Aljustrel was home to approximately thirty-five families at the time of the apparitions. Like the other families in the community, these two families were poor and hardworking. Their homes had been blessed by the Sacrament of Matrimony; and their conjugal fidelity was absolute. They welcomes all the children that God chose to send them, not as a burden but as another gift with which God was enriching their homes, another life to prolong their own into the future, another flower to bloom in their garden, filling it with the perfume and joy of the many scents and shades of fresh smiling youth, another soul entrusted by God to their care so that, by guiding it in the ways of Heaven, it could become yet another member of the Mystical Body of Christ, yet another hymn of paise to eternal glory.* Lúcia wrote the above quote, which seems to me to be a wonderful and profound expression of the Lord’s in- tent when He created and redeemed the human race. God made us for Him and for one another. Truly, the light of faith “illuminated their whole lives.” Parents taught their children about the Lord and about the Virgin Mary “because she is their Mother also, though much more powerful, holy and beautiful than the earthly mother who rocked their cradle.” Parents sent their children to catechism classes in the parish Church and saw to it that they received the Sacraments. During the afternoon siesta at home and after the evening meal, the father of the family continued teaching the children while the mother tidied up the kitchen and house. “Chestnuts and sweet acorns from the holm oaks burst open among the embers where they had been placed by an older brother or sister in order to make things even jollier.” The day of First Holy Communion “was one of solemn and intimate rejoicing for all the family, for on that day God was once again visiting their home and uniting Himself with one of its members.” The family sang a sim- ple song of thanksgiving. O Angels sing with me O Angels praise without end! To give thanks I am not able, O Angels, give thanks for me! The families did not have many earthly goods, yet they managed to provide for themselves. There was “peace and unity, joy and love, the fruit of mutual understanding, mutual asking and granting of forgiveness for the inevitable shortcomings of human frailty.” Lúcia writes that Love is the secret of happiness on earth and in heaven. With the love of God in their hearts, parents “took the greatest care in safeguarding the innocence of their children lest anything should soil the whiteness of their infant souls.” On Sundays and Holydays of Obligation, people went to Holy Mass in the morning. Sunday afternoons were for recreation and visiting. The Angelus was recited while the Church bells rang, “the men taking off their charac- teristic cap and holding it in their hands while the Angelus was said.” In the evening, families had supper in their homes, followed by prayer intentions spoken by the father and the Rosary led by the mother. Having kept God’s law of rest and having restored one’s physical strength, people were ready for bed and at dawn on the following day, each one could again take up their daily tasks with renewed vigor.” Next Week: Life in Fatima (Concluded) * Unless otherwise indicated, quotes are those of Sister Lúcia in her book Calls from the Message of Fatima (Fatima, Portugal: Secretariado dos Pastorinhos, 2000), pp. 39-51. 02 22 Mon. 6:15 a.m.: Eva Fontenot 23 Tue. 5:30 p.m.: Living: Charles Mouille 24 Wed. 5:30 p.m.: Living: Sue Rodriguez 25 Thu. 5:30 p.m.: Living & Deceased Members of the Ison & Eva Fontenot Families 26 Fri. 5:30 p.m.: Way of the Cross, 20 Sat. 4:00 p.m. Anticipated: Elden Butcher, The Nu- followed by Mass: gier Family, Edwina Smith Hernandez, Gerald & Alberta Living: Sue Rodriguez Gossen, Amanda Claire Judice, Lynn Kallam Ditch, James Judice, Dallas Fleming, Elroy Perrien, Rosamaria 27 Sat. 8:00 a.m.: Gerald “Jerry” Cormier Reyes-Silva, Charles Blanchard, Peter Tu Pham; Living & Deceased Members of: Michael & Fred Landry & 4:00 p.m. Anticipated: Elden Butcher, The Nugier Family, The Bouvier & Boudreaux Families, The Ison & Family, Edwina Smith Hernandez, Eva Fontenot, Doug- Eva Fontenot Families, The Quebedeau Family, The las Mistich, Mr. & Mrs. James E.

  • Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo
    Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo SAINT OF THE DAY 23-03-2021 Twenty-five years of episcopal ministry in the New World, and thousands of kilometres travelled almost always on foot to proclaim Christ to the indigenous people of Peru (and beyond), where the fruits of his boundless charity are still reaped. Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo (1538-1606) was born into a noble family in Mayorga, in northern Spain. After his legal studies he became a professor of law in Salamanca and was then called to preside over the Inquisition Tribunal of Granada. Knowing his virtues, King Philip II proposed him as possible Archbishop of Lima to Gregory XIII, and in 1579 the Pope authorized the appointment of Turibius, who was then still a layman just over forty years old. The jurist took seriously the very high office to which he had been called and within a few months he was ordained priest and then consecrated bishop. At that point everything was ready for his departure to America. On 12 May 1581 Turibius took possession of the archiepiscopal see of Lima, which had been without a guide for six years and was in a situation of serious moral decadence: the Spanish viceroys intervened in ecclesiastical matters, giving rise to frequent disputes between temporal and spiritual power, while few religious intervened to correct abuses. The saint's work was instead immediately energetic, aimed at raising the Church from its subjugation. To those who justified themselves by saying “this was the custom here”, he replied: “Christ is Truth and not custom”. He had to face disputes and ordeals, but Turibius was not discouraged because he was aware of his mission: “The only one whom we must always make happy is Our Lord”.

After greetings from the archbishop of Trujillo, H.E. Msgr. Héctor Miguel Cabrejos Vidarte, O.F.M., and a couple of young people, the Pope gave an address. Following the Marian prayer, the Holy Father crowned and placed a rosary on the Virgen de la Puerta, while children brought candles and sang the litanies of the Mother of God of Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo. At the end of the Marian celebration, after the final blessing, the Pope transferred by car to “Capt.

All of the Churches recall her memory under this title in their daily Eucharistic prayers, and especially in the annual celebration of Christmas. The Virgin Mary was already venerated as Mother of God when, in 431, the Council of Ephesus acclaimed her Theotokos (God-bearer). As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is exalted, yet still one of us. Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved.
