Christ In Gethsemane
Jesus, likely from he, יֵשׁוּעַ, translit=Yēšūaʿ, label=Hebrew/Aramaic ( AD 30 or 33), also referred to as Jesus Christ or Jesus of Nazareth (among other names and titles), was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader; he is the central figure of Christianity, the world's largest religion. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah (the Christ) prophesied in the Hebrew Bible. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically. Research into the historical Jesus has yielded some uncertainty on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the Jesus portrayed in the New Testament reflects the historical Jesus, as the only detailed records of Jesus' life are contained in the Gospels. Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was circumcised, was baptized by John the Baptist, began his own ministry and was often referred to as "rabbi". Jesus debated with fellow Jews on ho ...

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Rosary (; la, , in the sense of "crown of roses" or "garland of roses"), also known as the Dominican Rosary, or simply the Rosary, refers to a set of prayers used primarily in the Catholic Church, and to the physical string of knots or beads used to count the component prayers. When referring to the prayer, the word is usually capitalized ("the Rosary", as is customary for other names of prayers, such as "the Lord's Prayer", and "the Hail Mary"); when referring to the prayer beads as an object, it is written with a lower-case initial letter (e.g. "a rosary bead"). The prayers that compose the Rosary are arranged in sets of ten Hail Marys, called "decades". Each decade is preceded by one Lord's Prayer ("Our Father"), and traditionally followed by one Glory Be. Some Catholics also recite the " O my Jesus" prayer after the Glory Be; it is the most well-known of the seven Fátima prayers that appeared in the early 20th century. Rosary prayer beads are an aid for saying ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History The inspiration for the Holy Hour is .Peter Stravinskas, 1998, ''Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Encyclopedia'', OSV Press page 498 In the Gospel of Matthew, during the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion, Jesus spoke to his disciples, saying "My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me." (Matthew 26:38) Returning to the disciples after prayer, he found them asleep and in Matthew 26:40 he asked Peter:"So, could you men not keep watch with me for an hour?". He did not ask for an hour of activity, but for an hour of companionship. In 1673 Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque stated that she had a vision of Jesus in which she was instructed to spend ...

Miserentissimus Redemptor
''Miserentissimus Redemptor'' is the title of an encyclical by Pope Pius XI, issued on May 8, 1928 on reparation to the Sacred Heart. This encyclical deals with the concepts of Acts of Reparation and atonement. Referencing Pope Leo XIII's encyclical, ''Annum sacrum'', Pius stated, "For as in olden time when mankind came forth from Noe's ark, God set His "bow in the clouds" (Genesis ix, 13), shining as the sign of a friendly covenant; so in the most turbulent times of a more recent age, ... then the most benign Jesus showed his own most Sacred Heart to the nations lifted up as a standard of peace and charity portending no doubtful victory in the combat." In this encyclical Pope Pius XI discussed reparation as follows: :"The creature's love should be given in return for the love of the Creator, another thing follows from this at once, namely that to the same uncreated Love, if so be it has been neglected by forgetfulness or violated by offense, some sort of compensation must be ...

Holy See
The Holy See ( lat, Sancta Sedes, ; it, Santa Sede ), also called the See of Rome, Petrine See or Apostolic See, is the jurisdiction of the Pope in his role as the bishop of Rome. It includes the apostolic episcopal see of the Diocese of Rome, which has ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the Catholic Church and the sovereign city-state known as the Vatican City.

Raccolta
The ''Raccolta'' (literally, "collection" in Italian), is a book, published in many editions from 1807 to 1952, that collected the texts of Roman Catholic prayers and briefly described other acts of piety, such as visiting and praying in particular churches, for which specific indulgences were granted by popes. In 1968, it was replaced by a considerably altered edition, the ''Enchiridion Indulgentiarum'', listing fewer specific prayers but including new general grants that apply to a wide range of prayerful actions. The earliest editions were published in Italian, with the prayers themselves given in Latin, Italian, or both languages. Beginning with the 1929 edition, the ''Raccolta'' was published in Latin, with the prayers themselves given in Latin, Italian, or to a lesser degree, French, Spanish, English, and German.

Acts Of Reparation To Jesus Christ
Catholic tradition includes specific prayers and devotions as '' acts of reparation'' for insults and blasphemies against Jesus Christ and the Holy Name of Jesus. These include the sufferings during the Passion of Jesus. Similar prayers as ''Acts of Reparation to the Virgin Mary'' and ''Acts of Reparation to The Holy Trinity'' also exist. These prayers are recited with the intent to ''repair the sins of others'', e.g. when the Name of Jesus Christ is taken in vain, for the repair of the sin of blasphemy or the insults against and sufferings of Jesus in Calvary. Pope John Paul II referred to reparation as the "''unceasing effort to stand beside the endless crosses on which the Son of God continues to be crucified''". Specific Roman Catholic organizations with this purpose exist. For instance, the ''Archconfraternity of Reparation for blasphemy and the neglect of Sunday'' was founded by Msgr. Pierre Louis Parisis in 1847 and the ''Archconfraternity of the Holy Face'' was founded in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
