The Traditional Latin Mass Society is an association of Roman Catholic faithful dedicated to the preservation of the “Ancient form of the Roman Rite” or the “Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite”, as a legitimate use of Holy Mother Church’s Great Liturgical Patrimony. The Society includes lay faithful drawn from every age, group and walks of life as well as clergy and religious members who “continue to adhere with great love and affection to the earlier liturgical forms.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum of 2007)

Penance should be not only internal and individual but also external and social. The practice of penance is encouraged in all

the faithful in ways suited to the present day, to where one lives and works, and to individual circumstances. The role of the

Church in these penitential practices should not be ignored, and it should be emphasized that the continued need to pray for

one's soul and for the souls of sinners remains at the center of the Catholic Lenten experience.

RULES OF FASTING AND ABSTINENCE: During Lent, the following fasting and abstinence rules are observed:

Abstinence from meat is observed on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years of

age and older. Poultry and meat resulting from the slaughter of mammals is considered "meat". Therefore, chicken, pork,

beef, and lamb are considered "meat" and may not be eaten. Fish, eggs, shellfish, and cold-blooded animals

are not considered "meat".

Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age and older but not yet 59.

Those bound by this rule may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted as necessary to maintain strength

according to one's needs, but eating solid foods is not permitted.

(NOTE: Both fasting and abstinence apply only to those who will not be harmed in any manner by obedience to the dietary

prescription. If you have low blood sugar, diabetes, or are taking treatments that require the intake of food or protein, you

are fully absolved from any obligation to adhere to these rules.)

The Church also encourages daily attendance at Mass, self-imposed times of fasting, and generosity to local, national, and

worldwide programs of sharing.

From the Assistant Chaplain  Today the Church celebrates “Laetare Sunday,” taken from the first word of the Introit for today’s Mass. This marks one of the two times in our liturgical year in which the priest may wear rose‐colored vestments (the other is “Gaudete Sunday” in Advent). The rose color of  the vestments  today  is meant  to  cheer us up as we  feel  the  length of our  Lenten  fast  setting  in during  this penitential season.  The  joy of Laetare Sunday – “Laetare”  is  the command  to “Rejoice” –  reminds us of  the hidden kernel of wisdom  in our Lenten observance. The sadness or suffering that we feel in depriving ourselves of certain created goods is only temporary. Even in this life, that sadness will give way to an abiding divine joy, if we allow God to do the work in our souls that He wishes to do. The saints are clear on this point: the more our wills are in harmony with God’s will, the happier we will be.  The whole structure of our Lenten fast presupposes that we find our true happiness only in God. For this reason, we are detaching from creatures. By removing ourselves from these usual distractions from God, we allow ourselves to feel the pain of desire. This can be scary. We ache for God at the core of our being. We do not like to admit this because it means that we will never truly be happy in this life. Even the happiest and most fulfilled person, living the holiest of lives on earth, still experiences a profound loneliness at his core which can only be  filled by God  in Heaven. As St. Augustine  famously exclaimed  to His Beloved: “You have made us  for Yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You!”  This resting of our hearts in God is the joyful aspect of Lent. This is why we can wear rose vestments even as we are well into our penitential  practices.  The more we  are detached  from  creatures  and  attached  to God,  the more we  are  already  living  the  true happiness of Heaven. We can have even now, in an imperfect way, a share in what will be our perfect happiness. Because of this, the Church is commanded by her Lord to “rejoice” on this Fourth Sunday of Lent!  In our Gospel today, the Church proclaims the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 from five loaves and two fish. This miracle reminds us that our true food is Jesus Christ, Whom we eat in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus makes it possible for us to set aside the usual ways for us to satisfy the hunger of our hearts and to rely on Him as our only Bread. He is enough. This is the joy of Lent: there is need of only one thing and His Name is Jesus. Only by falling deeply in love with Jesus during this Lenten fast will we experience the true joy that He wants to give us.  It  is a  joy that  is  independent of circumstances and the goods of this world, a  joy that wells up  in our hearts through grace, that nothing can touch or destroy except for mortal sin. We ask our Blessed Lord to feed us always with His Bread, so that we may never hunger again for anything but Him.  Fr. Joseph Previtali  

   

 

Our aim  is  to help university students and young adults  to promote  the values of marriage,  family, and sexual integrity  to  the broader popular culture. Featuring speakers at  the  forefront of  this effort,  the conference will allow  students  to network with other  individuals who  are willing  to  engage  in  intellectual  and  civil discourse about the  issues of marriage, family, and sexual  integrity. Join us for what will be a fruitful weekend! For more information, visit our website:   http://www.stanfordanscombe.org/communicating‐values‐marriage‐family‐‐the‐media‐conference.html

Feature of the Week: Society of the Sacred Heart http://www.institute-christ-king.org/sacred-heart-society/

The Society of the Sacred Heart is a lay association within the spiritual family of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. Through membership in the Society of the Sacred Heart, lay faithful can participate in the spirituality of the Institute directed to expand the kingship of Our Blessed Lord in all realms of the Church and society under the patronage of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. The spirituality of the Institute of Christ the King stems from the writings and example of St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis de Sales. With these patron Saints, the members of the Society of the Sacred Heart strive to live a Catholic life in an ever-growing harmony between nature, grace, faith, and culture, totally faithful to the teachings of Holy Mother Church and to the See of Peter, with an emphasis on charity toward God and our neighbor. In this holy endeavor, the members of the Society place themselves under the spiritual direction of the priests of the Institute of Christ the King and are supported by the prayers of the priests, oblates, and seminarians of the Institute, and the Sisters Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus. Members of the society work to sustain the apostolic work of the Institute of Christ the King. They also live the spirituality of the Institute and can participate in spiritual retreats and gatherings of the Institute's family organized locally or nationally by the chaplains of the Society of the Sacred Heart. Youth events and retreats in the spirit of the Institute are offered to the families engaged in the Society of the Sacred Heart. Friends and guests are welcome at the retreats of the Society. Interested lay faithful can become members of the Society of the Sacred Heart by contacting the Institute's apostolate nearest to them. The nearest apostolate in the San Francisco Bay Area is St. Margaret Mary’s (Oakland, CA). It is possible for those who do not live near the current apostolates of the Institute to become members of the Society of the Sacred Heart. They would need, however, to attend the yearly retreat offered to all the members. This coming June 13-15, 2014, the Annual Retreat will be held at the University St. Mary of the Lake Conference Center located at 1000 East Maple Ave., Mundelein, IL 60060 (30 miles North of Chicago). For more information, please contact Canon Matthew Talarico at 773-363-7409 (ext 4) or email: sacredheart@institute-christ-king.

UPCOMING PRIESTLY ORDINATIONS FOR THE INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST IN THE US

Priestly Ordinations conferred by Cardinal Burke in July, 2013

With heartfelt gratitude to Divine Providence, it is our joy to announce the upcoming priestly ordinations which will take place this summer in the United States. With the gracious permission of His Grace, the Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson, Archbishop of St. Louis, several American deacons will be ordained to the holy priesthood at St. Francis de Sales Oratory in St. Louis, Missouri, on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, Feast of Our Lady of the Snows. The Sacrament of Holy Orders will be conferred by His Eminence, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, during the solemn Pontifical Mass which will be offered on this feast in honor of Mary Immaculate, principal patroness of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. The Institute's Founder and Prior General, Very Reverend Monsignor Gilles Wach, along with the Seminary Rector and Co-Founder, Reverend Canon Philippe Mora, will be present for this special occasion, along with many Canons and members of the Institute family. The names of those to be ordained will be announced in the coming months after the important period of exams and scrutiny which is a necessary part of preparation before Holy Orders. The Institute is profoundly grateful to all who have offered prayers for these future priests, especially through the St. Philip Neri Seminary Society's program of spiritual adoption by which the faithful pray daily for a particular seminarian. With deep appreciation the Institute likewise is very thankful to all of the generous benefactors of its International Seminary, especially to those charitable persons who have made donations to the special appeal of the St. Philip Neri Seminary Society for the tuition support of needy seminarians who cannot afford this cost. The Institute welcomes all friends and faithful who would like to attend this Ordination ceremony. Details will be made available in the coming months. Everyone is likewise invited to pray for these several deacons as they prepare to become ordained sons of Christ the King Sovereign Priest at the service of Holy Mother Church and for the good of souls.

Mass Propers for Laetare Sunday of Lent: March 30, 2014

Introit Isa 66:10‐11 Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and come together, all you who love her: rejoice with joy, you who have been in sorrow: that you may exult, and be filled from the breasts of your consolation. Ps 121:1 I rejoiced because they said to me, We will go up to the house of the Lord. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.  Collect Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that we who justly suffer for our sins may find relief in the help of Your grace.  Epistle Gal 4:22‐31 Brethren:  It  is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a slave‐girl and  the other by a  free woman. And  the son of  the slave‐girl was born according to the flesh, but the son of the free woman in virtue of the  promise.  This  said  by  way  of  allegory.  For  these  are  the  two covenants: one  indeed  from Mount  Sinai bringing  forth  children unto bondage,  which  is  Agar.  For  Sinai  is  a  mountain  in  Arabia,  which corresponds  to  the  present  Jerusalem,  and  is  in  slavery  with  her children. But that Jerusalem which is above is free, which is our mother. For  it  is written, Rejoice, O barren one,  that do not bear; break  forth and  cry,  you  that  do  not  travail;  for  many  are  the  children  of  the desolate, more than of her that has a husband. Now we, brethren, are the children of the promise, as Isaac was. But as then he who was born according to the flesh, persecuted him who was born according to the spirit, so also  it  is now. But what does  the Scripture say? Cast out  the slave‐girl and her son, for the son of the slave‐girl shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.Therefore, brethren, we are not children of a slave‐girl, but of the free woman  ‐  in virtue of the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.  Gradual Ps 121: 1, 7. I rejoiced because they said to me, We will go up to the house of the Lord. V. May peace be within your walls, prosperity in your buildings.  Tract Ps 124:1‐2 They who trust in the Lord are like Mount Sion, which is immovable; which forever stands. V. Mountains are round about Jerusalem; so the Lord is round about His people, both now and forever.  Gospel John 6:1‐15 At  that  time,  Jesus went away  to  the other  side of  the  sea of Galilee, which  is  that  of  Tiberias.  And  there  followed  Him  a  great  crowd, because  they witnessed  the signs He worked on  those who were sick. Jesus therefore went up the mountain, and sat there with His disciples. Now  the Passover,  the  feast of  the  Jews, was near. When,  therefore, Jesus had lifted up His eyes and seen that a very great crowd had come to Him, He  said  to Philip, Whence  shall we buy bread  that  these may eat? But He said this to try him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip  answered  Him,  Two  hundred  denarii  worth  of  bread  is  not enough  for  them,  that  each  one  may  receive  a  little.  One  of  His disciples, Andrew,  the brother of Simon Peter,  said  to Him, There  is a young boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these among so many? 

 Jesus then said, Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore reclined, in number about five thousand. Jesus then took the  loaves, and when He had given thanks, distributed them  to  those  reclining;  and  likewise  the  fishes,  as  much  as  they wished. But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather the fragments  that  are  left  over,  lest  they  be  wasted.  They  therefore gathered them up; and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the  five  barley  loaves  left  over  by  those  who  had  eaten. When  the people, therefore, had seen the sign which Jesus had worked, they said, This  is  indeed  the  Prophet Who  is  to  come  into  the world.  So when Jesus perceived that  they would come  to  take Him by  force and make Him king He fled again to the mountain, Himself alone.  Offertory Ps 134:3, 6. Praise the Lord, for He is good; sing praise to His Name, for He is sweet; all that He wills He does in heaven and on earth.  Secret  Look  with  favor,  we  beseech  You,  O  Lord,  upon  the  offerings  here before You, that they may be beneficial for our devotion and salvation.  Communion Ps 121:3‐4 Jerusalem, built as a city, with compact unity: to it the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, to give thanks to Your Name, O Lord.  Post Communion  Grant, we beseech You, merciful God,  that we may  treat with  sincere reverence,  and  consume  with  heartfelt  faith  Your  sacrament,  which ever fills us to overflowing.
