Pastor’s Corner
Dear Mary Star of the Sea Parishioners:
Recently I came across this interesting interview with Cardinal
Luca Signorelli the Rector of the Saint John Paul II institute for
the Studies on Marriage and the Family in Rome. Sister Lucia
wrote to him before her death about the battle for the family in
our times. I hope you find it interesting and helpful.
Have a Blessed week.
Fr. Harrigan
Pastor
Cardinal Signorelli: "What Sister Lucia told me: Final
Confrontation between the Lord and Satan will be over Family
and Marriage."
A Cardinal tells: Sister Lucia wrote me…
On Feburary 16, 2008, Cardinal Carlo Caffara (Archbishop of
Bologna), after a Mass celebrated at the tomb of St. Pio of
Pietrelcina, granted an interview to Tele Radio Padre Pio, which
was subsequently reported in the monthly magazine “Voce di
Padre Pio” March, 2008 . Here are some significant excerpts.
Q. Your Eminence, recently in Corriere della Sera you said that
you had always had a great devotion to Padre Pio. Please tell us
why.
I have had great devotion to him since the beginning of my
priesthood as a result of a rather unique experience. I had been a
priest for some months and a brother-priest came to see me. He
was quite a bit older than me and was going through a serious
crisis of faith. It is difficult to describe what a crisis of faith is for
a priest: a terrible thing! I told him “Brother, I’m too little, and
sense that I can’t carry such a burden. Go to Padre Pio.” So he
went, and while he was talking to Padre he had a great mystical
experience, touched profoundly by the mercy of God. Now he is
one of the best priests I know. There you have it, it all began like
that.
Q. There is a prophecy by Sister Lucia dos Santos, of Fatima,
which concerns “the final battle between the Lord and the
kingdom of Satan”. The battlefield is the family. Life and the
family. We know that you were given charge by John Paul II to
plan and establish the Pontifical Institute for the Studies on
Marriage and the Family.
Yes, I was. At the start of this work entrusted to me by the
Servant of God John Paul II, I wrote to Sister Lucia of Fatima
through her Bishop as I couldn’t do so directly. Unexplainably
however, since I didn’t expect an answer, seeing that I had only
asked for prayers, I received a very long letter with her signature
– now in the Institute’s archives. In it we find written: the final
battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about
marriage and the family. Don’t be afraid, she added, because
anyone who operates for the sanctity of marriage and the family
will always be contended and opposed in every way, because
this is the decisive issue. And then she concluded: however, Our
Lady has already crushed its head.
Talking also to John Paul II, you felt too that this was the crux,
as it touches the very pillar of creation, the truth of the
relationship between man and woman among the generations. If
the founding pillar is touched the entire building collapses and
we see this now, because we are at this point and we know it.
And I’m moved when I read the best biographies of Padre Pio ,
on how this man was so attentive to the sanctity of marriage and
the sanctity of the spouses, even with justifiable rigor on
occasion.
Q. Did you ever meet Padre Pio personally?
No, I didn’t. I never had the courage to go to him, thinking that I
would be wasting his time! […] I retain that Padre Pio belongs to
the series of great mystics who have this characteristic: the most
profound sharing in the Cross of Christ, as they carry upon
themselves the great tragedy of mankind today – atheism. Padre
Pio, St. Gemma Galgani, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross ,
Mother Theresa, the Curé d'Ars all had the experience of sitting
round the table with sinners, living their experiences, of carrying,
in a different way, the weight of the Agony in Gethsemane; they
testified to the love of Christ Who takes upon Himself, the pain
of the man who has left his Father’s house and doesn’t want to
go back, even if he knows in his heart that he is better off in his
Father’s house rather than tending to pigs. Man today continues
to imagine that he can live as if God didn’t exist; and we see the
devastation this has caused.

Today’s Readings
First Reading — Forsake foolishness that you may live;
advance in the way of understanding (Proverbs 9:1-6).
Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord
(Psalm 34).
Second Reading — Live as wise persons trying to understand
what is the will of the Lord, filled with the Spirit and giving
thanks always (Ephesians 5:15-20).
Gospel — Jesus says, “I am the living bread . . . whoever eats
this bread (my flesh) will live forever”
(John 6:51-58).
Keeping Our Commitments
In the musical Fiddler on the Roof, the husband, Tevye, whose
marriage was arranged years and years before, wants to know if
his wife really loves him. Was their marriage just an
arrangement, a deal? Did his wife, after all these years, ever love
him? Does she still?
We need to know if our loving commitments stick. We need to
be reminded and reaffirmed. In the first reading, Joshua, Moses’
successor, needed to know if the people would remain faithful to
their covenant with the Lord. Joshua was going to lead them to a
new life—a settled life. Would they be faithful?
Jesus, who identified himself as the very life of his disciples’
life, needed to know: Will you also go away or will you stay?
We do not often see Jesus this vulnerable. Peter and the apostles
chose to stay. What will we do?

God’s Word Today
Did You Know? / ¿Sabia Usted?
Decisions. Life is filled with them. Decisions are presented in the
first reading and Gospel proclaimed today. The Israelites are asked
to choose whether or not they will continue to serve the Lord, the
God of Israel. In voicing their choice to continue serving the Lord,
they call to mind all the wonderful things that God had done for
them. The disciples in today’s Gospel reading are also faced with a
choice. Many choose to turn away from Jesus because his invitation
to eat his body and drink his blood is too hard a saying. Peter and
the Twelve, when asked if they, too, would abandon Jesus respond,
“Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
We, in a way, repeat these words every time we come to Mass, for
in fact there is nowhere else we can go to be fed by the body and
blood of the Lord and hear words that will bring us eternal life.
Remembering all the wonderful things that God has done for us, we
choose to come to Mass to give thanks and praise to God.
Back to school: carpool safety
Beginning a new school year can mean starting up a new carpool
– trading rides to and from sports and after-school activities with
other parents. Teach your children that they should never get into
a car with someone they don’t know. They should also have a
parent’s permission before they accept a ride with someone
they do know. If you do have to send someone to pick up your
kids, establish a family code word. If the driver gives your
children the code word, they know that it’s safe to get in the car.

Network” email: [email protected]
Sacraments for Adults
Are you a baptized Catholic who has never
received your first communion and/or
confirmation? Are you an adult who was never
baptized as a Catholic? Were you baptized in
another faith, but would like to become a
Catholic? If the answer to any of these questions
is "yes", then RCIA may be perfect for you!
Each of the situations mentioned above is unique and different,
but they do have something in common: they all describe a
personal journey and desire to come closer to Jesus and the
Church. For more information about RCIA (the Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults), please call Sister Mary at 310834-5431 ext. 222.
Families of Nazareth Faith Sharing Group
Please join our Families of Nazareth group as
they search for a deeper relationship with God
by developing your “interior” life and
understanding the Blessed Mother’s role in
your faith journey.
Our group meets in the Msgr. Gallagher
Parish Center Chapel on Saturday
mornings from 9 am - 10 am. They will
begin after the summer break on September 12th to pray and
share faith journeys. Adults only please.
Interested in Becoming a Host Parent?
Gphomestay has partnered with

having a(nother) teenager in the home. It can also extend a $300
referral donation to your organization for each host student from
your church who becomes approved. Families benefit from the
support of a local coordinator who checks-in regularly and is
available by phone any time to help in case she is needed. If

De vuelta a la escuela: como compartir coches con seguridad
El comienzo de un nuevo año escolar puede significar el
establecimiento de un nuevo sistema de compartir coches – el
intercambio de trasportación entre padres a práctica de deportes y
actividades fuera de la escuela. Enseña a sus hijos que nunca
deben entrar en un coche con alguien que ellos no conocen.
También deben de tener permiso antes de aceptar transportación
de alguien conocido. Si usted tiene que enviar a alguien a recoger
a sus hijos, establece una palabra clave para su familia. Si el
conductor dice la palabra clave correcta, los niños saben que es
seguro entrar al coche. Para una copia del artículo completo

STILL one more to go! Thank you so much to
all who have come forward to spend more time
with Jesus in the Adoration Chapel.
“Those who kept company with Jesus in the
Gospel stand out as men and women of great
Faith- they were his chosen friends who really
believed in Him. Those who keep company with
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament are His friends today who will
stand out for all eternity for their Faith in His Real Presence.”
~Fr. Martin Lucia, SS.CC
The hour STILL remaining to be filled is:

time for silent reflection, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy,
concluding with Benediction. Please come and spend 1 hour

Treasures from Tradition
The ministry of permanent deacons has become an essential part
of our parish life today, yet for centuries until 1967, this deeply
traditional ministry had virtually disappeared. Every priest had
first to be ordained a deacon, but the notion that one could
actually embrace a permanent vocation to the diaconate was lost.
The primary ministry of the deacon is to the welfare of the
community, especially its poor, and his role in sacraments and
preaching flows from that. His principal role is to animate and
promote the ministry of all the faithful. Ninety percent of
permanent deacons are married, although the discipline of
celibacy for clerics means that if a deacon is widowed, normally
he cannot remarry, nor can an unmarried deacon marry once
ordained. The deacon does not preside at Mass nor may he
absolve sins. Nor, since anointing of the sick is linked
theologically to penance, may he anoint.
Sometimes we are slow to engage with a tradition: Trent
approved permanent deacons in the 1560s, but nothing was done
until the 1960s. The vitality of the long-delayed restoration has
greatly enriched the Church, particularly in the United States,
where the majority of the deacons in the world serve.
