Sister M. Jean Frisk, Thursday, September 16, 2:30 PM on Mary's Seven Sorrows I
Sister M. Jean Frisk, Friday, September 17, 2:30 PM on Mary's Seven Sorrows II From the Marian Treasure Chest Auspice Vergine Deipara [Under the Auspices of the Virgin Mother of God] (by Brother John Samaha, S.M.) The Marianist Family is generally familiar with the Latin expression Maria duce, meaning under Mary's guidance. This was commonly used by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade and those around him. Auspice Virgine Deipara, under the auspices of the Virgin Mother of God, is another Latin expression used by Chaminade and his disciples. Consider using these watchwords or slogans appropriately in our written messages. They are helpful reminders of the intense Marian spirit of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade and his first followers. New Exhibit! The Marian Library will feature artwork by MB Hopkins, a Dayton-based artist. Seething and Soothing: The Madonna Between Hope and Havoc will be on display September 7 through November 12 in the Marian Library Gallery on the seventh floor of the University of Dayton's Roesch Library. It is free and open to the public. Hours for The Marian Library are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; Saturday and Sunday by appointment by calling 937-229-4214.

Mary Is Mother of the Civilization of Love The head of the Knights of Columbus is encouraging the faithful to turn to Mary as Mother of the civilization of love that we as Christians are working to build. This was one of the points addressed by Supreme Knight, Carl Anderson, on Wednesday in an event honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe. The knights encouraged the faithful to gather worldwide to pray the "Rosary of Guadalupan Love" for an initiative they called the "Universal Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe." The prayers centered in Mexico City, where this particular Rosary of Guadalupan Love was prayed in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was also held as part of the celebrations surrounding the 200th anniversary of Mexico's independence, which was declared Sept. 16, 1810. The event honored Mary as the "Shield and the Patroness of Our Liberty" and as the "Mother of the Civilization of Love." A communiqué from the knights noted that the particular rosary prayers were designed to "connect the messages Our Lady of Guadalupe gave to Saint Juan Diego with the seven sacraments of the Church and the Church as the sacrament of salvation." In Mexico City, Javier Najera read the address written by Anderson, who was himself unable to be in attendance.... Click here for the complete article. The director and editors of The Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
The Marian Library-IMRI The Marian Library is considered one of the world's largest collection of materials related to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The collection includes commentaries from early, medieval, and contemporary authors on the Marian texts in the Bible; homilies, sermons, books on the art, architecture, and iconography of Marian churches and shrines; and studies of the many ways that Marian symbols are part of the world's cultures. The library also has collections of statues, medals, stamps, postcards, videos, and CDs of Marian music. All are welcome to the library, especially to its ongoing exhibits of contemporary Marian art and the Crèche Room with its continuous display of Christmas nativity sets from all over the world. The International Marian Research Institute (IMRI), founded 1975, is an academic pontifical program empowered to grant theological degrees with specialization in Marian Studies. IMRI enables students to prepare for the licentiate of Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) and the doctorate of Sacred Theology (S.T.D.) with specialization in Mariology or, in partnership with UD's Department of Religious Studies, to obtain a master's degree in religious studies with a specialization in Mariology.
