Psalm Response

Gospel Acclamation

Show us, Lord, your love; and

grant us your sal - va - tion. Lord Je-sus, come!

Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made; For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (all bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Acto Penitencial

LITURGIA DE LA PALABRA Salmo Responsorial

Aclamación del Evangelio

Credo Niceno Page 5 Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros, los hombres, y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo,

Todos se inclinan: y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato, padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo vendrá con gloria, para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

MARY VIII

The Second World War came to an end in Tokyo Bay on the deck of the battleship Missouri, with the official surrender of Japan to allied forces. The date was August 15, 1945, the Feast of the Assumption. Fatima-watchers see no coincidence in that date.

In July, 1952, ten years after his initial consecration of the world, Pius XII privately consecrated Russia and her people to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He did not ask the bishops of the world to join him in the consecration, and again, it is presumed that political realities were high among the Pope’s considerations. Stalin remained in power in Moscow; the Pope did not want to touch off a new round of persecution against the Christians of Russia.

The 1952 consecration was not without its effect, however. Classified KGB files made public after the collapse of the Soviet Union show that at the 1952 congress of the communist party in Moscow, Stalin announced his plans to invade Western Europe – after the harsh Russian winter. Sta-lin gave his speech on October 13, the anniversary of the great miracle at Fatima, not that Stalin knew or cared. His target date for the invasion: April, 1953.

Stalin died suddenly in March, 1953. He was replaced by Nikita Kruschev, a cold warrior, to be sure, but a man who had no interest in another war, and who would seek a workable accommodation with the West. It would be another thirty years, the mid-1980s, before Russia would again consider an invasion of the West. By that time, however, a Pope named John Paul II was in Rome. This Pope was determined to bring about the consecration according to Our Lady’s request. IHM Pray for us Fr. Jim

MARIA VIII La Segunda Guerra Mundial termino en la Bahía de Tokio en la cubierta de la nave de Guerra Missouri, con la rendición de Japón a las fuerzas aliadas. La fecha era el 15 de Agosto de 1945, La Fiesta de la Ascensión. Los que han seguido a Fátima no ven ninguna coincidencia con esta fecha.

En Julio del 1952, diez anos después de la consagración inicial del mundo, Pio XII privadamente consagro a Rusia y a su gente al Inmaculado Corazón de María. El no invito a los obispos del mundo a tomar parte en la consagración, y otra vez, se presumió que realidades políticas eran prioridades en las consideraciones del Papa. Stalin estaba todavía en poder; el Papa no quiso descargar una nueva hola de persecución contra los Cristianos de Rusia.

La consagración del 1952 no fue sin efectos algunos. Archivos clasificados del KGB fueron publicados después del colapso de la Unión Soviética y expusieron que en el congreso del 1952 del partido comunista en Moscú, Stalin anuncio sus planes para invadir a Europa del Oeste—después del severo invierno Ruso. Stalin dio su discurso el 13 de Octubre, el aniversario del grandioso milagro de Fátima, no que Stalin sabia o le importara. Su fecha proyectada para la invasión: Abril del 1953.

Stalin falleció repentinamente en Marzo del 1953. Fue reemplazado por Nikita Krushchev, un guerrero frio, para ser seguro, pero un hombre que no tenia ningún interés en otra Guerra y quien buscaría la manera de trabajar con el Oeste. Pasarían otros treinta anos, a mediados del 1980, antes que Rusia de nuevo considerara otra invasión del Oeste. Pero a ese tiempo, un Papa de nombre Juan Pablo II estaba en Roma. En todo caso, este Papa estaba determinado a llevar a cabo la consagración según los deseos de Nuestra Señora. IHM Ora por nosotros Padre Jim

Parish Mission/Misión Parroquial With Mary, we seek to know Christ better and to make him better known through our words and actions.

Con María, nosotros buscamos conocer mejor a Cristo y hacerlo conocer mejor a él por medio de nuestras acciones y palabras.

ALL SAINTS AND ANGELS CARNIVAL—THANK YOU!! The Third Annual All Saints and Angels Carnival this year was a huge success! The attendance (not including volunteers) numbered over 400. Children and adults alike had a wonderful time. A large group of volunteers helped to set-up, run and clean-up the event. The carnival has grown in the past few years and is fast becoming known as a 'safe', non-scary and spiritual event for families to celebrate our faith as Catho-lics. The evening also included a little parade of 'Saints and Angels" into the Church where children are reminded of the origins of the evening and then receive a blessing. The chairpeople would like to extend a thank you to the many ministries from IHM who donated various amounts of money to help fund this free parish event. We are also grateful for those parishioners who purchased one of our famous Rootbeer Floats during the summer months to help raise money for this event. Truly by all joining together, we have created an event for entire families to celebrate their faith and yes, even evangelize and welcome those who may not be weekly church attendees. Because planning begins in the spring for this event, we encourage all to become part of this fun and faith-filled event! Please call Jill Wright at 420-6865 or Julie Figueroa at 513-8155 if you are interested. We would be happy to add you to our list of volunteers for next year. We are certain that all volunteers will receive heavenly rewards - and
