Message from Fr. Beaugrand: “I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.” In 2004, when the founders of the Institute of the good Shepherd were looking for a name, they wanted to have a name close to what we do and what we should aim: to be a shepherd! In the same manner, our seminary is under the patronage of Saint Vincent of Paul who was a Shepherd for the poor children, a father to the lost sheep. The ministry of the Institute is towards sheep in parishes, schools, youth, retreat centers. 40 priests are working in the fields: 12 in South America (Columbia, Brazil), 18 in France, 6 in Poland, 2 in Italy, 1 missionary in Uganda, 1 in the USA. In the seminary, there are 40 young men studying and praying to be a good shepherd. On June 23rd, 5 young deacons will be ordained priests in Bordeaux. The members live in community life, they pray, work, suffer, support each other. The Institute is young and in the traditional milieu, it lives in a very abstemious manner having full confidence in the Divine Providence. The Institute has a particular place because mostly of the name and the spirituality coming from it. Being new is refreshing and brings a new spirit but it is also challenging. Today, it is the major feast of the Institute: long live to the Institute of the good Shepherd. Let’s pray for the priests and seminarians who are serving or about to serve!

Mensaje del Padre Beaugrand: "Yo soy el buen pastor. El buen Pastor da su vida por sus ovejas. "En 2004, cuando los fundadores del Instituto del Buen Pastor buscaban un nombre, querían tener un nombre cercano a lo que hacemos y a lo que deberíamos aspirar: ser un ¡pastor! De la misma manera, nuestro seminario está bajo el patrocinio de San Vicente de Paúl, que era pastor de los niños pobres, padre de las ovejas perdidas. El ministerio del Instituto es hacia ovejas en parroquias, escuelas, jóvenes, centros de retiros. 40 sacerdotes trabajan en la viña del Señor: 12 en América del Sur (Colombia, Brasil), 18 en Francia, 6 en Polonia, 2 en Italia, 1 misionero en Uganda, 1 en los Estados Unidos. En el seminario, hay 40 jóvenes estudiando y orando para ser un buen pastor. El 23 de junio, 5 jóvenes diáconos serán ordenados sacerdotes en Burdeos, Francia. Los miembros viven en vida comunitaria, oran, trabajan, sufren, se apoyan mutuamente. El Instituto es joven y en el medio tradicional, vive de una manera muy abstinente y tiene plena confianza en la Divina Providencia. El Instituto tiene un lugar particular porque principalmente del nombre y la espiritualidad que proviene de El. Ser algo nuevo es refrescante y trae un nuevo espíritu, pero también es un desafío. Hoy es la gran fiesta del Instituto: viva el Instituto del buen Pastor. ¡Oremos por los sacerdotes y seminaristas que sirven o están a punto de servir!

Message from Fr. Beaugrand: Laetare Sunday! It means hurry up! Next week will be Passiontide and then Palm Sunday and Holy Week! We have passed mid-Lent already and today Church is rejoicing and asks us to rejoice because dead to sin with Our Lord during Lent we will very soon be risen with Him by Easter Holy Communion and Confession. The gospel today is talking about the Multiplication of Bread and fishes symbolizing the Eucharist and the epistle brings us back to baptism. Station today is at the basilica of Holy Cross in Jerusalem in Rome, very close to Saint John Lateran. That Basilica is on the Mount Coelius where Saint Helena, mother of Constantin, was living. She transformed her palace into the basilica because of the Holy Relics of the Passion of Our Lord. On this day, before in that basilica, were blessed roses, queen of flowers, to represent the flowered garden in Heaven. Adam and Eve were living in a beautiful garden and were lead out of it because of their disobedience. Now, at the edge of our resurrection with Our Lord, we can see that hope being restored. Rejoice! That’s also why organ can be heard and flowers be put on the altar. Then, we will intensify our penance to be ready on time!

Links to Detailed Announcements Below Message

Message from Fr. Beaugrand: On the third Sunday of Lent, the stational Mass is said at Saint Laurent outside the walls. In that basilica are the sacred bodies of two deacons: Saint Laurent and Saint Stephen. On their feast days, Church wants us to be like Saint Laurent extinguishing the flames of the flesh and to love our enemies like Saint Stephen uniting chastity and charity. It is said that during the agony of Saint Laurent where he was being burned there were flames from his pyre and another one above him who was enlightening his soul. That image was taken to build the basilica in Rome. We found that analogy in the epistle today: light and fruits described first as negative, then positive as goodness, justice and truth. Goodness and justice regard the will and truth is for intellect because truth should enlighten the soul so that the judgement, which precedes actions, is consistent to the divine good; this is where truth lays. To conform our lives to God doesn’t seem easy but it is easy! The difficulty that we perceive is coming from our resistance. Day after day, we resist to God not entirely but we stay on the border. That edge is sharp, too sharp to risk it. We should surrender to God’s will and then we will not only be free but we rest in Him.

Message from Fr. Beaugrand: This is the second Sunday of Lent and in the mass of the day, it seems we are already in trouble: in fact, in the Collect we are praying God to preserve us inside and outside because we have no strength. We are weak! But still 35 days to go! It is like an athlete: when he starts his run, he is really motivated and strong but then he feels all the pain and difficulties and realizes he wasn’t that ready! Now he can see where he should have worked more! In our spiritual lives, we are motivated like lions the first days of Lent but then we feel the difficulties physically, spiritually and morally! It is not a time to complain but instead to use these weaknesses to get better. The athlete knows now where to focus more and what training he needs. Same thing for us, after a week of training, we should know where to focus and where to go: maybe doing it better, more seriously, or readjusting things for the long race to come, even for some to take it easy if we want to pass the finish line. Every step should be calculated in order to look the finish line, that’s the most important thing: no vanity but sincerity! Doing it better means taking the tools necessary to be there on Easter day!

Message from Fr. Beaugrand:
Ash Wednesday, a day of Fast and Abstinence. Fasting laws are: one full meal (no meat) and 2 collations (snacks) that are less than a full meal combined. You may have seen all over diocesan websites across the Country that bishops clarified the law of fast and abstinence this year because it falls on Saint Valentine’s feast. Well, sadly people requested a dispense from fast and abstinence because they wanted to celebrate Valentine’s day. Of course, we all know that they are not celebrating the great Saint Valentine, priest and martyr of Rome who converted many people before death. Are we following the world? Right after Christmas day, stores were already showing hearts and Valentine’s decoration. The poor martyr is now a business feast. God is love and we celebrate that love every day and especially at Mass where Our Lord freely gave his life for us and renews his Holy Sacrifice on the altar overflowing grace on our souls. This week we start our journey to Easter by fast and abstinence, by pausing our lives to reflect on our way, our path, our sojourn here on earth and our journey to Heaven. 40 days to meditate, pray, fast and give to all. 40 days to do better every day what we are supposed to do. 40 days to accompany our Lord and our God. It is a short time, no time to waste!

CALENDAR OF UPCOMING EVENTS: Fr. Beaugrand will be on retreat this week keeping you in his prayers.

Prayer Requests: Please pray for Mary Mager, she is ill with the flu.

Message from Fr. Beaugrand: Wake up, why are you asleep, O Lord? The introit’s word from the Ps. 43 are asking to God some help as we are striving here on earth. We are calling God as our bodies are heavy here on earth. “For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face. I speak according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also. They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They are the seed of Abraham: so am I. They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more” Saint Paul is also making a call and complained to the Corinthians about the people in the community who are attacking him. It is in this passage he mentioned: “for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities”. Then the Lord answered: “My grace is sufficient to thee… Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.” Church wants us to meditate on us as individual and as a community uniting the 2nd Corinthians to the parable of the Sower in Luke. In what ground does the seed be planted? For sure, Paul’s followers heard him maybe too well as they didn’t want to hear what he was saying claiming they had precedence over him. Last week we heard the last will be the first! It is not a matter of time but a matter of work!

Walk for Life Information: Father Beaugrand will say a sung (High) Mass before the walk begins, at 10 am in the Carmelite Monastery of Cristo Rey(721 Parker Ave. in San Francisco).  It would be wonderful if many could attend this beautiful Mass before the walk to prepare us for this important event. There will also be a High Mass at the National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi, 610 Vallejo St, San Francisco, after the walk at 5:00PM  The Shrine is about 20 minutes from the end of the walk. The celebrant will be Fr. Paul Fazio OFM Conv, and the Deacon and Preacher will be Fr. Francisco Nahoe OFM Conv. Please contact Celine Souza at 929-0115 for more information.   

Message from Fr. Beaugrand “Defend life, promote peace!” Pope Francis told the Colombians this very clear message and we need to take it seriously. We are artisans of peace and promoters of life. Every year, we have this very clear opportunity to promote life in a very demonstrative way and very peaceful way. This year, I have been invited to say Holy Mass before the walk at 10:00am in the Carmelite Monastery in SF. It is such an honor and I thank God for it. It will be a sung mass! I hope we will be united all together as a community: Hollister and Pismo Beach. The way to honor life is to honor the source of life: Our Lord Jesus Christ. What a way to thank God and in the meantime to implore Him to rain graces over the city while we will walk and show example to the world. As you know, I planned to go a long time ago and when I received this invitation I was very excited and honored. I certainly do not deserve it so God has his ways. We will try to be at some point on the plaza to be united together and to walk and pray to end this abomination. It will be the feast of Saint John Chrysostom the golden mouth and I pray the Holy Ghost that He will inspire me to say what God wants. If you can’t make it, you certainly can be united spiritually by prayers and penance. Let’s be united!

Message from Fr. Beaugrand

Devotion of First Fridays of the Month. “I promise you, in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the first Friday for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance; they shall not die in my disgrace nor without receiving the sacraments; my divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in that last moment.” Our Lord to Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque. All of the devotions we have to the Sacred Heart of Jesus are coming from a little village where a little girl was praying instead of playing with other children. Later, she became nun and was visited by Our Lord who showed her his Heart and said: “Look this heart who loved so much men. As a reward, I only receive ingratitude”. Our Lord said that He wants to be loved by men and whoever will have a special devotion to His Divine Heart will be safe revealing the 12 promises attached to this devotion. The conditions are to receive Holy Communion nine Fridays consecutively without interruption; to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to obtain the grace of final penance; to offer each communion in reparation of offenses against the Blessed Sacrament. This is what we do in Hollister every Friday of the month, having Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and then we pray the Act of reparation. We continue the following day with the First Saturday. These 2 great devotions were well attended during my childhood and that bring good memories of popular devotion for Our Lord. 

Prayer Request from Indonesia

Recently I received an email from a man from Indonesia, Kenneth, who is having a difficult time finding a priest to hear confessions and is also trying to appeal his visa application to Singapore where he had a job before he was deported due to complications outside of his control.

Message from Fr. Beaugrand

Saturday, we will celebrate the dedication of the Basilicas of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It is a special feast where we remember the day of their consecration by pope Silvester I. On Nov. 9^th we celebrated the dedication of Saint John Lateran also called Archbasilica of Christ the Savior, Cathedral of Rome and mother of all churches. 9 days apart, what does it mean? Three basilicas in a week uniting Our Lord to the 2 apostles of Rome. Of course, the basilicas you can admire nowadays are not the one admired by Middle-ages pilgrims as they were destroyed by fire. Nevertheless, Church continues to remember the dedication the same days. It is noticeable that every single bishop, usually by country, has to go in Rome for a Quinquennial visit ad limina apostolorum which they require to go and venerate the tombs of the apostles. Bishops usually say mass these 2 basilicas. That has to be done every 5 years. Last time the USCCB went was in 2012.

Our Heart is in Rome. We are romans even if we never went in Rome. It is important for us to know history and to know the city of Rome. It is much easier today thanks to internet. We should be able to have a map of the City and find all major basilicas according to the journey of the apostles. It is our history and our faith. “How terrible is this place! This is no other but the house of God, the house of Heaven.” Gen, 28, 17.

New Year Greetings to the St. Junipero Serra TLM Members,

Tim Brown, who has been leading the Rosary before Latin Mass more recently, sent an attached pdf of the Salve Regina, (Hail Holy Queen), prayer. His intention is to invite everyone to chant the hymn together after the Rosary. You can make a copy of the attached pdf to learn the words, plus Tim will provide copies in the back of Church near the Sunday Missal booklets.

I'm not very familiar with the hymn, so found an online video with words posted in Latin here:

Registration online or via phone (on website) is recommended, or you can register when you arrive. 

If you made a New Year's resolution to be more involved with corporal and/or spiritual works of mercy, or if you want to be more involved on a grass-roots level with helping others in need, a good place to get a jump-start in the pro-life apostolate is coming up! On Jan. 21, the annual West Coast Walk for Life will be held at the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco. Please see www.walkforlifewc.com for the schedule and to see pictures of previous rallies for helpful info.
