together for this celebration. In case of

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

God dwells. Is Jesus a permanent member of your family or

a temporary guest? Today the promise is given. The choice

is yours.

Keystone Audiology &

Hearing Aids Inc.

834-7721

We offer a wide rage of loop

compatible hearing aids.

Think of a symphony orchestra. It's made up of

a hundred different musicians and dozens of

instruments. The conductor is the visible focus of

everyone's attention, both the musicians and the

audience. And yet, is the conductor the real source of

the music? No, the composer is. In front of every

musician is a music stand holding a few pages marked

with black dots - the score, the music. No one in the

audience sees the score, but that score is what brings

all those minds together, coordinates everyone's efforts,

and produces a beautiful, inspiring performance.

That's what the Church is like. The Pope is the

conductor, guaranteed by God to stay faithful to the

musical score. We are all musicians, contributing our

own unique talents to the symphony of holiness that

resounds throughout the world and history. And the

Holy Spirit is the living musical score, the one who tells

us what notes to play, when to play them, how fast to

play them, how loud and soft. He is the silent force

behind the power of every saint, every Christian, and

the Church as a whole.

This same quiet but powerful style of the Holy

Spirit is illustrated by the famous Holy Spirit Window in

St Peter's Basilica, in Rome. It is an oval window at the

farthest end of the gigantic basilica. In the center is a

figure of a dove, and around the dove are twelve

sections of translucent amber that look like twelve

spokes in a wheel. It is the only colored window in the

entire building, and it quietly suffuses the immense

space with a warm, golden light.

Quiet and subtle, yet full of transforming power -

that's how the Holy Spirit likes to work.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary

A Solemn Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the

Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your son on earth, we conse-

crate ourselves and our

families and our Church to your

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people

of our country and all the world.

Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish

Your designs in the world.

O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World,

rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of

Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of

modern paganism: kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life,

and ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully.

We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love, Inflame us with the same Divine

Fire which has inflamed your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine,

and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home. Amen
