"The Virgin Mary was taken up to the heavenly bridal chamber where the King of kings is seated on a heavenly throne." - Antiphon from Vespers of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary On the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary we celebrate Our Lady being assumed, body and soul, into Heaven where she is fully united to her Creator and Lover of her soul. So too on Sunday did we celebrate the reception of Postulants into the chamber of our community, where each Sister lives with her Divine Spouse.
 Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee
Heart of Mary, I implore Thee Heart of Joseph, good and just… In these three Hearts I place my trust.  "Suscipe me, Domine, secundum eloquium tuum et viviam,
et non confundas me ab expectation mea." After the profession of Holy Vows, wherein, the Religious is now perpetually professed, she implores Our Lord to receive her in His great mercy chanting: “Receive me, O Lord, according to Thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my hope” (from Psalm 119)  "Through her, Jesus came to us; through her we should go to Him.
If we are afraid of going directly to Jesus, who is God, because of his infinite greatness, or our lowliness, or our sins, let us implore without fear the help and intercession of Mary, our Mother." True Devotion: 84  "God the Father wishes Mary to be the mother of His children until the end of time ..." True Devotion #29 Mother's Day in the convent brings about a thrice-fold thanksgiving in the heart of every Sister.
 The apparitions of Our Blessed Mother retain a special place of honor within our Marian community, as we strive to practice all she requested.
 Last weekend we said goodbye to our dear friend "Al" - also known as the "Alleluia". During the season of Septuagesima, the Church bids farewell to this glorious word and removes it from the Sacred Liturgy because it is so closely untied to the mystery of our Lord's Resurrection.
 Last Saturday, on the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lady in the temple, we witnessed the most awe-inspiring profession of perpetual vows of Sr. Mary Vianney, MSSR and Sr. Caritas Marie, MSSR. Heaven was rejoicing as Jesus gained two beautiful brides for eternity. Join us in rejoicing with the angels and thanking God for His abundant blessings! Perpetual Profession Slideshow O Jesus, present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, come into my heart! These sweet words to the heart of Jesus was frequently heard resounding from the lips of little ones. Last weekend, our sisters had the wonderful opportunity of traveling to Fort Bragg - in the spirit of Our Lady's Visitation - to bring back Magnificat Days to the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
 "Grant we beseech Thee, O Almighty God, that we, who in our affliction put our trust in Thy mercy, may ever be defended by Thy protection against all adversity.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen." - Collect of the Mass of Rogation |
