Anima Christi

Anima Christi, sanctifica me. Corpus Christi, salva me. Sanguis Christi, inebria me. Aqua lateris Christi, lava me. Passio Christi, conforta me.

O bone Jesu, exaudi me. Intra tua vulnera absconde me. Ne permittas me separari a te. Ab hoste maligno defende me. In hora mortis meae voca me.

Et iube me venire ad te, Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te.

In saecula saeculorum.

All Souls Day and the Month of November

On All Souls Day each priest has the privilege of saying three Masses; one for a particular intention, one for the intentions of the Holy Father and one for All the Souls in Purgatory. The people are also able to attend the three Masses, offer them for the same intentions, and receive Holy Communion at TWO of them. We have scheduled three public Masses so that you will be able to take part in this beautiful custom. November is the month of the Holy Souls. On the days from November 1st through the 8th inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. Partial indulgences are granted to those who recite Lauds or Vespers of the Office of the Dead and to those who recite the prayer

“Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domini, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Requiescant in pace.”

(Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.)

Baltimore Catechism

LESSON TWENTY-SEVENTH:

On the Sacramentals

Q. 1068. How does the sign of the cross express the mystery of the Unity and Trinity of God?

A. The words, "In the name," express the Unity of God; the words that follow, "of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," express the mystery of the Trinity.

Q. 1069. How does the sign of the cross express the mystery of the Incarnation and death of our Lord?

A. The sign of the cross expresses the mystery of the Incarnation by reminding us that the Son of God, having become man, suffered death on the cross.

Q. 1070. What other sacramental is in very frequent use?

A. Another sacramental in very frequent use is holy water.

Q. 1071. What is holy water?

A. Holy water is water blessed by the priest with solemn prayer to beg God's blessing on those who use it, and protection from the powers of darkness.

Q. 1072. How does the water blessed on Holy Saturday, or Easter Water, as it is called, differ from the holy water blessed at other times?

A. The water blessed on Holy Saturday, or Easter Water, as it is called, differs from the holy water blessed at other times in this, that the Easter water is blessed with greater solemnity, the paschal candle, which represents Our Lord risen from the dead, having been dipped into it with a special prayer.
