He Who Loves Jesus Christ Loves Sufferings The great little saint of Lisieux revealed the spiritual validity of this attitude. She writes: “If I draw near to God with love and trust, it is not because I have kept from mortal sin. Were my conscience laden with every imaginable crime, I should not have one whit less confidence. Heart-broken and repentant, I would throw myself into my Savior’s arms. He loves the prodigal son: I know his words to Magdalene, to the adulterous woman, to that of Samaria. Who would make me afraid if I know his mercy and his love? I know that all my numberless sins would disappear in an instant, like a drop of water cast into a furnace.” Having this patience toward sinners is our Lord’s own choice. When accused of going with those who were not remarkable for the rectitude of their lives, his answer was that “he was come not to call the just but the sinners.” Our sins, then, far from creating a barrier between us and him, really constitute a rea-son, a title or right, to come to him. They also consti-tute a reason for his coming to us. He could have said to the Pharisees: “I frequent sinners because they need me more than others. The physician spends his time with and gives all his attention and care to those that are ill, not to those that are in health. I am the Physi-cian of souls. That is my work.” And “They that are in health need not a physician but they that are ill” (Mt 9:12). Encouraging as is this simile for us, it does not fully exemplify the relations of Jesus to our souls. The doctor gives merely his services to his patients, places his skill at their disposal. Our Lord not only gives us his services, he lavishes on us his love as well. That the Lord loves us is true, and it is incom-prehensible. Why he is so devoted to us is not possible to fully explain, but one reason for it may be inferred: We have cost him so dear. For us, sinners, he poured forth his Precious Blood. “Knowing,” says St Peter, “that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, but with the Precious Blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled” (1 Pet 1:18-19). And again we read in St Paul: “For you are bought with a great price” (1 Cor 6:20). The child is loved by his mother by the very pain he has cost her. Jesus values us because he has given his all for us–every drop of his Heart’s Blood. Is it not an astonishing mystery that he values us so high-ly, and we, alas, so often, so little value him? (From Patience: The Path To Victory by Chalres Bel-monte)

Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest
Rev. Canon Olivier Meney Episcopal Delegate for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in the Diocese of Oakland
Canon Meney - (510) 604-0391 or [email protected]
YOU ARE AT SAINT MARGARET MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH HUB OF THE LATIN MASS LITURGY IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
The Traditional Latin Mass (now called by the Holy Father: Mass in the Extraordinary Form) is brought to you through the ministry of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.
WHAT IS THE INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST?
The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right whose goal is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the ser-vice of the Church and souls. Its specific aim is missionary: to spread the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ in all spheres of human life. Our work is carried out under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception, to Whom the Institute is consecrated.
Recognizing the importance of a deep harmony between faith, liturgy, life, and the power of beauty in attracting the human senses to the things above, an integral part of the Institute’s charism is the use of the traditional Latin Liturgy of 1962 for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the other sacraments. Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of the central role of Grace, especially Charity – these are essential elements of the Institute’s spirituality, which is drawn from its three co-patrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Francis de Sales.
Our motto is “Live the truth in charity." The Institute operates in more than fifty places in twelve countries, where our priests focus on the care of souls in many different ways. To assist our priests in their apostolic work, the Institute also has clerical oblates. In 2004, a community of religious sisters was canonically established to aid the priests in their mis-sion through prayer and apostolic work.
The Institute was founded in 1990 by Monsignor Gilles Wach. Today, the motherhouse and international seminary of the Institute is located in Gricigliano, in the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy.
The Institute serves the faithful of the Bay since 2005 at St. Margaret Mary in Oakland and at Five Wounds in San Jose (Mass at 12:30 pm on Sunday, 12:15 pm on Weekdays but Sat. at 7:30 am)

It was a wonderful way to mark an important milestone in the lives of our students. Congratulations graduates. I’d also like to thank Rosemary Gutierrez and Mrs. Kramer and the many volunteers who or-ganized and made the Mother Mary Camp a fun event for our children. At the end of the Camp, we processed around the block with the image of Our Lady of Fatima: a great way to end the event.

Love’s Reaction to Loss There is a story to this effect told about St. Macarius, the Egyptian hermit, who one day in his meditations wondered to what degree of holiness and union with God his solitude and years of fasting and prayer had lifted him. Falling asleep, he was told by an angel that he had not reached the level of holiness of two women who lived in a nearby town of whom he should learn. Greatly interested, St. Macarius went to the town and there found the women, and to his great astonishment found that they were married. He entreated them to tell the secret of their sanctity, but the two women, greatly confused, assured him that there was nothing remarkable about them: "We are but poor wives amidst constant worldly cares." But Macarius pressed his question and asked them how they came to be so holy in the eyes of God. Their an-swer was that for fifteen years they had been married to two brothers and had lived together under the same roof, never once quarreling nor permitting a single unpleasant word to pass between them. Thus did St. Macarius learn that peaceful co-habitation can be even more praiseworthy in the eyes of God than soli-tary fasting and prayer. Because of our deep affection for the Russian people who have been much maligned because the world judges their depths by the crust of communism, we here seek within the history of the Russian people some exemplary married lives which witness to the eternal Truth that it takes three to make love. Sacred to the memory of the Russian people are David and Eufrosnia of Nurom. Before David, Prince of Nurom, ascended the throne following the death of his elder brother, he had for a long time suffered from sores that covered his whole body. The daughter of a sim-ple woodman, a girl renowned alike for her wit and goodness, cured him with ointment and constant care. Impressed with the high quality of her mind and heart, David fell in love with her and gave his word that he would marry her. Once recovered from his illness and restored again to the splendors of the court, he felt ashamed to take for his wife a girl as simple as Eufrosnia, so he broke the promise of mar-riage. But he fell ill again with the same disease and for the second time Eufrosnia cured him. This time the grateful prince hastened to keep his word and married her. Once on the throne, the nobility of Nu-rom, urged on by his younger brother and nephew, declared that it was an offense to the land to see a peasant-born woman on the throne. (From Three To Get Married by Fulton Sheen)

From The Eucharist To The Trinity Jesus came to us from the bosom of the Father to bring us to the Trinity; this was the purpose of the Incarnation and it is also that of the Eucharist, which prolongs the mystery of the Incarnation in time. In the Eucharist Jesus continues to be the Mediator be-tween the three divine Persons and ourselves, holding out His hand to lead us to Them. It is by coming to us in Holy Communion that He continually puts us in more direct contact with the Blessed Trinity; for He then comes in the integrity of His Person as God and Man, humanity and divinity; and as God, as the Word, He is always indissolubly united to the Father and to the Holy Spirit. Jesus can repeat from the con-secrated Host what He once said while He was on earth: “He that send Me is with Me, and He hath not left Me alone,” and more explicitly: “I am in the Fa-ther and the Father [is] in Me” (Jn. 8:29-14:11). Therefore, when He comes to us in Holy Communion, He does not come alone, but with Him come the Fa-ther and the Holy Spirit, because the three divine Per-sons, although distinct one from another, are insepara-ble. The presence of the Trinity in our soul is not limited to the moments when Jesus is sacramentally present within us, for the three divine Persons dwell permanently in a soul that is in the state of grace. It is true, however, that the Trinity is present in a very spe-cial way in Christ, the incarnate Word, the one Man personally united to the Trinity and in whom dwells all the fullness of the divinity: in quo habitat omnis plenitude divinitatis (Litany of the Sacred Heart). Hence, it is certain that wherever Christ is—and therefore in our soul at the time of Communion—there the Trinity is also present in a very special way. The Blessed Trinity is never so fully present to our souls as in the few moments when we have the sacramental presence of Jesus within us. The three divine Persons are not only present there but are pleased to remain there. The Father takes pleasure in His beloved Son who dwells within us and whom He has given to us in the Eucharist; the Word takes de-light in the sacred humanity of Jesus which is wholly and forever His; the Holy Spirit rejoices in Christ, His chosen temple and, because of Him, is pleased to dwell within us. The entire Trinity, finding Jesus in us, abides in our soul with joy, looks on us with spe-cial love, and each Person diffuses Himself into us more fully. Thus each Communion nourishes our life of union not only with Jesus, but also with the entire Trinity; each Communion increases our capacity to welcome the three divine Persons and to live in “company” with Them in an increasingly intimate and profound relationship. (From Divine Intimacy by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, OCD).
