On This Feast of The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 2012






Miracle of Fatima: A Miracle of Biblical Proportions in Modern Times

From Satanic Priest to Man of Mary

MAKE THIS DEVOTION. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. IT DID MINE.





We KNOW Our Lady is in Heaven because of the strength of her intercession, especially visible in the conversions to poor sinners, as she instructs their hardened hearts, as she did the servants at the marriage feast:
"DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU."
John, Chapter 2

We KNOW Our Lady was ASSUMED INTO HEAVEN because she gave birth to the NEW ADAM, JESUS CHRIST
Who was born not from sinful flesh, but flesh that did not sin, nor did it inherit sin, for had it been otherwise, it would have meant that Jesus was less than Adam,
and therefore not God.
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD,
the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity,
with two natures:  man and human, hypostatically united.
The Mother of God, therefore, did not suffer ANY of the consequences borne to mankind
as the effects of original sin because she is
the Immaculate Conception.

ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO GOD
WHO HAS MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH
ALL ALL HIS CREATURES
WHO BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER
CAME TO US
IN THE FORM OF MAN,
BORNE OF A WOMAN, HIS OWN CREATURE,
WITHOUT ORIGINAL SIN.
AS CHRIST DID NOT DISDAIN THE WOMB OF A VIRGIN
IMMACULATE CONCEIVED,
COMING FROM THAT SAME WOMAN
HE COMES EVEN YET TO THOSE
WHO SEEK HER REFUGE.

God the Father be glorified in Your MOST OBEDIENT creature*.
God the Holy Ghost be glorified in your most trusting and most holy spouse.
God the Son be glorified in Your Perfect, most gracious Mother.








Regina Caeli, ora pro nobis.

Sequence for Easter Sunday


This sequence is traditionally sung as part of the Mass on Sunday during the day (not at midnight Mass) as well as Easter Monday).


Fra Angelico's "Resurrection and the Women at the Tomb" (1440-1441) in Florence, Italy


Victimae paschali laudes
immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
reconciliavit peccatores.
Mors et vita duello
conflixere mirando:
dux vitae mortuus,
regnat vivus.
Dic nobis Maria,
quid vidisti in via?
Sepulcrum Christi viventis,
et gloriam vidi resurgentis:
Angelicos testes,
sudarium, et vestes.
Surrexit Christus spes mea:
praecedet suos in Galilaeam.
Scimus Christum surrexisse
a mortuis vere:
tu nobis, victor Rex,
miserere.
Amen. Alleluia.

Translation from liturgical Latin to English:

May you praise the Paschal Victim,
immolated for Christians.
The Lamb redeemed the sheep:
Christ, the innocent one,
has reconciled sinners to the Father.
A wonderful duel to behold,
as death and life struggle:
The Prince of life dead,
now reigns alive.
Tell us, Mary Magdalen,
what did you see in the way?
I saw the sepulchre of the living Christ,
and I saw the glory of the Resurrected one:
The Angelic witnesses,
the winding cloth, and His garments.
The risen Christ is my hope:
He will go before His own into Galilee.
We know Christ to have risen
truly from the dead:
And thou, victorious King,
have mercy on us.
Amen. Alleluia.
