3 ASSOCIATE PASTOR’S MESSAGE

In last week’s bulletin, I wrote about the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. That Solemnity is assigned to August 15th in the liturgical cal-endar. August 22nd, a Monday this year, has a related celebration: The Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Pius XII solemnly declared the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven to be a dogma of faith on November 1, 1950 in the Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus (The most bountiful God). Pope Pius XII also proclaimed the Queenship of Mary on October 11, 1954 in the encyclical letter Ad Caeli Reginam (To the Queen of Heaven).

In Ad Caeli Reginam Pope Pius XII employs the same method that was used in Munificentissimus Deus. The Holy Father presents proofs taken from the liturgy, Church Fathers, Doctors of the Church, and saints to demonstrate that the Church has always believed and understood Mary to be a queen before pro-ceeding to give a more systematic explanation.

Pope Pius XII, in Ad Caeli Reginam, states “according to ancient tradition and the sacred liturgy the main principle on which the royal dignity of Mary rests is without doubt her Divine Motherhood” (34). Mary “is a Queen, since she bore a son who, at the very moment of His conception, because of the hypostatic un-ion of the human nature with the Word, was also as man King and Lord of all things. So with complete jus-tice St. John Damascene could write: ‘When she became Mother of the Creator, she truly became Queen of every creature’” (34).

The Holy Father goes on to say: “But the Blessed Virgin Mary should be called Queen, not only because of her Divine Motherhood, but also because God has willed her to have an exceptional role in the work of our eternal salvation” (35). We recall this role in the Stabat mater:

At the Cross her station keeping, Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, stood the mournful Mother weeping, all His bitter anguish bearing, close to her Son to the last. now at length the sword has passed.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, Pope Pius XII clearly states the primacy of Jesus Christ:

Certainly, in the full and strict meaning of the term, only Jesus Christ, the God-Man, is King; but Mary, too, as Mother of the divine Chr ist, as His associate in the redemption, in his struggle with His enemies and His final victory over them, has a share, though in a limited and analogous way, in His royal dignity. For from her union with Chr ist she attains a radiant eminence transcending that of any other creature; from her union with Christ she receives the royal right to dispose of the treasures of the Divine Redeemer's Kingdom; from her union with Christ finally is derived the inexhaustible efficacy of her maternal intercession before the Son and His Father. (39)

I encourage you all to read this encyclical letter if you can. Most importantly, “Let all, therefore, try to approach with greater trust the throne of grace and mercy of our Queen and Mother, and beg for strength in adversity, light in darkness, consolation in sorrow” (48). “All, according to their state, should strive to bring alive the wondrous virtues of our heavenly Queen and most loving Mother through constant effort of mind and manner” (49).

Queen of Heaven, pray for us. Fr. Richard A. Yevchak, IVE

PHÚC ÂM: Lc 13, 22-30 "Người ta sẽ từ đông chí tây đến dự tiệc trong nước Chúa". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Luca. Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu rảo qua các đô thị và làng mạc, vừa giảng dạy vừa đi về Giêrusalem. Có kẻ hỏi Người rằng: "Lạy Thầy, phải chăng chỉ có một số ít sẽ được cứu độ?" Nhưng Người phán cùng họ rằng: "Các ngươi hãy cố gắng vào qua cửa hẹp, vì Ta bảo các ngươi biết: nhiều người sẽ tìm vào mà không vào được. Khi chủ nhà đã vào và đóng cửa lại, thì lúc đó các ngươi đứng ngoài mới gõ cửa mà rằng: 'Thưa ngài, xin mở cửa cho chúng tôi'. Chủ sẽ trả lời các ngươi rằng: 'Ta không biết các ngươi từ đâu tới'. Bấy giờ các ngươi mới nói rằng: 'Chúng tôi đã ăn uống trước mặt ngài và ngài đã giảng dạy giữa các công trường chúng tôi'. Nhưng chủ sẽ trả lời các ngươi rằng: 'Ta không biết các ngươi tự đâu mà tới, hỡi những kẻ làm điều gian ác, hãy lui ra khỏi mặt ta'. Khi các ngươi sẽ thấy Abraham, Isaac, Giacóp và tất cả các tiên tri ở trong nước Thiên Chúa, còn các ngươi bị loại ra ngoài, nơi đó các ngươi sẽ khóc lóc nghiến răng. Và người ta sẽ từ đông chí tây, từ bắc chí nam đến dự tiệc trong nước Thiên Chúa. Phải, có những người sau hết sẽ trở nên trước hết và những người trước hết sẽ nên sau hết". Đó là lời Chúa.

Assistant, Simple Meal Prep, Retreat Small Group Leader, Hall Monitor, etc.

Jesus & the Little Ones

Catechists are needed to share the Sunday Gospel readings with 3 - 7 year old children on their level. The program is held during the Liturgy of the Word during the 9:30 am Sun-day Mass. Catechists lead the children out of Mass a er a blessing from the priest and return at offertory. Contact Beth Shank in the parish

office for more information on any of our edu-cational programs preschool through adults!

21º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 21 DE AGOSTO 2016

DISCIPLINA No es accidente que las palabras “discípulo” y “disciplina” sean casi idénticas. Su relación en la fe y la vida cristianas, sin embargo, ha caído en desuso en la generación pasada debido a que ciertas reglas y regula-ciones prescritas en la fe cristiana se han reducido o rela-jado. Estas reglas con frecuencia eran llamadas “disciplinas”. Nos equivocamos, sin embargo, si pensa-mos que ya no se necesita disciplina para seguir a Cristo. La Carta a los Hebreos nos lo asegura hoy. Nuestra dis-ciplina es como la de un atleta que persigue una victoria o quiere ser el mejor, o como la de un músico que lucha por hacer carrera como concertista o por perfección en la ejecución de una nueva obra musical. Esta disciplina se basa en el deseo, no en las reglas. Fue el deseo de hacer la voluntad de Dios lo que motivó a Jesús en el camino hacia el calvario. Es ese mismo deseo el que él inspira en nosotros hoy: luchar por entrar por la puerta angosta, para encontrarnos en el Reino con muchas personas que están allí no solamente por observar las reglas, sino por un sincero deseo de reclinarse a la mesa del celestial banquete.
