VINCENT FERRER AUGUST 15, 2021 THE FOURTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY STEWARDSHIP OF OFFERING There was silence in Heaven as Mary entered in, for even Gabriel had not foreseen the glory of a soul immune from sin throned in the body of the angels’ Queen.

This weekend we observe one of them, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed One Faith, One Hope, One Love Campaign Update Virgin Mary. This wondrous event, which those who recite Although the 5 year campaign plan has ended for SVF, the Rosary know as the Fourth Glorious Mystery, is there are still some payments being received. Our latest described this way in the Catechism of the Catholic Church disbursement for pledge payments received between (paragraph 966): “The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is January 1 and June 30, 2021 was $4,800. Thank you for a singular participation in her Son’s Resurrection and an your commitment to your pledge and your continuing anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians” [which generosity to the historic One Faith, One Hope, One means us]. Love Archdiocesan Capital Campaign. It was on November 1, 1950 that Pope Pius XII proclaimed St. Vincent de Paul Donations for July $272.00 in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus (Most Bountiful God) the infallible doctrine that Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK and soul into heavenly glory. This is a divinely revealed dogma which all Catholics are bound to accept. Note that Monday, August 16, 2021 the word “assumption” comes from the Middle English 5:00 p.m. School meet & greet “assumpcioun” which means “a taking up into heaven”, and 8:45 p.m. Men’s basketball gym from the Latin “assumptio” which means “a taking.” Pope Pius XII’s pronouncement made official what Tuesday, August 17, 2021 Catholics around the world had believed and celebrated for 8:20 a.m. MassNChurch centuries. While some theologians have speculated about 9:00 a.m. St. Vincent De Paul mtg room B whether Mary actually experienced death, the general consensus among scholars is that she did, in fact, die. Her Wednesday, August 18, 2021 body was by nature mortal, and therefore should be, as was 7:30 a.m. School coffee/donuts the body of her Divine Son, subject to the general law of 8:20 a.m. MassNChurch death. The fact that she was conceived without the stain or 7:00 p.m. Parish Pastoral Council room B original sin, however, exempted her body from the corruption of the grave. Thursday, August 19, 2021 8:20 a.m. MassNChurch As we contemplate this sublime mystery of our Faith, let us recall these words from Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic Friday, August 20, 2021 Constitution on the Church issued by the Second Vatican 8:20 a.m. MassNChurch Council on November 21, 1964: “…[I]n a wholly singular way [Mary] cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope and Saturday, August 21, 2021 burning charity in the work of the Savior in restoring 3:304:30 p.m. Confessions Church supernatural life to souls. For this reason, she is a mother 5:00 p.m. MassNChurch to us in the order of grace.” Sunday, August 22, 2021 We will give Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI the final word: “By 9:00 a.m. Mass Church contemplating Mary in heavenly glory, we understand that 11:00 a.m. Mass Church the earth is not the definitive homeland for us either, and that if we live with our gaze fixed on eternal goods we will one day share in this same glory…” THE LIGHTER SIDE ~Bob Bell, All Saints parishioner SVF MUSIC MINISTRY NEWS The Saint Vincent Ferrer Parish Choir will restart choir rehearsals on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, and every Tuesday thereafter, beginning at 7:00 PM in church.
