The Feast of Mater Admirabilis
October 20
Originally called the "Madonna of the Lily" or the "Virgin of the Temple,"
the painting was renamed in 1846 after Pope Pius visited the Trinita dei Monti
in Rome and exclaimed in Latin, "Mother most admirable!" Religious of the Sacred
Heart, for whom contemplation is the heart of their vocation, cherish Mater as
the guardian of the interior life.
The story of how Mater’s picture came to be painted follows:
Pauline Perdreau was a postulant at the Trinita dei Monti in Rome studying to become a Religious of the Sacred Heart. In 1844, She asked the Mother Superior, if she could paint a picture of Our Lady right on one of the barren walls of the convent. Mother Superior hesitated because Pauline had not had artistic experience painting directly on plaster walls. Bt after praying, she granted Pauline permission to paint the Blessed Mother.
Pauline did not want to paint the Blessed Mother as she had seen many other artist paint her: in dark blue and gray and white. She wished to paint a young and joyful Mary, using shades of pink, soft ivory, white and gold. Pauline began her task by praying to the Blessed Mother to help her to do this painting beautifully.
During the weeks that followed, Pauline spent long hours working on the fresco. Many of the children helped her set up the materials and they watched enthusiastically as the picture gradually started to look like the Blessed Mother.
But when the picture was finally finished, all of the nuns and children were very disappointed. The colors were much too bright for a painting of the Blessed Mother. Everyone thought it would be best to cover the picture with a curtain. Little by little, everyone tried to forget about the painting. Everyone except Pauline, who was very disappointed in her work.
Then, one day Pope Pius IX came to visit the convent. When he walked down the long hall, he asked to see what was behind the curtain. The nuns tried to discourage him, but he was determined to see the fresco that Pauline had painted.
When the curtain was removed, all were amazed. The colors had dried and softened, and in font of them was a beautiful picture of the mother of Jesus. Upon seeing the picture, the Pope exclaimed, "Mater Admirabilis," thus giving her the title that the picture still bears to this day. All of us at Sacred Heart schools around the world love our Mater Admirabilis.
The Feast Day of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne
November 18
Rose Philippine Duchesne was the first Religious of the Sacred Heart to come to the United States in 1818. Leading a small group of rscj, she began the first Sacred Heart school in the United States in St. Charles, Missouri.
It is because of the pioneering spirit of St. Rose Philippine that we at the Rosary are privileged to be Children of the Sacred Heart.
Philippine's biographers emphasize two important characteristics of Philippine: her deep prayer life, and her response to others in justice and love. These are at the heart of her spirit. Although cultural conditions in our country have changed radically, Philippine's spirit is a constant and is able to inspire and encourage us.
