3rd All-Night-Adoration

March 7th - March 8th

On the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, March 7th, we will have our third All-Night Adoration at St. Margaret Mary. Stations of the Cross will be prayed at 6:00 pm, followed by High Mass and Exposition. We will solemnly expose the Blessed Sacrament until the next morning at 7:00 am. This all-night adoration follows the feast of the “Doctor Angelicus”, St. Thomas Aquinas, and immediately precedes Passion Sunday (March 9th). It is designed to help the faithful prepare even more effectively for the coming celebrations of Holy Week and Easter. A sign-up schedule for Adoration hours will be available two weeks before the feast. (Note that St. Thomas Aquinas, who taught so admirably especially about the mysteries of the Eucharist, is another co-patron of the Institute of Christ the King and that a plenary indulgence is attached to the attendance of the Mass on the 7th of March, under the usual conditions.) For further information contact Fr. Wiener at (510) 482-2053 or father.wiener@institute-christ-king.org.

Sermons for Lent

"My son, when you come to serve God, prepare your soul for temptation." - Ecclus. 2:1—This is an admonition of the Sage: "My son, if you intend to serve God, prepare your soul for temptation," for it is an infallible truth that no one is exempt from temptation when he has truly resolved to serve God. This being the case, Our Lord Himself chose to be subjected to temptation in order to show us how we ought to resist it. Thus the Evangelists tell us: He was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted. I shall draw lessons from this mystery for our particular instruction, in as familiar a manner as I am able. In the first place, I note that although no one can be exempt from temptation, still no one should seek it or go of his own accord to the place where it may be found, for undoubtedly he who loves it will perish in it. That is why the Evangelist says that Our Lord was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted; it was not then by His choice that He went to the place of temptation, but He was led by the obedience He owed to His heavenly Father. I find in Holy Scripture two young princes who furnish us with examples on this subject. One sought temptation and perished in it. The other, without seeking it, encountered it but left the combat victorious.

Juventutem

Traditional Latin Liturgy for

World Youth Day

Where thousands of Catholic youth gather from all over the world, it is important that there also be the opportunity for them to experience the millenary liturgical tradition of their Catholic heritage. The Institute of Christ the King is happy to announce the formation of a Juventutem - USA group of young traditionalist Catholics who will join with many more from other countries coming to Australia for World Youth Day 2008. The Juventutem group has Holy Mass exclusively in the extraordinary, or traditional, form of the Latin Rite. For more information, contact info@juventutemusa.org.
