SANTA CLARA, CA (408) (More Contact Info:Pg. 7) OLOP-SHRINE.ORG SOCIAL OUR LADY OF PEACE CATHOLIC CHURCH & SHRINE MISSION STATEMENT Our Lady of Peace is a church and shrine dedicated to the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls. It is a place of prayer & pilgrimage with: Perpetual adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary Frequent celebration of the Sacraments, particularly the Eucharist and Reconciliation Integrated formation of the person (spiritual, moral, intellectual and emotional)

2 Page 2 Our Lady of Peace July 31st, 2016 Dear Parishioners, This Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy also entails the granting of indulgences. (Misericordiae Vultus, 22) This might be a sensitive subject, which as St. John Paul II explained has suffered historical misunderstandings that have had a negative impact on communion between Christians. [ ] Experience shows, in fact, that indulgences are sometimes received with superficial attitudes that ultimately frustrate God s gift and cast a shadow on the very truths and values taught by the Church. (General Audience, 09/29/99) His explanation is not only profound but also very clear, so I just limit myself to quote an excerpt of his words. He said: The starting-point for understanding indulgences is the abundance of God s mercy revealed in the Cross of Christ. The crucified Jesus is the great indulgence that the Father has offered humanity through the forgiveness of sins and the possibility of living as children (cf. Jn 1: 12-13) in the Holy Spirit (cf. Gal 4: 6). However, in the logic of the covenant, which is the heart of the whole economy of salvation, this gift does not reach us without our acceptance and response. In the light of this principle, it is not difficult to understand how reconciliation with God, although based on a free and abundant offer of mercy, at the same time implies an arduous process which involves the individual s personal effort and the Church s sacramental work. For the forgiveness of sins committed after Baptism, this process is centered on the sacrament of Penance, but it continues after the sacramental celebration. The person must be gradually healed of the negative effects which sin has caused in him (what the theological tradition calls the punishments and remains of sin). At first sight, to speak of punishment after sacramental forgiveness might seem inconsistent. The Old Testament, however, shows us how normal it is to undergo reparative punishment after forgiveness. God, after describing himself as a God merciful and gracious... forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, adds: yet not without punishing (Ex 34: 6-7). [ ] In this context temporal punishment expresses the condition of suffering of those who, although reconciled with God, are still marked by those remains of sin which do not leave them totally open to grace. Precisely for the sake of complete healing, the sinner is called to undertake a journey of conversion towards the fullness of love. On this pathway God s mercy comes to his aid in special ways. The temporal punishment itself serves as medicine to the extent that the person allows it to challenge him to undertake his own profound conversion. This is the meaning of the satisfaction required in the sacrament of Penance. The meaning of indulgences must be seen against this background of man s total renewal by the grace of Christ the Redeemer through the Church s ministry. They began historically with the ancient Church s awareness of being able to express the mercy of God by mitigating the canonical penances imposed for the sacramental remission of sins. The mitigation was offset, however, by personal and community obligations as a substitute for the punishment s medicinal purpose. We can now understand how an indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints (cf. Catechism of the C. C., n. 1471). There thus exists the treasury of the Church, which is dispensed as it were through indulgences. This distribution should not be understood as a sort of automatic transfer, as if we were speaking of things. It is instead the expression of the Church s full confidence of being heard by the Father [ ]. We can see, then, how indulgences, far from being a sort of discount on the duty of conversion, are instead an aid to its prompt, generous and radical fulfilment. This is required to such an extent that the spiritual condition for receiving a plenary indulgence is the exclusion of all attachment to sin, even venial sin (Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, p. 25). May God bless you all! Fr. Gustavo Nieto, IVE Announcements We joyfully welcome all visitors to the Shrine Second Collec on: St. Vincent de Paul Society Thank you for your generosity!

3 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 Dear Parishioners, It is spiritually rewarding and I am very glad to hear of your participation in all our parish activities. I really missed the Fatima Pilgrimage this past Wednesday. I m still in Rome taking part of the IVE General Chapter where new authorities for our order have been elected. And so, I have been called to serve as General Superior for our Institute for the following six years. Humanly speaking this is a very difficult task that indeed surpasses one s ability, but our Good Lord in his Mercy has disposed it this way and I trust that He will give us the graces we need to carry on and to fulfill his holy Will the best way we can. Thus, my dear Friends in Christ, I need wholeheartedly of your understanding and prayers. I will always treasure the marvelous years I spent as your pastor. How will I ever forget the beautiful things we have done together for God! You brought so much consolation to my priestly heart. I expect to return at the end of this month where we will have time to bid farewell to each other. Meanwhile, I earnestly commend myself to your prayers. I am most grateful to you for all your support, affection and the inspiring witness you give of our faith. Please, know that I hold you all very dear to my heart and that I pray for you and our dear Family of Our Lady of Peace daily. May God bless you all! Fr.

It reveals the sanity of the Catholic approach to Scripture & shows how critics who attack supposed contradictions are missing the mark. This book should be required reading for every Christian who takes the Bible seriously. 30% off Featured Fiction: Iota, T.M. Doran (reg. $17.95) Iota is a plunge into the darkest waters of human motivation and character. Set in a political prison at the end of World War II, the story of the cage is also a metaphor for the imprisonment of minds and souls in various forms of unbelief. It is ultimately about redemption, sacrifice, and mercy.
