O b s e r v a n c e s & R e a d i n g s

Fourth Sunday of Easter April 29, 2012 May, the Month of Blessed Mother, Dear bothers and sisters, The month of May is the "month which the piety of the faithful has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady," and it is the occasion for a "moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world pay to the Queen of Heaven. During this month Christians, both in church and in the privacy of the

home, offer up to Mary from their hearts an especially fervent and loving homage of prayer and veneration. In this month, too, the benefits of God's mercy come down to us from her throne in greater abundance" (Paul VI: Encyclical on the Month of May, no. 1). This Christian custom of dedicating the month of May to the Blessed Virgin arose at the end of the 13th century. In this way, the Church was able to Christianize the secular feasts which were wanting to take place at that time. In the 16th century, books appeared and fostered this devotion. The pious practice of honoring Mary during the month of May has been especially recommended by the Popes. Pius XII made frequent reference to it and in his great Encyclical on the Sacred Liturgy (Mediator Dei) characterized it as one of "other exercises of piety which although not strictly belonging to the Sacred Liturgy, are nevertheless of special import and dignity, and may be considered in a certain way to be an addition to the liturgical devotion: they have been approved and praised over and over again by the Apostolic See and by the Bishops" (no. 182). Paul VI wrote a short encyclical in 1965 using the Month of Mary devotion as a means of obtaining prayers for peace. He urged the faithful to make use of this practice which is "gladdening and consoling" and by which the Blessed Virgin Mary is honored and the Christian people are enriched with spiritual gifts" (no. 2). In May of 2002 Pope John Paul II said, "Today we begin the month dedicated to Our Lady a favorite of popular devotion. In accord with a long-standing tradition of devotion, parishes and families continue to make the month of May a 'Marian' month, celebrating it with many devout liturgical, catechetical and pastoral initiatives!" Let us do it in our homes and in our parish. With prayers and Blessings, Your brother in Christ Msgr. Xavier

The Holy Father’s Intentions for April 2012 General: Vocations. That many young people may hear the call of Christ and follow him in the priesthood and religious life. Missionary: Christ, Hope for Africans. That the risen Christ may be a sign of certain hope for the men and women of the African continent.

NATIONAL ROSARY CRUSADE It is time to launch a National Rosary Crusade to save America and the world. Please pledge to pray one rosary a day for the conversion of America and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. If you have a computer, you can check out the web site: www.nationalrosarycrusade.com. Please direct questions to: National Rosary Crusade PO Box 355, Napa, CA. 94558 or email: questions@nationalrosarycrusade.com or rosary4usa@yahoo.com. With our Lady’s help we can bring about another great Rosary victory! On November 9, 1976, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) said: We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the Anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY… The Diocese of Tyler, in collaboration with the University of Dallas, would like to offer a Cohort Master of Pastoral Ministry. The proposed program would start in January 2013 and would require a 2½ - 3 year commitment from each student that would qualify for an academic degree. If you are interested in this master or have any questions, please contact Deacon Rubén Natera at RNatera@aol.com.

PRO LIFE Fetal Development Month 1

During this first amazing month of life the baby grows to 10,000 times his size at conception. He is totally dependent upon his mother. Between mother and child lies the vital organ called the placenta. Here vessels from the mother and baby intertwine without joining, highlighting this newly formed relationship - mutual, nourishing and deeply connected. By the third week the baby’s tiny heart begins to beat.

Announcement: Baptismal Class There will be NO Baptismal Preparation classes for the month of May. Classes will resume in June 2012.

Our deepest condolences to John & Jennifer Balint and their family on the death of Jennifer’s father,

Douglas J. Smith

May the Lord grant him eternal rest and comfort to family and friends who share

the loss. You are in our prayers.
