<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Mass =</span></b> <span style="font-family: Arial;">The
Lord’s Supper or Mass is the sacred assembly or congregation of the
people of God gathering together, with a priest presiding, in order to
celebrate the memorial of the Lord. For this reason Christ’s promise
applies supremely to such a local gathering together of the Church:
“Where two or three come together in my name, there am I in their
midst.” (<i>Institutio Generalis</i>, 1969)</span></div>

An act of faith on the part of the faithful is needed to make the
reality signified by the sacrament present to the participants. Faith
and attainment of the mystery are inseparable. As a sacrament is
primarily an actuation of faith, then the priest’s action offering Our
Lord, which only requires only habitual faith, being a physical act, is
subordinate to the act requiring an attitude of faith, i.e. the offering
of the assembly. The sacraments are said to work <i>ex opere operato</i>
only based on the efficacious faith that accompanies them. They
represent deeds which bring about our salvation through a contact
provided by an efficacious faith. Their power is subordinated to their
nourishment of faith and actuation by it.</span></div>

We must go beyond the sign of faith to what is signified, i.e. Christ
Himself, Who is the definitive Word of God. Scripture in this way itself
becomes a sacrament. Hence both the “Liturgy of the Word” and the
Eucharistic Liturgy make Christ present, for our nourishment. The
Catechism even gives primacy to the former in saying that it determines
the meaning of the other sacramental symbols.</span></div>

Mass is a sacrifice in its own right. By the double consecration of the

memorial, but only insofar as it represents the death of Our Lord; it
does not make the mysteries of the life of Our Lord actually present.</span></div>

The Passover was three things: <b>a)</b> a memorial of the deed which saved them; <b>b)</b> the declaration and celebration of the present Covenant; <b>c)</b> a prophecy of the future fulfillment of God’s promises. Therefore, the Mass must do the same.<br /><br /><br /> </span></div>

focus is more on Christ’s mysteries than Christ Himself, Priest and
Victim. And, of these mysteries, His death certainly finds a place, but
foremost are His Resurrection and Ascension, since His central mission
is to reveal the unchanged love of the Father (in the new scheme of
Redemption) and the Resurrection and Ascension are accomplished by the
Father’s power.</span></div>

Our Lord used the rite of the old Passover when instituting the
Eucharist, so the Mass is primarily the memorial of the Lord, since only
the memorial aspect of this rite is described.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </span></div>

the Jewish memorial was able to make God present again and renew the
effects of His salvation, so too the Eucharist is not a simple
remembrance but makes present the deeds by which Christ wrought
salvation. While the old Passover simply made present to the memory of
the believers events of the past, the new Passover makes Our Lord’s
death and Resurrection present, as well as future mysteries yet to
happen. In short, it encompasses the whole work of salvation in a
dynamic and invisible unity.</span></div>

Mass is not a sacrifice in its own right, but rather the actual
sacrifice of the Cross brought from history into the present moment. The
sacrifice is in this re-presenting of Christ’s mysteries, not in an
exterior rite.<br /><br /> </span></div>

Eucharist conveys an objective memory by means of an action, but for
this action to constitute an objective one, it must be a social action,
one of the community</span> <span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11.5pt;">è</span> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt;">this communal action is a meal, the Jewish ritual meal of the Passover during which Our Lord instituted the Eucharist.</span></div>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>33 Reasons Why, In Good Conscience We Cannot Attend The New Mass</strong></em></span><br /><br /><br /><em><strong>1)
Because the new mass is not an unequivocal proffession of Catholic
Faith(which the traditional Mass is), it is ambiguous and Protestant.
Therefore since we pray as we believe it follows that we can not pray
with the new mass in Protestant fashion and still believe as Catholics!</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>2)
Because the new mass leads us to think that truth can be changed or
ignored without fidelity to that sacred deposit of doctrine to which the
Catholics Faith is bound forever.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>3)
Because the new mass represents "a striking departure from the Catholic
theology of the Mass as formulated in session XXII of the Council of
Trent" which, in fixing the "canons", provided an "insurmountable
barrier to any heresy against the integrity of the Mystery"</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>4)
Because "Recent reforms have amply demonstrated that fresh changes in
the liturgy could lead to nothing but complete bewilderment in the
faithful who already show signs of uneasiness and lessening of faith.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>5)
Because in less then 7 years after introduction of the new mass priests
in the world decreased from 413,438 to 243,307 almost 50%. (Holy See
Statistics)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>6) Because of pastoral reasons adduced to support such as grave break with tradition do not seem to us sufficent.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>7) Because the new mass does not manifest Faith in the Real Presence of our Lord the traditional Mass manifests it unmistakably.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>8)
Because the new mass confuses the Real Presence of Christ in the
Eucharist with His Mystical Presence among us. (proximating Protestant
doctrine)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>9) Because the new mass
blurrs what ought to be a sharp difference between the HEIRARCHIC
Priesthood and the common priesthood of the people. (as does
Protestanism)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>10) Because the new mass
favors the heritical theory that is the Faith of the people and not The
Words of the priest. Which makes Christ Presence in the Eucharist.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>11)
Because the new mass does away with the confiteor of the priest, makes
it collective with the people, thus promoting Luther's refusal to accept
the Catholic teachings that the priest is judge, witness and
intercessor with God.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>12) Because the
new mass gives us to understand that the people concelebrate with the
priest, which is against Catholic theology.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>13)
Because just as Luther did away with the Offertory since it very
clearly expressed the sacrificial, propitiatory Character of the Mass-so
also the new mass did away with it, reducing it to a simple preparation
of the gifts.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>14) Because the
narrative manner of consecration of the new mass infers that it is only a
memorial and not a true sacrifice. (Protestant Thesis)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>15)
Because by grave omissions, the new mass leads us to believe that it is
only a meal (Protestant doctrine) and not a sacrifice for the remission
of sins (Catholic Doctrine).</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>16)
Because the changes such as table instead of Altar, facing people
instead of Tabernacle, Communion in the hand etc, emphasize Protestant
doctrines(e.g. Mass is only a meal,priest only a president of the
assembly etc.).</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>17) Because we are
faced with a dilemna: either we becaome Protestanized by worshipping
with the new mass , or else we preserve our Catholic Faith by adhering
faithfully to the traditional Mass of All Time.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>18)
Because the new mass contains ambiguous subtly favoring heresy, which
is more dangersous then if it were clearly heretical since a half-heresy
half resembles the truth!</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>19) Because
the nature of the new mass is such as to facilitate profanations of the
Holy Eucharist, which occur with a frequency unheard of with the
traditional Mass.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>20) Because by
introducing optional variations, the new mass undermines the unity of
the liturgy, with each priest liable to deviate as he fancies under the
guise of creativity. Disorder inevitably results, accompanied by lack of
respect and by irreverence.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>21)
Because many good Catholic theologians, canonists and priests do not
accept the new mass and affrm that they are unable to celebrate it in
good conscience.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>22) Because along with
the new mass goes also a new catechism, a new morality, new prayers,
new ideas, new calandars-in a word, a New Church, a complete revolution
from the old. "The liturgical reform...do not be decieved, this is where
the revolution begins." (Msgr. Dwyer, Archbishop of Birmingham,
spokesman of the Episcopal Synod)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>23)
Because the intrinsic beauty of the traditional Mass attracts souls by
itself; whereas the new mass, lacking any attractivenes of it's own, has
to invent novelties and entertainments in order to appeal to the
people.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>24) Because the new mass
attempts to transform the Catholic Church into a new, ecumenical Church
embracing all ideologies and all religons-right and wrong, truth and
error- a goal long dreamt of by the enemies of the Catholic Church.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>25)
Because the Altar and Tabernacle are now separated, thus marking a
division between Christ in His priest-and -Sacrifice-on-the-Altar, from
Christ in His Real Presence in the tabernacle, "two things which of
their very nature, must remain together".(Pius XII)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>26)
Because the new mass, although appearing to conform to the dispositions
of Vatican Council II in reality opposes it's instructions, since the
Council declared it's desire to conserve and promote the Traditional
Rite.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>27) Because Pope Saint Pius the V
granted a perpetual indult, valid "for always" to celebrate the
traditional Mass freely, licitly, without scruple of conscience,
punishment, sentence or censure(Papal Bull"Quo Primum")</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>28)
Because Pope paul the VI, when promulgating the new mass, himself
declared, "The Rite...by itself is NOT a dogmatic definition...(
11-19-1969)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>29) Because in none of the
three new Eucharistic Prayers of the new mass, is there any
reference...to the state of suffering of those who have died, in none
the possibility of a particular Memento, thus undermining faith in the
redemptive nature of the Sacrifice.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>30)
Because we recognize the Holy Father's supreme authority in his
universal government of Holy Mother Church, BUT we know that even this
authority cannot impose upon us a practice which is so clearly against
the Faith: a mass that is equivicol and favoring heresy and therefore
disagreeable to God.</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>31) Because as
stated in Vatican Council I, the "Holy Spirit was not promised to the
succesors of Peter, that by His revelation they might make new doctrine,
but that by His assistance they might invioably keep and faithfully
expound the revelation or deposit of faith delivered through the
Apostles".</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>32) Because heresy, or
whatever clearly favors heresy, cannot be matter for obedience.
Obedience is at the service of Faith and not Faith at the service of
obedience! In this foregoing case then, "One must obey God before men".
(Acts of the Apostles 5,29)</strong></em><br /><br /><em><strong>33.)
Because: "...By this our decree, to be valid IN PERPETUITY, we determine
and order that NEVER shall anything be added to, omitted from, or
changed in this Missal..."</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Pope Saint Pius the V</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Quo Primum</strong></em><br /><em><strong>July 19th, 1570 </strong></em><br /><br /><br /><em><strong>Excerpt from the SSPX pamphlet "Why The Traditional Latin Mass? Why Not The New?</strong></em></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1917, July 13:</b> Our Lady of Fatima gives a secret in three parts to the three shepherd children.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1941</b>: Sister
Lucy reveals the first two parts of the Secret in her Memoirs, first on
August 31st in her Third Memoir and then again on December 8 in her
Fourth Memoir.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1943, October:</b>
The Bishop of Fatima gives Sister Lucy a formal, written order to write
down the Third Secret. Sister Lucy tries to obey immediately, but for
over two months is mysteriously unable to commit the Third Secret to
paper.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1944, January 2:</b>
Our Lady appears to Sister Lucy and bids her to write down the Third
Secret. Our Lady asks it to be revealed to the world not later than
1960. When later asked why the people had to wait for the Third Secret
to be revealed in 1960, Sister Lucy states: “Because the Blessed Virgin
wishes it so,” and “It [the Third Secret] will be clearer then.” The
Third Secret is later delivered in person by Sister Lucy to her
confessor bishop who in turn delivers it to the Bishop of Fatima, José
da Silva, on June 17.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1949, January 3:</b>
A photograph of Bishop da Silva posing in front of the 25-line text of
the Third Secret, which is enclosed in the bishop’s own outer envelope,
appears in <i>Life</i> magazine.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1952, September:</b>
Austrian Jesuit Father Joseph Schweigl, sent by Pope Pius XII to
interrogate Sister Lucy about the Third Secret, states that the Secret
is in two parts. He later confides to one of his colleagues: “I cannot
reveal anything of what I learned at Fatima concerning the Third Secret,
but I can say that it has two parts: <i>one concerns the Pope</i>. The other, logically — although I must say nothing — would have to be the continuation of the words: <i>In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved</i>”.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1957, March:</b> Bishop John Venancio holds up to a strong light the outer envelope of Bishop da Silva (photographed for <i>Life</i>
magazine in 1949) containing an inner envelope of Sister Lucy, inside
of which he sees the paper upon which is written the Third Secret. He
carefully notes that the Secret is <i>about 25 lines long and is written on a single sheet of paper</i> with <i>3/4 centimeter margins</i> on both sides. On April 16, the Third Secret is received in the Vatican and placed in a safe in the papal apartments.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1957, December 26:</b>
In an allusion to the contents of the Third Secret, Sister Lucy tells
Fr. Fuentes, Postulator of the Cause for Beatification of Jacinta and
Francisco Marto, of many nations disappearing from the face of the
earth, about the crisis in the priesthood, and of many souls going to
hell as a result of ignoring Our Lady of Fatima’s Message.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1958, October:</b> The well-known magazine <i>Paris-Match</i> publishes a photo of the wooden safe in Pope Pius XII’s apartment in which was kept the Third Secret of Fatima.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1959, August 17:</b>
Pope John XXIII reads the 25-line text of the Third Secret which was
taken from the papal apartment and then has his personal secretary,
Msgr. Loris Capovilla, write on the envelope, “I leave it to others to
comment or decide.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><br href="http://www.fatima.org/f4b/3rd_secret_timeline.pdf" /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1960, February 8:</b>
As the world anxiously awaits the full revelation of the Third Secret,
the Vatican issues an anonymous press release, stating that the Third
Secret would not be disclosed and “would probably remain, forever, under
absolute seal.” Pope John XXIII reads the 62-line text of the Third
Secret that same year.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1963, June 27:</b>
Pope Paul VI reads the text of the Third Secret kept in the papal
apartment after the Substitute Secretary of State telephones Msgr.
Capovilla, personal secretary to Pope John XXIII, to inquire as to where
to find it. Capovilla testifies to this fact in his certified note of
May 17, 1967. It is this text that is later identified by Cardinal
Ottaviani as being 25-lines long.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1965, March 27:</b>
Pope Paul VI reads the other text of the Third Secret — the one that is
62-lines long. Cardinal Bertone claims that Paul VI read the Third
Secret for the first time on this date.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1967, May 13:</b> Sister Lucy meets Pope Paul VI in Fatima and asks him to release the Third Secret, but he refuses.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1978, October 16:</b>
Pope John Paul II is elected Pope and reads a text of the Third Secret
within days of his election, according to a statement to Associated
Press in May of 2000 by his spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls. The
statement by Navarro-Valls is contradicted by Msgr. Bertone when he
claimed in June 2000 that the Pope first read the Third Secret on July
18, 1981.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1981, July 18:</b>
Pope John Paul II reads the other text of the Third Secret shortly
after the assassination attempt on his life in May. According to
Cardinal Bertone, the Pope read for the first time the 62-line text of
the Third Secret that is kept in the Holy Office archives.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1984, September 10:</b> Bishop Alberto Cosme do Amaral, the Bishop of Fatima, declares during a question and answer session in the <i>aula magna</i>
of the Technical University of Vienna, Austria: “Its [the Third
Secret’s] content concerns only our faith. To identify the Secret with
catastrophic announcements or with a nuclear holocaust is to deform the
meaning of the message. The loss of faith of a continent is worse than
the annihilation of a nation; and it is true that faith is continually
diminishing in Europe”.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1984, November 11:</b> <i>Jesus</i>
magazine publishes an interview with Cardinal Ratzinger. The interview
is entitled “Here is Why the Faith is in Crisis,” and is published with
the Cardinal’s explicit permission. Cardinal Ratzinger reveals that he
has read the Third Secret and that the Secret refers to “dangers
threatening the faith and the life of the Christian and therefore (the
life) of the world.” Cardinal Ratzinger says in the same interview that
the Secret also refers to “the importance of the <i>Novissimi</i> [the
Last Times]”, “the absolute importance of history”, and that “the things
contained in this ‘Third Secret’ correspond to what has been announced
in Scripture and has been said again and again in many other Marian
apparitions, first of all that of Fatima ...”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1995:</b> In a
personal communication to Professor Baumgartner in Salzburg, Austria,
Cardinal Mario Luigi Ciappi — the personal theologian of John Paul II
(and of the four popes before him) — reveals that: “In the Third Secret
it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the
Church will begin at the top.”</span></span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><br href="http://www.fatima.org/f4b/3rd_secret_timeline.pdf" /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>1998:</b> Howard Dee, former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican, said in an interview with <i>Inside the Vatican</i> magazine that “Bishop Ito [the local bishop of Akita, now deceased] was certain Akita was an extension of Fatima, and <i>Cardinal Ratzinger personally confirmed to me that these two messages, of Fatima and Akita, are essentially the same</i>.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;">At Akita on October
13, 1973, Our Lady said there would be a worldwide chastisement for
sins in which a great part of humanity would be killed and that those
who survive would envy the dead.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2000, June 26:</b>
At a press conference, Archbishop Bertone publishes the 62-line text
which he claims is the entire Third Secret and claims it refers to the
1981 assassination attempt of John Paul II. The 62-line text describes a
vision in which the Pope (a “Bishop dressed in White”) <i>is killed</i> by a band of soldiers. This text, containing <i>none</i> of the elements described by Cardinal Ratzinger in his 1984 interview in <i>Jesus</i> magazine, is obviously incomplete.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2001, May 16:</b>
Reflecting the growing skepticism of millions of Catholics, Mother
Angelica states on her live television show that she does not believe
the Vatican has revealed the entirety of the Third Secret. “Mother
Angelica Live” as a live program is taken off the air by December.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2001, October 25:</b> Cardinal Ratzinger admits to a <i>“destabilizing</i> [of] <i>the internal equilibrium of the Roman Curia”</i>
due to reports (following the September 11th terrorist attack on New
York and the invasion of Afghanistan) of a recent letter from Sister
Lucy to the Pope concerning the Third Secret and dangers to the world
and the person of the Pope.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2001, November 17:</b>
Archbishop Bertone (later to become Cardinal Bertone, Vatican Secretary
of State) travels from Rome to Coimbra to interview Sister Lucy about
the Third Secret and claims the interview went on for two hours, but the
communiqué published by Bertone contains <i>only 44 words</i> alleged
to be from the mouth of Sister Lucy concerning the matters of the Third
Secret and the Consecration of Russia controversies.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2005, February 13:</b> Sister Lucy dies at the age of 97 in her convent in Coimbra, Portugal.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2006, November 22:</b> Renowned Italian Catholic commentator and journalist Antonio Socci publishes his book, <i>The Fourth Secret of Fatima,</i>
which accuses Cardinal Bertone of covering up the complete Third
Secret. The book cites the testimony of Archbishop Loris F. Capovilla in
July 2006, to Catholic researcher Solideo Paolini, that there are two
different texts and two different envelopes pertaining to the Third
Secret, that one of the envelopes and its contents — the “Capovilla
envelope” — was kept in the papal apartment, not in the archives of the
former Holy Office where the text of the vision was lodged, and that
Paul VI read its contents on June 27, 1963, two years before the Bertone
“official account”, which claims that Pope Paul VI first read the text
of the Third Secret on March 27, 1965. The “Capovilla envelope” and text
have never been produced.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2007, May 10:</b> Attempting to discredit Socci, Cardinal Bertone publishes his own book, <i>The Last Visionary of Fatima</i>, written in the form of an interview by a Vatican affairs reporter,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><br href="http://www.fatima.org/f4b/3rd_secret_timeline.pdf" /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;">Giuseppe De Carli,
who poses no challenging questions but rather de facto avoids all of the
issues, including Msgr. Capovilla’s explosive testimony. In response,
on May 12 Socci proclaims and explains publicly (in his weekly column in
the Italian journal <i>Libero</i>) that his own book has been
vindicated by the Cardinal’s complete failure to answer it, which Socci
calls a disturbing development as it means that there is indeed an
ongoing cover-up on the part of the Vatican regarding the Third Secret.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2007, May 31:</b> Cardinal Bertone appears by remote live feed on the very popular Italian TV talk show <i>Porta a Porta</i>
to again respond to Socci’s book. During this telecast Bertone displays
not only the text of the vision but also two separate sealed envelopes
prepared by Sister Lucy, each bearing the explicit statement in Sister
Lucy’s own handwriting that “By express order of Our Lady, this envelope
can be opened in 1960 only by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon or the
Bishop of Leiria.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;">The two sealed
envelopes, and other revelations by Cardinal Bertone during the
telecast, further confirm the existence of two texts comprising the
Third Secret in its entirety. Further, the “express order of Our Lady”
noted on the envelopes flatly contradicts Cardinal Bertone’s earlier
repeated representations (only said <i>after</i> Sr. Lucy’s death in
2005) that Sister Lucy “confessed” to him in private, unrecorded
conversations that the Virgin has never given any such order.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2007, June 2:</b> Following the telecast, from which Socci has been excluded, Socci publishes his response in <i>Libero</i>.
He declares that Bertone has not only failed to “give even one answer”
to Socci’s book, but “On the contrary, he did more: He offered the proof
that I am right” and “that as a matter of fact the explosive part of
the ‘Third Secret of Fatima’ exists yet is well hidden….”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2007, September 21:</b>
Bertone stages a second television appearance for himself, this time on
the Telepace network, to officially launch his own book which had been
published in May and also to try yet again to discredit Socci’s book for
a third time. The press are invited to attend. Socci, as a journalist,
appears at the telecast location to question Cardinal Bertone. He acts
in a proper way but is forcibly removed from the premises by security
guards. During the telecast Bertone once again avoids any discussion of
the issues. Instead, he presents a heavily-edited videotape of an
interview of Archbishop Capovilla conducted by Giuseppe De Carli, a
partisan of Cardinal Bertone, in which the Archbishop not only fails to
deny the testimony he gave to Paolini (whose name is never mentioned)

reports that before the guards removed Socci from the location of the
telecast of September 21, he was able to play for the assembled
journalists an audiotape of Capovilla’s statements to Paolini during a
meeting on June 21, 2007. On the tape Capovilla is heard to state:
“Besides the four pages [of the vision of the bishop dressed in white]
there was also something else, an attachment, yes.” As the reporter from
<i>Il Giornale</i> concludes, Capovilla’s statement “would confirm the
thesis of the existence of a second sheet with the interpretation of the
Secret” — namely, the words of the Virgin following the “etc.”</span></span><br />

goes to press; 100,000 copies are printed. In this book, the author
gives the history of the Third Secret up to that time. He proves beyond
any reasonable doubt that there is a second text, still hidden by the
Vatican bureaucrats, which contains the words of Our Lady which follow
“In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved etc.” He
demonstrates his proof using the facts and details provided by both
Socci and Bertone. The Italian version of his book is sent to 12,000
Italian priests in June 2008. Cardinal Bertone is sent a copy of
Ferrara’s book by August 2008 and Bertone acknowledges receipt of the
book but refuses to answer the substance of any of Ferrara’s arguments.</span></span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2010, May 11:</b>
Pope Benedict XVI, on his pilgrimage to Portugal in May, stunned the
press and the Catholic world by saying that the Third Secret of Fatima
tells us that “not only from the outside come the attacks against the
Pope and the Church, but the sufferings of the Church come from right
inside the Church, from the sin that resides inside the Church... we see
this today really in a terrifying way: the greatest persecution against
the Church doesn’t come from its enemies outside, but starts from the
sins within the Church.”</span></span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;"><b>2010, May 13:</b>

Secret): “Whoever thinks that the prophetic mission of Fatima is

magazine. There the editor Robert Moynihan relates a recent
conversation with the late Archbishop Pietro Sambi, who died in July.
Archbishop Sambi was Papal Nuncio to the United States and thus a key
attaché of the Vatican Secretariat of State under Cardinal Bertone. The
report of Moynihan, in part, goes as follows:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #003300;">“We [Sambi and

said, ‘Excuse me.’ He got up, went out of the room, and came back with a
book. ‘Here,’ he said. ‘Do you know this book? You should read it.’ It
was Christopher Ferrara’s <i>The Secret Still Hidden</i>. ‘Wait,’ I
said. ‘You are the Pope’s representative in the US, and you are urging
me to read a book that questions what the Secretary of State wrote?’</span></span><br />

SCHULIEN, S.T.D.<br /> Censor liborium<br /> IMPRIMATOR:<br /> + ALBERTUS G.MEYER<br /> Archiepiscopus Milwauchiensis</small><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">OUR
LORD had suffered a terrible ordeal in His initial phase of trial in
the Garden of Olives. He had, some thirty-three years earlier, taken on
the burden of human nature, <strong>Now in this fateful garden, Christ
took on the awful burden of man’s sins, and He rightly looked to His
closest friends to share His burden in return, if only by compassion.</strong>
They failed Him. They slept. Oh how the words of the prophet were
fulfilled: “I looked for one that would grieve together with me, and
there was none; for one that would comfort me, and I found none” (Ps.
68:21).</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">Note
that our Lord goes back a second time to pray. This time He is even
more alone then before. He prays to His heavenly Father, <strong>and <span style="font-size: medium;">H</span>is heavenly Father turns a deaf ear to His petition.</strong> His Apostles are sleeping again, and yet he prays alone. <strong>He is now in a state of supreme desolation and yet He prays.</strong> He is in a state of complete dereliction but He prays on. <strong>Learn from this lesson to pray even under the most adverse circumstances.</strong></span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">Consider
the fact that Christ persevered in His prayer. Already He prayed to His
Father saying: “Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from
Me” (Mt. 26:30).</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">The
second prayer of our Lord was a repetition of the first, for He said:
“My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, Thy will be
done” (Mt.26:42).</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">The
third prayer was couched in the same words – a prayer more fervent,
more earnest then any uttered by any man who ever lived on this earth –
yet His Father, it seemed, did not listen to His petition. Christ did
not grow impatient, He calmly and resignedly adds: “Not My will but
Thine be done” (Lk. 22:42).</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">What a great lesson in this for all of us! <strong>If
the son of God must plead three times for the fulfillment of His
prayer, and does so without a trace of bitterness, why are we so
depressed when our prayers are not immediately answered?</strong> St.
Monica prayed for eighteen years for her son Augustine’s conversion, but
how richly her perseverance was rewarded. “We wait a whole year,” says
St. Francis de Sales, “before the seed we sow in the ground bears fruit;
and are we more impatient in regard to the fruits of our prayers?”</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;">There is great consolation for all of us in the refusal of the Father to hear the petition of His adorable son. <strong>God
the Father refused the most perfect, the most precious prayer ever
uttered on this earth – but he did so to prove His love for sinful man.</strong>
For the sake of sinful man He will not answer the prayer of His own
Son, because had God acted otherwise, we would have all been lost. See
the reason behind God’s refusal to answer our prayers – He always has
the greater good in view:</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; font-size: medium;"><strong>From now on, never complain if your prayers are unanswered.</strong> <strong>Just keep right on praying</strong>. Say your rosary today for the grace of perseverance.</span>Mara Handicraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15867398824212764878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608763632145371906.post-81184066936855795262014-05-23T17:34:00.001-07:002014-05-24T09:00:14.462-07:00How to Attend Mass- letter of St Padre Pio to one of his spiritual daughters<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 1.0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">

the following days: Feasts of the first or second class; on Sundays or
holydays of obligation; within the octaves of the Epiphany, Easter,
Pentecost, Corpus Christi; on Ash Wednesday; during Holy Week; on the

The Mass is said without <i>Gloria</i> or <i>Creed.</i><br />
If marriage takes place on any of the above Feasts, the Mass of the day is read; the <i>Collect,
Secret Prayers</i> and <i>Postcommunion</i> of this Nuptial Mass being added to the Collect, Secret Prayer, and
Postcommunion respectively of the Mass of the day; and the prayers for the bridegroom and bride after the Pater Noster,
and before the blessing, are inserted also.<br /> The Church insists that a marriage, to be valid, must
take place before the parish priest of one of the parties (or another priest by his leave) together with two
witnesses.<br /> The parties must be free from impediment, and are bound to declare an impediment, if
such exists. There are two classes of impediments: 1) Those which render the marriage null and void, and 2) those which
render the marriage sinful, but not invalid. These impediments are respectively: (1) Error about the substance of the
contract; solemn vows of chastity; consanguinity and affinity; public property; crime; disparity of cult, (i.e. with a
non-baptized person;) grave fear; a marriage bond still existing; defect of age; clandestinity; impotency; (2) simple
vows of chastity; mixed marriage (i.e. with a non-Catholic).</span></td>

<td colspan="5"><span style="font-size: large;"> <i><span style="color: red;">All or part of the
following exhortation may be used by the priest at the marriage rite.
If it is a mixed marriage and the non-Catholic party is unbaptized, the
references to the sacrament of matrimony and to the mystery of the union
of Christ and the Church should be omitted.</span></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Dear friends in Christ: As you know, you are about
to enter into a union which is most sacred and most serious, a union
which was established by God Himself. By it, He gave to man a share in
the greatest work of creation, the work of the continuation of the human
race. And in this way He sanctified human love and enabled man and
woman to help each other live as children of God, by sharing a common
life under His fatherly care.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Because God Himself is thus its author, marriage is of its very
nature a holy institution, requiring of those who enter into it a
complete and unreserved giving of self. <span style="color: red;">[</span>
But Christ our Lord added to the holiness of marriage an even deeper
meaning and a higher beauty. He referred to the love of marriage to
describe His own love for His Church, that is, for the people of God
whom He redeemed by His own blood. And so He gave to Christians a new
vision of what married life ought to be, a life of self-sacrificing love
like His own. It is for this reason that His apostle, St. Paul,
clearly states that marriage is now and for all time to be considered a
great mystery, intimately bound up with the supernatural union of Christ
and the Church, which union is also to be its pattern. <span style="color: red;">]</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This union then is most serious, because it will bind you together
for life in a relationship so close and so intimate that it will
profoundly influence your whole future. That future, with its hopes and
disappointments, its successes and its failures, its pleasures and its
pains, its joys and its sorrows, is hidden from your eyes. You know
that these elements are mingled in every life and are to be expected in
your own. And so, not knowing what is before you, you take each other
for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in
health, until death.</span><span style="font-size: large;">Truly, then, these words are most serious. It is a beautiful
tribute to your undoubted faith in each other, that, recognizing their
full import, you are nevertheless so willing and ready to pronounce
them. And because these words involve such solemn obligations, it is
most fitting that you rest the security of your wedded life upon the
great principle of self-sacrifice. And so you begin your married life
by the voluntary and complete surrender of your individual lives in the
interest of that deeper and wider life which you are to have in common.
Henceforth you belong entirely to each other; you will be one in mind,
one in heart, and one in affections. And whatever sacrifices you may
hereafter be required to make to preserve the common life, always make
them generously. Sacrifice is usually difficult and irksome. Only love
can make it easy; and perfect love can make it a joy. </span><span style="font-size: large;">We are willing
to give in proportion as we love. And when love is perfect, the
sacrifice is complete. God so loved the world that He gave His
only-begotten Son, and the Son so loved us that He gave Himself for our
salvation. "Greater love than this no one has, that one lay down his
life for his friends."</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> No greater blessing can come to your married life than pure conjugal
love, loyal and true to the end. May, then, this love with which you
join your hands and hearts today never fail, but grow deeper and
stronger as the years go on. And if true love and the unselfish spirit
of perfect sacrifice guide your every action, you can expect the
greatest measure of earthly happiness that may be alloted to man in this
vale of tears. The rest is in the hands of God. <span style="color: red;">[</span>
Nor will God be wanting to your needs; He will pledge you the life-long
support of His graces in the Holy Sacrament which you are now going to
receive. <span style="color: red;">]</span></span><br />

for the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ
is the head of the Church. He is the savior of His body. Therefore, as
the Church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their
husbands in all things. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved
the Church, and delivered Himself up for it: that He might sanctify it,
cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life; that He might
present it to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle, or
any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. So also
ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his
wife loveth himself:
for no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it;
as also Christ doth the Church: for we are members of His body, of His
flesh, and of His bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall be two in one
flesh. This is a great Sacrament, but I speak in Christ and in the
Church. Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love his wife
as himself, and let the wife fear her husband.</span></td>

didst make all things out of nothing: who, having set in order the
beginnings of the world, didst appoint Woman to be an inseparable
helpmeet to Man, made like unto God, so that Thou didst give to woman's
body its beginnings in man's flesh, thereby teaching that what it
pleased Thee to form from one substance, might never be lawfully
separated: O God, who, by so excellent a mystery hast consecrated the
union of man and wife, as to foreshadow in this nuptial bond the union
of Christ with His Church: O God, by whom Woman is joined to Man, and
the partnership, ordained from the beginning, is endowed with such
blessing that it alone was not withdrawn either by the punishment of
original sin, nor by the sentence of the flood: graciously look upon
this Thy handmaid, who, about to be joined in wedlock, seeks Thy defense
and protection. May it be to her a yoke of love and peace: faithful
and chaste, may she be wedded in Christ, and let her ever be the
imitator of holy women: let her be dear to her husband, like Rachel:
wise, like Rebecca: long-lived and faithful like Sara. Let not the
author of deceit work any of his evil deeds in her. May she continue,
clinging to the faith and to the commandments. Bound in one union, let
her shun all unlawful contact. Let her protect her weakness by the
strength of discipline; let her be grave in behavior, respected for
modesty, well-instructed in heavenly doctrine. Let her be fruitful in
offspring; be approved and innocent; and come to the repose of the
blessed and the kingdom of heaven. May they both see their children's
children to the third and fourth generation, and may they reach the old
age which they desire. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who

mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second
is like to this: Thou shalt love Thy neighbor as thyself. One these two
commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets. And the
Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying: What think
you of Christ, whose son is He? They say to Him: David's. He saith to
them: How then doth David , in spirit, call Him Lord, saying: The Lord
saith to My Lord: Sit on my right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy

the Pharisees on the sabbath day to eat bread, they watched Him. And
behold, there was a certain man before Him that had the dropsy: and
Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it
lawful to heal on the sabbath day? But they held their peace: but He
taking him, healed him, and sent him away. And answering them, He said:
Which of you whall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not
immediately draw him out on the sabbath day? And they could not answer
Him these things. And He spoke a parable also to them that were
invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to
them: When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first
place, lest perhaps one more honorable than thou be invited by him; and
he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place:
and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when thou
art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place: that when he who invited
thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou
have glory before them that sit at table with thee: because every one
that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbled himself
shall be exalted.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Brethren, Walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of
the flesh: for the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit
against the flesh; for these are contrary one to another: so that you do
not the things that you would. But if you are led by the spirit, you
are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest; which
are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, idolatry, witchcrafts,
enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,
envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I
foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things,
shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is
charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,
mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is
no law. And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh with the
vices and concupiscences.</span><br />

† Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>["You cannot serve God and mammon." "Therefore be
not solicitous for your life . . . nor for your body . . . For your
father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Seek ye
therefore first the Kingdom of God and His justice."]</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">At that time Jesus said to His disciples: No man can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will
sustain the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and
mammon. Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what
you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the
life more than the meat, and the body more than the raiment? Behold the
birds of the air; for they neither sow nor do they reap, nor gather
into barns, and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of much
more value than they? And which of you, by taking thought, can add to
his stature one cubit? And for raiment why are you solicitous?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they labor not, neither
do they spin; but I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory
was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so clothe the grass of the
field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more
you, O ye of little faith! Be not solicitous therefore saying: What
shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
for after all there things do the heathen seek. For your Father knoweth
that you have need of all these things. Seek ye therefore first the
kingdom of God, and His justice; and all these things shall be added
unto you.

<b>EPISTLE ¤ Galatians 3. 16-22<br />
Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Galatians.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>[The Apostle of the Gentiles shows that the Mosaic
law is not the law which gives holiness to souls, since, before the Law,
Abraham, father of the Hebrews, was sanctified by his faith in Jesus.
All Jews or pagans, therefore, who enter into the Chruch and put their
faith in the merits of the Passion of Christ will be saved.]</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Brethren, To Abraham were the promises made, and to his seed. He
saith not: "And to his seeds," as of many; but as of one: "And to thy
seed," which is Christ. Now this I say, that the testament which was
confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty
years, doth not disannul to make the promise of no effect. For if the
inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to
Abraham by promise. Why then was the law? It was set because of
transgressions until the seed should come, to whom He made the promise,
being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is
not of one: but God is one. Was the law then against the promises of
God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given, which could give
life, verily justice should have been by the law. But the Scripture
hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus
Christ might be given to them that believe.</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, as Jesus was going to Jerusalem, He passed through the
midst of Samaria and Galilee: and as he entered into a certain town,
there met Him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off, and lifted
up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. Whom when He
saw, He said: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass,
that, as they went, they were made clean. And one of them, when he was
that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God: and
he fell on his face before His feet, giving thanks: and this was a
Samaritan. And Jesus answering said: Were not ten made clean? And
where are the nine? There is no one found to return, and give glory to
God, but this stranger. And He said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy

outward practices. "The letter killeth, the spirit quickeneth."]</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Brethren, Such confidence we have through Christ towards God. Not
that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves:
but our sufficiency is from God. Who also hath made us fit ministers
of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit: for the
letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth. Now if the ministration of
death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious, so that the
children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for
the glory of his countenance; which is made void: how shall not the
ministration of the Spirit be rather in glory? For if the ministration
of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice
aboundeth in glory.</span><br />

† Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>[The parable of the good Samaritan shows us that
our neighbor is every man, known or unknown, friend or enemy, to whom we
are united by the bonds of Christian charity taught us by Jesus in
healing our wounds.]</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes that
see the things which you see. For I say to you, that many prophets and
kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen
them; and to hear the things you hear, and have not heard them. And
behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting Him, and saying: Master, what
must I do to possess eternal life? But He said to them: What is
written in the law? how readest thou? He answering, said: "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as
thyself." And He said to him: Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and
thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And
who is my neighbor? And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down
from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped
him, and having wounded him, went away, leaving him half dead. And it
chanced that a certain priest went down the same way, and seeing him,
passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and
saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came
near him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion, and going up to
him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and setting him upon
his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the
next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take
care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my
return, will repay thee. Which of these three, in thine opinion, was
neighbor to him that fell among robbers? But he said: He that showed
mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go and do thou in like manner.</span><br />

and after that by the eleven. Then was He seen by more than five
hundred brethren at once; of whom many remain until this present, but
some are fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all
the Apostles. And last of all He was seen by me, as by one born out of

Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them: as it is written "The

commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there
fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ,

murmur, as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
Now all these things happened to them in figure, and they are written

he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. Let
no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human: and God is

able; but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to

certain man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that
he had wasted his goods; and he called him, and said to him: How is it
that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for now
thou canst be steward no longer. And the steward said within himself:
What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship?
To dig I am not able: to beg I am ashamed. I know what I will do, that
when I shall be put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into
their houses. Therefore calling together every one of his lord's
debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? But he
said: A hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and
sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then he said to another: And how
much dost thou owe? Who said: A hundred quarters of wheat. He said to
him: Take thy bill, and write eighty. And the lord commended the unjust
steward, for as much as he had done wisely: for the children of this
world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. And I
say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when
you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.</span><br />

thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit, and the eveil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good
fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut
down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you
shall know them. Not everyone that saith to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father who
is in heaven, he shall enter the kingdom of heaven.</span><br />

with Jesus in the baptismal water. Christ atoned for our sins, by dying
on the Cross, and our old man (our evil nature) was crucified with Him.

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Brethren, All we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized into
His death. For we are buried together with Him by baptism unto death;
that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we
also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together
in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His
resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him,
that the body of sin may be destroyed, and that we may serve sin no
longer. For he that is dead is justified from sin. Now if we be dead
with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ.
Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more,
death shall no more have dominion over Him. For in that He died to sin,
He died once; but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. So do you
also reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God; in
Christ Jesus our Lord.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Brethren, I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to
be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us. For
the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the Sons
of God. For the creature was made the subject to vanity, not willingly,
but by reason of him that made it subject in hope; because the creature
also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into
the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that every
creature groaneth, and travaileth in pain, even till now; and not only
it, but outselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even as
we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the
sons of God, the redemption of our body; in Christ Jesus Our Lord.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">At that time, when the multitude pressed upon Jesus to hear the word
of God, He stood by the lake of Genesareth. And He saw two ships
standing by the lake; but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were
washing their nets; and going up into one of the ships that was Simon's,
He desired him to draw back a little from the land: and sitting He
taught the multitudes out of the ship. Now when He had ceased to speak,
He said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a
draught. And Simon, answering, said to Him: Master, we have labored
all the night, and have taken nothing, but at Thy word I will let down
the net. And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great
multitude of fishes; and their net broke: and they beckoned to their
partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help
them; and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were almost
sinking. Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus' knees,
saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was
wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes
which they had taken: and so were also James and John the sons of
Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: Fear not,
from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And having brought their ships
to land, leaving all things, they followed Him.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The Feast of the Sacred Heart was established in
order to stimulate the faithful to honor with more devotion and zeal,
under the symbol of the Sacred Heart, the love of Jesus Christ, which
induced Him not only to suffer and to die for the redemption of mankind,
but also to institute the Sacrament of His Body and Blood in
commemoration of His death.<br />
Though the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is of great
antiquity in the Church, yet it was reserved to the holy Margaret Mary
Alacoque, of the Order of the Visitation, to make this devotion public.
During the Octave of Corpus Christi, in the year 1690, our Blessed Lord
appeared to His devoted handmaid, and disclosing to her His Heart,
said: "Behold this Heart, which, notwithstanding the burning love for
man with which it is consumed and exhausted, meets with no other return
from the generality of Christians than sacrilege, contempt, indifference
and ingratitude." But what will it avail us to have listened to these
so just complaints of our Savior, if we are not moved with compassion,
and generously resolved to testify our sorrow for our past indifference
by honoring His Sacred Heart, and by repairing, as far as lies in our
power, the insults to which His ardent desire to dwell with the children
of men daily exposes Him in the august Sacrament of His love! If
gratitude to the God who suffered such torments for our salvation, does
not incline us to accept His gracious invitation, and to rank ourselves
among the number of His adorers, at least let the recollection of the
many spiritual advantages to be derived from devotion to the Sacred
Heart induce us to pray fervently and humbly, that He, who has Himself
declared that it was a last effort of His love for man that induced Him
to discover to them the treasures of His Heart, may infuse into our
souls the great gift of true compassion for His Most Sacred Heart.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Brethren: To me, the least of all the Saints, is given grace, to
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: and to
enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the
mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all
things: that the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the
principalities and powers in heavenly places through the Church,
according to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord:
in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of
Him. For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, that He
would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strenghened
by His Spirit with might unto the inward man, that Christ may dwell by
faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and grounded in charity, you
may be able to comprehend with all the Saints, what is the breadth and
length, and height and depth: to know also the charity of Christ which
surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fullness
of God.</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;">At that time: The Jews (because it was the Parasceve), that the
bodies might not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day (for that was a
great Sabbath day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and
that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came: and they
broke the legs of the first, and of the other that were crucified with
Him. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that He was
already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers,
with a spear opening His side, and immediately there came out blood and
water. And he that saw it, hath given testimony: and his testimony is
true. And he knoweth that he saith true, that you may believe. For
these things were done that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "You shall
not break a bone of Him." And again another Scripture saith: "They
shall look upon Him whom they pierced."</span><br />

excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and must needs go

excused. And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I

Then the master of the house being angry, said to his servant, Go out
quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the
poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame. And the servant
said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

you, that none of these men that were invited shall taste of my supper.</span><br />

was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye
and eat, this is My Body which shall be delivered for you; this do for
the commemoration of Me. In like manner also the chalice, after He had
supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in My Blood; this do
ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of Me. For as
often as you shall eat this bread and drink this chalice, you shall show
the death of the Lord until He come. Therefore whosoever shall eat
this bread, or drink of the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be
guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself;
and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that

<span style="font-size: large;">When the days of Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together
in one place; and suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a
mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were
sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire,
and it sat upon every one of them; and they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as
the Holy Ghost gave them to speak. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem
Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. And when this was
noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind,
because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. And they
were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these that
speak Galileans? And how have we heard every one our own tongue wherein
we were born? Parthians and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of
Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, and
Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia about Cyrene, and strangers of
Rome, Jews also, and Proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard
them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>[St. John tells us that Jesus had foretold to His

complete the training of the Apostles and to endow them with strength
and divine light.]</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At that time Jesus said to His disciples: If any one love Me, he will
keep My word, and My Father will love Him, and We will come to him and
will make Our abode in him: he that loveth me not, keepeth not My words.
And the word which you have heard is not Mine: but the Father's who
sent Me. These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you. But the
Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will
teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I
have said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not
as the wrold giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, nor let it be afraid. You have heard that I said to you: I go
away, and I come unto you. If you loved Me, you would indeed be glad,
because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. And now I
have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass
you may believe. I will not now speak many things with you. For the
prince of this world cometh, and in Me he hath not any thing. But that
the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father hath given
Me commandment so do I.</span><br />
