Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Order of Servites, also known as the Servants of Mary, traces its origins to 13th-century Florence, Italy, where a group of seven men came together in a shared commitment to serve the Blessed Virgin Mary. This group, known as the Seven Holy Founders, renounced their worldly possessions and dedicated themselves to a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Inspired by their deep devotion to Mary and their desire to emulate her virtues of humility, compassion, and service, the Seven Founders formed a religious community focused on prayer, penance, and works of mercy. They sought to live out their vocation as Servants of Mary by ministering to the spiritual and material needs of those around them, especially the poor, the sick, and the marginalized. the novena prayer to the seven founders of the Servite Order offers believers a powerful means of seeking spiritual guidance, inspiration, and intercession. Through the example of these holy men, we are reminded of the importance of faith, humility, and dedication to God's will in our lives. As we reflect on their virtues and ask for their intercession, may we be strengthened in our own journey of faith and inspired to live lives of greater holiness and service

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core of the spirituality of the Servites is their devotion to Mary. They revere her as the Mother of God and the Queen of Heaven, putting their trust in her maternal care and pleading for her intercession. Through a life of prayer, reflection, and service, they seek to emulate her qualities and become closer to her Son, Jesus Christ. The Servites strive to be obedient servants of Mary and representatives of God's kindness and love, bringing hope, healing, and reconciliation to a world in need via their dedication to prayer, communal living, and apostolic outreach. Saying a novena prayer is ultimately a personal choice that is influenced by one's own spiritual needs and preferences. A novena can be a useful tool for fostering our spiritual lives and getting closer to the source of all grace and love, whether we're looking for direction, assistance, or just a deeper connection with God. The seven founders' lives are encouraging instances of faith, humility, and devotion to God. We are able to obtain courage and inspiration for our own spiritual journey by considering their merits and requesting their intercession

Download or read book My Nameday written by Helen McLoughlin and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MY NAMEDAY—COME FOR DESSERT, which was first published in 1962, is an invitation to parents to celebrate the family’s namedays. It contains the names, feasts, and symbols of our Blessed Mother and the saints, prayers of the liturgy, and appropriate desserts for the celebration of the sanctoral cycle of the Church year in the home. A nameday commemorates the feast of the saint whose name we received at baptism. To the Church’s mind, the day of the saint’s death is his real feastday, and that is the day usually assigned as his feast—his birthday into heaven. In some countries and in most religious orders it is customary to observe namedays instead of birthdays. On a child’s nameday, “My Nameday—Come for Dessert” is a popular way to entertain. It is economical, festive and meaningful, and permits the family to splurge on a fabulous dessert without inflicting lasting wounds on the budget. It can be a “little evening”—a time for a party and a prayer for the child in the company of his friends, a time for pleasant conversation for the grown-ups who accompany them.
