After the death of Father Chaminade in , the history of the Three O'Clock Prayer has to do primarily with the expressions used, and with its extension to the pupils of our schools.
Originally it seems that the spiritual rendezvous on Calvary used only the Ave Maria as a formula; the rest was a matter of recollection and personal prayer. I detest them all because you are good and sin displeases you.
I make a firm purpose not to repeat them, with the help of your grace and in order to satisfy your justice. Then one adds: "I thank you, O divine Jesus, that it has pleased you to give me the most holy Virgin for my Mother. Give me the grace to imitate her virtues. And you, O holy Virgin, my good Mother, take me under your special protection and obtain for me that of your beloved son Jesus.
This formula expresses what was indicated in the General Regulations of contemplation of the sacrifice of the Savior, and recollection that Jesus gave us his Mother and that we are her sons. Presider: "O my God, we transport ourselves in spirit to Mount Calvary to ask your pardon for our sins which are the cause of your death. We thank you, O divine Jesus, for having thought of us in that solemn moment and for having given us as sons to your own Mother.
Holy Virgin, show yourself our Mother by taking us under your Maternal protection. And you, Saint John, be our patron and our Model by obtaining for us the grace of imitating your filial piety toward Mary, our Mother. Why was the formula changed? Simler himself gave the explanation in the Circular in which he presented and commented the new formulary : "In this new edition the so-called Three O'Clock Prayer has been shortened so that it is scarcely longer than some ejaculatory prayers.
For this reason it will be easier to recite it without notable interruption of one's work. Some religious had expressed regret that there had been no prayer to the apostle John in the Formulary.
We have responded to their concern, and without doubt to the intimate desire of all, by recalling, together with the names of Jesus and Mary, that of Saint John, the well-beloved disciple who followed his Master and remained with him at the Cross, the most outstanding among the children of Mary, the apostle of the Heart of Jesus, of the Holy Eucharist, of the Passion and of charity and, in all these respects, our patron and our model.
Let it suffice to add that the ringing of the bell is integral to this devotion Const. From this time on, the exact hour was no longer strictly observed. The prayer was said by the Presider P and the Community C responded. Soon thereafter the formula of was amended to give our present text. In we celebrated its centenary. This historical overview would be incomplete did we not also mention the efforts since to associate our pupils with this devotion so as to spread it beyond our own communities.
It seems this prescription was not fully observed. A handwritten note inserted into the text of the Constitutions of the Society of Mary with a view to a further revision of the document proposed: "It would be good to establish this custom even among the pupils. At the beginning of the twentieth century this concern was taken up again by the General Chapter of ; it agreed that the Three O'Clock Prayer should be recited in all the classes where the practice was possible.
Then the Chapter of returned to the subject, renewing the recommendation of and suggesting that the Provincial Administrations have the Three O'Clock Prayer printed on the reverse of a holy card to be distributed in the classrooms and in other environments open to our influence. So it was that the Three O'Clock Prayer was available to all who wished to pray it. It was in the public domain, available to all, whereas originally, with the Founder, three o'clock had been the hour of spiritual rendezvous for persons dedicated by a very special consecration.
Such is the role of history; it has made common and reduced to a mere formula of prayer what had [originally] been a special time of renewal and communion with Christ on the Cross, with Mary and with John who were so close to the Savior in that hour of salvation.
A certain movement of return to the origins can be found in the text of the Constitutions of They put aside the old formula and present the Three O'Clock Prayer as "the spiritual reunion of all the religious of the Society of Mary" art. As for the text of , there is only a simple mention of "the Three O'Clock Prayer, spiritual reunion of all Marianists" 4.
In these times of renewal and of respect for history a double proposal might be made to all Marianists: Brothers, Sisters, laity. First of all, let us give back to the "rendezvous" of three o'clock its meaning of communion both with Mary, so closely united to Jesus our Savior on the Cross, and among all of us who, together, have pledged ourselves in a very special way to "assist" Mary in the maternal mission confided to her by her Son.
In practice such a procedure implies a moment of silent recollection to reanimate fervor and to unite ourselves with all other Marianists around the world.
Secondly, let us express in a renewed formula the richness of this practice, profiting from recent studies concerning the mystery of Calvary. From these perspectives the community of the Madeleine in Bordeaux offers the following text.
Lord Jesus, We gather in spirit at the foot of the Cross with your Mother and the disciple whom you loved. We ask your pardon for our sins which are the cause of your death. We thank you for remembering us in that hour of salvation and for having given us Mary as our Mother.
John, obtain for us the grace of taking Mary into our lives, as you did, and of assisting her in her mission. Mary is given by our Savior, "behold your Mother"; like John we receive her as a gift from God, our gift from God. O above all, we have committed ourselves to this last effect of filial love: assistance, benevolent action. May it continue to be such, for everything is for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity.
Pleased to be able to share with all the members of the Marianist Family the results of this research and of the work of our [Madeleine, Bordeaux] community, I hope that, in our daily living, this spiritual rendezvous on Calvary may be, or may become again, a time when all Marianists, religious and lay, are invited to "renew with fervor their devotedness to Mary" to draw from it, in the midst of each day and by a loving glance at our Redeemer Christ, additional generosity to render better service to the Church, Maria duce.
