Arata: How the Christian Faith Helped World War I Soldiers on the Western Front Cope with Shell-Shock How the Christian Faith Helped World War I Soldiers on the Western Front Cope with Shell-Shock Nicholas Arata The First World War’s extensive use of trench warfare exposed soldiers to some of industrialized war’s greatest horrors. In such a hellish environment, one would think that such horrors would corrupt a soldier’s faith in his Christian beliefs. How could a loving God allow such atrocities to occur? However, not only did faith help countless soldiers through the war, but Christianity helped relieve the symptoms of war neuroses, such as “shell-shock.” Armies across Europe used chaplains to give soldiers a religious guide, and those chaplains provided a religious outlet for the common soldier.

Mistress Margaret was silent for a moment. "I saw young Mrs. Martin last week," she said, '''with her little girl in her lap. She had her arms around her mother's neck, and was being rocked to and fro; and every time she " rocked she said 'Oh, mother.' "But, then," said Isabel, after a moment's silence, "she was only a child."

To say, 'Hail Mary, Hail Mary,' is the best way of telling her how much we love her.

No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means, and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us, so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass. The Great Governor of the Universe has led us too long and too far on the road to happiness and glory, to forsake us in the midst of it. By folly and improper conduct, proceeding from a variety of causes, we may now and then get bewildered; but I hope and trust that there is good sense and virtue enough left to recover the right path before we shall be entirely lost.” George Washington, June 29, 1788 For the Presidency of the United States of America – The Our Father Before each of the 10 Hail Mary pray - “We plead the Blood of Jesus over ___________ and every soul in that state.” Substitute one of the following states into the blank: Alabama, Arkansas , Connecticut, Georgia, Alaska, California, Delaware, Arizona, Colorado, and Florida.

  • Missionary Families of Christ MARY in the LIFE and MISSION of MFC
    Missionary Families of Christ MARY IN THE LIFE AND MISSION OF MFC MFC is consecrated to Our Lady of the Rosary (a.k.a. Our Lady of Victory). We look to our Mother Mary as the personification of and the model for living out our Core Values. Just as our Core Values function as our constant guideposts as we proceed with our life and mission, so Mary likewise is our guide. Mary is at the very core of the life and mission of the Church quietly interceding and praying. Mary is also at the very heart of our community. But also, Mary is at the forefront of the spiritual war that is raging in the world today. We as holy warriors march under the banners of our Lord and our Lady. More than ever, we would like to focus on Mary as our model for living out our life in community. She serves as our model of holiness, faith, humility, obedience, total trust in God, hope, joy and discipleship. She is our inspiration. We look to Mary as our help as she intercedes for us. We therefore need to make an effort within ourselves, our families, and our community to ensure that Mary becomes an integral part of our lives. Our children need to experience Mary in our homes. Our community needs to put Mary in a place of honor during assemblies, conferences and communal activities. We also need to always remember to call on her to intercede for our community’s needs. Practical Application in our Community Life A.

  • Rosary with Blessed Pier Giorgio
    1 A Rosary with Blessed Pier Giorgio INTRODUCTION “I’m going up to Oropa and I’ll pray for you at the feet of the Black Madonna, even though my prayers are only worth a little bit, and . I’ll send you a token of remembrance which should hopefully always bind us in a bond that is not material: a rosary made with seeds from the garden.” (from a letter to Marco Beltramo, 22 October 1924) Dear Friends, Today is the 116 th birthday of Pier Giorgio, and like every year, we do not want to let this day pass without making him a gift—responding to his invitation: “I would like us to make a pact that knows neither earthly boundaries nor temporal limits: union in prayer.” (to I. Bonini 1/15/1925 ) You may know that this year marks the 100th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparition in Fatima, where she called upon all of her children to renew their devotion to the Rosary. Let us approach our mother, whom Bl. Pier Giorgio loved so tenderly, by praying the rosary united to him and to those who love him all around the world. As our intention we shall all together pray for the youth all across the world, in view of the upcoming "Synod for Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment". We want to ask Pier Giorgio that young people may reach for the rosary with the same enthusiasm as he did - he who always carried a Rosary in his pocket - and under the care of Our Lady may discern their vocation.
