The Traditional Latin Mass (now called by the Holy Father: Mass in the Extraordinary Form) is brought to you through the ministry of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

WHAT IS THE INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST? The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right whose goal is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the ser- vice of the Church and souls. Its specific aim is missionary: to spread the reign of our Lord Christ in all spheres of human life. Our work is carried out under the patronage of the , to Whom the Institute is consecrated.

Recognizing the importance of a deep harmony between faith, liturgy, life, and the power of beauty in attracting the human senses to the things above, an integral part of the Institute’s charism is the use of the traditional Latin Liturgy of 1962 for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the other . Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of the central role of Grace, especially – these are essential elements of the Institute’s spirituality, which is drawn from its three co-patrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Francis de Sales. Our motto is “Live the truth in charity." The Institute operates in more than fifty places in twelve countries, where our priests focus on the care of souls in many different ways. To assist our priests in their apostolic work, the Institute also has clerical . In 2004, a community of religious sisters was canonically established to aid the priests in their mis- sion through prayer and apostolic work. The Institute was founded in 1990 by Monsignor Gilles Wach. Today, the motherhouse and international seminary of the Institute is located in Gricigliano, in the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy. The Institute serves the faithful of the Bay since 2005 at St. Margaret Mary in Oakland and at Five Wounds in San Jose (Mass at 12:30 pm on Sunday, 12:15 pm on Weekdays but Sat. at 7:30 am)

MESSAGE FROM FR. GLENN

I’d like to thank Lucia Wyborny, Linda Fealy, Erik Keilholtz, and Erica Raeder for organ- izing the evening for Valerie Burkart and our CCD teachers and volunteers last Saturday. Mrs. Bur- kart has given much of her time, talent, and treasure into our program for the education of our children. If it weren’t for her, and the “fiat” of our volunteers, we wouldn’t have a program. All families who join us for Masses at St. Margaret Mary are welcome to enroll their children in our program. Our teachers are dedicated to the handing down of the Catholic faith to the next gener- ation. * I-Wen Connick and Pam St. John volun- teered of their time and talent in preparing for the priests’ luncheon at the last Holy Hour.

DIOCESAN APPROVED TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS APOSTOLATE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MOTU PROPRIO, IN THE DIOCESE OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

P ENTECOST SUNDAY June 4, 2017

THE SAINTS AND THE MASS Part I

The Mass, being a sacrifice, and indeed the supreme sacrifice, cannot be offered to our Lady or to any saint, every Catholic child who has been even moderately well instructed is perfectly aware. But it is very possible that some of our readers may never have noticed that the Mass contains not so much as a single prayer addressed to the Blessed Virgin or to any of the saints. All the prayers of the Mass, without exception, are addressed to God Himself, as befits petitions which pertain to a distinctively sacrificial ritual. The only apparent exception to the foregoing statement is to be found in certain invocations which very occasionally occur, or may occur, in the choral portion of the Mass, as, for instance, in the Stabat Mater' s sequence of the Mass on the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady. Nevertheless, our Lady and the saints, though not directly invoked in the prayers of the Eucharistic liturgy, hold a highly-honored place in relation to the Mass ; and this to an extent which may possibly surprise those who have not closely attended to the matter. In the first place, it is most strictly enjoined by the laws of the Church that beneath every altar on which the Holy Sacrifice is offered, or in a cavity of the table of the altar itself, some relics of martyrs should been shrined. This usage goes back, of course, to the days when Mass was offered, in the catacombs, on the very tombs of those who had sealed their confession of the Christian faith by a martyr s death. But it has, moreover, a scriptural basis and justification in the words of the Apocalypse "I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held." And it is full of a most profound and beautiful and encouraging significance. For it reminds us that all the sufferings of the martyrs, and indeed all the sufferings for justice' s sake even of those faithful serv- ants of God who are not in the strict sense martyrs, are fused, as it were, and made one with the suffer- ings of Christ our Lord, being accepted by God as an efficacious sacrifice; efficacious precisely by virtue of their union with His self-offering.
