Blessed Father Enrico Rebuschini
Blessed Father Enrico Rebuschini
Birth: 1860
Birth: 1860
Death: 1938
Beatified By: Pope John Paul II
BL. ENRICO REBUSCHINI was born on 25 April 1860 in Gravedona, on Lake Como, Italy, to a wealthy family. He was sensitive to the needy and was so generous that he would give away all he had, to the last penny. He felt called to the priesthood and the consecrated life but was firmly opposed by his father. After a year studying at Pavia University, he could no longer tolerate the anti-clerical environment and returned to Como. Military service, a diploma in accountancy and two years' in his brother-in-law's silk factory could not deter him from following his vocation. The Diocese sent him to Rome where he attended the Pontifical Gregorian University and made an excellent impression there. But becoming gravely ill he had to return home. He recovered and embarked on a life of rigorous asceticism. He clearly perceived his objective: the gift of himself to God, a life constantly oriented to the Lord. He also became aware of his neighbours' needs, and for them resolved to develop the virtues of listening and service, seeing in them God himself. Enrico had always had a strong inclination to care for the sick, so in 1887 he joined the novitiate of the Camillians, Servants of the Sick, in Verona. He was ordained a priest by the future Pope St Pius X on 14 April 1889. He was sent to Verona's civil and military hospital (1891-1899) and then to the Cremona community where he lived until his death. From 1903 to 1937 he was administrator of the new St Camillus clinic and for 11 years, superior of his house. In all his free moments he would retire to pray; God had blessed him with the gift of contemplative prayer. As he walked through the streets of Cremona, people "saw" that he was holy and called him the "mystic of the streets". During his 49 years as a priest, Fr Rebuschini served the sick, even to the very end. After celebrating Mass for a sick person he felt ill, and he died a few days later on 10 May 1938, from bronchial-pneumonia.https://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/bios97.htm

Sacred Heart of Jesus
June is the month dedicated for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is really a beautiful, nay, sweet devotion. It is about the Love of God, Jesus' Heart symbolizes the very Love of God himself.
"....Only the Heart of Christ who knows the depths of his Father's love could reveal to us the abyss of his mercy in so simple and beautiful a way ----"From the Catechism. P:1439
"From the depth of my nothingness, I prostrate myself before Thee, O Most Sacred, Divine and Adorable Heart of Jesus, to pay Thee all the homage of love, praise and adoration in my power.
Amen. "- - St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Novena of Confidence
O Lord, Jesus Christ, to Your Most Sacred Heart I confide this intention...(mention your request)
Only look upon me, then do what Your Heart inspires...Let Your Sacred Heart decide...I count on You...I trust in You...I throw myself on Your mercy...
Lord Jesus! You will not fail me. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus. Your Kingdom Come.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked for many favors, but I earnestly implore this one. Take it, place it in Your Sacred Heart. When the Eternal Father sees it covered with Your Precious Blood, He will not refuse it. It will be no longer my prayer but Yours, O Jesus. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You. Let me never be confounded. Amen.
MEMORARE
A “Memorare” is a particular type of prayer that, in Latin, always begins with the word Memorare (“Call to mind” or “Remember”). In this Memorare to the Sacred heart of Jesus , we ask Christ to look not at our sins but to hear our request for a special favor.
Memorare to the Sacred Heart
Remember, O most sweet Jesus, that no one who has had recourse to Thy Sacred Heart, implored its help, or sought its mercy was ever abandoned. Encouraged with confidence, O tenderest of hearts, we present ourselves before Thee, crushed beneath the weight of our sins. In our misery, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, despise not our simple prayers, but mercifully grant our requests. Amen.
Irresistible Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory be...O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee!
Let us praySacred Heart of Jesus, for Whom one thing alone is impossible, namely, not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace we ask of Thee, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Thy tender Mother and ours.
Hail Holy Queen...Saint Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us!Heart of Jesus, rich unto all that call upon Thee, have mercy on us!Heart of Jesus, salvation of those who hope in Thee, have mercy on us!
(Each night Padre Pio presided over a ceremony of evening prayers, including recitation of the rosary, and conclusion with this "irresistible novena" to the Sacred Heart)
Consecration to The Sacred Heart
Jesus Christ, I recognize Thee as the King of the universe. Thou art the Author of all creation. Exercise over me all Thy rights. Renew in me those promises that I solemnly made in my baptism, rejecting Satan with all his works and pomps. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee all of my poor works and actions so that men might recognize Thy Sacred Royalty and reign that Thou dost desire to establish throughout the whole universe. Amen.

O Turris Davidicca Ora pro Nobis
For the past few weeks, I've been so much fascinated by the poetic title of Mary in the Litany of Loreto viz. "Turris Davidica".The beautiful Baroque engravings by the renowned Augsburg artist , Josef Sebastian Klauber, that I found in the website (http://campus.udayton.edu/mary//prayers/litanylor.html) has added further inspiration to my fascination. And today, I found to my surprise that in fact there is a private Revelation by Our Lady in a remote village in Netherlands to a frail woman named Elizabeth, and Mary appeared to her by the name "Turris Davidica" and there is even a painting of Mary as Turris Davidica, painted as per the direction of Mary herself!!! Strange .... !O Turris Davidica ora pro nobis...

To the DIVINE PRISONER
http://www.catholictradition.org/Christ/divine-prisoner.htm
[For a Visit to the Holy Eucharist]
O JESUS, DIVINE PRISONER present always in the Tabernacle as a ransom for my sins, look on me a prisoner, too, bound by my own guilt. O, relieve me from the shackles of my sins that I may give myself to the service of Thy Love.Deliver me from the shackles of my pride, sweet Jesus, from my vanity, sloth and anger, melt the stiffness of my will, break the tyranny of my passions, open wide the door of my dungeoned soul and dispel the darkness of my sins and ignorance.
Have pity, O Divine Prisoner! Have pity on this poor prisoner. Help me to escape from sin so that I may always be with Thee ... forever Thy prisoner! My mind chained by Thy Truth! My will chained by Thy Law! My heart chained by Thy Love! Chain me to Thee, living and dying. And may I die, dear Jesus, a prisoner in Thy Sacred Heart. Amen

O Beauty Ever Ancient and So New
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
Late have I loved you,
O Beauty ever ancient and so new,
Too late have I loved you!
You were within me, but I was outside to seek you.
Unlovely myself, I fell heedlessly upon all those lovely things which you created.
And always You were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you;
yet if they had not been in you they would not have been at all.
You called, you cried,you broke through my deafness.
You blazed, you gleamed, and you drove away my blindness.
You breathed your fragrance on me;
I drew in breath and now I long for you.
I have tasted, now I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched me, and now I burn with desire for your peace.
Amen
~ from 'Confessions of St. Augustine'
Revelation 2:4-5 (NIV)
St.Augustine's beautiful Prayer
Late have I loved you,
O Beauty ever ancient and so new,
Too late have I loved you!
You were within me, but I was outside to seek you.
And always You were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you;
yet if they had not been in you they would not have been at all.
You called, you cried,you broke through my deafness.
You blazed, you gleamed, and you drove away my blindness.
You breathed your fragrance on me;
I drew in breath and now I long for you.
I have tasted, now I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched me, and now I burn with desire for your peace.
Amen
~ from 'Confessions of St. Augustine'
