RELICS OF THE PASSION In alignment with the Holy Father s declaration of a Year of Mercy, we are pleased to present a unique opportunity for our community to discover the meaning of God s Mercy, as given to us via His Passion. The Relics of the Passion program is being brought to us as part of a special nationwide tour by the Apostolate for Holy Relics. The holy and sacred objects that they have brought here for us are something that most of us would only have a once in a lifetime opportunity to see once when visiting Rome or the Holy Land. Please join us for this special program that highlights a collection of rare relics from the Passion of our Lord from the Last Supper to the Resurrection, with prayer, music, reflection, and an opportunity for personal veneration. The program will be held here at St. Columbanus Church on July 25, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. The program will also be given in English/ Spanish at Church of the Assumption in Peekskill on July 27, 2016 at 7:00 p.m.
JULY 17, 2016 ST. COLUMBANUS CHURCH_ #481/PAGE 4 OUR LADY OF FATIMA STATUE We welcome Joe Quattrocchi of Good Counsel Homes. I hope all will be generous in helping pregnant women and their children. I also hope he will receive a better reception than our prolife posters in the back of the church that have been defaced. This sick act is representative of the evil culture we live in. We continue with the fourth installment of the letter by ROBERT CARDINAL SARAH, from Guinea is Prefect of the Congregation for the Divine Worship on the Mass: The hour has come to listen to the Council. The liturgy is above all things the worship of the divine majesty ( 33). It can form and teach us only insofar as it is completely ordered to divine worship and the glorification of God. The liturgy truly places us in the presence of divine transcendence. True participation means the renewal in us of that amazement that St. John Paul II held in such high regard (cf. Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 6). This sacred amazement, this joyous reverence, requires our silence before the divine majesty. We often forget that sacred silence is one of the means indicated by the Council to foster participation. If the liturgy is the work of Christ, is it necessary for the celebrant to interject his own comments? We must remember that when the Missal authorizes commentary, this must not become a worldly, human discourse, a more or less subtle pronouncement on current events, or a banal greeting to those present, but rather a very brief exhortation to enter into the mystery (cf. General Introduction of the Roman Missal, 50). In Jesus and Mary, Fr. Frank Samoylo Next year is the 100th anniversary of the Blessed Mother s apparition to the 3 children at Fatima. At that time, Our Lady told the children to pray the Rosary daily and offer sacrifices for sinners. If her requests were fulfilled, the war would end and sinners would be converted. St. Columbanus Parish has a statute of the Pilgrim Virgin, Our Lady of Fatima. We hope you and your family will open your hearts and welcome the statue into your home to pray the Rosary with family and friends. To set up a date, or for more information, please call Bobbi at 914-737-1416, or Ann at 914-402- 4374.
