Father James Whalen Spiritual Reading and Allocutio - Thursday February 22nd., 2007, 7:00 Pm

 from the Minutes of the 809th. Meeting of Regina Pacis Curia The 603rd. Meeting of the Senatus of Ontario Saint Theresa’s Church Hall- Thursday February 22nd., 2007, 7:00 Pm

The Meeting opened at at 7:00PM, with prayers led by our Spiritual Director, Fr. Whalen. The Spiritual Reading was taken from the Legion’s handbook page 57-58,  Suffering in the Mystical Body Every Christian must realize that we cannot pick and chose in Christ.  Mary realized this fully even in the joyful Annunciation .  Like Mary we must welcome the King of Glory and walk with the man of sorrows to be part of His Mission to souls and to share in its sequel of Glory . It follows then that suffering is always a grace. 

CATENA AND ALLOCUTIO

The Catena  was recited and led by Father Jim Whalen. It was taken from the writings of Bishop Fulton J Sheen. The Redemption of Mankind began at the Annunciation when Mary said yes to the Father’s request “ Would you make it possible for your Creator to suffer?”
