Financial support will be available to Black-owned businesses through a new grant program created by Juvia's Place.
On August 14, the popular makeup brand founded by Chichi Eburu announced that the initiative will award six $50,000 grants in hopes of eradicating the challenges faced by Black entrepreneurs, including debt, which the brand says can kill a business before it can even get started.
And Black women entrepreneurs, who are starting businesses faster than any other demographic group, face even greater challenges.
Eburu, who established the company in 2014 with $2,000, said that as a Black-owned business owner, she understands firsthand the financial obstacles Black entrepreneurs face.
"I, like so many others, didn't have access to lending or a trust fund. My business was built with minimal financial resources, but I had a supportive community to lean on," said Eburu. "That community support was essential to my business growth. I found mentors and customers that believed in my product and helped to make my dream a reality." And she wants to make sure that she provides an opportunity for other Black entrepreneurs to grow their businesses.
The deadline to apply for the brand's Black-Owned Business Grant is August 31. For more information, visit juviasplace.com/pages/business-grant.

On the Channel Island of New Jersey, in the parish of St. Lawrence, Waterworks Valley is named after the number of water towers and pump stations found on it. The Valley is a dark, and misty place often giving off a dreary ambience due to its thick layer of trees and vegetation. Occasionally, there are sights and sounds given off by ghostly apparitions. Numerous accounts of people witnessing and running away after hearing it approach. They describe it as the 'Phantom Carriage'.
All the accounts seem to follow a similar theme. Commonly, the occurrences happen after dusk and start off by the ringing of wedding bells. Accompanying the bells, is a sound of horses pulling a carriage scurrying along the dirt road. Materializing out of the darkness, observers spot the cavalcade garbed in eighteenth century attire. The coach's passenger is witnessed to be a bride enveloped in her wedding dress, but as it passes by the witnesses view whats behind the veil. It is a no face, hollow-eyed skull of deathly remains.
The tale explains in the early eighteenth century a woman was set to be married at St Lawrence church but she was stood up at the altar. Extremely devastated, she committed suicide shortly after her disappointment, and the ghostly spirits are said to be embodiment of her timeless sorrow.
The locals are well aware of this tale, in fact, some even having their own encounters at Waterworks Valley. Many believe she rides through once a year taking place at midnight but there have been so many sightings, and detailed impressions, for all one knows, her anguish is unremitting.

Counselling or Psychotherapy?
What is the difference between psychotherapy and counselling? Counselling is usually a short to medium term process to help resolve specific problems. It may involve giving guidance or information, or the working through of immediate conflicts, but essentially it provides therapeutic support through times of stress and disruption.
Psychotherapy uses the therapeutic relationship to go deeper into the background of the client/patient, exploring the emotional-mental patterns underlying present concerns or troubles. Psychotherapists often work with clients for longer periods of time on deep psychological problems with the aim of fundamental change and insight.

China received a lot of backlash for its decision to scrap Bitcoin miners from the country. Miners who were forced to relocate swiftly managed to set up their equipment in a new environment and have since been on the journey of recovery.
The Bitcoin hash rate fell following the new development, causing mining firms in North America to see a surge in profit as mining competition dropped. While Bitcoiners were affected by the bear trend that the China FUD triggered, market players, didn't fail to note how much of a loss it would cause China's economy.
China is relentless in its mission to monitor Cryptocurrency scenes
However, the Chinese government seems to be unfazed by public opinion. Unbothered by the rate at which other countries are opening their arms to the Bitcoin community, the People's Bank of China has reiterated that it will not blink in its quest to regulate the cryptocurrency trading scenes.
On Saturday, the bank said that it would focus on crypto and other financial companies to make sure that their services are in line with regulatory guidelines.
China's brutal run with Bitcoin and other digital currencies
China has launched a war on digital currencies and mining since 2017. Since then, the country has been paying close attention to market activities. This year, the rise of Bitcoin's price and the popularity of altcoins propelled lawmakers to intensify their response to the market, causing the exit of miners.
Going forward, the Chinese Crypto market may see the implementation of strict policies imposed on traders and investors alike. Although in the past, we've seen how countries like Nigeria and India rebelled against their government's attempt at banning cryptocurrencies. With the adoption of digital currencies like Bitcoin hitting the rooftop, it is a given that market players in China will fight back.
Meanwhile, the "mistake" of China is profiting other countries like the United States, as Dallas-based crypto mining company Applied Blockchain threw in $32.5 million into the market.
"This industry is young and evolving rapidly, and as such it is important that a company can position itself to react quickly to capture opportunities like this one." said Wes Cummins, Applied Blockchain CEO, and chairman.
He further stressed the profitability of mining at this time, a perk that China may have lost forever, saying;
"The mining business is, right now, very profitable, but it can be extremely volatile, This hosting business lets us have locked-in long-term contracts with customers and then we provide a service and make a profit from that. It'll be much less volatile than our mining business."

Setting Up Wireless MIDI
Resonator includes help getting started with wireless MIDI.
The instructions below are provided here as well for your
convenience. Please note that the links below refer to
third-party programs not provided by ThingTone Software.
Resonator is a wireless MIDI controller that works by
sending messages over a WIFI network to a server program
running on another computer. This server, called DSMI, then
relays messages to a music workstation running on that
computer or to a connected MIDI synthesizer. In order to
make music with Resonator and WIFI you will need a freely
available DSMI server program and suitable MIDI software or
hardware to produce the instrument sounds you want to hear.
Download and run the DSMI Server for Mac
from Google
Windows: Download and run
DSMI Server for Windows
from Google
Code. Windows users will also need a virtual MIDI driver
such as LoopBe1
Download and run DSMI Server for Linux
from Google
Code. Linux users will also need a working ALSA
configuration. More information is available from
the ALSA Project.
With a DSMI server running, next start a digital audio
workstation (DAW) such as Reaper, Renoise, or GarageBand.
The MIDI source representing Resonator (via DSMI) is called
"DSMIDIWiFi-out" and should be enabled as a MIDI input in
the DAW program. Now you are ready to play, perform,
compose, and record using Resonator and any number of
professional audio products that support MIDI.

Aerial Yoga Hammock Natural, 6 m
An unique cotton blend hammock for aerial yoga or acrobatics. Perfect, soft feeling. Natural stretch.
Traditionally, aerial yoga fabrics are made entirely of synthetic materials such as nylon. The speciality of this Natural aerial yoga fabric is its material: a cotton blend with just a little bit of polyester fibres added.
The blend is perfect for anti-gravity yoga and acrobatics. Cotton brings softness to the fabric, making it feel comfortable against the skin. A small amount of polyester fibres, in turn, increases the flexibility and durability of the material. The fabric is not slippery, so it is easy to hold different positions and switch between them.
The hammock comes pre-knotted with 2 carabiners (22kN) for hanging. You can install the hammock to hang from either one or two attachment points. Installing the hammock is quick and easy, using a prefabricated mounting point on the ceiling (ceiling brackets sold separately)
The fabric is 2.06 m wide and can be stretched up to 2.60 m. The length of 6 meters offers enough adjustment space for yogis of different heights. When you need to be able to adjust the height of the air yoga fabric quickly and safely, for example in a studio, we recommend purchasing a Daisy Chain. The Daisy Chain has several separate loops that allow for a quick adjustment without opening the knots in the fabric.
Fabric maintenance:
- You can wash the fabric at a maximum of 40 degrees. We recommend using a delicate wash program
- Open the knots before washing
- Washing is a good opportunity for a fabric condition check
- Wash only one fabric at a time separately from the rest of the laundry
- Use a mild detergent
- No tumble drying as this may damage the fibres of the fabric, reducing its strength and safety
- Avoid exposing the fabric to UV rays as this can damage the fabric, reducing its strength and safety
- Allow the fabric to dry thoroughly before use.
Product details:
- The hammock can take up to 1200 kg of static load and 150 kg of dynamic load. This means that the hammock can be safely used by two people with a total weight of 150 kg
- Cotton-polyester blend hammock
- For aerial yoga, acrobatics, or circus
- Pleasant to touch, not slippery
- Comes with 2 carabiners (22 kN)
- Made in Europe
- Attested for durability in conformity with the standard:

Bhuvar Loka
Definition - What does Bhuvar Loka mean?
According to Hindu cosmology, the universe is divided into 'worlds' or realms known as Loka. Bhuvar Loka is the second main world, said to reside between the earthly, physical world (Bhu Loka) and the sun. It contains both the earth's atmosphere and the space that exists directly above it, and is home to celestial beings known as Siddhas.
Yogapedia explains Bhuvar Loka
The concept of Bhuvar Loka arose in Vedic literature, and it is described as an upper world, relative to lower worlds such as Naraka Loka (hell). Souls are believed to pass through these worlds, and Bhuvar Loka is the first place in which the energy body travels after the death of the physical body.
Otherwise known as 'plane of the atmosphere,' Bhuvar Loka extends only up to the planetary sphere, Swar Loka. It is the first of seven upper Loka, and is positioned above seven lower Loka.

- Day 7-10: By the seventh to tenth day, the scab may start to peel or exfoliate
- Day 10 - 2 weeks: During the 8th to 14th day, your eyebrows will have a lighter color. Don't be alarmed because this is another part of the healing stage.
- 3 - Weeks onward (might vary): Throughout the 3rd or Fourth week, the real pigment will become visible. Each person responds differently to the procedure. Some recover quicker while others recover a tad slower. Be patient in waiting for the results and follow the do's and dont's to avoid any issues.
Ordinary FAQs
Micro blading is a milder type of tattoo artistry that is done by implanting a color pigment under the skin using a handheld tool instead of a maker. Hair-like strokes are drawn on the eyebrow area to imitate its natural look. It is different from a tattoo since it's not as deep, and the outcomes are semi-permanent and lasts as much as three years.
Permanent makeup is a procedure that includes applying make-up through tattoo. They can be utilized for the eyelids, lips and eyebrows. Cosmetic tattooing, unlike micro blading, produces irreversible outcomes. Microblading, which is frequently done for the eyebrows, generates only semi-permanent brow results, which means that they will fade within a couple of years.
As they always state, pain is relative. Some individuals feel discomfort more than others. In general, however, bulk of women who went through microblading said that it seems like little scratches. There will be some discomfort, but the pain will be manageable. Likewise, topical numbing cream is applied on the location, which helps eliminate the discomfort.
We have expert eyebrow artists to carry out the treatment. They went through series of training to ensure that each client takes pleasure in a safe and hassle-free eyebrow tattoo session. On top of that, we only utilize FDA-approved tattooing dyes.
Though this procedure does not require bedrest, the brow will take about 1 week to obtain through the initial recovery stage, in which later on, the brow will soften in color by up to 40 to HALF. Till it totally heals by the third week or so, you should follow aftercare procedures.
Botox can be done but only after the area has actually totally recovered from the micro blading treatment. The physician needs to also be notified ahead of time so that Botox injections can be made without impacting your eyebrow position.
Laser treatments and chemical peels should be avoided a month prior to the procedure and a minimum of another month after the procedure. Having a laser treatment right after the microblading will lead to inflammation of the skin and other issues.
Tinting your brows prior to the semi permanent eyebrow tattoo treatment is not practical. You don't require this treatment since the tint will just appear darker after tattooing procedure.
Yes to both. But please let your Specialist know your initial true hair color and skin color (program images of your original hair/skin or a part of untanned skin), as this will help him/her encourage you correctly on what brow color to pick to completely match and match your hair color, and skin, especially after your tan fades.
You can have a synthetic tan but make sure to inform the Bellevue, WA eyebrow artist of your initial color. Understanding the genuine skin color will help the stylist choose the right color mix for your eyebrows.
ARE BROW IMPLANTS OKAY PRIOR TO RECEIVING MICROBLADING IN Bellevue, WA?
Do the brow implants beforehand. Micro blading will certainly do the remainder.
The Bellevue, WA brow stylist will form your brows. You don't need to book a separate appointment for the brow shaping service as it is included in our package. After a few months, you can ask your brow stylist to trim the hair according to the shape of your eyebrows.
Facials must also be avoided at least two weeks before and after the treatment. Similar to a Botox or chemical peel, it makes the skin thinner and for that reason more sensitive to other treatments. The brows need to have entirely healed prior to you can have another facial.

Exploring The Place Of Deep Love With Asian Escorts For The First Time!
If this is the first time you are hunting some provocative New York Asian escorts, it is perfectly normal to feel a little nervous and tensed. After all, you are about to meet someone for the first time in your life and benefit from a very deep girlfriend experience. Whether you are looking for a companion while exploring New York City, a partner for your business dinner or perhaps someone to keep you warm at night, the escorts at A1 Escorts in NYC are definitely very intimidating.
As if all these were not enough, most men feel naturally attracted by Asian ladies. It sounds like fulfilling your fantasies is only a few hours away. You are about to admire those lusty eyes, a petite body and some amazing curves. It sounds like the night of a lifetime. Fortunately, once you learn how to relax, losing the nervousness becomes piece of cake. Feel free to have a drink too.
Many NYC Asian escorts are only a phone call away. The secret to making a good impression stays in your ability to control yourself. Forget about calling a stranger. You are calling that beautiful lady who you have seen on a website. She wants to meet you, so act cool and imagine that you are talking to the beautiful girl who will fulfill your dreams. Keep in mind that everyone needs respect and this rule applies to escorts too. Do not treat them like an actual service, but like women. Groom yourself, clean the hotel room and wait patiently. A good attitude will give the escort a lot of confidence, but you will also be seen as a good client. With these ideas in mind, the lady of your dreams may even go a mile further.
It is very important to actually look at the Asian escorts online. You will find a small gallery for each escort. Find out more about her age and favorite things to do (not necessarily in bed). Learn what she is into and maybe you can find a perfect match. Be very calm when calling and slip a joke or two in. Do not act tough, but try to focus on creating a very friendly atmosphere instead. Keep in mind that escorts are professional, so they do take their work seriously. Therefore, it is their right to reject people who seem suspicious or fail to treat them correctly.
The same relaxing atmosphere must be maintained when you meet Asian escorts in NYC face to face as well. Avoid talking about fees, times and other relevant things first. Instead, go with her hobbies and preferences. Establish a friendly connection first. Talk straight to the point and mention your preferences. Are you looking for a solid girlfriend experience? Are you into role playing? How about a wild night? Any special preferences? Mention everything before beginning this venture, only to prevent unexpected situations, but also to ensure that your escort can prepare accordingly for your big night. Remember that politeness and kindness will work a very long way too.

In all my years of sewing, I'd never worked with a stretchable thread for a regular sewing machine, but it was recommended in a BurdaStyle sewing challenge I recently took: Sew-Along: Knit Maxi Dress with Meg Healy.
Yes, I used a stretchy thread before (it's called wooly nylon) but it can be used only in the upper and lower loopers of my serger for seams, rolled hems, and edges.
So, I bought this stretchable thread for a regular sewing machine called Eloflex (from Coats) right away and started to sew a dress from Burda Style magazine ( 04/2017) Meg Healy had recommended. Here is my review of this wonderful thread.
✅ Related tutorial: Stretch thread for sewing
What do I like about this Eloflex thread?
The first obvious plus is that the thread can be used in a regular sewing machine with just a regular straight stitch function. Special stitches (like a small zigzag) or a serger are not required to sew knits or stretchy woven fabric with elastane. Just wind the bobbin with Eloflex thread and use the thread both in the needle and the bobbin to sew stretchy fabric.
I tested it with a few different fabrics: woven cotton with elastane, woven natural silk with elastane, and knit 100% cotton. It works like a charm.
Stretch stitches of your sewing machine can be used with Eloflex also, by the way. It actually makes the seams even stronger and improves the recovery of the fabric after it was stretched.
Below there are images of fabrics I tried to sew with Eloflex thread.
Eloflex thread is quite strong and it expands with the fabric so seams on those fabrics I used don't pop out when stretched. I haven't had any breakage, despite giving it a sharp tug a few times, just to test it.
The thread has a nice sheen and the variety of colors is great.
It has quite a useful latch to hold the thread in place when in storage so it will not mix with other threads in my sewing box and make a mess.
The thread is very smooth. It has no unevenness or weak areas and is quite durable.
What I don't like about the Eloflex thread
I noticed also a few things that I don't like about this thread. Well, nothing is perfect, right? And if you know some cons that I discovered you will be just more careful in using the thread.
The thread didn't work well with very stretchy knits. Yes, it is strong and stretches quite well, but up to a point.
I made this maxi dress from Meg's tutorial and wore it twice and a few seams have the popped-out thread already.
When I was sewing the dress using a very stretchy viscose fabric with Eloflex thread my Janome Memory Craft 6600 (which is an extremely nice sewing machine) couldn't handle it properly. I suppose to use a ballpoint (or stretch, jersey) needle for sewing stretchy fabric. My machine completely refused to sew the Eloflex thread with ballpoint needles, and I tried 3 different kinds and brands. It is quite surprising because other people who have sewn with Eloflex thread used ballpoint or stretch needles.
✅ Related tutorial: The best sewing machine for advanced sewists
The thread kept fraying in my sewing machine and then missing stitches. Bunching happened and I needed to rethread. I never could use Eloflex thread with the ball point needles on my Janome. So I tried just regular needles 80/12 and 90/14 which handled it beautifully. And I didn't have any problems sewing except having small holes in my knits which is not really good.
✅ Related tutorial: Sewing thread types and uses
This Eloflex thread from Coats is a very nice innovation in sewing stretchy fabric. Use it where appropriate – and you will love it.
Note: Some of the links on this page are affiliate links. This means I will receive a commission if you order a product through one of my links. I only recommend products I believe in and use myself.
Where to buy Eloflex thread?
Joann Fabrics has it but when I went there to buy the thread they were out of stock. So I bought it online. I had a good experience buying from Amazon. They have the best selection, price, and customer service is pretty good. So you can buy Eloflex here online too.
Did you find this tutorial helpful? If so, save this pin (see below) on your sewing board so you can come to this tutorial later when you are ready to use the Eloflex thread, and follow me on Pinterest for more tips, tutorials, and inspiration!

Nearly one in six people worldwide don't have the physical documentation they need to access healthcare, housing or to vote. But what if our identities were completely digitized and secure? It'd be just one of the many ways that blockchain could enter our daily lives.
The hype for blockchain has simmered compared to past euphoria – but there's still a lot to look forward to. In our recent podcast, "What's next for blockchain?", moderator Mary-Catherine Lader spoke to Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock's blockchain lead, on the evolution of blockchain and cryptoassets and discusses what's next.
Lader: You spearhead our blockchain initiatives at BlackRock. Let's start with a level set: What is blockchain in one sentence?
Mitchnick: Blockchain at its core is a special type of database. Instead of relying on a central, trusted intermediary to authenticate transactions and keep records, you rely on cryptography, i.e., math. And what that enables is a single golden copy of record that can be shared across a network and is perpetually reconciled and, from a practical standpoint, is impossible to tamper with.

Lader: We haven't actually seen a lot of blockchain adoption at scale among financial institutions. Why do you think that is?
Mitchnick: It's not so much a story of people overestimating the usefulness of the technology as it is a story of people underestimating the difficulty to implement it. There are a number of reasons for that. One, decentralized governance is a new paradigm that doesn't have a lot of precedence. There isn't a single entity that controls how a network should run or owns the data or the technology behind the network. Secondly, the need to simultaneously line up many ecosystem participants – each with different processes and standards – and get them to adopt a new network at once is very difficult. Lastly, blockchain is still not that well-understood by a lot of large institutions, and the scale of disruption is broad. In many cases, you would need to take multiple, disparate legacy systems and replace them with a single blockchain-based model. That is going to take time.
Lader: What are some of the ways that blockchain could influence people's daily lives?
Mitchnick: I think this is one of the areas where the hype for blockchain got most overblown. In the peak of the euphoria, some people claimed that blockchain was going to one day do your laundry and wash your dishes, and that was just never the case. There are many good use cases and there are many not-good use cases that have been proposed. One of my favorites is in payments. Retail remittances, or when people send money abroad, is a $700 billion notional volume market. To send $200 on average costs 700 basis points, or 7%, today, which is an absolutely massive tax; and not only that, it's also slow and has high failure rates. Similarly, the corporate cross-border payment market is $20 trillion notionally. Fees are not as high there, but they're still high, and settlement is not as slow, but it's still slow. There is a massive opportunity for blockchain to enable real-time payments at a near-zero cost.
Lader: There was a lot of enthusiasm about cryptoassets in 2008 with the birth of Bitcoin, if you will, and again in 2015 and 2016. But now people roll their eyes, and it feels like blockchain is a tired buzzword. Where do you think we are in the hype cycle, and where do you think we are going?
Mitchnick: Even though blockchain and crypto are fundamentally distinct concepts that may ultimately have different endings, the blockchain hype cycle has very much tracked Bitcoin's cycles. We've had three of those in its ten-year history. The first was from inception through 2011, the second peaked in late-2013 and troughed in 2015, and the third peaked in December of 2017. In the last year and a half, this trough of disillusionment has set in. People have started to tire of the buzz and have started to question it. But as is typical in that classic Gartner hype cycle, the fundamentals – speed, privacy, security and scalability – are actually improving. That doesn't mean we're going to see widespread adoption, and a lot still needs to happen. But we're certainly starting to see meaningful progress.
Lader: So a lot to come in 2020 and beyond. Thank you, Robbie.

[Our Lady of the Rosary] Pompeii, Campania, Italy 1875
with Novena
Pompeii has experienced tragedies and dismal times, but in more recent years the tragedies have been transformed into triumphs of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the unhappy times have been replaced by countless pilgrims who are the joyful recipients of miracles and graces.
One of the first tragedies to visit Pompeii occurred in the year 79 A.D., when Mount Vesuvius erupted with a vengeance. The volcano destroyed the Roman city and concealed it for centuries beneath volcanic ash. The city that developed about a mile from these ruins was also subjected to tragedy when it was ravaged in 1659 by a widespread epidemic of malaria that killed most of the population.
An ancient church that had been built before the epidemic was eventually demolished in 1740, and a smaller one was built as a replacement. Of the once-thriving parish, only a handful of people remained ----- and these were served by a tired and elderly priest. Finally, in addition to the various superstitions that gripped the people, they were additionally troubled and weakened by bandits who terrorized and pillaged. Pompeii eventually became known as "a most dangerous resort of bold and infamous robbers."
But Our Lady never abandons her children, and the most unlikely places have been chosen by her to display the wonders she can perform for those who are devoted to her. The instrument she used for her conquest of this unhappy city was Bartolo Longo [1841-1926], who would at first appear to be a most unlikely choice.
Educated in Naples to be an attorney, Bartolo was introduced to Satanism during his college days. After "ordination" as a priest in the church of Satan, he spent many years in the exercise of his office by preaching, officiating at the rites, publicly ridiculing the Catholic Church and her priests, and speaking against all matters relating to the Catholic religion. Longo was brought to Satan by bad companions; a good friend, Vincente Pepe, brought him back to God. Vincent eventually succeeded in placing Bartolo in the care of a Dominican friar, Alberto Radente, who helped him in the final stages of withdrawal from the sect.
After returning to the
Sacraments, Bartolo decided
make reparation by joining a group of people who cared for the poor and
the sick. A member of this group was Countess di Fusco, a wealthy widow
who owned property near the ancient ruins. Commissioned by her to
the rents, Bartolo saw for himself the desolation of the city and the
poverty of the people.
I thought that perhaps as the priesthood of Christ is for eternity, so also the priesthood of Satan is for eternity. So, despite my repentance, I thought that I was still consecrated to Satan, and that I am still his slave and property as he awaits me in Hell. As I pondered over my condition, I experienced a deep sense of despair and almost committed suicide. Then I heard an echo in my ear of the voice of Friar Alberto repeating the words of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
"One who propagates my Rosary shall be saved." These words certainly brought an illumination to my soul. Falling to my knees, I exclaimed: "If your words are true that he who propagates your Rosary will be saved, I shall reach salvation because I shall not leave this earth without propagating your Rosary." Like an answer to my promise, the little bell of the parish church of Pompeii rang out, inviting the people to pray the Angelus. This incident was like a signature to my firm decision.
Without delay, Bartolo organized a parish mission and invited a group of priests to speak about devotion to the Holy Rosary. To conclude the mission, he planned to exhibit a painting of Our Lady. He found an appropriate picture in a Naples shop, but unfortunately, he could not afford to purchase it. He was later informed
that the picture was unsuitable, since Canon Law at that time required that a painting be executed in oils upon canvas or wood. The picture he had chosen was an oleograph on paper.
On his return home he shared his disappointment with Friar Alberto Radente, who told him of a painting that a nun named Mother Concetta had in her convent. Since she was willing to part with it, Friar Alberto encouraged Bartolo to ask for it. This painting had originally been discovered in a junk shop by Friar Alberto. He had purchased it for a mere eight carlins, or the equivalent of one dollar. The friar had given the portrait of Our Lady to Mother Concetta some time earlier.
When Bartolo saw this painting, he was extremely displeased by its pitiful condition and its historical and artistical flaws. He described the painting in this manner:
Not only was it worm-eaten, but the face of the Madonna was that of a coarse, rough country-woman . . . a piece of canvas was missing just above her head . . . her mantle was cracked. Nothing can be said of the hideousness of the other figures. St. Dominic looked like a street idiot. To Our Lady's left was St. Rose. This latter I had changed later into a St. Catherine of Siena . . . I hesitated whether to refuse the gift or to accept. I had promised a picture unconditionally for that evening. I took it.
Bartolo was enticed into accepting the picture by Mother Concetta. She encouraged him with the words: "Take it with you; you will see that the Blessed Mother will use this painting to work many miracles." The words proved to be prophetic.
Since the painting was too large for Bartolo to carry back with him, he wrapped it in a sheet and gave it to a man who routinely drove his wagon between Naples and Pompeii. Not knowing the subject of the painting, the man arrived with the portrait positioned atop a load of manure that he was to deliver to a nearby field. In this inauspicious manner the Queen of the Rosary arrived in Pompeii.
The painting arrived on November 13, 1875. Every year the faithful observe the anniversary of the painting's arrival with special prayers and observances.
Two months after its arrival, in January of 1876, the picture's first restoration was completed in time for the canonical foundation of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary which had been organized by Bartolo Longo. Another restoration took place in 1879 by Maldarelli, a Neapolitan artist, who thought at first that the task was hopeless. Still another restoration is said to have taken place in 1965 by artists at the Vatican.
As a fitting shrine for this painting, Bartolo arranged for the building of a magnificent church. Its construction was funded by the pennies of the poor and the substantial gifts of the rich.
While it was being built, three outstanding miracles took place. The first involved a twelve-year-old child, Clorinda Lucarelli, a victim of fierce attacks of epilepsy. Distraught relatives of the child made a promise to help in the building of the proposed church if the child recovered her health. Clorinda was cured on the day the picture was exposed for veneration. Two doctors certified on oath that the cure was nothing less than miraculous.
A young woman, Concetta Vasterilla, who was dying in agony, was also cured when similar promises were made. During the day when the cornerstone of the new church was laid, May 8, 1876, Fr. Anthony Varone, who had received the Last Sacraments and was dying of a gangrenous condition, was likewise healed. He celebrated Holy Mass the following morning and acknowledged his miraculous cure from the pulpit on the feast of the Holy Rosary.
A month after the cornerstone was laid, another miracle took place when Madame Giovannina Muta was cured. She had been in the last stages of consumption when she was persuaded to make certain promises to Our Lady of Pompeii. On June 8, while Madame Muta lay in bed, she saw in a vision the picture of Our Lady of Pompeii ----- although she had never seen the picture in actuality. But as she gazed, Our Lady seemed to cast her way a ribbon on which was written: "The Virgin of Pompeii grants your request, Giovannina Muta." When the vision faded, Madame Muta was completely cured. Other marvelous miracles and favors have taken place which are far too numerous to mention here.
While the Sanctuary was being constructed, Bartolo turned his interest to helping orphans, writing books about the history of the Rosary and composing novenas and a prayer manual for use at the Sanctuary. While engaged in these activities Bartolo found time to marry the widow, Countess Mariana di Fusco, on April 1, 1885.
Together the couple spent their time and money in helping the many orphans who were entrusted to their care. They likewise helped candidates to the priesthood and religious life, Bartolo being credited with paying for the education of about 45 seminarians.
The church was consecrated by Cardinal La Valletta, Papal Legate for Pope Leo Xlll, in May of 1891. In 1934, at the express command of Pope Pius XI, a great new basilica was begun. Completed in 1939, it was opened in the name of Pope Pius XII by Cardinal Magliones, Secretary of State to His Holiness. Pope St. Pius X had earlier expressed support for the Sanctuary and devotion to Our Lady of Pompeii.
The miraculous portrait of Our Lady of the Rosary is situated high atop the main altar of this artistically enriched sanctuary. In its golden frame, the colorful painting depicts the Blessed Mother seated upon a throne. On her knee is the Child Jesus, who is handing a Rosary to St. Dominic, while the Blessed Mother is handing a rosary to St. Catherine of Siena. Pope Leo XIll once stated, "God has made use of this image to grant those favors which have moved the whole world."
This once-discarded portrait, costing a mere dollar, which arrived in Pompeii under the humblest conditions, is now studded with diamonds and gems which were donated to Our Lady by her grateful clients.
It has been estimated that at least 10,000 pilgrims visit the sanctuary each day, but twice a year, on May 8 and the first Sunday of October, at least 100,000 pilgrims join in the solemn prayers which Bartolo Longo composed.
The former Satanist, the devout convert, respected lawyer and champion of the orphaned lived a long life of 85 years, dying on October 5, 1926. The tombs of Bartolo Longo and his wife are found in the crypt of the sanctuary.
The promise of the Blessed Mother that "One who propagates my Rosary shall be saved" was realized when Pope John Paul II affirmed the salvation of Bartolo Longo's soul at the ceremony of beatification which was conducted on October 26, 1980.
High atop the main altar of the basilica in Pompeii is found the miraculous painting that long ago had been purchased in a junk shop for the equivalent of one dollar.
MIRACLES AND FAVORS have taken place through the intercession of Our Lady of Pompeii, pictured above. The Blessed Mother, seated upon a throne, is depicted holding the Child Jesus on her knee. He hands a rosary to St. Dominic, and the Blessed Virgin places a rosary into the hand of St. Catherine of Siena. The portrait is embellished by diamonds and other gems donated by grateful followers of Our Lady.
V. O God, come unto my assistance;
1. Behold me at thy knees, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, who dost rejoice at being invoked as Queen of the Rosary in the Vale of Pompeii. With joy in my heart, and my mind filled with the most lively gratitude, I return to thee who art my most generous benefactor, my dearest Lady, the Queen of my heart, to thee who hast shown thyself my true Mother, the Mother who loves me exceedingly. I was filled with groanings and thou didst hear my cry; I was in affliction and thou didst comfort me; I was in the valley of the shadow of death and thou didst bring me peace. The sorrows and pains of death laid siege to my soul, and thou, dear Mother, from thy throne in Pompeii with one look of pity didst make me serene. Who bath ever turned to thee with confidence and hath not been heard ? If only the whole world knew thy great goodness, thy tender compassion for those who suffer, how all creation would have recourse to thee! Mayest thou be ever blessed, O Virgin and Queen of Pompeii, by me and by all others, both men and Angels, on earth and in Heaven.
Glory Be to the Father; Hail, Holy Queen.
2. I return thanks to God and to thee, O Mother of God, for the fresh blessings that have been showered upon me through thy pity and loving-kindness. What a fate would mine have been, hadst thou rejected my sighs and tears! Let the Angels in Paradise, the glorious choir of the Apostles, the noble army of the Martyrs, the holy bands of Virgins and Confessors give thee thanks in my behalf. Let the many souls of sinners, saved by thine intercession, who now enjoy in Heaven the vision of thine unfading loveliness, give thanks to thee in my behalf. I would that all creatures might love thee in union with me, and that the whole world might repeat the refrain of my hymns of thanksgiving. What can I render to thee, O Queen, rich in mercy and magnificence? What remains of life I dedicate to thee and to the spreading of thy devotion, O Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, through whose invocation the grace of the Lord hath visited me. I will spread abroad devotion to thy Rosary, I will tell all men of the mercies thou hast obtained for me; I will ever more proclaim thy great goodness toward me, so that other sinners, as unworthy as I, may turn to thee in all confidence.
Glory Be to the Father; Hail, Holy Queen.
3. By what name shall I invoke thee, thou white dove of peace? Under what title shall I call upon thee whom the holy Doctors have named the Mistress of creation, the gate of life, the temple of God, the palace of light, the glory of the heavens, the Saint of saints, the wonder of wonders, the paradise of the Most High God? Thou art the treasurer of divine graces, the omnipotent answer to prayer, nay, the very mercy of God, which is shown toward the unfortunate. But I know, too, that it is pleasing to thy heart to be invoked as Queen of the Rosary in the Vale of Pompeii. And as I hail thee by this title, I perceive the sweetness of thy mystic name, O rose of paradise, transplanted into this valley of tears, to sweeten our miseries who are banished children of Eve; red rose of charity, more fragrant than all the spices of Libanus, who by the perfume of thy heavenly sweetness dost draw the hearts of sinners to the Heart of God in this thy valley of Pompeii. Thou art the rose of eternal freshness, watered by the streams of water from Heaven; thou hast set thy roots in a land parched by a rain of fire; thou art a rose of spotless beauty , who in a place of desolation hast planted a garden of the delights of the Lord. May God be praised, who hath made thy name so wonderful! Bless, O ye peoples, bless the name of the Virgin of Pompeii, for all the earth is full of her loving-kindness.
Glory Be to the Father; Hail, Holy Queen.
4. In the midst of the tempests which have overwhelmed me, I have lifted up mine eyes to thee, thou new star of hope that hath risen in these latter days above the valley of ruin. From the depths of my bitterness I have lifted up my voice to thee, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompeii, and I have felt the power of that title so dear to thee. Hail, I shall ever cry, hail to thee, thou Mother of pity, fathomless ocean of grace, sea of goodness and compassion! Who shall be worthy to sing the new glories of thy Rosary, the fresh victories of thy chaplet? In this valley, where Satan devoured souls in olden times, thou hast prepared salvation for a world, that is tearing itself from the loving arms of Jesus in order to cast itself into the deadly embrace of Satan. Triumphantly dost thou trample underfoot the fragments of pagan temples, and upon the ruins of ancient idolatry thou hast established the throne of thine imperial sway. Thou hast changed the valley of death into a valley of resurrection and life; and in a land once dominated by thine enemy, thou hast built a city of refuge, where thou dost receive thy people in safety. Behold, thy children, scattered throughout the world, have erected thy throne there, as a witness to thy miracles, as a memorial of thy mercies. From that throne thou hast called me to be among the sons of thy predilection; upon poor me thy merciful glance hath rested. May thy works be praised for ever, O Blessed Lady, and praised be the marvels wrought by thee in this valley of desolation and death.
Glory Be to the Father; Hail, Holy Queen.
5; Let every tongue speak of thy glory, dear Lady, and let the harmonious accord of our praises sound from evening even to the morning. May all generations call thee blessed and may all the coasts of earth and all the mansions of Heaven re-echo the hymn of praise. Nay, I will call thee thrice blessed, in union with the Angels and Principalities; thrice blessed, with the angelical Powers, with the Virtues of heaven, with the supernal Dominations; most blessed will I proclaim thee with the Thrones, with the Cherubim and Seraphim. O Queen of salvation, cease not to turn thine eyes in pity upon this thy family, upon this nation, upon the Church universal. Above all, deny me not the greatest of graces; that is, let not my frailty ever separate me from thee. Grant that I may persevere even to the end in the love and faith wherewith my soul is on fire at this moment. Grant, also, that all of us, who come together in the beauty of thy sanctuary in Pompeii, may be of the number of the elect. O chaplet of the Rosary of my Mother , I press thee to my breast and I kiss thee in a spirit of profound reverence. Thou art the way that leads to the attainment of every virtue, the treasure of merits for paradise, the pledge of my predestination, the mighty chain that binds fast the enemy of our salvation, a source of peace to all who give thee due honor in this life, and a foretaste of victory to those who kiss thee at the hour of death. In that last hour, I shall look to thee, O Mother; thy coming will be the sign of my salvation, thy Rosary will open to me the gates of paradise. Amen.
Glory Be to the Father; Hail, Holy Queen.
V. Pray for us, O Queen of the most holy
Let us pray.
O God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, Who
hast taught us to come to Thee with confidence and to call Thee: Our
Who art in Heaven, ah! good Lord, to whom it belongeth to have mercy
to pardon, graciously hear us through the intercession of the
Virgin Mary, for we glory in the title of children of the Rosary;
our humble thanks for the gifts we have received from Thee; and do Thou
make the shrine which Thou hast set up in the sanctuary of Pompeii,
day more glorious and more lasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ
be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it
HAIL HOLY QUEEN [Salve, Regina]
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; hail our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Partial Indulgence.
