Our Lady of Peace 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 October 05, 2014 Announcements Dear Parishioners, FROM OUR PASTOR This Tuesday, October 7, we will celebrate our Blessed Mother as our Lady of the Rosary. The Popes for nearly four centuries have recommended the Rosary as the best remedy for the evils afflicting society. The history of the Church bears testimony to the power of the Rosary. For example, the defeat of the Turkish forces which threatened to invade Europe in the naval battle of Lepanto in 1716, and the victories gained over the same enemy in the last century at Temesvar in Hungary are remembered by the establishment of the Feast of our Lady of Victories by Gregory XIII (1585), which Clement XI (1721) later distinguished by the title of the Holy Rosary. In our own day our Blessed Mother has appeared to the children of Fatima in Portugal and proclaimed the pressing need for prayer, especially the Rosary, if the world is to be saved from the threatening horror of an atheistic way of life. So, we could say that whenever Christianity itself seemed under threat, its deliverance was attributed to the power of the Holy Rosary, and Our Lady of the Rosary was acclaimed as the one whose intercession brought salvation. The rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christ-centered prayer. It has all the depth of the gospel message in its entirety. It is an echo of the prayer of Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb... (St. John Paul II, The Rosary of the Virgin Mary). The Blessed Virgin Mary is justly called Queen of the Most Holy Rosary because in this prayer there are presented for our contemplation the chief mysteries of our redemption, in all of which our Lady holds an important place. Pope Paul VI had already said that: Without contemplation, the Rosary is a body without a soul, and its recitation runs the risk of becoming a mechanical repetition of formulas and such affirmation was repeated by St. John Paul II in his apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae. Continuing with this idea, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI during one of his visits to the Shrine of Pompeii (2008) preached a beautiful and profound meditation on two aspects of the Rosary which I think could be very helpful for our daily recitation. He said: The Rosary is a school of contemplation and silence. At first glance, it could seem a prayer that accumulates words, therefore difficult to reconcile with the silence that is rightly recommended for meditation and contemplation. In fact, this cadent repetition of the Hail Mary does not disturb inner silence but indeed both demands and nourishes it. Similar to what happens for the Psalms when one prays the Liturgy of the Hours, the silence surfaces through the words and sentences, not as emptiness, but rather as the presence of an ultimate meaning that transcends the words themselves and through them speaks to the heart. Thus, in reciting the Hail Mary, we must be careful that our voices do not cover the voice of God who always speaks through the silence like the still small voice of a gentle breeze (1 Kgs 19: 12). Therefore it is important to foster this silence full of God, both in one s personal recitation and in its recitation with the community! Even when the Rosary is prayed, as today, by great assemblies, and as you do in this Shrine every day, it must be perceived as a contemplative prayer. And this cannot happen without an atmosphere of inner silence. If Christian contemplation cannot leave the Word of God out of consideration and, if it is to be a contemplative prayer, the Rosary must always emerge from the silence of the heart as a response to the Word, after the model of Mary s prayer. Seen clearly, the Rosary is completely interwoven with scriptural elements. May the faithful recitation of the Holy Rosary be a sign of our gratitude to Jesus and to our Heavenly Mother for all they have done for our Redemption. May the prayer of the Holy Rosary also be a means of obtaining all the graces we need for our sanctification and salvation of our souls. On the feast of our Blessed Mother, I fervently encourage you to start the habit of praying a daily rosary. God bless you all! We joyfully welcome all visitors to the Shrine!
