We have been doing this at the daily Masses since July, but following the request of Pope Francis and our Archbishop we will now extend that to all Masses at Christ the King. After the final blessing is given and before the final hymn is started, the priest and servers will come down to the foot of the altar, everyone will kneel and we will say the prayer, after which the final hymn will begin. Good things will come to our parish and our families by invoking the help of such a great protector and intercessor. It is important to remember that the recovery of traditions such as this prayer follows both the letter and the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. I had the privilege of being immersed in all the documents and the history of Vatican II during my graduate and doctoral studies at the Gregorian University. We went through the Council (as well as Vatican I and Trent) backwards and forwards, inside and out. Unfortunately, in the first couple decades after the council many things, often things liturgical, were done in the name of Vatican II or in the “spirit of Vatican II” that are found neither in its documents nor in its proper spirit. Often these things were done in good faith by well meaning people who were told, often by a priest or religious, “this is Vatican II”. Many things were done away with that should have continued. We see that more clearly now, and the St. Michael prayer is one such example. They say that it takes about 50 years to get a Council right. I think it’s very telling that Pope Francis himself has asked everyone in the Church to pray the St. Michael prayer, the rosary and the Sub tuum praesidium prayer (to Our Lady) during the month of October.

    APPARITIONS OF THE VIRGIN MARY IN MODERN EUROPEAN ROMAN CATHOLICISM (FROM 1830) Volume 2: Notes and bibliographical material by Christopher John Maunder Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds Department of Theology and Religious Studies AUGUST 1991 CONTENTS - VOLUME 2: Notes 375 NB: lengthy notes which give important background data for the thesis may be located as follows: (a) historical background: notes to chapter 1; (b) early histories of the most famous and well-documented shrines (La Salette, Lourdes, Pontmain, Beauraing, Banneux): notes (3/52-55); (c) details of criteria of authenticity used by the commissions of enquiry in successful cases: notes (3/71-82). Bibliography 549 Various articles in newspapers and periodicals 579 Periodicals specifically on the topic 581 Video- and audio-tapes 582 Miscellaneous pieces of source material 583 Interviews 586 Appendices: brief historical and bibliographical details of apparition events 587 -375- Notes NB - Format of bibliographical references. The reference form "Smith [1991; 100]" means page 100 of the book by Smith dated 1991 in the bibliography.

The first marian apparition is claimed by Zaragoza: AD 40 to St James. A more definite claim is that of Le Puy (AD 420). O'Carroll [1986; 1] notes that Gregory of Nyssa reported a marian apparition to St Gregory the Wonderworker ('Thaumaturgus') in the 3rd century, and Ashton [1988; 188] records the 4th-century marian apparition that is supposed to have led to the building of Santa Maria Maggiore basilica, Rome.

Save to your computer and extract by clicking on the filename. Foreword In our pluralistic age we recognize many traditions have special gifts to make to a rich, well-balanced spirituality for our time. My own life has shown me the spiritual tradition stemming from St. Dominic, like that from his contemporary St. Francis, provides ever fresh insights. No tradition, however, can be understood merely by looking at its origins. We must see it unfold historically in those who have been formed by that tradition in many times and situations and have furthered its development. To know its essential strength, we need to see it tested, undergoing deformations yet recovering and growing. Therefore, I have tried to survey its eight centuries to give some sense of its chronology and its individual personalities, and of the inclusive Dominican Family. I have aimed only to provide a sketch to encourage readers to use the bibliography to explore further, but with regret I have omitted all documentation except to indicate the source of quotations. Translated 1 quotations are mine. I thank Sister Susan Noffke, O.P., Fr. Thomas Donlan, O.P., for encouraging this project and my Provincial, Fr.

Perhaps this will be the effect of an excellent book on the subject (Our Lady of Beuuraing by Don Sharkey and. F'r. Joseph Debergh, O.M.I. ) which was recently awarded the Marian Library Medal. The present Marian Reprint has simply one purpose-to show that the apparitions at Beauraing, Belgiuh, have the char- acter of supernatural visions and, as such, have received the approbation of ecclesiastical authority. Four documents are presentd-the first, a pastoral letter commemorating the silver jubilee of the apparitions which took place in L932, and the three others, giving specific approval to the devotion to Our Lady of Beauraing and vouching for the supernatural character of the visions. We are grateful to Father Debergh, moderator of the Pro Marta Committee ( Lowell, Mass.

From the beginnings of human history, people have designated particular locations as sacred and traveled to them in a pilgrimage. When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 314 CE, Christian shrines emerged very soon at martyrs’ tombs and other places of historical importance in development of this religion. The distribution of physical relics created many of the Christian shrines in Western Europe. Popular belief concerning Mary began to evolve upon Jesus’ death; and in turn, most of these beliefs were adopted into Roman Catholic doctrine and became Mariology or Marianism, the veneration of Mary. In Western Europe, a number of shrines were created from an apparition of Mary to local people, and with any shrine’s approval by the institutional Church, it gained an international reputation and following; shrines not granted this approval by the Church have remained less internationally well-known and mostly locally based.
