Educating In The New Technologies Upon reaching adolescence, children forcefully claim spheres of freedom that often they are not yet ready to handle properly. This doesn’t mean depriving them of their rightful autonomy. Rather the parents’ task is a much more difficult one: to teach children to manage their freedom responsibly. Only then will they be able to achieve the breadth of vision that allows them to aspire to higher goals. As Benedict XVI stressed, “educating means providing people with true wisdom, which includes faith, in order to enter into relationship with the world; it means equipping them with sufficient guidelines in the order of thought, affections and judgments.”[10] Adolescents need to open themselves freely to for-mation. While certain rules will always be required for family life, parents have here a fundamental resource: dialogue. It is important to explain the “whys” of cer-tain ways of behaving, perhaps perceived by young people as over-rigidity, as well as the underlying rea-sons for certain ways of doing things that might be seen as limits, but which in reality are not petty prohi-bitions but strong affirmations for forging an authentic personality, by enabling young people to go against the current. It is more effective to show how attractive vir-tue is right from the start, appealing to the magnani-mous ideals that fill young people’s hearts, the great loves that move them: loyalty to their friends, respect for others, the need to live temperance and modesty etc. The parents’ work here is easier when they know their children’s interests. This does not require “spying” on them, but rather generating enough confi-dence for them to feel comfortable talking about what attracts them, to know what interests them and, where appropriate, spending time with them and sharing in their interests. Some young people have blogs or use the social networks, but their parents are unaware of this and have never looked at what they write there, so that children may think their parents don’t care or don’t like what they are doing.

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 [email protected]
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)

Love Is Triune A kiss is a sign of love; but it is a giving of one's breath, or spirit, which is inseparable from life itself. The purpose of all love is to take the beloved into oneself to possess it, to become identified with it. A mother pressing a child to her breast is seeking to make that child one with her in love. "I bear you in my heart" is a romantic expression of the same crav-ing for unity through love--for love, as we shall see, by its nature is unitive. But despite this desire to be one with the be-loved, there must still be distinctness. If the other per-son were destroyed, there would be no love. Unity must not mean absorption or annihilation or destruc-tion, but the fullness of one in the other. To be one without ceasing to be distinct, that is the paradox of love! This ideal we cannot achieve in this life be-cause we have bodies as well as souls. What is mate-rial cannot interpenetrate! After a union in the flesh, one is thrown back on one's own individual self. In Holy Communion there is the closest approximation there can be on earth to this, but even that is a reflec-tion of a higher love. We can never completely give ourselves to others, nor can others entirely become our own. All earthly love suffers from this inability of two lovers to be one, and yet distinct. Love's greatest sufferings come from the exteriority and separateness of the beloved! But in God, the love uniting Father and Son is a living flame, or the Eternal Kiss of the Father, and the Son. In human love, there is nothing deep enough to make the love for one another personal, but in God, the Spirit of Love uniting both is so personal that it is called the Holy Spirit. It is a fact of nature that every being loves its own perfection. The perfec-tion of the eye is color, and it loves the beauty of the setting sun. The perfection of the ear is sound, and it loves the harmony of an overture by Beethoven or a sonata by Chopin. Love has two terms: he who loves and he who is loved. In love the two are reciprocal: I love and I am loved. Between me and the one I love there is a bond. It is not my love; it is not his love; it is our love: the mysterious resultant of two affections, a bond which enchains, and an embrace wherein two hearts leap with but a single joy. The Father loves the Son, the Image of His Perfection; and the Son loves the Father, Who generated Him. Love is not only in the Father. Love is not only in the Son. The Father loves the Son, Whom He engenders. The Son loves the Father, Who engendered Him. They contemplate each other; love each other; unite in a love so power-ful, so strong, and so perfect that it forms between them a living bond. (From Three To Get Married by Fulton Sheen)

Patience Patience is the virtue which makes us accept for love of God, generously and peacefully, every-thing that is displeasing to our nature, without allow-ing ourselves to be depressed by the sadness which easily comes over us when we meet with disagreeable things. Patience is a special aspect of the virtue of for-titude which prevents our deviating from the right road when we encounter obstacles. It is an illusion to believe in a life without difficulties. These are usually all the greater and the more frequent as our undertak-ings are more generous. Great works, magnanimous and heroic virtues, always grow in the midst of diffi-culties. In the presence of these, fortitude has a dou-ble function: to face them and to bear them. Many difficulties are surmounted and overcome by an act of courage; others, on the contrary, cannot be mastered. We must learn to bear with them, and this is the role of patience—an arduous task, because it is easier to face obstacles directly, than to support the inevitable oppositions and sufferings of life, which, in time, tend to discourage and sadden us. Only by fixing our glace on Jesus, the divinely patient One, can we learn to practice patience. When we see Him who came into the world to save us, liv-ing from the first moment of his earthly existence in want, privation, and poverty, and later in the midst of misunderstanding and persecution; when we see Him become the object of the hatred of His own fellow cit-izens, calumniated, doomed to death, betrayed by a friend, and tried and condemned as a malefactor, our souls are stirred: we realize that we cannot be His dis-ciples unless we follow the same road. If Jesus, the Innocent One par excellence, bore so much for love of us, can we, sinners who are deserving to suffer, not endure something for love of Him? Whatever the total of suffering in our lives, it will always be very small, and even nothing, compared with the infinite sufferings of Jesus; for in His Passion Christ not only endured the suffering of one life or of several human lives, but that of all mankind. Whoever wishes to become patient, must, first of all, look at the motives for suffering in the pro-found light of faith. This superior illumination will make the soul understand that everything that happens in life always permitted by God, and is solely for its good. It is true that very often suffering and hardships come to us through secondary causes; but that makes little difference when we realize that everything comes form our loving Father in Heaven, who uses these painful circumstances to help us to become more virtuous.

SACRED TRIDUUM SCHEDULE IN EXTRAORDINARY FORM (PRE-1955)
With permission of the Holy See, the Institute is pleased to present the traditional Liturgy of the Holy Week as used before the reform of Annibale Bugnini (1955). It is a great experience for all those who want to know the source of our Tradition.
PALM SUNDAY (12:30 PM) The Blessing of the Palms parallels the Mass. It is the same structure. The readings (Epistle, Gospel), the offertory and the blessing itself preceding the distribution. The Cross, held by a subdeacon, is covered in violet and leads the procession. At the door a dialogue with a cantor (inside) is initiated before knocking at the door. Let enter the King of Glory. The Mass is celebrated as usual except for the singing of the Passion by three deacons before the proclamation of the Holy Gospel.
HOLY THURSDAY (6:00 PM): Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Mass is celebrated in white. After the Gloria bells are not rung anymore but the wooden noisemaker as a sign of mourning. Because of the kiss of Judas, the kiss of peace is not given at this Mass. The cele-brant consecrates two hosts on this day. The second one is kept for the celebration of Good Friday. We have there a representation of the Last Supper and the Passion. The procession to the highly decorated Altar of Repose leaves the Sanctuary as the Pange Lingua is sung.
GOOD FRIDAY (5:00 PM): Celebration of the death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. No Mass is celebrated that day. The ceremony proper of Good Friday is called the Rite of the Presanctified since the Host has been consecrated the day before and kept in the Holy Reserve. The vestments are black. The Altar has no cloth, no candles, and the cross is covered in violet. Silently the ministers enter and lay down in front of the altar that is prepared for the prayers (One cloth only, image of the shroud of the burial) - Prophecies, Epistle and Passion are read or sung. They are followed by the great Intercession or solemn prayers. Then comes the Adoration of the Cross. In three steps the Cross is unveiled: “Ecce Lignum Crucis”. Having removed their shoes, with three genuflections and a kiss, the clergy who are present adore the Cross. The Rite of the Presanctified starts. The celebrant in his chasuble receives the con-secrated Host. All else is same as at Mass but the Consecration is already done the day before. Communion is not distributed this day. The mourning of the disappearance of our Lord is very well marked. The minister of the Mass retire. The altars are stripped.
The clergy , in violet stoles, strip the altar of all its furnishings. “Diviserunt”: “They parted my garments”.
HOLY SATURDAY (4:00 PM): This is the greatest of all the liturgies of the year. It starts in violet since it ends the period of pen-ance, but ends in white, the color of Easter. The church itself is in complete darkness. In the sanctuary, on the Gospel side, the Pas-chal candle stands on top of a large column, which represents the column of fire that led the children of Israel out of Egypt. The priest blesses the fire, saying three prayers, as well as five grains of incense, with one prayer. The deacon picks up a pole “arundo” with three candles on top, arranged in a triangle. These three candles represent the women who first came to the tomb of Christ; in Italian popular tradition, the reed was often called “the three Marys.” All enter the church in procession, the deacon, carrying the reed. At the first halt one of the three candles on the reed is lit. “Lumen Christi”; all genuflect, and answer “Deo gratias”. Three halts, three Lumen Christi’s. The book is placed on the lectern and incensed as usual, and the deacon begins to sing the Exsultet. About half-way through, the deacon stops singing, takes the five grains of incense, and inserts them in the holes in the candle, in the form of a Cross; these represent the five wounds of Christ. There now begins the reading of twelve prophecies from the Old Testa-ment. When the prophecies are done, the baptismal font is blessed. The celebrant divides the water in the form of Cross, he sprin-kles some of it towards each of the four cardinal points and breathes upon the waters. The Paschal candle, is immersed in the water three times, slightly deeper each time, while the priest sings, “Let the power of the Holy Ghost descend into this plenitude of the font”. The priest then breathes again over the water, in the form of the Greek letter Psi, Ψ, (for "psyche" - Spirit) and sprinkles the people with the water. A bit of Oil of the Catechumens and then Holy Chrism are poured into the font, followed by both together. These are done all in the form of a cross. The water thus infused with oil is spread though the whole font. If there are persons to be baptized, this is now done as in the Ritual. After the baptisms, all return to the church, singing the Litany of the Saints. Promises of baptism are not renewed. Mass begins. During the Gloria, the bells are rung, the images of the Saints and paintings, which have now been veiled for almost two weeks, are uncovered.
