Mary Mother of GOD 15 Promises of the Virgin Mary to those who recite the Rosary . May 10 – Our Lady of the Holy House of Nazareth
(Dalmatia, 1291)
The holy house of Nazareth on the shores of the Adriatic Sea Towards the end of the thirteenth century,
the terrible news that the Holy Land was lost to the Christians reached
Europe. Nonetheless, while the Church was deploring this painful loss,
a new joy was given to them: the holy house of Nazareth—place of the birth
of the Mother of God, of her early education and of the Annunciation by
the Angel Gabriel of the wondrous news of the Incarnation of the Son of
God—had been found, transported miraculously, near Tersatz in Dalmatia on
May 10, 1291.
After the residents of the region talked
among themselves of the remarkable little house surmounted by a bell
tower, their bishop—cured from a lingering illness—suddenly appeared
in their midst. He had prayed to be able to go see the prodigy for himself,
and the Mother of God had appeared to him, saying,
“My son, you called me; I am here to give
you powerful assistance and reveal to you the secret you desire to know.
The holy dwelling is the very house where I was born. It is there that
when the announcement was brought by the Archangel Gabriel, I conceived
the divine Child by the operation of the Holy Spirit…”
Then, after three years and seven months spent in Dalmatia, the holy house disappeared and was again transported by angels to rest in Loreto, Italy. The exact date was December 10, 1294. An initiative of the Association Mary of Nazareth Adapted from: www.magnificat.ca Called in the Gospel "the Mother of Jesus," Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son, as "the Mother of my Lord" (Lk 1:43; Jn 2:1; 19:25; cf. Mt 13:55; et al.). In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father's eternal Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly "Mother of God" (Theotokos). Catechism of the Catholic Church 495, quoting the Council of Ephesus (431): DS 251. Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife. -- Pope St. Leo the Great
May 10 - Our Lady of the Holy House of Nazareth (Dalmatia, 1291) The Holy Spirit infinitely enlarged Mary's heart Mary was hailed by the Angel Gabriel as
a creature already "filled with grace" (Lk I: 28). Then what could
possibly be added to that fullness? Nothing that we can conceive of.
But in God's mind, she was still on the threshold of the holiness he
was calling her to (…).
Jesus Christ, from the time he was an infant,
grew in wisdom and grace according to his holy humanity (Lk 2:52): it was
no different for Mary. Jesus himself, by the many trials that he imposed on
her, was the occasion of her ever increasing sanctification. The great sacrifice
she made at the foot of the cross seems to have brought her holiness to the
maximum. We cannot imagine anything beyond that.
But who are we to place limits to the perfection
God intended for Mary? (…) The Holy Spirit, her spouse, wanted to enrich
her beyond any measure (…) and since he is the infinite love of the Father
and the Son, he somehow made the heart of Mary immense, so that she would
be filled with it as much as a pure creature can be.
(…) Indeed, it was her love for her Son, and for men who are now her children, that propelled Christianity even more than all the works of the Apostles and the ministers of the Church. Father Grou www.spiritualite-chretienne.com May 10 - Our Lady of Saussaie (Paris, 1305) In One Hand a Rosary, in the Other, a Pen The entire Rosary has the beauty of reproducing
the theological thoughts concerning Mary; they are reproduced in the
entire dialectic of truth and deduction. Marian theology and the Rosary
are two poems that are united into one, two hymns forming one hymn,
two magnificent temples, and two cathedrals of thought and piety that
come together as one...
Here in the Rosary, piety speaks in the
language of theologians. Here meditation rises to the heights attained
by scholars. Here prayer dwells where the scholars are brought to a
halt. Marian theology and the Rosary are therefore similar to two temples
having at the same height their pinnacles and spires.
The people of God in the Church have found
the Rosary, its Book of Psalms. The clergy have the Divine Office,
the people have the Rosary. Like The Divine Comedy, the Rosary is a
trilogy: it recalls the joys, sorrows, and triumphs of Jesus and in perfect
symmetry, for each part has five chants, and each chant in turn is an
episode.
The Rosary could very well be called the
poem of human redemption. The Rosary is a poem that takes its lively
but simplistic hues from the pure palette of the Gospel; while at the
same time it draws its logical ties, its harmonious responses, and its
entire intimate dialectic from the highest theology.
Blessed Bartolo Longo (d. 1926May 10 - Feast of the Madonna della S. Casa Nazaretana (Dalmatia, 1291) Jesus Will Reign Through Mary (IV) Say with the saints:
De Maria nunquam satis. We have still not praised, exalted, honored,
loved and served Mary adequately. She is worthy of even more praise, respect,
love and service. Repeat after the Holy
Spirit, "All the glory of the King's daughter is within", meaning
that all the external glory which heaven and earth vie with each other
to give her is nothing compared to what she has received interiorly
from her Creator, namely, a glory unknown to insignificant creatures
like us, who cannot penetrate into the secrets of the King.
Finally, we must cry out with the apostle Paul, "What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualize” - the beauty, greatness and excellence of Mary, the miracle of miracles of grace, nature and glory. "If you would like to understand the Mother," a saint said, "then understand the Son. She is a worthy Mother of God." Hic taceat omnis lingua: Here let every tongue be silent. Saint Louis Grignion de

Dear Lord, grant us a
spirit that is not bound by our own ideas and preferences. Grant that
we may be able to appreciate in others what we lack in ourselves. O
Lord, grant that we may understand that every saint must be a unique praise
of Your glory. Catholic saints are holy people and human
people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church
honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts.
God calls each one of us to be a saint in order to get
into heaven: only saints are allowed
into heaven. The more "extravagant" graces are bestowed NOT for the
benefit of the recipients so much as FOR the benefit of others.

THE
PSALTER OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
MARY PSALM
1 O Lady, I have cried to thee, hear me: incline unto my prayer and to my supplication. Let my supplication be directed as incense before thy face: both in the time of the evening sacrifice and in the morning. Let not my heart turn aside into spiteful words: and let not the thought of wickedness upset my mind. Make me submissive to the good pleasure of thy heart: and let me be conformed to thy actions. With the sword of understanding pierce my heart: and with the dart of charity inflame my mind. Let every spirit praise Our Lady Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost as it was in the beginning and will always be. |

The
great
psalm
of
the
Passion,
Chapter
22,
whose
first
verse
“My
God, my
God,
why hast
thou forsaken
me?”
Jesus pronounced on the cross, ended with the vision: “All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him” For kingship belongs to the LORD, the ruler over the nations. All who sleep in the earth will bow low before God; All who have gone down into the dust will kneel in homage. And I will live for the LORD; my descendants will serve you. The generation to come will be told of the Lord, that they may proclaim to a people yet unborn the deliverance you have brought. |

The

the
Holy Spirit

THE
spirit
and example
of
the world
imperceptibly
instil
the
error
into
the
minds
of many
that
there
is a kind
of middle
way
of going
to Heaven;
and
so, because
the world
does
not live
up to
the gospel,
they bring
the
gospel
down to the
level
of the world.
It
is not by
this example
that
we are
to measure
the
Christian
rule,
but
words and
life of
Christ.
All His
followers
are commanded
to
labour to
become
perfect
even
as our heavenly
Father
is perfect,
and to bear
His image
in our hearts
that
we may
be His children.
We are obliged
by the gospel
to die
to ourselves
by fighting
self-love
in
our hearts,
by the mastery
of our
passions,
by
taking on
the spirit
of our
Lord.
These
are
the conditions
under
which
Christ
makes
His
promises
and
numbers
us among
His
children,
as is
manifest
from
His words
which
the
apostles
have
left
us in their
inspired
writings.
Here is no
distinction
made or
foreseen
between
the
apostles
or clergy
or religious
and secular
persons.
The former,
indeed,
take upon
themselves
certain
stricter
obligations,
as a means
of accomplishing
these
ends
more perfectly;
but
the law
of holiness
and
of disengagement
of the
heart
from the
world is
general
and
binds all
the followers
of Christ.

The 15 Promises of the Virgin Mary to those who recite
the
Rosary
)
Revealed
to
St. Dominic
and
Blessed
Alan)
1. Whoever
shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the
Rosary, shall receive signal graces. 2.
I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to
all those who shall recite the Rosary. 3.
The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy
vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. 4.
It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain
for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts
of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will
lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that soul would
sanctify them by this means. 5. The soul
that recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall
not perish. 6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly,
applying themselves to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries
shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise
them in His justice, they shall not perish by an unprovided death;
if they be just, they shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy
of eternal life. 7. Whoever shall have a true devotion
for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. 8.
Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life
and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at
the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints
in Paradise. 9. I shall deliver from purgatory those
who have been devoted to the Rosary. 10. The faithful
children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation
of the Rosary. 12. I shall aid all those who propagate
the Holy Rosary in their necessities. 13. I have
obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall
have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life
and at the hour of death. 14. All who recite the
Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus
Christ. 15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign
of predestination.

His Holiness Aram I, current (2013)
Catholicos
of Cilicia of Armenians, whose
See
is located
in Lebanese
town
of Antelias.
The
Catholicosate
was
founded
in Sis,

Cilicia,
in
the year
1441
following
the move
of the
Catholicosate
of All Armenians
back
to its

See of Etchmiadzin
in Armenia.
The
Catholicosate
of Cilicia
enjoyed
local
jurisdiction,
though
spiritually
subject
to the
authority
of
Etchmiadzin.
In
1921 the
See was transferred
to Aleppo
in Syria,
and in
1930 to

Its
jurisdiction
currently
extends
to Syria,

Aramaic dialect of Edessa, now known as Syriac
The exact date of the introduction
of Christianity
into
Edessa
{Armenian
Ourhaï
in
Arabic
Er Roha,
commonly
Orfa
or Urfa,
its present
name}
is
not known.
It is certain,
however,
that
the Christian
community
was
at first
made
up from
the
Jewish
population
of
the city.
According
to an
ancient
legend,
King
Abgar
V, Ushana,
was converted
by
Addai,
who was one
of the seventy-two
disciples.
In
fact, however,
the
first
King of Edessa
to
embrace
the Christian
Faith
was
Abgar IX
(c. 206)
becoming
official
kingdom
religion.
Christian
council
held
at
Edessa
early
as 197
(Eusebius,
Hist.
Ecc7V,xxiii).
In 201 the city was devastated
by
a great
flood,
and
the
Christian
church
was destroyed
(“Chronicon
Edessenum”,
ad. an.
201).
In 232 the relics of the
Apostle
St. Thomas were brought from India,
on which
occasion
his
Syriac
Acts
were
written.
Under Roman domination martyrs suffered at Edessa: Sts. Scharbîl and Barsamya, under Decius; Sts. Gûrja, Schâmôna, Habib, and others under Diocletian. In the meanwhile Christian
priests from Edessa evangelized Eastern Mesopotamia
and Persia, established the first Churches in the
kingdom of the Sassanides. Atillâtiâ, Bishop
of Edessa,
assisted
at the
Council
of Nicæa
(325).
The
“Peregrinatio
Silviæ”
(or Etheriæ)
(ed.
Gamurrini,
Rome,
1887,
62 sqq.)
gives
an
account
of the
many sanctuaries
at
Edessa
about
388.
Although Hebrew had been
the
language
of
the ancient
Israelite
kingdom,
after
their
return
from
Exile
the
Jews
turned
more
and more
to
Aramaic,
using
it
for parts
of
the books
of Ezra
and
Daniel
in the
Bible.
By the
time of
Jesus,
Aramaic
was the
main
language
of
Palestine,
and
quite
a number
of texts
from
the
Dead Sea
Scrolls
are also
written
in Aramaic.
Aramaic
continued
to
be an
important
language
for
Jews,
alongside
Hebrew,
and parts
of the
Talmud
are written
in
it.
After Arab conquests of
the seventh century, Arabic quickly replaced Aramaic
as the main language of those who converted to Islam, although
in out of the way places, Aramaic continued as a vernacular
language of Muslims.
Aramaic, however, enjoyed
its
greatest success
in Christianity.
Although
the
New
Testament
wins
written
in
Greek,
Christianity
had
come
into
existence
in an Aramaic-speaking
milieu,
and
it was
the Aramaic
dialect
of
Edessa,
now
known
as Syriac,
that became
the literary
language
of a large
number
of Christians
living
in the
eastern
provinces
of
the Roman
Empire
and
in the
Persian
Empire,
further
east.
Over
the course
of
the centuries
the influence
of the Syriac
Churches
spread eastwards
to
China
(in Xian,
in western
China,
a
Chinese-Syriac
inscription
dated
781
is
still to be seen);
to
southern
India
where
the
state of Kerala
can boast
more
Christians
of
Syriac
liturgical
tradition
than anywhere
else
in the world.
680 Shiite saint Imam Hussein, grandson of Islam's Prophet Muhammad Known as Ashoura and observed by Shiites across the world, the 10th day of the lunar Muslim month of Muharram: the anniversary of the 7th century death in battle of one of Shiite Islam's most beloved saints. Imam Hussein died in the 680 A.D. battle fought on the plains outside Karbala, a city in modern Iraq that's home to the saint's shrine. The battle over a dispute about the leadership of the Muslim faith following Muhammad's death in 632 A.D. It is the defining event in Islam's split into Sunni and Shiite branches. The occasion is the source of an enduring moral lesson. "He sacrificed his blood to teach us not to give in to corruption, coercion, or use of force and to seek honor and justice." According to Shiite beliefs, Hussein and companions were denied water by enemies who controlled the nearby Euphrates. Streets get partially covered with blood from slaughter of hundreds of cows and sheep. Volunteers cook the meat and feed it to the poor. Hussein's martyrdom recounted through a rich body of prose, poetry and song remains an inspirational example of sacrifice to many Shiites, 10 percent of the world's estimated 1.3 billion Muslims. |

Meeting
of
the
Saints
walis
(saints
of
Allah) Great men covet to embrace
martyrdom
for
a cause
and
principle.
So
was
the
case
with
Hazrat
Ali.
He
could
have
made a
compromise
with
the
evil
forces
of
his time
and,
as a result,
could
have led a very comfortable,
easy
and
luxurious
life.
But
he was
not a person
who
would
succumb
to such
temptations.
His
upbringing,
his education
and his
training
in the lap
of the
holy Prophet
made him
refuse
such
an offer.Rabia Al-Basri (717–801 C.E.) She was first to set forth the doctrine of mystical love and who is widely considered to be the most important of the early Sufi poets. An elderly Shia pointed out that during his pre-Partition childhood it was quite common to find pictures and portraits of Shia icons in Imambaras across the country. Shah Abdul Latif: The Exalted Sufi Master born 1690 in a Syed family; died 1754. In ancient times, Sindh housed the exemplary Indus Valley Civilisation with Moenjo Daro as its capital, and now, it is the land of a culture which evolved from the teachings of eminent Sufi saints. Pakistan is home to the mortal remains of many Sufi saints, the exalted among them being Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, a practitioner of the real Islam, philosopher, poet, musicologist and preacher. He presented his teaching through poetry and music - both instruments sublime - and commands a very large following, not only among Muslims but also among Hindus and Christians. Sindh culture: The Shah is synonymous with Sindh. He is the very fountainhead of Sindh's culture. His message remains as fresh as that of any present day poet, and the people of Sindh find solace from his writings. He did indeed think for Sindh. One of his prayers, in exquisite Sindhi, translates thus: “Oh God, may ever You on Sindh bestow abundance rare! Beloved!

801 Rabi'a
al-'Adawiyya
Sufi
One
of the most
famous
Islamic
mystics
(b. 717). This 8th century saint was an early Sufi who had a profound influence on later Sufis, who in turn deeply influenced the European mystical love and troubadour traditions. Rabi'a was a woman of Basra, a seaport in southern Iraq. She was born around 717 and died in 801 (185-186). Her biographer, the great medieval poet Attar, tells us that she was "on fire with love and longing" and that men accepted her "as a second spotless Mary" (186). She was, he continues, “an unquestioned authority to her contemporaries" (218). Rabi'a began her ascetic life in a small desert cell near Basra, where she lost herself in prayer and went straight to God for teaching. As far as is known, she never studied under any master or spiritual director. She was one of the first of the Sufis to teach that Love alone was the guide on the mystic path (222). A later Sufi taught that there were two classes of "true believers": one class sought a master as an intermediary between them and God -- unless they could see the footsteps of the Prophet on the path before them, they would not accept the path as valid. The second class “...did not look before them for the footprint of any of God's creatures, for they had removed all thought of what He had created from their hearts, and concerned themselves solely with God. (218) Rabi'a was of this second kind. She felt no reverence even for the House of God in Mecca: "It is the Lord of the house Whom I need; what have I to do with the house?" (219) One lovely spring morning a friend asked her to come outside to see the works of God. She replied, "Come you inside that you may behold their Maker. Contemplation of the Maker has turned me aside from what He has made" (219). During an illness, a friend asked this woman if she desired anything. "...[H]ow can you ask me such a question as 'What do I desire?' I swear by the glory of God that for twelve years I have desired fresh dates, and you know that in Basra dates are plentiful, and I have not yet tasted them. I am a servant (of God), and what has a servant to do with desire?" (162) When a male friend once suggested she should pray for relief from a debilitating illness, she said, "O Sufyan, do you not know Who it is that wills this suffering for me? Is it not God Who wills it? When you know this, why do you bid me ask for what is contrary to His will? It is not well to oppose one's Beloved." (221) She was an ascetic. It was her custom to pray all night, sleep briefly just before dawn, and then rise again just as dawn "tinged the sky with gold" (187). She lived in celibacy and poverty, having renounced the world. A friend visited her in old age and found that all she owned were a reed mat, screen, a pottery jug, and a bed of felt which doubled as her prayer-rug (186), for where she prayed all night, she also slept briefly in the pre-dawn chill. Once her friends offered to get her a servant; she replied, "I should be ashamed to ask for the things of this world from Him to Whom the world belongs, and how should I ask for them from those to whom it does not belong?" (186-7) A wealthy merchant once wanted to give her a purse of gold. She refused it, saying that God, who sustains even those who dishonor Him, would surely sustain her, "whose soul is overflowing with love" for Him. And she added an ethical concern as well: "...How should I take the wealth of someone of whom I do not know whether he acquired it lawfully or not?" (187) She taught that repentance was a gift from God because no one could repent unless God had already accepted him and given him this gift of repentance. She taught that sinners must fear the punishment they deserved for their sins, but she also offered such sinners far more hope of Paradise than most other ascetics did. For herself, she held to a higher ideal, worshipping God neither from fear of Hell nor from hope of Paradise, for she saw such self-interest as unworthy of God's servants; emotions like fear and hope were like veils -- i.e., hindrances to the vision of God Himself. The story is told that once a number of Sufis saw her hurrying on her way with water in one hand and a burning torch in the other. When they asked her to explain, she said: "I am going to light a fire in Paradise and to pour water on to Hell, so that both veils may vanish altogether from before the pilgrims and their purpose may be sure..." (187-188) She was once asked where she came from. "From that other world," she said. "And where are you going?" she was asked. "To that other world," she replied (219). She taught that the spirit originated with God in "that other world" and had to return to Him in the end. Yet if the soul were sufficiently purified, even on earth, it could look upon God unveiled in all His glory and unite with him in love. In this quest, logic and reason were powerless. Instead, she speaks of the "eye" of her heart which alone could apprehend Him and His mysteries (220). Above all, she was a lover, a bhakti, like one of Krishna’s Goptis in the Hindu tradition. Her hours of prayer were not so much devoted to intercession as to communion with her Beloved. Through this communion, she could discover His will for her. Many of her prayers have come down to us: "I have made Thee the Companion of my heart, But my body is available for those who seek its company, And my body is friendly towards its guests, But the Beloved of my heart is the Guest of my soul."

visited.
In Bogotá, a Salesian priest - Father Juan Pablo Rodriguez - brought Mother and the nuns to the Sanctuary of the Divine Infant Jesus to attend Mass. After Mass, Father Juan Pablo took them into a small Shrine which housed the miraculous statue of the Child Jesus. Mother Angelica stood praying at the side of the statue when suddenly the miraculous image came alive and turned towards her. Then the Child Jesus spoke with the voice of a young boy: “Build Me a Temple and I will help those who help you.” Thus began a great adventure that would eventually result in the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, a Temple dedicated to the Divine Child Jesus, a place of refuge for all.

Among
the
most
important
titles
we
have in
the Catholic
Church
for
the Blessed
Virgin
Mary are
Our
Lady of
Victory
and Our
Lady of
the Rosary.
These
titles
can be traced
back
to one of
the most
decisive
times
in the history
of the
world and
Christendom.
The Battle
of Lepanto
took
place
on October
7 (date
of feast
of Our Lady
of Rosary),
1571.
This
proved to
be the most crucial
battle
for the Christian
forces
against
the radical
Muslim
navy of Turkey.
Pope
Pius
V led a procession
around St.
Peter’s
Square in
Vatican City
praying
the Rosary.
He showed
true pastoral
leadership
in recognizing
the danger
posed to Christendom
by the radical
Muslim
forces,
and in
using the
means necessary
to defeat
it. Spiritual
battles
require
spiritual
weapons,
and this
more than
anything
was a battle
that
had its origins
in the spiritual
order—a
true battle
between good
and evil. Today we have a similar spiritual battle in progress—a battle between the forces of good and evil, light and darkness, truth and lies, life and death. If we do not soon stop the genocide of abortion in the United States, we shall run the course of all those that prove by their actions that they are enemies of God—total collapse, economic, social, and national. The moral demise of a nation results in the ultimate demise of a nation. God is not a disinterested spectator to the affairs of man. Life begins at conception. This is an unalterable formal teaching of the Catholic Church. If you do not accept this you are a heretic in plain English. A single abortion is homicide. The more than 48,000,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade in the United States constitute genocide by definition. The group singled out for death—unwanted, unborn children. No other issue, not all other issues taken together, can constitute a proportionate reason for voting for candidates that intend to preserve and defend this holocaust of innocent human life that is abortion. As we watch the spectacle of the world seeming to self-destruct before our eyes, we can’t help but be saddened and even frightened by so much evil run rampant. Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia, North Korea—It is all a disaster of epic proportions displayed in living color on our television screens. These are not ordinary times and this is not business as usual. We are at a crossroads in human history and the time for Catholics and all Christians to act is now. All evil can ultimately be traced to its origin, which is moral evil. All of the political action, peace talks, international peacekeeping forces, etc. will avail nothing if the underlying sickness is not addressed. This is sin. One person at a time hearts and minds must be moved from evil to good, from lies to truth, from violence to peace. Islam, an Arabic word that has often been defined as “to make peace,” seems like a living contradiction today. Islam is a religion of peace. As we celebrate the birthday of Our Lady, I am proposing that each one of us pray the Rosary for peace. Prayer is what must precede all other activity if that activity is to have any chance of success. Pray for peace, pray the Rosary every day without fail. There is a great love for Mary among Muslim people. It is not a coincidence that a little village named Fatima is where God chose to have His Mother appear in the twentieth century. Our Lady’s name appears no less than thirty times in the Koran. No other woman’s name is mentioned, not even that of Mohammed’s daughter, Fatima. In the Koran Our Lady is described as “Virgin, ever Virgin.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen prophetically spoke of the resurgence of Islam in our day. He said it would be through the Blessed Virgin Mary that Islam would be converted. We must pray for this to happen quickly if we are to avert a horrible time of suffering for this poor, sinful world. Turn to our Mother in this time of great peril. Pray the Rosary every day. Then, and only then will there be peace, when the hearts and minds of men are changed from the inside.

Father John Corapi goes
to the heart of the contemporary world's
many woes
and
wars,
whether
the
wars
in Afghanistan,
Iraq,
Lebanon,
Somalia,
or the Congo,
or the natural
disasters
that
seem
to be increasing
every year,
the moral
and spiritual
war is
at the basis
of everything.
“Our battle
is
not against
human
forces,”
St. Paul
asserts,
“but
against
principalities
and
powers,
against
the world
rulers
of this
present
darkness...”
(Ephesians
6:12).
The “War to end all wars” is the moral and spiritual combat that rages in the hearts and minds of human beings. The outcome of that unseen fight largely determines how the battle in the realm of the seen unfolds. The title talk, “With the Moon Under Her Feet,” is taken from the twelfth chapter of the Book of Revelation, and deals with the current threat to the world from radical Islam, and the Blessed Virgin Mary's role in the ultimate victory that will result in the conversion of Islam. Few Catholics are aware of the connection between Islam, Fatima, and Guadalupe. Presented in Father Corapi's straight-forward style, you will be both inspired and educated by him.

July 2015. Pope Recognizes Heroic Virtues of Ukrainian Archbishop Recognition Brings Metropolitan Archbishop Andrey Sheptytsky Closer to Beatification By Junno Arocho Esteves Rome, July 17, 2015 (ZENIT.org) Pope Francis recognized the heroic virtues of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Archbishop Andrey Sheptytsky. According to a communique released by the Holy See Press Office, the Holy Father met this morning with Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. The Pope also recognized the heroic virtues of several religious/lay men and women from Italy, Spain, France & Mexico. Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky is considered to be one of the most influential 20th century figures in the history of the Ukrainian Church. Enthroned as Metropolitan of Lviv in 1901, Archbishop Sheptytsky was arrested shortly after the outbreak of World War I in 1914 by the Russians. After his imprisonment in several prisons in Russia and the Ukraine, the Archbishop was released in 1918. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic prelate was also an ardent supporter of the Jewish community in Ukraine, going so far as to learn Hebrew to better communicate with them. He also was a vocal protestor against atrocities committed by the Nazis, evidenced in his pastoral letter, "Thou Shalt Not Kill." He was also known to harbor thousands of Jews in his residence and in Greek Catholic monasteries. Following his death in 1944, his cause for canonization was opened in 1958. * * * The Holy Father authorized the Congregation to promulgate the following decrees regarding the heroic virtues of: - Servant of God Andrey Sheptytsky, O.S.B.M., major archbishop of Leopolis of the Ukrainians, metropolitan of Halyc (1865-1944); - Servant of God Giuseppe Carraro, Bishop of Verona, Italy (1899-1980); - Servant of God Agustin Ramirez Barba, Mexican diocesan priest and founder of the Servants of the Lord of Mercy (1881-1967); - Servant of God Simpliciano della Nativita (ne Aniello Francesco Saverio Maresca), Italian professed priest of the Order of Friars Minor, founder of the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Hearts (1827-1898); - Servant of God Maria del Refugio Aguilar y Torres del Cancino, Mexican founder of the Mercedarian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament (1866-1937); - Servant of God Marie-Charlotte Dupouy Bordes (Marie-Teresa), French professed religious of the Society of the Religious of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (1873-1953); - Servant of God Elisa Miceli, Italian founder of the Rural Catechist Sisters of the Sacred Heart (1904-1976); - Servant of God Isabel Mendez Herrero (Isabel of Mary Immaculate), Spanish professed nun of the Servants of St. Joseph (1924-1953) |
