Whosoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces. 2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. 3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies. 4. It will cause good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire for Eternal Things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. 5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish. 6. Whosoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of Eternal Life. 7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. Cont. inside

4 St. Cecilia Parish Bainbridge Island + KNOW OUR CATHOLIC FAITH + THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH II. THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS IN THE ECONOMY OF SALVATION Two participations in the one priesthood of Christ Christ, high priest and unique mediator, has made of the Church "a kingdom, priests for his God and Father." The whole community of believers is, as such, priestly. The faithful exercise their baptismal priesthood through their participation, each according to his own vocation, in Christ's mission as priest, prophet, and king. Through the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation the faithful are "consecrated to be... a holy priesthood." The ministerial or hierarchical priesthood of bishops and priests, and the common priesthood of all the faithful participate, "each in its own proper way, in the one priesthood of Christ." While being "ordered one to another," they differ essentially. In what sense? While the common priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace a life of faith, hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit the ministerial priesthood is at the service of the common priesthood. It is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians. The ministerial priesthood is a means by which Christ unceasingly builds up and leads his Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its own sacrament, the sacrament of Holy Orders. CCC OUR LADY'S 15 PROMISES FOR PRAYING THE ROSARY (continued) 8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the Light of God and the plenitude of His Graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the Merits of the Saints in Paradise. 9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. 10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of Glory in Heaven. 11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by recitation of the Rosary. 12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. 13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death. 14. All who recite the Rosary are my Sons, and brothers of my Only Son Jesus Christ. 15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. Reminder: these promises mean that, by faithfully and devoutly praying the Rosary, Our Lady will obtain for us the necessary Graces to obtain said promises. It is still up to each individual soul to respond to those Graces in order to obtain salvation. LEGION OF MARY Come learn more about the love and goodness of Mary for our salvation. Legion of Mary meets every Monday at 2:00 p.m. in the church choir room. All are welcome

5 The Most Holy Trinity June 15 th 2014 PARISH & COMMUNITY EVENTS We offer a big Thank you to the following photographers for recent photographs included in our Parish Bulletin: First Communion photography credit, thank you for use of this photograph to Erica Mendez Photographer. Saint Cecilia School Eight Grade Graduates photo credit, thank you to Brad Camp of Olympic Photo Group ADORATION The Beloved Holy Hour. Are you wondering what a "St. John the Beloved Holy Hour" entails? Is quite simple: in His Eucharistic Presence, for one hour, simply spiritually rest your head on His Sacred Heart. Many times when we approach prayer we try to leave the "stuff of life" at the door. But that is not how I suggest to approach Holy Hour. As you are there in the silence, listen to the beating of His Sacred Heart, as St. John did. Relate to Him all that is in your heart. Then just listen to His Heart, receive the love of the Sacred Heart into your own heart. Allow Him to heal what is wounded, to lift the burdens to give rest to any weariness. My hope is that once you experience the deep joy that comes from a "St. John the Beloved Holy Hour", once just won't be enough! (Fr. Joseph M. Wolfe. MFVA) FLOWERS FROM THE HEART We gladly welcome donations of freshly cut flowers. Flowers can be dropped off and placed in the buckets, located at the door of Eagle Harbor Congregational Church, starting June 2 until August 29th (Monday through Friday, up until 11:30am).

7 THE FRUGAL CATHOLIC by Martha Wild King (May 2014) INTO MARY S HANDS Raised as a Protestant/Evangelical Christian, I didn t know Mary well. She was NEVER once called Blessed. No sermons were preached about her. She was only the pale plastic figure in the manger scene at Christmas time. Yet, secretly--frequently--i spoke with her When we lived in Connecticut in the 90 s, I d walk and pray while holding my plastic Rosary before the four children arose. I d pour out my prayers as I hiked through the snow; each child receiving one decade of prayers leaving the last decade for my pleas to God. Thus that Rosary became my tangible prayer partner for a mother whose submariner husband was at sea 70%. Now as a confirmed Catholic in 2009, that Blessed Mother is my own, since our Lord Jesus gave us His mother on The Cross. John 19:26 explains, When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, He said, Woman, behold your son! Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour, the disciple took her to his home. (RSVCE) My Blessed Mother was The First Disciple of Jesus, and she teaches me how to be His disciple too. In Luke 1:43, Elizabeth felt her son John the Baptist leap in her womb upon hearing Mary s voice and said, And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Instead of blogging about the experience of heaven meeting earth in her womb, Mary simply pondered all these things in her heart and accepted God s will. This acceptance means that no matter what trials she would undergo in the 7 future, she was ready to unite her suffering with her Son for the redemption of the world. Moreover, because she suffered, she understands my burdens. By knowing my Blessed Mother, I have a prayer warrior in combat boots praying for me 24/7. She has overcome the enemy and reigns with her beloved Son in Heaven. And she said in her last spoken words in The Bible when Jesus changed the wedding feast water into wine, Do whatever he tells you. John 2:5. She only points to Him. By knowing my Blessed Mother, my prayers are placed into the hands of the one who touched and kissed the face of God. Into Mary s hands means you and I can place our immediate troubles into those praying hands that held and kissed the tiny hands of Jesus as he pulled at her garment for the warmth and sustenance of her milk and into whose grown hands would be thrust the nails of our sins. She gave Him her milk of life as He would, in turn, give us eternal life. So as a Catholic, I now have a heavenly prayer advocate, My Blessed Mother, as she herself says in Luke 1:48, behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. When I came into the Church in 2009, my Baptist friend, Cindy, questioned, How can you call Mary Holy? Only Jesus is Holy. What I sadly realize now is how thoroughly the devil has removed Mary from the spiritual arsenal of Protestants. Isn t that a brilliant plan? Make Protestants wary of the one who gave us our Lord. But as Jesus says in John 8:32, Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Praise God that the Church Christ gave us, The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church honors His Blessed Mother as much as He does. And it is through that honor that you and I have such a prayer warrior. So precious reader, do you talk to Your Blessed Mother? Do you lay into her tender touch your deepest disquiets? Do you assign unto her fingers your longings and dreams? Do you give unto her hands your failures which still have hope in the corners of your heart? If not, then ask her to pray, and watch what happens
