TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Just as the early church consecrated women living
alone in the world, today that consecration is available to women who take solemn vows as cloistered nuns
(different from religious sisters), women who follow a
way of life in communities called “secular institutes,”
and laywomen. Oddly, the ritual is not permitted for
religious sisters. The prayers talk about the woman’s
self-gift to Christ, and her self-gift to the Church. Up
until recent years, this was a solemn ceremony performed only for cloistered nuns under certain circumstances. In its new form, we have a ritual that revives
a very ancient and little-known
way of life. Today, a woman
can live independently at home,
without association with any
religious sisterhood or institute, yet be consecrated to holiness and service. Normally, a
ring and/or a veil may be given
in the liturgy of consecration. It
is a rite very different from religious profession, where
the sister makes promises or vows, and is rather an
expression of approval and blessing for a way of life
already embraced. Unlike ancient times, which valued
actual virginity, the new rite may be celebrated for
anyone provided there has never been a marriage and
the woman has always lived a virtuous life.
♥ “You can come to me (in Eucharistic Adoration) at any moment, at any time; I want to speak
to you and I desire to grant you grace!”
♥
~ Jesus to St. Faustina
When our Lord sees pure souls coming to visit Him in the
blessed Sacrament He smiles on them. They come with the
simplicity that pleases Him so much. ~ St. John Vianney
♥ If souls but understood the Treasure they possess in the Divine Eucharist, the Churches would overflow with adorers no
less by night than by day. ~ Blessed Dina Belanger
♥ We represent those in the world who do not know Jesus
during our Holy Hour of Adoration. ~ Blessed John Paull II

Divine Mercy Sacred Art
“The longer I live,
the more I realize the
impact of attitude on
life. Attitude, to me, is
more important than
the past, than education, than money, than
circumstances,
than
failures, than success, than what other
people think or say or do!
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or
break an organization...a school...a
home.
The remarkable thing is we have a
choice everyday regarding the attitude
we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past...we
cannot change the fact that people will
act in a certain way. We cannot change
the inevitable. The only thing we can do
is play on the one string we have - and
that is our attitude! I am convinced that
life is 10% what happens to me, and 90%
how I react to it and so it is with you…”
~ Charles Swindoll
