“The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary and she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Celebration of the Solemnity of the Annunciation Monday, 7:00pm, April 8th Incarnation Catholic Church 55 Williamsburg Lane Centerville, OH 45459 map –> http://goo.gl/maps/VcfaZ God becoming man in the person of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in all of human history. God took a full share of our life, and even our death, so that we could share in His eternal life. At Mary’s acceptance of the Father’s invitation, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and became incarnate in her. By becoming one of our own family, Jesus our brother infinitely elevates the dignity of all human life, from conception through death, and into eternal life. The Knights of Columbus have proclaimed March 25th the Day of the Unborn Child, recognizing thereby the connection between the earliest life of Jesus and the beginnings of all human life. Thus, there is ample reason for great joy and celebration!

Karl Rahner's Work on the Assumption of Mary Into Heaven
Karl Rahner’s Work on the Assumption of Mary into Heaven By Mark F. Fischer, St. John’s Seminary, Camarillo [Mark F. Fischer is Professor of Theology at St. John’s Seminary, the seminary of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on Hans-Georg Gadamer and the Catholic Theology of Tradition (Berkeley: Graduate Theological Union, 1985). In 2005 he published The Foundations of Karl Rahner, a paraphrase of Rahner’s Foundations of Catholic Faith.] Abstract Karl Rahner completed his Assumptio Beatae Mariae Virginis in 1951 but did not receive permission to publish it from his Jesuit superiors. The work was only published in 2004, twenty years after Rahner’s death. This essay examines his treatise on the Assumption of Mary and the objections of the censors. The relation between the treatise and Rahner’s publication of 1947, “On the Theology of Death,” receives special attention. The shorter work was appended to the Marian treatise as an “excursus” but laid the foundation for the later work. Rahner reinterpreted the dogma of the Assumption in light of the resurrection of the dead, which the assumption of Mary’s body and soul into heaven anticipates. Among Rahner’s many speculative comments, this essay focuses on three. First, at the final resurrection, the soul (separated at death from the body) re-creates a new and glorified body as its fulfillment and perfection. Second, the glorified body expresses a metaphysical holiness that matures between the moment of death and the final judgment. And third, the resurrection of the body completes the transformation of the world as a new heaven and a new earth that began with the Incarnation.

54 Day Rosary Novena in Honor of Our Lady of Pompeii
54 Day Rosary Novena in Honor of Our Lady of Pompeii The most powerful prayer offered to Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces, to obtain extraordinary graces. As promoted by Blessed Barto Longo 1841-1926 (former satanic priest who converted to the Roman Catholic Church became a Third Order Dominican, dedicating his life to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary) Pray this first part in petition for 27 days Make a list of petitions (graces) you are asking Our Lady’s intercession for and present them to her with confidence! Put the image of the Virgin of Pompeii on display and, if possible, light a candle as a symbol of the faith which burns in your heart. Then take the Rosary beads in your hands. Before beginning the Novena, pray to St. Catherine of Siena that she may graciously deign to join you in prayer. O Saint Catherine of Siena, my Protectress and Teacher, who from Heaven assists your devotees when they recite the Rosary of Mary, come to my aid in this moment and deign to recite with me the Novena to the Queen of the Rosary, who has established the throne of her graces in the Valley of Pompeii, that through your intercession, I may obtain the grace I desire. Amen. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father... I. – O Immaculate Virgin and Queen of the Holy Rosary, in these times of dead faith and triumphant impiety you wished to establish your throne as Queen and Mother in the ancient land of Pompeii, the resting place of dead pagans.

The Role of Mary in the Work of Redemption: Seven Key Moments
The Role of Mary in the Work of Redemption: Seven Key Moments R O B E R T F ASTIGGI , P H .D. Professor of Systematic Theology , Sacred Heart Major Seminary Introduction The role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation is rooted in the mystery of the Incarnation. God chose to unite creation to himself by becom- ing incarnate ex Maria virgine.1 The eternal plan for the created cosmos, therefore, includes the Blessed Mother. The role of Mary in the economy of salvation is, therefore, not something marginal but central. In fact, the Blessed Virgin Mary is part of God’s plan from all eternity. The theology of Marian co-redemption un- folds in seven key moments: 1) Mary’s predestination as the Co-redemptrix; 2) Mary’s Immaculate Conception; 3) Mary’s free consent to be the Mother of the Word Incarnate at the Annunciation; 4) Mary’s union with her Son “in the work of salvation” from “the time of Christ’s virginal conception up to His death”;2 5) Mary’s union with Christ’s passion and her offering of her crucified Son to the Fa- ther; 6) Mary’s glorious assumption body and soul into heaven; 7) Mary’s ongoing maternal mediation of the grace with and under Christ, the one Mediator. Each of these moments deserves individual attention, but all of them combine to illuminate Mary’s essential role in the work of redemption. 1. Mary’s predestination as Mother of the Redeemer and Co- redemptrix Mary was predestined to be the Mother of the Incarnate Word.

The Five M's of Mary1 in Addition to the Four Official Teachings About
The Five M's of Mary1 In addition to the four official teachings about Mary's personal attributes that all Catholics are bound to believe as articles of faith (Mother of God, Ever Virgin, Immaculately Conceived, and Assumed into Heaven), there are other aspects of Catholic belief about Mary that are helpful in understanding her role in God's plan and her relationship to the Church. One way of remembering these truths about Mary and the Church is to think of five of her attributes that begin with the letter "M": member, model, mother, mediatrix, and messenger. The first three "M's" are mentioned in one paragraph of the chapter on Mary in the "Dogmatic Constitution of the Church" of the Second Vatican Council: Therefore, she is also hailed as a pre-eminent and altogether singular member of the Church, and as the Church's model and excellent exemplar in faith and charity. Taught by the Holy Spirit, the Catholic Church honors her with filial affection and piety as teh most beloved mother...." Mary as Member of the Church The Second Vatican Council included its discussion of Mary in the last chapter of Lumen Gentium in order to emphasize that Mary is a member, albeit "a preeminent and ...wholly unique member," of the church (see CCC 967). This attribute of Mary is a reminder that however much we might rightfully honor and exalt Mary for her response to God and for her role in God's saving plan, she remains fully human. She is not to be adored by Christians as a goddess; she is a fully human servant of God whom he has favored through his mercy and grace.

Humanity is threatened with an atomic war, with its accompany- ing suffering, misery, death and destruc- tion such as has never been seen in the entire history of mankind.

If these simple re- quests are heeded in time, World War III will be averted, the mental and spiritual ills of mankind cured, and a lasting PEACE secured. FATIMA IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR TRUE PEACE IN THE WORLD TODAY. This booklet is offered as a guide to those who wish to fulfill Our Lady's wishes.

Gambero: Patristic Intuitions Patristic Intuitions PATRISTIC INTUITIONS OF MARY'S ROLE AS MEDIATRIX AND ADVOCATE: THE INVOCATION OF THE FAITHFUL FOR HER HELP Luigi Gambero, S.M.* Faith in Mary's mediation is dependent upon the more gen eral doctrine on the role played by the Mother of God in the economy of salvation. The origins of this belief are in the earliest attempts of the Fathers of the Church and Christian writers to .reflect on the treasure of divine revelation. Mary's presence and mission were to be found in the context of the mystery of the Incarnate Word, to which she had a double relation: to the Word of God Himself (who became her Son and our Redeemer); and to us (being human like us, she shared our common lot as God's crea ture, called to communion with Him through grace and eternal life).

Missionary Families of Christ MARY in the LIFE and MISSION of MFC
Missionary Families of Christ MARY IN THE LIFE AND MISSION OF MFC MFC is consecrated to Our Lady of the Rosary (a.k.a. Our Lady of Victory). We look to our Mother Mary as the personification of and the model for living out our Core Values. Just as our Core Values function as our constant guideposts as we proceed with our life and mission, so Mary likewise is our guide. Mary is at the very core of the life and mission of the Church quietly interceding and praying. Mary is also at the very heart of our community. But also, Mary is at the forefront of the spiritual war that is raging in the world today. We as holy warriors march under the banners of our Lord and our Lady. More than ever, we would like to focus on Mary as our model for living out our life in community. She serves as our model of holiness, faith, humility, obedience, total trust in God, hope, joy and discipleship. She is our inspiration. We look to Mary as our help as she intercedes for us. We therefore need to make an effort within ourselves, our families, and our community to ensure that Mary becomes an integral part of our lives. Our children need to experience Mary in our homes. Our community needs to put Mary in a place of honor during assemblies, conferences and communal activities. We also need to always remember to call on her to intercede for our community’s needs. Practical Application in our Community Life A.
