Volume 14.
Time After Pentecost.
Book V.
Upon the falling of our first parents, and their expulsion from Paradise, The Word and Wisdom of God, that is, The Second Person of The Blessed Trinity, began the great work of our deliverance — that magnificent work of human redemption which, by an all-gracious, eternal decree of the Three Divine Persons, was to be wrought out by The Son of God in our flesh.
And as that Blessed Saviour, in His infinite wisdom, made spontaneous choice of sorrows, of sufferings, and of death on a Cross, as the best means of our redemption, so has He always allotted to His best-loved friends, the kind of life which He had deliberately chosen for Himself, that is, the way of the Cross.

The third Church on this site, still in use today, is a Neo-Classical work of art. It was built with granite from Rivière-à-Pierre. The plans were drawn by Georges-Émile Tanguay, architect of the City Hall of Quebec City. The first Mass was Celebrated in 1902.

And the nearest and dearest to Him were those who were predestined, like His Blessed Mother, the “Mater Dolorosa”, to have the honour of being most like Himself, the Man of Sorrows.
Hence, the toils and trials of the greatest Saints; hence, the great deliverances wrought by them, and their heroic victories over the World and over the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
On the Feasts of Saint Raymund of Pegnafort and Saint Peter Nolasco, we saw something of the origin of the illustrious Order, to which Raymund Nonnatus added such glory.
Soon, the august Foundress herself, Our Lady of Mercy, will come in person to receive the expression of the World’s gratitude for so many benefits.
