Fifty Four Day Novena FIFTY FOUR DAY NOVENA Origin In an apparition of Our Lady of Pompeii, which occurred in 1884 at Naples, in the house of Commander Agrelli, the heavenly Mother deigned to make known the manner in which she desires to be invoked. For thirteen months Fortuna Agrelli, the daughter of the Commander, had endured dreadful sufferings and torturous cramps. The most celebrated physicians had given up. On February 16, 1884, the afflicted girl and her relatives commenced a novena of Rosaries. The Queen of the Holy Rosary favoured her with an apparition on March 3rd. Mary, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, held the divine Child on her lap, and in her hand a Rosary. The Virgin Mother and the Holy Infant were clad in gold embroidered garments. They were accompanied by Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena. The throne was profusely decorated with flowers; the beauty of Our Lady was marvellous. Mary looked upon the sufferer with maternal tenderness and the patient saluted her with the words: “Queen of the Holy Rosary, be gracious to me; restore me to health! I have already prayed to thee in a novena O Mary, but have not yet experienced thy aid. I am so anxious to be cured!” “Child”, responded the Blessed Virgin, “thou hast invoked me by various titles and hast always obtained favours from me. Now, since thou hast called me by that title so pleasing to me, ‘Queen of the Holy Rosary’, I can no longer refuse the favour thou dost petition; for this name is most precious and dear to me. Make three novenas, and thou shalt obtain all”. Once more the Queen of the Holy Rosary appeared to her and said: “Whoever desires to obtain favours from me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving”. This miracle of the Rosary made a very deep impression on Pope Leo XIII, and greatly contributed to the fact that in so many circular letters, he urged all Christians to love the Rosary and say it fervently. Method The 54 Day Rosary Novena consists of five decades of the Rosary each day for 27 days in petition; then immediately five decades each day for 27 days in thanksgiving, whether or not the request has been granted. The meditations vary from day to day. On the first day meditate on the Joyful Mysteries; on the second day the Sorrowful Mysteries; on the third day the Glorious Mysteries and on the fourth day the Luminous Mysteries; and so on throughout the 54 days. Follow the format of the prayers for each of the mysteries as outlined in the guide below. This is an arduous novena but it is a novena of love. If you are sincere, you will not find it difficult to obtain your request. Should you not obtain the favour you seek, be assured that the Rosary Queen, who knows what each one stands most in need of, has heard your prayer. You will not have prayed in vain. No prayer ever went unheard and Our Blessed Lady has never been known to fail. Look upon each Hail Mary as a rare and beautiful rose which you lay at Mary’s feet. These spiritual roses, bound in a wreath with Spiritual Communions, will be a most pleasing and acceptable gift to her and will bring down upon you special graces. 2 Common Prayers The Sign of the Cross Ϯ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Glory Be Ϯ Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Amen. The Memorarevi Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

  • An Act of Spiritual Communion for Use at Home
    An Act of Spiritual Communion For use at Home Introduction Whenever anyone has been unable to receive Holy Communion, the tradition of the Church has been for them to make a ‘Spiritual Communion’. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote about this, saying we should have “an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament and a loving embrace as though we had already received Him”. In making our communion spiritually, we join with Christians everywhere to be fed by the one who tells us, ‘I am the Bread of Life’. You may wish to find a space for prayer in front of a cross, a candle or an icon. You might choose to make your Spiritual Communion at a particular time of the day or week, or after viewing a live streamed service. You may like to begin with the Prayer of Preparation: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known and from whom no secrets are hidden, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Preparation Reflect on the day and on your relationships. - What good things have come from God today? - Where have I fallen short? - What might I do tomorrow? Kyrie Eleison After a time of reflection the Kyrie is said: Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. The Word of God Read the following words from Scripture. Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’ John 6.35 You may like to choose a Bible passage and reflect on it or use the suggested reading from the ‘Red Letter Days’ calendar if it is a Sunday or a Feast Day.

  • SUNDAY EUCHARIST and Prayer for SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
    SUNDAY EUCHARIST AND Prayer for SPIRITUAL COMMUNION The FEAST OF ST. MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS September 27, 2020 CHRIST’S CHURCH CATHEDRAL, HAMILTON Worship lies at the heart of the Christian life. It is in worship that we express our theology and define our identity. It is through encountering God within worship that we are formed and transformed as the people of God. One of the glories of the Anglican Church is its liturgical worship. Liturgy refers to the patterns, forms, words and actions through which public worship is conducted. The people’s responses are in bold. This type of note, offering directions about the service is called a “rubric”, which comes from the Latin word rubrica (red) – referring to a time when these instructional notes were always written in red. As sojourners on this land, we acknowledge the heritage and history of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations at the time of the creation of the “Dish With One Spoon” wampum agreement. As partners with them and with all of God’s Creation, we honour and respect these nations. We walk together with all whom we meet here justly, mercifully and humbly. The Gathering of the Community When the service is accompanied by music, it often begins with an instrumental or vocal piece of music during which the congregation can prepare for worship. Today we celebrate those mysterious beings which Scripture calls “angels,” a name which comes from the Greek word for “messengers.” Messengers from God can be visible or invisible, and may take human or non-human forms. Christians have always felt themselves to be attended by healthful spirits — swift, powerful, and enlightening.

  • Act of Perfect Contrition & Spiritual Communion
    Perfect Contrition and Spiritual Communion What to do if you cannot go to Confession or Holy Communion due to the COVID-19 coronavirus If you have to self-isolate or are quarantined due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, it is unlikely that you will be able to receive the sacraments as normal. In these circumstances, there are devotions through which you can receive absolution for your sins, (under certain conditions), and the consolation of Eucharistic grace. These devotions are officially encouraged by the Church and have been practiced by saints. How to make an Act of Perfect Contrition Through an act of Perfect Contrition, you receive pardon for your sins outside of confession, even mortal sins, on condition that you determine to amend your life and make a firm resolution to go to sacramental confession as soon as this becomes possible for you. Perfect Contrition is a grace from God, so sincerely ask for this gift throughout the day prior to making your act of contrition: “My God, grant me perfect contrition for all my sins”. 1. In reality or imagination kneel at the foot of a crucifix and say to yourself: “Jesus, my God and my Saviour, in the midst of your agony, you remembered me, you suffered for me, you wished to wipe away my sins”. 2. Contrition is ‘perfect’ if you repent of your sins because you love God and are sorry for offending Him and causing the sufferings of Christ on the cross. Before the Crucified Christ remember your sins, repent of them because they have brought our Lord to His sufferings on the Cross.

  • Magnificat Celebration of the Word 4-5-2020
    CELEBRATION OF THE WORD Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord This is a celebration of the Word to aid your worship this Sunday, alone or with family. If possible, place a simple cross or crucifix prominently in the room and light one or more candles. You can also place an image of the Virgin Mary there if possible. As a family, choose the one who leads the prayer, and someone to do the readings. Whoever leads the prayer can say: On Palm Sunday, we recognize that Jesus’ full glory and kingship would only come about when he was lifted up. “Our heart feels a joy mixed with sadness at sight of the Master’s seemingly ephemeral triumph, prelude of suffering and death” (Archbishop Luis Martínez). But joy and sadness are dispositions of a holy soul. We can grieve over sin, suffering, and evil, but rejoice with the full conviction that faith gives us— Christ will conquer. Thus, our greatest sorrow and shame is our great relief—the Cross. Finally, Jesus’ experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, provides us strength to endure the caprices and injustices of our own life. Sign of the Cross After a moment of silence, let everyone begin by making the Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hymn Choose an appropriate hymn. We place ourselves before the Lord, beginning with an act of contrition: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and fai- ling to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
