Their false irenicism makes them blind to the glorious character of the anathema when spoken by the infallible Church. . .

When, out of a confused notion of charity, a soft-heartedness, or a superficial benevolence, we believe that we should leave the erring person in his error, we have ceased to take him seriously as a person and have no interest in his objective good."</span></b></p>Catolicidadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16835807011375533150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213201338979018220.post-112137640471315642024-02-23T21:37:00.000-08:002024-02-23T21:37:23.746-08:00SAINT DOMINIC AND THE ROSARY <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRiGP9f-uSXlMtFU0eOwiXQekBcHJcHExm7ejKy05KXDH4xUox4DV94w6NhWFvlLrFtyUNGy9XmvLUM0hV-Aep2B3164bLWN598jtWEnGIZHGpS-yW93jvJ5t38Ap8N5TdZijmJBUrzlSh42vK5VE4UWVGRUkX7-gjRf1Jqn2tnQwpPDQuGIObKYqqTaM/s1196/IMG_20240223_233219.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1196" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRiGP9f-uSXlMtFU0eOwiXQekBcHJcHExm7ejKy05KXDH4xUox4DV94w6NhWFvlLrFtyUNGy9XmvLUM0hV-Aep2B3164bLWN598jtWEnGIZHGpS-yW93jvJ5t38Ap8N5TdZijmJBUrzlSh42vK5VE4UWVGRUkX7-gjRf1Jqn2tnQwpPDQuGIObKYqqTaM/w361-h400/IMG_20240223_233219.jpg" width="361" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>(TAKEN FROM MIRACULOUS STORIES OF THE ROSARY BY SAINT LOUIS de MONTFORT)</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Saint Dominic, seeing that the gravity of people's sins was hindering the conversion of the Albigensians, withdrew into a forest near Toulouse, where he prayed continuously for three days and three nights. During this time he did nothing but weep and do harsh penances in order to appease the anger of God. He used his discipline so much that his body was lacerated, and finally he fell into a coma. At this point our Lady appeared to him, accompanied by three angels, and she said, "Dear Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world?" "Oh, my Lady," answered Saint Dominic, "you know far better than I do, because next to your Son Jesus Christ you have always been the chief instrument of our salvation." Then our Lady replied, "I want you to know that, in this kind of warfare, the principal weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter, which is the foundation-stone of the New Testament. Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter." So he arose, comforted, and burning with zeal for the conversion of the people in that district, he made straight for the cathedral. At once unseen angels rang the bells to gather the people together, and Saint Dominic began to preach. At the very beginning of his sermon, an appalling storm broke out, the earth shook, the sun was darkened, and there was so much thunder and lightning that all were very much afraid. Even greater was their fear when, looking at a picture of our Lady exposed in a prominent place, they saw her raise her arms to heaven three times to call down God's vengeance upon them if they failed to be converted, to amend their lives, and seek the protection of the holy Mother of God. God wished, by means of these supernatural phenomena, to spread the new devotion of the holy Rosary and to make it more widely known. At last, at the prayer of Saint Dominic, the storm came to an end, and he went on preaching. So fervently and compellingly did he explain the importance and value of the Rosary that almost all the people of Toulouse embraced it and renounced their false beliefs. In a very short time a great improvement was seen in the town; people began leading Christian lives and gave up their former bad habits. </span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">WHEN YOU START PRAYING THE DAILY ROSARY, YOU CAN STOP FEARING DEATH...</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Fifteen Promises of Mary Granted to those who Recite the Rosary Daily</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Blessed Virgin Mary Promised to Saint Dominic and to all who follow that "Whatever you ask in the Rosary will be granted."

Perfect knowledge of the things of faith, therefore, is not required, for an elementary knowledge suffices-some knowledge; similarly full use of reason is not required, for a certain beginning of the use of reason, that is, some use of reason suffices. To postpone Communion, therefore, until later and to insist on a more mature age for its reception must be absolutely discouraged, and indeed such practice was condemned more than once by the Holy See. Thus Pope Pius IX, of happy memory, in a Letter of Cardinal Antonelli to the Bishops of France, March 12, 1866, severely condemned the growing custom existing in some dioceses of postponing the First Communion of children until more mature years, and at the same time sharply disapproved of the age limit which had been assigned. Again, the Sacred Congregation of the Council, on March 15, 1851, corrected a prescription of the Provincial Council of Rouen, which prohibited children under twelve years of age from receiving First Communion. Similarly, this Sacred Congregation of the Discipline of the Sacraments, on March 25, 1910, in a question proposed to it from Strasburg whether children of twelve or fourteen years could be admitted to Holy Communion, answered: “Boys and girls are to be admitted to the Holy Table when they arrive at the years of discretion or the use of reason.”</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Mandatory rules</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>After careful deliberation on all these points, this Sacred Congregation of the Discipline of the Sacraments, in a general meeting held on July 15, 1910, in order to remove the above-mentioned abuses and to bring about that children even from their tender years may be united to Jesus Christ, may live His life, and obtain protection from all danger of corruption, has deemed it needful to prescribe the following rules which are to be observed everywhere for the First Communion of children:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>1. The age of discretion, both for Confession and for Holy Communion, is the time when a child begins to reason, that is about the seventh year, more or less. From that time on begins the obligation of fulfilling the precept of both Confession and Communion.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>2. A full and perfect knowledge of Christian doctrine is not necessary either for First Confession or for First Communion. Afterwards, however, the child will be obliged to learn gradually the entire Catechism according to his ability.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>3. The knowledge of religion which is required in a child in order to be properly prepared to receive First Communion is such that he will understand according to his capacity those Mysteries of faith which are necessary as a means of salvation (necessitate medii) and that he can distinguish between the Bread of the Eucharist and ordinary, material bread, and thus he may receive Holy Communion with a devotion becoming his years.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>4. The obligation of the precept of Confession and Communion which binds the child particularly affects those who have him in charge, namely, parents, confessor, teachers and the pastor. It belongs to the father, or the person taking his place, and to the confessor, according to the Roman Catechism, to admit a child to his First Communion.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>5. The pastor should announce and hold a General Communion of the children once a year or more often, and he should on these occasions admit not only the First Communicants but also others who have already approached the Holy Table with the above-mentioned consent of their parents or confessor. Some days of instruction and preparation should be previously given to both classes of children.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>6. Those who have charge of the children should zealously see to it that after their First Communion these children frequently approach the Holy Table, even daily if possible, as Jesus Christ and Mother Church desire, and let this be done with a devotion becoming their age. They must also bear in mind that very grave duty which obliged them to have the children attend the public Catechism classes; if this is not done, then they must supply religious instruction in some other way.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>7. The custom of not admitting children to Confession or of not giving them absolution when they have already attained the use of reason must be entirely abandoned. The Ordinary shall see to it that this condition ceases absolutely, and he may, if necessary, use legal measures accordingly.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>8. The practice of not administering the Viaticum and Extreme Unction to children who have attained the use of reason, and of burying them with the rite used for infants is a most intolerable abuse. The Ordinary should take very severe measures against those who do not give up the practice.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Given in Rome, on August 8, 1910.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Catolicidadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16835807011375533150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213201338979018220.post-50971968359316644042024-01-28T21:44:00.000-08:002024-01-28T21:44:50.510-08:00Take away from us our iniquities<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Pp9TRzOU49R5kQN70_gQ7rr1vL3Eirv9Z4KJ6kUR_9hhyphenhyphenj5gR3ACOFZMvYW3A6VyIuwW6hsBOytqfoeXT68i6hBG_yvqaFnRBRVMtZv3TsJ0jXAqNzJlsXmZskFyvHYbrI4vAPN0pgyrnNKPoSPM4BEC8QWXqCQq_YVGt90ys7RZYSS-WHBVJcLdrNE/s1620/FB_IMG_1706506883424.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1620" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Pp9TRzOU49R5kQN70_gQ7rr1vL3Eirv9Z4KJ6kUR_9hhyphenhyphenj5gR3ACOFZMvYW3A6VyIuwW6hsBOytqfoeXT68i6hBG_yvqaFnRBRVMtZv3TsJ0jXAqNzJlsXmZskFyvHYbrI4vAPN0pgyrnNKPoSPM4BEC8QWXqCQq_YVGt90ys7RZYSS-WHBVJcLdrNE/w426-h640/FB_IMG_1706506883424.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Take away from us our iniquities, we beseech Thee, O Lord; that being made pure in heart we may be worthy to enter into the Holy of Holies.
