Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage,

O Holy Mother of God,

despise not our petitions in our necessities,

but ever deliver us from all dangers,

O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. Amen.

   

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus,

Sancta Dei Genetrix,

nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus,

sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper,

Virgo Gloriosa et Benedicta. Amen.  

  

Totus Tuus  

I am all yours,

and all I have is yours.

I welcome you into all my affairs and concerns.

Show me your heart,

O Mary.  

  

Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea Tua sunt.

Accipio Te in mea omnia.

Praebe mihi cor Tuum, Maria.

  

Memorare  

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

  

Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum. Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.

  

O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy divine foster Son, Jesus Christ, all spiritual blessings. So that having experienced thy heavenly power here below, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. O St. Joseph, I never grow weary of contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Hold Him close in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls; pray for us. Amen.

"Mission is a duty about which one must say, 'Woe to me if I do not evangelize' (1 Cor 9:16)...It is love that must move us to proclaim to all people with frankness and courage the truth that saves - a love that must radiate everywhere and reach the heart of every human being. Indeed, people await Christ." -His Holiness Benedict XVI

"Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; But the LORD laid upon him the guilt of us all."   Isaiah 53:4-6,      New American Bible

Liturgical Season - LENT 2010 - Reflections and Study

Mary had role in Jesus’ public ministry 

1. After recalling Mary’s intervention at the wedding feast of Cana, the Second Vatican Council emphasizes her participation in the public life of Jesus: “In the course of her Son’s preaching she received the words whereby, in extolling a kingdom beyond the concerns and ties of flesh and blood, he declared blessed those who heard and kept the word of God (cf. Mk 3:35 par.; Lk 11: 27-28) as she was faithfully doing (cf. Lk 2:19, 51)” (Lumen gentium, n. 58). 

The beginning of Jesus’ mission also meant separation from his Mother, who did not always follow her son in his travels on the roads of Palestine. Jesus deliberately chose separation from his Mother and from family affection, as can be inferred from the conditions he gave his disciples for following him and for dedicating themselves to proclaiming God’s kingdom.

Prayer For Priests  

…O Eternal Father, may our earth be impregnated by that ocean of love gushing forth from the opened side of Your Jesus that it may bring forth holy priests, priests who like John, the Beloved Disciple, will gather up the Precious Blood in their chalices on the altars. Send us priests who will give You to souls with that plentitude of love which the Apostle John received as a pledge of tenderness at the foot of the Cross…May your priests protect with jealous love Your Bride, the Church, just as St. John protected Mary, Your Mother, and took her into his own. Instructed by this tender Mother of Sorrows on Calvary, may these priests watch over Your children with the exquisite tenderness and care of a Mother. May they lead souls on to intimate union with You through Mary who, as the Gate of Heaven, is the sole dispenser of the treasures hidden in your Adorable Heart.O Mary! Transfixed beneath the Cross by the sword which pierced the Heart of Your Divine Son….teach us how to please Jesus; let us run with you to His assistance when we hear His cry: ‘I thirst’….that cry which you heard at the foot of the Cross as He was expiring…Oh! Priests! Priests all on fire! True children of Mary who will give Jesus to souls, with the same tenderness and the same care with which you carried the little child of Bethlehem! In the Host, O Mother, your Jesus is once more little, like in the crèche! He does not have hands as delicate as yours to touch Him…..…Mother of Sorrows!...Give Him a generation of priests formed at your school, in the delicacies of your virginal love!
