In them He shows Himself as our model and wills to make Himself one with our souls as Head of the Mystical Body of which we are members. Each of Christ’s mysteries, representing a state of His Sacred Humanity, brings to us a special participation in His Divinity. Advent, Christmas, Holy Week, Paschaltide, the feasts of Corpus Christi and the Sacred Heart—following Christ in this way, uniting ourselves to Him, we share more deeply in His Divinity and His Divine life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThis is why, writes Blessed Marmion, the contemplation of the mysteries of Jesus is so fruitful and why contact with the different phases of the life of her Bridegroom, into which the Church places us by means of the Liturgy, is so vital for us. Participation in the mysteries of Jesus requires the co-operation of the soul. If Christ opens to us the unfathomable treasures of His states and mysteries it is that we may draw upon them and make them our own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe Sovereign Pontiff Pius X wrote in his encyclical of November 23rd, 1903, that “the active participation of the faithful in the sacred mysteries and in the public and solemn prayers of the Church is \u003ci\u003ethe first and indispensable source of the Christian spirit\u003c\/i\u003e.” There is no surer way, no more infallible means, of making us one with Christ. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003ePRAISE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e“[The works of Marmion] are outstanding in the accuracy of their doctrine, the clarity of their style, and the depth and richness of their thought.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e— \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';\"\u003ePOPE PIUS XII\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e“Abbot Marmion carries us back to a wider and more wholesome tradition, and many will rise up to bless him, as they find in his teaching new strength, and fresh vigor in their striving after God.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e— \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';\"\u003eFRANCIS CARDINAL BOURNE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e“He revealed the soul of the liturgy to us, by which I mean all those elements of doctrine and of life which it holds in reserve within the visible envelope of its rites and symbols.”— \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';\"\u003eDOM LAMBERT BEAUDUIN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUR LADY OF GOOD SUCCESS CATHOLIC TRADER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760669950185,"sku":null,"price":19.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/2598\/5001\/files\/OWOL.jpg?v=1788093818","url":"https:\/\/ologsct.com\/products\/our-way-and-our-life-christ-in-his-mysteries","provider":"OUR LADY OF GOOD SUCCESS CATHOLIC TRADER ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
