Thursday May 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) –

Catholic clergy led by former papal nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and Cardinals Robert Sarah, Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, Joseph Zen and Janis Pujats have joined an appeal “for the Church and the world” that warns that the COVID-19 pandemic is being used as a “pretext” by world leaders to “control” people, strip them of their fundamental rights, while providing a “disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond all control”

CONSECRATION OF CANADA TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY - May 1 2020

From the CCCB

CONSECRATION OF CANADA TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH, IN TIME OF PANDEMIC 1 May 2020

https://www.cccb.ca/site/images/stories/pdf/Marian_Consecration_1_May_2020.pdf

Prayer of Consecration Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, in this time of pandemic, we turn our gaze to you, and in Christ consecrate to you the faithful of our Diocese/Eparchy 5 together with all the people of Canada.

At the Annunciation, fear gave way to trust as you embraced the mysterious and loving plan of God, who through his providence, care and concern brought about newness of life in you and through you. Intercede, we pray, on our behalf as your children, Virgin most faithful. Grant us faith, hope and perseverance, as we strive to serve and bear witness to all persons, responding to the needs of those affected by this virus.

Standing at the foot of the Cross at Calvary, you united yourself with the sufferings of Christ and so uniquely contributed to the mystery of our redemption. We beseech you as Health of the sick, draw to yourself in maternal compassion the brothers and sisters of your Son Jesus and all those who are grieved by this pandemic. Strengthen the dying and comfort those who weep so that all may experience the healing grace of Christ our Divine Physician.

At the Cenacle, after the Resurrection, you accompanied the Apostles with prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. In your maternal care as Consoler of the afflicted, accompany healthcare professionals, all who minister to the sick and those who seek a cure to end this pandemic, that the Holy Spirit may renew the face of the earth.

To all of us, dearest Mary, Mother of all the living, be present and show forth your tenderness, as we raise our eyes to you who shines forth before the entire community as a merciful and compassionate companion on our journey. Time and time again, with burdens weighing heavily on their hearts and in their many necessities, the Christian faithful have sought refuge under your mantle of protection.

Come quickly to our aid at this time, Mother of Mercy, and deliver us from the dangers that surround us in our hour of need; watch over especially the elderly, the weak and the infirm, our children and the unity of our families, and all those who give of themselves selflessly in pastoral care to those in need until in your arms and in your gentle embrace we all find safety and solace.

R. Amen.

Historic Inaugural Virtual Canada 54 National Novena!

Next Virtual Canada 54 Launch is May 7th click here for details

 Above are a few images of the Historic 1947 Marian Congress 

During this Novena I pray for all those affected by the Covid 19 pandemic and I pray  also, for a return in Canada to the Faith of our Ancestors: the deep Faith on which our county was built and which was so evident during the Congress which was Ottawa’s greatest pilgrimage of faith and drew over a quarter million people to the city. No other occasion in the History of Ottawa induced as many people to come as far, and stay as long, as did the  Marian Congress

For a short summary of the Congress that I put together from several
Archived Newspaper Articles click here

Sadly since that time we have drifted so far away from God and His commandments 

that it seems like almost an impossible task to reverse this secular sinful tide.  

But with God and Mother Mary's Prayers on our behalf all things are possible! 

Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mama Mary!

Perpetual Adoration - World Centre of Prayer for Peace in Niepokalanów

The work of creating the Chapel of Perpetual Peace of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Niepokalanów was started in 2017. 

The creation of the Chapel was for many years the desire of the monastery and parish community, as well as pilgrims visiting this special place. Initially, it was expected that it would be a chapel serving the local communities and pilgrims. 

Design work commenced, commissioning the altar to Drapikowski Studio from Gdańsk. The concept of the altar arose. However, God's providence had other plans. In 2017, the letter of St. Maximilian and read it in the context of the resulting altar design. Already in 1934 Saint. Father Kolbe wrote from Japan to Poland: 

"I imagine the beautiful figure of the Immaculate Virgin in a great altar, and against it a monstrance between outstretched hands in the continuous display of the Blessed Sacrament." That was the shape of the altar's conceptual design. This extraordinary event was the direct reason why the Communita Regina della Pace Association proposed in November 2017 that the eighth star should find its place in Niepokalanów. 

Father Provincial Wiesław Pyzio agreed to this. Implementation of the project was commenced, which required carrying out a number of construction works and employing many contractors, and the chapel had to be organized from scratch, because the sacristy had been in this room before. 

The works were complicated and difficult because they could not disturb Masses and services held in the basilica.
