THE WAY OF THE CROSS

According to the method of
St. Alphonsus Liguori

"Excerpt from “A Manual of Prayers”

This Devotion arose first in Jerusalem, among the Christians who dwelt there, out of veneration for those sacred spots witch were sanctified by the sufferings of our Divine Redeemer. From the Holy City This devout exercise was introduced into Europe. When, in 1342. the Franciscan Fathers established their House in Jerusalem and undertook the Custody of the Sacred places of the Holy Land, they began to spread throughout the Catholic world the devotion of the Way of the Cross.
This excellent Devotion has met with the repeated approvals of the Holy See, and is enriched with many Indulgences ; to gain them it is necessary to meditate according to individual ability, on the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to go From one Station to another, if the Space and Number of persons will admit.

Blessed Palm Crosses

Blessed Palm Crosses are available upon request at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Seminary. As prescribed, these Palm Crosses have been blessed twice - on Palm Sunday using the pre-1955 Liturgy, and then on May 3rd, the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross using the old Roman Rite Ritual. Traditional use of these powerful sacramentals include the following: planting a blessed palm cross on each of the four corners of your property (first put it into a waterproof jar before burying it), keep one in your home, place one in your automobile, and keep one in your wallet.

The following testimonial from a Religious Order priest back in 1940 is one of countless examples of the power of this sacramental.

"... it was Cross blessing time in May, 1940. I had burned midnight oil making them and I had a box of them on my desk. A priest came visiting from our Monastery on his way to Mexican Missions in California. He made fun of me and my crosses. He said we had the Blessed Sacrament, why bother about those little things. For a moment I thought: Maybe he is right. Yet I told him to take some along, and finally he did. Two weeks after that, May 18th, Saturday night, 7:30 o'clock, they had that terrible earthquake in the Imperial Valley where he was stationed. The good Lord showed him what those crosses were good for. There was a Government school for 1300 children just across the street from him. It was a complete wreck. There was a Catholic church and school eight blocks from his. Both buildings were wrecked. Statues fell to the floor. The school had to be torn down. At his place, not even a statue came down - no damage whatsoever. He learned his lesson. The Blessed Sacrament was in the other church, too. After that I put a cross in the Tabernacle under the corporal to protect our dear, humble Savior."

We have a limited supply of these newly blessed Palm Crosses. Make your request as soon as possible.

What Are Rogation Days?

Earthquakes and other calamities afflicted the diocese of Vienne in Dauphiny (France) in the fifth century, and Saint Mamertus, who was Bishop of that Diocese, instituted a penitentiary procession with public applications on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before Ascension Day. In 816, Pope Leo III introduced it into Rome, and soon after it became a general observance throughout the Church.

The Litany of the Saints, the Psalms and Prayers sung during the Procession on these days are supplications: hence the name of 'Rogation Days' (rogare, to ask) applied to them. The object of these rotation applications is to appease the anger of God and avert the scourges of His justice, and to pray for the harvest.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Seminary will have a procession (with blessing of fields) and sung Mass beginning at 7:15 am on Monday May 27, Tuesday May 28, and Wednesday May 29. Everyone is welcome!
