Leisure & Free Time By playing, a person develops and matures. Children learn to interpret their knowledge, to test their strengths in competition and to integrate the dif-ferent aspects of their personality. Playing offers a continuous challenge. It involves setting up rules, which have to be freely submitted to in order to play well. Goals are set, and experience is gained in lessen-ing the importance of defeats. All play involves an eth-ical component of responsibility, and therefore helps us to be moral beings. That is why the normal thing is to play with others, to play “in society." This social dimension of play is so deeply root-ed that, even when children play alone, they tend to construct fantastic scenes and other characters with whom they can communicate and interact. In playing, children learn to know themselves and to know others; they experience the joy of being and having fun with others; they assimilate and learn the roles of grown-ups. People learn to play mainly within the family. Living involves playing, competing; but living also means cooperating, helping, learning to get along with others. It is hard to imagine how both aspects—competing and coexisting—could be harmonized out-side the institution of the family. Play is one the basic tests for learning to socialize. Ultimately, the great pedagogical value of play resides in linking affections to actions. That is why few things unite parents and children as strongly as playing together. As Saint Jose-maría used to say, parents need to be friends with their children, and dedicate time generously to them. As children get older, the parents' interest in their leisure activities will take on new forms. For ex-ample, they might encourage them to bring friends over, or go with them to their sporting events. Parents will thus be able to get to know their children's friends and their families better, without giving the wrong im-pression of wanting to control their children or dis-trusting them. (by J.M. Martín and J. Verdiá)

Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest

Rev. Canon Olivier Meney Episcopal Delegate for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in the Diocese of Oakland

Canon Meney - (510) 604-0391 or canon.meney@institute-christ-king.org

YOU ARE AT SAINT MARGARET MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH HUB OF THE LATIN MASS LITURGY IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

The Traditional Latin Mass (now called by the Holy Father: Mass in the Extraordinary Form) is brought to you through the ministry of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

WHAT IS THE INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST?

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right whose goal is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the ser-vice of the Church and souls. Its specific aim is missionary: to spread the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ in all spheres of human life. Our work is carried out under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception, to Whom the Institute is consecrated.

Recognizing the importance of a deep harmony between faith, liturgy, life, and the power of beauty in

attracting the human senses to the things above, an integral part of the Institute’s charism is the use of the traditional Latin Liturgy of 1962 for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the other sacraments. Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of the central role of Grace, especially Charity – these are essential elements of the Institute’s spirituality, which is drawn from its three co-patrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Francis de Sales.

Our motto is “Live the truth in charity." The Institute operates in more than fifty places in twelve countries, where our priests focus on the care of souls in many different ways. To assist our priests in their apostolic work, the Institute also has clerical oblates. In 2004, a community of religious sisters was canonically established to aid the priests in their mis-sion through prayer and apostolic work.

The Institute was founded in 1990 by Monsignor Gilles Wach. Today, the motherhouse and international seminary of the Institute is located in Gricigliano, in the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy.

The Institute serves the faithful of the Bay since 2005 at St. Margaret Mary in Oakland and at Five Wounds in San Jose (Mass at 12:30 pm on Sunday, 12:15 pm on Weekdays but Sat. at 7:30 am)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

The schedule of Masses for the Solemnity of the Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary, Au-gust 15th (Thursday)—a holy day of obligation—is as follows: 8am is the Mass in the Ordinary Form; 12pm & 6pm are Masses in the Extraordinary Form. ● On the weekend of August 24-25, Fr. Joseph Phan will speak at all Masses for the annual Mission Co-Op Appeal. He will speak on behalf of the Apostleship of the Sea. The Apostleship of the Sea is the Catholic ministry to seafarers. In the Diocese of Oakland the Apostleship reaches out to international seafarers coming to the ports in the Diocese. The chaplains and volunteers respond to the seafarers’ pastoral and spiritual needs and provide hospitality to them when they have a short time at the ports. All these services have been done with Christian charity and in the mandate of the Gospel: “When I was a stranger, you welcomed me” (Mt. 25:35). ● The 13th-of-the-Month Devotion to Our Lady of Fatima continues. At the devotions we pray the Rosary, offer the Litany to Our Blessed Mother, then a procession around the block. The schedule for this devotion is as follows: August 13 (Tuesday): after the 6pm Mass. Sept. 13 (Friday): after the 6pm Mass. Oct. 13 (Sunday): after 10:30am Mass ● We are in need of volunteers from this De-cember to May of next year to prepare and serve lunch for the monthly Holy Hour For Priests. This is held on the 3rd Fridays every month. It’s ideal if 2-3 people work together. Get some friends and/or family and share the tasks, or Lily Mullen can find others for you to work with. There are usually 8-12 priests from the Diocese who attend. The simple meatless meal can be prepared in the hall’s kitchen or at your home, and brought in; then served. You are not expected to entertain or mingle, just set up, have the meal ready at noon, serve it and clean up when they are done usually by 1 pm. Please contact Lily Mullen at stmmaryhands@gmail.com or call the Par-ish office for more information, or to put your name on the schedule. Thank you.

● Registration Forms are now available for the 2019-2020 Children’s Religious Education Program. Copies are in the vestibule and in the Parish website. For our CCD/Religious Education Pro-gram, the classes offered include: Pre-First Com-munion (1st grade); First Communion (2nd grade);

St. Margaret Mary’s would like to thank the individuals and families who are currently giving electronically through WeShare. You may not see these fellow parishioners place an envelope in the basket every week, but their consistent giving does not go unnoticed in our Parish Office. Each month our Parish receives a steady and predictable stream of income from those donors who have made the commitment to give to God first by having a desig-nated contribution automatically transferred to our Parish through WeShare. Most of our parishioners are blessed with consistent and dependable paychecks. Yet, have you ever thought about how you would manage your bills and schedule your payments if you were never sure how much money you were going to have in your bank account? This is a problem many parishes such as ours face, especially during the summer months. While we are most grateful for any gift that any pa-rishioner can give at any time, to help us maintain a more consistent cash flow, consider WeShare. No matter how you give, your gifts are always appreciat-ed! If you have not yet made the switch to online giving, we invite you to consider doing so. We know that you share in this vision and we’re eager about giving our parishioners many ways to contribute. To begin using WeShare, visit the Parish’s website at stmargaretmaryoak.org, and click “Give Online Through WeShare.” Thank you for your support!

as librarians on one Sunday each month after all Mass-es but especially after the 12:30 Mass. This is a perfect way to get to know our library and to serve oth-ers.

The cost to be part of this bulk subscription is $36 for one year- a savings of $11 over a private subscription. The subscription will start with the month of October 2019. You will need to pick up your copy from the parish each month. If you would like to subscribe, please contact Lily Mullen at stmmaryhands@gmail.com or leave message at Parish Office, ext. 201 before July 31, 2019. ● Parish Library Book Review Title: A Shorter Summa by Peter Kreeft Publisher: Ignatius Press, 1993 This little book (162 pages) is at once an over-view of the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas and an introduction to that masterpiece. Philosophy professor and author Peter Kreeft presents what he considers to be the principal philosophical texts from the Summa, highly edited, with some explanatory footnotes. He uses the old literal Dominican transla-tion of the Summa in order to allow the reader to hear and get the feel of the writing of St. Thomas himself. Part of the appeal of the book is Professor Kreeft’s obvious love for St. Thomas and for the Summa. He writes: “It is even easier to understand St. Thomas than to understand some books about St. Thomas, [his] habits of mental clarity rub off best from long and direct contact with his writings. I noticed a re-markable improvement in my mental sharpness and order after doing long and slow readings of St. Thom-as. The Master’s habits rub off on his apprentices, if they have the good sense to stay close to him.” ● Silent Ignatian retreats, based on the Spiritu-al Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, will be offered by the priests of Miles Christi, a religious order devot-ed to the laity's sanctification. Throughout the centu-ries, the spiritual exercises have become known as an excellent means of sanctification, highly praised by popes and saints. There will be spiritual talks, Eucha-ristic adoration, daily Mass and Rosary.

Interview With Robert Cardinal Sarah (continued) 7) One chapter is dedicated to the “crisis of the Church.” When precisely do you place the begin-ning of this crisis and what does it consist in? In par-ticular, how do you relate the “crisis of faith” to the crisis of “moral theology.” Does one precede the other? The crisis of the Church is above all a crisis of the faith. Some want the Church to be a human and horizontal society; they want it to speak the language of the media. They want to make it popular. They urge it not to speak about God, but to throw itself body and soul into social problems: migration, ecolo-gy, dialogue, the culture of encounter, the struggle against poverty, for justice and peace. These are of course important and vital questions before which the Church cannot shut her eyes. But a Church such as this is of interest to no one. The Church is only of interest because she allows us to encounter Jesus. She is only legitimate because she passes on Revelation to us. When the Church becomes overburdened with human structures, it obstructs the light of God shining out in her and through her. We are tempted to think that our action and our ideas will save the Church. It would be better to begin by letting her save herself. I think we are at a turning point in the history of the Church. The Church needs a profound, radical reform that must begin by a reform of the life of her priests. Priests must be possessed by the desire for holiness, for perfection in God and fidelity to the doc-trine of Him who has chosen and sent them. Their whole being and all their activities must be put to the service of sanctity. The Church is holy in herself. Our sins and our worldly concerns prevent her holiness from diffusing itself. It is time to put aside all these burdens and allow the Church finally appear as God made Her. Some believe that the history of the Church is marked by structural reforms. I am sure that it is the saints who change history. The structures follow afterwards, and do nothing other than perpetu-ate the what the saints brought about. We need saints who dare to see all things through the eyes of faith, who dare to be enlightened by the light of God. The crisis of moral theology is the consequence of a voluntary blindness. We have refused to look at life through the light of the Faith. In the conclusion of my book, I speak about a poison from which are all suffering: a virulent athe-ism. It permeates everything, even our ecclesiastical discourse. (From “La Nef Magazine”; translated by Zachary Thomas for “Catholic Herald Magazine”, April 5, 2019. Cardinal Robert Sarah is publishing the third of his book-length interviews with Nicolas Diat: “The Day is Far Spent”.)

From The Apostolic Constitution of Pope Pius XII on the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary In their sermons and speeches on the feast day of the Assumption of the Mother of God, the holy fa-thers and the great doctors of the church were speak-ing of something that the faithful already knew and accepted: all they did was to bring it out into the open, to explain its meaning and substance in other terms. Above all, they made it most clear that this feast com-memorated not merely the fact that the blessed Virgin Mary did not experience bodily decay, but also her triumph over death and her heavenly glory, following the example of her only Son, Jesus Christ. Thus St John Damascene, who is the greatest exponent of this tradition, compares the bodily As-sumption of the revered Mother of God with her other gifts and privileges: "It was right that she who had kept her virginity unimpaired through the process of giving birth should have kept her body without decay through death. It was right that she who had given her Creator, as a child, a place at her breast should be giv-en a place in the dwelling-place of her God. It was right that the bride espoused by the Father should dwell in the heavenly bridal chamber. It was right that she who had gazed on her Son on the cross, her heart pierced at that moment by the sword of sorrow that she had escaped at his birth, should now gaze on him seated with his Father. It was right that the Mother of God should possess what belongs to her Son and to be honoured by every creature as the God’s Mother and handmaid." St Germanus of Constantinople considered that the preservation from decay of the body of the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, and its elevation to heaven as being not only appropriate to her Mother-hood but also to the peculiar sanctity of its virgin state: "It is written, that you appear in beauty, and your virginal body is altogether holy, altogether chaste, altogether the dwelling-place of God; from which it follows that it is not in its nature to decay into dust, but that it is transformed, being human, into a glorious and incorruptible life, the same body, living and glorious, unharmed, sharing in perfect life." Another very ancient author asserts: "Being the most glorious Mother of Christ our saviour and our God, the giver of life and immortality, she is given life by him and shares bodily incorruptibility for all eternity with him who raised her from the grave and drew her up to him in a way that only he can under-stand." All that the holy fathers say refers ultimately to Scripture as a foundation, which gives us the vivid image of the great Mother of God as being closely at-tached to her divine Son and always sharing his lot.
