    CELEBRATING THE MARIAN YEAR Devotional Celebrations in Honor of Mary, Mother of God (Minister's Edition) Taken from the USCCB Committee on the Liturgy Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary Introduction 54. "Both in the East and in the West the practice of depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary wearing a regal crown came into use in the era of the Council of Ephesus (A.D. 431).... It is especially from the end of the 16th century that in the West the practice became widespread for the faithful, both religious and laity, to crown images of the Blessed Virgin" (see Order of Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, nos. 3-4). 55. This service is intended for parish celebrations in which an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or one of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus, is to be crowned. The rite may be used appropriately as a part of May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary. 56. The service may be led by a priest, deacon, or lay person. 57. If there is to be a procession with the image of Mary, it should be well planned before the celebration begins. Appropriate Marian hymns may be sung during the procession and throughout the service (see no. 117 below). 8 CCH pew Peace/ChristCrowning Init an 7/31/02 Image 11:34 of theAM PageBlessed 311 Virgin Mary 58.

  • Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary
    Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary Leader: Come, let us worship Christ, the Son of Mary. Response: Let us give praise and thanks to the Lord as we keep this day in loving memory of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Leader: We gather today to crown this image of the mother of Jesus. As we acclaim Mary, the Mother of God, as our queen and as the Mother of the Church, let us imitate her example and be attentive to the Word of God. As we honor Mary, who is higher than the cherubim and yet like us, let us pray that through her intercession we may achieve holiness of life, and a deepened faith, hope, and love, as we seek to do the will of God in all things. Leader: Father, as your Son was raised on the cross, his mother Mary stood by him, sharing his sufferings. May your Church be united with Christ in his suffering and death and so come to share in his rising to new life, where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. All Respond: Amen Reading: John 19:25-27 Leader: Lord, we bless you, for you are full of mercy and justice. You humble the proud and exalt the lowly. All: You gave us the highest example of your divine wisdom in the mystery of the Word made flesh and of his virgin Mother. Leader: Your Son, humbled by death, rose glorious at your right hand, the King of all creation.

  • The Theology of the Doctrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
    THE THEOLOGY OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY INTRODUCTION THE purpose of this paper is to present some theological aspects of the cult of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The timeliness of the subject can be evaluated in the light of three important facts. (1) The apparitions of Fatima (1917) in which Our Lady requested world wide devotion to her Immaculate Heart. (2) The solemn Act of Consecration of the Church and the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Pope Pius XII on October 31, 1942, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of of the apparitions of Fatima. The same year, on December 8, the Sovereign Pontiff publicly renewed the Act of Consecration in the Basilica of St. Peter. (3) The institution of the universal feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be celebrated each year on the Octave day of the Assumption, August 22, as a double of the second class. This feast is to be a reminder of the solemn Act of Consecra- tion. Commenting on the unprecedented action of the Holy Father, His Eminence Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon, said: "This opens a new era in Christian spirituality—the era of the Immaculate Heart of Mary." 1 We shall divide our paper into two major parts. (1) The His- torical Background and (2) the Doctrinal Study. In the light of the history of the cult we can better understand its doctrinal founda- tions. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE CULT OF THE HEART OF MARY Although the history of the cult of the Immaculate Heart of Mary has been intimately bound up with the history of the cult of the 1 Postius, J.

My task will be to ascertain what the ancient Christian writers' wrote about1 the Queenship of Mary. Hence, I shall confine my invJstigation to the written monuments exclusively, making no m~ntion of other vestiges of revelation, such as the liturgy, arcHeological remains in the forms of catacomb paintings, sculpturet inscrip- tions, architecture, and the like.

  • Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary
    Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary This script was transcribed by the Office of Worship of the Diocese of Dallas (2014) to assist parishes and schools in planning and implementing a worthy celebration of Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This service is appropriate for both children and adults. It is advisable to collaborate with the music ministers so that the liturgy is participative and beautiful. Be judicious in selecting readings for this service: we suggest using readings from Marian feast days or solemnities. This service lends itself to any circumstance in which devotion and praise of the Mother of God is needed. It is not limited to the month of May. Recall that October is the month of the Holy Rosary, as another occasion for this Crowning. I. Introduction 54. “Both in the East and in the West the practice of depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary wearing a regal crown came into use in the era of the Council of Ephesus (AD 431)…It is especially from the end of the 16th century that in the West the practice became widespread for the faithful, both religious and laity, to crown images of the Blessed Virgin” (see Order of Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, nos. 3- 4). 55. This service is intended for parish celebrations in which an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or one with the Blessed Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus, is to be crowned. The rite may be used appropriately as part of May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
