Rev. Canon Olivier Meney Episcopal Delegate for the Extraordinary Form of the in the Diocese of Oakland

Canon Meney - (510) 604-0391 or [email protected]

YOU ARE AT SAINT MARGARET MARY HUB OF THE LATIN MASS LITURGY IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

The Traditional Latin Mass (now called by the Holy Father: Mass in the Extraordinary Form) is brought to you through the ministry of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. WHAT IS THE INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST? The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right whose goal is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the ser- vice of the Church and souls. Its specific aim is missionary: to spread the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ in all spheres of human life. Our work is carried out under the patronage of the , to Whom the Institute is consecrated.

Recognizing the importance of a deep harmony between faith, liturgy, life, and the power of beauty in attracting the human senses to the things above, an integral part of the Institute’s charism is the use of the traditional Latin Liturgy of 1962 for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the other sacraments. Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of the central role of Grace, especially Charity – these are essential elements of the Institute’s spirituality, which is drawn from its three co-patrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Francis de Sales. Our motto is “Live the truth in charity." The Institute operates in more than fifty places in twelve countries, where our priests focus on the care of souls in many different ways. To assist our priests in their apostolic work, the Institute also has clerical oblates. In 2004, a community of religious sisters was canonically established to aid the priests in their mis- sion through prayer and apostolic work. The Institute was founded in 1990 by Monsignor Gilles Wach. Today, the motherhouse and international seminary of the Institute is located in Gricigliano, in the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy. The Institute serves the faithful of the Bay since 2005 at St. Margaret Mary in Oakland and at Five Wounds in San Jose (Mass at 12:30 pm on Sunday, 12:15 pm on Weekdays but Sat. at 7:30 am)

(Continued from page 3) Love is best understood when seen in its per-

Applied to marriage, †John Chorazyczewski† love is first mutual self-giving, for love's greatest joy (donated by Jeanne Decker) is to gird its loins and serve, to diffuse itself without †Deceased members of Kelly & Becker Families† loss or separation.

Continuation on the Easter Candle

The Easter Candle is a sacramental representation of the Risen Christ. The traditional blessing of the candle shows the importance of it. At each baptism the candle is lit, From its fire the little candle of the new Catholic is ignited with the admonishment to keep the Grace of God lighted in their souls. In the Old Rite of the Church the Easter Candle is not used for funerals. The Easter Candle is lit for each Mass until Ascension (It is logically extinguished as the Gospel is read. Christ ascending to Heaven is hidden again from our sight) The Cross of Notre Dame of Paris and the Easter Candle of SMM

As the candle was still in the making we heard the ter- rible news about the fire raging in Notre Dame and we saw with great sadness the spire fall…. The cross of it being engulfed in flames… In homage and a sign of hope, the pattern of the Cross that oversaw the City of France has been reproduced in

Cross of the burn spire of Notre Dame de Paris Text of the Blessing of the Candle

O God, who through Thy Son, the corner stone, hast bestowed on the faithful the fire of Thy glory, sanctify this new fire produced from a flint that it may be profitable to us: and grant that by this paschal festi- val we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires, that with pure minds we may come to the feast of perpetu- al light. Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen O Lord God, almighty Father, unfailing light, who are the Creator of all light, bless this light that is blessed and sanctified by Thee, who hast enlightened the whole world: that we may be inflamed with that light and enlightened by the fire of Thy glory: and as Thou didst give light to Moses when he went out of Egypt, so enlighten our hearts and senses, that we may deserve to arrive at light and life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. O my holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God: vouchsafe to cooperate with us, who bless this fire in Thy name, and in that of Thy only-begotten Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, and of the Holy Ghost: help us against the fiery darts of the enemy, and enlighten us with Thy heavenly grace. Who livest and … R. Amen. May the abundant infusion of Thy blessing descend upon this incense, we be- seech Thee, almighty God: and do Thou, O invisible regenerator, lighten this nocturnal splendour, that not only the sacrifice that is offered this night may shine by the secret mixture of Thy light: but also into whatsoever place anything of this mysterious blessing shall be brought, there the power of Thy majesty may be present and all the malice of
