We dare offer here several points for study and reflection in the hope they will help one better appreciate the meaning of the Fatima message: While many Fatima devotees know the salient aspects of Our Lady s message and the various events surrounding the apparitions, certain details or nuances could yet be overlooked. We dare offer here several points for study and reflection in the hope they will help one better appreciate the meaning of the Fatima message: 6. Modifications to the five First Saturday devotion to facilitate its practice The original request of Our Lady asks one to confess and receive Communion on five consecutive first Saturdays; to say five decades of the Rosary; to meditate during 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Rosary for the purpose of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in reparation for the sins of humanity. In subsequent private visions and apparitions however, Sister Lucia presented to Our Lord the difficulties that devotees encountered in fulfilling some conditions. With loving condescension and solicitude, Our Lord deigned to relax the rules to make this devotion easy to observe: a. Confession may be done on other days other than the First Saturday so long as one receives Our Lord worthily and has the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. b. Even if one forgets to make the intention, it may be done on the next confession, taking advantage of the first occasion to go to confession. c. Sister Lucia also clarified that it is not necessary to meditate on ALL mysteries of the Rosary on each First Saturday. One or several suffice. d. With much latitude granted by Our Lord Himself, there is no reason for the faithful to hesitate or delay this pious practice in the spirit of reparation which the Immaculate Heart of Mary urgently asks. 7. Reasons for the five First Saturdays devotion Devotions have intentions attached to them and knowing them adds merit and weight to the practice. The five first Saturdays correspond to the five kinds of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They are: a. blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception b. blasphemies against her virginity c. blasphemies against her divine maternity, at the same time the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all d. instilling indifference, scorn and even hatred towards this Immaculate Mother in the hearts of children e. direct insults against her sacred images 8. A greater miracle denied Sister Lucia revealed later in her life that the miracle of the sun could have been greater had the children not been abducted by Arthur Oliveira Santos, the cruel and conniving administrator of the Administrative Council of Vila Nova de Ourém. She originally expressed this remarkable detail in the interrogation done by Father Manuel Marques Ferreira on August 21, 1917 two days after the apparition but which she left out in her 1941 report. Here is a fitting example of a transgression committed against the wishes of Our Lady which she left unpunished. Though no fault of the children, it is lamentably sad to note that the multitudes at Fatima on the afternoon of October 13, 1917 were deprived of a far greater miracle if not for the deception, trickery and malice of civil authorities.

By telling the stories of His life, we remember how much He means to us. THE FAITH FORMATION OFFICE IS CLOSED MONDAY. Tuesday, May 30 th, 7pm in the West Hall, Catholics in Conversation. Catholics in Conversation is a four week program. The topic for discussion is HOMOSEXUALITY and the Church. The program integrates the writings of noted theologians, relevant Church documents and the life experiences so the participants can move into a conversation, a dialogue, among mature Catholics. The four consecutive weekly meetings will build on each other as participants explore issues and engage together with the intention of understanding. Dates: May 30 th, June, 6 th, June, 13 th, June 20 th. Time: 7pm Location: West Hall For more information, please contact the Office of Faith Formation, (805) 526-0680 Please log on to the website and register for Missions of Mercy! June Missions of Mercy/Together We Serve! June 23, 24 and 25, 2017 Have a great last few weeks of the school year, and we will see everybody for our first summer session on Monday, June 26 th! Next Sunday, June 4 th, is the Feast of Pentecost and our annual parish picnic. Everyone is invited to come to Mass wearing red in celebration of the Holy Spirit, or ethnic dress in celebration of the diversity of the universal church. The parish picnic will follow our festive multilingual Noon Mass with free food, games, music, and more until 4pm come and join the fun!
Page Six St. Peter Claver He was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. ~ Acts 1:9 To enhance our Pentecost celebration, we invite everyone to wear clothing from your native country or something red to Mass next weekend. Next Saturday, June 3rd at 11am, a special Mass and Anointing of the Sick will be held for seniors and those in poor health. The Anointing of the Sick is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived. If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person s condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced. Please pray for the health of Maribel Felix; Joseph Rosenbloom; Alejandro Turla; Retta Cantacessi; Natali Wilde; Ronald Bensky; Kathy Bowman; Walter Swiacki; Phyllis Sherin; (child) Morgen Vandelinder; Christine Villanueva; Enrique Arrellano; Raymundo Tualla; Doug Taft; David Gesell; Olivia Torres; Vern Boespflug; Armando Perez; Glenn Porter; Carmelita Tumbucon; Carol Acker; Rene Espinoza; Gliceria Evangelista; David Lehr; Bridget and Irwin Wakcher; Roy Bustamante; Frank Cesario; Dana Freund; Jim Womack; Justin Warn; Sherri Egan; Beverly Grimes; Linda Lynch; Bradley Sharp; Erick M., Jacob A., and Cecilia Frances; Diane Hazlewood; Marie Fardig; Bud Upper; Carla Maria Molina; Dave Morley; Kenny Bond; Gary Savas; Arlen Handberg; (child) Hazel Hammersley; Mary Jane Wickman; LaVonne Emerson; James Yncera; Charles Leo; Sheana Green; Deann Glynn; Dan Lang; Joe Ortega; Dan Boland; Catherine Capaldi; Gregg Cassity; Virginia Dalcoe; Vera Barker; Chris Bordeleau; Bruce Vandelinder; Susan Womack; Helene Parlms-Jackson; Maria Lozano; Carolyn Currie; Chelsea White; Mary Smart; Mimi McGilvray; Rick Schuler; Elaine Swieca; Bill Waters; Marge Porterfield; Aaron Byron; Bob Bower; Jacqueline Sylvestre; Kittie Fidermutz; Martina Peters; Dillon Tunney; Barbara Pogorzelski; Sherry Estrella; Chase Dobson; Loretta Payne; Barbara Knight; Suzanne Shaefer.

Page Seven St. Peter Claver 9. Unknown light or Aurora Borealis? Sister Lucia considered the extraordinary light that illuminated the skies of Europe on the night of January 25-26, 1938 during the hours of 8:45 p.m. to 1:15 a.m., as the great sign, the unknown light that Our Lady predicted that would signal that war was near. Astronomers and skeptic brush it off as a mere aurora borealis though its character was remarkably unprecedented. The New York Times for January 26, 1938, carried the following: London, January 25th, 1938. The Aurora Borealis rarely seen in Southern or Western Europe spread fear in parts of Portugal and lower Austria tonight while thousands of Britons were brought running into the streets in wonderment. The ruddy glow led many to think half the city was ablaze. The Windsor Fire Department was called out thinking that Windsor Castle was afire. The lights were clearly seen in Italy, Spain, and even Gibraltar. The glow bathing snow-clad mountain tops in Austria and Switzerland was a beautiful sight but firemen turned out to chase non-existent fires. Portuguese villagers rushed in fright from their homes fearing the end of the world. 10. Jacinta s last words: Tempered and molded by extraordinary penance and sacrifice, 10-year old Jacinta proved to be precocious and prophetic in her vision of things. She had many private apparitions and countless revelations. The following statements uttered by Jacinta showed her depth of soul in face of the moral decay ravishing the world: The sins which cause most souls to go to hell are the sins of the flesh. To be pure of body is to keep chastity. To be pure in soul is not to commit sins, not look at what one should not see, not to steal, never to lie, always to tell the truth however hard it may be. Fashions that will greatly offend Our Lord will appear. People who serve God should not follow fashions. The Church has no fashions. Our Lord is always the same. Doctors do not have the light to cure the sick because they do not have love of God. Priests should only occupy themselves with the affairs of the Church. Priests should be pure, very pure. The disobedience of priests and religious to their superiors and to the Holy Father greatly offends Our Lord. To be a woman religious, it is necessary to be very pure in soul and body. Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord, and they are not of God. Confession is a sacrament of mercy. Therefore, one must approach the confessional with confidence and joy. My godmother, pray much for those who govern! Woe to those who persecute the religion of Our Lord. If the government left the Church in peace and gave freedom to the holy Faith, it would be blessed by God. Wars are nothing but punishments for the sins of the world. Our Lady can no longer hold back the arm of her beloved Son from the world. It is necessary to do penance. If people change their ways, Our Lord will still spare the world; but if they do not, the chastisement will come. This year s annual Memorial Day Mass at Assumption Cemetery in Simi Valley will be held on Monday, May 29 th at 10am with Bishop Alexander Salazar as the Principal Celebrant. Our own Father Riz Carranza will concelebrate for this special occasion. We need baked goods for our Parish Picnic and Pentecost Celebration, being held on Sunday, June 4 th.

The readings for today s celebration of the Ascension of the Lord once again remind us that as Christians we are people of hope. In the second reading Saint Paul eloquently exhorts the Ephesians to enlighten their hearts so that they will know the hope and glory that come from being people who place their trust in the Lord Jesus. In the story of the Ascension, recounted in the first reading, the Lord Jesus assures the disciples that the Holy Spirit s power will come upon them. Finally, in the Gospel, the Lord lets the disciples know that their mission is to spread the hope of the gospel to all the nations. This wonderful feast keeps our eyes focused on the hope in which we were grounded on the day of our baptism. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

These are instructions for us as well. We have been given a purpose and a mission as believers and followers of Jesus Christ. Our celebration reminds us to take time for prayer. Prayer can deepen our awareness not only of who we are but of the Holy Spirit bringing Christ's mission to fulfillment. With this knowledge, we can believe more deeply and then act on that belief.
