Our Lady of Lourdes begins
First Saturday Devotion to the
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
on
February 4th, 2017 at 9:00 AM
and goes every month through
June.
Our Lady promised Lucia at Fatima on July 13 th, 1917,
that there would be a future manifestation concerning the
practice of the Five First Saturdays and it was fulfilled on
December 10th, 1925 saying:
"Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy
Mother, covered with thorns which ungrateful men place
therein at every moment, while there is no one who does an act
of reparation to withdraw them for her."
Our Lady then addressed Lucia as follows:
"Behold, my daughter, my Heart encircled with thorns, with
which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment by their
blasphemies and ingratitude. Give me consolation, you, at
least; and make known on my behalf that I promise to assist at
the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all
who on the First Saturday of five consecutive months confess
their sins, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the
Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes meditating
on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the purpose of making
reparation to my Immaculate Heart."

Chalking the Door
20 + C + M + B + 17
What is Chalking the Door?
This short liturgy is a way of marking our homes, usually at the front or
main entrance, with sacred signs and symbols as we ask God’s blessing
upon those who live, work, or visit throughout the coming year. In
Exodus, the Israelites marked their doors with blood so that the Lord
would pass over their homes; but in this service, we mark our doors with
chalk as a sign that we have invited God’s presence and blessing into our
homes.
It takes place on January 6th on the feast day of the Epiphany, which
commemorates the visiting of the Christ Child by the three Magi (Wise
Men) with their gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh. On Twelfth-Night in
Europe, many families gather in their homes to celebrate this feast with
friends, food, singing, and gifts. It is at these Twelfth-Night celebrations
that “Chalking the Door” is most often observed. A traditional way of
doing this is to use chalk to write above the home’s entrance, 20 + C + M
+ B + 17. What do the numbers and letters mean? The numbers at the
beginning and end of the inscription simply refer to the current year – in
the picture above, 2008. The letters C M B come from the traditional
names for the three kings: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. Some also
suggest “Christus Mansionem Benedicat” which means, “May Christ
bless this dwelling!”
If you would like a Chalking the Door Sign they will be at the entrance of
Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
Diocese Wide Events
13th Annual Walk for Life West Coast will take place on
Saturday, January 21 at the Civic Center plaza, San Francisco
Pro-Life Mass with Bishop Soto
On January 23 Bishop Jaime Soto will celebrate the 12:10 pm mass at the
Cathedral in reparation for the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that made
abortion legal in the United States. Please join our Bishop in asking God
to convert the hearts of all Americans, most especially pregnant mothers,
physicians, judges and legislators. For more information, contact Steve
Patton, 916-733-0133, [email protected]
Pro-Life Youth Program: Choose Life 2017
On January 23 at the Cathedral, the Diocese of Sacramento will offer
Choose Life, a pro-life educational program for middle and high school
youth. Attendees will 1) witness a live large-screen ultrasound, 2) find out
what being "Pro-Life" vs. "Pro-Choice" really means, 3) learn how to
speak and listen compassionately about abortion, and 4) get practical
ideas to make a difference. Attendees from past years describe the
experience as informative, moving, energizing and even entertaining.
While the 10 am to noon morning program is limited to selected Catholic
School students, the evening program from 7 – 8:30 pm is for any middle
or high school student. There is no cost, but pre-registration is requested
to help us with planning. More information at http://scddec.org/respectlife

La Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de
Lourdes comienza la Devoción del Primer
Sábado a la Virgen María el 4 de Febrero
del 2017 a las 9:00 AM hasta el mes de
Junio.
En su tercera aparición en Fátima el 13 de julio de 1917, la Santísima Virgen
anunciaba que vendría una vez más a pedir la Comunión Reparadora de los
Primeros Sábados.
Años más tarde, cuando Lucía ya se encontraba en la Casa de las Religiosas
Doroteas, en Pontevedra (España), Nuestra Señora la visitaba nuevamente y
también a su lado, sobre una nube luminosa, estaba el Niño Jesús:
Mira, hija mía, mi Corazón rodeado de espinas que los hombres ingratos, en cada
momento, me clavan con blasfemias e ingratitudes. Tú, al menos, procura
consolarme y di que a todos aquéllos que :
durante 5 meses - en el primer sábado - se confiesen, reciban la Sagrada
Comunión, recen el Rosario y me hagan 15 minutos de compañía meditando
sobre los Misterios del Rosario, con el fin de desagraviarme, Yo prometo
asistirlos en la hora de la muerte con todas las gracias necesarias para su
salvación.
¿Por qué 5 sábados?
Después de que Lucía pasara unos momentos en oración, Nuestro Señor le
revelaba la causa de ser 5 los sábados de reparación: Hija mía, la razón es
sencilla: se trata de 5 clases de ofensas y blasfemias proferidas contra el
Inmaculado Corazón de María: 1ª - Blasfemias contra su Inmaculada
Concepción. 2ª - Contra su virginidad, 3ª - Contra su Maternidad Divina,
rehusando al mismo tiempo recibirla como Madre de los hombres. 4ª - Contra los
que procuran públicamente infundir en los corazones de los niños, la
indiferencia, el desprecio y hasta el odio hacia la Madre Inmaculada. 5ª - Contra
los que la ultrajan directamente en sus sagradas imágenes.
