The Mass was celebrated at the Cave of St. Ninian.
The pilgrims visited at the R.C. Church at prayer adoration.
"All God puts other things front of us, our lives are rooted in prayer contemplation and the Blessed Sacrament.
My prayer at this time is that all people, lay and religious can live in Christ who is not only amongst us not within us and truly find the fruits of our Church".
Participation in the Church of St. Martin and St. Ninian, and support of the Whithorn Trust enliven the town community.
In the pages of a monk's Choir Book, the thoughts in a folder of Eucharist reflection.
Thanks to Andrew for the enclosures.
"The Life & Miracles of St. Ninian". translated from an anonymous Scots poem of the fifteenth century is an invaluable publication.

My Daily Offering:
I offer all . . .
Eternal Father, I place upon the paten, my whole being, my soul,
my body, my intellect and my will, for I offer You all that I am and have; also
all my joys, my sorrows of today, my work with its fatigue, my crosses with
their bitterness.
I place also upon this paten the hearts of all those whom I
love, those who have done me good, those who have recommended themselves to my
prayers, those for whom I have promised to pray, and the hearts of all the
agonizing.
THROUGH THE IMMACULATE
HEART OF MARY
I unite all this to the offering of Jesus as a holocaust of love
for the salvation and sanctification of priestly and religious souls and for my
own sanctification.
United to Christ
By the drop of water which represents me, o my God, permit me to
cast into the Chalice, with Jesus Christ, every moment of my life so that all
may be sanctified, supernaturalized in the Blood of Christ and may pass through
Him to the Adorable Trinity.
I cast also into the Chalice and I offer You the life and
efforts of all, so that their life too may take on a divine value.
I place also within the chalice the souls of all my relatives
for whom I should pray: the souls of those for whom I may have forgotten to
pray: the souls most devout to the Sacred Heart and the Blessed Virgin: the
souls of the most abandoned. Jesus, when You change the wine into Your Precious
Blood, change these poor souls from their place of suffering into Eternal
Happiness.
Eternal
rest give unto them, 0 Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Mother of sorrows! Mother of Christ!
You had influence with your Divine Son when on earth, you have
the same influence now in Heaven, pray for me.
In all the Masses
O my Jesus, I unite myself to all the Masses which will be
celebrated this day throughout the world, in union with the intentions of your
Sacred Heart. O my Jesus, I beg of you to retain for me, from each of these
Masses, a drop of Your Precious Blood, in expiation for my sins.
O Divine Heart of Jesus, give to the world many and holy priests
to continue the work of your Redemption. AMEN.
A TREASURE TO EXPLOIT.
The
death of our Saviour Jesus Christ upon the Cross-That is the great Treasure!
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the key which unlocks this Treasure from
which we can derive an abundance o(graces.
Th.e
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the centre, the heart of our religion, a heart
which, without ceasing, sends a stream of grace into the veins of Christianity,
so that it may vivify each and every member of the great Mystical Body of
Christ which is our Holy Mother the Church. (Mgr.Mader)
LET US USE this TREASURE . . .
–By assisting devoutly at Holy Mass.
–By having Masses said.
–By uniting with all the Masses which will be celebrated in the
world, at every hour of the day and night.
More than 400,000 Masses are celebrated each day-which means 5
Elevations every second. He who unites himself with them, shares in them. Let
us therefore gain for ourselves a Treasure in eternity.
TREMEMTDOUS
VALUE OF HOLY MASS
AT the hour of death the holy Masses you have heard devoutly
will be your consolation.
EVERY MASS will go with you to Judgement and will plead for
pardon for you.
By every Mass you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your
sins, more or less, according to your fervour.
By devoutly assisting at Holy Mass you render the greatest
homage possible to the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord.
ONE HOLY Mass, heard during your life, will be of more benefit
to you than many heard for you after your death.
THROUGH Holy Mass you are preserved from many dangers and
misfortunes which would otherwise have befallen you. You shorten your Purgatory
by every Mass.
By piously hearing Holy Mass you afford ·the Souls in Purgatory
the greatest possible relief.
