Dear Faith Family of Our Lady of Grace,
Praised be Jesus Christ... now and for ever!
May is here and we commemorate once again the role of Mary in the life of Church. Blessed Pope Paul VI in his encyclical on
the Month of May states, “moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world [pay] to the Queen of Heav-
en. During this month Chris ans, both in church and in the privacy of the home, offer up to Mary from their hearts an especially
fervent and loving homage of prayer and venera on. In this month, too, the benefits of God's mercy come down to us from her
throne in greater abundance (1).”
In our observance of the Marian month we should take into account the season of the Liturgical Year which corresponds with the
fi y days of Easter. Our pious prac ces my friends could emphasize Our Lady's par cipa on in the Paschal Mystery and in Pente-
cost with which the Church begins. Our spiritual exercises connected with the month of May can easily highlight the role played by
Mary, Queen of Heaven, here and now, in the celebra on of the Sacraments of Bap sm, Confirma on, and Holy Eucharist.
The following prac ces which are recommended by the Church are offered to us as sugges ons for honoring Our Lady during Her
month. I will be sharing a few throughout the month so we can prac ce or share it with family and friends.
The Regina Caeli
The Church addresses this an phon to Mary for the Resurrec on of her Son. It adverts to, and depends on, the invita on to joy
addressed by Gabriel to the Lord's humble servant who was called to become the Mother of the saving Messiah. Here is the pray-
er in its en rety:
Queen of Heaven, rejoice. Alleluia.
For He, whom thou wast worthy to bear. Alleluia.
Has risen as He said. Alleluia.
Pray for us to God. Alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary. Alleluia.
R. Because the Lord is truly risen, Alleluia.
Let us pray
O God, Who by the ResurrecƟon of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, hast been pleased to give joy to the whole world, grant we be-
seech Thee, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may aƩain the joys of eternal life. Through
the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
The Rosary
Also called the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Rosary is one of the most excellent prayers to the Mother of God. Thus, "the
Roman Pon ffs have repeatedly exhorted the faithful to the frequent recita on of this biblically inspired prayer which is centered
on contempla on of the salvific events of Christ's life, and their close associa on with the Virgin Mother." Maybe we can pray the
rosary as a family or if not the whole rosary than a decade of it. The rosary as St. John Paul II said is praying to Jesus through the
eyes of Mary. We all have a par cular rosary that we are a ached to maybe one that we had growing up or one that someone
gave us on a trip to Rome or the Holy Land. Pick it up and pray it. The Servant of God Fr. Patrick Payton, CSC famous for the rosary
rallies popularized the saying, “The family that prays together; stays together.”
Here at our parish we will be having our annual Mother’s Day Novena so I invite you to check our website and social media so
that we can enroll our mothers both living and deceased. All Mothers enrolled will have their picture hung in the church by the
image of Our Lady of Grace, they will be remembered at nine Masses, and a online virtual musical tribute.
Please mark your calendars for the FaƟma Mass that will begin on May 13th. We will be beginning every 13th of the month from
May to October at 6:30pm. What is the central meaning of the message of Fa ma? Nothing different from what the Church has
always taught: it is, as Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, has put it, “the exhorta on to prayer as the path of
“salva on for souls” and, likewise, the summons to penance and conversion.” Join us for the Mass, Rosary and Candlelight Proces-
sion.
I ask your charity to pray for our children and young people who will be preparing for the Sacraments of Holy Communion and
Confirma on. These weeks are busy but they are also a grace for our parish community to be reminded of the fervor of faith, the
beau ful tradi on of accompany our youth to the sacraments, and the invita on to keeping living the faith.
Have a great week!
Fr. Marinello Saguin

Querida Familia Fe de Nuestra Señora de Gracia,
Alabado sea Jesucristo... ahora y para siempre!
Ahora conmemoramos una vez más el papel de María en la vida de la Iglesia. El beato Papa Pablo VI en su encíclica del Mes de
Mayo afirma: "Emo vo homenaje de fe y amor que los católicos de todas las partes del mundo [rinden] a la Reina de los Cie-
los. Durante este mes, los cris anos, tanto en la iglesia como en la in midad del hogar, ofrecen a María desde sus corazones
un homenaje especialmente ferviente y amoroso de oración y veneración. En este mes, también reconocemos, las bendiciones
de la divina misericordia de Dios que nos llega de su trono en mayor abundancia (1)."
En nuestra observación del mes Mariano debemos tomar en cuenta la época del Año Litúrgico que corresponde a los cincuen-
ta días de Pascua. Nuestras costumbres piadosas podrían enfa zar la par cipación de la Virgen en el Misterio Pascual y en el
Pentecostés con el inicio de la Iglesia. Nuestros ejercicios espirituales relacionados con el mes de mayo pueden destacar fácil-
mente el papel desempeñado por María, Reina de los Cielos, aquí y ahora, en la celebración de los Sacramentos del Bau smo,
la Confirmación y la Santa Eucaris a.
Las siguientes costumbres recomendadas por la Iglesia nos ofrecen maneras como sugerencias para honrar a la Virgen durante
su mes. Compar ré algunos durante todo el mes para que podamos prac carlo o compar rlo con familiares y amigos.
El Regina Caeli
La Iglesia dirige esta an fona a María por la Resurrección de su Hijo. Anuncia, y depende de, la invitación a la alegría dirigida
por Gabriel a la humilde sierva del Señor que fue llamada a conver rse la Madre del Mesías. Aquí está la oración en su totali-
dad:
R: Reina del cielo, alégrate, aleluya.
T: Porque el Señor, a quien has llevado en tu vientre, aleluya.
G: Ha resucitado según su palabra, aleluya.
T: Ruega al Señor por nosotros, aleluya.
G: Goza y alégrate, Virgen María, aleluya.
T: Porque en verdad ha resucitado el Señor, aleluya.
Oremos:
Oh Dios, que, por la resurrección de Tu Hijo, Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, has llenado el mundo de alegría, concédenos, por inter-
cesión de su Madre, la Virgen María, llegar a los gozos eternos. Por Jesucristo Nuestro Señor. Amen.
Gloria al Padre y al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo, como era en el principio ahora y siempre por los siglos de los siglos. Amen. (tres
veces)
El Rosario
También llamado el Salterio de la San sima Virgen María, el Rosario es una de las oraciones más excelentes a la Madre de
Dios. Así, "los Romanos Pon fices han exhortado repe damente a los fieles a la recitación frecuente de esta oración de inspi-
ración bíblica que se centra en la contemplación de los acontecimientos salvíficos de la vida de Cristo y su estrecha asociación
con la Virgen Madre de Dios". Tal vez podamos rezar el rosario en familia o si no todo el rosario que una década de él. El rosa-
rio como dijo San Juan Pablo II está orando a Jesús a través de los ojos de María. Todos tenemos un rosario par cular al que
estamos apegados tal vez uno que teníamos creciendo o uno que alguien nos dio en un viaje a Roma o Tierra Santa, recójalo y
récelo. El Siervo de Dios P. Patrick Payton, CSC famoso por los mí nes de rosario popularizó el dicho: "La familia que reza jun-
tos; permanece juntos."
Aquí en nuestra parroquia tendremos nuestra Novena anual del Día de la Madre, así que los invito a ver en nuestro si o web y
redes sociales para que podamos inscribir a nuestras madres tanto vivas como fallecidas. Todas las madres inscritas tendrán su
imagen colocada en la iglesia al rededor la imagen de la Virgen, serán recordadas en nueve misas, y tendrán un homenaje mu-
sical virtual en línea.
Por favor, marque sus calendarios para la Misa de Fá ma que comenzará el 13 de mayo. Y cada 13 del mes de mayo hasta el
13 de octubre a las 6:30 pm. ¿Cuál es el significado central del mensaje de Fá ma? Nada diferente de lo que la Iglesia siempre
ha enseñado: es, como ha dicho el cardenal Ratzinger, ahora Papa emérito Benedicto XVI,"la exhortación a la oración como el
camino de la "salvación para las almas" y, del mismo modo, la convocatoria a la penitencia y la conversión". Acompáñenos a la
misa, rosario y procesión a la luz de las velas.
Pido su caridad en orar por nuestros hijos y jóvenes que se prepararán para los sacramentos de la Santa Comunión y confirma-
ción. Estas próximas semanas tenemos la bendición de tener muchas ac vidades en la parroquia en con las cuales recordamos
que nuestra comunidad parroquial prac ca el fervor de la fe, la hermosa tradición de acompañar a nuestros jóvenes a los sa-
cramentos y la invitación a seguir viviendo la fe.
¡Les deseo una buena semana!
