OAKLAND APOSTOLATE AT SUNDAY, JULY 4, 2021 SAINT MARGARET MARY Mailing Address: 6TH SUNDAY AFTER 1219 Excelsior Avenue, Oakland, CA 94610 TEXTS IN PARISH BULLETIN , P. 6-7

Dear Faithful,

St. Paul’s this Sunday contains a wholly-refreshing and age- old message from the very core of our Faith: to be baptized into the Mystical ; the Catholic Church, is to put on the “new man” of Jesus Christ and His grace and virtues. It is to have our souls infused with divine grace, and to put to death the “old man” of our sinful past lives so that “we also may walk in newness of life.” We receive this wonderful privilege not only at the moment of , but indeed every time our souls are recon- ciled to God by a worthy confession. Let us therefore always ap- proach this sacrament confidently and joyfully, no matter how many times we may have fallen previously, and thus begin “with a clean slate.” As the Psalmist tells us: “Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever” (117;1).

Please pray for the eight new who were ordained for the Institute of Christ the King this past Thursday, on the Feast of the Eight new Canons of the Institute, ordained to the holy priesthood on July 1, 2021, by His Eminence, Raymond Cardinal Burke Most Precious Blood of Our Lord.

Since our last update on June 19, his situation remains critical but stable. The slow progression of his recovery appears to result from the fact that the COVID was at an already advanced stage in his lungs when medical treatments in Gabon began in early May. Although Canon's condition is very serious and preoccupying, the COVID spe- cialists at his Florence hospital are hopeful. May Our Lady, Health of the sick, intercede for him in his hour of great need!
