Vigil of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary – A Day of FASTING and ABSTINENCE. On this Vigil day, Catholics stand in the remains of the night as the dawn makes its appearance. This resplendent dawn is that Singular Conception, the Immaculate Conception, who ushers in the Light of Christ. A day of Fast and Abstinence following the Rubrics of Pope Pius X for the Universal Calendar of the Church. “It is through the most Blessed Virgin Mary, that Jesus Christ came into the world and, it is also through her, that He will reign in the world.” – St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673-1716)

Jesus Christ gave more glory to God the Father by submission to His Mother during those thirty years than He would have given Him in converting the whole world by the working of the most stupendous miracles. Oh, how highly we glorify God when, to please Him, we submit ourselves to Mary, after the example of Jesus Christ, our sole Exemplar!

-St Louis de Montfort

[cegodaltonico]

"Toda a sua vida Maria permaneceu oculta; por isso o Espírito Santo e a Igreja a chamam Alma Mater - Mãe escondida e secreta. Tão profunda era sua humildade, que, para ela, o atrativo mais poderoso, mais constante era esconder-se de si mesma e de toda criatura, para ser conhecida somente de Deus."

São Luís Maria Grignion de Montfort

St. Louis de Montfort

[catholic-saint-tournament]

I’ve not seen him mentioned yet so I’d like to nominate St. Padre Pio! I’d also like to suggest in case they haven’t been added: St. John Crysostom, St. Phillip Neri, St. Louis de Montfort, St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. John Vianney, St. Rose of Lima, St. Thomas Moore, and St. Martin de Porres!

I’m sorry, I’m just so excited about this poll!!

I can smell a Catholic from a mile away and THESE are ridiculously good suggestions. SO many classics beyond the famous martyrs. Padre Pio gets another vote, St John Chrysostom enters the game, St Philip Neri gets another vote, as do St Rose and St Martin, but the others are new!

And c'mon, Louis de Montfort and Alphonsus Liguori? The best confessoin bois? C'MON we need more nominations for them!!!

Palavras de São Luís Maria Grignion de Montfort sobre o Santo Rosário: "Não é possível exprimir por palavras quanto a Santíssima Virgem preze o Rosário mais do que qualquer outra devoção, ou quão magnânima ela será a recompensar aqueles que trabalham a preg��-lo, implantá-lo e rezá-lo; o Rosário rezado conjuntamente com a meditação dos mistérios: eleva-nos gradualmente ao conhecimento perfeito de Jesus Cristo; purifica as nossas almas do pecado; nos torna vitoriosos sobre todos os nossos inimigos; facilita-nos na prática das virtudes; provoca em nós um amor ardente por Jesus; enriquece-nos de graças e de méritos; proporciona-nos os meios para pagar as nossas dívidas quer diante de Deus quer diante dos homens e, alcança-nos toda a espécie de graças; os pecadores alcançam perdão; as almas sedentas são saciadas; os prisioneiros veem as suas amarras cair por terra; os que choram voltam a sorrir; os que sofrem tentação recuperam a paz; os necessitados alcançam auxílio; os religiosos revigoram a sua consagração; os ignorantes instruem-se; os vivos vencem as suas vaidades; os defuntos recebem, em forma de sufrágio, a misericórdia esperada.

Sê perseverante, portanto, e não duvides que receberás no céu uma coroa resplandecente, que te será dada como recompensa pela tua fidelidade.”

MONTFORT, São Luís Maria Grignion de O Admirável Segredo do Santíssimo Rosário, nº 26, 81, 115, 150.

The whole earth is full of her glory, especially among Christians, by whom she is taken as the protectress of many kingdoms, provinces, dioceses and cities. Many cathedrals are consecrated to God under her name. There is not a church without an altar in her honour, not a country nor a canton where there are not some miraculous images where all sorts of evils are cured and all sorts of good gifts are obtained. Who can count the confraternities and congregations in her honour? How many religious orders have been founded in her name and under her protection? How many members in these confraternities, and how many religious men and women in all these orders, who publish her praises and confess her mercies! Thee is not a little child who, as it lisps the Hail Mary, does not praise her. There is scarcely a sinner who, even in his obduracy, has not some spark of confidence in her. Nay, the very devils in Hell respect her while they fear her.

Daily Catholic Wisdom

Here we have the great wonder of heaven and earth, the prodigious excess of the love of God...God became man without ceasing to be God. This God-man is Jesus Christ and his name means Savior.

Happy Feast Day

Our Lady of the Rosary

Feast Day: October 7

"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, despite the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory.' Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as a sorcerer do who practices black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and will save your soul, if-- and mark well what I say-- if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death to know the truth and obtain contrition and pardon for your sins." -St. Louis de Montfort from The Secret of the Rosary.
