Holy Hour of Reparation to the SACRED HEART of JESUS Holy Hour of Reparation to THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS 7:00 to 8:00 PM The Thursday before First Friday of the Month Blessed Sacrament Chapel Behold the heart which has so loved men.” “Can you spend one hour with me?” Our Lord appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in France (1671 to 1690), and revealed to her His Sacred Heart wounded by the lack of respect for the Blessed Sacrament --His Body and Blood-- and wounded by the many other sins of the world. For that reason Our Lord requested her to originate a Holy Hour of Reparation to His Sacred Heart. In Pope Pius XI’s’ Encylcliclical called Miserentissimus Redemptor, he often refers to the conversations between Jesus and Saint Margaret, and the pressing need for all Catholics to perform acts of reparation and expiation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the sins that the whole human race offers constantly to God. Pope Pius’s description of the decadent times in which he issued this great plea for devotion and reparation appears to be strikingly like our own, especially in the matters of attacks on the Catholic Church and the erosion of morals and religious liberty. Let us not think that the words of Popes are not valuable just because they were uttered decades ago. Time and time again, Popes are found to be prophetic and right. Their voices don’t fade like echoes, they get stronger once we have tuned our ears to hear them again. Please join us in this beautiful Holy Hour of Reparation as Jesus requested. We will and use a booklet titled, Holy Hour of Reparation (copies supplied). For information contact Joan Hosek at 714-983-7560 or [email protected] The Sacred Heart of Jesus promised to Saint Margaret Mary that he would reward abundantly with his graces all those who should render this honor to His Heart. .

    Devotion of the Five First Saturdays Fr. Karl Stehlin, SSPX Fr. Karl Stehlin, SSPX Devotion of the Five First Saturdays Kolbe Publications 2017 Copyright © 2017 for Kolbe Publications edition by Militia Immaculatae Traditional Observance www.kolbepublications.com [email protected] www.militia-immaculatae.info Edition I Introduction Saturdays are traditionally dedicated to Our Lady. Since the begin- ning of Christianity, the Church has considered Saturdays to be dedi- cated to intensifying our devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our mother. Many people consecrated the first Saturday of the month to Mary for this intention and in reparation for the blasphe- mies and sacrileges against her from sinners and false teachings. On June 13, 1912, St. Pius X granted new indulgences to practices: “To promote the piety of the Faithful towards Immaculate Mary, Mother of God, and to make Reparation for the outrages done to her holy Name and her privileges by impious men, St. Pius X granted, for the first Satur- day of each month, a plenary indulgence, applicable to the souls in pur- gatory. Conditions: confession, communion, prayers for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff and pious practices in the spirit of Reparation in honour of the Immaculate Virgin.” Five years later, on June 13, 1917, there took place at Fatima the great manifestation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 3 Apparition of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Fatima On June 13, 1917 Our Lady appeared a second time to three children (Lucy, Jacinta, Francesco) in Fatima. She showed them her Heart. Sister Lucy wrote: “In front of the palm of Our Lady’s right hand was a HEART encircled by thorns which pierced it.

  • U.S. Bishops' “9 DAYS for LIFE” Novena from January 14-22, 2019
    U.S. Bishops’ “9 DAYS FOR LIFE” Novena from January 14-22, 2019 www.9daysforlife.com Day One: Monday, January 14, 2019 Intercession: May a culture of life grow ever stronger in our communities. Prayers: Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Glory Be Reflection: God has carefully, lovingly created every person—in His own image and likeness—to be in a loving relationship with Himself. From each tiny child knit within a mother’s womb, to every person approaching death, all are loved perfectly and completely by God. “It is therefore a service of love,” Pope Saint John Paul II explains, “which we are all committed to ensure to our neighbor, that his or her life may be always defended and promoted, especially when it is weak or threatened [emphasis added]” (Evangelium vitae, 77). In a world in which the most vulnerable are so often overlooked and disregarded, Christ calls us to embrace and uphold the unconditional dignity of every human life. In doing so, we help to build “a new culture of life, the fruit of the culture of truth and of love” (EV, 77). Acts of Reparation (Choose one.) ▪ Do you love your cup of tea or coffee? Abstain from caffeine today, or try your coffee black. ▪ “Unplug” for some time, and reflect on how God may be asking you to help build a culture of life in your home, workplace, or Church community. ▪ Offer some other sacrifice, prayer, or act of penance that you feel called to do for today’s intention. Day Two: Tuesday, January 15, 2019 Intercession: May all people embrace the truth that every life is a good and perfect gift and is worth living.

  • First Fridays and Eucharistic Adoration
    First Fridays and Eucharistic Adoration Let us be generous with our time in going to meet him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.” – Pope John Paul II Why First Friday? In the seventeenth century, Jesus frequently appeared to St. Margaret Mary in France. One of the promises He revealed spoke of first Fridays: “In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.” Today, Holy Mass on First Friday is devoted to the Sacred Heart and to the Precious Blood of Jesus. The Eucharist is also taken to shut-ins on this day. Sources: Catholic Encyclopedia and The Catholicism Answer Book What is Eucharistic Adoration? After morning mass, the Eucharist is displayed on the altar in the monstrance. This Presence is honored by having at least one person remain in vigil while it is displayed. While adoration can occur with the Eucharist in the tabernacle, being able to see the Eucharist adds to the intimacy of this time. As the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops notes, “Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church.” The Saint John Paul II Eucharistic Adoration Association points out that this practice was expected to continue after Vatican II: “(In) Mysterium Fidei..

  • A Message from Our Pastor 
    A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR Dear friends, Last weekend, at our Masses of Reparation, we announced that, as a concrete, ongoing response that our parish can give to the Bishop’s call for acts of reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the abuse scandals in the Church, we as a parish will designate one day each month — it will be the first Tuesday — for all of 2019 for this purpose. As you recall, on September 14 & 15, we held a 24 hour period of prayer and fasting in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. It was my privilege to lead it, and I found the time very helpful, meaningful, and time which could not have been better spent. I was also heartened by the numbers of parishioners and guests who stopped in to pray during one of the hours of the day or night. As I’ve said, this is not the whole story, but it is the best place to start. Following upon this, we as a parish will be offering a period of Eucharistic Adoration, prayer, and fasting in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, from 3pm to midnight on the First Tuesday of each month. I myself commit to being present for the entire period and leading it each month. The schedule will look like this: 3:00 pm ~ Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy 4:00 pm ~ Holy Rosary: Joyful Mysteries 5:00 pm ~ Evening Prayer 6:00 pm ~ Angelus 7:00 pm ~ Holy Rosary: Luminous Mysteries [7:00 pm ~ 8:30 pm: Confessions available] 8:00 pm ~ Holy Rosary: Sorrowful Mysteries 9:00 pm ~ Holy Rosary: Glorious Mysteries 10:00 pm ~ Night Prayer 11:00 pm ~ Office of Readings (anticipated) 12:00 midnight ~ Conclusion with simple reposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
