Light Our Way
Year of Mercy
Why do Catholics light prayer candles?
The Sight of burning votive candles -real or electronic - is
common in most Catholic churches. The candles are usually
placed before statues of saints or at shrines. But how did this
tradition get its start?
According to A Handbook of Catholic Sacramentals, by Ann
Ball (Our Sunday Visitor Books), the practice of lighting
candles in order to obtain some favor probably has its origins in
the custom of burning lights at the tombs of the martyrs in the
catacombs. The lights burned as a sign of solidarity with
Christians still on earth. Because the lights continually burned
as a silent vigil, they became known as vigil lights.
Vigil Lights (from the Latin vigilia, which means "waiting" or
"watching") are traditionally accompanied by prayers of
attention or waiting. Another common type of candle offering is
the votive light. Such an offering is indicative of seeking some
favor from the Lord or the saint before which the votive is
placed.
Lighting a candle is a way of extending one's prayer and
showing solidarity with the person on whose behalf the prayer
is offered.
After the 9/11 tragedy, lit candles figured prominently in a
televised concert affirming the power of goodness over the
darkness of evil. The symbolism was similar to the Catholic
custom of lighting candles as a form of prayer.
Source: "St. Anthony Messenger" September 2003, Page 26
In the lighting of candles we remember and truly live the words
of Our Lord: "I am the Light of the World." In the lighting of
candles we not only pray, but our prayers become smaller
symbols of the One Light of Christ. In burning candles, our
prayers rise up to Heaven day and night; prayers for the saint's
intercession are also common because of their friendship with
God in Heaven. Saints are powerful intercessors. The lighting of
candles has been observed since the time of the early martyrs.

Mary, Mother of Mercy
Mary’s role as Mother of Mercy continues today and is
evidenced in many Marian Apparitions, some as recent as 100
years ago. In the 1500’s Our Lady of Guadalupe came with
mercy for the Aztecs. The Aztec priests kept their people in
submission, bordering on terror, by offering human sacrifices
to their gods. To give an example of the scale of human
sacrifices being made, upon the consecration of the temple at
Tenochtitlan, 80,000 human sacrifices were made in just four
days. Mary appeared to Juan Diego saying, “I greatly desire
that a church be built in my honor, in which I will show my
love, compassion, and protection. I am your Mother full of
mercy and love for you and all those who love me, trust in me,
and have recourse to me. I will hear their complaints and I will
comfort their affliction and their sufferings. So that I might
show all my love, go now to the bishop in Mexico City and tell
him that I am sending you to make known to him the great
desire I have to see a church dedicated to me built here." The
church was built and within nine years of the apparitions of
Our Lady of Guadalupe, 9 million Aztecs had converted to
Christianity!
Marian apparitions also show that Mary has mercy on the souls
of sinners and asks for people to pray and do penance for them
to save them from going to hell. When she appeared at
Lourdes in the 1800’s, Mary asked St. Bernadette to join her in
praying for mercy saying, “Penance! Penance! Pray to God for
sinners. Kiss the ground as an act of penance for sinners!”
And when she appeared in Fatima to Blessed Jacinta, Blessed
Francisco and Blessed Lucia in 1917, she asked them to join
her in praying and sacrificing for the conversion of sinners to
receive her Son’s mercy, to pray that they be “saved from the
fires of hell” and that “all souls be brought to heaven,
especially those in most need of [God’s] mercy.” She asked
them to have everyone consecrate themselves to her
Immaculate Heart so that their heart might be like hers, full of
mercy, full of grace, and enter into her own fiat and triumph.
Her mission of mercy continues!
Pope Quote:
"On the day of the final harvest, the judge will be Jesus. ... In
the end we will all be judged by the same measure with which
we have judged: the mercy we have shown to others will also
be shown to us. Let us ask Our Lady, our Mother, to help us
grow in patience, in hope and in mercy with all brothers and
sisters."

Rosary Relay for Priests
The St. Pius X Vocations Ministry invites you to join your prayers to the prayers of
millions throughout the world on Friday June 3, 2016 as we participate in
WorldPriest’s Annual Global Rosary Relay at St. Pius X’s Shrine of Mary
Immaculate Queen of the Universe. The rosary will begin promptly at 6:30 pm.
We will be receiving the rosary “baton” from the Shrine of Our Lady of the Cape
in Quebec, Canada, then passing it on to three shrines: Our Lady Star of the Sea in
NY, Maria Immaculada in Columbia, and Grotto of the Redemption in Iowa. You
can view the complete list of shrines at: worldpriest.com/rosary-relay-3/shrine-list/
The Annual Global Rosary Relay idea is a simple one. Each of the participating
shrines in 50+ countries prays a particular mystery of the Rosary at a particular half
hour on the day in thanksgiving to God for our priests and to implore the protection
and loving care of Our Lady, Mother of all priests, for all her priestly sons. With
the coming of midnight on June 3rd, the entire world, by then, will have been
encircled in prayer for our priests on this—The Annual Rosary Relay Day.
This is an opportunity for us to raise our hearts to God for all priests in the
exercise of their ministry; that they will be blessed, through our prayers, with
God's grace for their priesthood; that in this worldwide communion of prayer
for them, they may experience our gratitude and support; and finally that
they will persevere in unity with Christ and his Church and shepherd the
Lord's flock to the safe pastures of his Kingdom.
Please come and join us in prayer for 30 minutes as we pray for our own
Fr. George, all priests in our Diocese and throughout the world, newly ordained seminarians, and all discerning a vocation to the
priesthood.

ofrecido libremente a Dios, para obtener el perdón de nuestros
pecados. No es que Cristo buscara la muerte por amor a la
muerte; Cristo, como ser humano que era, temía la muerte, pero
aceptó con amor la muerte y ofreció su vida al Padre, porque esa
era la condición necesaria para quitar el pecado del mundo.
Cristo, cordero inmolado, aceptó una muerte humanamente cruel
e injusta, entregándose por nosotros, para salvarnos a nosotros.
La muerte de Cristo fue una muerte redentora, una muerte por
amor a sus hermanos los hombres. Por eso, cada ver que nosotros
anunciamos la buena noticia de Cristo, su evangelio, debemos ser
conscientes de que estamos anunciando la vida y muerte de una
persona que sacrificó su vida luchando contra el mal y contra la
injusticia del mundo, precisamente para salvar al mundo. De todo
esto debemos ser muy conscientes cada vez que nos acercamos a
comulgar con el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, un cuerpo
entregado por nosotros…
