Dedication of Our Lady of Martyrs, Rome May 13, 609 ADThe building that is now the Church of Our Lady of the Martyrs in Rome, was a pagan temple built by Emperor Hadrian as a reconstruction of the earlier pagan temple built and dedicated by Marcus Agrippa, son-in-law of Octavian Augustus, in about 126 AD. Some unbelievers call it the Pantheon, a "temple of all gods," but Romans call it the Rotonda after its massive dome. It ceased to be a pagan temple or used for any religious purpose in 395 AD, when Emperor Theodosius outlawed Paganism and commanded that all pagan temples be deoperationalized. In 608 AD, Emperor Phocas donated the building to the Papacy, Pope Bonifatius IV then reigning. On May 13, 609 AD, after clearing out the remaining pagan statuary, the building was consecrated as the Church of Our Lady of the Martyrs. Until the time of Pope Pope Gregorius III (731-741 AD), May 13 was celebrated as the Feast of All Martyrs and Saints, but when Gregory dedicated a new chapel on the Vatican Hill as All Saints on Nov 1, the Feast of All Saints was thereby transferred. The feast of the Consecration of Basilica Church of Our Lady of the Martyrs is celebrated on May 13.May 13: Our Lady of Succour, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Our Lady of Help, Nossa Senhora da Soccorro or Nossa Senhora da Ajuda«Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under this title began in the Church of St Augustine in Palermo, Sicily in the 14th century, and has since spread throughout the Augustinian Order. It began when Father Nicholas Bruno, theologian, preacher and prior of the friary there, who suffered from severe and long-term pains in his side, prayed to Our Lady for healing while meditating on a painting of Mary in which she used a stick or club to chase away the dragon and protect the infant Jesus; the artist was making refence to passages in Genesis and in Apocalypse that referred to the eternal enmity between The Woman and the serpent. That night, Father Nicholas received a vision of Mary and was healed. The painting received the title "Our Lady of Help," and the devotion began. Since 1804 AD the celebration has had its own liturgy.» Our Lady of Lichen, Poland |
May 13, 1813-1850 Apparitions of Our Lady of Lichen, Poland«In 1813, at the Battle of Leipzig, a pious and charitable Polish nobleman, Thomas Klossowski, lay wounded and feared he would die and not see his wife and children again, and prayed to Mother Mary, Our Lady appeared to him wearing a crown, an amaranth dress and a golden mantle, holding a white eagle in her right hand, she comforted him and promised that he would recover and return to Poland, that he must search out her image and publicize it. "My people will pray before this image and shall draw many graces at My hands in the hardest times of trial." After 13 years of searching, when he very nearly gave up, he suddenly found the image of Our Lady in a wayside shrine nailed to a tree in the village of Ligota, exactly as she had apppeared to him at the Battle of Leipzig. He took the image home, where he often found the image weeping, for which reason it is called Our Lady of Sorrows, and later built a chapel in the woods near his home at Lichen in the Wielkopolska or Great Poland in Poland. After his death in 1848, a shepherd Nicholas Sikatka was praying at this chapel when Our Lady appeared to him, warned that the sins of men was increasing, and that a chastisement would come, that many thousands would die, but that those who repented would be saved. After investigations, the parish priest of Lichen moved the image from Thomas' chapel to the parish church, on Sept 29, 1852 AD. She is called Our Lady of Lichen, but also Our Lady of Sorrows, the Queen of Poland.»May 13: Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament«St Peter Julian Eymard, of France, had a strong devotion to the Holy Eucharist and Our Lady and began his priestly life in the Society of Mary. But his heart burned with the desire to establish perpetual adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament exposed upon a royal throne and surrounded by a large court of adorers. On February 2, 1851 AD, at the shrine of Fourviere, the most Blessed Virgin had made him understand its necessity. 'All the mysteries of my Son have a religious order of men to honor them. The Eucharist alone has none....' After several years of prudent reflection and interior combat, encouraged by Pope Pius IX, he founded the Congregation of the Most Blessed Sacrament at Paris on May 13, 1856 AD" (St Peter Julian Eymard: Apostle of the Eucharist Novena, p. 20). The title of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament was first given to Mary by St Peter Julian Eymard in May 1868, while speaking to his novices. A few years later he described what her statue should look like: "The Blessed Virgin holds the Infant in her arms; and He holds a chalice in one hand and a Host in the other." He exhorted them to invoke Mary, "Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, pray for us who have recourse to thee!" Later, Pope Pius IX enriched the invocation with indulgences. Twice, Pope St Pius X did the same. On December 30, 1905, he granted a 300 days indulgence to the faithful who pray: "Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us." "This title, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, is perhaps the most meaningful of all," said Pope St Pius X. In 1921 the Sacred Congregation of Rite authorized the Blessed Sacrament Congregations to celebrate each year, on the 13th of May, a "solemn commemoration of the Blessed Virgin," with the intention of honoring Mary under the title of "Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament." And of course this Feast is still celebrated today with great joy by all the spiritual sons and daughters of St Peter Julian Eymard.»May 13, 1917 AD, Our Lady of Fatima, Portugal«Our Lady of Fatima, or in Portuguese Nossa Senhora de Fatima, refers to the Marian apparitions that occurred at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917 AD. The first apparition occurred on May 13th, and the last occurred on October 13th with the miracle of the sun. In a world where Our Lady has appeared hundreds of times throughout the centuries and worked tens of thousands of miracles, what makes the apparitions at Fatima so extraordinary is the prophecy of a coming world war and the secrets that were entrusted to the children who spoke with the Blessed Virgin Mary.
«The three children the Blessed Virgin appeared to were Lucia dos Santos, aged 10, and her cousins Francis and Jacinta Marto, aged 9 and 7. They were tending sheep in the Cova de Iria when they saw a woman "brighter than the sun," who exhorted them to do penance.
«The last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima occurred on October 13th, and there were about 70,000 people present for the event, among them atheists who did not believe the stories related by the children. It was a rainy day, and everyone was soaked and the earth was muddy and covered with murky puddles. The rain ceased at the beginning of the apparition, and at one point Lucia called out for everyone to look at the sun. Even the anti-Catholic paper Ordem later wrote: "…the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws – the sun 'danced' according to the typical expression of the people."
«It is almost comical that the unbelievers today will talk about 'mass hysteria' or attribute the miracle to merely being an illusion caused by staring at the sun. They conveniently omit from their theories the recorded fact that when the vision of the dancing sun ended the thousands of people who watched the vision and the ground they stood upon were all dry! So many in our day love to pretend that we are superior sophisticates, when the truth is that many are willfully blind, rejecting the Truth until the end rather than amending their lives. So be it.
«The Blessed Virgin showed the children a vision of hell, and also told them: "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war will end, but if men do not cease to offend God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI. When you see a night illuminated by a bright and unfamiliar light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish humanity for its crimes by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
«The children were also told that there would be a remarkable sign in the night sky that would precede a second world war. It occurred on January 25th, 1938 as bright lights taken for an aurora borealis that was seen all over the northern hemisphere, including Europe, the United States, and even North Africa. Lucia verified that it was the sign the Blessed Virgin had foretold, and indeed, Hitler invaded Austria within a few months.
«The Church has found the apparitions to be worthy of belief, and millions of faithful Catholics have travelled as pilgrims to the shrine at Fatima. As if to testify to the truthfulness of the apparitions she had related to the world, the body of Jacinta Marto was exhumed in 1935 and again in 1951, and was found to be incorrupt and surrounded by a pleasant odor on both occasions.»- IT IS A MORTAL SIN for a Christian to partake of, or to greet, Muslim Infidels or others on the occasion of "Ramzan Eid" or "Eid ul Fitr," a sin sufficient in itself as an Act of Apostasy to guarantee one Eternal Damnation;
