Miraculous Prayer to Our Lady of Manaoag for Urgent Needs

Mother & Refuge04 mins

According to recorded history, the Augustinians came to Pangasinan in 1575 and established the missions of Lingayen, Bagnotan (which is now called Dagupan), and Santa Monica (now called Manaoag) as part of their evangelization efforts.   Because the Pangasinenses prefer to believe in paganism, the missionaries decided to leave. But this was just the start of the evangelization of the missionaries in the province. In fact, there were also undocumented missionaries serving in Pangasinan.   In addition, the Franciscans made an effort to spread the gospel across the region. However, their efforts were in vain, since they were unable to convert the residents of Pangasinan. The Dominican Missionaries built a mission at Binalatongan (now called San Carlos) in 1587, under the patronage of its founder, Saint Dominic De Guzman.   The town of Mangaldan, which is nine (9) kilometers from Santa Monica, was a “visita” for the Augustinian monastery of Lingayen. It is also the place where the Dominicans began their missionary work.   Given that Lingayen was 30 kilometers from the Augustinian convent of Santa Monica, the Augustinians were happy to give up its care to Bishop Diego de Soria, OP, who gave it to Fr. Juan de San Jacinto, OP, Vicar of Mangaldan. As a result, Fr. de San Jacinto had the idea of creating a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary when he accepted this post in 1605.   The apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary Manaoag got its name from a story about an appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary to a farmer on a treetop, according to local lore.   The story goes that the Virgin of the Most Holy Rosary and her most pious Son, the Child Jesus, arrived in the middle of a cloud. She stated her desire for a shrine to be built in her honor in the same location so that her followers might travel there in the future and ask for her maternal protection.   This apparition of the Virgin of the Rosary became famous in other parts of the globe. People from all over the world would go to the spot where the apparition occurred to see it for themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DhBGanrA08

Orthodox Church of Ukraine Decides to Celebrate Christmas on December 25 as per Gregorian Calendar

Mother & Refuge04 mins

The autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) has charted history by deciding to celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25 as per the Gregorian Calendar like the Roman Catholics. This decision was taken by the Council of Bishops on May 24 in an apparent act of defiance towards the Russian Orthodox Church. The Council almost unanimously voted to follow the Gregorian calendar for the Solemnity of the Birth of our Lord instead of celebrating it on January 7 like many other Orthodox communities while Easter and other major feasts like the Feast of the Trinity will be celebrated as per the old Julian calendar. The new changes will come into effect as of September 1 which marks the onset of the new ecclesiastical year. Orthodox believers in the war-torn nation belong to the autocephalous OCU and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, which is loyal to the Russian Church. As per the Gregorian calendar, the Orthodox feast of St Nicholas the wonderworker will be observed on December 6 and OCU believers will join their Catholic brethren in celebrating the feast of Epiphany on January 6. The council of bishops of the OCU said in a decree that the decision to switch calendars regarding the celebration of Christmas was made because the Julian calendar is of secular origin and has no spiritual importance. It is also a powerful reminder of the association with the Russian Orthodox Church. “In the modern realities of the existence of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in Ukrainian society, especially in connection with the aggressive Russian war against Ukraine, the demand for a change in the calendar increased significantly,” they said. However, the prelates said that for centuries the Julian calendar was the symbol of resistance to the Latinization efforts and after the communist takeover, it was a sign of resistance. But with the socio-cultural change in Ukraine, it is time for a revamp, they said. The bishop said that these days, people consider the Julian calendar as being a vestige of the Russian connection rather than a symbol of Ukrainian nationality and culture. Therefore, it was a timely decision to affirm Ukraine’s spiritual identity by switching to the Gregorian calendar while preserving the traditional Easter. Read more…

Unveiling the Divine Encounter: America’s Exclusive Recognized Marian Apparition

Mother & Refuge04 mins

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDbZ5t7p3UE By Aleteia On October 8, 1871, in or around a place called Peshtigo, Wisconsin, several men were setting small fires in the woods. This was a common practice in clearing land for expanding railroads or for expanding farm land. Except, on this particular day, something unexpected happened. A cold front moved into the area creating winds that were close to hurricane force. The winds fanned the flames and the resulting Peshtigo Firestorm still can claim the ignominious title as the “deadliest wildfire” in American history. To this day, no wildfire in the U.S. has ever caused more deaths. It is estimated close to 2,500 people perished in the raging 2,000-degree inferno. But there is an incredible side-bar to this story. Miraculously, there was a small group of people who were not harmed at all and they were right in the middle of the blaze. They were with Adele Brise. Adele Brise was 24 years old when she arrived in Wisconsin with her parents from Belgium in 1855. A devout Catholic, Adele had a great devotion to the Blessed Mother and prayed daily. On Sunday, October 2, 1859, Adele was walking home through the woods when she saw a woman clothed in white standing between a hemlock and a maple tree. The woman was encased in a bright light and had a yellow sash around her waist.  A crown of stars was above her long, blond hair. Adele, filled with fear, began praying and the vision disappeared. She told her mom and dad about it and they told her that maybe it was a soul in need of prayers. The following Sunday, Adele was on her way to Mass with her sister and another woman when she saw the apparition a second time. But her sister and friend, who were walking a bit ahead of her, did not see anything. As Adele returned from Mass, the Lady appeared to her for the third time. Adele, who had confided in her parish priest about the mysterious lady, did as he had told her. She asked the Lady the question, “In the Name of God, who are you and what do you wish of me?” The Lady answered, “I am the Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners and I wish you to do the same. You received Holy Communion this morning and that is well. But you must do more. Make a general confession and offer Communion for the conversion of sinners… Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation.” Read more…

Prayer to Bind & Blind Demons

Mother & Refuge01 mins

Most gracious Virgin Mary, thou who wouldst crush the head of the serpent, protect us from the vengeance of the evil one. We offer our prayers, supplications, sufferings and good works to you so that you may purify them, sanctify them and present them to thy Son as a perfect offering. May this offering be given so that the demons that influence us (could influence us or name the person) do not know the source of the expulsion and blindness. Blind them so they know not our good works. Blind them so that they know not on whom to take vengeance. Blind them so that they may receive the just sentence for their works. Cover us with the Precious Blood of thy Son so that we may enjoy the protection which flows from His Passion and Death. We ask this through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. Source
