28TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 15TH, 2017

CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ON THIS 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF

OUR LADY’S APPARITIONS IN FATIMA

Dear Parishioners, Terrorism is destroying lives. Gen-der ideology is wreaking havoc. Scandals, unbelief, and division continue to rack the Church. Across the globe and in our own homes, problems abound. Some-times, watching the news or read-ing the headlines becomes an occa-sion for us to throw up our hands with the overwhelming feeling that the world is falling apart.

And yet, Our Lady told us in Fati-ma, “In the end, my Immacu-late Heart will triumph.” That is, Mary’s Heart, so completely given to Jesus, will be victorious over all evil. As we come to the close of this celebratory year of the 100th anniversary of Our La-dy’s apparitions in Fatima, let these words of our Heavenly Mother resound in our ears as the final word from God about what is happening in our times. Our Lady is the guiding star that God gives to us to navigate these difficult and treacherous times. She comes to us as a Moth-er to turn our gaze away from the crumbling walls around us and to fix them on her Son Jesus Christ who never fails and is always in control.

Let us consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This act of consecration is a surrendering of everything to the incomparable care and power of the Queen of Heaven. 0 Virgin Mary, most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and earth, in accordance with your wish made known at Fatima, I consecrate myself today to your Immac-ulate Heart. To you I entrust all that I have, all that I am. Reign over me, dearest Mother, that I may be yours in pros-perity, in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death. Most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over my mind and heart and preserve me from the deluge of impurity which you lamented so sorrowfully at Fatima. I want to be pure like you. I want to atone for the many crimes committed against Jesus and you. I want to call down upon this country and the whole world the peace of God in justice and charity. Mindful of this consecration, I now promise to strive to imi-tate you by the practice of the Christian virtues without re-gard for human respect. I resolve to receive Holy Commun-ion on the first Saturday of every month when possible, and to offer daily five decades of the Rosary, with all my sacrific-es in the spirit of penance and reparation. Amen.

There are problems in the world, in the Church, in our families and in our own lives that simply cannot be resolved by human means, no matter how excellent. “Mother, we cannot do this ourselves. You take care of it. You come and have your triumph here.” Our lady of Fatima… Pray for Us.

CONSAGRACIÓN AL CORAZÓN INMACULADO DE MARÍA EN ESTE CENTENARIO DE LAS APARICIONES DE NUESTRA

SEÑORA EN FÁTIMA ESTIMADOS FELIGRESES

Queridos Feligreses En esta hora trágica de la historia humana, a Vos, a vuestro Inmaculado Corazón, nos entregamos y nos consagramos, no sólo en unión con la San-ta Iglesia, cuerpo místico de vuestro Hijo Jesús, que sufre y sangra en tantas partes y de tantos modos atribulada, sino también con todo el Mun-do dilacerado por atroces discordias, abrasado en un incendio de odio, víctima de sus propias iniquidades. Que os conmuevan tantas ruinas materiales y morales, tantos dolores, tantas angustias de pa-dres y madres, de esposos, de hermanos, de ni-ños inocentes; tantas vidas cortadas en flor, tan-tos cuerpos despedazados en la horrenda carni-cería, tantas almas torturadas y agonizantes, tan-tas en peligro de perderse eternamente.

Dad la paz a los pueblos separados por el error o la discordia, especialmente a aquellos que os pro-fesan singular devoción y en los cuales no había casa donde no se hallase honrada vuestra venerada imagen (hoy quizá oculta y retirada para mejores tiempos), y haced que retornen al único redil de Cristo bajo el único verdadero Pastor. Obtened paz y libertad completa para la Iglesia Santa de Dios; contened el diluvio inundante del neopaganismo, fomentad en los fieles el amor a la pureza, la práctica de la vida cristiana y del celo apostólico, a fin de que aumente en méritos y en número el pueblo de los que sirven a Dios. Oh Madre nuestra y Reina del Mundo, también nos consa-gramos para siempre a Vos, a vuestro Inmaculado Cora-zón, para que vuestro amor y patrocinio aceleren el triun-fo del Reino de Dios, y todas las gentes, pacificadas entre sí y con Dios, os proclamen bienaventurada y entonen con Vos, de un extremo a Otro de la tierra, el eterno Magníficat de gloria, de amor, de reconocimiento al Cora-zón de Jesús, en sólo el cual pueden hallar la Verdad, la Vida y la paz. Nuestra Señora de Fátima,

Ruega por nosotros. Fr. Joseph M. Paradayil, SDB, Pastor

MES DE OCTUBRE / RESPETO A LA VIDA

Extractos de la carta de Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Presidente USCCB Comité de Acti-vidades Pro-Vida

Mis queridos amigos en Cristo: Una vez más, marcamos el mes de oc-tubre como Mes de Respeto por la Vida ... Con el tema, "No Tengas Miedo", … Crear una cultura de vida no es algo que se construye en un mes del año, o simplemente con iniciativa. Lo podemos lograr a través de nuestras ac-ciones cotidianas, la manera como vivimos y como nos tra-tamos unos a otros. ¿Cómo respondemos al cuidado medico de nuestros ancia-nos padres? ¿Saben cuánto los amamos y apreciamos? ¿Los hacemos sentir que NO son una carga para nosotros? Cuando estamos en dificultades, ¿pedimos apoyo? Cuando nos ofrecen una mano amiga, ¿la recibimos? Cuando nuestra amiga queda embarazada en circunstancias difíciles, ¿mostramos compasión y le damos la bienvenida a su bebe? Este Mes de Respeto a la Vida , caminemos unos con otros; ayudémonos mutuamente a abrazar el don de Dios de la vida humana. Independientemente de las tormentas o prue-bas que enfrentamos, no estamos solos. Él está con noso-tros: "Sepan que yo estoy con ustedes todos los días hasta el final de los tiempos”. (Mateo 28:20)
