DIE XXII NOVEMBRIS. IN FESTO

S. <LECILI£i VIRGINIS ET MARTYRIS.

AD MATUTINUM, tiam ad Vesperas, quoties festum transferatur.

HYMNtTS.

Terrena cessent organa, Cor cestuans CsBcilise Coeleste fundit canticum, Deoque totum jubilat

Dum nuptiali nobilis Domus resultat gaudio ; Haeo sola tristis candido Geinit columba pectore.

O Christe mi dulcissime, Cui me sacravit charitas, Serva pudoris integram, Averte labem corpore.

Ovis leonem sedula

Agnum facit mitissimum ;

Hie fonte lotus mystico

Coclo repente militat. . ,.

Solvit Tiburtium soror Erroris e caligine, Factoque fratris asseclae Ad astra pandit semitam.

Seges per illam plurima Superna replet horrea : Verbo potens, fit particeps Apostolorum gloriae.

Delapsus arce siderum Illam tuetur Angelus, Rosceque mixtse liliis Ambire crines gestiunt.

Sertum rubens et candidum Affertur una conjugi, Quern castitatis semulum Co3lestis ardor efficit.

Te sponse Jesu, virginum Beata laudent agmina Patrique cum Paraclito Par sit per aevum gloria Amen:

AD LAUDES.

HYMNUS.

Nunc ad coronas pergite, Clamat suis Caecilia ; Mox ipsa Virgo sistitur Ad judicis praetorium.

Minantis iram despicit, Et falsa ridet numina ; Jam morte digna ducitur Puella culpoe nescia.

Inclusa perstat balneo, Ardent calore fornices ; Ast urit intus Virginem Divinus ignis fortior.

Intaminatam barbarus Ter ense lictor percutit ; Scelus tamen non perficit, Christus moras dat Martyri.

Horse supremse proxima, Deo sacrandas devovet iEdes avitas, libera, Volatque ad Agni nuptias.

Salveto, corpus Martyris Diu sub antris abditum I Nova refulgens gloria Romae parents redderis.

Ne fios tenebris areat, Te Virgo servat virginum ; Rubens cruoris purpura, Stola micante cingeris.

Dormi silenti marmore, Dum sede laetus caelica Indulget hymnis spiritus, Votisque dexter annuit.

Te sponse Jesu, virginum Beata laudant agmina ; Patrique cum Paraclito Par sit per oevum gloria.

Amen.

CATHOLIC BOOKS

J0^» The attention of the Public is respectfully called to the following CATA- LOGUE of popular Catholic Works.

Jggjp" In consequence of the variation in the price of materials for book-making, the following prices are liable to change as occasion requires.

rii lie Year of Mary; or, Tlie True Servant of the Blessed Virgin.

Translated from the French of Rev. M. D'Arville, Apostolic Prothonotary, and published with the approbation of the Right Rev. Bishop of Philadelphia, the Most Rev. Archbishop of Baltimore, and the Most Rev. Arch~ bishop of New York. 1 neat 12mo volume.

Price— In cloth $1.50

In gilt edges 2.00

This is a delightful book ; brimful of sweet flowers ; a lovely garland in honor of Mary our Mother and powerful intercessor before the throne of her Son.

Well has the Magnificat said, "all generations shall call me blessed;" all times, and in all lands, wherever the symbol, upon which her Divine Son ransomed a wicked and undeserving world with his excruciating sufferings and death, has a votary, her name, spotless and beautiful, shall be pronounced with reverence, and her protection implored.

The tome before us is a collection of the honors paid to Mary by the groat and good of all lands; by those who, with the diadem of earthly grahdeur adorning their brows, and vexed political commonwealths to guard and pacify, found time to honor the daughter of St. Anne, the beloved Mother of our Lord and Saviour.

Buy the book. Read one or two pages. We promise a feast, a desire to read the whole, a determination to do so. — Catholic Telegraph.

This work is divided into seventy-two Exorcises, corresponding with the number of years which the Blessed Virgin passed on earth, with a consecration

4 Published by Peter F. Cunningham, to Mary of the twelve months of the year, in reference to her virtues ; also a method of using certain of the Exercises by a way of devotion for the "Month. of Mary," a No vena in honor of the Immaculate Conception, and other matters both interesting and advantageous to the true servant of Mary, and those who would become *).

" Baltimore, April 6, 1865.

"We willingly unite with the Ordinary of Philadelphia and the Metropolitan of New York in approving 'The Year of Mary,' republished by Peter F. Cunningham, of Philadelphia.

"M. J. SPALDING,

"Archbishop of Baltimore."

A work presented to the Catholics with such recommendations does not need any word of encouragement from us. — Pilot.

This work meets a want long ungratified. The devotional Exercises which make up the book are ingeuiously arranged in reference, 1st, to each year of the Blessed Virgin's long residence on earth ; 2d, to every Sunday and festival throughout the year. The Exercises are therefore seventy-two in number, corresponding to the generally received belief of the duration of her terrestrial life.

The First Exercise is thus appropriated to the Immaculate Conception, and may be used both for the 8th of December and for the first day of the year. The seventy-second celebrates the Assumption, and maybe profitably read on the loch of August, and on the last day of the year.

Each Instruction is prefaced by a text from holy writ, and followed by an example, a historical fact, a practice and a prayer.

The Approbations are:

1st. By the Roman Theological Censor.

2d. By a favorable letter from his Holiness Gregory XVI.

3d. By the recommendatory signatures of the Archbishops of Baltimore and New York, and the Bishop of Philadelphia.

This Devotional is a deeply interesting and practical manual, and Mrs. Sadlier, who has very skilfully reduced the originally free translation into graceful conformity to the original, has rendered the Christian public a most essential service. We wish it the widest circulation. — N. Y. Tablet.

"The Year of Mary*' is one of the most beautiful tributes to the Mother of God that a Catholic family could desire to have. We are free, however, to confess our partiality in noticing any book that treats of the pre-eminent glory of her whom God exalted above all created beings.

But, independently of this consideration, the present volume can be recommended on its own special merits. Besides being replete with spiritual instruction, it presents a detailed account of the life of the Blessed Virgin from the Conception to the Assumption, and views her under every possible aspect, both, as regards herself and her relations with man. It lays down the rules by which we are to be guided in our practical devotions towards her ; displays its genuine characteristics, and indicates the sublime sentiments by which we ought to be actuated when we pay her our homage, or invoke her assistance.

"The Year of Mary" contains seventy-two Exercises, in accordance with the received opinion of the Church that the Blessed Virgin lived that number of years on earth. In these instructions, the reader shall learn her life, her prerogatives, her glory in Heaven, and her boundless goodness to mankind. We would like to see this book in every Catholic family in the c mntry. It is impossible for us to honor the Mother of God sufficiently well. But in reading this book, or any like it, we must ever bear in mind that acts, not mere professions of piety, should be the distinctive marks of "the true servant of the Blessed Virgin," and that she is really honored, only in so far as we imitate her virtues for the sake of Him through whom alone we can hope for eternal life.

The name of Mrs. Sadlier is familiar to the public; her talents as an authoress are too well known to need any eulogy here ; she is an accomplished lady, and has faithful y done her part. As to the publisher, Mr. Cunningham, we Fay, without flattery, that he has done a good work in presenting this excellent book to his fellow-Catholics, and with all our heart we wish him the fullest measure of success to which this noble enterprise entitles him.— -The Monthly.

216 South Third Street, Philadelphia. 5 epilations of §!• Ignatius 5 or, '* The Spiritual Exercises" expounded;

By Father Siniscalchi, of the Society of Jesus.

Published with the approbation of the Right Rev. Bishop of Philadelphia. 1 vol. 12mo.

Price— Neatly bound in cloth, gilt back $1.50

The fame of the great founder of the Society of Jesus, would itself insure the character of the above book of meditations, as one of the most meritorious kind. But the greater part of Catholics of all nations have been made familiar with the nature, object, and efficiency of these meditations in the Spiritual Retreats conducted by tho Fathers of this Society, in every language, in every ^country, and almost every town of Christendom. We are glad to see this valuable work published in our country and tongue, and feel assured it will be heartily welcomed by the multitudes who are familiar with it, if in no other way, at least from the free use which is made of it in the Jesuit Missions, forming, as it does, the basis of all those inspiriting exercises which constitute a spiritual retreat. — Catholic Mirror.

This is the first American edition of this celebrated work, which has been translated into nearly all tho European languages. It supplies a want long felt in America. It is an excellent book of Meditations for the family, but it is particularly adapted for those attending Retreats or Missions, especially those given by the Jesuits, whose method this is. We cannot too strongly recommeud this book to the Catholic public. — N&.& York Tabtet.

This is a timely publication of the Meditations of St. Ignatius, and the Catholic community are indebted to the Philadelphia publisher for bringing the work within their reach. In Europe, where it is well known, it would be superfluous to do more than call attention to the fact of a new edition being published ; but inasmuch as American Catholics have not had an opportunity of becoming very familiar with the work, it may not be out of place to say a few words concerning it.

The Meditations are twenty-two in number, each divided into three parts, and in each division the subject is viewed, as it were, from a different point of view, the last being always the most striking. Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven, the Mysteries of the Saviour's Life, and the Happiness of Divine Love — these are the subjects of the Saint's meditations, and every consideration germain to such topics calculated to excite the feelings or influence the judgment, is brought before the reader in simple, forcible language, or impressed on the mind by means of a striking anecdote or opposite illustration. The volume is thickly strewn with quotations from sacred and patritic writings, and the whole range of profane history is laid under contribution to furnish material wherewith to point a moral or enforce a truth.

No Catholic family should be without this book, and no Catholic library should be depending on one copy. It is a noble edition to the ever-increasing stock of Catholic devotional literature, and we hope tho publisher's judicious venture will be successful. We must not omit to mention that the publication has received the official sanction of the Right Rev. Bishop of Philadelphia. — Metropolitan Record.
