Las Doce Promesas del Sagrado Corazón
En mayo de 1673, el Corazón de Jesús le dio a Santa
Margarita María para aquellas almas devotas a su
Corazón las siguientes promesas:
* Les daré todas las gracias necesarias para su estado de
vida.
* Les daré paz a sus familias.
* Las consolaré en todas sus penas.
* Seré su refugio durante la vida y sobre todo a la hora
de la muerte.
* Derramaré abundantes bendiciones en todas sus
empresas.
* Los pecadores encontrarán en mi Corazón un océano
de misericordia.
* Las almas tibias se volverán fervorosas.
* Las almas fervorosas harán rápidos progresos en la
perfección.
* Bendeciré las casas donde mi imagen sea expuesta y
venerada.
* Otorgaré a aquellos que se ocupan de la salvación de
las almas el don de mover los corazones más
endurecidos.
* Grabaré para siempre en mi Corazón los nombres de
aquellos que propaguen esta devoción.
* Yo te prometo, en la excesiva misericordia de mi
Corazón, que su amor omnipotente concederá a todos
aquellos que comulguen nueve Primeros Viernes de mes
seguidos, la gracia de la penitencia final: No morirán en
desgracia mía, ni sin recibir sus Sacramentos, y mi
Corazón divino será su refugio en aquél último
momento.

Saints of the Week/Santos de La Semana
June 1: St. Justin
St. Justin was from Samaria. He lived in the second century.
His father brought him up without any belief in God. When he
was a boy, Justin read poetry, history and science. As he grew
up, he kept on studying. His main purpose for studying was to
find the truth about God.
One day as he was walking along the shore of the sea, Justin
met an old man. They began to talk together. Since Justin
looked troubled, the man asked him what was on his mind.
Justin answered that he was unhappy because he had not
found anything certain about God in all the books he had read.
The old man told him about Jesus, the Savior. He encouraged
Justin to pray so that he would be able to understand the truth
about God.
St. Justin began to pray and to read the Word of God, the
Bible. He grew to love it very much. He was also impressed to
see how brave the Christians were who were dying for their
belief in and love for Jesus. After learning more about the
Christian religion, Justin became a Christian. Then he used his
great knowledge to explain and defend the faith with many
writings.
It was in Rome that St. Justin was arrested for being a
Christian. The judge asked him, "Do you think that by dying
you will enter heaven and be rewarded?" "I don't just think so,"
the saint answered. "I am sure of it!" And he died a martyr
around the year 166."
Reflection: How often do I read the Holy Scripture? Let us ask
the Holy Spirit to help us love the word of God and to keep our
faith strong. From time to time we may say this prayer: "My
God, I believe in you."

June 3: St. Charles Lwanga and
Companions
Christianity was still quite new to Uganda, Africa, when a
Catholic mission was started in 1879. The priests were
members of the Missionaries of Africa. Because of their white
religious habit, they became popularly known as the "White
Fathers." King Mwanga did not know what Christianity was all
about. But he became angry when a Catholic, Joseph Mkasa,
corrected him for the way he was living. The king had
murdered a group of Christians and their Anglican bishop. The
king was also involved in homosexual activity. He was
especially interested in his court pages. King Mwanga's anger
turned into resentment and hatred for Joseph Mkasa and his
religion. A few of the king's ambitious officers fueled his fears
with lies. Joseph Mkasa was beheaded on November 18, 1885.
The persecution had begun. Before it was over, a hundred
people died. Twenty-two of them would be declared saints.
With the death of Joseph
Mkasa, Charles Lwanga
became the chief religion
teacher of the king's
Catholic pages. On May
26, 1886, the king found
out that some of his
pages were Catholic. He
called in Denis
Sebuggwawo. He asked
Denis if he had been
teaching religion to
another page. Denis said
yes. The king grabbed his
spear and flung it
violently through the
young man's throat. Then
the king shouted that no
one was permitted to
leave his headquarters.
War drums beat throughout the night. In a hidden room,
Charles Lwanga secretly baptized four pages. One was St.
Kizito, a cheerful, generous thirteen-year-old. He was the
youngest of the group. St. Charles Lwanga had often protected
Kizito from the king's lust.
Most of the twenty-two Uganda martyrs who have been
proclaimed saints were killed on June 3, 1886. They were
forced to walk thirty-seven miles to the execution site. After a
few days in prison, they were thrown into a huge fire.
Seventeen of the martyrs were royal pages. One of the
martyred boys was St. Mbaga. His own father was the
executioner that day. Another of the martyrs, St. Andrew
Kagwa, died on January 27, 1887. He was among the twentytwo proclaimed saints in 1964 by Pope Paul VI.
Reflection: May we be "steadfast in faith and love" in the face
of difficult situations in our lives. May our witness be able to
bring many people to God.

Excerpts from the
Catechism of the Catholic Church
PART TWO
THE CELEBRATION OF THE CHRISTIAN MYSTERY
SECTION TWO
THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
CHAPTER ONE
THE SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION
ARTICLE 3
THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST
1322 The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who
have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism
and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate
with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of
the Eucharist.
1323 "At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior
instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he
did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the
ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved
Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a
sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal
banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace,
and a pledge of future glory is given to us.'"135
I. THE EUCHARIST - SOURCE AND SUMMIT OF
ECCLESIAL LIFE
1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian
life."136 "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical
ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the
Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is
contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ
himself, our Pasch."137
1325 "The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of
that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of
God by which the Church is kept in being. It is the culmination both
of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship
men offer to Christ and through him to the Father in the Holy
Spirit."138
1326 Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite
ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when
God will be all in all.139
1327 In brief, the Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith:
"Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist
in turn confirms our way of thinking."140
III. THE EUCHARIST IN THE ECONOMY OF SALVATION
The signs of bread and wine
1333 At the heart of the Eucharistic celebration are the bread and
wine that, by the words of Christ and the invocation of the Holy
Spirit, become Christ's Body and Blood. Faithful to the Lord's
command the Church continues to do, in his memory and until his
glorious return, what he did on the eve of his Passion: "He took
bread. . . ." "He took the cup filled with wine. . . ." The signs of
bread and wine become, in a way surpassing understanding, the
Body and Blood of Christ; they continue also to signify the
goodness of creation. Thus in the Offertory we give thanks to the
Creator for bread and wine,154 fruit of the "work of human hands,"
but above all as "fruit of the earth" and "of the vine" - gifts of the
Creator. The Church sees in the gesture of the king-priest
Melchizedek, who "brought out bread and wine," a prefiguring of
her own offering.155
1334 In the Old Covenant bread and wine were offered in sacrifice
among the first fruits of the earth as a sign of grateful
acknowledgment to the Creator. But they also received a new
significance in the context of the Exodus: the unleavened bread that
Israel eats every year at Passover commemorates the haste of the
departure that liberated them from Egypt; the remembrance of the
manna in the desert will always recall to Israel that it lives by the
bread of the Word of God;156 their daily bread is the fruit of the
promised land, the pledge of God's faithfulness to his promises. The
"cup of blessing"157 at the end of the Jewish Passover meal adds to
the festive joy of wine an eschatological dimension: the messianic
expectation of the rebuilding of Jerusalem. When Jesus instituted
the Eucharist, he gave a new and definitive meaning to the blessing
of the bread and the cup.
1335 The miracles of the multiplication of the loaves, when the
Lord says the blessing, breaks and distributes the loaves through his
disciples to feed the multitude, prefigure the superabundance of this
unique bread of his Eucharist.158 The sign of water turned into
wine at Cana already announces the Hour of Jesus' glorification. It
makes manifest the fulfillment of the wedding feast in the Father's
kingdom, where the faithful will drink the new wine that has
become the Blood of Christ.159
1336 The first announcement of the Eucharist divided the disciples,
just as the announcement of the Passion scandalized them: "This is a
hard saying; who can listen to it?"160 The Eucharist and the Cross
are stumbling blocks. It is the same mystery and it never ceases to
be an occasion of division. "Will you also go away?":161 the Lord's
question echoes through the ages, as a loving invitation to discover
that only he has "the words of eternal life"162 and that to receive in
faith the gift of his Eucharist is to receive the Lord himself.

Historia de la Solemnidad del
Corpus Christi
El Papa Urbano IV, por aquél entonces, tenía la corte en Orvieto, un
poco al norte de Roma. Muy cerca de esta localidad se encuentra
Bolsena, donde en 1263 o 1264 se produjo el Milagro de Bolsena:
un sacerdote que celebraba la Santa Misa tuvo dudas de que la
Consagración fuera algo real. Al momento de partir la Sagrada
Forma, vio salir de ella sangre de la que se fue empapando en
seguida el corporal. La venerada reliquia fue llevada en procesión a
Orvieto el 19 junio de 1264. Hoy se conservan los corporales donde se apoya el cáliz y la patena durante la Misa- en Orvieto, y
también se puede ver la piedra del altar en Bolsena, manchada de
sangre.
El Santo Padre movido por el prodigio, y a petición de varios
obispos, hace que se extienda la fiesta del Corpus Christi a toda la
Iglesia por medio de la bula "Transiturus" del 8 septiembre del
mismo año, fijándola para el jueves después de la octava de
Pentecostés y otorgando muchas indulgencias a todos los fieles que
asistieran a la Santa Misa y al oficio.
A fines del siglo XIII surgió en Lieja, Bélgica, un Movimiento
Eucarístico cuyo centro fue la Abadía de Cornillón fundada en 1124
por el Obispo Albero de Lieja. Este movimiento dio origen a varias
costumbres eucarísticas, como por ejemplo la Exposición y
Bendición con el Santísimo Sacramento, el uso de las campanillas
durante la elevación en la Misa y la fiesta del Corpus Christi.
Santa Juliana de Mont Cornillón, por aquellos años priora de la
Abadía, fue la enviada de Dios para propiciar esta Fiesta. La santa
nace en Retines cerca de Liège, Bélgica en 1193. Quedó huérfana
muy pequeña y fue educada por las monjas Agustinas en Mont
Cornillon. Cuando creció, hizo su profesión religiosa y más tarde
fue superiora de su comunidad. Murió el 5 de abril de 1258, en la
casa de las monjas Cistercienses en Fosses y fue enterrada en
Villiers.
Desde joven, Santa Juliana tuvo una gran veneración al Santísimo
Sacramento. Y siempre anhelaba que se tuviera una fiesta especial
en su honor. Este deseo se dice haber intensificado por una visión
que tuvo de la Iglesia bajo la apariencia de luna llena con una
mancha negra, que significaba la ausencia de esta solemnidad.
Juliana comunicó estas apariciones a Mons. Roberto de Thorete, el
entonces obispo de Lieja, también al docto Dominico Hugh, más
tarde cardenal legado de los Países Bajos y a Jacques Pantaleón, en
ese tiempo archidiácono de Lieja, más tarde Papa Urbano IV.
El obispo Roberto se impresionó favorablemente y, como en ese
tiempo los obispos tenían el derecho de ordenar fiestas para sus
diócesis, invocó un sínodo en 1246 y ordenó que la celebración se
tuviera el año entrante; al mismo tiempo el Papa ordenó, que un
monje de nombre Juan escribiera el oficio para esa ocasión. El
decreto está preservado en Binterim (Denkwürdigkeiten, V.I. 276),
junto con algunas partes del oficio.
Mons. Roberto no vivió para ver la realización de su orden, ya que
murió el 16 de octubre de 1246, pero la fiesta se celebró por primera
vez al año siguiente el jueves posterior a la fiesta de la Santísima
Trinidad. Más tarde un obispo alemán conoció la costumbre y la
extendió por toda la actual Alemania.
Luego, según algunos biógrafos, el Papa Urbano IV encargó un
oficio -la liturgia de las horas- a San Buenaventura y a Santo Tomás
de Aquino; cuando el Pontífice comenzó a leer en voz alta el oficio
hecho por Santo Tomás, San Buenaventura fue rompiendo el suyo
en pedazos.
La muerte del Papa Urbano IV (el 2 de octubre de 1264), un poco
después de la publicación del decreto, obstaculizó que se difundiera
la fiesta. Pero el Papa Clemente V tomó el asunto en sus manos y,
en el concilio general de Viena (1311), ordenó una vez más la
adopción de esta fiesta. En 1317 se promulga una recopilación de
leyes -por Juan XXII- y así se extiende la fiesta a toda la Iglesia.
Ninguno de los decretos habla de la procesión con el Santísimo
como un aspecto de la celebración. Sin embargo estas procesiones
fueron dotadas de indulgencias por los Papas Martín V y Eugenio
IV, y se hicieron bastante comunes a partir del siglo XIV.
La fiesta fue aceptada en Cologne en 1306; en Worms la adoptaron
en 1315; en Strasburg en 1316. En Inglaterra fue introducida de
Bélgica entre 1320 y 1325. En los Estados Unidos y en otros países
la solemnidad se celebra el domingo después del domingo de la
Santísima Trinidad.
En la Iglesia griega la fiesta de Corpus Christi es conocida en los
calendarios de los sirios, armenios, coptos, melquitas y los rutinios
de Galicia, Calabria y Sicilia.
Finalmente, el Concilio de Trento declara que muy piadosa y
religiosamente fue introducida en la Iglesia de Dios la costumbre,
que todos los años, determinado día festivo, se celebre este excelso
y venerable sacramento con singular veneración y solemnidad; y
reverente y honoríficamente sea llevado en procesión por las calles
y lugares públicos. En esto los cristianos atestiguan su gratitud y
recuerdo por tan inefable y verdaderamente divino beneficio, por el
que se hace nuevamente presente la victoria y triunfo de la muerte y
resurrección de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Prayers to the Virgin Mary
Oraciones a la Virgen María
The Memorare
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to your protection,
implored your help,
or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, we turn to you,
O Virgin of virgins, our Mother.
To you we come, before you we stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
do not despise our petitions,
but in your mercy hear us and answer us.
Amen.
SALVE
Dios te salve, Reina y Madre de misericordia, vida, dulzura y
esperanza nuestra; Dios te salve. A Ti llamamos los desterrados
hijos de Eva; a Ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando, en este valle de
lágrimas. Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra, vuelve a nosotros esos
tus ojos misericordiosos; y después de este destierro muéstranos a
Jesús, fruto bendito de tu vientre. ¡Oh clementísima, oh piadosa, oh
dulce siempre Virgen María!
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Amen
The Angelus
The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary:
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed
art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now
and at the hour of
our death. Amen.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to
Thy word.
Hail Mary . . .
And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary . . .
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of
the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that
we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known
by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be
brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ
Our Lord.
Amen.
V.Ruega por nosotros, Santa Madre de Dios.

Señor Jesucristo.
Oración
Omnipotente y sempiterno Dios, que con la cooperación del Espíritu
Santo, preparaste el cuerpo y el alma de la gloriosa Virgen y Madre
María para que fuese merecedora de ser digna morada de tu Hijo;
concédenos que, pues celebramos con alegría su conmemoración,
por su piadosa intercesión seamos liberados de los males presentes y
de la muerte eterna. Por el mismo Cristo nuestro Señor.
R.Amén
ACORDAOS
Acordaos, ¡oh piadosísima Virgen María!, que jamás
se ha oído decir que ninguno de los que han acudido a
vuestra protección, implorando vuestro auxilio, haya
sido desamparado. Animado por esta confianza, a Vos
acudo, oh Madre, Virgen de las vírgenes, y gimiendo
bajo el peso de mis pecados me atrevo a comparecer
ante Vos. Oh madre de Dios, no desechéis mis
súplicas, antes bien, escuchadlas y acogedlas benigna
mente. Amén.
BENDITA SEA TU PUREZA
Bendita sea tu pureza y eternamente lo sea, pues todo un Dios se
recrea, en tan graciosa belleza. A Ti celestial princesa, Virgen
Sagrada María, te ofrezco en este día, alma vida y corazón. Mírame
con compasión, no me dejes, Madre mía. Amén.
BAJO TU AMPARO
Bajo tu amparo nos acogemos, Santa Madre de Dios, no desprecies
nuestras súplicas en las necesidades, antes bien líbranos de todo
peligro, oh Virgen gloriosa y bendita. Amén.

¡Oh Señora mía! ¡Oh Madre mía! Yo me ofrezco enteramente a ti y
en prueba de mi filial afecto te consagro en este día, mis ojos, mis
oídos, mi lengua, mi corazón; en una palabra, todo mi ser. Ya que
soy todo tuyo Oh Madre de bondad, guardame y defiéndeme como a
pertenencia y posesión tuya. Amén
