The Reign of Mary
No. 182: Spiritual Aids for Confraternity Members (January, February, March)
January
- Daily prayer: Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus
- Intention: For the spiritual success of the priests’ meeting, for an end to abortion, and for peace in our country.
- January is the month of the Holy Name. Make a special effort to make reparation for the insults and blasphemies committed against the Holy Name, especially by the recital of the Divine Praises, or the simple aspirations, “Blessed be His Holy Name,” and “Most Holy Name of Jesus, save us!”
- Suggested spiritual reading: To Know Christ Jesus by Sheed, The Holy Will of God by Pyzalski, St. John Bosco by Forbes, A Story of First Saturday Reparation (pamphlet)
February
- Daily extra prayer: Litany of Humility
- Intention: For the spread of the traditional Catholic Faith throughout the world and the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy.
- February is the month of the Sacred Passion. Kiss your crucifix often in reparation for your sins and in gratitude for His love which led Him to lay down His life for you.
- Suggested spiritual reading: Devotion to the Mother of Sorrows (pamphlet), School of Jesus Crucified (Ignatius); Sin and Its Consequences (Manning); Saints for Sinners (Goodier).
March
- Daily extra prayer: “O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong…”
- March is dedicated in a special way to St. Joseph. Make extra visits to an image or shrine of this great Saint throughout the month.
- Intention: Pray in a special way for many holy vocations to the priesthood and the religious life.
- Suggested books for spiritual reading: Manual of Practical Devotion to St. Joseph by Patrignani, The Spiritual Combat by Scupoli, Saint Among the Hurons by Talbot, The Passion of Jesus and Its Hidden Meanings by Groenings
