Ave Maria! Sometimes there is some good news about government… Since “Eucharist” means “Thanksgiving,” this story is well timed. (My thanks to Opinionated Catholic for spotlighting this story.) The State of Louisiana has modified its already beautiful state flag. Here’s the flag they already had:

Ave Maria! Friar Gabriel Cortes of the Franciscans of the Immaculate relates his journey in faith that led to his ministry with youth in Australia.

He mentions the devotion of his parents, the rosary and Eucharistic adoration as factors in his conversion. Ave Maria! +++ |

Ave Maria Meditations
To the Precious Blood of Jesus:
O Precious Blood of Jesus, infinite price of sinful man’s redemption, both drink and laver of our souls, Thou who dost plead continually the cause of man before the throne of infinite mercy; from the depths of my heart, I adore Thee, and so far as I am able, I would requite Thee for the insults and outrages which Thou dost continually receive from human beings, and especially from those who rashly dare to blaspheme Thee. +
Who would not bless this Blood of infinite value? Who doth not feel within himself the fire and love of Jesus who shed it all for us? What would be my fate, had I not been redeemed by this divine Blood? Who hath drawn it from the veins of my Savior, even to the last drop? Ah, this surely was the work of love. O infinite love, grant that every heart and every tongue may be enabled to praise Thee, magnify Thee and give Thee thanks now and for evermore. Amen. |
Ave Maria Meditations
 There, where my dear Jesus dwells, where He is enthroned in the tabernacle, there I wish to be kneeling continually. There, I wish to pray unceasingly: Jesus, I love You deeply. Hidden Love, I adore You. Abandoned Love, I adore You. Despised Love, I adore You. Love trampled underfoot, I adore You. Infinite Love, dying on the Cross for us, I adore You. My dear Lord and Savior, make it be that I am all love and expiation toward the Most Blessed Sacrament in the heart of Your most loving Mother Mary. Amen.
-by Maria Stang (a woman who persevered in her faith under the cruel Communist atheistic rule for many years and who taught and brought the faith to many, keeping the love of the Lord in the most Blessed Sacrament alive)
 God willing, the pastors of the Church will be able to renew the house of God which is the Church, placing the Eucharistic Jesus in the center, giving Him the first place. -the Most Reverend Athanasius Schneider: Dominus Est

 MAY 13TH: OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT/OUR LADY OF FATIMA OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT This title was given to our Blessed Mother in May 1868 by Saint Peter Julian Eymard to honor her in her relationship to the Holy Eucharist and to place her before us as a model in our duties and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lady gives witness to being Christian. In her conduct toward the Blessed Sacrament, we learn what ours should be! |

 Pope Benedict XVI writes in his Encyclical Sacramentum Caritatis on The Eucharist and the Virgin Mary
33. From the relationship between the Eucharist and the individual sacraments, and from the eschatological significance of the sacred mysteries, the overall shape of the Christian life emerges, a life called at all times to be an act of spiritual worship, a self-offering pleasing to God. Although we are all still journeying toward the complete fulfillment of our hope, this does not mean that we cannot already gratefully acknowledge that God’s gifts to us have found perfect fulfillment in the Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother. Mary’s assumption body and soul into heaven is for us a sign of sure hope for it shows us on our pilgrimage through time, the eschatological goal of which the sacrament of the Eucharist enables us even now to have a foretaste.

Fr. Dominic F.I. and Our Lady’s Chapel in New Bedford were featured in the local newspaper the Standard Times today. The 6th Anniversary of their Eucharistic Adoration program was spotlighted. Here is the article from their site SouthCoastToday.com
 A seven-hour Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Vigil will be held Sunday in the sanctuary of Our Lady?s Chapel.
NEW BEDFORD ? Wearing a simple gray robe and sandals, Father Dominic enters the newsroom of the city newspaper. He walks slowly with head bent, and surrounded by cubicles, computers and harsh fluorescent lighting, he is an anachronism, otherworldly ? 13th century meets 21st. He is the bearer of glad tidings, yet he speaks so quietly the listener strains to hear. The Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate will celebrate the sixth anniversary of Perpetual Adoration at Our Lady’s Chapel with a seven-hour Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Vigil beginning at 6 p.m. Sunday. The prayers will be offered for priests and religious. Everyone is welcome, he whispered. … more on SouthCoastToday.com |
