I am the Angel of Peace, said the figure, who appeared to them two more times that year exhorting them to accept the sufferings that the Lord allowed them to undergo as an act of reparation for the sins which offend Him, and to pray constantly for the conversion of sinners. )continued on page 2) األحد السادس المراة الكنعانية البطريرك لويس روفائيل ساكو من صبرظفر كل الشفاءات هي ثمرة اللقاء بيسوع الن هلل عالقة مع األشخاص وليس إلها نظريا.. انه إله إبراهيم واسحق ويعقوب كما يقول الكتاب المقدس ونكرر ذلك في طقسنا للقداس انه إله التالميذ والمرضى والفقراء يصف اإلنجيلي متى وضع المرأة اليونانية الوثنية البعيدة الديانة اليهودية هناك عقبة كبرى في العالقة بين المسيحيين من أصل يهودي المتمسكين بالتقاليد اليهودية والمسيحيين من أصل وثني.. لكن االنجيل يظهر شمولية المسيح باستقباله لها وتلبية طلبها. عاطفة المرأة قوية تجاه ابنتها مثل والد الطفل المصروع في األحد الماضي.. امرأة من األمم وليست من الشعب المختار سمعت عن يسوع تأتي وتصرخ وراءه بإلحاح.. ابنتي.. ارحمني.. وعندما تدخل التالميذ ليصرفها ولم يبال بقيت واثقة من أنها ستحصل على العون. وتركع عند قدميه وتدعوه" يا رب" اشفي ابنتي. والحوار الذي دار بينها وبين يسوع حوار يربي وينشئ: دعي أوال البنين )أي اليهود( يشبعون وال ينبغي ان نرمي خبز البنين للكالب )اليهود كانوا يدعون الوثنيين كالبا(. المرأة لم تتأثر بهذا الكالم بل تجيب بثقة وعزم وقوة: نعم يا رب لكن صغار الكالب تأكل أيضا من فتات البنين. جوابها وشجاعتها اثارا بعمق إعجاب يسوع وهدمت الحواجز كما فعل مع زكا العشار والمرأة الخاطئة وآخرين.. فكان رده لها: اذهبي فقد شفيت ابنتك. جواب يهز المشاعر. والعبرة: الخالص ال يقتصر على شعب واحد انما يشمل كل الناس يسوع هو لهم المخلص. والمشاركة في خبز األبناء خبز االفخارستيا- مفتوحة لجميع المؤمنين. لذا علينا ان نكون منفتحين على الكل ونستقبل الكل ونصغي اليهم ونقدم لهم المسيح الرب. 1 Mother of God Church Berg Road, Southfield, MI 48033
2 THE GOOD NEWS (continued from page 1) Then, on the 13th day of the month of Our Lady, May 1917, an apparition of a woman all in white, more brilliant than the sun presented itself to the three children saying Please don t be afraid of me, I m not going to harm you. Lucia asked her where she came from and she responded, I come from Heaven. The woman wore a white mantle edged with gold and held a rosary in her hand. The woman asked them to pray and devote themselves to the Holy Trinity and to say the Rosary every day, to bring peace to the world and an end to the war. She also revealed that the children would suffer, especially from the unbelief of their friends and families, and that the two younger children, Francisco and Jacinta would be taken to Heaven very soon but Lucia would live longer in order to spread her message and devotion to the Immaculate Heart. In the last apparition the woman revealed her name in response to Lucia s question: I am the Lady of the Rosary. That same day, 70,000 people had turned out to witness the apparition, following a promise by the woman that she would show the people that the apparitions were true. They saw the sun make three circles and move around the sky in an incredible zigzag movement in a manner which left no doubt in their minds about the veracity of the apparitions. By 1930 the Bishop had approved of the apparitions and they have been approved by the Church as authentic. The messages Our Lady imparted during the apparitions to the children concerned the violent trials that would afflict the world by means of war, starvation, and the persecution of the Church and the Holy Father in the twentieth century if the world did not make reparation for sins. She exhorted the Church to pray and offer sacrifices to God in order that peace may come upon the world, and that the trials may be averted. Our Lady of Fatima revealed three prophetic secrets, the first two of which were revealed earlier and refer to the vision of hell and the souls languishing there, the request for an ardent devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the prediction of the Second World War, and finally the prediction of the immense damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communist totalitarianism. The third secret was not revealed until the year 2000, and referred to the persecutions that humanity would undergo in the last century: The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated'. The suffering of the popes of the 20th century has been interpreted to include the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in 1981, which took place on May 13, the 64th anniversary of the apparitions. The Holy Father attributed his escape from certain death to the intervention of Our Lady:... it was a mother's hand that guided the bullet's path and in his throes the Pope halted at the threshold of death. What is the central meaning of the message of Fatima? Nothing different from what the Church has always taught: it is, as Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict the XVI, has put it, the exhortation to prayer as the path of salvation for souls and, likewise, the summons to penance and conversion. Perhaps the most well known utterance of the apparition of Our Lady at Fatima was her confident decalaration that My Immaculate Heart will triumph. Cardinal Ratzinger has interpreted this utterance as follows: The Heart open to God, purified by contemplation of God, is stronger than guns and weapons of every kind. The fiat of Mary, the word of her heart, has changed the history of the world, because it brought the Saviour into the world because, thanks to her Yes, God could become man in our world and remains so for all time. The Evil One has power in this world, as we see and experience continually; he has power because our freedom continually lets itself be led away from God. But since God himself took a human heart and has thus steered human freedom towards what is good, the freedom to choose evil no longer has the last word. From that time forth, the word that prevails is this: In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world (Jn 16:33). The message of Fatima invites us to trust in this promise. 2

4 THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PART ONE THE PROFESSION OF FAITH SECTION TWO THE PROFESSION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH CHAPTER THREE I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT ARTICLE 9 "I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH" Paragraph 3. THE CHURCH IS ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC I. THE CHURCH IS ONE holiness of life, along with public and private prayer for the unity of Christians, should be regarded as the soul of the whole ecumenical movement, and merits the name 'spiritual ecumenism;"' 282 -fraternal knowledge of each other; ecumenical formation of the faithful and especially of priests; dialogue among theologians and meetings among Christians of the different churches and communities; collaboration among Christians in various areas of service to mankind. 286 "Human service" is the idiomatic phrase. Toward unity 820 "Christ bestowed unity on his Church from the beginning. This unity, we believe, subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose, and we hope that it will continue to increase until the end of time." 277 Christ always gives his Church the gift of unity, but the Church must always pray and work to maintain, reinforce, and perfect the unity that Christ wills for her. This is why Jesus himself prayed at the hour of his Passion, and does not cease praying to his Father, for the unity of his disciples: "That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us,... so that the world may know that you have sent me." 278 The desire to recover the unity of all Christians is a gift of Christ and a call of the Holy Spirit Certain things are required in order to respond adequately to this call: - a permanent renewal of the Church in greater fidelity to her vocation; such renewal is the driving-force of the movement toward unity; conversion of heart as the faithful "try to live holier lives according to the Gospel"; 281 for it is the unfaithfulness of the members to Christ's gift which causes divisions; - prayer in common, because "change of heart and 822 Concern for achieving unity "involves the whole Church, faithful and clergy alike." 287 But we must realize "that this holy objective - the reconciliation of all Christians in the unity of the one and only Church of Christ - transcends human powers and gifts." That is why we place all our hope "in the prayer of Christ for the Church, in the love of the Father for us, and in the power of the Holy Spirit." II THE CHURCH IS HOLY 823 "The Church... is held, as a matter of faith, to be unfailingly holy. This is because Christ, the Son of God, who with the Father and the Spirit is hailed as 'alone holy,' loved the Church as his Bride, giving himself up for her so as to sanctify her; he joined her to himself as his body and endowed her with the gift of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God." 289 The Church, then, is "the holy People of God," 290 and her members are called "saints." United with Christ, the Church is sanctified by him; through him and with him she becomes sanctifying. "All the activities of the Church are directed, as toward their end, to the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God." 292 It is in the Church that "the fullness of the means of salvation" 293 has been deposited. It is in her that "by the grace of God we acquire holiness." 294
