Far into the night, at the coldest time of the year, in a chilly grotto, more suitable for a flock of beasts than for humans, the promised Messiah – Jesus – the savior of mankind, comes into the world in the fullness of time.

There are none who clamor around him: only an ox and an ass lending their warmth to the newborn infant; with a humble woman, and a poor and tired man, in adoration beside him.

Nothing can be heard except the sobs and whimpers of the infant God. And by means of his crying and weeping he offers to the Divine justice the first ransom for our redemption.

He had been expected for forty centuries; with longing sighs the ancient Fathers had implored his arrival. The sacred scriptures clearly prophesy the time and the place of his birth, and yet the world is silent and no one seems aware of the great event. Only some shepherds, who had been busy watching over their sheep in the meadows, come to visit him. Heavenly visitors had alerted them to the wondrous event, inviting them to approach his cave.

So plentiful, O Christians, are the lessons that shine forth from the grotto of Bethlehem! Oh how our hearts should be on fire with love for the one who with such tenderness was made flesh for our sakes! Oh how we should burn with desire to lead the whole world to this lowly cave, refuge of the King of kings, greater than any worldly palace, because it is the throne and dwelling place of God! Let us ask this Divine child to clothe us with humility, because only by means of this virtue can we taste the fullness of this mystery of Divine tenderness.

Glittering were the palaces of the proud Hebrews. Yet, the light of the world did not appear in one of them. Ostentatious with worldly grandeur, swimming in gold and in delights, were the great ones of the Hebrew nation; filled with vain knowledge and pride were the priests of the sanctuary. In opposition to the true meaning of Divine revelation, they awaited an officious savoir, who would come into the world with human renown and power.

But God, always ready to confound the wisdom of the world, shatters their plans. Contrary to the expectations of those lacking in Divine wisdom, he appears among us in the greatest abjection, renouncing even birth in St. Joseph’s humble home, denying himself a modest abode among relatives and friends in a city of Palestine. Refused lodging among men, he seeks refuge and comfort among mere animals, choosing their habitation as the place of his birth, allowing their breath to give warmth to his tender body. He permits simple and rustic shepherds to be the first to pay their respects to him, after he himself informed them, by means of his angels, of the wonderful mystery.

Oh wisdom and power of God, we are constrained to exclaim – enraptured along with your Apostle – how incomprehensible are your judgments and unsearchable your ways! Poverty, humility, abjection, contempt, all surround the Word made flesh. But we, out of the darkness that envelops the incarnate Word, understand one thing, hear one voice, perceive one sublime truth: you have done everything out of love, you invite us to nothing else but love, speak of nothing except love, give us naught except proofs of love.

The heavenly babe suffers and cries in the crib so that for us suffering would be sweet, meritorious and accepted. He deprives himself of everything, in order that we may learn from him the renunciation of worldly goods and comforts. He is satisfied with humble and poor adorers, to encourage us to love poverty, and to prefer the company of the little and simple rather than the great ones of the world.

This celestial child, all meekness and sweetness, wishes to impress in our hearts by his example these sublime virtues, so that from a world that is torn and devastated an era of peace and love may spring forth. Even from the moment of his birth he reveals to us our mission, which is to scorn that which the world loves and seeks.

Oh let us prostrate ourselves before the manger, and along with the great St. Jerome, who was enflamed with the love of the infant Jesus, let us offer him all our hearts without reserve. Let us promise to follow the precepts which come to us from the grotto of Bethlehem, which teach us that everything here below is vanity of vanities, nothing but vanity.

Attention: If you have devotion to the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Lourdes, the Miraculous Medal, the Holy Souls in Purgatory or the Immaculate Conception, then you owe it to yourself to fully discover . . .

The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary:
a Sacramental Powerful with God!

 

NOTICE: We are now sold out of all of the Rosaries!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

 Here is an unsolicited testimonial:

I received it today and it is really beautiful!  It’s very stunning . . . I guess even prettier than I had expected!  It did really take my breath away . . . so different than the Red Jeweled Rosary that I have.  I was trying to explain the look to my friend, but told her once I received it, I had to show her in person because words didn’t do it justice.  So tell [Emily] great job.  If I had the money, I would buy one for my sister too, but she may need to purchase for herself this Christmas!! HaHa

Theresa F.

Dear Child of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Rosary Prayer Warrior,

Have you ever discovered something shocking?

How about when you found out that we are still required to abstain from meat on Fridays? Did you feel cheated when you realized that indulgences are still valid? For our converts, I can only imagine how you felt when you realized that God established the Catholic Church as the one true Church.

Well, if you haven’t learned about The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary, then you can add another “shocker” to the list.

 

So, What is The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary?

 

It is what I am coming to realize to be a truly inspired sacramental, a symbol of grace. It all started while reading about St. Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes. Let me tell you why.

Maybe you recall that St. Bernadette actually described the Rosary that Our Lady used while praying with St. Bernadette.

St. Bernadette described the Rosary as “a Rosary of white beads with a chain of gold shining like the two roses on Her feet.” I will never forget the first time I read that description. It created a strong desire to pray with that Rosary, a Rosary after our Mother’s own heart.

Now, here’s the problem . . .

Every time I looked for an Our Lady of Lourdes Rosary, they never seem to be inspired by the actual description of the Rosary or Her messages. They either had Lourdes’ water for the centerpiece or were created in the town of Lourdes. This did not fulfill my desire to have a Rosary designed after Our Lady’s heart. Not to mention, the fact that Rosaries tend to be so fragile and come apart so easily.

Here it is 10 years later, and I believe Our Lady has answered that desire. She has prepared a sacramental which is overflowing with many spiritual graces for those called to pray with The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary.

Hello, my name is John Quinn, and I along with Jeff Gares, founded Courageous Priest.

I am a father of 5 little children! We home school and love it. Through the work of Our Heavenly Mother, Courageous Priest has seen tremendous growth. We have gone from . . .

• 1,000 monthly website page views to over 80,000 page views per month, for a total of over 600,000 page views
  
• 100 monthly visitors to as many as 31,000 monthly visitors, for a total of over 255,000 visitors to the website
• 20 subscribers to over 4,200 signing up to be subscribers (according to some, this would make Courageous Priest one of the largest Catholic blogs based off of the number of subscribers)

We are humbled and grateful for so many people loving it when priests are courageous.

As you can imagine, this apostolate is a labor of love, in which we graciously volunteer our time, talents and money. We have not asked for any donations knowing that there are many other worthy Catholic charities out there. But, like most other Catholic apostolates, we believe offering an occasional Catholic item is a very prudent way to grow this apostolate.

That is why we are excited to introduce to you The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary. BTW, we actually have two different custom-made heirloom Rosaries, the first one is gold and the second one is sterling silver. They both have freshwater pearls with elegant Swarovski crystals substituting for the links.

So, please keep reading in order to discover more about the The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary and why you should support this apostolate and get one yourself or offer one as a Christmas present.

The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary Is Honestly Inspired By
Our Lady of Lourdes, the Immaculate Conception, the Miraculous
Medal and Devotion to the Holy Souls in Purgatory

Why?

Because, it not only resembles the one described by Our Lady, but most importantly, it follows her messages.

Of course you are familiar with the story of Our Lady of Lourdes and how the Blessed Mother revealed to St. Bernadette the healing spring waters, but do you remember the title she gave herself?

 

“I Am the Immaculate Conception!”

 

Without this declaration, St. Bernadette would’ve been a poor little peasant girl, who happened to be graced with visits by the Mother of God. You see, the healing waters of Lourdes are for the sick, but this title is for the entire Church. Our Mother Mary continually proves the importance of her purity with her apparitions in Fatima, the Miraculous Medal and Our Lady Guadalupe.

• At Fatima, our Mother reveals to Lucia, that “God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart.”

• And to St. Catherine Laboure, she dictates a powerful Miraculous Medal prayer, “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”

• And to St. Juan Diego, Our Lady of Guadalupe declares “I am the perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary.”

 

Over time, I came to realize something very important. Without fail, our Mother continually reveals to us Her central theme.

 

What is Our Mother’s Central Theme?

 

Our Mother’s central theme is to have our hearts to be transformed to Hers. Immaculate! Pure! Holy!

Think about it. Some would say her central theme is to pray,pray, pray. Others it’s the conversion / repentance of hearts. Some would mention the daily Rosary. Still others would suggest it’s the act of consecration. What perfect and true statements!

However, without exception everyone of them leads to one thing. The simple answer is that Our Mother wants your heart to be transformed into likeness of Her heart. Holy! Pure! IMMACULATE!

Isn’t that what becoming a Saint is all about?

 

So, how does The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary
Incorporate the Immaculate Conception?

The simple answer takes us back to Our Lady of Lourdes’ message, when she declared Herself the Immaculate Conception. Yet, Our Mother wanted this Rosary to go deeper.

Here I was spending countless hours trying to perfect the appearance of the Our Lady of Lourdes Rosary. I was going in circles. You see, I was mostly worried about the beauty of the Rosary. Of course Our Lady wants the beauty, like a bride adorned for her husband; however, She wants the focus to be purity and holiness.

So, Here is What Our Lady Did . . .

Like a loving Mother, she took me and my pride out of the equation by revealing the next step to my wife.

“Oh, my! John, have you ever seen this?”

She showed me a very ornate picture of a crucifix. This was no ordinary crucifix as it was adorned with spiritual imagery and sacred messages. It’s BEAUTIFUL! This crucifix had a name, the Pardon Crucifix. Which leads to the next question . . .

What is a Pardon Crucifix?

It’s a thorn in Satan’s side, slammed in there by our good Pope St. Pius X. It is unclear why so few Catholics have ever heard about this sacramental. But, what is clear is that Satan absolutely hates it.

Why?

Because the Pardon Crucifix ranks up there with the the Miraculous Medal and the St. Benedict Medal. You see Pope St. Pius X used the keys to heaven to attach heavenly rich indulgences to it. And Satan hates powerful sacramentals. What does he do when he hates a devotion or sacramental which is so immersed with Divine graces?

He simply hides them. And the Pardon Crucifix has been hidden sometime after it was promulgated in 1905. Other examples 0f Satan’s dirty work include him literally hiding the Shroud of Turin (Jesus’ burial cloth), the true Cross and St. Philomena. How about how he perverts devotion to the Rosary, Miraculous Medal and Our Mother of Sorrows?

Yes, the Pardon Crucifix is beautiful; however, it is the words describing the indulgences / Divine graces that blow you away.

 

Here Are the Indulgences Pope St. Pius X Attached to the Pardon Crucifix

• Whoever carries on his person the Pardon Crucifix, may thereby gain an indulgence.

• For devoutly kissing the Crucifix, an indulgence is gained.

• Whoever says one of the following invocations before this crucifix may gain each time an indulgence: “Our Father who art in heaven, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” or “I beg the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray to the Lord our God for me.”

• Whoever, habitually devout to this Crucifix, will fulfill the necessary conditions of Confession and Holy Communion, may gain a Plenary Indulgence on the following feasts: On the feasts of the Five Wounds of our Lord, the Invention of the Holy Cross, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Immaculate Conception and the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

• Whoever at the moment of death, fortified with the Sacraments of the Church, or contrite of heart, in the supposition of being unable to receive them, will kiss this Crucifix and ask pardon of God for his sins, and pardon his neighbor, will gain a Plenary Indulgence.

 

Did you notice that by mere devotion to The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary you will are availing yourself to a FULL plenary indulgence during the feast of the Immaculate Conception. This isn’t because of anything I have done, but because St. Pope Pius X exercised his Papal authority and attached so many indulgences to the Pardon Crucifix.

 

You Can Stop Their Pain!

His Holiness Pope St. Pius X has gone another step and declared that the indulgences attached to the Pardon Crucifix are applicable to the souls in purgatory. This is where those who are serious about alleviating the pains of the poor souls in Purgatory comes into play.

Outside of the Sacred Mass there is nothing more efficacious to the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory than the reciting the Holy Rosary. Now, add to that the indulgences attached to the Pardon Crucifix! This little Rosary is going to be a power house for the Holy Souls, because God is good and faithful to His promises. Do you have a loved one in the fires of purgatory? Are you using all the means available to alleviate their pain and suffering. Well, here is your chance to be a greater prayer warrior for those poor souls.

As you can tell, the Pardon Crucifix is a powerhouse. You can discover more about this “hidden” sacramental here.

 

True and Little Known Fact About Rosaries.

Not all sacramentals, like a Rosary, are created equally. You see, how it is made, the crucifix used, the center piece and many other little details or symbolisms make a huge difference.

Think about it. Which is better; a custom-made rosary by a loving mother praying for the intentions of the person receiving it, or a rosary mass-produced in China for a profit? Unfortunately, most Rosaries are mass-produced by machines purely for the sake of generating a profit.

Again, which is better, a cross or a crucifix? That one is simple, but remember not all crucifixes, like the Pardon Crucifix, have special indulgences attached to them.

 

The centerpiece makes a big difference too. How about comparing the center where it is the outline of the Virgin Mary’s head compared to the Miraculous Medal? The Blessed Mother gave the design of the Miraculous Medal to Saint Catherine Labouré. Can anybody do better than that?

Futhermore, what Catholic Medal has been its own feast day? Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is celebrated November 26th on the traditional calendar. How cool is that? The Miraculous Medal is the only Catholic medal where Our Mother says “all who wear this medal will receive great graces.” She goes on to prove her claim with countless miraculous healings of the heart, mind and body.

Do you know the original name of the Miraculous Medal? It was called the Immaculate Conception medal. That was a natural conclusion for a name as Our Mother declares to have the prayer “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee” on the medal.

Today, we have two options for you. The first Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary is gold (actually it is a thick layer of gold over sterling silver) and the second is pure sterling silver. Because each Rosary has the same components, we will describe each part, detailing the rich symbolism of grace behind each one.

 

Each Custom-made Heirloom Quality Rosary Has Been Carefully Planned to Reach These Highest Standards . . .

 

• Your very own prayerfully custom-made Sterling Silver Pearl Rosary with Swarovski Crystals is lovingly created by our very own Emily Gares, the wife of co-founder Jeff. Emily is sought out for her ability to create the finest Rosaries around. This is evident by the glowing smile she gave when she said “Of course John I will make them. I love making rosaries for other people.” She reminds me of Blessed Mother Theresa, “It is not what we do, but the love we put into what we do.”

 

• A perfectly pure gold over sterling silver or sterling silver Pardon Crucifix with all of the attached indulgences just waiting to alleviate the pain of those suffering souls in purgatory.

 

• The greatest Catholic medal of all time. Hands down, it is the Miraculous Medal. With all of the impurities burned away, leaving you an option between a perfectly pristine gold over sterling silver medal or a sterling silver center piece. It is a proven fact, that a Miraculous Medal used with a loving faith produces the “great graces” promised by Our Lady. The Miraculous Medal exemplifies the summit of St. Bernadette’s revelations when St. Bernadette reveals that “The Lady was standing above the rose bush, in a position very similar to that shown on the Miraculous Medal. . . She said to me in a voice vibrating with emotion ‘I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION’.” This makes perfect sense, as the Miraculous Medal proclaims this very fact, “Mary Conceived Without Sin . . .”

 

• Heirloom-quality authentic white fresh water cultured pearls. These pearls, made of one finest grades, represent the word of God and the the kingdom of heaven. Jesus warned his disciples not to cast pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6). St. John tells us in Revalation that “the twelve gates were twelve pearls; that is each gate was a single pearl.” The white pearls also fit perfectly as the white beads described by St. Bernadette.

 

• Why white? White symbolizes purity, virginity, innocence and virtue. It also symbolizes holiness and is the Christian color for all high Holy Days of the Church Year, especially the seasons of Christmas and Easter.

 

• Perfectly fire-purified sterling silver. Listen to what scripture has to say about silver as it relates to our souls. Proverbs 25:4 “Take away the rust from silver, and there shall come forth a most pure vessel.” Proverbs 17:3 “As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord tries the hearts.” Silver also symbolizes the emblem of moral innocence and of holiness.

 

• A beautiful hard bound Rosary case, like the ones used for diamond necklaces, with the easy flip-top lid to keep the Gold or Sterling Silver Pearl Rosary pure from impurities. It is a fitting case for something so precious.

 

• Swarovski Crystals – Crystals have rich biblical symbolism attached to them. The first symbol is for purity. Revelation 22:1 “And he shewed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.” The second biblical symbolism reveals that crystals are defined as a precious stone. The scriptural purpose of a precious stone is to adorn something precious like the holy city Jerusalem. Revelation 22:11 “Having the glory of God, and the light thereof was like to a precious stone, as to the jasper stone, even as crystal.”

Just so you know, the Swarovski Crystal is the creme de la creme of crystals. Some Swarovski Crystal Rosaries sell for over $700. WOW! Without knowing the significance, Emily ordered an aurora borealis Swarovski Crystal.

Here is why this is so significant. Auroral meaning light or luminous brings into play Our Lady of Fatima and the Miraculous Medal. With Our Lady of Fatima, she used the Aurora Borealis in the northern skies as a warning for the great World War. The Miraculous Medal has dual significance. St. Catherine described Our Lady as “clothed in a robe the color of auroral light.” She further reveals. “Suddenly, her fingers were filled with rings and the most beautiful precious stones; the rays gleaming forth and reflected on all sides, enveloped her in such dazzling light.” The precious stones “were symbols of the graces which would be bestowed on all who asked for them.” It is a safe bet that you can imagine the precious stones being crystal.

As much as we hate to do this, we must tell you that the Our Lady of Lourdes Pardon Rosary is . . .

 

We Started with 39 and Now Only Have 4 Left
Only Have Less Than 8 1 Days To Buy

Why would we limit such a powerful devotional to 39, and only offering it only for 8 days? Honestly, it is because we are not a business.

Emily, our Rosary expert, is a full time mother with three little ones to take care. On top of that she must work part time to make ends meet. I was happy she agreed to create any and was ecstatic when she committed to 39. (We were hoping for 40 rosaries, a biblical number, but only had enough supplies for 39.)

Now, the reason why we limited it to 8 days is this is the only way we can guarantee that you’ll get it by Christmas and more importantly is the time commitment for our families.

Either way, you will want to act quickly, because with the thousands of visitors we get, I can’t imagine this offer lasting long. Last year we offered a similar rosary called the Our Lady of Lourdes’ Pardon Rosary selling for the same price and we sold out in 18 hours. We honestly had people with their credit card in hand that we had to refuse because we ran out.

Please don’t let this happen to you. Unfortunately, Roseann was not the only person who waited too long.

“Roseann Could you please tell me where I can find “OUR LADY OF LOURDES’ PARDON ROSARY ” It looks like you sold out.”

Thank you!

What Good Is A Rosary That Keeps Falling Apart?

Do you know why your Rosary keeps falling apart?

Emily, our Rosary expert, taught me a thing or two about Rosary making. A Rosary has 121 vulnerable breaking points. Every single place that there is a link can break. It is because of the thickness of the links and the quality of the chains used. Or in our case how strong and stubborn your toddler is.

That is one of the reasons why we removed the links and used wire instead. With wire, the only place that a Rosary can come apart is where the wires join together. For this reason, Emily used the best crimping tools and supplies available. This wire is very strong. Honestly, they are so sturdy that we had to pay extra money to re-drill the pearls as to accommodate for the extra durability.

And is there anything more disheartening as spending your time repairing broken links of something that you hold so dear? We want to take that frustration away.

 

We are so confident that you will absolutely love your The Immaculate Conception Pardon Rosary that we are giving you a . . .

“You’re Going to Love It” Guarantee . . .

If you do choose to send it back, you get to keep the bonuses, after all, we want to help spread devotion to the Holy Souls, Our Lady of Lourdes, Miraculous Medal and the Immaculate Conception, not suppress it. It has been suppressed long enough!

The Rituals of the Roman Catholic Church Call for Specific Words, Actions, and Gestures On The Part of the Priests and the Faithful.

Taken from Patheos.com

By Deacon Greg Kandra

Hot on the heels of the new Roman Missal translation, the Bishop of Covington, Roger J. Foys, has issued a decree clarifying the proper gestures and postures for Mass, according to rubrics laid out in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.

As he notes:

The rituals of the Roman Church, of which we are a part, call for specific words to be used as well as particular actions and gestures, both on the part of the priest and the faithful who join their hearts with his in their worship of God. We are encouraged as the Mystical Body of Christ to continual, ongoing conversion in the faith and to strengthen that which is good and holy in our individual lives as well as our common life as Catholics and to root out that which is evil.

Among the points his decree makes:

Special note should also be made concerning the gesture for the Our Father. Only the priest is given the instruction to “extend” his hands. Neither the deacon nor the lay faithful are instructed to do this. No gesture is prescribed for the lay faithful in the Roman Missal; nor the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, therefore the extending or holding of hands by the faithful should not be performed.

And he notes:

The text of the Roman Missal be used exactly as it is written. As stated in the citation from the Second Vatican Council none of us has the authority to change the text for any reason.

a. This includes altering or changing any of the language contained in the liturgical books of the Church, not only the Roman Missal, but the Lectionary and other ritual books – the responses and prayers of the priest, and also those of the people.

b. Please note that only those texts approved for use in the Dioceses of the United States may be used.

c. Priests and deacons are restricted in their use of the Penitential Act – Form C, to those invocations found in the Order of Mass of the Roman Missal and those in Appendix VI.

Read all of Bishop Roger Foy’s Decree here.

Would you share with us your thoughts on holding hands during the Our Father?
