east Lansing, MI. Wel

come

“ This is the day

the Lord has made

Let us rejoice in it

and be glad! ”

Psalm 118:24

It brings me great joy to gather with you today to celebrate a central truth of our Faith, a truth that can sometimes get “lost in the details” — that God’s desire for each of us, for the whole world in fact, is to be eternally happy with him forever in heaven. My prayer is that you will come away from this day renewed in your relationship with God and recommitted to the journey to holiness and open to the Holy Spirit who empowers us both to live the Gospel and announce it to others. We begin this morning with a 3.8-mile Eucharistic procession from St. Mary Cathedral to the Breslin Center in East Lansing. This is an opportunity for us to witness to the world that we follow JESUS CHRIST, not just on foot in a procession, but every day of our lives through our thoughts, words and deeds. We really believe that Jesus is Lord — Let him reign! I pray that you are inspired by the lineup of speakers this afternoon. I hope that you will also be inspired by the unique experience of being surrounded by thousands of other Catholics from our own communities who are committed to following Christ with their lives. I am confident you will find one or more things from this day that will bring you closer to God. As we close this momentous day together with Mass and hear the final words, “Go and Announce the Gospel of the Lord,” I pray that those words will echo in our hearts and enliven our spirits so that, renewed and strengthened in our faith, we will reach out to people whom we meet and share with them the true happiness in Christ for which they were made.

Yours in Christ, Bishop Earl Boyea

Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY The Joyful Mysteries are marked by the joy radiating from the event of the Incarnation.To meditate upon the joyful mysteries is to enter into the ultimate causes and the deepest meaning of Christian joy. It is to focus on the realism of the mystery of the Incarnation and on the obscure foreshadowing of the mystery of the saving Passion. Mary leads us to discover the secret of Christian joy, reminding us that Christianity is, first and foremost, evangelization, “good news,” which has as its heart and its whole content the person of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, the one Savior of the world.- Pope John Paul II 1. The Annunciation Mary learns from the Angel Gabriel that God wishes her to be the mother of God and humbly accepts. (LUKE 1:26-38)

2. The Visitation Mary goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth and is praised by her as “blessed among women.” (LUKE 1:39-56)

3. The Nativity Mary gives birth to Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem. (LUKE 2:1-20)

4. The Presentation Mary and Joseph present Jesus to His Heavenly Father in the Temple of Jerusalem forty days after His birth. (LUKE 2:22-39)

5. The Finding of Jesus in the Temple After searching for three days, Mary and Joseph find the twelve-year-old Jesus sitting in the Temple discussing the law with the learned doctors. (LUKE 2:42-52)

6

Immaculate Mary

Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing; You reign now in splendor with Jesus our King.

Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!

In heaven, the blessed your glory proclaim; On earth we, your children, invoke your sweet name.

Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!

We pray for the Church, our true Mother on earth, And beg you to watch o’er the land of our birth.

Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!

Jesus My Lord, My God, My allJesus my Lord, my God, my all How can I love thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift So far surpassing hope or thought?

Chorus: Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore Oh make us love Thee more and more Oh make us love Thee more and more.

Had I but Mary’s sinless heart, To love Thee with, my dearest King Oh, with what bursts of fervent praise Thy goodness Jesus, would I sing!

Ah, see within a creature’s hand The vast Creator deigns to be. Reposing, infant-like, as though, On Joseph’s arms, on Mary’s knee.

Thy body, soul, and Godhead, all O mystery of love divine, I cannot compass all I have For all thou hast and art are mine.

Sound, sound His praises higher still And come, ye angels, to our aid. ‘Tis God, ‘tis God, the very God Whose power both man and angels made.

Let us pray...

Lord our God,

in this great sacrament

we come into the presence of Jesus Christ, your Son,

born of the Virgin Mary and crucified for our salvation.

May we who declare our faith in this fountain of love

and mercy drink from it the water of everlasting life.

Jennifer Fulwiler takes us on her journey from lifelong atheism to Catholicism, pointing out that her quest was a search for happiness as much as it was a search for truth. She weaves in tips and suggestions for how we can each reach out to our own non-believing loved ones.

So, this image is rare, special and extraordinary! Because of her special commissioning it has traveled the world bringing many signs, wonders, conversions, healings and graces. This image, along with the other three, has manifested signs such as detections of a heartbeat of an unborn baby, confirmed by doctors and nurses with stethoscopes. The joyful woman has been known to shed tears of oil and holy glitter. God manifests these signs at his pleasure and delights to give them to help to strengthen our faith and our confidence in the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in Mexico as the pregnant Mother of God to Saint Juan Diego, a Chichimeca Indian, on December 12, 1531. She left a miraculous image of her appearance on his tilma (a cloak), which still exists today for all to see in the Basilica Shrine in Mexico City. The Missionary Images measure 4’ x 6’ and are the exact size and color replicas of the original miraculous image.

Euchari stic Miracles

Throughout Christian history, our Lord has shown us that he is really present in the Blessed Sacrament. Interestingly, many Eucharistic miracles have taken place as a result of someone doubting the Real Presence. The pictures that are displayed on the columns around the concourse come to us courtesy of the Real Presence Eucharistic Presence and Adoration Association.

We are highlighting almost 50 of the Eucharistic miracles that have happened all over the world through many centuries. All of them have received full approval by the Church.

Most Eucharistic miracles involve incidents in which the Host has “turned into human flesh and blood.” Of course, we, as Catholics, believe that the consecrated Host IS the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, under the appearances of bread and wine. Therefore, Jesus, through these miracles, miraculously manifests His Presence in a more tangible way.

ReliquaryThere is a display of relics from several different saints including St. John Paul II, St. Thèrése of Lisieux, and many others. This display was made possible through the generosity of a personal collector of sacred relics. You are invited to take some time today to venerate these holy relics.

Shroud of TurinThe Shroud of Turin has long been venerated by the faithful and is believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. The Shroud is one of the most scientifically studied religious icons in history. As science has progressed, so has the speculation on how the image of the crucified man of the Shroud was made.

The exhibit presents the results of a comprehensive scientific, historical and forensic study with numerous photographs and illustrations. The exhibit is the work of The Center for the Study of the Passion of Christ and the Holy Shroud and Monsignor Giulio Ricci and other scientists, who spent more than 25 years researching the Holy Shroud. 

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a full-length replica of the Shroud developed from a photographic image of the Shroud made by the Eastman Kodak Co. The replica shows the front and back of the shroud. In addition, the mobile exhibit contains a depiction of a large crucified corpus showing the wounds of Christ corresponding to the passion narrative in the Gospel accounts and the wounds shown on the Shroud. The exhibit contains 92 panels detailing the history and science of the Shroud.

Holy SacrifIce of the Mass

This Mass fulFIlls your Sunday obligation AND a PLENARY INDULGENCE is available to you!At the end of Mass, Bishop Boyea will administer a papal blessing, which comes with a plenary indulgence. The Apostolic Blessing, or papal blessing, is a blessing imparted by the pope either directly or by delegation through others. A bishop is empowered to impart the Apostolic Blessing three times a year within his own diocese in the context of a solemn liturgical celebration designated by the bishop himself. The blessing is imparted in place of the usual blessing at the end of Mass, using a formula that invokes the intercession of the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul.

A plenary indulgence is available to those who fulfill the following conditions:

1. Sacramental Confession within 20 days of the Apostolic Blessing.

2. Reception of Communion.

3. Pray for the intentions of the pope.

4. Freedom from attachment to sin.

It is granted also to those who are unable to be present at the rite itself and who instead follow it piously by live transmission over radio, television, or other means of social communication.
