Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

For this Immaculate Heart Saturday post I will continue the theme from yesterday’s Sacred Heart Friday post “Have you made your Sacred Heart Consecration yet?” Today, it’s and Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth and tender Mother of men, in accordance with Thy ardent wish made known at Fatima, I consecrate to Thy Immaculate Heart myself, my brethren, my country and the whole human race. 

Reign over us, Most Holy Mother of God, and teach us how to make the Heart of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ reign and triumph in us even as it has reigned and triumphed in Thee. 

Reign over us, Most Blessed Virgin, that we may be Thine in prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death. 

O most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven, watch over our minds and hearts and preserve them from the impurity which Thou didst lament so sorrowfully at Fatima. Assist us in imitating you in all things, especially purity. Help us to call down upon our country and upon the whole world the peace of God in justice and charity. 

Therefore, Most Gracious Virgin and Mother, I hereby promise to imitate Thy virtues by the practice of a true Christian life without regard to human respect. I resolve to receive Holy Communion regularly and to offer to Thee five decades of the Rosary each day, together with my sacrifices, in the spirit of reparation and penance. Amen.

Have you made your Sacred Heart Consecration yet?

I have completed eight months of Sacred Heart Friday posts! Some fine, some perhaps not so much; those latter were typically during a week where despite all the reminders I set up, I forgot to get a Round Tuit and write something. But even those were hopefully edifying in some. You never know how something will be received.

Or, as in the case of these past few weeks, distracted because of a major project I’m working on that I’ll tell you about soon.

On this day, the First Friday of September, I offer a simple post that’s a reminder for you of self-consecration to the Sacred Heart. The following is a prayer written by “The Apostle of the Sacred Heart,” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque expressly for that purpose:

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.

I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee.
I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants.

Amen.

Novena to St. Maximilan Maria Kolbe begins August 5th!

An annual post:

August 5th begins a novena to St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe, one of my favorite saints for a myriad of reasons. One of them, and not the primary one, even, is his patronage of addicts. He was not an addict himself, but the Church in Her thinking has anointed him for that role by virtue of his death, for he was executed by a lethal injection.

His Feast Day is August 14th.

The following are links to a novena to him I wrote near the time when I began this blog:

The Novena to St. Maximilian Kolbe for Alcoholics and Addicts:

Novena Day 1 Novena Day 2 Novena Day 3 Novena Day 4 Novena Day 5 Novena Day 6 Novena Day 7 Novena Day 8 Novena Day 9

Here is another novena, published by the Militia of the Immaculata: the Solemn Novena in Honor of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

There are numerous posts on Sober Catholic about him, the archive of them is here: St. Maximilian Kolbe Post Archive

Prayer of St. Gertrude for Souls

One last Precious Blood Prayer for this Sacred Heart Friday to close out July. I say this prayer often while going up to receive Holy Communion; it is reputed to release thousands of souls from Purgatory every time it’s recited. The Church doesn’t endorse or approve this prayer, nor does it disapprove or discourage it and she makes no guarantees as to its efficacy in releasing Holy Souls. But it’s a nice prayer, very old and traditional. And there’s nothing wrong with saying it.

The Prayer of St. Gertrude

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Holy Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.

Amen.

Seven Days Of Prayer For The Souls In Purgatory

For this Sacred Heart Friday I introduce you to a devotion I say every day. It is the Seven Days of Prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. It is from the Raccolta, which is a handbook of indulgenced prayers. 

You start with the “Preparatory Prayer for every day,” followed by the particular prayer for the day, finishing with the Our Father, Hail Mary and the. Eternal Rest prayer and a concluding prayer.

It invokes the Precious Blood of Jesus, and so is an apt way to close out the month of July, which is dedicated to that.

 

SEVEN DAYS OF PRAYER FOR THE SOULS IN PURGATORY

Preparatory Prayer for every day:
My Jesus, by the sorrows You suffered in Your agony in the Garden, in Your scourging and crowning with thorns, in Your journey to Calvary, and in Your crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory, and especially on those that are most forsaken; deliver them from the torments they endure; call them and admit them to Your most sweet embrace in Paradise, where You live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

(Here say the prayer for today, concluding with these:)

0ur Father

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women; and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Eternal Rest

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Concluding Prayer

Merciful Father, hear our prayers and console us. As we renew our faith in Your Son, Whom You raised from the dead, strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in His resurrection, who lives and reigns with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayers for Each Day

Sunday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Blood which Your Divine Son Jesus shed in the Garden, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and especially that one which is the most forsaken of all, and bring him into Your glory, where he may praise and bless You forever. Amen.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Monday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Blood which Your Divine Son Jesus shed in His cruel scourging, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and, among them all, especially that soul who is nearest to his entrance into Your glory, that he may soon begin to praise You and bless You forever. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Tuesday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Blood of Your Divine Son Jesus that was shed in His bitter crowning with thorns, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and, among them all, particularly that soul who is in greatest need of our prayers, in order that he may no longer be delayed in praising You in Your glory and blessing You forever. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Wednesday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Blood of Your Divine Son Jesus that was shed on the streets of Jerusalem, while He carried on His sacred shoulders the heavy burden of the Cross, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and especially the one who is richest in merits in Your sight, so that, having soon attained the high place in glory to which he is destined, he may praise You triumphantly and bless You forever. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Thursday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Body and Blood of Your Divine Son Jesus, which He Himself, on the night before His Passion, gave as meat and drink to His Beloved Apostles and bequeathed to His Holy Church to be the Perpetual Sacrifice and life-giving nourishment of His faithful people, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and, most of all, that soul who was most devoted to this Mystery of infinite love, in order that he may praise You therefore, together with Your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit in Your glory forever. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Friday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Blood which Jesus Your Divine Son did shed this day upon the tree of the Cross, especially from His sacred hands and feet, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and particularly that soul for whom I am most bound to pray, in order that I may not be the cause which hinders You from admitting him quickly to the possession of Your glory, where he may praise You and bless You forevermore. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Saturday

O Lord God Almighty, I beseech You, by the Precious Blood which gushed forth from the sacred side of Your Divine Son Jesus in the presence and to the great sorrow of His Most Holy Mother, deliver the souls in Purgatory, and, among them all, especially that soul who has been the most devout to this noble Lady, that he may come quickly into Your glory, there to praise You in her, and her in You, through all the ages. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary. Eternal rest, etc.

Another Our Lady of Perpetual Help Coincidence (and novena reminder)

A while back I wrote about a series of coincidences involving Our Lady of Perpetual Help and yours truly. 

Well, she’s at it again! I was cleaning out the back of the garage to make room for a garden workbench I’m being given when I opened a box that was in the way. Curious, I rummaged through it and there was a stack of Our Lady of Perpetual Help prayer cards! This is what they look like, minus the wording at the bottom:

CultofPerpetualHelpVetusImagoMiraculisClaraVenerata.

So, what exactly is the coincidence? Well, today marks the beginning of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Novena! I didn’t need the reminder, so it is a curious thing or perhaps just a signal grace.

Anyway, if you want to pray this Novena, this post has links to three good ones to pick from.

Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Ordinary Mass Readings to Ponder the Mystery of His Love

Earlier on this Sacred Heart Friday, I posted the Mass Propers for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus from the Traditional Latin Mass. This post has the readings from this year’s Ordinary Rite. Again, meditating on these should provide spiritual insight into the mystery of the Sacred Heart.

 

First Reading (Deuteronomy 7:6-11)

Moses said to the people:

“You are a people sacred to the LORD, your God;

he has chosen you from all the nations on the face of the earth

to be a people peculiarly his own.

It was not because you are the largest of all nations

that the LORD set his heart on you and chose you,

for you are really the smallest of all nations.

It was because the LORD loved you

and because of his fidelity to the oath he had sworn your fathers,

that he brought you out with his strong hand

from the place of slavery,

and ransomed you from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

Understand, then, that the LORD, your God, is God indeed,

the faithful God who keeps his merciful covenant

down to the thousandth generation

toward those who love him and keep his commandments,

but who repays with destruction a person who hates him;

he does not dally with such a one,

but makes them personally pay for it.

You shall therefore carefully observe the commandments,

the statutes and the decrees that I enjoin on you today.”

 

Responsorial Psalm (Ps 103:1-2, 3-4, 6-7, 8, 10)

 

R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

 

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

all my being, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

and forget not all his benefits.

 

R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

 

He pardons all your iniquities,

heals all your ills.

He redeems your life from destruction,

crowns you with kindness and compassion.

 

R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

 

Merciful and gracious is the LORD,

slow to anger and abounding in kindness.

Not according to our sins does he deal with us,

nor does he requite us according to our crimes.

 

R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

 

Second Reading (1 John 4:7-16)

 

Beloved, let us love one another,

because love is of God;

everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.

Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.

In this way the love of God was revealed to us:

God sent his only Son into the world

so that we might have life through him.

In this is love:

not that we have loved God, but that he loved us

and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us,

we also must love one another.

No one has ever seen God.

Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us,

and his love is brought to perfection in us.

 

This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us,

that he has given us of his Spirit.

Moreover, we have seen and testify

that the Father sent his Son as savior of the world.

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,

God remains in him and he in God.

We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.

 

God is love, and whoever remains in love

remains in God and God in him.

 

Alleluia (Mt 11:29)

 

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord;

and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

 

Gospel (Matthew 11:25-30)

 

At that time Jesus exclaimed:

“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,

for although you have hidden these things

from the wise and the learned

you have revealed them to little ones.

Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.

All things have been handed over to me by my Father. 

No one knows the Son except the Father,

and no one knows the Father except the Son

and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.

 

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,

and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

for I am meek and humble of heart;

and you will find rest for yourselves. 

For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Latin Mass Readings to Draw from the Sacred Wellspring

One of the ways to gain a significant insight into a saint or feast day is to meditate on the Mass Readings for that day. So, on this Sacred Heart Friday, I will offer two posts featuring these. First up are the readings for the Mass for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, using the Propers from the Extraordinary Form. Next post will have the Ordinary Rite Readings.

I will let them speak for themselves and you might want to petition the Holy Spirit for the wisdom and understanding to gain from these readings.

Introit (Psalms 32: 11, 19)

O God, who in the Heart of Thy Son,
wounded by our sins, dost mercifully
vouchsafe to bestow upon us the
boundless treasures of Thy love:
grant, we beseech Thee, that we who
now render Him the service of our
devotion and piety, may also fulfill our
duty of worthy satisfaction. Through
the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our
Lord, Who lives and reigns with Thee
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God,
forever and ever.

Collect

O God, who in the Heart of Thy Son,
wounded by our sins, dost mercifully
vouchsafe to bestow upon us the
boundless treasures of Thy love:
grant, we beseech Thee, that we who
now render Him the service of our
devotion and piety, may also fulfill our
duty of worthy satisfaction. Through
the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our
Lord, Who lives and reigns with Thee
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God,
forever and ever.

Epistle (Ephesians 3: 8-19)

Brethren, To me, the least of all the
Saints, is given this grace, to preach
among the Gentiles the unsearchable
riches of Christ: and to enlighten all
men, that they may see what is the
dispensation of the mystery which
hath been hidden from eternity in God,
who created all things: that the
manifold wisdom of God may be made
known to the principalities and powers
in heavenly places through the
Church, according to the eternal
purpose which He made in Christ
Jesus our Lord: in whom we have
boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him. For this cause I
bow my knees to the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, of whom all
paternity in heaven and earth is
named, that He would grant you
according to the riches of His glory, to
be strengthened by His Spirit with
might unto the inward man, that Christ
may dwell by faith in your hearts: that,
being rooted and grounded in charity,
you may be able to comprehend with
all the Saints, what is the breadth and
length, and height and depth: to know
also the charity of Christ which
surpasseth all knowledge, that you
may be filled unto all the fullness of
God.

Gradual (Psalms 24: 8-9)

The Lord is sweet and righteous:
therefore He will give a law to sinners
in the way. He will guide the mild in
judgment: He will teach the meek His
ways.

Lesser Alleluia (Matthew 11: 29)

Alleluia, alleluia. Take my yoke upon
you and learn from Me, because I am
meek and humble of Heart: and you
shall find rest to your souls. Alleluia.

Gospel (John 19: 31-37)

At that time: The Jews (because it was
the Parasceve), that the bodies might
not remain upon the cross on the
Sabbath day (for that was a great
Sabbath day) besought Pilate that
their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away. The
soldiers therefore came: and they
broke the legs of the first, and of the
other that was crucified with Him. But
after they were come to Jesus, when
they saw that He was already dead
they did not break His legs. But one
of the soldiers with a spear opened
His side, and immediately there came
out blood and water. And he that saw
it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth
that he saith true, that you may
believe. For these things were done
that the Scripture might be fulfilled:
You shall not break a bone of Him.
And again another Scripture saith:
They shall look on Him whom they
pierced.

Offertory (Psalms 68: 21)

My Heart hath expected reproach and
misery; and I looked for one that
would grieve together with me, but
there was none: and for one that
would comfort me, and I found none.

Secret

Have regard, we beseech Thee, O
Lord, to the inexpressible love of the
Heart of Thy beloved Son: so that
what we offer may be a gift acceptable
to Thee, and an expiation for our
offenses. Through the same Jesus
Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, Who lives
and reigns with Thee in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.

Preface of the Sacred Heart

It is truly meet and just, right and for
our salvation, that we should at all
times and in all places give thanks to
Thee, holy Lord, Father almighty,
eternal God: Whose will it was that
Thine only-begotten Son, while
hanging on the Cross, should be
pierced by the soldier’s lance: that the
Heart thus opened should, as from a
well of divine bounty, pour over us
streams of mercy and of grace: and
that the Heart which never ceased to
burn with love for us, should be for the
devout a haven of rest and for the
penitent an open refuge of salvation.
And therefore with Angels and
Archangels, with Thrones and
Dominations, and with all the hosts of
the heavenly army, we sing a hymn
to Thy glory, evermore saying:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Communion Prayer (John 19: 34)

One of the soldiers with a spear
opened His side, and immediately
there came out blood and water.

Postcommunion Prayer

May Thy holy Mysteries, O Lord
Jesus, impart to us divine fervor:
wherein we may taste the sweetness
of Thy most loving Heart, and learn to
despise what is earthly and love what
is heavenly: Who lives and reigns
with God the Father in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.

St. Rita of Cascia website!

I was looking up prayers and litanies to St. Rita of Cascia when I discovered this site I must have missed all these years: St. Rita of Cascia!

We need St. Rita’s prayers now more then ever. She is the patron saint of impossible causes and if you look around at all that is happening in the world today you truly feel the only way back to some kind of peace is through God’s intervention. St. Rita is a beautiful example of keeping your faith throughout any and all difficult situations. Tell us your St. Rita story.

“Tell us your St. Rita story.” Wow! Will I! I am drafting an email to the site’s manager telling her about “my” St. Rita story.

The quote I took from the site is quite appropriate. She is a saint for our times; and not just for women, although it is understandable why she appeals mostly to ladies. She is a patroness of those trapped in abusive marriages, of those with troubled children (if you’re a parent and worried about your kids, pray to St. Rita!!) If you’re a man who is a problem for the woman in your life, you might even ask for the intercession of St. Rita’s husband, Paolo Mancini. Although not a canonized saint, she did receive a signal grace that he was saved. He reformed himself years before his murder and he may be able to assist you in controlling your temper and violent moods. St. Rita can be a powerful intercessor for anyone who had certain plans for life but finds them thwarted; and especially for those who, like me, are ‘impossible causes.’ If you have a religious vocation, she can help you discern it.

Here is the page on that site for prayers and novenas to her.

Now, I gotta go finish that email to that site about my St. Rita story! Later!
