  • Marian Consecration and Giving Us a 33-Day Plan to Prepare Our Souls for That Big Step

    Marian Consecration and Giving Us a 33-Day Plan to Prepare Our Souls for That Big Step

    33-Day Preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary Following the itinerary of Saint Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort with selections of writings from the Popes and Saints 1 Introduction Saint Louis de Montfort set forth a revolution of spirituality in teaching us about Marian consecration and giving us a 33-day plan to prepare our souls for that big step. What is this consecration? He described this consecration as being a form of “slavery” to Mary. Slavery means that we do nothing without her. We choose not to have a will apart from hers. He even invites us to wear a chain to signify that close bond with her. He elaborated the various consequences of that bond, saying that we share everything with her including our prayers, our intentions, our actions, and our merits. Fundamentally he is saying that we choose to become totally dependent on her: we receive everything through her and share everything with her. At first this sounds radical and may even sound a little scary or seem like a lot of work. As we come to understand the way the spirit of the world has infected our thinking, however, and as we get in touch with our own woundedness, we come to discover that this is a merciful gift from heaven. It is a sweet path of salvation. In fact, it is better than we could have ever hoped for! What it means is that there is a sweet, loving, perfect mother who actually wants to live in this kind of close relationship with us.

    August 16, 2020 • 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Holy Cross C A T H O L I C C HURCH 4810 Woolworth Avenue • Omaha, NE 68106 Rectory 4803 William Street www.holycrossomaha.org All-powerful and ever-living God, You raised the sinless Virgin Mary, Mother of your Son, body and soul to the glory of Heaven. May we see Heaven as our final goal and come to share her glory. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Question: Why does Mary have so many feast days and names? Answer: Christians first began celebrating feast days in honor of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in the fifth century. That celebration (originally called the Feast of the Dormition and now known by Roman Catholics as the Solemnity of the Assumption) was celebrated on August 15. Very soon, however, other special days dedicated to Mary began to appear in Jerusalem, Rome, and other major cities of the Christian world. These days of feasting became important parts of the life of the community. But, more importantly, each of these unique celebrations became an opportunity to focus on a different facet of the Christian faith, as believers focused their attention on specific events or mysteries of the lives of Mary and her Son. Over the centuries, some of these celebrations became universal (such as the Assumption on Au- gust 15, the Immaculate Conception on December 8, and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on January 1).

I found a Wikipedia page about the Titles of Mary that were more numerous that I realized. The titles differ from early titles to devotional titles to those associated with images or apparitions. Yes, I did eventually find that in the Roman Catholic Church she has the title of Our Lady of Peace, Mother of Peace, Queen of Peace or Our Lady Queen of Peace.

    Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary

    Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort’s Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary Choose a day for the Consecration To begin, choose the date of a Marian Feast on which to make the consecration. Whichever Feast you choose will determine the date to begin a 33-day period of spiritual preparation, i.e., you follow spiritual exercises for 33 days, and the next day will be the Marian Feast on which you consecrate yourself. Below is a list of Marian Feasts which are the same on both the traditional and Novus Ordo calendars: Feast / Start of Marian Feast You've Chosen Consecration 33-day Plan Day Apparition of the Immaculate 9 Jan 11 Feb Virgin Mary at Lourdes 20 Feb 1 The Annunciation 25 Mar 13 Jun Our Lady of Mt.

The Feast of the Annunciation is the Feast that St. Louis de Montfort recommends most of all as it is this Feast that commemorates God Himself taking on flesh and, thereby, subjecting even Himself to trust in and dependency on Our Lady Recommendation: To read St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary either before beginning the Consecration or in conjunction with it. Begin the 33-Day Preparation for Consecration Now begins the 33-day period of exercises.
  • Blessed Virgin Mary St

    Blessed Virgin Mary St

    Blessed Virgin Mary St. Thomas Church RCIA Mary and Jesus • Mary was called to become the mother of Jesus. • Special bond between Mary and Jesus. • She was predestined for this honor. • Foreshadowing in the Old Testament: • Disobedience of Eve • Sarah, mother of Isaac • Hannah, mother of Samuel • “The Virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Emmanuel” (Is 7:14). Sinless Virgin Mary • She was conceived without sin in order to prepare her for her role. • The Archangel Gabriel addressed her “full of grace.” • Proclamation in 1854. • Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. • Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but he had not yet taken her into his home. Common Objections The most common objections you will hear: 1. Catholics worship the Mary. 2. If she was conceived without sin, then she didn’t need to be saved. 3. Mary can’t be ever-virgin if Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary as Virgin and Mother • Mary was the first to believe when she consented to God’s plan. • She is the Mother of Jesus and therefore Mother of God (Ephesus, 431). • She was a faithful disciple, standing at the foot of the cross. • From the cross, she became the Mother of the Beloved Disciple and the Mother of the Church. • As ever-virgin, her entire life was an undivided gift to God. • Being virgin and mother is a fundamental mystery of Mary’s life. Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary • The Rosary is made up of beads on which are said prayers like the Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Hail Holy Queen.

    REMEMBER, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, That Never Was It Known That

    August 15, 2021 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Do you ever feel like you could use some help approaching God in your prayers? The Memorare is a prayer that reminds us that we have a wonderful advocate and protector in the mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary, pictured at right. In our prayers to her we honor and worship her Son, who is more than happy to listen to His mother’s pleas on our behalf. The Memorare, printed below, invites us to ask the Blessed Mother for her assistance and her grace, especially when we feel most troubled in our daily lives. REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy inter- cession was left unaided. Inspired with this confi- dence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sor- rowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. The actual author of the Memorare is unknown. It has been traditionally attributed to the abbot St. Bernard of Clairvaux from the 12th century. This is possibly because it was championed byanotherBernard, the French priest Claude Bernard, who used it extensively in his ministry to the poor and to prisoners (including some quite hardened criminals!) in the 17th century. Claude Bernard credited reciting the Memorare with curing him of a serious illness. He had some 200,000 copies of the prayer printed up and distributed in leaflets in various languages during his lifetime.
