| Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Church Page 2 Thoughts from Fr. Weldon

Litany of Loreto

There are many which have developed throughout the history of the Church. A is simply a list of praises or honors given to Our Lord, His Mother, or the Saints. This litany takes its name from the devotion to Our Lady in Loreto, Italy. Pious tradition says the Casa Santa, Holy House, of our Lady in Nazareth was brought to this town in Italy in 1294. Loreto became a popular pilgrimage site and the house remains inside of the Basilica della Santa Casa. This litany has a few different dates of origin. Definite copies are dated from 1558 in Germany and 1576 in Loreto. Yet, singing of titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary existed before this. An Irish historian dates a litany of Mary to 8th century Ireland. Irish monasticism was strong and so this has some credence. However, the oldest genuine text of a Marian litany is from the 12th Century in Mainz, Germany: “The Litany of Our Lady, Virgin Mary Mother of God.” This has a similar form to what we pray today.

Over the centuries, some invocations have been added or removed. For example, with the declaration of the Immaculate Conception of Mary by Pope Pius IX in 1854 was added “Queen conceived without original sin.” Yet, long before this, Spaniards and Italians used the phrase, Mater Intemerata, “Mother Untarnished.” In 1766 Clement XIII allowed the Spaniards to add Mater Immaculata, Immaculate Mother. In the Middle ages, due to conflicts with Islam, “Help of Christians” and “Ransom of Christians” were added to the litany. Coming off the reforms of the Council of Trent, 1563, Pope St. Pius V, (a Dominican), in 1571 attempted to “tidy up” the litany which caused the clergy at Loreto to fear that their beloved litany might be suppressed. It was not. St. Pius V tried to create a Litany of Mary based solely on Sacred Scripture. This did not catch on. Soon after a couple of popes relaxed this concern of Pius V, and there was a return of the classic Litany of Loreto. In 1615, the Dominicans at their annual chapter (council) mandated their convents and friaries to chant the litany on Saturdays, and prior to this they had already added “Queen of the Most Holy Rosary.” When and why pray this litany? Historically, it was prayed on the celebration of Marian feast days, usually sung at vespers prior to the feast and on Saturdays at Marian shrines. The present distress speaks to our need for the litany. Attested to in Venice, 15th century, and other cities, this litany was prayed with strong devotion during plagues, pestilence, pandemics and tribulations, especially during high mortality and asking for rain or fair weather. The emphasis for praying this was always during plagues and pestilence. This is one of the reasons I added this on to the rosary. The rosary is a great spiritual weapon for us. Neither priest nor lay faithful should go into spiritual battle without it. The Litany shows how our Lady is instrumental in so many areas of life and in salvation history. - Fr. Weldon

ST. MONICA, FEAST DAY AUGUST 27TH Everyone eventually experiences the death of a loved one. Most persons suffer the deaths of their parents. Many married people suffer the death of a spouse. Some parents tragically must bury their own children. When a Christian mourns the death of a loved one, he is called to mourn in faith: that is, to remember that through His own saving death and resurrection changed the meaning of death. For the Christian, death is not a brick wall but a doorway leading to a greater form of life. That truth doesn’t eliminate the mourner’s grief, but it does give the mourner hope. However, there is more than one type of death to mourn, as St. Monica reveals through her tears for her son Augustine. Worse than the death of the body is the death of the soul. The death of the body is only temporary, for at the end of time the body of the faithful will be raised by the power of God. But the death of the soul is everlasting. This is the death that St. Monica feared her wayward son would suffer. She prayed for decades that he would abandon his pursuit of fame and pleasure and instead pursue the Christian life.

“Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted” [Matthew 5:4]. Monica could not have imagined that God would respond to her prayers by making her son a saint. Nor can any Christian who mourns imagine in what form, when, or through whom that comfort might come. Nonetheless, the Christian mourner knows that only Jesus Christ can destroy the power of death over the body and the soul. Abiding in Him, through prayer and the sacraments, is the wellspring of life for ourselves and for those who lay in death.

"I ask everyone to intensify in coming months love and devotion to the Eucharistic Jesus and to express in a courageous and clear way the real presence of the Lord." - Pope Benedict XIV (4/20/2005)

ADORATION ANSWERS Question: What do I do for a whole hour? I can’t sit still that long. (Continued)

Answer: Now that you know about A.C.T.S. let’s talk about prayer helps & books to consider. The Bible. Learning about Christ and getting to know him personally always begins with the Bible. Don’t worry about reading it from start to finish. Dive into the Gospels and He will be revealed to you in these inspired words.

The lives of the saints are a way to be edified by the lives of normal people like you and me and how they answered Christ’s call to open their hearts through simple acts of love.

Say the Rosary. Spend time meditating on the mysteries of the life of Our Lord. Outside of Him, no one loves us more than our Blessed Mother. Turn to her and she will guide you closer to her Son.

There are a variety of little prayer books in the chapel. These small devotionals can make our hearts burn within us for love of God. It doesn’t take big and fancy books or devotions to grow closer to him.
