Marian Centre (WA) Marian Centre PO Box 60 HILLARYS 6923 Marian Centre (WA) Marian Centre PO Box 60 HILLARYS 6923 NEWSLETTER Phone: 9447 9819 9245 2222 NO: 106 DECEMBER 2006 Greetings in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, AMDG 13/10/06 Last June, I had the privilege of participating in my first annual retreat with Fr Gobbi in Collevalenza, Italy, which was held at the renowned Shrine of the Merciful Love located in the mountains of Perugia, close to Assisi. This year’s attendance was reported as one of the largest ever: 300 members representing 50 countries from the 5 Continents. Among those present were two cardinals: Cardinal Ignace Daoud, Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches and Cardinal Ivan Dias, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples. There were also 19 archbishops and bishops from 10 different countries. Despite his advancing years and medical problems, Fr Gobbi was in very good spirits with great enthusiasm, he delivered four very inspiring talks. Towards the end of the week, Fr Gobbi gave a talk during which he became especially animated. He emphasized the following very important points: 1. The spirit of the Antichrist is already at our doorstep. 2. We can see from the events – what is going on in the Church and in the world – that the times have arrived! 3. And the following he delivered with particular fervency: “The time for projects is over…now is the time for prayer! Pray, pray, pray!!! Fr Gobbi again reiterated his plea to “Multiply your cenacles”! Unfortunately, because of his advancing age and fatigue, he is no longer able to ravel long distances to conduct cenacles. He wants all of us, however, to continue persevering in our cenacles. Encourage as many as possible to join you, and branch out to form new ones. Our prayer in the cenacle is so very important in these crucial times. Cardinal Dias holds the Marian Movement of Priests in high regard, and as Cardinal Archbishop of Bombay, he is an ardent promoter of the MMP and the cenacles. After he consecrated his Archdiocese to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, many other bishops from India, encouraged by his leadership, did likewise for their respective dioceses. Our Blessed Mother is making great advances throughout the world Fr Gobbi also reaffirmed his confidence in having Benedict XVI as our Pope to guide us through these difficult times for the Church and the entire world. Please continue to support him with your prayers and sacrifices. Please do not abandon your cenacles. Believe Fr Gobbi when he says that they are needed now more than ever. Our Pope and all bishops and priests desperately need our loving and spiritual support which we render them by means of our prayers. One need only listen to the news to realize how necessary these cenacles are for the welfare and protection of the Church and its people. Spread them among priests, the faithful, children and in families. They are the lightning rod that will protect us from the attacks of the Evil One, that our own spiritual transformation is taking place. You will soon understand that, by means of them, Our Lady is preparing us to receive Jesus when He returns in glory. He will come again to transform all of creation into new heavens and a renewed earth where there will be no more sin, no more suffering and where God’s love and justice will reign fully. It will be another paradise on earth, only more beautiful than the first. Jesus will submit all creation to Himself and present it to the Father as His gift of love for Him. Prepare yourselves, because the victory is close at hand. The more this motherly triumph of mine comes about in the hearts and souls of my children in ever increasing numbers, the more the chastisement is put off by you, and the more Jesus can pour out upon the world the torrents of His divine mercy.” (473-k, May 13, 1992) The rosary which we pray in the cenacles is truly a powerful weapon, say it as often as possible and know that it will be the chain that will bind Satan and cast him into the abyss. Keep one with you at all times – in your pocket, your purse, your car, your workplace. Clasp it in the evening before going to sleep, and commence praying upon waking in the morning. It is also a powerful means to keep your thoughts pure. The cenacle must remain simple so that, in the respectful silence of our prayers, the Blessed Mother can work to transform us into images of her Son Jesus. During this annual retreat with our brother priests, we also learn that each of us is carrying a heavy cross as we march forward in this labour of love, bringing Our Lady’s messages to her children who are hungering and thirsting for comfort and solace in an oftentimes cold and lonely world our Mother covers all of her little ones with her mantle and gives them what they need to continue on…sometimes it is only a simple word or phrase form her messages that constitutes that one single drop of nourishment which they need to be rejuvenated. Let us, therefore, never take her precious words for granted, and let us make it our goal to share them with others who are so desperately in need of this heavenly support. As Apostles of these Last Times, we must never shirk the responsibility she has given us of making these messages known to all. And when we feel that the cross is too heavy to bear, let us get into the habit of gazing upon a crucifix for a few minutes…we will immediately feel our own crosses quite miniscule by comparison. And let us offer these sufferings to Our Lady who will immediately transform them into joy. Meditate upon Jesus’ agony and crucifixion, knowing that He died for us and realizing that, by carrying our crosses valiantly, we are assisting Him in his work of redemption. What an awesome thought…that we are co-redeemers with Christ! A listening ear, one kind word, a gesture of kindness…these can sometimes make a world of difference and could well be the small spark that gives the downtrodden and despairing the impetus to take that next tiny step forward. Jesus did not ask us to do this alone…we need each other. If you can’t be there in person, then pick up the phone and let your voices radiate the love of Jesus and Mary. Mother Teresa always said that often the most precious thing we can share with each other is a smile. Cardinal Dias said at the retreat: “Keep your humour up and the Devil will go away, he does not like happy people.” The devil has no stronghold over someone who does not let discouragement take hold of them. Be not afraid…keep up the faith, share this faith and love with others, and don’t forget to smile! May the Lord bless you and all your loved ones, and may Our Blessed Mother take you by the hand and guide you to her Son Jesus. Peace and Blessing Fr Andrew Grace – Wagga Wagga Diocese in Australia This report was adapted form Rev. Albert G. Roux’s who is the National Director of the MMP in the USA. SUNDAY, A DAY FOR FAMILY It is good that Fathers‟ Day is celebrated on a Sunday, because Sunday should be a family day for parents and young children in particular. I still prefer a roast for Sunday lunch, although we always called it dinner 55 years ago. Beef or lamb is still my choice. I love spaghetti, but not for the main course on Sunday. As a young child there was a regular ritual for our Sunday morning. Everyone, except Dad who was not a Catholic, went to Mass and then came home for a “Catholic hour” of beer, hot scones, often with the local relatives, before we sat down for a late midday meal. It was a different age, where strong loving parents often exercised greater influence than they do today. There was less competition; no TV or internet. I had parents who loved me and I never realized how fortunate I was with them until I was an adult and saw how many, children suffer from a bad parent. Fathers‟ Day is for thanking, helping and healing fathers whose role is more vital and difficult than ever. Children, in particular, can be great teachers for their father, creating warmth in relationships, giving and thereby evoking love; returning something and sometimes more than they have received. Fathers have a unique social and biological influence on their children, as good fathers help reduce anti-social behaviour and delinquency in boys and early sexual activity in girls. On a number of occasions I have seen how young women who were loved by a good father will marry a man like him. Boys, in particular, learn from their fathers where the boundaries are, how they should assess and mange risk-taking behaviours. An American priest friend of mine has claimed that too many people today want God to be like a grandfather, rather than a father, i.e. a gentle, undemanding and supportive presence in the background. More is required of a father than this, because the father should be a focus of effective authority for his children, a practical support for the civilizing work of his wife and the mother of his children. A good father loves his wife.

Translated from the Japanese by Francis Mathy, 1997 (An article from Francis Britto’s All about Francis Xavier) (1) NOBORICHO n June of 1945 I moved from the novitiate at Nagatsuka, on the outskirts of Hiroshima, where we Jesuits who were still in studies had been sent when the bombing of Tokyo I became very severe, to our church in the middle of the city. I had a boil on a finger of my right hand that would not heal and I had to go almost every day to the clinic of Dr. Fujii, which was near the church. At that time the church at Noboricho was an old Meiji-style Japanese building. In front of it stood five pine trees. It had once immediately faced the street, but when Fr. Weisenfels built the new priests’ residence, he had moved the church to its present location further into the compound. On the left side of the building was a rather spacious chapel with a matted floor; on the right, rooms for teaching catechism, where in 1941 Fr. La Salle began the kindergarten of Our Lady. (The partitions between the right and left sides and between the rooms on the right side could all be opened to make the church larger on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter.) Soon after Fr. Ogihara had come to replace Bishop Ross as head of the Okayama-Hiroshima Diocese, he had had a small tower built on the roof of the church.

  • In Fatima on the 8Th Day of the Novena
    The Message of Fatima 100th Anniversary – 2017 1914-Apparition At 7 years old I (Lucia) began tending our flock of sheep. One day as we (Lucia & some friends) saw for the 1st time a figure that had a human shape, whiter than snow and which the sun turned transparent. This apparition recurred twice again without manifesting itself and always suspended in the air, over the wood at the bottom of the “Cabezo.” When questioned by her mother, “As I did not know how to explain clearly and to free myself from questions, I replied that it looked like someone wrapped in a very white sheet.” 1st 1916 Apparition of the Angel After quickly praying the rosary Lucia dos Santos with cousins Francisco & Jacinta Marto started to play a game. “We were feeding our flocks in a property belonging to my parents called “Chousa Velha,” which lies at the bottom of a hill called “Cabezo,” on the east side. It was there that the Angel appeared to us for the 1st time in the form of a youth, as white as snow, shining more brightly then the sun and as transparent as crystal. We began to see this light coming towards us and thus we gradually distinguished the features. We were taken by surprise and being half bewildered we did not say a word. On reaching us he said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me!” And kneeling down, he bowed his forehead to the ground and made us repeat these words three times: My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I beg pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.” “Pray thus.

  • On August 6, 1945 a B29 Bomber Dropped an Atom-Bomb On
    On August 6, 1945 a B29 bomber dropped an Atom-bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Around 80,000 people died almost instantly, and another 130,000 died later from their wounds and radiation sickness. But just eight blocks away from ground zero – about a kilometer – there was a Catholic church staffed by German Jesuit priests who had been allowed to stay in the country during the war because Germany was an ally of Imperial Japan. The bomb obliterated the church building and all the other buildings of the area – except for the rectory in which the eight Jesuits were staying. Fr. Hubert Schiffer told what happened. As he was sitting down to a meal, “Suddenly a terrific explosion filled the air with one bursting thunder-strike. An invisible force lifted me from the chair, hurled me through the air, shook me, battered me, whirled me round and round like a leaf in a great autumn wind.” Fr. Schiffer says the next thing he knew he opened his eyes and he was lying on the ground. When he looked out on the world there was nothing standing in any direction. But, in what is known as the Marian miracle of Hiroshima, these priests not only all survived the bomb, the most they suffered was a few cuts from flying window glass. Even more strange, none of them ever suffered from any radiation sickness. They lived to ripe old age. Scientists examined them repeatedly over the years but could not explain how these men walked away from an Atom-bomb. A similar thing happened three days later, on August 9, 1945, in Nagasaki, when the second atom-bomb was dropped.

ROGATE! FIAT ! “May the Divine Will always be blessed!” Newsletter No. 123 – August 6, A.D. 2012 “The Word of God is the Power of God and the Power of God is Love” The Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. As they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what rising from the dead meant. Mk 9:2-10 1 The Transfiguration The word transfiguration comes into English from the Latin word transfiguratio, from the passive perfect participle transfiguratus that St.
