(June 13: Feast of St. Anthony of Padua and also the Immaculate Heart of Mary this year)

And as the moon at its full she shines. The blessed Mary is said to be the full moon, because in every way perfect. The moon is imperfect when a half-moon, because it is stained or horned. But the glorious Virgin neither in Her birth had any stain, because sanctified in Her mother’s womb, guarded by angels, nor in Her days had She the horns of pride. Hence, She shone fully and perfectly. She is said to be light because She dispels the darkness.

We beseech You, our Lady, that You who are the morning star, cast out the cloud of diabolical suggestion shrouding the land of our minds; that You who are the full moon fill our emptiness, dispel the darkness of our sins, that we might merit to come to the fullness of eternal life, to the light of unending glory. May He grant this who made You our light… To Him be the glory and honor for ever. Amen.

St. Anthony of Padua

At the retreat titled “Fatima, and the Hearts of Jesus and Mary” Fr. Dwight Campbell pastor of Our Lady Mt. Carmel in Kenosha, WI gives the first of five talks. He calls it “Remote Preparation for the Messages of Fatima” and goes into the theological basis of the idea of reparation and penance that is called for in the messages of Our Lady to the three children of Fatima one hundred years ago. He refers often to the writings of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. http://www.sacredheartapostolate.com/MargaretMary.html
