St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church Page 2 Sixth Sunday of EasterAs we celebrate the month of May which honors the Blessed Virgin Mary,we must pray as to what gift we can give to her each day. We need onlylook to Blessed Mary, herself, for what gifts would make her the most happy.On October 13, 1917 in Fatima, Portugal in the presence of 70,000 people,including newspaper reporters and photographers, Blessed Mary appearedto the three children of Fatima and told them “I am the Lady of the Rosary;I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and ask for pardon fortheir sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already toogrievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary.Let them continue saying it every day.”At Fatima, Our Lady also asked for an increase of prayer and sacrifice, and the abandonment of sin. She asked thatwe offer our prayers and sacrifices for the Holy Father, for poor sinners, and in reparation to the Sacred Heart ofJesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These words still hold true today and the holy rosary is a beautiful way ofhonoring her requests for us to pray for each other. In this time of much confusion in the world, our rosaries not onlyhelp others, but also ourselves as we mediate on the lives and virtues of Blessed Mary and her beloved son, Jesus.By taking Blessed Mary’s hand, we are led on the path to holiness. Many a sinner has been saved by the rosariessaid by pious mothers, grandmothers, family and friends.I also believe that as we say the last part of our many Hail Mary’s “Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners nowand at the hour of our death,“ she will not abandon us in our times of need but especially at the hour of our death. Ibelieve the benefits and grace of the holy rosary are beyond our hopes and dreams.Today as we celebrate Mother’s day and offer our own mothers special signs of our love and affection; let us notforget the mother who loves and cares for us most of all, the Blessed Virgin Mary.Happy Mother’s Day to all women who share their nurturing love with us all.God bless you all and have a good week.Sincerely yours in Christ,Fr. SławekSAVE THE DATE!June 26 and 27, 2010St. Peter the Apostle Parish will be celebrating itsfeast day at our Second Annual Taste of St. Peter's onJune 26 and 27, 2010.
