Dear Parishioners, “It was through the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus came into the world, and it is also through her that He must reign in the world.” What better way to celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King than consecrating ourselves to Jesus through Mary! To all those new devotees of Mary: Congratulations! You are one of those chosen souls to whom the “Holy Spirit has opened God’s garden of Paradise” (Secret of Mary, 20). And to all those who out of love for our Lady and so generously have helped organize and prepare this joyful event, please receive my most heartfelt: Thank you! Praying that your example and prayers may lead many souls to extend Jesus’ Kingdom by loving and serving our Blessed Mother, I offer you one of St. Louis de Montfort hymns: The True Devotee of Mary.

May God bless you all! Fr. Gustavo Nieto, IVE

God first, my Ransomer, Then Mary ardently I love. To win for her One heart I’d gladly die. O Mistress good, O Queen! If we but knew her well We’d hasten to be seen In her best clientele. Assuming here on earth Our nature, God became Docile to her from birth; Let me then do the same. Virgin most faithful, she Shows to my steps the way. Through her, grace comes to me; To her, then, I must pray. Jesus is glorified By honors paid to her. In error those abide Who otherwise aver. To love her Son the less For loving her would be An insult pardonless To Christian piety. Away then, heretic With scruples overblown! Away your false critique And its presumptuous tone! Unceasingly I’ll pray To her, my Paragon Of grace, and in that way Be pleasing to her Son. In mercy she excels; Great is her gentleness. Not one soul she repels

That seeks her tenderness. Jesus Himself constrains My soul to grasp and prize The grace her suffrage gains. Dare I do otherwise? She is Queen-Sovereign Of all the universe. Heaven is her domain; Her heel is Satan’s curse. She is the treasurer Of all Christ’s goods. She lifts Sin’s bar and bids us share The Holy Spirit’s gifts. She is the cloister-cell Where God became a Child; Where man, O miracle, With God was reconciled. She is God’s daughter fair, Mother of Grace Divine, Made by her fiat-prayer The Holy Spirit’s shrine. Unique while on this sphere, The purest and the best, She now is without peer Among the Heaven-blest. She is the greatest foe Of Satan, Hell’s dark prince; Her very name is woe To him and makes him wince. With total verity: She is the image sheer Of the Divinity. Through her and her con-sents The Lord has set us free. She is the sea immense Of all His Majesty.

Although enthroned in light Near God, her very Son, She witnesses our plight And pleads for everyone. Purgation’s fire severe She enters, setting free The chained, while demons hear Her chant of victory. She is more radiant Than all the Cherubim; She is more luminant Than all the Seraphim. Outside the Trinity And solely by God’s grace In Heaven’s galaxy She holds the highest place. Under her queenly sway I’ll never be afraid To beg her: Do away With Satan’s dark charade! As her devoted liege, My hope is to be given After this pilgrimage A higher place in Heaven. My gracious Queen, accept These accents unbeguiled, These pleadings so inept. I’m but a simple child. Better than I can do, Let others take your part. May all men offer you A present of their heart.

Solemnity of Christ, The King

THE FEAST OF ST. ANDREW IS ON NOVEMBER 30TH.

Novena to St. Andrew

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment

in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.

In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires,

through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother.


Children and Youth Religious Education Program News

“The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” John 1:14

The Duties of Parents to Children “Saint Paul tells parents, “You who are fathers, do not rouse your children to resentment; the training, the disci-pline in which you bring them up must come from the Lord.” “The parent who holds the bow must be careful not to abuse and rankle the arrow. Discipline and authority are not the same as exasperating and frustrating severity. Parents can incite resentment in children in several ways: one is to give too many commands, with the result that the child hears none.” ”The children who is never encouraged or praised when he does well, but always criticized when he does wrong, is apt to feel there is no reason for doing the things that are good except to avoid a scolding.” “Correction and submission are to be given in the spirit of the Lord. Parents who know themselves to be disci-ples of the Lord know best how to make disciples of their own children. Parents should be like shepherds who lead their sheep as the Lord walked before His disciples, showing them the way. The parent is the best teacher who has God as his

The Choice of the Fami-ly: A Call to Wholeness, Abundant Life, & Endur-

ing Happiness, – Jean Laffi e

“The family safeguards our

fundamental sense of community, because

within it the child grows up in a web of in mately

connected rights & re-sponsibili es to other

people. But it also protects our unique, individual iden ty, because it shields the child with a mantle of privacy & personal devo on. And again, that’s where

the enduring power of marriage & family lives. We most easily understand & believe in love when we –

ourselves – are the fruit of our parents’ tenderness & fidelity. Love lived well is the unanswerable argu-ment for God - & for the worthiness of the human

heart.” –Archbishop Chaput (reg. $20.00)
