Pastor’s Corner
Dear Mary Star of the Sea Parishioners:
We are in the middle of the month dedicated to Our Holy Mother
Mary. She is the Mother of Christ, and our Mother. She is ever
attentive to our needs and concerns as She was to those of Jesus
Himself. We honor Her and ask her prayers throughout this Month
of May with great confidence in her powerful intercession before
the Throne of Almighty God. She is the Beloved Daughter of the
Eternal Father, Beloved Mother of the Son, and Beloved Spouse of
the Holy Spirit. Below is a recent interview with Cardinal Amato
on the great gift of Fatima to our World. I hope you enjoy it.
Have a Blessed Week.
Fr. Harrigan
Pastor
"There is no fourth secret and there are no other hidden secrets,"
says Cardinal Amato
The “secrets” of Our Lady of Fatima tell of today’s Christian
persecution, in addition to the martyrdom of the past century,
Cardinal Angelo Amato has said.
The prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes made the
comment as he opened a conference on “The Message of Fatima
between Charism and Prophecy”. The text of his talk was
published on the website of the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore
Romano.
Cardinal Amato said he had “the privilege” of reading the original
manuscripts of the secrets of Fatima when he served as secretary of
the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith from 2002 to 2008.
“I meditated on them at length because they cast a light of faith
and hope on the very sad events of the past century, but not only,”
he said.
Despite popular hopes that the 20th century would be a time of
reason and brotherhood, “it was in fact a tragic period for
Christianity”, he said.
Besides the two world wars, he said, “most tragic” incidents of
Christian persecution occurred, including “the Armenian genocide,
the Mexican repression, the Spanish persecution, the Nazi
massacres, the Communist extermination and, in this first part of
the third millennium, Islamist persecution.”
“There are millions of victims of evil ideologies, which generated
conflicts and continue to generate conflicts, hatred and division,”
he added.
“As Pope Francis often repeats, the Church today is a Church of
martyrs, of those Christians who, defenseless, are killed daily out
of hatred for their unshakeable faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ,” he
continued.
“The message of Fatima, in a visionary way, evokes this tragedy,
lifting the veil on concrete historical events,” where the Devil
“opposes God’s benevolence” and “continues to tempt” the
Church, just as he tempted Jesus, “instilling in men’s hearts
feelings of enmity and death”, he said.
Cardinal Amato described the Fatima message, with its concrete
allusions to war, division and tragedies, as “without a doubt the
most prophetic of modern apparitions”.
But he dismissed claims that there is more to the secrets of Fatima
2
than what has been made public. Canadian Fr Nicholas Gruner,
who died on April 29 of a sudden heart attack, founded the The
Fatima Crusader magazine and was among the strongest voices
claiming that there was more to the message of Fatima than had
been revealed.
“There is no fourth secret and there are no other hidden secrets,”
said Cardinal Amato.
Mary appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, in
1917, and confided in them three secrets. Years later, Carmelite
Sister Lucia dos Santos, one of the visionaries, wrote them down.
The first two secrets included a vision of hell, along with
prophecies concerning the outbreak of World War II, the rise of
Communism and the ultimate triumph of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary, especially in Russia if the country was consecrated to her
Immaculate Heart. They were made public in the 1930s.
Sister Lucia wrote down the third secret, and gave it to her local
bishop in a sealed envelope. It was sent to the Vatican in 1957,
where successive popes read it but decided not to reveal its
contents. It was finally made public in 2000. It told of a “bishop in
white” who falls dead after being shot by soldiers on a hill. Behind
him are many martyred priests, bishops and faithful.
Cardinal Amato said the interpretation of the third secret was
entrusted to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Then
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was prefect at the time, suggested
in his interpretation that it referred to the 1981 assassination
attempt on St John Paul II and he “affirmed that Fatima helps us
‘to understand the signs of the times and to find the correct
responses for them in the faith,'” said Cardinal Amato.
“The maternal hand that diverted the bullet without killing the
pope indicates that an immutable destiny does not exist and that
the power of faith and prayer can influence history: prayer is more
powerful than bullets,” explained Cardinal Amato.
Cardinal Amato said Fatima also reveals the opposition between
Mary and the Devil.
“There is the need to recognise the presence and action of evil on
people and populations in history,” he said. “Humanity is
constantly seduced by the opponent of good, which is always ready
to make [humanity] fall into the abyss of perdition.”
“But the Son of God came precisely to destroy the works of evil,”
he continued. “And in this fight, Mary, fully involved in the saving
work of Christ, cooperates effectively with her divine Son against
Satan.”
Mary “accompanies the Church and humanity” through history and
arouses in the hearts of the faithful “forces for good” that win
against the “assaults of men and perverse ideologies”.
“In this resides the charisma of Fatima,” he said, which he
described as “a gift of the Trinity” that allows people and the
Church “to become increasingly aware of the struggle of good
versus evil and of the inevitable victory of grace over sin”.
“The vision of Fatima lifts the veil on the hell that exists on earth,
but it also offers the consoling prophecy of our heavenly home,”
he concluded.

Today’s Readings
First Reading — This Jesus who has been taken up from you
into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him
going into heaven (Acts 1:1-11).
Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of
trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47).
Second Reading — God seated Jesus at his right hand in the
heavens (Ephesians 1:17-23) or Ephesians 4:1-13 [1-7, 11-13].
Gospel — The Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and took
his seat at the right hand of God (Mark 16:15-20).
Treasures from Tradition
Surprisingly, the church moved very slowly in claiming
marriage as a focus of attention and care. Nearly everywhere in
the Roman world, citizens agreed on how to celebrate marriage.
Consent of the man and woman is what made a marriage valid
in the eyes of the law, and although there was a traditional
ceremony, it was home based and optional. The ceremony was
for showing the social status of the families involved (the
procession ideally detoured through crowds), and for reminding
the woman of her legal transfer from her father’s control to her
husband’s. The “big moment” of the ceremony had nothing to
do with vows, but with the bride’s donning the yellow veil with
red highlights that was the daily wear of married women. A
wedding feast included soothsayers and animal sacrifice to the
new household’s gods. Christians found that distasteful, of
course, but since marriage was a family matter, they could edit
things out. The church was comfortable with this, and
sometimes recommended that the couple seek the advice of the
bishop. His permission was only required for the marriage of a
cleric, or for a marriage Rome didn’t recognize, such as between
a free woman and a slave. There was no blessing, no liturgy, no
priest. Christians followed the customs of the day, but they
knew that custom and relationships were transformed from
within themselves by the fact of their baptism. Outwardly,
Christians married exactly as their pagan neighbors, but they
certainly invested the usual gestures with a dynamic sense of
Christ’s presence.

Proclaim the Gospel
Today we celebrate one of the tenets of our creed: that the
Lord ascended into heaven. From Mark’s Gospel we hear the
final words Jesus spoke to his disciples shortly before he
ascended into heaven. Those were words of commissioning,
no less real for us today than they were to the disciples then.
We are called to “proclaim the gospel to every creature.” For
the vast majority of us, this means that we proclaim the
gospel by the witness of our everyday lives. Treating others
with dignity and respect, providing for those less fortunate
than ourselves, being good stewards of the many gifts
showered on us, coming together as God’s family in worship
and praise—these are all signs that the gospel has taken root
in our lives.
