I used to weep my eyes out when she'd send me back to my room But crying doesn't do any good with Sister Loretto." "Crying is never any good," said Aunt Claudia. She was of Spartan mold. "Crying only weakens. When things are so bad that you must cry, then do it where the world can't see." Becky found herself thrilled by the thought of Aunt Claudia crying in secret.
Such are the well-known image in the chapel at Loretto, and images and paintings besides in the churches at Genoa, Pisa, Padua, Munich and other places. It is difficult not to regard these as very old Pagan or pre-Christian relics which lingered on into Christian times and were baptized anew as indeed we know many relics and images actually were into the service of the Church.
After leaving school, he made a pilgrimage to Loretto to make his vows to the Virgin Mary of extirpation of heresy, and went to Rome to obtain the blessing of Pope Clement VIII. Then, returning to the government of his inheritance, he seized that terrible two-edged weapon of which the Protestants of Germany had taught him the use.
I I think most women would be better off if they were like Sister Loretto." "They would not. Stop talking rot, Becky, and take that thing off your head. It makes you look like a nun." "I know. I saw myself in the glass. I don't mind looking like a nun, Randy." "Well, I mind. Turn your head and I'll take out that pin." "Don't be silly, Randy." He persisted. "Keep still while I take it out "
Its buildings are small, and it is said, for some greatly needed city improvement, will probably be soon torn down; on hearing which, I thought, would that some genius like Aladdin's, or some angel who bore through the air the chapel of the "Lady of Loretto," might bear these old buildings bodily to our land and set them down on the Yale grounds, so that we might exchange their picturesque antiquity for the present college buildings, which, tho endeared to us by many associations, are like a row of respectable brick factories.
The procession marched to the church of our Lady of Loretto, where they solemnly promised to the blessed Virgin a lamp and ship of gold should she be willing to use her influence in behalf of the suffering city to be placed on her shrine as soon as the siege should be raised. But these demonstrations, however cheering to the souls, had comparatively little effect upon the bodies of the sufferers.
After his baptism and subsequent confirmation, this somewhat singular Christian set out on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Loretto, and afterwards proceeded to Rome, where he was received with open arms by Alexander VII. On his return journey through Germany he found that the emperor was at war with the Turks; and, without hesitation, espoused the Christian cause against the circumcised heathen, slaying the Turkish general with his own hand, and performing other stupendous exploits, of which he gives a detailed narration.
There be who knows not that there be? of Protestants and professors who live and die in as arrant and implicit faith as any lay Papist of Loretto. A wealthy man, addicted to his pleasure and profits, finds Religion to be a traffic so entangled, and of so many piddling accounts, that of all mysteries he cannot skill to keep a stock going on that trade. What should he do?
Oh, why hadn't Sister Loretto told her that there were men like this? Why hadn't Aunt Claudia returned in time? In the big box which Mandy had brought up were clothes exquisite things which Becky had ordered from New York. She had thought it a miracle that George should have fallen in love with her believing her poor. It showed, she felt, his splendidness, his kindly indifference to poverty.
If our Christ-worshipers boast of having received images from Heaven miraculously, as, for example, those of Notre-Dame de Loretto, and of Liesse and several other gifts from Heaven, as the pretended Holy Vial of Rheims, as the white Chasuble which St.
