AMVON PRAYER in anticipation of annual MARCH FOR LIFE in Washington, D.C., January 22, 2009 O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, Who are in the bosom of the Father, True God, source of life and immortality, Light of Light, Who came into the world to enlighten it: You were pleased to be conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary for the salvation of our souls by the power of Your All-Holy Spirit. O Master, Who came that we might have life more abundantly, we ask You to enlighten the minds and hearts of those blinded to the truth that life begins at conception and that the unborn in the womb are already adorned with Your image and likeness; enable us to guard, cherish, and protect the lives of all those who are unable to care for themselves. For You are the Giver of Life, bringing each person from non-being into being, sealing each person with divine 3 and infinite love. Be merciful, O Lord, to those who, through ignorance or willfulness, affront Your divine goodness and providence through the evil act of abortion. May they, and all of us, come to the life of Your Truth and glorify You, the Giver of Life, together with Your Father, and Your All-Holy and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. ЧИТАННЯ ІЗ СВЯТОГО ПИСЬМА : НИНІ: 18 СІЧНЯ , 2009 Р.Б.: В 36-ТУ НЕДІЛЮ ПІСЛЯ П’ЯТИДЕСЯТНИЦІ .

  • Marion Feast Days and Devotions
    Marion Feast Days and Devotions Marian Feasts Included in the Roman Calendar There are dozens of Marian Feast days, although at this time, only six are included in the current Roman Calendar. The most prominent Marian feast days in the Post Vatican II General Roman Calendar are the Solemnities, or First Class Feasts. These feasts are sometimes Holy Days of Obligation if they fall on a weekday and if they fall on a Sunday, they take precedence over the Sunday liturgy. Solemnities in the Post-Vatican II calendar generally correspond to First Class Feasts in the Tridentine calendar. Solemnities and First Class Marian Feasts Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Jan 1/Oct 11) — Traditional feast honoring the motherhood of Mary in certain areas was extended to the entire Church by adding it to the Roman Calendar. It was commemorated by Pius XI in 1931 on the 1500's anniversary of the Council of Ephesus that declared Mary 'Theotokos', the mother of God. The date of the feast was raised to a solemnity (1st class) in 1969 when it was combined with the feasts of the Circumcision of Our Lord on January 1st. Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (March 25) — The feast of the Incarnation commemorates the announcement of Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that the son of God would take human form. Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (May 31/July 2) — The feast of the Visitation commemorates the Virgin Mary visit with her cousin Elizabeth. Historically, it was celebrated on July 2, but in the post-Vatican II calendar it was moved to May 31st.
