Sunday After Pentecost November 17, 2013 The Traditional Latin Mass Society of San Francisco TLM Society Website: http://sanctatrinitasunusdeus.com/ TLM Society email: [email protected] The Traditional Latin Mass Society is an association of Roman Catholic faithful dedicated to the preservation of the “Ancient form of the Roman Rite” or the “Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite”, as a legitimate use of Holy Mother Church’s Great Liturgical Patrimony. The Society includes lay faithful drawn from every age, group and walks of life as well as clergy and religious members who “continue to adhere with great love and affection to the earlier liturgical forms.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum of 2007) Twenty Sixth Sunday After Pentecost November 17, 2013 Traditional Latin Masses in the Archdiocese of San Francisco Star of the Sea Church St. Monica Parish 4420 Geary Blvd., San Francisco 94118 Geary Blvd & 23rd Ave., San Francisco 94121 (415) 751-0450 ext.16 (415) 751-5275 Sunday: 11 a.m. & Monday - Friday: 7:30 a.m. Monday - Saturday: 12:00 p.m. Immaculate Conception Chapel Most Holy Rosary Chapel St. Francis of Assisi 3255 Folsom St., San Francisco 94110 One Vincent Dr., San Rafael 94903 1425 Bay Rd.

Cash payment only. Assistant Chaplain’s Corner As we come to the end of our liturgical year, the Church places before us the feasts of St. Albert the Great (November 15) and the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (November 21). At first glance, these feasts have little in common. First, we have Albert, nicknamed “The Boot” because he was said to have walked all of Europe, the great scientist and scholar and bishop, who is the true patron saint of extroverts, as he carried out his peripatetic mode of holiness in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the world. Albert is famous, first and foremost, because he was the teacher of the great St. Thomas Aquinas, forming young Thomas in the philosophy of Aristotle, which was newly available in Latin-speaking Europe. Called the “Universal Doctor” because he studied everything, the Bishop of Regensburg is also the brightest-shining exemplar of the “Scientific Revolution of 1215.” In his intellectual labors and tireless travel and widespread influence, he is a brilliant example of the fruitfulness of the active life in the Church. The feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin is, on the other hand, a feast of the fruitfulness of the contemplative life in the Church. Although Sacred Scripture is silent on the matter, the Church receives the strong oral tradition, enshrined in her Sacred Liturgy, that the Blessed Virgin Mary left her parents and her home as a young woman and solemnly consecrated herself to God as a virgin, living a contemplative life in the shadow of the Temple in Jerusalem. In her is fulfilled the prophecy of the Psalmist: “Hearken, O daughter, and see and incline thy ear, and forget thy people and thy father’s house” (Psalm 44:11). Of this solemn consecration, St. Augustine says: “Mary answered the announcing angel: ‘How shall this be done, because I know not man?’ She would not have said this unless she had already vowed her virginity to God.” St. Thomas, the pupil of St. Albert, explains that Mary consecrated her virginity to God with a vow because “works of perfection are more praiseworthy when performed in fulfillment of a vow.” Thomas goes on to explain that, at first, Our Lady’s vow of virginity was conditional upon further confirmation from God, Who commanded the People of Israel to marry and beget children “since the worship of God was spread according to carnal origin, until Christ was born of that people.” However, he continues, after she was engaged to Joseph and had, after much prayer, discussed the matter with him, “having taken a husband, according as the custom of the time required, together with him she took a vow of virginity.” Thus was inaugurated the precious tradition of consecrated life in the Church. Albert’s activity and Mary’s contemplation, while starkly different in the details of daily living, are united by the common quality of the total consecration of all of one’s being and powers and efforts to Almighty God. Whether studying the created universe or contemplating its Creator, the Christian soul is called in all things to divine love, to the total gift of himself to God and, for God’s sake, to all men. This is the core of sanctity, of which we are especially aware in these sober November days of the dead. As we contemplate the Last Things, we are inspired by Albert’s witness in the active life and Our Mother’s gift of herself in the contemplative life. Fr. Joseph Previtali Assistant Chaplain We are looking for committed people to help in any way with the Society! Please don’t hesitate to contact us: [email protected] 2 | Page MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!

May their souls and the souls of all the Faithful departed rest in peace. Amen." Almighty and ever living God, we ask Thy blessing upon the priests who offer Masses for the Purgatorial Society. Give them a greater awareness of the grace that Thou dost pour out through the Sacraments, and by their devout celebration of the Sacred Mysteries, increase in them a love for Thee. Give strength to Thy priests, O Shepherd of the flock; when they are in doubt, give them the assurance of faith, and in Thy goodness confirm them as heralds of Thy Truth to all who seek to follow in Thy path.

  • Rorate Mass and Then an Introduction to Chant Workshop
    Following the Mass that begins at 6:30am with 9 Fr. Daniel Kluge as celebrant & Fr. Zachary Akers singing with the choir, there will be a short breakfast Rorate Mass and then an Introduction to Chant workshop. Please join us for this very special Mass and Chant Dec. 15th 6:30AM workshop. Here at Holy Family, this Rorate devotion has not taken place in many decades. Holy Family Catholic Church, Dayton, OH The Rorate Caeli Mass is a traditional Advent devotion wherein the Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary for Advent is offered just before dawn. In many instances families and individuals travel an hour or more, rising and arriving very early for this stunningly beautiful Mass. The interplay of light and darkness speak to the meaning of Advent and the coming of the Light of the world. The Mass takes its title, Rorate Caeli, from the first words of the Introit, which are from Isaiah 45:8 “Rorate, caeli, desuper, et nubes pluant justum, aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem.” “Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened and bud forth a Saviour.” The Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. Because it is a votive Mass in Mary’s honor, white vestments are worn instead of Advent violet. In the dimly lit setting, priests and faithful prepare to honor the Light of the world, Who is soon to be born, and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter, illumined by the sun as our Faith is illumined by Christ.
