by instituting Divine Mercy Sunday, fulfilling His request. With this in mind, let us look at these requests and promises of the Lord as regards to the Divine Mercy image and compare them to the writings of Pope Benedict XVI. In his book, “The Spirit of the Liturgy”, the Pope dedicated a complete chapter on the Question of Images. This work that was written at the turn of the millennium, is quite prophetic also. In it he takes us through the history of images from the Old Testament to the New and presents to us the reasons why we must use sacred images in our sacred spaces and also for our liturgies. He said that the purpose of the book was to assist the renewal of understanding the liturgy. After reading this monumental work, one is left with the impression of what the most perfect image would be to assist us in the celebration of Mass. If you have previously read about the image of Divine Mercy in the diary of St. Faustina, and the requests of Our Lord to have the image venerated, especially on the Feast of Mercy, you will see the prophetic nature of the Pope’s writing because they perfectly apply to this image and to the request of the Lord. -

DIVINE MERCY NOVENA Holy Spirit Catholic Church Fremont Ca Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction (Exposition) Please Kneel O salutaris Hostia, Quae caeli pandis ostium: Bella premunt hostilia, Da robur, fer auxilium. Uni trinoque Domino Sit sempiterna gloria, Qui vitam sine termino Nobis donet in patria. Amen. O saving Victim, opening wide, The gate of heaven to man below! Our foes press on from every side. Thine aid supply, thy strength bestows. To Thy great name by endless praise, Immortal Godhead, one in Three. Oh, grant us endless length of days, In our true native land with Thee. Amen To the Holy Spirit Come Holy Spirit, I need you Come Holy Spirit, I pray Come in your strength and your power Come in your own gentle way Come like a spring in the desert Come to the weary of souls Lord let your sweet healing power Touch me and make me whole What It Is The word "novena" comes from the Latin meaning "nine each." It is a prayer or Holy Mass that is offered for nine consecutive days. Scripturally, novenas take their origin from the nine days of prayer before Pentecost. After the Ascension, the apostles, and disciples, in obedience to the Lord, gathered in the upper room and devoted themselves to constant prayer, together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus (Acts 1:4-5). The nine days of prayer can also be considered as a representation of the nine months of Jesus in the womb of Mary. Like Jesus our Head, we His Body are also to be born of Mary and the Holy Spirit. -

Dominican Devotion to the Sacred Heart
DOMINICAN DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART LOUIS EVERY, O.P. HE HEART of Christ is the living and expressive symbol of divine and human love for all mankind. This Heart was closed before the Passion, because it was unknown, but after the Passion it was opened so that holy souls might see that all the prophecies were fulfilled. It is true that in the Middle Ages great stress was placed upon the devotion to the Wounds of the Sav iour without specific reference to His Sacred Heart, yet there were many devout persons in the Order of Preachers who penetrated more deeply into those Wounds and discovered in the Pierced Heart, the emblem of love and the door that opens to eternal salvation. GERMANY The earliest account of devotion to the Sacred Heart in the Do minican Order is found in The Light of Divinity, a small book, con taining the visions of a pious woman, Mechtilde ( + 1250), written at the request of her spiritual director, a Dominican friar from the con vent of Magdeburg. She relates that on one occasion Our Lord ap peared to her and said : "In the Order of Preachers there are two things, i.e., the cult shown and the great fruit derived which I esteem so highly that I always smile from the depths of My Sacred Heart; for both men and women with all the power at their command zeal ously preach the glory of My Majesty."1 Mechtilde always prayed that the Dominicans by their labors would continue to make repara tion for the insults directed against the Sacred Heart. -
The Life and Kingdom of Jesus in Christian Souls
The Life and the Kingdom Of JESUS A TREATISE ON CHRISTIAN PERFECTION FOR USE BY CLERGY OR LAITY BY SAINT JOHN EUDES Translated from the French by A Trappist Father in The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsémani With an Introduction by THE RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR FULTON J. SHEEN 1947 NEW YORK P. J. KENEDY & SONS Numérisé par [email protected] GENERAL PREFACE ST. JOHN EUDES has been called "the wonder of his age." Missionary, founder, reformer of the clergy, he crowded into a life of seventy-nine years so many and such varied accomplishments that one marvels how a single man could achieve so much. In addition to the activities of an incessant and many-sided apostolate, he wrote a number of valuable books, which rank him among the most prolific ascetic writers of the seventeenth century. For many years the devotional works of St. John Eudes were practically unknown.(1) Occasionally a volume was discovered in the library of some seminary or religious house. Many others preserved in manuscript form were lost in the chaos of the French Revolution(2) At the beginning of the present century the sons of St. John Eudes united in a tribute of filial piety to bring out a complete edition of the works of their spiritual father, seeking them in public and private libraries throughout the world(3) About twenty volumes were found and edited in 1905 by the late Fathers Charles Lebrun, C.J.M., and Joseph Dauphin, (1).Before the French Revolution the works of St. John Eudes were popular in France. -
Gertrude the Great, OSB
Gertrude the Great, OSB Born in Eisleben, Thuringia, Germany, on January 6, 1256; died at Helfta in Saxony, c. 1302. "O Lord Jesus Christ, in union with Your most perfect actions I commend to You this my work, to be directed according to Your adorable will, for the salvation of all mankind. Amen." --Saint Gertrude Almost nothing is known about one of my favorite saint's birth or death. Saint Gertrude was probably an orphan because at age five she was received by the Cistercian nuns of Helfta and placed under the care of Saint Mechtilde (see below) of Hackeborn, mistress of novices. (Helfta was actually a Black Benedictine convent, which had been falsely designated as Cistercian for political reasons in many early records.) The intellectual level was high in the castle convent of Helfta, which was then run by the noblewoman, Saint Gertrude of Hackeborn (1232-1292). Even so, Saint Gertrude was considered an outstanding student, who devoted herself to study, especially literature and philosophy. Eventually she became a professed nun but still she concentrated on the secular. God, however, is a great teacher. Gertrude learned that when she began to get carried away with her love of learning. She didn't go so far as to neglect GERTRUDE THE GREAT the Lord completely, but she did push him off a bit to the side. Her mind was growing, but it was growing faster than her heart. Gertrude's life has a lesson for intellectuals who will profit from her example. If a syllogism moves you to ecstasy and a dissertation about the love of God makes you speechless with joy, then beware. -

I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter.
