Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary For the 26th consecutive year, parishioners of St. Agnes are preparing for the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary, as developed by St. Louis Marie de Mont- fort. The 33-day period of preparation begins on Thursday, August 6th (the Feast of the Trans- figuration of our Lord). The prayers are said personally and individually, and culminates on Monday, September 7th, with the vigil of the Nativity of The Blessed Mother. The Mass and Consecration on Sun- day, September 13th* will, however, be public for all who are prepared to make their Consecration. St. Louis Marie de Montfort—the proponent of this True Devotion to Jesus through Mary—proposed that, “the faithful consecration to Jesus through Mary is an effective way of living out our Baptismal commitment. It is giving ourselves entirely to the Blessed Virgin, in order to belong entirely to Jesus through her.” Mary is the most conformed to Jesus—and that the more one is consecrated to her, the more one is consecrated to Jesus. *Sunday, Sept 13th is the Sunday that follows the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is Sept 8th. The Preparation for Total Consecration according to Sunday schedule allows for extra time for those making a St. Louis Marie de Montfort will be available for sale at Consecration this year. the rectory office beginning July 15, 2020. In July, we remember the Most Precious Blood of our Lord… “We must let it be known how the Blood of Christ cleanses the souls and sanctifies them, particularly by means of the sacraments.” -St. Gaspar del Bufalo, founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Thursday, July 16th is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. This popular devotion is most associated with the Sabbatine Privilege - the promise of the release from purgatory on the 1st Saturday after one's death, for those who die wearing the scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Mount Carmel, located in Palestine, is said to be where the descendants from the Prophet Elias had a religious Order and were visited by Our Lady during her lifetime on Earth. On July 16, 1251, she appeared to the Carmelite Prior-General, St. Simon Stock, holding in her hand the Brown Scapular and said, “Receive, my beloved son, this Habit. Whosoever dies clothed in this shall not suffer eternal fire!” The Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been endorsed countless times through- out the history of the Church. St. Pius IX stated, “This most extraordinary gift of the Scapular from the Mother of God to St. Simon Stock brings its great usefulness not only to the Carmel- ite Family of Mary, but also to all the rest of the faithful who wish, affiliated to that Family, to follow Mary with a very special devotion.” Note: Although it is currently closed, scapulars are always available for purchase at the St. Agnes bookstore. If you are looking to be enrolled (formally blessed, having received the scapular and promising to wear it according to Our Lady’s wishes), please contact the rectory office.
