Dearly beloved in Christ,
Saint John Paul II, in one of his writings tells of an incident in
Poland, how the people would gather each Sunday to read the
prayers of the Mass. There was no priest available during the
Soviet occupation to say the Mass. These Catholics were
putting themselves at risk to pray together. We see in them a
great love for the Holy Mass.
We, as Catholics have a great love for the Holy Sacrifice.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church has many points about
the Eucharist, one of them tells us: “The sacrifice of Christ and
the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: ‘The
victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the
ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only
the manner of offering is different.’ "In this divine sacrifice
which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered
himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is
contained and is offered in an unbloody manner."
(CCC No. 1367).
The purposes of the Mass are to adore God, to thank him, to
pray for our sins and to ask him for spiritual and material
blessings. It is like dealing with a great friend; we thank them
for favors, ask their help and tell them we are sorry if we
offended them.
Saint John Paul II tells us: “The Eucharist is the summit of the
whole Christian life because the faithful bring to it all their
prayers and good works, their joys and sufferings. Our modest
offerings are then united to the perfect sacrifice of Christ, and
are thus completely sanctified and lifted up to God in an act of
perfect worship that brings the faithful into the divine
intimacy.” (Go in Peace, p. 129, John Paul II, Loyola Press).
St. Josemaría taught that the Holy Mass is the center and root
of our spiritual life. It is an action of the Trinity.
(cf. Christ is Passing By, No. 85-87).
From what the Mass is, it is easy to realize why the Church
teaches that there is a serious obligation to attend Mass on
Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, and “Those who
deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin”
(cf. CCC No 2181).
From the Mass we are sent forth to evangelize the world.
In Christ,
Rev. Victor Jagerstatter

My dear Altar Servers,
I rely on you for something far greater and nobler and more beautiful
and more true.
Our worship on earth reflects the worship in heaven. What we do here
at the holy sacrifice of the Mass is a kind of distant echo of what goes
on in heaven. There, the Lamb of God is offered in one timeless and
eternal sacrifice. There the saints and angels worship around the
throne of the Lamb. In that city there is no sun, moon, or stars, for the
Lamb Himself is the light of that city. This altar you see is a reflection
of the altar in heaven. The chalice is a sign of the eternal Precious
Blood of the Lamb. The host is, on earth, the sign of the Eternal Bread
of heaven. The priest is an icon of Christ the Lord — and who are
you? You represent and reflect on earth the heavenly host. That’s
right. I want you to represent the saints and angels. That’s why we
have children and teens serve the Mass if we can, because you
remind us adults of what the Lord Jesus said: “Unless you become
like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.” So just by
being child-like you remind us what we must be like to become like
the saints and angels.
Therefore, since you represent the heavenly host of saints and
angels, I want you to behave as such. Of course, I know that you are
not yet saints, and I know you are not angels. You fight with your
brothers and sisters. You disobey your parents. Nevertheless, you
have a role to play in the Divine Liturgy, because despite all that, you
are called to reflect something greater. You are called from what you
are not to become all that you shall be; and if you are struck with a
sense of awe at what I am expecting of you, think how I feel, for I am
a sinner just like you are, and I am called to represent Christ Himself
to the people.
When you process into church, remember that you are leading the
whole people of God into the presence of God. Our little procession
hearkens back to the procession of David and the priests up into the
holy city of Zion. The cross will be lifted high, and you will walk with a
solemn and stately posture, for you are leading all of us into the
presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Know where you are
going, and move there with the grace of a child and the dignity of a
prince.
As you sit in the sanctuary, remember that actions speak louder than
words. You may not have many tasks to do, but did you know that
they also serve who only stand and wait? Simply by your presence,
your reverence, your listening to the Word of God with an attentive
ear, you will help to lead the worship and encourage those who see
you. When you have a task to do, do it with simplicity and confidence.
Remember that what we do at Mass is the most important thing in
your life. Everything else comes after that. Seek first the kingdom of
God, and everything else will be added to you. At Mass you are
seeing that beauty, truth, and love are the three most important
treasures on earth, and they are three things you cannot buy.
Furthermore, while they are most precious, they are also
(from a human point of view) most worthless. What you are doing
when you serve at Mass is not a useful thing. There is no payment.
There is no reward — except the reward of knowing that your heart is
right with God, and that you have spent an hour on the threshold of
heaven.
And if you have learned how to do that, then throughout your life,
whatever else happens, you will be most richly blessed.
May God bless you and protect you all the days of your life.
In Christ,
Fr. Victor Jagerstatter
Saint John Paul II Monthly Lectures: Father Victor will be giving
hour-long classes and lectures on different topics that involves our
Catholic Faith every last Wednesday of the month at 7PM in the
parish hall. This month is on the 24th of June. The topic for this month
is TBA. Please join us and bring a friend, too if you can. See you
there! Thank you!
Are You Going On Vacation?
Many of our parish families are planning to get away for some
summer fun and relaxation in the next few months. We pray that your
vacation time will be safe and a source of many happy memories.
However, please don’t take your parish offering with you. Each
summer our parish office struggles to juggle the bills as Sunday
offerings decrease significantly. If you find that you tend to forget your
envelope more often during the less structured weeks of summer,
please consider our electronic giving program. Go to olgcid.org It’s
simple! It’s safe! And it keeps God at the top of your giving list even
when you are away!

Nuestros Mártires de Hoy
El Papa volvió a pedir a la comunidad internacional que “no asista
muda a este inaceptable crimen”. “Pidamos la ayuda tangible,
concreta, y la protección de nuestros hermanos y hermanas
perseguidos, exiliados, huidos, decapitados por el sólo hecho de
ser cristianos. Ellos son nuestros mártires de hoy, y son tantos,
son más numerosos que en el primer siglo”. Estas palabras las
pronunció durante el rezo del Regina Coeli desde el balcón de
San Pedro del Vaticano, el pasado Domingo de Resurrección. El
Papa volvió a recordar el drama de los cristianos perseguidos en
el mundo, a la vez, reclamó que “la comunidad internacional no
asista muda e inerte a este inaceptable crimen, que constituye
una preocupante deriva de los derechos humanos más
elementales”. “Que no mire hacia otra parte”, clamó el Papa.
Con anterioridad, Francisco quiso referirse al hecho de la
Resurrección, y a su vinculación con la construcción de un mundo
nuevo. “Galilea fue la periferia donde Jesús comenzó su
predicación, y donde partirá el Evangelio de la Resurrección, para
que sea anunciado a todos”, arrancó Bergoglio, quien recordó a
los miles de fieles presentes aquel día en San Pedro que “por el
Bautismo, todos somos resucitados, presentes y protagonistas de
la historia; por él hemos pasado de la muerte a la vida, de la
esclavitud del pecado a la libertad del amor”. Así, “la fe en la
resurrección de Jesús y la esperanza que nos ha dado es lo más
bello que los cristianos podemos y debemos ofrecer a nuestros
hermanos. Con la palabra, pero sobre todo con el testimonio de
nuestra vida”. “Anunciamos la resurrección de Cristo cuando su
luz refleja en todo momento nuestra existencia y podemos
compartirla con los otros; cuando sabemos sufrir con quien sufre
y llorar con quien llora; cuando caminamos junto al que está triste
y ha perdido la esperanza; cuando contamos nuestra experiencia
de fe con felicidad”, culminó Francisco.
Oración a San Miguel Arcángel
O San Miguel, Arcángel defiéndenos en la batalla.
Se nuestra protección contra el mal y las trampas del Diablo;
humildemente te rogamos que Dios los reprenda.
O Príncipe Celestial de la Santa Hostia,
que con la ayuda de Dios eches a Satanás al infierno
y a los espíritus que andan dispersos por el mundo para arruinar
las almas
Amen

THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL, para. 66-72 in the book: God
created “family” to reflect His Love in the world. The strength of
family life is the basis for how people adapt in society. If prayer
and faith is not taught to our children within the family circle, we
cannot expect the children to learn how to survive life’s trials once
they leave home. What children see and hear at home is what they
expect and bring out into the world and pass on to others. If there
is no responsibility or respect in the home, there will be no
responsibility or respect in any other area of their lives. Question:
How can I help change the culture where I live? What might God
be calling me to do to evangelize the culture, either individually or
with other Christians? How can I strengthen my own marriage and
support the marriages of others? Scripture: Gal 6:2, Eph 6:1-4.
