During this month of September, the Church turns her attention in a particular way to Our Lady of Sorrows. Here is the Chaplet of Our Lady of Sorrows which can be prayed on a normal rosary if needed.
Each day begin with: V. O God, come to my assistance; R. O Lord, make haste to help me. V. Glory be, etc. R. As it was, etc. Then: Day I.

Dear Mother, by Thy heart so afflicted, obtain for me the virtue of humility and the Gift of the holy Fear of God. Pray one Hail Mary. Day II.

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. Let intercession be made for us, we beseech Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, now and at the hour of our death, before the throne of Thy mercy, by the Blessed Virgin Mary, Thy Mother, whose most holy soul was pierced by a sword of sorrow in the hour of Thy bitter Passion. We ask this through Thee, Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world, who with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest world without end. Amen. (This article is part of a series that will appear over the course of this year on the Monthly Devotions of the Church’s year). During this month of September, the Church turns her attention in a particular way to Our Lady of Sorrows. In last weekend’s bulletin we discussed this title of the Blessed Virgin Mary and both this weekend and next weekend you will find devotions which can be used in your own prayer life as we honor Our Lady of Sorrows.
Antiphon: There stood by the cross of Jesus His Mother and His Mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Salome and Mary Magdalene. -Woman behold thy Son, -Son, behold thy Mother. Let us pray: O God, at Whose Passion, according to the prophecy of holy Simeon, a sword of grief pierced the most sweet soul of glorious Mary, virgin and mother, grand in Thy mercy, that we who honor the memory of her sorrows may obtain the happy fruit of Thy suferings. Who live and reign, world without end. Amen. O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and death of your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of compassion, and awaken in my heart a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of my sins, in order that being disengaged from all undue affection for the passing joys of this earth, I may sigh after the eternal Jerusalem, and that henceforward all my thoughts and all my actions may be directed towards this one most desirable object. Honor, glory, and love to our divine Lord Jesus, and to the holy and immaculate Mother of God. Amen. Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. O, mother most holy and sorrowful, Queen of Martyrs, you who stood by your Son as He agonized on the cross; by the sufferings of your life, by that sword of pain that pierced your heart, by your perfect joy in heaven, look down on me kindly as I kneel before you, sympathizing with your sorrows and offering you my petition (here place your petition) with childlike trust. Dear Mother, since your Son refuses you nothing, ask of His Sacred Heart to mercifully grant what I ask, through the merits of His sacred passion, along with those of your sufferings at the foot of the cross. Mother most merciful, to whom shall I go in my misery if not to you who pities us poor sinful exiles in this valley of tears? In our name, offer Jesus but one drop of His most precious blood, but one pang of His loving heart. Remind Him that you are our sweetness, our life and our hope, and your prayer will be heard. Amen. Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency, hear and answer me. Amen. (This article is part of a series that will appear over the course of this year on the Monthly Devotions of the Church’s year). Here we are on the threshold of a new school year! One of the beautiful things about life, in my opinion, is the regular cycle that unfolds over the course of a year. We see it, for instance, in the academic year with the thrill of new backpacks and pencils and teachers and it progresses through the celebrations of Fall and into Christmas and then the doldrums of winter and on to the anticipation of Spring and the end of the school year and summer vacation. We see this cycle in the natural world – in the trees going from full bloom to multiple hues to being brown and falling and then to bareness before starting the cycle up again in Spring with buds and blossoms. We also see this cycle unfolding in the Church’s liturgical year – again and again we pass through the cycle – Advent and then Christmas, Lent and Easter and Pentecost, the great feasts of the saints and of the Blessed Virgin Mary and, of course, of the Lord Himself. Each year, in passing through these various cycles hopefully we are going deeper and deeper into them. The Church’s liturgical year is marked by the great feasts and seasons, but traditionally the Church has also marked the passage of time and its cycles with monthly devotions – a person or a mystery that holds our attention for that month, allowing us to go more deeply into the mystery of what we are pondering and praying about. The monthly devotional cycle of the Church is as follows:
January – The Holy Name of Jesus February – The Holy Family March – St. Joseph April – The Holy Spirit May – The Blessed Virgin Mary June – The Sacred Heart of Jesus July – The Precious Blood August – The Immaculate Heart of Mary September – Our Lady of Sorrows October – The Queen of the Holy Rosary November – The Souls in Purgatory December – The Immaculate Conception As you know each year I try to write a series of bulletin articles focusing in on topic – in the past I have covered the Mass, the Nicene Creed, the Life and Teaching of St. Paul, the Sacraments. I’d like, this year, to put together a series of articles focusing in on these monthly devotions. So, each month there will be an article discussing the monthly devotion and then a couple of other articles which contain prayers and devotions that we can pray during the course of the month. I would encourage you to clip out the prayers and put them near you and use them in your daily prayer each month and by praying the monthly devotion and meditating on it, hopefully it will be a vehicle to draw us more closely to Christ and be assured that I will be praying them as well and so, together as a parish, we can keep these monthly devotions! This weekend we celebrate the great Feast of Pentecost – the final celebration in the Easter Season and the great feast day of the Holy Spirit Himself. As you know, there are seven gifts that the Holy Spirit gives us. St. Alphonsus Liguori composed a beautiful prayer to the Holy Spirit based on asking Him for these seven gifts. It seems especially appropriate on this Pentecost Sunday to include it here in the bulletin:
Holy Spirit, Divine Consoler, I adore You as my true God, with God the Father and God the Son. I adore You and unite myself to the adoration You receive from the angels and saints. I give You my heart and I offer my ardent thanksgiving for all the grace which You never cease to bestow on me. O Giver of all supernatural gifts, who filled the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with such immense favors, I beg You to visit me with Your grace and Your love and to grant me the gift of holy fear, so that it may act on me as a check to prevent me from falling back into my past sins, for which I beg pardon. Grant me the gift of piety, so that I may serve You for the future with increased fervor, follow with more promptness Your holy inspirations, and observe your divine precepts with greater fidelity. Grant me the gift of knowledge, so that I may know the things of God and, enlightened by Your holy teaching, may walk, without deviation, in the path of eternal salvation. Grant me the gift of fortitude, so that I may overcome courageously all the assaults of the devil, and all the dangers of this world which threaten the salvation of my soul. Grant me the gift of counsel, so that I may choose what is more conducive to my spiritual advancement and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter. Grant me the gift of understanding, so that I may apprehend the divine mysteries and by contemplation of heavenly things detach my thoughts and affections from the vain things of this miserable world. Grant me the gift of wisdom, so that I may rightly direct all my actions, referring them to God as my last end; so that, having loved Him and served Him in this life, I may have the happiness of possessing Him eternally in the next. Amen. I don’t know about you, but it seems like just yesterday that we were entering the home stretch of the Lenten Season and celebrating the Sacred Paschal Triduum and Easter and here we are, now, in the final few weeks of the Easter Season. As I mentioned in a bulletin article a few weeks ago, the Easter Season is full of many celebrations – Baptisms, Confirmation, First Communion, May Crowning and, in just a couple of weeks, Graduation. At the end of the Easter Season we have two major celebrations – the first will be celebrated next weekend, the Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven. The following weekend we will celebrate the end of the Easter Season with the celebration of Pentecost. In order to help direct our thoughts to these great mysteries I wanted to include a reflection from the great Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine on the Ascension. Perhaps over the coming days we can spend some time in meditating on these words and preparing ourselves spiritually for the Ascension. These words come from a homily of St. Augustine on the Ascension:
“Our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of the Apostle: If you have risen with Christ, set your hearts on the things that are above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God; seek the things that are above, not the things that are on earth. For just as he remained with us even after his ascension, so we too are already in heaven with him, even though what is promised us has not yet been fulfilled in our bodies. Christ is now exalted above the heavens, but he still suffers on earth all the pain that we, the members of his body, have to bear. He showed this when he cried out from above: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? and when he said: I was hungry and you gave me food. Why do we on earth not strive to find rest with him in heaven even now, through the faith, hope and love that unites us to him? While in heaven he is also with us; and we while on earth are with him. He is here with us by his divinity, his power and his love. We cannot be in heaven, as he is on earth, by divinity, but in him, we can be there by love. He did not leave heaven when he came down to us; nor did he withdraw from us when he went up again into heaven. The fact that he was in heaven even while he was on earth is borne out by his own statement: No one has ever ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. These words are explained by our oneness with Christ, for he is our head and we are his body. No one ascended into heaven except Christ because we also are Christ: he is the Son of Man by his union with us, and we by our union with him are the sons of God. So the Apostle says: Just as the human body, which has many members, is a unity, because all the different members make one body, so is it also with Christ. He too has many members, but one body. Out of compassion for us he descended from heaven, and although he ascended alone, we also ascend, because we are in him by grace. Thus, no one but Christ descended and no one but Christ ascended; not because there is no distinction between the head and the body, but because the body as a unity cannot be separated from the head.” Holy Week begins this Sunday with our celebration of Palm Sunday. I would like to take a moment to invite all of our parishioners to participate as fully as possible in the celebrations that will mark Holy Week, the holiest week of the Church’s year. Mass on Holy Thursday is celebrated at 7:00 PM, which concludes with the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the Altar of Repose in the Atrium. Everyone is invited to spend time in prayer “in the garden” with our Lord. The time of adoration will conclude with the praying of Night Prayer at 10:00 PM. Good Friday’s celebration of the Passion of Our Lord begins at 12:30 PM. Stations of the Cross will be prayed on Good Friday evening at 6:30 PM. On Holy Saturday we have the traditional Blessing of the Easter Food in the Atrium at 9:00 AM. The Easter Vigil will begin at 8:00 PM that night in the Atrium Gardens. Masses for Easter Day are celebrated at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
Confessions will be heard during Holy Week on Monday morning at 9:00 AM and again on Tuesday afternoon at Noon. Please note that confessions will not be heard on Good Friday afternoon or evening, so please plan accordingly. The Easter Season will bring with it a multitude of celebrations. The first that will take place is on Saturday, April 22nd when one of our own parishioners, Mr. William Arnold will be ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Jeffrey Haines at the Cathedral. He will be followed by another one of our parishioners, Mr. John LoCoco later on this year. The transitional diaconate is a step on the path to the priesthood. The soon-to-be Deacon Arnold will be with us on Sunday, April 23rd at the 11:00 Mass as we celebrate this important milestone in his life and in the life of the parish and of the Church. On April 23rd we will celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday with a Holy Hour with Adoration and Benediction beginning at 3:00 PM in the afternoon. Confessions will be heard as well during this hour. The celebrations will pick up again the following weekend when we will be privileged to have Bishop Jeffrey Haines with us to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with our parish teens at 10:00 AM on Saturday, April 29th. Please note that because of this the 8:00 Saturday morning Mass will be celebrated as usual, but confessions will not be heard after the Mass in order to prepare the church for Confirmation. The following weekend we will celebrate First Communion, on Sunday, May 7th at 1:30 PM. Please pray for all those who will be celebrating the Easter Sacraments beginning at the Easter Vigil with our RCIA candidates and catechumen! Saturday, May 13th marks the 100th Anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady at Fatima. Because of the significance of this celebration our annual May Crowning will take place on that evening, Saturday, May 13th in conjunction with the evening Mass. May 13th will also see our first weddings of the year taking place – please be sure to keep in prayer all of those couples who will be married over the course of this coming year. Finally the Easter Season will also see the graduation of our 8th Graders from our parish school on Friday, June 2nd – please keep them in prayer as well as they prepare for the next step of their journey into adulthood. There are so many graces available to us during this Holy Week and in the coming Easter Season, may the Lord in His mercy help us to receive them and seek them out! Jesus Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alelluia.
It’s nice to hear the word “alleluia” after Lent! There often seems to be a tie with the coming of Spring and the joys of Easter and hopefully, particularly with Easter being a bit later this year even us Wisconsinites will have the joys of the warmth of spring which corresponds to the warmth and joy that fills our heart on this great feast day. Along with Christmas, Easter forms the pillar of the Church’s liturgical year – these two great mysteries of the Incarnation and the Resurrection sum up so many aspects of our faith and reveal to us the depth of God’s love for us – that He would send His only Begotten Son to save us and that He loves us so much that He desires for us to conquer the grave and to be with Him in heaven for all eternity. I thought on this joyous day to share with you words from St. Gregory of Nazianzus – St. Gregory lived from 329 AD – 390 AD. In an Easter homily, he once preached, he said: “This Day has salvation come to the world, the visible and unseen world. Christ is risen from the dead. Rise with Him! Christ has returned to Himself; return likewise. Christ is delivered from the grave; free yourselves from the bonds of sin. The gates of hell are opened, death is defeated, the old Adam discarded, the new has come. If any man lives in Christ, he is a new being: be renewed! This for us is the Feast of Feasts, the Festival of Festivals; as far above all the rest as the sun above the stars; not alone those related to the earth and to men, but even to those of Christ Himself, and celebrated in His honor…today we celebrate the Resurrection itself; not now as something to be hoped for, but as come to pass, and uniting in itself the whole world. Let each one of us then, during this time, bring here and offer to God as our festival gift, some fruit of our lives, whether great or small: provided it is one of the spiritual gifts that are pleasing to God, which each of us has in his power to offer. For the gifts that are truly worthy of God not even the angels can offer: even these the first of all creatures, intelligent, pure beings, who see and proclaim His glory in heaven…” Today is a day of rejoicing and of offering ourselves, as St. Gregory says, in joy back to the Lord – the Lord who has conquered sin and death – the Lord who has risen from the tomb. On behalf of myself and the entire Parish Staff – Happy Easter! In our last article we looked at how the sacramental character of Holy Orders conforms the priest to Christ, we are now going to examine three ways the priest resembles Christ, the Great High Priest. The first resemblance with Christ comes from the fact that the priest does not choose the priesthood for himself, it is not something that one can take on himself, it’s something which is given to him – he must be called to it. We hear Christ, in John’s Gospel say to His disciples: “you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you” (John 15.16). This is true for the priest himself, he has been chosen for it - it’s not something he takes for himself on his own initiative. In this we see a resemblance with Christ the Priest, because His own priesthood is a gift from His Father. For the priest this should be a constant reminder of the love that God has for him - that he has been chosen for so exalted a vocation.
The second resemblance we see between the priest and Christ the powers with which he is invested. The priesthood establishes an intermediary between God and the priest offers the gifts of human beings to God and the graces of God to human beings. The priest stands in the place of Christ and are clothed with His power. This power is something that comes from Christ Himself and entails the dispensing of the treasures and mercies of Christ Himself. We see this very clearly in the administration of the sacraments. If we look at the celebration of the Eucharist and the words of consecration, the priest says, “This is my Body, this is my Blood” – He speaks in the first person because he is acting in the person of Christ Himself. We see that too in the words of absolution on confession, “I absolve you” – once again speaking in the first person. This is a tremendous mystery and grace and in the words of Blessed Columba Marmion shows that that on earth there is nothing that can exceed the excellence of the priesthood. The final resemblance we will look at is rooted in the hypostatic union – that Christ is One Person with Two Natures – human and divine. In a certain way the priest bears in himself a divine element and a human element. Christ’s divinity was hidden under the veil of His humanity and, so too does the priest, under the exterior of a man, conceal within himself the invisible grandeurs of the priesthood. Such supernatural powers in such fragile hands! In one moment, at the word of the priest, bread becomes the Body and Blood of Christ. In one moment, at the word of the priest, a sinner is freed from his past sin, pardoned and made new again in grace. In our next article we will examine the call to sanctity which is an inherent part of the priesthood. (This article is part of a series of articles on The Sacraments which will appear in the bulletin over the course of this year.) We are continuing our examination of the sacraments and moving forward on our consideration of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In our last article we examined the reality of Christ’s own priesthood – that He is the Great High Priest. In order to understand who the priest it was necessary to understand Christ as Priest, since a priest is given a share in this priesthood and is meant to be another Christ – sacerdos alter Christus.
As we begin our examination of the priest as another Christ we must begin with an understanding of the sacramental character which is impressed on the soul by the Sacrament of Holy Orders. The effect of all the sacraments is to bind us more intimately to Christ and for priests this means being given a share in the priesthood of Christ. Sanctifying grace, along with the special characters of baptism, confirmation and holy orders are meant to perfect in the soul of the priest his resemblance to Christ. This sacramental character also consecrates him as one of Christ’s ministers and so, once again, both in who he is and what he does the priest resembles Christ in a particular and magnificent way. This sacramental character also invests the priest with spiritual powers. These powers are numerous – the first is that the priest is given power over the Body of our Lord (the Eucharist) and the Mystical Body of Our Lord (the Church). It is the priest who has the power to transform the bread and wine into the Sacred Body and Blood of Our Lord and to distribute the Eucharist and to guard the Eucharist from profanation and sacrilege. The priest also is given authority in the Church, to govern the people entrusted to his care according to Canon Law and in obedience to his bishop or superior. Furthermore the priest is also granted other powers by virtue of his ordination. The priest becomes a mediator between God and men, he both lifts up in prayer the needs of the members of the Church and with the use of the hands of the priest God gives His grace to the members of the Church. The priest intercedes on behalf of the people who are entrusted to his care. This is the origin of the fact that a Mass is offered each Sunday for the parishioners of the parish, this is a duty and an obligation of the priest to make sure a Mass for the people is offered every Sunday and Holy Day. We see the powers of the priest extend to the pardoning of sins. We have discussed, in the past, the Sacrament of Reconciliation and we see that it is the priest who is the minister of this sacrament. He has been given the “power of the keys” – to bind and loose human beings from their sin through the sacrament of penance. We can see, then, how the sacramental character of Holy Orders becomes a source of abundant grace for the priest and his work. This sacramental character is an indelible seal on the soul of the priest making him and calling him to be another Christ – a living reproduction of Christ with an eternal resemblance to Him and one who is completely consecrated to God. In our next article we will examine three specific ways the priest resembles Christ. (This article is part of a series of articles on The Sacraments which will appear in the bulletin over the course of this year.) Once again this coming Wednesday, the Church sets out on her annual retreat – Lent. This grace-filled time in the Church’s calendar is a time of repentance and conversion, a time of a sacrifice and discipline – it is a time to re-commit ourselves to being true and faithful disciples of Christ and to casting aside anything which prevents us from being who Christ has made us to be. It is a time of prayer and fasting and almsgiving – a time of deepening our spiritual practices and spiritual discipline with the hopes that over these coming weeks these practices and discipline will become habits which we carry on into the Easter Season and beyond. This time of Lent is also a time to focus more fully on the sufferings and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ as we prepare to commemorate the sacred events of the Lord’s Passion during Holy Week. As we prepare to enter this season of grace, I wanted to outline a few ways that we as a parish will keep this season as a community.
The first is Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting and abstinence. Please be sure to check the bulletin for rules on fasting and abstinence over the Lenten Season. Masses will be celebrated at 6:30 AM, 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Please also consider joining our annual Ash Wednesday Morning of Reflection hosted by the St. Mary’s Christian Women. The event is open to both men and women. This Lent we will be adding more times for confession. If you recall, over Advent, we added confessions on Tuesdays at Noon and we will pick this back up starting the Tuesday after Ash Wednesday. In addition, I will be leading Stations of the Cross in church every Friday during Lent at 6:30 PM and will then hear confessions starting at 7:00 PM. With our normal confession times on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning there should be a time that will work in everyone’s schedules. You will also find this weekend, in the Atrium, copies of the book, “7 Secrets of Confession” by Vinny Flynn. These books are available for free – we would simply ask that only one copy per household be taken, so as to ensure that as many people who would like copies are able to receive them. Once again, the confession times will be Tuesdays during Lent at Noon; Fridays from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM and again on Friday nights during Lent at 7:00 PM (following Stations of the Cross at 6:30 PM) and Saturday mornings at 8:30 AM. If you have not gone in a while the priest will be happy to help you and there are numerous resources on the internet and even smart phone apps that have not only the ritual for celebrating the sacrament, but an examination of conscience to help in preparing. It is my hope and prayer that every member of St. Mary’s goes to confession at least once over the Lenten Season. A reminder as well that the Stations of the Cross which we will be praying on Friday nights during Lent at 6:30 PM are a very powerful spiritual practice – consider making attendance part of your way of keeping Lent – St. Paul says, “if we have died with Him, we shall also live with Him.” Praying the Stations of the Cross was rooted in the inability of people to go to the Holy Land on pilgrimage to visit the sites of the events of the Passion and so, in a very real spiritual sense, when we pray the Stations we go on pilgrimage to visit and pray at those sacred sites. A plenary indulgence is available under the normal conditions for praying the Stations of the Cross. Lent will culminate with the celebration of Holy Week which begins on Palm Sunday. Masses are celebrated at the usual times on Palm Sunday and begin in the Atrium with the proclamation of the Gospel and Blessing of Palms. Mass on Holy Thursday is celebrated at 7:00 PM, which concludes with the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the Altar of Repose in the Atrium. Everyone is invited to spend time in prayer “in the garden” with our Lord. The time of adoration will conclude with the praying of Night Prayer at 10:00 PM. Good Friday’s celebration of the Passion of Our Lord begins at 12:30 PM. Stations of the Cross will be prayed again on Good Friday evening at 6:30 PM. On Holy Saturday we have the traditional Blessing of the Easter Food in the Atrium at 9:00 AM. The Easter Vigil will begin at 8:00 PM that night in the Atrium Gardens. Masses for Easter Day are celebrated at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. May this Lent of 2017 be a season of grace for us as individuals and for all of us as a parish! |
