Great website from Michael Rose, promoting the best in Church architecture: Dellachiesa.com. Happily, by "best" I mean that Mr. Rose is against modern messes made of concrete or cement, as well as what I like to call the Wal-Mart Warehouse Style, the Sterile Barn Style, and the It-Could-Double-As-A-Realty-Office Style. My home parish (I mean, when I'm home from school) is done in the Warehouse Style. It is wonderfully ... Soul-sucking.
I commented earlier on sacred architecture here. If nothing else, check out Dellachiesa for the gorgeous photo galleries of the world's most beautiful churches. Especially Old St. Mary's in Cincinnati. (Just think! An Ohio church in the company of the Cathedral of Milan, and Notre Dame!) Sigh.
Incidentally, "Notre Dame" means "Our Lady." I was surprised that some people apparrently do not realize this. I guess if you haven't been put through seven years of the wringing machine that is the French language ... But isn't it common knowledge, anyway? Oh well. That means, Cathedral de Notre Dame is "the Cathedral of Our Lady" and University of Notre Dame means "University of Our Lady." UND is run by the Congregation of the Holy Cross, not the Marians, though. Who'da thunk it.
Also, the Marian House of Studies is in Steubenville, Ohio! My diocese (when I'm at school!) Actually, I think in terms of mileage I'm closer to the city of Steubenville when I'm at home than when I'm in Athens. One of those odd things :) It's a big diocese.
The Holy Name of Jesus
Litany of the Holy Name
Novena to the Holy Name
"Jesus, Name full of glory, grace, love and strength! You are the refuge of those who repent, our banner of warfare in this life, the medicine of souls, the comfort of those who mourn, the delight of those who believe, the light of those who preach the true faith, the wages of those who toil, the healing of the sick. To You our devotion aspires; by You our prayers are received; we delight in contemplating You. O Name of Jesus, You are the glory of all the saints for eternity. Amen.” - St. Bernardine of Siena
Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of the Lord is to be praised!
-Psalm 113.1-3
ACT OF CONSECRATION
To You, Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself today through Your Most Holy Name. I consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys. I consecrate to You my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being without reserve. In particular I consecrate to You my heart so that it may love only You and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Your divine love. Jesus, I place my trust in Your most Holy and Sacred Name. I beg for the remission of all my sins through Your infinite mercy. I place within Your hands all my cares and anxieties. Do with me what You will, my Jesus. Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your Divine Heart forever. I promise to love You and honor You and to spread, as much as I can, devotion to Your most Holy Name, until I draw my dying breath. Amen.
