From the commentary on the second letter to the Corinthians by Saint Cyril of Alexandria, bishop God has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation Those who have a sure hope, guaranteed by the Spirit, that they will rise again lay hold of what lies in the future as though it were already present. They say: “Outward appearances will no longer be our standard in judging other men. Our lives are all controlled by the Spirit now, and are not confined to this physical world that is subject to corruption. The light of the Only-begotten has shone on us, and we have been transformed into the Word, the source of all life. While sin was still our master, the bonds of death had a firm hold on us, but now that the righteousness of Christ has found a place in our hearts we have freed ourselves from our for-mer condition of corruptibility.” This means that none of us lives in the flesh anymore, at least not in so far as living in the flesh means being subject to the weaknesses of the flesh, which include corruptibility. Once we thought of Christ as being in the flesh, but we do not do so any longer, says Saint Paul. By this he meant that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; he suffered death in the flesh in order to give all men life. It was in this flesh that we knew him before, but we do so no longer. ….(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 Psalm 95. 2 CANTÁTE Dómino, allelúia: cantáte Dómino, et benedícite nomen ejus: bene nuntiáte de die in diem salutáre ejus, al-lelúia, allelúia.

Sing unto the Lord, alleluia, sing unto the Lord, and bless His name: show forth His salvation from day to day, alleluia, alleluia.

postcommunion TRÍBUE nobis, Dómine, cæléstis mensæ virtúte satiátis: et desideráre quæ recta sunt, et desideráta percípere. Per Dómi-num nostrum

Grant us, O Lord, who have been nour-ished and strengthened at the heavenly table, both to desire that which is right, and to gain that which we desire. Through our Lord.

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)...Even though he remains in the flesh, since he came to life again on the third day and is now with his Father in heaven, we know that he has passed beyond the life of the flesh; for having died once, he will never die again, death has no power over him any more. His death was a death to sin, which he died once for all; his life is life with God. Since Christ has in this way become the source of life for us, we who follow in his footsteps must not think of ourselves as living in the flesh any longer, but as having passed beyond it. Saint Paul’s saying is ab-solutely true that when anyone is in Christ he becomes a completely different person: his old life is over and a new life has begun. We have been justified by our faith in Christ and the power of the curse has been broken. Christ’s coming to life again for our sake has put an end to the sovereignty of death. We have come to know the true God and to worship him in spirit and in truth, through the Son, our mediator, who sends down upon the world the Father’s blessings.

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 48. 20 VOCEM jucunditátis annuntiáte, et audiátur, allelúia: annuntiáte usque ad extremum terræ: liberávit Dóminus pópulum suum, alleluia, allelúia. Ps. 65. 1-2. Jubiláte Deo, omnis ter-ra, psalmum dícite nómini ejus: date glóriam laudi ejus. V. Glória Patri.

Declare it with the voice of joy, and make it known, alleluia: declare it even to the ends of the earth: The Lord hath delivered His people, alleluia, allelu-

ia. Ps. Shout with joy to God, all the earth, sing ye a psalm to His name: give glory to His praise. V. Glory be to the Father

collect DEUS, a quo bona cuncta procédunt largíre supplicíbus tuis: ut cogitémus, te inspiránte, quae recta sunt; et, te gubernánte, éadem faciámus. Per Dóminum nostrum

O God, from whom all good things do proceed, grant unto Thy humble serv-ants, that by Thy holy inspiration, we may think those things that are right, and under Thy guidance may perform the same. Through our Lord.

epistle James 1, 22-27 CARÍSSIMI: Estóte factóres verbi, et non auditóres tantum: falléntes vosmetipsos. Quia si quis audítor est verbi, et non factor: hic comparábitur viro consideránti vultum nativitátis suæ in spéculo: considerávit enim se, et ábiit, et statim oblítus est, qualis fúerit. Qui autem perspéxerit in legem perféctam libertátis, et permánserit in ea, non audítor obliviósus factus, sed factor óperis: hic beátus in facto suo erit. Si quis autem putat se religiósum esse, non refrénans linguam suam, sed sedúcens cor suum, hujus vana est relígio. Relígio munda et immaculáta apud Deum et Patrem hæc est: Visitáre pupíllos et víduas in tribulatióne eórum et immaculátum se custodíre ab hoc sǽculo

Dearly beloved, be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass: for he beheld himself and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was. But he that hath looked into perfect law of liberty and hath contin-ued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed. And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Religion pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one’s self unspot-ted from this world.

paschal alleluia John 16.28 ALLELÚIA, allelúia. V. Surréxit Christus, et illúxit nobis, quos redémit sánguine suo

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Christ is risen, and hath shone upon us, whom He re-deemed with His blood

ALLELÚIA. V. Exívi a Patre, et veni in mundum: íterum relín-quo mundum, et vado ad Patrem. Allelúia

Alleluia. V. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world and I go to the Father. Alleluia

gospel John 16. 23-30 IN illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Amen, amen dico vobis: si quid petiéritis Patrem in nómine meo, dabit vobis. Usque modo non petístis quidquam in nómine meo: Pétite, et accipiétis, ut gáudium vestrum sit plenum. Hæc in provérbiis locútus sum vobis. Venit hora, cum jam non in provérbiis loquar vobis, sed palam de Patre annuntiábo vobis. In illo die in nómine meo petétis: et non dico vobis quia ego rogá-bo Patrem de vobis: ipse enim Pater amat vos, quia vos me amástis, et credidístis quia ego a Deo exívi. Exívi a Patre et veni in mundum: íterum relínquo mundum et vado ad Patrem. Dicunt ei discípuli ejus: Ecce nunc palam lóqueris et provér-bium nullum dicis. Nunc scimus quia scis ómnia, et non opus est tibi ut quis te intérroget: in hoc crédimus quia a Deo exísti.

At that time Jesus saith to His disciples: Amen, amen, I say to you: If you ask the Father any thing in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto you have not asked any thing in My name: Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will show you plainly of the Father. In that day you shall ask in My name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father and am come into the world: again I leave the world and I go to the Father. His disciples say to Him: Behold now Thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb. Now we know that Thou knowest all things and Thou needest not that any man should ask Thee: by this we believe That Thou camest forth from God.

offertory Psalm 65. 8-9, 20

BENEDÍCITE, gentes, Dóminum Deum nostrum, et obaudíte vocem laudis ejus: qui pósuit ánimam meam ad vitam, et non dedit commovéri pedes meos: benedictus Dóminus, qui non amóvit deprecatiónem meam et misericórdiam suam a me, allelúia

O bless the Lord our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard: who hath set my soul to live, and hath not sufféred my feet to be moved. Blessed be the Lord, Who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me, alleluia.

SÚSCIPE, Dómine, fidélium preces cum oblatiónibus hostiárum: ut per hæc piæ devotiónis offícia, ad cæléstem glóriam transeámus. Per Dóminum nostrum.

Receive, O Lord, the prayers and sacrifices of the faithful, that by these of-fices of loving devotion we may attain to heavenly glory. Through our Lord.
