The Order of the Magnificat of the Mother of God has a special purpose the preservation of the Deposit of Faith through religious education in all its forms. God has established him as “a bulwark against the almost general apostasy” which has invaded Christendom and in particular the Roman Church.
In the middle of the 19th century, Archduchess Sophie, mother of the Emperor of Austria, gave a beautiful and sublime example of Christian charity. When this princess was told of the execution of Lebenyi, who, as is well known, had made an attempt on the life of the young and chivalrous Emperor Franz Joseph and had seriously wounded him, she said: “Will anyone in this vast empire think of praying for the soul of this unfortunate man? Well! I want to take upon me this duty that our holy religion prescribes; I forget that it caused me the greatest pain that can reach the heart of a mother worried for the life of her son, and, as a Christian, I resolved to have celebrated, from today, anniversary masses for the soul of this unhappy man.”

Preparatory Prayer
O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
