Mary in Books, Films, and Music Articles on Mary Gardens Vincenzina Krymow, our local subject matter expert on Mary Gardens and Marian flowers, posted Early U.S. Mary Gardens, an article based on her July 1 presentation on Radio Maria in the blogspot section of Paula Mucha's Marian Devotions website. Vincenzina also recently had her article, Mary Gardens--Theology of the Garden, published on Rebecca Evans' Faith and Flowers website. Vincenzina is scheduled to speak about "Black Madonnas" at 2:30 pm during our September 1 broadcast of the Living with Mary Today! series on Radio Maria. She also posted a blog on Plants of the Bible at BiblicalGardens.com. Radio Maria from The Marian Library Francesca Franchina, MS Ed., a long-time member of the Marianist Family, will be doing a series of Marian broadcasts through the local stations for Radio Maria WHJM (FM 88.7) in Anna, Ohio and WULM (AM 1600) in Springfield, Ohio. Called "Francesca and Friends: Why Mary?," the program airs every Wednesday from 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST focusing on what is going on in the world about Mary, how to speak with others about Mary, and Mary in Scripture. On Wednesday, August 24, 2011, Francesca Franchina talks about Fatima. What are you doing about it? What did Mary say at Fatima in 1917, and is she still saying it? Does the Fatima message of 1917 still need to be discussed, disseminated, taught and promoted? If so, why? How does this affect you, yours, where you live and the world? Call in to share how you have been inspired, transformed, changed or helped by the Fatima Message, developing devotion to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, and to the Precious Blood of Jesus. Reading the signs of the times is important, and intercessory prayer, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Reconciliation are paramount. Find out what is needed, ways you can help, and what you can do from wherever you are.

From the Marian Treasure Chest HOMAGE TO FATHER EMILE NEUBERT, S.M. (1878-1967) by Brother John M. Samaha, S.M. On August 29 we mark the anniversary of the entrance to eternity of Father Emile Neubert, Marianist extraordinaire. The Marianist Family offers tribute to this outstanding Marianist who was a renowned Mariologist and collaborator with Frank Duff, founder of the Legion of Mary, and with St. Maximilian Kolbe in promoting the honor of Mary. And this August we also welcome the English publication of Mary's Apostolic Mission and Ours, one of Neubert’s classics. For more than a quarter century Father Neubert served as rector of the Marianist International Seminary in Fribourg, Switzerland. Earlier, his groundbreaking dissertation about the patristic theology on Mary in the pre-Nicene Church was hailed as the first doctoral dissertation in theology centered on the Blessed Virgin Mary. His Marian scholarship and writing earned him membership in the Pontifical International Marian Academy based in Rome, and singular recognition in Mariological Society of France. He also enjoyed the reputation of a valued spiritual director. Father Peter Resch, one of his former students, characterized him as the "foremost doctor of Mariology among the sons of William Joseph Chaminade." A fellow countryman and contemporary, Most Reverend Paul Richaud, Archbishop of Paris, wrote to Father Neubert these thoughts of appreciation when the original French edition of La Mission Apostolique de Marie et la Notre first appeared in 1956. "It is always a grace for me to read your work. You excel in clear and simple words which contain a solid and profound teaching. Our dear Father Chaminade ... has bequeathed to you a real charisma for speaking of the Blessed Virgin. Drawing close to Mary under your guidance means approaching with ease and in complete security to the very channel of grace.... [This particular book] underscores an aspect of devotion to the Blessed Virgin which has not been sufficiently emphasized and responds in a most suitable way to the concerns of today's Christians.... You show the chosen and irreplaceable role which Mary holds in any apostolic endeavor." Archbishop Richaud stated further: "'Do whatever he tells you.' It is only the Mother who can make us attentive and responsive to Jesus' directives.... The apostolate is an art. Everything depends on the way it is done. It is only the Mother of Jesus who knows the ways of Jesus.... The apostolate is a sublime form of parenting. It is only the Mother of souls ... who can obtain for us this grace." The North American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS) has in stock this new English translation and other English editions of books by Father Emile Neubert. Dipping into the works of Father Neubert and using them to enhance our Marianist apostolic life is a way of offering our homage of respect and affection for this revered apostle of Mary.

Pope's Homily at Closing Youth Day Mass ... Dear young people, I pray for you with heartfelt affection. I commend all of you to the Virgin Mary and I ask her to accompany you always by her maternal intercession and to teach you how to remain faithful to God's word. I ask you to pray for the Pope, so that, as the Successor of Peter, he may always confirm his brothers and sisters in the faith. May all of us in the Church, pastors and faithful alike, draw closer to the Lord each day. May we grow in holiness of life and be effective witnesses to the truth that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God, the Savior of all mankind and the living source of our hope. Amen.

iPray: Sisters Praying with Technology
Source: Immaculata University (Immaculata, PA) August 13 2011 As a faculty member in IU's Theology department, Sister Sheila Galligan, knows a thing or two about God's grace, and about how to introduce students to innovative ways of communicating with their Higher Power. "Two interesting discoveries became the springboard for including a Virtual Prayer Chapel on each of my ANGEL course homepage," said Sister Sheila. "I was fascinated by the way that the Vatican and Villanova University had teamed up to produce a spectacular virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel. "Secondly, I noted that many students in the Insights and Images: Mary Rediscovered course expressed appreciation for the special tab titled 'Marian Prayer Corner.' So I created a Virtual Prayer Chapel that provides links to sites such as pray-as-you-go.org, Sacred Space, Creighton University's online ministry, and the Mary Page Prayer Corner...." |
