I plan to leave after Masses Sunday to check in on my
mother in Sioux Falls. I will return in the late afternoon on
Tuesday. I will be having my spinal fusion and two
decompressions on Wednesday, May 3 at the Midwest
Surgical Center.
MAY IS MARY’S MONTH!
Pope Paul VI wrote and
encyclical letter in which he
described the month of
May as the "month which
the piety of the faithful has
especially dedicated to Our
Blessed Lady," and it is the occasion for a "moving tribute of
faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world [pay]
to the Queen of Heaven. During this month Christians, 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 veneration. In this month, too, the benefits of God's mercy
come down to us from her throne in greater abundance.”
This Christian custom of dedicating the month of May to
the Blessed Virgin arose at the end of the 13th century. In this
way, the Church was able to Christianize the secular feasts
which took place at that time. In the 16th century, books
appeared and fostered this devotion.
The practice became especially popular among the
members of the Jesuit Order — by 1700 it took hold among
their students at the Roman College and a bit later it was
publicly practiced in the Gesu Church in Rome. From there it
spread to the whole Church.
These practices have been recommended by various
popes and are offered as suggestions for honoring Our Lady
during Her month. Pray the Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven).
The Rosary is one of the most excellent prayers to the
Mother of God. "The Roman Pontiffs have repeatedly exhorted
the faithful to the frequent recitation of this biblically inspired
prayer which is centered on contemplation of the salvific events
of Christ's life, and their close association with the Virgin
Mother."
Litanies of the Blessed Virgin Mary: These consist of a
long series of invocations to Our Lady, which follow in a
uniform rhythm, thereby creating a stream of prayer
characterized by insistent praise and supplication while
reminding of her various titles.
Consecration and Entrustment to Mary: The Popes have
frequently expressed appreciation for the pious practice of
"consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary" and the formulas
publicly used by them are well known.
St. Louis de Montfort is one of the great masters of the
spirituality underlying the act of "consecration to Mary". He
"proposed to the faithful consecration to Jesus through Mary,
as an effective way of living out their baptismal commitment."
The Brown Scapular and other Scapulars: The scapular is
an external sign of the filial relationship established between
the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Queen of Mount Carmel,
and the faithful who entrust themselves totally to her
protection, who have recourse to her maternal intercession,
who are mindful of the primacy of the spiritual life and the
need for prayer.
Medals (such as the Miraculous Medal): These are
witnesses of faith and a sign of veneration of the Holy Mother
of God, as well as of trust in her maternal protection. The
Church blesses such objects of Marian devotion in the belief
that "they help to remind the faithful of the love of God, and to
increase trust in the Blessed Virgin Mary."
More About Singing at Mass (taken from
The Third Typical Edition of the Roman Missal,
2011 edition):
There is an Appendix in this edition of
the Missal in use since the First Sunday of
Advent, 2011 that outlines the various
Gregorian Chant Tones which may be used
in various parts of the Mass. There is a simple tone and a
solemn tone for most parts. The following parts of the Mass
may be chanted in English.
The opening greeting, penitential act, the concluding
blessing and dismissal. The prayers of the priest-celebrant:
Opening Collect, Prayer over the Gifts, Closing Prayer. There
are tones for lectors to chant the Old Testament and New
Testament readings as well as tones for the Priest or Deacon
to chant the Gospel. The Creed, the Prayers of the Faithful
and the Lord’s Prayer may be chanted.
The purpose, of course, is to add greater solemnity to the
celebration. These are all options; not necessarily required
and have, for the most part, been largely neglected.
Update – Consortium Dual-Language School in St. Stan’s
Building: Word received on April 19 indicates that there are
53 students registered in the program at this time.
Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for May:
The Mission of the Laity: That the lay faithful may fulfil their
specific mission, by responding with creativity to the
challenges that face the world today.

An Important Reminder about REVERENT SILENCE:
At St. Stanislaus we recently began exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament at 4 p.m. with Benediction before the beginning
of Mass. A few people don’t seem to be aware that this is
going on and they engage in loud conversation as though in
a social hall or other public place. It is often similar at Holy
Ghost before weekend Masses as well … from the confes-
sional I hear loud conversations which are definitely NOT
conversations with God. Please be mindful of WHERE you
are and WHO IS PRESENT IN THE MONSTRANCE ON THE
ALTAR OR IN THE TABERNACLE.
Pleas pray for the repose of the soul of † Phil Miller who
passed away this week.

Stewardship Reflection: “Children, let us love not in word or
speech but in deed and truth.” – 1 JOHN 3:18
Regarding our Catholic faith, do you “walk the talk?” Do your
actions reflect what it means to be a good disciple? Are you
an active participant at Sunday Mass? Are you joyful when
participating in parish ministry? Do you give gratefully and
generously with your financial support to your parish and
other Church needs? If not, it’s not too late to start!
Word of Life: “If we are filled with the love
of God, a culture of encounter and solidarity
will begin to bloom.”
