National Marriage Week is celebrated from February 7-14. This year’s theme is "Stories from the Domestic Church." Every family is called to be a place of prayer, service, and love—a “little Church of the home.” Families naturally do this in their day-to-day lives: “The spirituality of family love is made up of thousands of small but real gestures” (Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia, no. 315). They do this by strengthening the bonds of love among their members, and by asking the Lord’s presence into their homes. Check out www.foryourmarriage.org for more tips, prayers and blogs that promote healthy Catholic marriages. #MarriageWeek Almighty and eternal God, You blessed the union of married couples “ Marriage is something so that they might reflect the union of Christ so beautiful and so with his Church: look with kindness on wonderful that we them. Renew their marriage covenant, increase your love in them, have to look after it, because it is forever.” they may always rejoice in - Pope Francis, February 2014 the gift of your blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen The marriage week content was originally published on USCCB’s For Your Marriage website.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

  • S OK Not to Like Some Devotions —
    It’s OK not to like some devotions — here’s why Although you may never mention it to anyone, it’s not some dirty little secret or large fault to not like some Catholic devotions. They may not appeal to you and, more importantly, when you give them an honest try, you don’t find them spiritually helpful. Perhaps — yikes! — you even find them a little annoying or burdensome. Devotions mandated in Scripture This isn’t to say Catholicism is a make-it-up-yourself kind of religion with do-it-yourself theology. Not at all. So let’s start by pointing out some hard-and-fast basic devotions that all Catholics practice: The Eucharist and the other sacraments: “Do this in memory of me” (Lk 22:19). The Blessed Virgin Mary: “Behold your mother” (Jn 19:27). The Our Father: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Lk 11:1). Private prayer: “He went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone” (Mt 14:23). Scripture: “He interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures” (Lk 24:27). Dogma: “Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Mt 18:18). So what’s missing? All the wonderful devotions and practices that the Church has created since the end of apostolic times. (That is, the death of the last apostle who, tradition says, was John.) Some of those devotions and practices have been, and remain, hugely popular and incredibly helpful to countless people.

  • What Is the Angelus? “The Angel of the Lord Declared Unto Mary…” D.D. Emmons the Catholic Answer
    What Is the Angelus? “The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary…” D.D. Emmons The Catholic Answer 4/4/2011 Among our many Catholic devotions, few are more beautiful or have been contemplated more often than the Angelus. Designed to commemorate the mystery of the Incarnation and pay homage to Mary’s role in salvation history, it has long been part of Catholic life. Around the world, three times every day, the faithful stop whatever they are doing and with the words “The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary” begin this simple yet beautiful prayer. But why do we say the Angelus at all, much less three times a day? A review of Church history shows that this devotion did not appear suddenly, but developed over several centuries. Called By the Bell Most Church historians agree that the Angelus can be traced back to 11th- century Italy, where Franciscan monks said three Hail Marys during night prayers, at the last bell of the day. Over time, pastors encouraged their Catholic flocks to end each day in a similar fashion by saying three Hail Marys. In the villages, as in the monasteries, a bell was rung at the close of the day reminding the laity of this special prayer time. The evening devotional practice soon spread to other parts of Christendom, including England. Toward the end of the 11th century, the Normans invaded and occupied England. In order to ensure control of the populace, the Normans rang a curfew bell at the end of each day reminding the locals to extinguish all fires, get off the streets and retire to their homes.

    hen someone mentions “Catholic devotions,” perhaps you think of a group of little Wold ladies gathered in the church to pray the Rosary. Or maybe you remember your own parents’ prayers to a particular saint years ago. But devotions do not have to be just for old ladies or a thing of the past. They can be an enriching part of your faith life and an inspiring part of your personal prayer practice today. Devotions are meaningful ways we can engage in prayer to Jesus, Mary, and the saints—beyond how we honor God with our words and actions through- outSAMPLE our busy days. They are not meant to replace the liturgy but to extend it into our daily lives. Indeed, the life of the church centers on the lit- urgy. The Second Vatican Council teaches us that “the liturgyTwenty-Third is the summit toward which the activ- ©ity of the church is directed; at the same time it is Twenty-ThirdPublications Publications, a Division of Bayard, One Montauk Avenue, Suite 200, New London, CT 06320, (860) 437-3012 or (800) 321-0411, www.twentythirdpublications.com.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction This Book Is Written for Anyone Who Has Ever Wondered What the Bible Really Teaches About Mary, the Mothe
    Chapter 1 Introduction This book is written for anyone who has ever wondered what the Bible really teaches about Mary, the mother of Jesus. In particular, it is written for those who have been puzzled by, struggled with, or rejected Catholic beliefs about Mary as unbiblical—if not idolatrous. I should know. I was one of them. Here’s how the story goes . The Problem with Mary When I was growing up, I had no problem believing what the Catholic Church teaches about Mary. I was born into a Catholic family, baptized as an infant, and raised in predominantly Catholic South Louisiana. Every Sunday, I attended a Catholic church that had several statues of Mary. On special occasions, I lit a candle and would ask Mary to pray for me. One of my earliest memories is of my mother taking my brothers and me to pray the Rosary with my grandmother and great-grandmother. While the women prayed, we boys would sit on the floor playing and listening and—if memory serves—getting pretty bored. However, by the time I was seven or eight years old, my older brother and I had picked up the practice for ourselves. Believe it or not, we boys used to kneel beside our beds at night for thirty to forty minutes while we read the Bible verses and said the prayers in a little book called The Scriptural Rosary. In the years that followed I would come to learn the basic teachings of the Catholic Church regarding Mary: that she was a virgin when she conceived Jesus (the virginal conception) and that she remained a virgin her whole life long (perpetual virginity).

  • Some Simple Suggestions for Prayer During This Time of Anxiety
    SOME SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS FOR PRAYER DURING THIS TIME OF ANXIETY It is true for everyone, but certainly so for people of faith, that it is important to take all necessary precautions, observe governmental directives and to take the medical situation seriously, but at the same time to be calm and not to panic Above all, let us also not forget the importance of PRAYER. Our Catholic faith is very practical: we know well how it can help us navigate through tough and anxious times. We know too how important it can be to help our children and young people pray and to pay with them, especially in the disruptive and worrying situation they are experiencing at the moment. We also want to pray for others: for those who have died or are sick with the virus and for their families and friends, for all those who care for them, for medical professionals, for scientists working for a vaccine, and for all those who are afraid during this time of uncertainty. Here are a few easy and practical suggestions for prayers at home in this difficult time: • As an individual or as a family, if you cannot get to Mass on a weekend or during the week (or even if you can!), take a little time to read through the Scripture readings of the day. Various publications, apps or websites can give you these. Then spend a few minutes reflecting upon them with some questions in mind: What is the message in the reading? Do I live up to the message? What resolution can I make to live the message better? Then offer some prayers and petitions.
