Philadelphia Chapter

The Latin texts for the Holy Rosary were gathered from various sources and edited by Dr. Rudolph Masciantonio, Chairman Emeritus of the Latin Liturgy Association, Inc., Philadelphia Chapter, and William A. Torchia, Esq., Chairman. If there are any typos, we apologize: Quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus!

Each decade of the Holy Rosary consists of:

*The Pater Noster, said once
*The Ave Maria, said ten times
*The Gloria Patri, said once.
(See belos for the Latin texts of the Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Gloria Patri.)

*The Fatima Prayer (since 1917) In Latin Verse:

V. Nostris, O Jesu, debitis indulge;
Erue nos ab ignibus inferni.

R. Caelique portas universis pande,
Mis(e)ris praesertim.

Sign of the Cross:

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed:

V. Credo in Deum Patrem Omnipotentem et in Jesum Christum Filium Ejus Unigenitum Dominum Nostrum qui conceptus es de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, crucifixus, mortuus et sepultus. Descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis. Ascendit ad caelum sedet ad dexteram Patris Omnipotentis; et iterum venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos.

R. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, Sanctam Ecclesiam Catholicam, communionem Sanctorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer (The Pater Noster):

V. Pater noster qui es in caelis. Sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra.

R. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

For the Attainment of Faith, Hope, and Charity, we pray three Ave’s:

V. Ave Maria gratia plena. Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.

R. Sancta Maria Mater Dei ora pro nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Salve, Regina! Mater misericordiae, vita dulcedo et spes nostra salve! Ad te clamamus, exules filii Evae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

Prayer to Saint Michael:

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.

Other additional optional prayers:

The Memorare:

Memorare O piissima Virgo Maria non esse auditum a saeculo quemquam ad tuum currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilio, tua petentem suffragia esse derelictum. Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te Virgo Virginum Mater curro. Ad te venio coram te peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere sed audi propitia et exaudi. R. Amen.

Prayer of St. Aloysius Gonzaga:

O Domina mea, sancta Maria, me in tuam benedictam fidem et singularem custodiam et in sinum misericordiae tuae, hodie et quotidie et in hora exitus mei. Animam meam et corpus meum tibi commendo. Omnem spem et consolationem meam, omnes angustias et miserias meas, vitam ac finem vitae meae tibi committo ut per tuam sanctissimam intercessionem et per tua merita omnia mea dirigantur et disponantur opera secundum tuam tuique Filii voluntatem. R. Amen.

Prayer During the Month of October:
In Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Quamquam pluries, he prescribed that this prayer to St. Joseph be added to the recitation of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary during the month of October.

Ad te, beate Joseph, in tribulatione nostra confugimus, atque, implorato Sponsae tuae sanctissimae auxilio, patrocinium quoque tuum fidenter exposcimus. Per eam, quaesumus, quae te cum immaculata Virgine Dei Genitrice conjunxit, caritatem, perque paternum , quo Puerum Jesum, amplexus es, amorem supplices deprecamur, ut ad hereditatem , quam Jesus Christus acquisivit Sanguine suo, benignus respicias, ac necessitatibus nostris tua virtute et ope succuras. Tuere, O custos providentissime divinae Familiae, Jesu Christi sobolem electam; prohibe a nobis, amantissime Pater, omnem errorum et corruptelarum luem; propitius nobis, sospitator noster fortissime, in hoc cum potestate tenebrarum certamine e caelo adesto; et sicut olim Puerum Jesum e summo eripuisti vitae discrimine, ita nunc ecclesiam sanctam Dei ab hostibus insidiis atque ab omni adversitate defende: nosque singulos perpetua tege patrocinio, ut ad tui exemplar et ope tua suffulti, sancte vivere, pie emori, sempiternamque in caelis beatitudinem assequi possimus. R. Amen.

Rosary for the Dead:

When the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary is said for the faithful departed, the following changes are made:
1.The Sorrowful Mysteries are used no matter what the day.
2. The Gloria Patri and the Fatima Prayer are replaced by the following versicle and response:

V. Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine.

R. Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

3. The Salve Regina and its versicles and collect are not said but are replaced with the De Profundis (Psalm 129) and the following versicles.

De profundis clamavi ad Te Domine. Domine exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaberis Domine, Domine quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est et propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus. Speravit anima mea in Domino.
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israel in Domino.
Quia apud Domino misericordia et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redemit Israel ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.
V. Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine.
R. Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
V. Fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace.

R. Amen.

VATICAN CITY, 29 JUL 2011 (VIS) – Pope Benedict’s general prayer intention for August is: “That World Youth Day in Madrid may encourage young people throughout the world to have their lives rooted and built up in Christ”.

His mission intention is: “That Western Christians may be open to the action of the Holy Spirit and rediscover the freshness and enthusiasm of their faith”.

Fr. Fr. Z, who does not beat around the bush.

Have you been jealous of the good fortune of another? I offer this especially to clerics who are suffering from the dread fault of proud ambition.

Have you resented your state because you think you should have had a different lot in life?

Have you chaffed under what God’s will is for you in your vocation?

Have you neglected prayer in your daily grind?

Have you lacked generosity or been small of soul?

Have you thanked God for the graces that come with the challenges?

I saw this at Acts of the Apostasy and it made me chuckle.

The writer muses about what penance in purgatory Catholic bloggers might have to endure.

* LarryD – transcribe every issue of the National Catholic Reporter onto strips of bark using a piece of charcoal.
* Fr Z – drink instant coffee while blogging on a 386…with a dial-up connection.
* Mark Shea – chained at the ankle with Michael Voris (that could work both ways, I suppose).
* The writers at The American Catholic – recite every Vox Nova post in Shakespearean prose.
* Creative Minority Report – Pat and Matt are brothers. They live in New York and Philly, respectively. They co-author a blog. That’s probably penance enough in this life for each.
* WordPress users – forced to use the Blogger format.
* Blogger format users – forced to use…the Blogger format.

Lima, Peru, Jul 28, 2011 / 01:56 pm (CNA).n

Spanish Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera recently recommended that Catholics receive Communion on the tongue, while kneeling.

“It is to simply know that we are before God himself and that He came to us and that we are undeserving,” the prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments said in an interview with CNA during his visit to Lima, Peru.

The cardinal’s remarks came in response to a question on whether Catholics should receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue. [OOH-RAH!]

He recommended that Catholics “receive Communion on the tongue and while kneeling.” [Do I hear an “Amen!”?]

Receiving Communion in this way, the cardinal continued, “is the sign of adoration that needs to be recovered. I think the entire Church needs to receive Communion while kneeling.” [Get that? “entire Church”. And he means the Latin Church, of course.]

“In fact,” he added, “if one receives while standing, a genuflection or profound bow should be made, and this is not happening.” [Wounded human nature being what it is.]

“If we trivialize Communion, we trivialize everything, and we cannot lose a moment as important as that of receiving Communion, of recognizing the real presence of Christ there, of the God who is the love above all loves, as we sing in a hymn in Spanish.”

In response to a question about the liturgical abuses that often occur, Cardinal Canizares said they must be “corrected, especially through proper formation: formation for seminarians, for priests, for catechists, for all the Christian faithful.”

Such a formation should ensure that liturgical celebrations take place “in accord with the demands and dignity of the celebration, in accord with the norms of the Church, which is the only way we can authentically celebrate the Eucharist,” he added.

“Bishops have a unique responsibility” in the task of liturgical formation and the correction of abuses, the cardinal said, “and we must not fail to fulfill it, because everything we do to ensure that the Eucharist is celebrated properly will ensure proper participation in the Eucharist.

Dear Colleagues:

We are delighted to welcome Miss Laura Wolk to the Advisory
Council. She is particularly interested in working in Advertising.
Kudos to Laura!

There is a possibility that September’s Advisory Council Meeting
may be held at Our Lady of Consolation in Tacony. Should that ever be,
the entire Council does not have to attend. I perceive that a group of
six volunteers would be sufficient. Then the Council can take turns
volunteering.
