Dear Mary Star of the Sea Parishioners: As we continue the Easter Season, I thought it might be helpful to read something on the interces-sion of St. Michael and his constant care for the Church and each of us. I hope you find it enjoya-ble. Fr. Harrigan Pastor Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel. by Father Prosper Gueranger 1870 David foretold that the Emmanuel’s coming into this world would be greeted by the Angels, and that they would humbly adore him on his first appearing among us (Ps. xcvi. 8, Heb. i. 6). We saw this prophecy ful-filled on the Night ever blessed, when Mary brought forth the Fruit of her womb. The Angelic choirs sang one of their heavenly hymns, which led the Shepherds to the Stable; we blended our songs with theirs, in homage to our Infant-God. The Resurrection of our Emmanuel was sure to be honoured by the presence of these blessed Spirits, who had witnessed, with amazement and trembling, the humiliations and cruelties of His Passion. The moment He passed through the barrier that imprisoned Him in his Sepulchre, an Angel, with a face beaming as the sun, and garments white as snow, came and rolled back the Stone, and pro-claimed to the holy Women, that He Whom they were seeking had risen. When they entered the cave of the Sepulchre, two other Angels, clad in white robes, appeared to them, and repeated the tidings of Jesus’ triumph. Let us reverently honor these princely heralds of our deliverance, and consider how respectfully they cluster round Jesus their King and God, during the forty days after His Resurrection. They adore this glorified Humanity, which they are soon to see raised up to the highest heavens, and throned at the Father’s right hand. They rejoice with us in the happiness brought to us by this Paschal Feast, which restores immortality to us in the person of our Risen Saviour; and thus, as St. Gregory told us a few days back, “it is the Feast of the Angels, because, by its recalling us to heaven, it fills up their number.” It was but right, therefore, that Paschal Time should devote one of its days to honouring the Angelic Spirits. Eight days previous to the Annunciation, we kept the feast of St. Gabriel, our Lady’s honoured messenger; today, it is St. Michael, the Archangel and Prince of the heavenly host, that is to receive our love and praise. He himself selected this day, by appearing on it, and leaving us a pledge of his presence and protection. The very name of Michael urges us to honour this glorious Spirit; it is a cry of enthusiasm and fidelity, for it signifies: “Who is like unto God?” Satan trembles at hearing this name, for it reminds him of the noble pro-test wherewith the bright Archangel answered the call of the rebel angels. Michael proved his strength and prowess when he fought the great battle in heaven. On that account, he was made the Guardian and Protec-tor of God’s people; of the Jews first, and afterwards, of the Christian Church, for the Synagogue forfeited all her honours. Michael now watches over Jesus’ Spouse, our mother; he supports her in her trials, and she wins no triumph in which he has not had some hand. But, we are not to suppose, that the holy Archangel is so engaged in looking after the general interests of Christ’s kingdom on earth, that he cannot attend to the prayers of each individual member of the Church. God has given him a compassionate love for men; and there is not a single soul that escapes his notice. He wields the sword in defence of the Spouse of Christ; he wars with the dragon, who is ever lying in wait for the Woman and her Child (Apoc. xii. 13); but, at the same time, he is attentive to each one of us; for, after having confessed our sins to Almighty God, and to the Blessed Mary ever a Virgin, we acknowledge them likewise to Blessed Michael the Archangel, and beseech him to pray for us to the Lord our God.

He assists at every death-bed, for his special office is to receive the souls of the elect, on their quitting the flesh. He, with loving solicitude and princely bearing, presents them to the Light Eternal, and introduces them into the House of God’s glory. It is holy Church herself that tells us, in the words of her Liturgy, of these preroga-tives of the great Archangel. She teaches us, that he has been set over Paradise, and that God has given him the charge of leading to heaven the souls of them that are to be received there. On the Last Day, when our Risen Jesus is to appear on the clouds of heaven to judge mankind, Michael will have to fulfil a ministry of awful im-port; he, with the rest of the Angels, will have to separate the good from the bad, all of whom will then have resumed their bodies in the general resurrection. Our Catholic Forefathers, in the Middle Ages, were fond of representing the holy Archangel engaged in this dread function. They put him standing at the foot of Jesus’ judgment-seat, and holding a scale, in which he is weighing the souls of men and their works. Devotion to St. Michael was sure to spread through the Church, especially after the worship of idols had been banished from the various countries, and men were no longer tempted to give divine honour to creatures. Constantine built in honour of the great Archangel a celebrated Church called Michaelion; and at the time of Constantinople’s falling under the power of the Turks, there were no less than fifteen Churches that bore the name of Saint Michael, either in the City or the suburbs. In other parts of Christendom, this devotion took root only by degrees; and it was by the holy Archangel’s ap-pearing to men, that the Faithful were prompted to have recourse to him. These apparitions were local, and for reasons which to us might seem of secondary importance: but God, Who, from little causes, produces great ef-fects, made use of them whereby to excite Christians to have confidence in their heavenly protector. The Greeks celebrate the apparition that took place at Chone, the ancient Colossa, in Phrygia. There was, in that city, a Church dedicated to St. Michael, and it was frequently visited by a holy man, named Archippus, who was vio-lently persecuted by the pagans. One day, when Archippus was at his devotions in his favorite St. Michael’s, his enemies resolved to destroy both him and the Church. Hard by, ran a brook which flowed into the river Lycus: this they turned off, and flooded the ground on which stood the Church. Suddenly, there appeared the Archan-gel St. Michael, holding a rod in his hand: the water immediately receded, and flowed into a deep gulf, near Colossa, where the Lycus empties itself and disappears. The date of this apparition is not certain, beyond its having occurred at the period when the pagans were numerous enough in Colossa to harass the Christians. Another apparition, which encouraged devotion to St. Michael in Italy, took place on Mount Gargano, in Apu-lia; it is the one honoured by today’s feast. A third happened on Mount Tomba, on the coast of Normandy: we will commemorate it on the 16th October. The feast we are keeping today is not so solemn as the one of September 29th; it is, however, more exclusively in honour of St. Michael, inasmuch as the Autumn Feast includes all the choirs of the Angelic hierarchy. The Roman Breviary gives us the following account of the apparition on Mount Gargano. That the blessed Archangel Michael has often appeared to men, is attested both by the authority of sacred Scripture, and by the ancient tradition of the Saints. Hence, the memory of these apparitions is commemorated in divers places. As, heretofore, Michael was honoured by the Synagogue of the Jews as Guardian and Patron, so is he now by the Church of God. A celebrated apparition of the Archangel took place, under the pontificate of Gelasius 1st, in Apulia, on the top of Mount Gargano, at whose foot lies the town of Siponto. A bull, belonging to a man who lived on the mountain, having strayed from the herd, was, after much search-ing, found hemmed fast in the mouth of a cave. One of its pursuers shot an arrow, with a view to rouse the ani-mal by a wound; but the arrow rebounding, struck him that had sent it. This circumstance excited so much fear in the by-standers and in them that heard of it, that no one dared to go near the cave. The inhabitants of Siponto, therefore, consulted the Bishop; who answered, that in order to know God’s will, they must spend three days in fasting and prayer. At the end of the three days, the Archangel Michael intimated to the Bishop, that the place was under his pro-tection, and that what had occurred was an indication of his will that God should be worshipped there, in hon-our of himself and the Angels. Whereupon, the Bishop repaired to the cave, together with his people. They found it like a Church in shape, and began to use it for the celebration of the divine service. Many miracles were afterwards wrought there. Not long after, Pope Boniface dedicated a Church in honour of St. Michael, in the great Circus of Rome, on the third of the Kalends of October (September 29th), the day on which the Church celebrates the memory of all the ArchAngels.

“I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord. I will come back to you,

and your hearts will rejoice.”

Gospel Mark 16: 15-20

Evangelio Marcos 16: 15-20

Id por todo el mundo y predicad el evangelio a toda criatura. El que crea y sea bautizado será salvo; pero el que no crea será condenado. Y estas señales acompañarán a los que han creído: en mi nombre echarán fuera demonios, hablarán en nuevas lenguas; tomarán serpientes en las manos, y aunque beban algo mortífero, no les hará daño; sobre los enfermos pondrán las manos, y se pondrán bien. Entonces, el Señor Jesús, después de hablar con ellos, fue recibido en el cielo y se sentó a la diestra de Dios. Y ellos salieron y predicaron por todas partes, colaborando el Señor con ellos, y confirmando la palabra por medio de las señales que la seguían.

Gospel Mark 16:15-20

Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the precious gift of life.

Help us to cherish and protect this gift, even in the midst of fear, pain, and suffering.

Give us love for all people, especially the most vulnerable, and help us bear witness to the truth that every life is worth living.

Grant us the humility to accept help when we are in need, and teach us to be merciful to all. Through our words and actions, may others encounter the outstretched hands of Your mercy.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen

Welcome to the Christian World and let us celebrate

their Baptism! May the grace of God be upon them on this special day.

The feast of the Ascension of the Lord is a template for changes that leave us behind when someone we admire leaves. Imagine how the disciples felt after sharing in Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and ascension. Not only has their teacher left them, he has disappeared from their world.

Now they are truly alone. But in reality, they are not alone and will never again be alone. Jesus’ ascension into heaven is a powerful reminder of the work Jesus left for us to do. There is probably no clearer sign that we are to be the hands and feet and smile of Jesus in this world. He has left us the keys of the kingdom where he awaits to receive us. We are to continue his work because he is present on this earth in a spiritual way. Jesus will never leave us alone. He promises to send the Holy Spirit to be our helper. Are we ready to continue the mission given him by the Father and given to us? We can do it if we try to see the face of Christ in everyone we encounter. Jesus awaits us in the ordinary events of the day.

Dear Parishioners of Mary Star: Below is an ancient prayer to St. Joseph asking his protection and help in all our need. I encourage you to recite it each day in honor of this Year dedicated to St. Joseph. May God Reward You. Fr. Harrigan

Prayer to St. Joseph

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me all spiritual blessings through your Divine Son, Jesus, so that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, please pray for me. Amen.

MSSE News: We hope that you all had a beautiful Mothers Day, celebrating the special mother in your life. As a school, we honored our Mother Mary with a special school Mass and brought her beautiful flowers. This May Crowning Mass has been a wonderful MSSE tradition and it was very nice to be back in church together as a school. Traditionally, second grade students who

recently received their First Communion take part in the procession. However, due to COVID restrictions last year, the third grade class also joined the procession this year. Eighth grade students who qualify for the academic acknowledgement of CJSF are part of the May Crowning Court, while other eighth graders join by holding floral arches for the celebrants. Two eighth grade students were chosen to crown the statue of the Blessed Mother. These students were chosen for being good Christian witnesses, having a positive attitude, always working hard, being respectful and showing kindness towards others. Towards the end of the Mass, everyone consecrated themselves to Our Blessed Mother. May She continue to guide us and bring us closer to Jesus.

UPCOMING EVENT: Our spring fundraiser, Night at the Races, will take place
