From Rome With Love Open your heart to mercy! Divine

mercy is stronger than the sins of

men. - Pope Francis @Pontifex

March 3, 2016

I Am the Light of the World

His Excellency, the Most

Reverend Edgar M. da Cunha,

Bishop of Fall River, has

authorized the formation of a

new class for the formation of

Permanent Deacons beginning

in the spring of 2019.

Who Is the Deacon? Let them be merciful and zealous, and let them walk

according to the truth of the Lord who became servant of all. St. Polycarp’s admonition to deacons, Lumen

Gentium, #29

The Order of Deacons was restored as a

permanent and public ministry in the Roman Church at

the Second Vatican Council. The aims of the diaconate

are to enrich and strengthen the works of service being

performed by the Church, to enlist a new group of devout

and competent married and single men in the active

ministry of the Church, and to aid in extending needed

charitable and liturgical service to the faithful. Wives of

deacons assist in many of these areas. The number of

deacons has continued to grow steadily, and there are

now more than 15,000 permanent deacons ministering in

the United States. There are more than 90 active deacons

in the Diocese of Fall River, and nine men currently in

formation.

A deacon is ordained to the three-fold ministry of

Word, Liturgy, and Charity, working in obedience to his

bishop and in close fraternal cooperation with priests.

Through Holy Orders, the deacon acquires a special

relationship to the bishop. While all Christians are called

to serve others, the deacon is an icon of the Servant

Christ in the Church. The deacon should be a creative

leader, one who gradually initiates a meaningful response

of loving service from the community to those who are in

spiritual or material need. The deacon’s ministry of

Word, Liturgy, and Charity may include:

¨ Word: proclaiming the Gospel, preaching at Mass,

catechesis, evangelization, and sacramental

preparation

¨ Liturgy: serving at the Eucharistic Table, solemnly

baptizing, witnessing marriages, bringing viaticum to

the dying, and presiding over funerals and burials

¨ Charity: serving the poor and marginalized, visiting

the sick and imprisoned, ministering to the dying.

From Father Perry

I take this opportunity to once again express my sincerest

thanks to everyone who worked so diligently and so

devotedly to make the ceremonies of Holy Week and

Easter weekend so beautiful. The countless details which

go into planning the ceremonies is often not evident, but

would surely be evident had they not been attended to, so

again thank you to so many.

The season of Lent provided numerous opportunities to

receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. As a matter of

fact, they were approximately 22 scheduled times that

confessions were offered at the parishes of Our Lady of

Victory and Our Lady of the Assumption during the

Lenten season.

This weekend, now that the cold and flu season seems to

be behind us, we will once again begin offering

Communion under both species. The fullest expression of

the Eucharist takes place when Communion is received

under both species. The Church teaches us that the grace

of the sacrament is received whether we receive just the

body or just blood of Christ.

As we resume the practice of receiving Communion

under both species, it is also a good time for us to closely

self-examine how we receive Communion. The practice

of an act of reverence before Communion should not

disrupt the Communion line, nor should it become a trip

hazard for the person who is following behind us. An act

of reverence should not take place as the priest or

extraordinary minister is trying to place the host in your

hands or on your tongue, but instead, before that time.

When receiving the Most Precious Blood, this is to be

done from the chalice. The practice of intincture (dipping

the host in the Precious Blood) is forbidden for the

obvious reason of potential spillage and disrespect to the

most Precious Blood of Jesus. Since there are many

people with gluten intolerance issues, the placing of the

host in the Most Precious Blood also then makes it

impossible for those people to receive Communion.


Faith Club The Faith Club will be beginning the Spring Session. We will meet April 11

to June 13 on Wednesdays from 7 pm to 8:30 pm in Room M1 of the OLV Parish Center. The purpose of this session is to help those who need assistance in understanding the readings at Mass and to build fellowship. FMI: call Barbara Murphy, 508-428-8266 or Peggy Wroe, 508-420-2910.

chair for support. Chair yoga relieves the symptoms of many health issues.

Cape Cod Caring Cards—Food Cards Have you wondered what our dedicated volunteers are selling after Masses? Do you food shop at Shaw’s, Stop and Shop or Whole Foods? Well...after most Masses you can buy Cape Cod Caring Cards. These are cards that you can purchase for face value and use when you food shop or eat out. How this helps — 5% of the cost of the card is donated directly to Housing Assistance Corporation's Project Prevention Program. They provide financial assistance to prevent your neighbors from homelessness following a short-term crisis. So, when you food shop, why not buy a card and use it to pay for your groceries or

purchases? If cards are not being sold at the Mass you attend, consider signing up to volunteer your time or

come to the OLV Office and purchase cards during office hours. ¨ This Ministry would not be successful without our

faithful volunteers….and we need more help! If you can share your time and talents after the 7am and 8:30am Masses or with other aspects of the program, please call Paul at 508-737-6406. Thank you!

Send Your Petitions To Our Lady of

Lourdes Tom Duffy, an OLV parishioner, will be traveling to Lourdes in May. He has, once again, kindly offered to bring with him any petitions that people would like to be left at Our Lady of Lourdes. Petitions can be left at the Parish Office until April 30.

Calling All Golfers! Exciting

Opportunity! Here is a chance to play golf and help financially support Our Lady of Victory. Twin Brooks Golf Course is offering you a wonderful opportunity to do both! Pick up your special OLV/Twin Brooks Golf Card at the OLV Parish Office and use it each time you play golf

all season at Twin Brooks. Each time you scan the card when you play golf, Twin Brooks will donate a portion of every round played directly to OLV. That’s right, you play golf and Twin Brooks donates money to our wonderful parish — all at no extra cost to you. The program runs until October 15, 2018. You can pick up your OLV Golf card at the OLV office during regular office hours. Twin Brooks Golf Course, 35 Scudder Ave., Hyannis. www.TwinBrooks.net What a great way to enjoy a round of golf and help your parish too.

Food Pantry Needs Just a reminder --- the Food Pantry at St. Francis Church provides food for many

needy families from our parish and this area of the Cape. They are always in need of non-perishable food and household items (no clothing) especially at this time of year as we approach the winter months. There is a box by the side entrance in Our Lady of Victory Church, a basket by the main entrance of Our Lady of the Assumption and a basket in the rear of the church at Our Lady of Hope, if you would like to drop off an item or leave a small bag that could be distributed. So many families would be most grateful for what you could share with them. Thank you on behalf of all who use the Food Pantry.

SPECIAL FOR MOTHER’S

DAY

On Mother’s Day we honor our mothers and the women who shaped our lives. Let them know your gratitude and love for them by requesting a special Mass in their honor. We will remember them when we celebrate the Eucharist at Masses on Mother’s Day weekend, May 12 and 13. Special Spiritual Gift Mother’s Day cards are available for $10 in the OLV Parish Office.

DIVINE MERCY

SUNDAY

Who taught you mercy?

Moral leaders agree that the number one lesson we need to teach children

is mercy. If the next generation is to survive in an ever-shrinking world full of very different cultures, the willingness to seek understanding and to dialogue across worldviews is key. The starting point for that kind of empathetic listening is a heart open to compassion. Compassion literally means “to bear with”: to see and feel another’s burdens. Who taught you mercy, and how will someone learn it from you?

“The community of believers was of one mind and heart, and . . . they had everything in common.”

SOLEMNITY OF THE

ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD

The three best words

Mary is the mother of the church and the model of all Christians. At the message of an angel, she believed beyond all reason and offered her life in service of God’s plan. Her response, “let it be,” is the answer of every disciple who trusts in God’s word to make all things new. In the season of Lent, God invites us to believe that we, too, are called to that service. Even though we are sinners—“how can this be?”—we live in hope of God’s forgiveness and trust

that God will work through us to bring about the

fulfillment. “Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ ”

Tuesday, Apr 10, 2018

Be prepared to testify

In the Book of Acts we are told that “with great power the apostles bore witness to Resurrection.” In fact, said Benedictine monk Columba Stewart in National Geographic, the “apostles were the movement’s cutting edge, spreading the message across the vast trade network of the ancient world and leaving small Christian communities in their paths.” This missionary zeal is passed on to each new generation of Christians, but it takes different forms. Today, although many Christians still travel to foreign lands to serve the poor and give witness to Christ, believers are also encouraged to evangelize—spread the gospel—within their own homes, parishes, and local communities. How is your evangelization going? Hint: They should know you are Christian by your love.

MEMORIAL OF STANISLAUS, BISHOP& MARTYR

Like Archbishop Óscar Romero of El Salvador in the 20th century and Thomas à Becket of England in the 12th century, Saint Stanislaus (c. 1030-79) was, according to tradition, killed in church, in this case while celebrating Mass. Stanislaus’ murderer was the king of Poland, with whom he had a number of disputes over land and the king’s harsh rule. Throughout history the church has come into conflict with the powers that be. Jesus, of course, was put to death by the religious and political authorities of his time. Dorothy Day, of Catholic Worker fame, wrote in 1966: “Every new development for the last three centuries has brought [human beings] closer to the state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State.” But for Christians, she said, Christ must be our guide. Who’s yours?

“But whoever lives the truth comes to the light.”

Listen to the right voice

If it’s all up for grabs, why pay

attention to what others teach or

preach when everyone has their

own relationship with God?

After all, the Bible says, “Obey

God, not humans.” Well, yes—and no. Indeed the buck

does stop with God in that we are oriented by our nature

to listen to God and respond to God’s call. But there’s a

lot out there to compete with our natural inclinations—

fear, vulnerability, peer pressure, misinformation, and

more—all of which can provide compelling alternative

messages. Fortunately God graces us with not only our

own lights but scripture and the church to give us a

better sense of how to navigate. Think about the ways in

your own life that God uses to connect with you.

“We must obey God rather than men.”

MEMORIAL OF MARTIN I, POPE, MARTYR

Gone should not be forgotten

Saint Martin is the last pope in history to be honored as

a martyr, but his death for the faith did not occur

quickly. After being elected pope in 649 he made

enemies by opposing a heresy and condemning the

emperor for supporting that heresy. As a result, while

lying sick, Martin was kidnapped and carted off to the

East, where he was jailed and eventually exiled. During

this time he was given poor food, not allowed to wash

regularly, and came down with dysentery. On top of that

he was ignored by his church back home. “I wonder . . .

at those who belong to the church of Saint Peter for the

little concern they show for one of their body,” he

wrote. Let this saint’s experience motivate you to

perform the corporal works of mercy denied him—like

clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, and visiting the

prisoner. “There was not a needy person among them.”

Saturday, Apr 14, 2018

It is I Jesus had sent the disciples on ahead of him in a boat.

During the night the going got pretty rough. In the midst

of their struggle—remember, they were rowing—Jesus

came toward them on the water, a startling development

even though it meant rescue. Jesus allayed their fears

with three words: “It is I.” Actually, it’s only two, in

Greek: “I am.” Sound familiar? They are the words God

uses to identify himself at a number of places in

scripture. So Jesus isn’t merely saying, “Don’t worry,

it’s me.” He’s declaring that he is God but also that God

simply is—the foundation of everything. Next time

you find yourself rowing against the waves of trouble,

remember you’re always on solid ground with God.

“He said to them, ‘It is I. Do not be afraid.’


Saint Faustina: Mankind’s need

for the message of Divine Mercy

took on dire urgency in the 20th

Century, when civilization began

to experience an “eclipse of the

sense of God” and, therefore to

lose the understanding of the

sanctity and inherent dignity of

human life. In the 1930s, Jesus

chose a humble Polish nun, St. Maria Faustina

Kowalska, to receive private revelations concerning

Divine Mercy that were recorded in her Diary.

Divine Mercy Sunday: St. Faustina’s Diary records 14

occasions when Jesus requested that a Feast of Mercy

(Divine Mercy Sunday) be observed, for example:

“My daughter, tell the whole world about My

inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be

a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor

sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy

are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those

souls who approach the Fount of My mercy. The soul

that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion

shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and

punishment. ..Let no soul fear to draw near to Me. … It

is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first

Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it

turns to the Fount of My Mercy.” (Diary, no. 699)

On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of

St. Faustina, the Vatican decreed that the Second Sunday

of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy

Sunday.

The Image: Jesus appeared to St. Faustina in a vision,

with his right hand raised in a blessing and his left

touching his garment above his heart. Red and white rays

emanate from his heart, symbolizing the blood and water

that was poured out for our salvation and our

sanctification. The Lord requested that “Jesus, I trust in

You” be inscribed under his image. Jesus asked that his

image be painted and venerated throughout the world: “I

promise that the soul that will venerate this image will

not perish” (Diary, no. 48) and “By means of this image I

will grant many graces to souls” (Diary, no. 742).

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy: The Chaplet was also

given to St. Faustina with this promise: “Encourage souls

to say the chaplet which I have given you” (Diary, no.

1541). “Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at

the hour of death. … Even if there were a sinner most

hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he

would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire that

the whole world know My infinite mercy” (Diary, no.

687). FMI: search Divine Mercy at www.usccb.org

The Green Team The great Catholic writer Ernesto Cardenal in Abide in

Love observes: "Everything in nature has a

trademark, God's trademark: the stripes on a

shell and the stripes on a zebra; the grain of

the wood and the veins of the dry leaf; the

markings on the dragonfly's wings and the

pattern of stars on a photographic plate; the panther's coat

and the epidermal cells of the lily petal; the structure of

atoms and galaxies. All bear God's fingerprints." Go for a

walk and look for God's trademarks. Better still, use a

camera to document evidence of God's fingerprints in the

Our Men and Women in the Service Our parishes pray for those currently serving, at

Deacons, Called to Serve, continued…...

Becoming a deacon involves a vocation from God; it is not simply another volunteer job or ministry. Therefore, a person becomes a deacon not just out of personal desire or interest, but for the common good of the Church as determined by the bishop. It is for these reasons that the selection, discernment, and formation of deacon candi-dates are rigorous efforts. The entire formation process, in fact, is a journey of discernment. Through systematic opportunities for prayer, spiritual direction, formal course work, and pastoral-skills development, the candidate is able to reflect critically on his life and the various minis-tries to which he might be assigned. This process of dis-cernment continues to the very moment of ordination.

If you have any questions regarding the Diaco-nate process you can contact or talk to either Deacon Jim or Deacon Ted. Or you can talk with Keith Caldwell, who presently is in the ninth class of diaconate formation. Each of us will be more than glad to spend some time with you. In fact, we look forward to it. You can always call the OLV office and they can contact us for you, or see us when you are at church or parish functions.

In addition, you can go on the diaconate website at the Diocese of Fall River, Office of the Permanent Di-aconate for much more information. Looking forward to talking with you. God bless, Deacon Jim, Deacon Ted and diaconal candidate Keith
