There is now available in the side menu the horarium as dictated by the Rule of Saint Paul of the Cross.

During this novena, my intention is very particular with even a place in mind that would be a perfect opportunity for a true oratory of the Passion of Our Lord. Pray that this may come to fruition. The ordinary’s heart must be softened and there must be a priest who is called by our Lord to join in this endeavor and to live a life fully devoted to the Passion of Our Lord.

Also, I went to Lucca on Sunday last with some American pilgrims. We were able to visit the Sanctuary of Saint Gemma and venerate her remains. In addition, we visited the Giannini home, where Saint Gemma spent the last years of her life and received many graces from Our Lord, including mystical union with the Infant Jesus.

And we saw the chair where Saint Gemma was sitting when this photo was taken, and another where she was sitting when she received the Crown of Thorns.

And here is the Sign of the Passionists, this particular one was made by Saint Gemma for a friend of hers.

Today I visited Saint Paul of the Cross to pray my Rosary and to ask his intercession concerning this current Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows.
