Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Convictions, Issue Number 20 - November 2009 1 Dear Readers issue number 20 - November 2009 Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Convictions, issue number 20 - November 2009 1 Dear readers, Our Lady asked the children of Fatima to pray the Rosary and to pray it every day. She invites us to recite the rosary so that Communism will not be spread throughout the world, so that sinners will convert, and she promised the triumph of the Immaculate Heart at the end of our eff orts. Since March 25th our Superior General invites us to a third Rosary Crusade. He would like the Catholic faithful to unite throughout the world and to say – all combined – twelve million rosaries. But is it the multitude of rosaries that the Superior General seeks? Is the quantity of prayers the cause of the request of the Blessed Virgin at Fatima? Certainly, the great number of rosaries manifests our fervour and our devotion. We love our dear Mother from Heaven and we have confi dence in her. Naturally, we take our rosary in order to tell her we love her, to entrust her with all our problems, to request her intercession and to sing her praises. Thus the frequent recitation is nothing less than the proof of our Marian devotion. Mary never allows herself to be overcome in her goodness. If we on our part are faithful and gen- erous in our prayers, she, on her part, will also show herself generous. If we meditate on the Rosary every day, she will give us – as she has done since the time of St. Dominic – the grace to make our- selves resemble Our Lord Jesus Christ. The prayer of the Rosary has a force all its own. Through Mary, the words of the “Our Fathers” and the “Hail Marys” are like doors which permit us to enter into the life of Jesus. Whoever meditates attentively on one or several of the fi fteen mysteries will place himself in the hands of the Blessed Virgin. She will take his hand and reveal to him her Divine Son. It is through her that the faithful will always understand better who Jesus Christ is, what are His in- tentions and His reasons, how He loves us and how much He has suff ered for us. It is also through the intercession of the Virgin Mary that we then receive the grace of a strong will. The prayer of the rosary helps us to change our life. From the Annunciation to the Crowning in Heaven, each step of the life of Our Lord fi nds her there. And each mystery reveals to us another characteristic, another vir- tue. The rosary is the perfect and complete school of the Christian life. Having once entered into this school, the faithful person who recites his rosary regularly will progressively change his thoughts, his words and his actions. He who loves his rosary will begin to say it constantly. In visiting a friend he will think of Mary on her way to Elizabeth, as she hastens to render service to her cousin. He will regard the intense prayer of Mary who, in spite of the pains of the voyage, always keeps her heart united to her Divine Son. When falsely accused, he will admire the patience and the renouncement of Jesus, who takes His cross to place it upon His shoulders. Jesus embraces His cross with love, seeing therein the instru- ment of salvation, seeking nothing else but the accomplishment of the will of the Father. And so, with the rosary in our hands, we will ask through our suff erings to obtain the same patience, the same love. Maybe we will have to grit our teeth, but without a doubt we will come to fi nd the graces which Mary has prepared for us. Maybe we seek the reason why we are overwhelmed by an injustice: the example of Jesus carrying out the will of the Father will give to our tormented soul the strength to accept the divine will without complaining and without rebelling. If we are envious of the new car of our neighbour: what must we do? Let us take up our rosary. Let us meditate the mystery of the Ascension. We see the apostles, their gaze fi xed on heaven, where their Master has gone. We will very quickly come to understand the triviality of the things of this world and the importance, the beauty, the perpetuity of that which God has promised. There it is – the reason for which the Blessed Virgin has given us the Rosary, which she wishes us to say every day. That is what our Superior General wants of us: That we become true Christians – Christians who resemble Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    OVIDE CHARLEBOIS Premier vicaire apostolique du Keewatin Mgr Ovide Charlebois Ovide Charlebois naît à Oka, au Québec, le 17 février 1862, septième d'une famille de quatorze enfants. Il a deux ans lorsque sa famille déménage à Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson. Ovide ne pourra fréquenter l'école, distante de huit kilomètres; sa mère l'initiera à l'ABC de la science! À 12 ans, ce garçon déjà grand manie adroitement marteau, scie et faux. En lui donnant la confirmation, Mgr Édouard Fabre, de Montréal, le remarque et le recommande au collège de L'Assomption, où une bienfaitrice paie sa pension. Dans un foyer très chrétien, Ovide croît en générosité, en serviabilité et en piété. Il ambitionne de suivre les traces du père Albert Lacombe, O.M.I., son devancier au collège, géant missionnaire dans l'Ouest. Sur le sentier oblat Accepté chez les Oblats en 1882, Ovide est un modèle de régularité, de charité et de dévouement. Ordonné prêtre en 1887 par Mgr Vital Grandin, O.M.I., il verra avec joie deux de ses frères devenir Oblats comme lui. Deux autres seront prêtres séculiers, et une soeur religieuse. Sitôt ordonné, Ovide rejoint Mgr Grandin, qui l'envoie à Cumberland House, son futur poste d'attache. Débutent pour lui seize années d'ennui et de misère, parmi un peuple étranger. L'étude de la langue crie et du montagnais lui est très ardue. Il se distrait en bâtissant une chapelle et une baraque où résider. Il deviendra maître d'école et juge de paix. Fort, vif, endurant et habile, le père Charlebois bâtira une douzaine de chapelles, presbytères et écoles.

  • Bishop Charlebois
    “Venerable” Bishop Charlebois Pope Francis advances the cause of sainthood of Ovide Charlebois, oblate missionary and first apostolic vicar of Keewatin, Manitoba. Born in Quebec, Ovide Charlebois lived a life of heroic Christian virtue, serving in Saskatchewan, establishing schools and churches in Manitoba, all the while ministering to Indigenous peoples. Ovide Charlebois, on a visit to an Indigenous community in Northern. (photo: Société historique de Saint-Boniface) Pope Francis declared Bishop Ovide Charlebois, the first apostolic vicar of Keewatin, “venerable” on November 28. For father Robert Laroche, omi, former vicar general of Keewatin, the papal announcement is “a real source of pride”. “It’s a very significant moment for the Church in Manitoba. Like many missionaries, Bishop Charlebois may have been born in Quebec, but he’s one of us, a westerner, a Manitoban. Most of all, Bishop Charlebois was an extraordinary man, who gave his entire life to serving indigenous communities.” Ovide Charlebois was born in Oka, Quebec, in 1862. The seventh of fourteen children, he was ordained in 1887 and immediately began working in Saskatchewan, establishing a school, teaching and traveling thousands of miles by snowshoe, dogsled, and canoe to minister to the Métis and aboriginal communities. “It’s particularly fitting that the pope took this decision in 2019, the United Nations year of Aboriginal Languages, notes father Robert Laroche. (1) Ovide Charlebois spoke Ojibway and Cree, and a little bit of Dene. For him, reaching out to First Nations peoples in their own languages was vitally important. It wasn’t simply a matter of communicating clearly to them; it was a sign of deep respect.

  • Iona College in Queensland (Australia) Co-Founded by a Patrician Rev Fr Long OMI
    PATRICIANS OF JAFFNA - AUSTRALIA Iona College in Queensland (Australia) co-founded by a Patrician Rev Fr Long OMI By Timothy Arulanandam, Vice President of Patricians of Jaffna Rev Fr Charles Matthews and Rev Fr Timothy Long and others, shaped our St. Patrick’s College to its peak, during the time I was a student there. At this school my father had the opportunity to serve these two giants for just over 22 years as a Clerk in the College. As a token gratitude, my father named my late brother Dr. Antony ‘Charles’ Arulanandam after Rev. Fr. Charles Matthews and I was named ‘Timothy’, after Rev Fr Timothy Long. Rev Fr Long, after serving St Patrick’s College for over 36 years moved to Australia in 1958 and was instrumental in establishing Iona College in Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) in that year itself. It is noteworthy that the entire family of Rev. Fr. Long is dedicated to the service of God and that all his three brothers became priests and his sister became a nun. After I migrated to Australia in 1985, my late brother Dr. Antony told me the glory of Iona College that was founded by Rev Fr Long. I was interested in learning more details of the College. The more I learned about IONA, the more I became fascinated about this College, especially when I learned our own Rector “ Fr. Long of Jaffna’ was instrumental in starting this new school called IONA in Lindum, Brisbane, Australia. This school was established 1958 ,with only 56 students and 4 staff members and within a very short time, it has now grown big to accommodate some 1500 students, with facilities and services, that would only match some of the world’s best schools.
