  • The Blessed VIRGIN MARY Help of Christians Principal Patroness of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and the Salesian Family
    24 May The Blessed VIRGIN MARY Help of Christians Principal Patroness of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and the Salesian Family Solemnity When this solemnity coincides with a Sunday of Paschal Time or the solemnity of Pentecost, the celebration is transferred to the first free day following (cf Roman Missal, General norms for the liturgical year and the Calendar, nn. 5, 60). For the pastoral good of the faithful, when the solemnity falls on a weekday, its celebration may be transferred to the following Sunday, provided the latter be a Sunday in Ordinary Time. In this case the formulary may be used at all Masses in which the people take part (cf ibid., nn. 58, 59). In the complicated network of human events, Christian peoples have frequently experienced in the course of history the practical help of the Virgin Mary, especially in moments of particular difficulty for the life of the Church. Thus has been added a further title to the Mother of God: "Help of Christians". The date chosen for the feast was 24 May, the day on which Pope Pius VII returned to Rome after his miraculous liberation from prison in 1814. Saint John Bosco saw in the invocation "Help of Christians" a wonderful summation of the mystery of the Blessed Virgin in the Church's plan of salvation; indeed he was prompted to write: "The experience of eighteen centuries demonstrates in a most vivid way that Mary continues most effectively from heaven her maternal and helping mission in the Church which she began on earth" (Maraviglie della Madre di Dio, 1868, p.

Everybody was Tfresh and felt rested after a good night sleep following the long journey from the United States that was punctuated by the rewarding experience at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Breakfast was prompt and quick as everybody got ready to celebrate mass in English at the Chapel of Sts. Cosmas and Damian (the patron saint of the various charity works of the USTMAAA that benefit Chapel of Sts. Cosmas & Damian the indigent patients of UST Hospital, how appropriate) in the grounds of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. There was time to absorb the scenic surroundings of the Shrine and take group Agony in the garden of Gethsemane Dr. Roger Liboon visiting the relics of pictures and of course inside the Rosary Basilica St. Bernadette in the Crypt loads of individual and smaller group photos as everybody excitedly looked for a pose that would “include everything”. Most everybody went on to take a bath and to drink the water that welled from the spring at the foot of the hill that St. Bernadette first dug into during the apparitions of the Blessed Mother. The ladies took longer to fall in line and part of the Basilica of the Dr. Ludy Bengson & Ms. Esperanza Immaculate Concepción Vasallo at the Station of the Cross group could not finish before 12 noon when the Gothic spires that jut into the sky.

    Nine (9) Day Novena I Sacred Heart of Jesus I The Block Rosary Devotion to Mary Help of Christians I Mary Help of Christians and Don Bosco NOVENA TO MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS Suggested by St. John Bosco Mary Help of Christians, Pray for us! Don Bosco was the greatest propagator of the devotion to Mary Help of Christians. To all who asked him for help, he always suggested recourse to the Madonna by a special novena. Many extraordinary favors were granted to those who followed Don Bosco's advice. 1. Recite each day for nine days, three times in honor of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the "Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be" and the ejaculation "O Sacrament most holy, O sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine." Then recite three times in honor of our Lady the "Hail Holy Queen" with the ejaculation, "Mary Help of Christians, pray for us." 2. Approach the Sacraments of Confession and Communion during the Novena. 3. Make an offering towards the Don Bosco's work of Charity in accordance with your means. NINE (9) DAY NOVENA TO MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS OPENING PRAYER In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. LET US PRAY Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, and sought your intercession, was left unaided, inspired with this confidence I fly unto you; O Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful, O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me.
