Mary garden
A Mary garden is a small plot of cultivated land enclosing a statute or shrine of the Virgin Mary, who is known to many Christians as the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady, or the Mother of God. In Christian tradition, Mary is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ. Mary gardens are most common to those Christian denominations which hold the Virgin Mary in special esteem, particularly Roman Catholics and Anglicans.

Pope Leo XIII
Pope Leo XIII (2 March 1810 - 20 July 1903), born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci to an Italian comital family, was the 256th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, reigning from 1878 to 1903 in succession to Pope Pius IX. Reigning until the age of 93, he was the oldest pope, and had the third longest pontificate, behind his immediate predecessor Pius IX and John Paul II.

Pope Pius IX
Blessed Pope Pius IX (13 May 1792, Senigallia – 7 February 1878), born Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti, was the longest-reigning elected Pope in Church history, serving from 16 June 1846 until his death, a period of nearly 32 years. During his pontificate, he convened the First Vatican Council in 1869, which decreed papal infallibility. The Pope defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, meaning that Mary was conceived without original sin and that she lived a life completely free of sin.

Miraculous Medal
The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, is a medal created by Saint Catherine Labouré following a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Many Catholic Christians around the world (and some non-Catholics) wear the Miraculous Medal, which they believe will bring them special graces through the intercession of Mary if worn with faith and devotion at the hour of death. It is often worn together with the Brown Scapular. Such items of devotion are not charms and should not be construed as being either "magical" or superstitious (two conditions which are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church) but serve as constant physical reminders of devotion.

CHAPTER FOUR OTHER LITURGICAL CELEBRATIONS ARTICLE 1 SACRAMENTALS 1667 "Holy Mother Church has, moreover, instituted sacramentals. These are sacred signs which bear a resemblance to the sacraments. They signify effects, particularly of a spiritual nature, which are obtained through the intercession of the Church. By them men are disposed to receive the chief effect of the sacraments, and various occasions in life are rendered holy."173 The characteristics of sacramentals 1668 Sacramentals are instituted for the sanctification of certain ministries of the Church, certain states of life, a great variety of circumstances in Christian life, and the use of many things helpful to man. In accordance with bishops' pastoral decisions, they can also respond to the needs, culture, and special history of the Christian people of a particular region or time. They always include a prayer, often accompanied by a specific sign, such as the laying on of hands, the sign of the cross, or the sprinkling of holy water (which recalls Baptism). 1669 Sacramentals derive from the baptismal priesthood: every baptized person is called to be a "blessing," and to bless.174 Hence lay people may preside at certain blessings; the more a blessing concerns ecclesial and sacramental life, the more is its administration reserved to the ordained ministry (bishops, priests, or deacons).175 1670 Sacramentals do not confer the grace of the Holy Spirit in the way that the sacraments do, but by the Church's prayer <b>...</b>

Popular piety 1674 Besides sacramental liturgy and sacramentals, catechesis must take into account the forms of piety and popular devotions among the faithful. The religious sense of the Christian people has always found expression in various forms of piety surrounding the Church's sacramental life, such as the veneration of relics, visits to sanctuaries, pilgrimages, processions, the stations of the cross, religious dances, the rosary, medals,180 etc. 1675 These expressions of piety extend the liturgical life of the Church, but do not replace it. They "should be so drawn up that they harmonize with the liturgical seasons, accord with the sacred liturgy, are in some way derived from it and lead the people to it, since in fact the liturgy by its very nature is far superior to any of them."181 1676 Pastoral discernment is needed to sustain and support popular piety and, if necessary, to purify and correct the religious sense which underlies these devotions so that the faithful may advance in knowledge of the mystery of Christ.182 Their exercise is subject to the care and judgment of the bishops and to the general norms of the Church. At its core the piety of the people is a storehouse of values that offers answers of Christian wisdom to the great questions of life. The Catholic wisdom of the people is capable of fashioning a vital synthesis. . . . It creatively combines the divine and the human, Christ and Mary, spirit and body, communion and institution, person and <b>...</b>

shop.catholic.com Tim Staples explains the Biblical basis for the Catholic practice of confessing sins to a priest. The most common charge non-Catholic Christians make against the Catholic Church is that the tenets of Catholicism are man-made and unbiblical. Those are serious charges, for sure. But can you refute them? In his new, hour-long DVD Defending Your Faith: How to Counter Standard Objections to Catholicism, Catholic Answers' Director of Apologetics Tim Staples presents some of the most common challenges to Catholicism and shows you how to refute them. As an apologist, Staples shows not only where the pertinent passages are that explain the Catholic position, but also some of the logical and rhetorical strategies you can use in any situation. In Defending Your Faith, you'll learn the biblical basis for: * the ordained priesthood, * the use of statues and images as sacramentals, * praying to the saints, * confessing sins to a priest, * and the necessity of faith and works for salvation. Defending Your Faith is not simply 60 minutes of "dueling Bible verses"—because along with the scriptural support, Staples also explains the beautifully rational arguments which make these same teachings come alive in our hearts and minds. And Staples isn't speaking from a purely academic perspective when he shares this wisdom with his audience.

CHAPTER FOUR OTHER LITURGICAL CELEBRATIONS ARTICLE 2 CHRISTIAN FUNERALS 1680 All the sacraments, and principally those of Christian initiation, have as their goal the last Passover of the child of God which, through death, leads him into the life of the Kingdom. Then what he confessed in faith and hope will be fulfilled: "I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come."184 I. THE CHRISTIAN'S LAST PASSOVER 1681 The Christian meaning of death is revealed in the light of the Paschal mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ in whom resides our only hope. The Christian who dies in Christ Jesus is "away from the body and at home with the Lord."185 1682 For the Christian the day of death inaugurates, at the end of his sacramental life, the fulfillment of his new birth begun at Baptism, the definitive "conformity" to "the image of the Son" conferred by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and participation in the feast of the Kingdom which was anticipated in the Eucharist- even if final purifications are still necessary for him in order to be clothed with the nuptial garment. 1683 The Church who, as Mother, has borne the Christian sacramentally in her womb during his earthly pilgrimage, accompanies him at his journey's end, in order to surrender him "into the Father's hands." She offers to the Father, in Christ, the child of his grace, and she commits to the earth, in hope, the seed of the body that will rise in glory.186 This offering is fully <b>...</b>

On the Origin of Cultural Integration
By Sister Marie Thérèse, MICM Theme: Toward an Integral Catholic Culture: Variations on a Theme of Father Feeney Title: On the Origin of Cultural Integration Using the Holy Rosary and its mysteries, the Miraculous Medal, and the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, as exhibits for her thesis, Sister brought out beautifully how an integral, or complete, Catholic Culture can be built around these sacramental gifts from God. These sacramentals are original, she said, in the sense of causal starting points from which a living Faith draws spiritual nourishment, as in the proper order of first things first. If good Catholics do not use them properly they are not going to have a foundation upon which to nurture a Catholic culture, because one cannot give what one does not have. She developed the point that only those who live these devotions can foster a culture that is integrally Catholic. One ought not merely recite the Rosary, she stressed, but meditate on the mysteries. This prayer of meditation will give one the grace to live out in daily life the many lessons of the Rosary. Life is vibrant, and so should be the meditation on each mystery. Employing richly relevant anecdotes Sister then drew the same lesson from the Miraculous Medal and Scapular devotions. One ought not to merely wear the sacramentals, but live according to what they signify. 2009 SBC Conference To buy this DVD go here: store.catholicism.org

The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, blesses the Holy Chrism during the annual Chrism Mass on April 19, 2011, at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption. The three Holy Oils -- Oil of Catechumens, Oil of the Sick, and Holy Chrism-- are sacramentals blessed by a bishop each year. The first two are pure olive oil and blessed before the Chrism. Chrism has in the oil a mixture of balm or balsam. In 1970, the Congregation for Divine Worship declared that, if necessary, the holy oils may be from any plant and not only from olives. The holy oils are symbols of spiritual nourishment and the light of grace. They are used in the public administration of baptism, confirmation, and anointing of the sick. The blessing of the holy oils normally takes place during Holy Week by a bishop at a cathedral church. After distribution locally they are kept in boxes in the ambry for sacramental use. Unused oils, a year later, are burned in the sanctuary lamp.

Non-Catholic denominations claim that they did not begin new churches, but merely "reformed" the old one. In answer we ask, Did the True Church exist at the time of the founding of these new churches, or not? If it did not, then Christ's promise to be with His Church always had failed; If it did exist, then those who invented new doctrines were not reforming it, but founding new churches. Catholics Do Not Believe: That the Pope is God and can do no wrong; That anybody or anything may be worshiped or adored besides the True God; That the Blessed Virgin is equal to God; That images may be worshiped; That indulgences give permission to commit sin; That a Mass can be bought; That forgiveness of sin can be bought; That sin can be forgiven without true sorrow; That scapulars, medals, crucifixes, and other sacramentals can give graces without proper dispositions on the part of the user; That non-Catholics will all be damned; That all Catholics will go to heaven; That the Bible is the only rule of faith; That anybody may interpret the Bible; That Our Lord Jesus Christ established many Churches; That outward piety is profitable without charity of the spirit; That all religions are the same. Jesus says "Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask him" (Matt. 6:8). This doesn't mean that, since God already knows our needs, we don't have to pray at all. As Jesus taught in the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8), we are to <b>...</b>
Immortal Combat Preview
A short preview of Father Corapi's classic series on spiritual warfare. This series of eight spiritual conferences is by far one of the most popular of all of Father Corapi's hundreds of titles. In a world filled with conflict and strife we would do well to remember that "Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers..." as St. Paul teaches us in Ephesians 6. Fr. Corapi presents this series as a basic course in spiritual warfare. Topics such as the reality of spiritual combat, the sacraments and sacramentals as weapons in this combat, the angels and souls in purgatory as our allies, the Cross and humility as powerful weapons, and other topics are covered in this powerful series. A true Fr. Corapi classic!

Sacramentals
sacramental: Fivefold Scapular with Scapular of the Passion showing a tiny crucifix attached]]
Sacramentals are material objects, things or actions (sacramentalia) set apart or blessed by the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches, the Anglican Churches, and Old Catholic Churches to manifest the respect due to the Sacraments, and so to excite good thoughts and to increase devotion, and through these movements of the heart to remit venial sin, according to the Council of Trent (Session XXII, 15).
The Sacraments were instituted by Jesus Christ; most, but not all, of the sacramentals were instituted by the Church.
The Sacraments give grace of themselves and are always fruitful when the faithful place no spiritual obstacles in the way; the sacramentals excite pious dispositions, by means of which the faithful may obtain grace. It is not the sacramental itself that gives grace, but the devotion, love of God, or sorrow for sin that it inspires, and the prayers of the Church that render sacramentals efficacious against evil.

Catholic Encyclopedia: Sacramentals
In Roman Catholicism Sacramentals such as Holy water, the Crucifix or the Saint Benedict Medal are recommended as a means of protection against evil.
Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican usage
container (stoup) at the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Rome.]] When the term is used in the singular it is preceded by an article ("a sacramental" or "the sacramental") as sacramental is also an adjective describing the seven Sacraments.These churches recognize two differences between the Sacraments and the sacramentals:
Although the Catholic Church restricts the reception of the Sacraments by non-Catholics, this is not true of the sacramentals. The pious use of sacramentals by non-Catholics is permitted and even encouraged. As blessed objects or rituals that represent sacred beliefs and persons, disrespect to sacramentals is considered a form of sacrilege.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that sacramentals "do not confer the grace of the Holy Spirit in the way that the sacraments do, but by the Church's prayer, they prepare us to receive grace and dispose us to cooperate with it."
Protection against evil
Lay Catholics are not permitted to perform exorcisms but they can use Holy water and other sacramentals such as the Saint Benedict Medal or the Crucifix for warding off evil., used in a rosary.]] The Saint Benedict Medal which includes the Vade Retro Satana formula to ward off Satan has been in use at least since the 18th century and in 1742 it received the approval of Pope Benedict XIV. It later became part of the Roman Catholic ritual.
The Crucifix is widely considered to be one of the most effective means of averting or opposing demons, as stated by many exorcists, including the famous exorcist of the Vatican, Father Gabriele Amorth.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (number 301) specifically refers to the use of Holy water for "protection from the powers of darkness". Catholic saints have written about the power of Holy water as a force that repels evil. Saint Teresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Church who reported visions of Jesus and Mary, was a strong believer in the power of Holy water and wrote that she used it with success to repel evil and temptations.
The Scapular of St. Michael the Archangel is associated with Archangel Michael, the chief enemy of Satan. Pope Pius IX gave this scapular his blessing, but it was first formally approved under Pope Leo XIII. The scapular bears the well-known representation of the Archangel St. Michael slaying the dragon and the inscription "Quis ut Deus?" meaning Who is like God?.
Marian sacramentals
Marian sacramentals: Rosary beads and a Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel]] A number of specifically Marian sacramentals are used only by some Roman Catholics. These include the Rosary, various scapulars, as well as medals such as the Miraculous Medal. The Rosary and the scapular are by far the most used Marian sacramentals.Here are several Marian scapulars in use:
:* The Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel :* The Scapular of Our Lady of Ransom (B. Maria V. de Mercede redemptionis captivorum) :* The Black Scapular of the Seven Dolours of Mary :* The Blue Scapular of the Immaculate Conception :* The White Scapular of the Immaculate Heart of Mary :* The White Scapular of the Our Lady of Good Counsel
Of these, the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel has the largest following.
Examples
Some examples of rituals that are sacramentals are making the sign of the cross, bowing the head or bowing deeply, folding hands, genuflection, prostration, the imposition of blessed ashes (the ashes themselves are also a sacramental), the recital of blessings, the washing of feet, the celebration of the canonical hours and the seasons of the liturgical year, exorcisms, the reception of the minor orders, and the churching of women.Statues and icons are examples of objects that are sacramentals. Other examples of objects that may be considered sacramentals are ashes, bells (especially church bells), blessed fire, blessed salt, candles, the nativity scene, the Advent wreath, crucifixes, holy oil, holy water, incense, liturgical vessels (e.g. chalices), a Mary garden, medals (e.g. the Miraculous Medal or the Saint Benedict Medal), palm branches, graves, funeral palls, religious habits and scapulars, rosaries, vestments, or wedding rings.
The use of Holy water as a sacramental for protection against evil is almost exclusive to Roman Catholics. A number of other sacramentals such as the Little Sachet (associated with the Holy Name of Jesus) are used by Roman Catholics.
Other examples may be found at Anglican devotions and Catholic devotions.
