The Center for Reproductive Rights sued Texas on March 6, 2023, on behalf of Amanda Zurawski. The suit sought clarification on the scope of the “medical emergency” exceptions under Texas’s abortion bans. Amanda Zurawski had pregnancy complications. Her membranes ruptured. Her unborn daughter Willow would not survive. Her doctors delayed care. They claimed the Texas abortion ban would not allow them to act.  Amanda became septic and almost lost her life. She also suffered infertility as a result. 21 women would join Amanda 's suit.  Included in the 21 women were 4 physician 3 were OB-GYNs 2 of which had had pregnancies with fetal anomalies. 

Oral arguments were heard by the Texas Supreme Court on November 28, 2023. The Supreme ruled in Texas’s favor in 2024 on May 31st (Feast of the Visitation).

Zurawski and the others now speak at hearings on abortions against pro-life laws.

History

October 7, 2021 marked the 450th Anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto, the formation of the Holy League and the origins of the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. 

Pope St. Pius V formed the original Holy League in response to the dire situation in which Christian Europe found itself in 1571.

Christianity was greatly divided and diminished at that time, and the enemies of the Church felt this was their time to “deal the last blow” to Christianity.

This was when small bands of Catholic men and remnant armies from various nations came together under the spiritual leadership of the saintly pontiff and the military leadership of Don John of Austria. Pope St. Pius V dubbed them the “Holy League.” 

By prayer (especially, Pope St. Pius V’s call for the world to pray the rosary) and fasting, they implored the help of God’s grace, through the intercession of the Mother of God, and, by the grace of Almighty God, on October 7, 1571, at the Battle of Lepanto, although greatly outnumbered, the Christian fleet won a crushing victory over the Ottoman Turks, saving Christendom and western civilization. 

Pope St. Pius V knew this was not possible, if not for the intercession of Our Lady through the Rosary, and so he proclaimed October 7 to be the Feast of Our Lady of Victory, which was later named, Our Lady of the Rosary.

Cardinal Burke Calls for a Holy League

Cardinal Burke believes “this is exactly what is needed in our times.” His Eminence, enthusiastically, agreed to be the Spiritual Head of the Holy League, as he is hopeful this Holy League movement will spread across the planet. 

As Cardinal Burke states, “At this particular moment in time, the Church finds itself in a similar situation to that of the Church in the late Sixteenth Century. However, instead of a physical enemy on the horizon, the Church and the family (the domestic Church) are threatened daily by materialism, relativism, secularism, impurity, and confusion regarding Church teaching.” 

The battle today “is not against human forces but against the principalities and powers, the rulers of this world of darkness, the evil spirits in the heavens” (Ephesians 6: 10-12). 

To combat the forces of evil in today’s society, the Holy League strives to call men back to the supernatural Divine Life in the state of grace and, united with spiritual strong men, to transforming the culture through prayer and inspired action.

The time is NOW to gather the remnant forces, put on our battle armor (sanctifying grace), pick up our spiritual weapons (Eucharist, Rosary) and stand united and strong against the forces of evil devouring the faith of our loved ones! 

The Holy League Mission

Children of the parish are invited to participate in a beautiful flower procession to place flowers at the foot of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary before the 9:00 AM Mass on May 3rd. A family member is welcome to carry or walk with little ones to help them place their flower!

Flowers will be provided.

Please arrive at 8:30 AM for the 8:45 AM procession.

Good Friday is an obligatory day of fasting and abstinence for Catholics.

Confession - Friday, April 3 | 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM Available time may be limited. Please arrive early.

Fast & Abstinence

For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards.

If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.

A Reflection on Lenten Fasting

Text is from USCCB.org

So vividly is the Church impressed with the remembrance of the great Sacrifice offered today on Calvary, that she refrains from renewing, on her Altars, the immolation of the Divine Victim: she contents herself with the partaking of the sacred mystery by Communion.

The Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger

Moms have sued to have their unborn murdered and celebrated the unborn that they did murder. These babies never experienced any maternal love or any love. They came into existence unwanted and had their lives stolen unwanted.  This Lent your child through the Charity of Prayer would offer the love these littles ones never witnessed. And to grow that charity, prayer will be extended to the mother in hopes of a conversion of heart.  

Sign up today to start praying for an unwanted baby and the conversion of his or her mommy.

Babies will be selected from the site "Shout your Abortion". These babies have no names as no one or very few have ever cared. Some of the mothers used their first name in their abortion celebration statement. Babies may be referenced with the mother's name plus baby, for example "Lisa's baby".  The babies' sex is also not given. The prayer can be as simple as: God bless Miss Lisa and her baby. You can add a Hail Mary or include mother and baby in the family rosary. You could also add God bless all the SYA (shout your abortion) babies as some of the mom's did not give their name. Make sure to name the mom and baby you're given in prayer.  

Parents can explain as much or as little as to why they are praying for 'Miss Lisa and her baby' or no explanation, just tag them on to daily prayers. Parents wanting to teach their child the charity of prayer through this Lenten project can sign their child or children up below. Sadly, there are enough babies needing love for each child to have their own to pray for. It will begin upon signup and end on Good Friday. 

When you sign up, a link will be provided with the baby and mom's story.

As we enter Lent, let us remember Christ’s sacrifice was for the salvation of all. We may not like our enemies, but we are called to love them.  Offer an act of kindness and charity through prayer for the conversion of a politician promoting abortion, euthanasian, child sexualization and mutilation. 

“With God all things are possible. This Lent pray for all our politicians to be strong, courageous and to hold the line. Pray for courage. Pray for clarity. Pray for conviction and pray that they do what it takes to protect women and children from the violence of a culture of death. Pray fervently.”  

David Bereit (adapted) 

Sign up today to offer a spiritual work of mercy to a politician in need.  Event will begin upon signup and end on Good Friday.

Mass of the Lord’s Supper

The Church intends, on this day, to renew, in a most solemn manner, the mystery of the Last Supper: for our Lord himself, on this occasion of the institution of the Blessed Sacrament, said to his Apostles: Do this for a Commemoration of me.

The institution of the Holy Eucharist, both as a Sacrament and Sacrifice is followed by another — the institution of a new Priesthood.

The Mass of Maundy Thursday is one of the most solemn of the year.

What is Tenebrae?

Tenebrae [meaning darkness in Latin] is the name given to the service of Matins and Lauds belonging to the last three days of Holy Week.

It differs from the rest of the year, all is sad and mournful, as though it were a funeral-service. [The] Psalms, Lessons, and Chants [are] expressive of grief.

Each Canonical Hour ends with the Psalm Miserere, and with a commemoration of the Death and Cross of Our Redeemer.

There is placed in the Sanctuary, near the Altar, a large triangular candlestick, holding fifteen candles. At the end of each Psalm or Canticle, one of these fifteen candles is extinguished; but the one, which is placed at the top of the Triangle, is left lighted…Then the Master of Ceremonies takes the lighted candle…hides it behind the Altar.

The Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger

What does this symbolize?

Let us now study the meaning of these ceremonies. The glory of the Son of God was obscured, and, so to say, eclipsed by the ignominies he endured during his Passion.

He, the Light of the world, powerful in word and work, who, but a few days ago, was proclaimed King by the citizens of Jerusalem, is now robbed of all his honors…

…His own Disciples… are scandalized in him and abandon him… This desertion on the part of his Apostles and Disciples is expressed by the candles being extinguished, one after the other…

But Jesus, our Light, though despised and hidden, is not extinguished. This is signified by the Candle, which is momentarily placed on the Altar; it figures our Redeemer suffering and dying on Calvary.

In order to express his burial, the candle is hid behind the Altar; its light disappears… This noise and gloom express the convulsions of nature, when Jesus expired on the Cross; the earth shook, the rocks were split, the dead came forth from their tombs.

But the candle suddenly reappears; its light is as fair as ever; the noise is hushed, and homage is paid to the Conqueror of Death.

The Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger

Reflect on the Psalms, Lessons, and Chants

You are encouraged to pray and meditate on these Scriptures - these are the Offices of Matins and Lauds of the last three days of Holy Week.

Matins

The First Nocturn

Pater, Ave, Credo in secret (silence)

Psalm 68

This Psalm was written by David, when obliged to flee from the persecution of his son Absalom, who sought his death. It refers to Christ, and describes various incidents of his Passion.

Psalm 69

This Psalm was written by David, under the same circumstances as the previous one. He begs God to defend him against the enemies that are seeking to destroy him. This Psalm is prophetic of the lot reserved to the Messias.

Psalm 70

The third Psalm refers to the same period of David’s life; but whilst it describes the dangers to which this holy king was exposed, it also expresses the wonderful confidence he had that God would crown him with victory over all his enemies. In its prophetic signification, this Psalm shows us how the Man-God, even in the lowest depths of his anguish, confided in his Father’s help.

Pater noster in secret

Lessons

The Lessons of the first Nocturn… are taken from the Lamentations of Jeremias, which describe the miserable state of Jerusalem, when, in punishment for her idolatry, her people were led captive into Babylon…

She drew this frightful curse upon herself by the crimes she committed against the Song of God…This is the reason that his Lamentations are chosen for the Lessons of Tenebrae. The mournful chant, to which they are sung, is probably the one used by the Jews themselves.

First Lesson - Lamentations 1:1-5

Second Lesson - Lamentations 1:5-9

Third Lesson - Lamentations 1:10-14

The Second Nocturn

Psalm 71

The fourth Psalm, which celebrates in such glowing terms, the glories of the Son of David, would seem, at first sight, to be inappropriate for this office, which commemorates only his humiliations…The Church has chosen it, because of the glories here prophesied of Jesus is, that He shall deliver the poor from the mighty; and the needy that had no helper. Mankind is this poor one; Satan is the mighty one; Jesus is about to deliver us from his power, by suffering what we have deserved by our sins.

Psalm 72

The fifth Psalm conveys a moral teaching, which, if listened to, would correct many a false judgment of the world. It often happens that men are shaken at seeing the wicked prosperous, and the virtuous afflicted. It was the temptation which overcame the Apostles, when seeing their Divine Master in the hands of his enemies, they lost their faith in him as the Messias. The Psalmist owns that he himself was troubled by the same kind of thought; but God enlightened him to see the truth: it is that if Divine Providence permit iniquity to triumph for a time, the day is sure to come, when he will punish the wicked, and avenge the just that have suffered persecution.

Psalm 73

The sixth Psalm is a reproach made to the enemies of the Divine Worship. The Jews used it, for many ages, against the Gentiles; the Christians now apply it to the Synagogue, which, after having crucified the Son of God, did its utmost to destroy his Church, by putting many of her children to death, and forbidding the Apostles to preach the name of Christ.

Pater noster in secret

Lessons

For the Lessons of the second Nocturn, the Church reads, each of these three days, a passage from St. Augustine’s Enarrations on the Psalms, which are prophetic of our Lord’s Passion.

Fourth Lesson

From the treatise of St. Augustine, Bishop, upon the Psalms 54

Fifth Lesson

From the treatise of St. Augustine, Bishop, upon the Psalms 54

Sixth Lesson

From the treatise of St. Augustine, Bishop, upon the Psalms 54

The Third Nocturn

Psalm 74

The seventh Psalm declares the vengeance of God on those that excite his anger. It shows us what will happen to the Synagogue: after having obliged the Messias to drink the bitter chalice of his Passion, its own turn shall come, and it shall drink the cup of God’s wrath, even to the very dregs thereof.

Psalm 75

The eighth Psalm was written after David had conquered his enemies. He speaks of the peace that was restored to Sion, and of the sudden vengeance of God that overtook the wicked. The enemies of our Savior were sleeping in their sleep; when, suddenly, the earth trembled, and God arose to judge them.

Psalm 76

The ninth Psalm tells us of David’s tribulation when his son Absalom, the type of the Jewish people, raised the standard of revolt against him. The Royal Prophet, who is the figure of Christ, loses not his confidence in the midst of his trials. The recollection of the wonderful works wrought by God in favor of His people, animates his courage, and he feels that this same merciful God will deliver him.

Pater noster in secret

Lessons

The lessons of the third Nocturn are taken from St. Paul. After having reproved the Faithful of Corinth for the abuses which have crept into their assemblies, he relates the institution of the Holy Eucharist.. and after showing us the dispositions, wherewith we should approach the Holy Table, he speaks of the enormity of the crime of an unworthy Communion

Seventh Lesson - 1 Corinthians 11: 17-22

Eighth Lesson - 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26

Ninth Lesson - 1 Corinthians 11:27-34

Lauds

Psalm 50

The first Psalm is the one written by David after his sin, in which he so feelingly and so humbly breathes forth his repentance. The Church invariably makes use of this Psalm, when she sues to God for mercy; and all the canticle of the Royal Prophet, there is not one which is so familiar to the Faithful as this.

Psalm 89

The second Psalm is one of those which is fixed for the Thursday of each week: it is a prayer suitable for the morning. The Psalmist confesses the nothingness of man, and the shortness of his life: he asks God to bless the actions of the day. The Faithful must not forget that the Office of Lauds is the morning service, and its being said overnight, during these three days, is exceptional.

Psalm 35

The following Psalm, like the former, belongs to the Lauds of Thursdays. It speaks of the wicked man rising in the morning with his mind bent upon evil deeds he has resolved on during the night; it implores God’s protection from him, and sings of the life, the true light, and the abundance of good things reserved for the just in heaven.

Canticle of Moses (Exodus 15:1-19)

The sublime Canticle of Moses, which was sung after the passage through the Red Sea, forms part of Thursday’s Lauds during the whole year. It is peculiarly appropriate now, when our Catechumens are about to receive holy Baptism. The Font will be their Red Sea, wherein all their sins will be drowned, as the Egyptians of old. The Israelites, after having offered the sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb, passed safely between the waves: our Catechumens will come to the laver of regeneration full of hope in the Sacrifice of the True Lamb, for his Blood has imparted to the element of Water the power of purifying the soul.

Psalm 146

The last Psalm, which is always said at Lauds, is composed of the last three of the Psaltery. Their theme is the praise of God, and this portion of the canonical office is called, on that account, Lauds.

Canticle of Zachary (Luke 1:68-79)

The Church now intones the sweet Canticle of Zachary, which she repeats every morning. Its joyous accents strangely contrast with the sadness caused in us by the Passion of our Jesus, the Sun of Justice. It was during these very days that, the remission of ins was wrought through the bowels of the mercy of our God; but the Divine Orient rises not upon us from high and in his splendor; he is about to set on Calvary by the cruelest of deaths. Let us weep for ourselves, whilst we weep for Him; but let us look forward to his Resurrection, which is to be ours also.

Pater noster in secret

Psalm Miserere (Psalm 50)

The Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger

Text is from ArchGH.org

In the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, in preparation for the Paschal Triduum, the Chrism Mass is normally celebrated on the Tuesday of Holy Week.

At this Mass, in which the priests of the Archdiocese will also gather to renew their vows and commitment to the priesthood.

As part of the Church’s preparation for Easter, the sacred oils are blessed and consecrated for the celebration of the Sacraments throughout the upcoming year.

These holy oils — the Oil of the Sick, the Oil of Catechumens and the holy Chrism — are used in the Sacraments of the Anointing of the Sick, Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders.

These are subsequently sent to parishes and will be used in the upcoming year for the celebration of these sacraments.

Families need holy husbands and fathers. The world needs courageous men to witness to Jesus Christ.

Through Cor (Latin for “heart”), you will discover your call to holiness, your fatherly vocation, and brothers to support you in this mission.

Everything flows from the heart. Get the heart right, and you get the man right — a man of faith who will courageously live out the mission of God.

Starting at 7 pm with Food & Fellowship.

Men are invited to join us to pray the Holy Rosary and read Men of the Word.

For those seeking membership in the Knights of Columbus Council 17060, please email our Grand Knight, Mike Stimac, at stimac73@yahoo.com.

COR will be the 5th Sunday of any month with 5 Sundays. View the Knights of Columbus Council 17060 events at kofc17060.org/events.
