  • The Mysteries of the Rosary
    MARY ALWAYS LEADS US TO JESUS The Mysteries of the Rosary Excerpts taken from article originally published in Columbia Magazine November 2011 IN THE ROSARY, MARY LEADS US TO HER SON AS WE MEDITATE ON THE MYSTERIES OF SALVATION Our Lady of Guadalupe invites us to pray for one another in a spirit of charity, unity and fraternity. The rosary is always in season, for it helps us enter more deeply into the central mysteries of our faith that we celebrate in the liturgy throughout the year. The rosary is always in season, for it helps us enter more deeply into the central mysteries of our faith that we celebrate in the liturgy throughout the year. With that in mind, I shall offer in the coming months a series on the Luminous Mysteries, given to us by Blessed Pope John Paul II. Let us first recall what John Paul II taught us about the rosary itself. Toward the end of his papacy, he issued an apostolic letter titled The Rosary of the Virgin Mary. We can draw from it a deeper understanding of the rosary, along with a renewed resolve to pray it each day and to teach our families to do so. CONTEMPLATING THE CREED We begin the rosary by holding in our hands a small crucifix while praying the Apostles’ Creed. This is a clue to the whole meaning of the rosary, a prayer that contemplates all that Christ did for our salvation. The Creed is not only a summary of the foundational truths of our Catholic faith; it is also a proclamation of God’s saving deeds, revealed and accomplished by Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • My Roman Days] Tom Tucker [P 1963]
    I Miei Giorni Romani [My Roman Days] Tom Tucker [P 1963] Preface: I am writing this at the age of 73. It’s been fifty years since I returned from my studies in Rome. They were marvelous years of growth and maturity. At the same time, I often thought of some more whimsical and touching experiences that happened to me during those years. These are some of those experiences that I want to share with you. I. “I don’t even like Wine! (April 1965) It was a lovely spring day at the end of April, 1965 in Honesdale, Pennsylvania at Kilroe Seminary. We were at lunch. The provincial council was visiting and they had finished up their meetings that morning. After lunch ended, Fr. Peter Miller, scj, the Provincial Superior got up to make some announcements about some decisions the Council had made. As he finished up, he paused and almost as an afterthought he said, “oh yes, Frater Tom Tucker will begin his studies in Philosophy in Rome this coming September”...and sat down. My life had suddenly changed…and for the better as it worked out. I was in shock and all I remember saying was, “I don’t even like wine.” Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be going to Rome. Other scholastics had been sent to Rome for studies over the years. But, me? I tried without success to find out how this happened and what it meant. I had not even been asked if I would like to study there.

    Marian Thoughts of Pope Francis September 2018 September 2 – Angelus –Translated conclusion (September 1, 2018, Vatican.va). May the example and intercession of the Virgin Mary help us to always honour the Lord with our heart, witnessing to our love for him in concrete choices for the good of our brothers and sisters. September 5 – General Audience –Translated extract (September 5, 2028, Zenit.org). This choice is the Virgin Mary’s “fiat”, it’s openness to the Holy Spirit, who puts us in the steps of Christ, He who entrusts himself to the Father in the most dramatic moment and thus enters the way that leads to resurrection. September 6 – Audience (International Convention for Consecrated Widows) –Translated conclusion (September 6, 2018, Zenit.org). With this hope, I entrust you to the Lord and, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, I impart to you my Apostolic Blessing, which I extend to those who are part of the Fraternité Notre Dame de la Résurrection and of the Communauté Anne la Prophetesse. September 9 – Audience (To Participants at the Communio Internationalis Benedictinarum Symposium) –Translated extract (September 9, 2018, Zenit.org). You bring a precious gift to the life of the Church through your feminine witness of goodness, faith, and generosity, imitating the Holy Mother of the Church, the Virgin Mary.

LOUIS-MARIE DE MONTFORT’S TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY Name: Seeger, Mary Olivia University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Elizabeth Groppe The purpose and content of my thesis is to investigate and assess how St. Louis- Marie de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary contributes to a renewal of Marian devotion in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. My thesis focuses on a close reading of the primary texts of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort (True Devotion to Mary), the Second Vatican Council (Lumen Gentium, the Constitution on the Church), and St. John Paul II (Redemptoris Mater). As part of my theological method, I renewed my Marian consecration and interviewed four other people who currently practice Marian devotion.

  • THE APOSTLES of the LAST TIMES in MONTFORT and TODAY Taken from the Thesis By: Father Andrea D'ascanio Ofm Cap at the Marianum Pontificial Faculty of Theology in Rome
    Edited by Armata Bianca THE APOSTLES OF THE LAST TIMES IN MONTFORT AND TODAY Taken from the thesis by: Father Andrea D'Ascanio ofm cap At the Marianum Pontificial Faculty of Theology in Rome Edited by: ARMATA BIANCA Via Sant'Apollonia, 8 Cas. Post. 135 67100 L'Aquila (Italy) www.armatabianca.org [email protected] Translation of the Ecclesiastical Permission on the opposite page: Diocese of Ibarra According to can. 827 par. 3, the Reverend Father Andrea D'Ascanio ofm cap has submitted to my examination the book he has written “The apostles of the last times in Montfort and today”. After carefully examining the content of this work, which was supervised by Prof. Stefano De Fiores, I do not find in it anything contrary to the faith and morals of the Catholic Church. Moreover, I believe this work can help to effectively spread the devotion to the Most Blessed Virgin according to the writings of St. Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort and give a positive contribution on controversial topics of Mariology and eschatol- ogy concerning which there is often confusion among the faithful. Regarding the above, I grant permission to publish this book.

  • Blessed Louis Marie Grignion De Montfort
    BLESSED LOUIS MARIE GRIGNION DE MONTFORT MARK HEATH, O.P. II: The Man and the Book of the True Devotion HERE was one thing in which Blessed de Montfort was not like St. Dominic: his size. Dominic, according to X-ray [I pictures of his · coffin was five feet five inches in height; Louis was more nearly six feet six. St. Dominic was thin and wiry; de Montfort was large, brawny and strong. He had in­ herited from his father a very strong and robust body. Often when he directed the building of churches, he was known to move timber and stones which were too heavy for the peasants with whom he worked and to whom he preached. On one occasion while preaching in a town square he was inter­ rupted and annoyed by a crowd of drinkers. They were seated at a table near the place where he was preaching and were singing and shouting. They were so loud and boisterous that the audience could not follow the sermon. De Montfort noticed this, and walking over to the men, seized the tables one by one, and turned them over. The crocks and bottles went scattering to the ground; the drinkers, to the nearest cover as fast as their legs would take them. Blessed Louis returned and placidly continued his sermon. Yet despite his great strength and fine physique, the effect of grace on his character was to make him gentle and mild. "I should have been the terror of France were it not for grace" he once said of himself.

  • Saint Louis De Montfort Worksheet
    Name _____________________________________ Date _______________ Saint Louis de Montfort Directions: Read the biography and answer the questions. Born in 1673 in France, Saint Louis de Montfort is best known for his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a seminary student he lived among the very poor in Paris and preached about the Gospel to them. He was ordained as a priest in 1700 and worked in a parish even though he wished to travel to North America to become a missionary. He longed to become a preacher so he joined the Dominicans, who were known for their preaching and for their devotion to the Rosary. He founded groups dedicated to the Rosary and led retreats inspired by a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Clement XI appointed him as an Apostolic Missionary in France and he travelled throughout France preaching parish missions and leading retreats. He then founded the Company of Mary and the Daughters of Wisdom. During his travels he found time to write his well-known books: True Devotion to Mary, The Secret of Mary, and the Secret of the Rosary. His preaching was not always well received; in fact, he was poisoned on one occasion and his health deteriorated. He died at the age of only 43 while preaching his final mission. 1.
