“Bishop Luciano Giovanntti wrote a letter explaining the Eucharistic miracle in Rosano, Italy. On Easter Sunday, April 4, 1948, a group of people praying noticed a tear drop that ran down from the eye of a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The statue was life-size and was donated by a devout person during WWII. It featured Christ’s face with an expression that invites all to prayer, and Christ’s Heart was in the center of His chest with the crown of thorns. A few months later in June, some nuns and others witnessed blood flowing from the statue again, and it continued from 1948 to 1950. Mother IIldegarde Cabitza, the head nun of the community, also witnessed it, and they decided to move the statue to a secret room at the monastery archives. This is also where all the finger towels and purificators that were soaked with the Blood from the statue were kept. Later the Bishop of the diocese of Arezzo learned about it, and the Holy Office sent Fr Luigi Romoli to interview the nuns. He disagreed with the nuns about keeping the statue in a secret room. On November 14, 1950, Holy Office ordered the statue out of the secret room and later in 1952 it was sent back to Rosano. The community of nuns in Rosano experienced the events with joy and great devotion.”- Al Alvord Youtube post

Why go to mass?
Why go to mass? A question we have likely uttered ourselves and still utter. ASL Catholic Media answers this common question. Children may say the same thing but may have less conviction about it. The aim in this videos is to end the grumblings of amongst teenagers and adults once and for all. The rationale should deter contrary thoughts that arise. Ideally so that we and they come to mass as frequent as we can. ASL Catholic Media delivers such videos in mother tongue of the Deaf, in sign.
Why go to mass? The video above shares three important reasons.
Moreover, we go to mass to render our homage to God. We give him his just due. What? Two words for thought “Exitus” and “Redditus” Exitus is latin for coming from. Redditus is latin for returned or restored. In short due to the fall of adam man is unable to give to God proper homage. Thus all of humanity could not give God the honor he desires back. The paschal mystery of Jesus Christ thus restores man’s ability to give proper honor to God. It is only in Christ that man can do this. When we go to mass and give God his proper homage while being in the state of grace, we receive new life in us. We receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (grace) upon consuming our Lord’s body, blood, soul, and divinity. Thus common with God, the full circle is accomplished. #something to scratch your head about.
May the Month of our Mother Mary
“May the Month of our Mother Mary” is given to us by ASL Catholic Media and St. Josemaria institute.
“May the Month of our Mother Mary
In this podcast, Fr. Javier del Castillo celebrates Mother’s Day by meditating on our Mother Mary, and why we should turn to her powerful intercession, especially in the Holy Rosary. He also reflects on the theology behind repetitive and intercessory prayer, and St. Josemaria’s suggestions for how to honor Mary in the month of May.
What you will hear:
– How Mary anticipates the needs of others in the Gospels
– How becoming children of Mary leads to becoming children of God
– Why we should turn to our Mother Mary’s powerful intercession, especially in the Holy Rosary
– How we are missing out on graces from our Lord when we don’t ask for them
– The theology behind repetitive and intercessory prayer
– St. Josemaria’s suggestions for how to honor Mary in May
Quotes: “We are in the month of May, which is arguably the most beautiful month of the year… therefore it is very appropriate for us to celebrate this month as the month of Our Mother, in fact, we celebrate Mother’s Day for very good reason in the month of May. ”
“For the unceasing prayer of a just man is of great avail.” (James 5:16)
“Think bigger than favors just for me; think of the Church, think of souls, think of conversions, think of vocations, vocations to celibacy, vocations to marriage, vocations to the priesthood, vocations to religious life, … for people who desire to take their baptismal call seriously. We need a lot of those people, the laity…. We need to ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers through the intercession of Mary, especially this month.”
“Yes, [the Rosary] is repetitive, but it shouldn’t grow old. And, I think, the Lord wants us to repeat it, because he wants to test our desire. He wants to make our desire deliberate and make it grow.”
“Mary lived with her eyes fixed on Christ, treasuring his every word: ‘She kept all these things, pondering them in her heart’ (Lk 2:19; cf. 2:51). The memories of Jesus, impressed upon her heart, were always with her, leading her to reflect on the various moments of her life at her Son’s side. In a way those memories were to be the “rosary” which she recited uninterruptedly throughout her earthly life.” (St. John Paul the Great, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, no. 11)
