Call the Office and we can help with alternate ways connect you to bulletin information May May is a month that the Catholic Church has consecrated to our mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. People pray the rosary, crown Mary, or have a personal and special devotion to the mother of God. Also, we celebrate our Mother’s Day, and ask to Mary, our heavenly mother, to intercede not only for our mothers, but for all mothers in the world. The Blessed Virgin Mary has been present in human history through her different apparitions. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of the Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Snow, Our Lady of the Milk, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of Graces, Our Lady of La Salette, Our Lady of Knock, Our Lady of the Good Event, Our Lady of Laus, Our La- dy of Good Help, Our Lady of Pontmain, Our Lady of Hope, Our Lady of Gietrzwałd, etc., are some of the apparitions of our Blessed Virgin throughout the world. They are manifestations of God’s love to us regardless the culture, nationality, language, or race. For this reason, this month is consecrated to Mary, so that all human- kind can praise the Lord through the presence of our Blessed Mother. In addition, May is not only a month consecrated exclusively to our mother. May 1st is the day of St. Joseph, the worker. St. Joseph, as all of us know, is the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He was always protecting her, and the child Jesus in Nazareth. With this celebration of St. Joseph, the worker, we are praying for all the work- ers around the world, and for their dignity as human beings. Let us pray for all the workers have a fair wage and all the benefits that they need. Let us pray also for many people who lost their jobs because of this pandemic or any another reason. Let us pray for many men and women who have not found any job. Let us consecrate these people and ourselves to St. Joseph, the worker, so we can have a quality life with fair wages and can have a life according to the human dignity that God gave us. Let us pray: “O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and de- velop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all with purity of inten- tion and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents unused, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Saint Joseph. Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death. Amen.” – Pope St. Pius X May the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, the worker, be with each one of us. God bless you! Fr.

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.

Robert Maloy, S.M., who was then the director of this special collection. While primarily a history outlining the developments of the library's first twenty-five years, the report is likewise intended to evaluate some ofthe activities undertaken and to indicate some possible endeavors for the future. This will account for the occasional paragraphs of "editorial comment" that appear at various points. The writer had still another end in mind: to acknowledge the debt of gratitude owed to those who, in so many different ways, have shown a personal interest in the library's continued growth. A few of these colla­ borators will be mentioned by name. There are, however, countless others whose generosity has made it possible for the library to move ahead and to achieve some significant goals.

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.

    then on, she suffered a mystical crucifixion from Thursday to Saturday morning. From 1664 to 1684 many contradictions arose at the shrine of Laus, especially among the clergy who were Jansenists—priests who were too strict, and who believed that Communion should only be taken once a year. For fifteen years Benoite was under house arrest and was permitted only Sunday Mass. The devil even raised up false visionaries to deceive people. But Benoite’s guardian angel told her: “There will always be trouble at Laus until there are Religious established here.” Benoite was often tormented by the demons in Hell for the sake of conversion of sinners, but she also was very familiar with her guardian angel. He helped her all the time and often he opened the door of the church for her and said the Rosary with her. He also corrected her faults. Mary stopped appearing to Benoite for part of each month so the devil cried out: “She has forsaken you!” but Benoit paid no attention to the devil. Benoite continued on with her mission and when she was seventy-one she got a burning fever, which consumed her. She was in bed for one month before her death. On Christmas Day, 1718, she asked pardon of all those she had offended and asked for Holy Viaticum. Suddenly Our Lady appeared to her. On December 28th, she begged to receive the Last Rites. Later, around 8:00 in the evening, during the praying of the Litany of the Child Jesus, she October, the Month of the Rosary passed away in joy.
