The Holy House of Loreto(The Shrine of Loreto contains the house where the Annunciation took place. The Litany of Loreto, in which the faithful honor Our Lady's many titles, was promoted in this shrine.)
Feast day December 10
Quote:
"These walls heard the 'yes' of Mary, that mysterious assent which opened Paradise to misfortunate humanity, stained and wounded by original and actual sin. It saw the flourishing infancy and adolescence of Jesus, the serene work of Joseph, the sweet and gentle relations of the Holy Family.
Msgr. Vincenzo Faraoni "Loreto: Sanctuary of the Incarnation
Meditation:
The Holy House was in the Holy Land until the year 1300 A.D., when the Holy House was miraculously translated by angels to Dalmatia and then to Italy in order to save it from desecration.

Cardinal Newman
"I went to Loreto with a simple faith, believing what I still believe, even more so after having seen. Now I no longer have any doubts. If you ask me why I believe it, it is because everyone believes it in Romecautious and skeptical as they are in many other things. I believe it as I believe that there is a planet calledNeptune, or that chloroform destroys the sense of pain. I have no prior difficulties on this point."
Frank Hanley "The Saints at Home in Loreto Shrine"
Resolution:
Today, when I look upon the walls of my house, I will think of the Holy House of Loreto traveling to safety on the wings of angels. If the angels can literally move this sacred house, than they can bring the spirit of Loreto to my home. I will ask for this grace today. I will pray today that in my home everyone, like the Blessed Virgin Mary, says YES to God.
Marian Vow:
"It comes as no surprise, then, to learn from the mass register of the Basilica that [St. Maximilian Kolbe] participated in a Mass along with thirty priests from Yugoslavia on July 13, 1919. The following day, the feast of the Franciscan theologian St. Bonaventure, he celebrated Mass within the Holy house itself."
Frank Hanley "The Saints at Home in Loreto Shrine"
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
