Intentions that had been assigned for Sunday prior to the suspension have been rescheduled. Have you offered a Mass for your personal intentions or for the repose of the soul of a loved-one? The Mass is the propitiatory Sacrifice of Our Lord, and therefore has the power to atone for sins.

From a sermon by Saint Maximus of Turin, bishop Christ is the day Christ is risen! He has burst open the gates of hell and let the dead go free; he has renewed the earth through the members of his Church now born again in baptism, and has made it blossom afresh with men brought back to life. His Holy Spirit has unlocked the doors of heaven, which stand wide open to receive those who rise up from the earth. Because of Christ’s resurrection the thief ascends to paradise, the bodies of the blessed enter the holy city, and the dead are restored to the company of the living. There is an upward movement in the whole of creation, each element raising itself to something higher. We see hell restoring its victims to the up-per regions, earth sending its buried dead to heaven, and heaven presenting the new arrivals to the Lord. In one and the same movement, our Saviour’s passion raises men from the depths, lifts them up from the earth, and sets them in the heights. Christ is risen. His rising brings life to the dead, forgiveness to sinners, and glory to the saints. And so David the prophet summons all creation to join in celebrating the Easter festival: Rejoice and be glad, he cries, on this day which the Lord has made. ….(continued on page 5)

preface for easter VERE dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hac potíssimum die gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mor-tem nostram moriéndo destrúxit, et vitam resurgéndo repa-rávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus, cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus, hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes

It is truly meet and just, right and availing unto salvation, that at all times, but more especially on this day we should extol Thy glory, O Lord, when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the true Lamb that hath taken away the sins of the world. Who by dying hath overcome our death, and by rising again hath restored our life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the heavenly hosts, we sing a hymn to Thy glory, saying without ceasing:

communion John 16. 8 CUM vénerit Paráclitus Spíritus veritátis, ille árguet mundum de peccáto, et de justítia, et de judício, allelúia, allelúia.

When the Paraclete, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will convince the world of sin, and of justice and of judgment, alleluia, alleluia.

postcommunion ADÉSTO nobis, Dómine Deus noster: ut per hæc, quæ fidé-liter súmpsimus, et purgémur a vítiis et a perículis ómnibus eruámur. Per Dóminum nostrum.

Assist us, O Lord our God, that by these gifts which we have received in faith, we may be purified from vice and delivered from all dangers. Through our Lord.

MESSAGE FROM FR. GLENN NAGUIT May is the month when the children of the Parish in both forms of the Roman Rite receive their First Holy Communion. Sadly, because of the events around us, they have to wait. Please pray for these children, as they have been preparing to receive Our Lord. I would like to acknowledge their teachers who have accompanied them. Many thanks to Erica Raeder and Rosemary Gutierrez and Canon Wiener. * I pray every day for the well-being and health of all our Parishioners. Let us continue to pray for each other. We continue to pray for those who are sick. We remember also those who have died. May the Lord grant them eternal rest. We must not forget to pray for our Nation: that after this has passed, we may all resume the lives that for several weeks now have been put on hold. * I would like to thank all who have stepped up by continuing to donate to the Parish: those who are continuing to mail in their donations, those who dropped their donations into the donation box/basket in the Church, and those who have donated through WeShare or Paypal. I know these are anxious times for many financially, so I am deeply grateful to those who remember the Parish. The Diocese has created an online giving por-tal at https://www.oakdiocese.org/parish-support You can use this portal to donate not only to St. Mar-garet Mary, but also to other parishes in the Diocese. 100% of your donations through the portal go to the parish. Thank you. * During this month of May, the month dedicat-ed to Our Blessed Mother, pray especially that she continue to watch over each one of us and to inter-cede for us. Our Lady, Health of the Sick, pray for us.

Leisure and Free Time Educational opportunities offered by free time to guide children’s personalities have already been discussed in a previous article. Games, excursions and sports are not only part and parcel of young peo-ple’s lives, but through them parents can come to know their children better and instill in them a desire to learn and to give of themselves to others. These desires find an outlet in a variety of activities that help form good habits, the human virtues. Thus free time no longer becomes “time for trivial pastimes” and instead becomes quality time, creative time—precious moments for children to take up and inter-nalize their own freedom. Educating children in the good use of leisure time involves suggesting to them activities that they find attractive and that respect their way of being. To the extent that a family shares happy moments to-gether, good foundations are laid for preventing harmful pastimes in the future. Joyful periods spent with parents in early childhood, when children expe-rience the joy of giving and receiving, of being gener-ous with others, will never be forgotten, and will help protect them when they confront the false allurements that try to lead them away from God. Parents should be careful not to give the im-pression that vacations and free time are simply op-portunities to escape or to be entertained. This doesn’t mean transmitting to children a vision of free time as “only doing useful things,” in the sense that it is useful to study some subject, or to learn a lan-guage, or to take swimming lessons or piano classes (activities that basically do not differ much from the kind of instruction provided by many schools). Ra-ther it is a question of teaching them to use these pe-riods in a balanced way. In this sense, leisure pro-vides situations favorable to fostering unity of life. It is a matter of fostering strong personalities in chil-dren, capable of managing their own freedom and living their faith consistently. A great enemy in this whole area is “killing time,” because “when a Christian kills time on this earth, he is putting himself in danger of ‘killing Heaven’ for himself.” Such is the approach of some-one who “through selfishness backs out of things and hides away and doesn’t care” about others, seeking oneself in a disordered way, without making room for God or other people. Teaching children to use their free time well calls for commitment from parents. They are always, even unwittingly, the most influen-tial models in their children’s education, and as edu-cators they cannot afford to give the impression that they are bored, or that they rest by doing nothing. (J.M. Martin and M. Diez)

From a sermon by Saint Maximus of Turin, bishop (from page 2)...The light of Christ is an endless day that knows no night. Christ is this day, says the Apos-tle; such is the meaning of his words: Night is almost over; day is at hand. He tells us that night is almost over, not that it is about to fall. By this we are meant to understand that the coming of Christ’s light puts Satan’s darkness to flight, leaving no place for any shadow of sin. His everlasting radiance dispels the dark clouds of the past and checks the hidden growth of vice. The Son is that day to whom the day, which is the Father, communicates the mystery of his divinity. He is the day who says through the mouth of Solo-mon: I have caused an unfailing light to rise in heav-en. And as in heaven no night can follow day, so no sin can overshadow the justice of Christ. The celestial day is perpetually bright and shining with brilliant light; clouds can never darken its skies. In the same way, the light of Christ is eternally glowing with lumi-nous radiance and can never be extinguished by the darkness of sin. This is why John the evangelist says: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never been able to overpower it.

INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST DIOCESAN APPROVED TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS APOSTOLATE

FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MOTU PROPRIO, SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM IN THE DIOCESE OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

introit Psalm 97. 1,2 CANTATE Dómino cánticum novum, allelúia: quia mirabília fecit Dóminus, allelúia: ante conspéctum géntium revelávit justítiam suam, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. Ps. 97. 1. Salvábit sibi déxtera ejus: et bráchium sanctum ejus. V. Glória Patri.

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle, alleluia, for the Lord hath done wonder-ful things, alleluia: He hath revealed His justice in the sight of the Gentiles,

alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Ps. His right hand, and His holy arm, hath gotten Him salvation. V. Glory be to the Father.

collect DEUS, qui fidélium mentes uníus éfficis voluntátis, da pópulis tuis id amáre quod prǽcipis, id desideráre quod promíttis: ut inter mundánas varietátes ibi nostra fixa sint corda, ubi vera sunt gáudia. Per Dóminum nostrum.

God, who makest the minds of the faithful to be of one will, grant to Thy people to love that which Thou commandest and desire that which Thou dost promise; that so, among the changing things of this world, our hearts may be set where true joys are to be found. Through our Lord.

epistle James 1, 17-21 CARÍSSIMI: Omne datum óptimum et omne donum perféctum desúr-sum est, descéndens a Patre lúminum, apud quem non est transmutátio, nec vicissitúdinis obumbrátio. Voluntárie enim génuit nos verbo veritátis, ut simus inítium áliquod crea-túræ ejus. Scitis, fratres mei dilectíssimi. Sit autem omnis homo velox ad audiéndum: tardus autem ad loquéndum, et tardus ad iram. Ira enim viri justítiam Dei non operátur. Prop-ter quod abjiciéntes omnem immundítiam et abundántiam malítiæ, in mansuetúdine suscípite ín-situm verbum, quod potest salváre ánimas vestras

Dearly beloved, every best gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change nor shadow of alteration. For of His own will hath He begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of His creature. You know, my dearest breth-ren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger. For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God. Wherefore, casting away all uncleanness and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

paschal alleluia Psalm 117. 16; Romans 6. 9 ALLELÚIA, allelúia. V. Déxtera Dómini fecit virtútem: déxtera Dómini exaltávit me.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength, the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me.

ALLELÚIA. V. Christus resúrgens ex mórtuis, jam non móritur: mors illi ultra non dominábitur. Allelúia.

Alleluia. V. Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more: death shall no more have dominion over Him. Alleluia.

gospel John 16. 5-14 IN illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Vado ad eum, qui misit me: et nemo ex vobis intérrogat me: Quo vadis? Sed quia hæc locútus sum vobis, tristítia implévit cor vestrum. Sed ego veritátem dico vobis: éxpedit vobis ut ego vadam: si enim non abíero, Paráclitus non véniet ad vos: si autem abíero, mittam eum advos. Et cum vénerit ille, árguet mundum de peccáto, et de justítia et de judício. De peccáto quidem, quia non cre-didérunt in me: de justítia vero, quia ad Patrem vado, et jam non vidébitis me: de judício autem, quia princeps hujus mundi jam judicátus est. Adhuc multa hábeo vobis dícere: sed non potéstis portáre modo. Cum autem vénerit ille Spíritus veri-tátis, docébit vos omnem veritátem. Non enim loquétur a semetípso: sed quæcúmque áudiet, loquétur, et quæ ventúra sunt, annuntiábit vobis. Ille me clarificábit: quia de meo ac-cípiet et annuntiábit vobis.

At that time Jesus said to His disciples: I go to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me: Whither goest Thou? But be-cause I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. But I tell you the truth: it is ex-pedient to you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go I will send Him to you. And when He is come, He will convince the world of sin, and of justice and of judgment. Of sin, because they be-lieved not in Me; and of justice, because I go to the Father, and you shall see Me no longer; and of judgment, because the prince of this world is already judged. I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will teach you all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself: but what things soever He shall hear He shall speak, and the things that are to come He shall show you. He shall glorify Me: because He shall receive of Mine and shall show it to you.

offertory Psalm 65. 1-2, 16

JUBILÁTE Deo, univérsa terra, psalmum dícite nómini ejus: veníte, et audíte, et narrábo vobis, omnes qui timétis Deum, quanta fecit Dóminus ánimæ meæ, allelúia.

Shout with joy to God, all the earth, sing ye a psalm to His name: come and hear, and I will tell you, all ye that fear God, what great things the Lord hath done for my soul, alleluia.
