Announcements
We joyfully welcome all
visitors to the Shrine
Dear Parishioners,
This coming Wednesday June 29th, we will celebrate, in union with the whole Church, the
Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. These two Apostles, whom the liturgy calls the “Princes
of the Apostles,” and were associated by the mysterious plan of divine Providence, despite
their personal and cultural differences, in a single apostolic adventure.
I thought it will be helpful for all of us in order to prepare ourselves for this great solemnity
to reflect on the liturgical prayers for that day since they let us see the richness and
importance of the celebration.
First of all, we must say that these two saints have always been coupled together in the
devotion of the Christian people. Saint Peter, a fisherman of Bethsaida, was chosen by
Christ to be the foundation stone of his Church. Saint Paul, struck down on the road to
Damascus, went from being a persecutor of Christians to the Apostle of the Gentiles. They
both ended their life with martyrdom in the city of Rome, as we will read in the Preface,
“Both shared a martyr’s death.” Through them the Lord “gave the Church the firstfruits of
the Christian faith” (cf. Collect of the Mass in their honor).
In the Opening Prayer of the Mass for the feast we’ll read that through the apostles Peter
and Paul the Church “first received the faith,” and in the Opening Prayer of the Vigil
(evening of June 28) we’ll refer to them as the “apostles who strengthened the faith of the
infant Church.” In the Prayer after Communion for the vigil we’ll profess that this faith had
its beginning in the teaching of these apostles. This apostolic faith is manifested, as it was
at Jerusalem, in the breaking of the bread, the teaching of the apostles, the community
that is of one heart and should through charity, and the prayers of the apostles.
Consequently, we will pray for “love and unity” in the Prayer over the Gifts.
In Rome, the city of the two apostles, the monument in the Palatine hill from which Caesar
Augustus issued his decrees is reduced to archaeological ruins, but the Apostolic See
which, according to St. Ignatius of Antioch, “presides over the charity of all the churches,”
is rightly acclaimed as the Church of Rome, a Rome that was crimsoned by the blood of
these two great leaders (cf. Office of Readings). Rightly, then, do we sing in the hymn of
Morning Prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours:
Rejoice, O Rome this day; thy walls they once did sign
With princely blood, who now their glory share with thee.
What city’s vesture glows with crimson deep as thine?
What beauty else has earth that may compare with thee.
It is in the city of Rome where the successors of St. Peter have governed the Church for
two-thousands years.
Finally, the martyrdom of St. Peter and St. Paul is also a symbol of the unity of the Church,
as St. Augustine says in the Office of Reading: “Both apostles share the same feast day,
for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they were as
one.”
This solemnity then, remind us all to pray for the Pope –Vicar of Christ and successor of
Saint Peter– and all the bishops in union with him. They are the ones who manifest and
preserve the apostolic tradition in the world. (Cf. II Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, 20)
To conclude, I leave you with St. Ignatius of Antioch’s advice: “Remain submitted to your
bishop, just as Christ submitted himself to the Father…do not do anything against his
will…united to the bishop, just as the Church is united to Christ and Christ to the Father, in
order that, in all things, the harmony of unity may reign.” (Letter 66. VIII, 1)
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the Apostles and Mother of the Church, keep us
always in the one flock of our Lord Jesus Christ.
May God bless you all!

LETTER FROM THE PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
Every six years the Institute of the Incarnate Word celebrates a General Chapter. Having been chosen to be one of the Chapter Fathers representing the Province of the
Immaculate Conception, I will be absent from the parish during the whole month of
July to take part in an 8-day Spiritual Exercises and later to participate on the General
Chapter itself.
However, all scheduled activities in our parish will continue to run as smoothly as always. Remember that this is a very busy summer and I’ll love to hear from my brothers priests who stay here that you are taking part of all the events in great numbers.
If all goes as planned, I’ll look forward to seeing you all on my return. Until then…have
a wonderful summer!
Please, keep me in your prayers as I will keep all of you in mines, especially during
the sacrifice of the Mass.
God bless you all!

The Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary Program
at Our Lady of Peace Church and Shrine is based on St.
Louis de Montfort’s book True Devotion to Mary. This program consists of 33 days of prayer and exercises which help
purify souls to prepare one for Total Consecration to Jesus
through Mary.
In this program, there are two different periods assigned to
these exercises:
 The first period includes 12 days of exercises employed in casting off the spirit of the world which is contrary to Jesus Christ
 The second period consists of 3 weeks: the first devoted to the
Knowledge of Ourselves, the second devoted to the Knowledge of
the Blessed Virgin Mary and the third devoted to that of Jesus
Christ.
The program also includes going to Confession prior to Consecration and
Holy Communion on consecration day with the intention of giving oneself to
Jesus Christ as slaves of love by the hands of Mary.
A prayer book with information and instructions will be provided at the start
of the program.
There will also be Spiritual Talks by IVE and guest priests starting with an
Introductory Talk on the first Saturday at the onset of the 33 days, and every Saturday thereafter until one’s consecration day on November 19, 2016.
All Consecration Participants will consecrate together on November 19, the
Vigil of the Feast of Christ the King at the 5pm mass at Our Lady of Peace
Church & Shrine. Prayers can be recited at one’s home if one is unable to
go to the church.
