TWENTY- EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

4 204

In the year 1208, the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Dominic and encouraged him to pray the Angelic Psalter which consisted of 150 Hail Marys and 15 Our Fathers. This Psalter was said by those unable to read the 150 psalms.

St. Dominic used these prayers accompanied by meditations on the Incarnation, Redemptions and Eternal Life to combat the Albigensian heresy. This became the origins of the Rosary with its Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries. This prayer and meditation became an effective means of conversion of heart, spiritual strength and protection.

In 1571, the great success in the battle of Lepanto, was attributed to a united prayer of the Rosary. The greatly outnumbered Christian fleet defeated the invasion of the perilous Ottoman Empire. This victory occurred on October 7th and the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was established.

In 1917, October 13, Our Blessed Mother appeared to the 3 children at Fatima. She encouraged praying the Rosary daily for peace in the world and an end to the Great War.

The popes of the 20th century have encouraged the faithful to pray the Rosary daily. St. John Paul II added the Luminous mysteries which enrich our meditation on the life of Christ. He encouraged us to pray for peace in the world and for the family. The Rosary is centered on Christ. Mary accompanies us as we reflect and grow in our friendship with her Son, Jesus Christ.

October is known as the month of the Holy Rosary. Do you pray the Rosary? I offer you a spiritual challenge. Pray the Rosary every day! Allow the power of the Rosary to increase your Faith, your Hope and your Love.

Have a great week!

Fr. Keith

Parish Prayer for the month of October The Angelus

The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary: And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us

sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.

Hail Mary... And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ,

Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our

Lord. Amen.

OUR LADY OF MERCY PARISH October 13, 2019

5 204

Notas del Pastor En el año 1208, la Santísima Madre se le apareció a Santo Domingo y lo alentó a rezar el Salterio Angélico que consistía en 150 Avemarías y 15 Nuestros Padres. Este Salterio fue dicho por aquellos que no podían leer los 150 salmos.

Santo Domingo usó estas oraciones acompañadas de meditaciones sobre la Encarnación, Redenciones y Vida Eterna para combatir la herejía Albigense. Esto se convirtió en el origen del Rosario con sus misterios gozosos, dolorosos y gloriosos. Esta oración y meditación se convirtió en un medio eficaz de conversión de corazón, fortaleza espiritual y protección.

En 1571, el gran éxito en la batalla de Lepanto se atribuyó a una oración unida del Rosario. La flota cristiana no superaba en número a los opuestos, pero aun así invadieron el peligroso Imperio Otomano. Esta victoria ocurrió el 7 de octubre y se estableció la fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Rosario.

En 1917, el 13 de octubre, Nuestra Santísima Madre se apareció a los 3 niños en Fátima. Ella los Alentó a rezar el Rosario todos los días por la paz en el mundo y el fin de la Gran Guerra.

Los papas del siglo 20 han animado a los fieles a rezar el Rosario todos los días. San Juan Pablo II agregó los misterios luminosos que enriquecen nuestra meditación sobre la vida de los Cristo. Nos animó a orar por la paz en el mundo y por la familia. El rosario se centra en Cristo. María nos acompaña mientras reflexionamos y crecemos en nuestra amistad con su Hijo, Jesucristo.

Octubre es conocido como el mes del Santo Rosario. ¿Rezas el Rosario? Te ofrezco un desafío espiritual. ¡Rece el Rosario todos los días! Permita que el poder del Rosario aumente su fe, su esperanza y su amor.

¡Que tenga una buena semana!

P. Keith

Oración para el mes de octubre ANGELUS

El Ángel del Señor lo anunció a María: Y concibió por obra del Espíritu Santo

Dios te salve, María… Santa María…

He aquí la esclava del Señor.

Hágase en mí según tu palabra.

Dios te salve, María… Santa María…

El Verbo se hizo carne. Y vivió entre nosotros. Dios te salve, María…

Santa María… Rogad por nosotros,

Santa Madre de Dios. Para que seamos dignos

de alcanzar las promesas de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Amén. Derrama, te suplicamos, oh, Señor, tu gracia en

nuestros corazones; para que nosotros, a quienes la encarnación de Cristo, Tu Hijo, se dio a conocer por el

mensaje de un ángel, por Su Pasión y Cruz seamos llevados a la gloria de Su Resurrección, a través del

mismo Cristo Nuestro Señor. Amén.

Catherine of Siena: A Woman for our Times A one woman performance by

Adrian Dominican Sister Nancy Murray, O.P. Sunday October 20, 2019 in the Walson Center at 6 PM

1825 W Turner St. Allentown PA 18104 Admission is free.

A free will collection to benefit the Bishop Thompson Scholarship Fund for Saint John Vianney Regional School

will be taken. Nancy Murray:

“If you believe how much God loves you, you can change many things. Catherine’s voice is needed more than ever today. The Church is in a time of struggle. The flock has been scattered and people are confused and in doubt. God is purifying us in a way that calls us to new life.

An important part of religious life was the call to love God and all of God’s people. As I travel around, I see that people are hungry for a voice of truth, like Catherine’s,

something that makes their faith relevant. I feel that she has a voice that says, ‘Don’t give up on the Church. Believe in it, its struggles and pain, and be a part of

making a difference.’ ”
