Conferences #139 – Dr. Mark Miravalle on Long Island ( 43min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

At the second talk at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island in Manorville, Long Island, NY for a Day of Prayer in honor of The Lady of All Nations. Dr. Mark mentions that the fifth Marian dogma is already a doctrine of the Church and the petition drive for this dogma that is so clearly called for at the Amsterdam apparitions of The lady of All Nations starting in the 1940s was already and old idea. In fact, twenty-five years before these apparitions, petitions for this dogma were started by none other than Cardinal Mercier who was joined soon afterwords by St. Maximilian Kolbe. Dr. Mark systematically answers the following questions:

  • What is a dogma?
  • If there is a controversy surrounding this then won’t a dogmatic declaration just increase this problem?
  • What do the titles Coredemptrix, Advocate, Mediatrix mean and are they scriptural?
  • How many Marian Dogmas are there?
  • Why is a dogma needed so urgently if it is already a doctrine of the Church?

This is the second talk in a three part series from a conference on Long Island, NY on May 28, 2011:

Fifth Marian Dogma Conference

Monday, December 13th, 2010

Ave Maria!

This is a video of an event last March in Rome near the Vatican which we live streamed on AirMaria in Conjunction with Inside the Vatican magazine. You can see many FI sisters in the audience.

Clergy from the Philippines, Nigeria, Argentina, Spain, India, and even an Anglican professor from the United States, gathered together under the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica in March to present papers in support of a solemn declaration of a fifth Marian Dogma. The day-long conference, hosted by Inside the Vatican magazine, explored the titles of “Coredemptrix,” “Mediatrix of All Graces” and “Advocate of the People of God,” and how the Church’s definition of Mary with these titles would affect the faith of both Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

Ave Maria!

For the introduction to our Symposium “Mother of the Church” on Marian Coredemption at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, La Crosse, Wisconsin on August 21, 2010, Fr. Peter Fehlner, Mariologist and rector of the shrine, gives a formal introduction to the symposium. He explains the title of the symposium “Mother of the Church” and what it means to call Mary this, relating it to the 8th Chapter of Lumen Gentium of Vatican II and the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe and then gives a logical outline of the upcoming talks and how they relate to the prerogatives of Mary as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate.

Roving Reporter #116 – The Feast of the Covo ( 11min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Every August here in the countryside of Campocavallo, Italy, the first Sunday of the month is set aside to honor the Queen of the town, the Madonna of Campocavallo. The residents of this town- located in the “campagnia”, or countryside – gather together, fashion with their own hands, and present a unique offering to the Queen, whose sanctuary (Beata Virgine Addolorata) is the heart of the town and houses the miraculous image of the Sorrowful Mother. The offering, roughly the size of a Hummer automobile or larger, is church or religious structure constructed of steel, wood, and, most importantly, the grain of the local fields. The members of a group called “The Covo” and comprised of lay people (Italians, obviously) male and female, young and old. This year the offering was a replica of the lovely Basilica of Pompei, located in the southern part of Italy.

I had the privilege of observing and filming, over a period of 5 or 6 months, the work of the Covo, and I present to you my own offering, albeit hastily done and always incomplete, to the same Queen of Campocavallo, whose feast day happens to be the day of my birth.

Ave Maria!

Mary Vitamin – Sixth Joy of Our Lady

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Mary Vitamin

Mary Vitamin for August 23rd

Topic: Our Lady’s Joy in the Resurrection of Her Son

(The sixth mystery in the Franciscan Crown — Feast August 26)

Quote:

St. Teresa of Avila

One day after receiving Communion, it seemed most clear to me that Our Lord sat beside me; He told me that immediately after His resurrection He went to see our Lady because she then had great need and that the pain she experienced so absorbed and transpierced her soul that she did not return immediately to herself to rejoice in that joy. By this I understood how different was this other transpiercing, the one of my soul. But what must have been that transpiercing of the blessed Virgin’s soul! He also said that He had remained a long time with her because it was necessary in order to console her.

St. Teresa of Avila, Spiritual Testimonies, (ICS Publications: 1985), 390-91.

Quote used in Mary Vitamin #153

Meditation:

Imagine after days of painfully placing herself in God’s presence in prayer, with the agony of the Cross fresh before her mind’s eye, what a joy it was for our Lady to see the Lord in glory, alive and well and to speak with Him with no effort on her part.

I Peter 1:6-9

There is cause for rejoicing here. You may for a time have to suffer the distress of many trials; but this is so that your faith, which is more precious than the passing splendor of fire-tried gold, may by its genuineness lead t0 praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ appears.

When Our Lord appeared to Our Lady and “remained a long time with her because it was necessary to console her” did Our Lady ask about her holy spouse and parents? Did she receive “news” from the Lord about the happiness experienced by her beloved family members? Was this a part of Our Lady’s joy in the Resurrection? She saw her Son’s victory over death and the consequences for those she loved.

Resolution:

Today before beginning my usual prayers, I will call to mind the visit of Our Lord to Our Lady after the Resurrection. I will try to enter prayer with the joy of Our Lady and remember that it took her a long time with the Lord before she experienced the joy of the Resurrection.

Marian Vow:

Father Gabriel Allegra, O.F.M.

Precisely here is the essence of consecration: always to look carefully at the Immaculate Mother. Her mere look will indicate her wishes, will help one to put them into practice. And thus we will generously and easily do the will of the Father.

Mary’s Immaculate Heart, A Way to God, (Franciscan Herald Press: 1985), 76.

I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Thanks be to God for graces received.
