Thank you for all your understanding that we have to make changes during this confusing time. I want to thank everyone for the prayers for our WAF members who were going through love one’s sickness, other members who suffered physical problems and fractures of bones. Prayers help and everyone is doing our best with all your prayers and well wishes, so we follow Fr. Marc as Spiritual Director, to keep spreading Our Lady of Fatima message. The Pilgrim Virgin Home Visitation Statue Kits are still going to people wanting a week with Our Lady. We are so happy to keep these kits going and having donations still coming in to help with purchasing supplies for our events in the future. Please read “Kit Corner” below. The October Celebration in Salem this year went well and all there enjoyed having the Immaculate Heart of Mary statue there during the event to install people in the Brown Scapular and New member pins. The Rosary was prayed and had a DVD showing of Fatima before the refreshments in main hall. Our next BOT meeting is scheduled for March 13, 2021 at Mary Queen of Peace Church, in the Emmaus Room, 200 Lawrence Rd. Salem, NH. From 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. We pray for Almighty God to protect us from the Invisible Enemy against humanity and all good men and women of good will in this beloved American nation. Respectfully submitted, Carolyn Scanlon, President World Apostolate of Fatima Manchester Diocesan Division, Inc. *** *** To Jesus through Mary *** *** The Pilgrim Virgin Home Visitation “Kit Corner” This is the second time we had the honor of hosting Our Blessed Mother at our home. This is a very special and blessed pilgrimage that our Blessed Mother has sent to our family. We received a very special favor something we have been praying for, for many months. Praying and understanding the mysteries has brought my family closer together and closer to God! Mark, Anne, and Kyle angel announced to him, “Do not be afraid Joseph…that what is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.” In this mystery, St. Joseph has shown us how we are to bear our trials and tribulations – in silent, trust-filled patience. His silence says to everyone, “Do likewise.” In the Visitation, Mary hastened to help her cousin Elizabeth. St. Joseph took her on the long and treacherous journey, but he did not remain; instead he went back to Nazareth, alone with his thoughts. But he was not alone, for Mary was with him in her thoughts and prayers. His love for her was holy and pure. It is his silence that again teaches us the value of prayer and contemplation. Mary was his joyful mystery. We must imitate his prayerful silence and love. When we pray to her, she becomes our bridge from Holy Family – Claudio Coello heaven to earth. Consoling The Immaculate Heart of Mary with St. Joseph The Nativity: St. Joseph was the descendant of King David and his son Solomon. We know of their role as kings, but also Sister Lucia before she died said, “The triumph of the of their sins. Yet, St. Joseph, a lowly carpenter, was truly the Immaculate Heart of Mary will occur when a sufficient world’s holiest of men. His holiness was not announced to number of people have fulfilled the message.” This triumph world. He was unknown and can be called the patron of has been promised, but we must fulfill the requests asked by unnoticed saints. We are all called to be holy, let us use St. Our Lady to usher it in sooner, rather than later. Sister Lucia Joseph, the silent, unnoticed saint as our role model. said the one request that has not been fulfilled is the practice of the First Saturdays. She further stated that not enough The Presentation: “They had done all things prescribed in the people are doing the First Saturdays Devotion. law of the Lord.” St. Joseph fulfilled his duty as a good Jew.

He prayed, worked, slept and devotion in the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. God ate all to please God, who sees all things secretly. Our Lady wishes it! Our Lady told us! Our efforts must therefore asked us at Fatima to offer up our daily duty. Like St. Joseph multiply; we must be assiduous in practicing the Five First when we begin our day, we should say, “For you Lord.” This Saturdays of Reparation, not once, but continually, for those act is the inside key that leads one to sanctity. who do not or will not heed Our Lady’s plea.” Our Lady asked us on the first Saturday of five consecutive The Finding in the Temple: “In sorrow your father and I have months we pray five-decades of the Rosary, receive Holy sought you.” St. Joseph did not live to see Jesus die on the Communion (either Saturday or Sunday), go to confession (8 cross. Yet, like all saints he was not spared the lot of suffering days before or after) and spend 15 minutes consoling the heart with Christ. His sufferings included the agonizing dilemma at of Our Lady meditating on one or all of the mysteries of the the Incarnation, allowing the birth of Jesus in a cave for Rosary. animals, Herod’s wrath which drove him to Egypt and Simeon’s prophecy concerning the future sufferings of Mary and Jesus.

  • School Rosary Program
    How to start a School Rosary Program “I AM OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY... PEOPLE MUST PRAY THE ROSARY” - Our Lady of Fatima, October 13, 1917 The Church says Fatima is worthy of belief. Free Materials & Guidance From Shepherds of Christ Ministries (513) 932-4451 or (888) 211-3041 DO YOU WANT PEACE IN YOUR SCHOOLS? Do you want peace in your school? The Blessed Mother said at Fatima that until a sufficient number of people give their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not have peace! How do we give our hearts to Jesus and Mary? Before school each day, say a small prayer to the Holy Spirit, the small consecration prayers to Jesus and Mary, and the morning offering (all available from Shepherds of Christ at no cost). Each time the children enter a classroom, say the consecration and Holy Spirit prayers. This binds the children in one heart with Jesus and Mary and there is less disharmony.1 We live by Mary's Peace Plan given at Fatima. It is as follows: 1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world. 2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary. 3. We must observe the Five First Saturdays devotion: - Communion, confession (within 8 days before or after the Saturday), recital of the rosary, meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary. All this is to be done in a spirit of reparation. 4.

In order to save them God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart...I will come to ask for the Communion of Reparation...” On December 10, 1925, Our Lady returned with the Child Jesus and spoke to Sr. Lucia about true devotion of reparation to Her Immaculate Heart. Jesus spoke first: “Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.” Then Our Lady instructed Lucia about the Five First Saturday devotions. What does Our Lady ask all of us to do? On the First Saturday of Five Consecutive Months All with the 1. Make a Sacramental Confession* intention of 2. Pray the Rosary (5 decades) making 3.

  • St . Gregory the Great
    VOL. 3 NO. 9 PARISH NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER, 2015 ST . GREGORY THE GREAT September 3 . Gregory was born in 540 in Rome. His father was a senator. His mother is a saint, St St. Celia. Gregory studied philosophy and while still young, became governor of Rome. When is father died, Gregory turned his large house into a monastery. For several years he lived as a good and holy monk. Then Pope Pelagius made him one of the seven deacons of Rome. When the pope died, Gregory was chosen to take his place. He did not want that honor at all. He was so holy and wise, however, that everyone knew he would be a good pope. Gregory even disguised himself and hid in a cave, but he was found and made pope anyway. For fourteen years he ruled the Church. Even though he was always sick, Gregory was one of the greatest popes the Church has ever had. He wrote many books and was a wonderful, preacher. He cared for people all over the world. In fact, he considered himself the servant of all. He was the first pope to use the title “servant of the servants of God.” All the popes since have used this title. St. Gregory took special, loving care of poor people and strangers. Every day he used to feed them a good dinner. He was also very sensitive to the injustices people suffered. Once, when he was still a monk, he saw some blond boys up for sale in the slave market of Rome. He asked where they were from and was told that they were from England.
