THE GOLDEN ARROW PRAYER ?

MAY THE MOST HOLY, MOST SACRED, MOST ADORABLE, MOST INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND UNUTTERABLE NAME OF GOD BE ALWAYS PRAISED, BLESSED, LOVED, ADORED AND GLORIFIED, IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH, BY ALL THE CREATURES OF GOD, AND BY THE SACRED HEART OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, IN THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT OF THE ALTAR. AMEN.

After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow" as torrents of graces streamed from It for the conversion of sinners.

Feast of Our Lady of Częstochowa also known as the Black Madonna ??

The image of Our Lady of Częstochowa, also known as the Black Madonna, was traditionally believed to have been painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on a cypress wood panel from a table used by the Holy Family in Nazareth. It was said to have been brought from Jerusalem by St. Helen and was enshrined in Constantinople for 500 years. It was given to a Greek princess married to a Ruthenian nobleman and it was housed in the royal palace at Belz in the Ukraine for the next 600 years. Art historians believe it is a Byzantine icon of the Hodigitria type dating from the 6th - 9th Century.

The image was brought to Poland in 1382 by Ladislaus of Opole who rescued the painting from Belz while escaping an attack by the Tartars who had damaged the painting with an arrow. On his way to Silesia, Ladislaus stopped to rest in the town of Częstochowa near the church on Jasna Góra (Bright Hill). He believed that it was Our Lady’s desire for her image to remain in Częstochowa so he left the image at the church and invited the Pauline monks from Hungary to be its guardians.

Why an Australian super fund and Texan nuns are lobbying the world’s biggest fast-food company

The Benedictine Sisters of Boerne have a 32-year history of lobbying companies on issues such as water access and foreign workers' rights.

Their activism was spearheaded by Sister Mika and others, quickly growing into a coalition of 26 monasteries across the United States and Mexico.

However, the sisters didn't get interested in antibiotics reduction until about 10 years ago, when global attention was turning to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

AMR occurs when bugs that cause infectious disease can't be killed by the medicines designed to quash them, such as antibiotics.
