S AINT A DELAIDE P ARISH AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM For the Greater Glory of God MARCH 25, 2018 GO OUT TO ALL THE WORLD AND TELL THE GOOD NEWS.
SHORT MEDITATIONS ON THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS Cardinal John Henry Newman.Begin with an Act of Contrition. The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is laid in the arms of His Blessed Mother V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee. R. Because by thy holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world. HE is Thy property now, O Virgin Mother, once again, for He and the world have met and parted. He went out from Thee to do His Father's work and He has done and suffered it. Satan and bad men have now no longer any claim upon Him too long has He been in their arms. Satan took Him up aloft to the high mountain; evil men lifted Him up upon the Cross. He has not been in Thy arms, O Mother of God, since He was a child but now thou hast a claim upon Him, when the world has done its worst. For thou art the all-favoured, all-blessed, all-gracious Mother of the Highest. We rejoice in this great mystery. He has been hidden in thy womb, He has lain in thy bosom, He has been suckled at thy breasts, He has been carried in thy arms and now that He is dead, He is placed upon thy lap. Virgin Mother of God, pray for us. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c.. The Fourteenth Station: Jesus is laid in the Sepulchre V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee. R. Because by thy holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world.. JESUS, when He was nearest to His everlasting triumph, seemed to be farthest from triumphing. When He was nearest upon entering upon His kingdom, and exercising all power in heaven and earth, He was lying dead in a cave of the rock. He was wrapped round in burying-clothes, and confined within a sepulchre of stone, where He was soon to have a glorified spiritual body, which could penetrate all substances, go to and fro quicker than thought, and was about to ascend on high. Make us to trust in thee, O Jesus, that Thou wilt display in us a similar providence. Make us sure, O Lord, that the greater is our distress, the nearer we are to Thee. The more men scorn us, the more Thou dost honour us. The more men insult over us, the higher Thou wilt exalt us. The more they forget us, the more Thou dost keep us in mind. The more they abandon us, the closer Thou wilt bring us to Thyself Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, &c. LET US PRAY God, who by the Precious Blood of Thy only-begotten Son didst sanctify the standard of the Cross, grant, we beseech Thee, that we who rejoice in the glory of the same Holy Cross may at all times and places rejoice in Thy protection, through the same Christ, our Lord. End with one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be, for he intention of the Sovereign Pontiff. HE IS RISEN ALLELUIA

When one is in line to go to confession one feels all these things, even shame, but then when one finishes confession one leaves free, grand, beautiful, forgiven, candid, happy. This is the beauty of confession! ~Pope Francis The Sanctuary Lamp in the Church is lit to the Glory of God in loving birthday remembrance of Nunziata Damico.

In some churches, these items may be removed from the sanctuary altogether. This old custom of veiling religious images is a way of focusing on the penitential aspect of this liturgical season. It reminds us in a visual way that our faith in all its glory is made possible only through the work of Christ in his suffering and death on the cross. When we cover or remove these holy and sacred images that we are so accustomed to, we are starkly confronted and reminded in a poignant way of all that Christ has won for us. The tradition is often practiced during the last two weeks before Easter, starting on Passion Sunday (now called the fifth Sunday of Lent) and ending on Good Friday. This time period is known on the old liturgical calendar as Passiontide. Even though this period is no longer officially called by this name, the tradition is still practiced in many places. Then, as in a dramatic unveiling, the holy images are again revealed for the Easter Vigil to mark the end of the penitential season. The joy of the Easter season and the hope of the Resurrection then comes to the forefront.
