secret HÆC nos oblatio, Deus, mundet, quæsumus, et regnovet, gubernet, et protegat. Per Dominum nostrum.

May this offering, O God, we beseech Thee, cleanse and renew us, guide and protect us. Through our Lord.

preface of the most holy trinity VERE dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi sem-per, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancta, Pater omnipo-tens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singu-laritate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo den-im de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cheru-bim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce dicentes

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without dif-ference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying

communion Luke 4. 22 MIRABÁNTUR omnes de his, quæ procedébant de ore Dei. All wondered at these things which proceeded from the mouth of God.

postcommunion CŒLESTIBUS, Domine, pasti deliciis: quæsumus: ut semper eadem, per quæ veraciter vivimus, appetamus, Per Dominum nostrum.

We have been fed, O Lord, with heavenly delights, and beseech Thee, that we may ever hunger after those things by which we truly live. Through our Lord.

SPECIAL NOTE ON PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR POOR SOULS

Normally, from Nov. 1st through Nov. 8th, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, may be obtained each day by visiting a cemetery (Coemeterii visitatio) and praying, even if only mentally, for the departed.

This year, the Major Penitentiary has decreed that due to the ongoing pandemic, instead of being limited to November 1st – 8th, the faithful may transfer the possibility of gaining indulgences for the Souls in Purgatory to any particular day during the month of November, for the same total of eight days, but not necessarily contiguous (back-to-back) days. The usual conditions still apply: sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, prayer for the Holy Father, and detachment from all sins.

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST

"The mission of the Institute of Christ the King Sover-eign Priest is to spread the reign of Christ in all spheres of human life by drawing from the millennial treasury of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly her liturgi-cal tradition, the unbroken line of spiritual thought and practice of her saints, and her cultural patrimony in music, art and architecture. The Institute accomplishes this primarily through a solid and well-rounded for-mation of its priests, rooted in Catholic tradition and carried out at its international seminary in the Archdio-cese of Florence. Our priests, conscious of the need for their own sanctification, strive to be instruments of God's grace through their apostolic work discharged in the churches assigned to the Institute, its schools, its missions in Africa, by preaching retreats, teaching cat-echesis, and providing spiritual guidance. The Institute of Christ the King operates under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception, to Whom it is consecrated."

ORDO MISSAE (continued) Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivos et mortuos, cuius regni non erit finis; Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivifi-cantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per prophetas. Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi sæculi. Amen.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: REMINDERS: --Catholics in the Diocese continue to be dispensed/excused from assisting at the Holy Mass on Sundays and other holy days of obligation by Bishop Barber. --We encourage older adults and those who have se-vere underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease to stay home. —The County of Alameda requires that face-covering be worn. —Please remember to sit at least six-feet apart from someone who is not living in the same household. ● Act of Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacra-ment. I love Thee above all things, and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacra-mentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though Thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee (St. Alphonsus Liguori). ● We would like to thank all who have stepped up by continuing to donate to the Parish: those who are continuing to mail in their donations, those who dropped their donations into the donation box/basket in the Church, and those who have donated through WeShare or Paypal. We know that these are anxious times for many financially, so we are deeply grateful to those who remember the Parish. Your donations to St. Margaret Mary cover the Parish’s day-to-day expenses, bills, the salary of both of the priests assigned to the Parish, Fr. Naguit and Canon Norman, the salary of the staff, any ex-penses incurred in the celebration of the Masses (continued page 4)

in both the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms. The Diocese has created an online giving por-tal at https://www.oakdiocese.org/parish-support You can use this portal to donate not only to St. Mar-garet Mary, but also to other parishes in the Diocese. 100% of your donations through the portal go to the parish. Thank you. ● An email phishing scam is going around and is being sent to parishioners and volunteers of the Par-ish. The phishing scam impersonates an email from the Parish’s staff, such as from Fr. Naguit, asking those who receive the email to purchase eBay gift cards. The staff’s correct email address is on the first page of the bulletin. Please do not respond to the email scam. Feel free to report the message as a phishing scam to your email provider. ● Due to ongoing health concerns arising from the present pandemic, the Apostolic Penitentiary has decided that the Plenary Indulgence for those who visit a cemetery and pray for the deceased, even if on-ly mentally, normally established only on the individ-ual days from November 1-8, may be transferred to other days of the same month of November, until its end. These days, freely chosen by the individual be-lievers, may also be separate from each other; The Apostolic Penitentiary has also decided that the Plenary Indulgence of November 2nd, estab-lished on the occasion of the Commemoration of all the deceased faithful for those who piously visit a church or oratory and recite the “Our Father” and the “Creed” there, may be transferred not only to the Sun-day before or after or on the day of the Solemnity of All Saints, but also to another day of the month of No-vember, freely chosen by the individual faithful. Please take advantage of these extensions granted by the Apostolic Penitentiary to pray for the faithful departed. ● Worldwide Marriage Encounter: Register for the upcoming November 20-22, 2020 weekend at oaklandwwme.org or email: [email protected].

Like A Great Symphony: Honoring The Saints “When the Church keeps the memorials of martyrs and other saints during the annual cycle, she proclaims the Paschal mystery in those ‘who have suffered and have been glorified with Christ. She pro-poses them to the faithful as examples who draw all men to the Father through Christ, and through their merits she begs for God’s favors’ (Vatican II, Const. Sacrosanctum Concilium, no. 104).” In the formulas of Masses for saints in the Ro-man Missal, the Church expresses her prayer in words that help us to consider the various colors in this spectrum of life. On each of these days, there is at least a collect proper to the saint that the priest re-cites in the opening rite immediately before the Litur-gy of the Word. This brief prayer condenses the char-acter of the celebration.[12] In a few words it reminds us of the aspect of God’s holiness that shines forth most brightly in the saint we commemorate that day. Often it begins by recalling some facet of the history of salvation, in particular the Mystery of Christ. And it usually urges the Christian people to seek the inter-cession of that saint for some area of their life. The content of the collects is quite rich and varied. Thus, for example, on the memorial of Saint John Fisher and Saint Thomas More (June 22), we ask to confirm with the witness of our life the faith we profess (what Saint Josemaria would call unity of life); or we ask to have apostolic zeal like that of Saint Francis Xavier (December 3); or to live the mystery of Christ especially by contemplating his Passion as did Saint Catherine of Siena (April 29); or to have our heart enkindled with the fire of the Holy Spirit on the day of Saint Philip Neri (May 26). On other occasions we ask for gifts and graces for the Church: the fruitfulness of the apostolate on the me-morial of Saint Charles Luwanga and his martyr com-panions (June 3); to have shepherds to the measure of Christ’s heart, on the feast of Saint Ambrose (December 7); or to trustingly open our hearts to Christ’s grace, as Saint John Paul II asked of us (October 22). On the memorial of Saint Juan Diego (December 9) we contemplate our Lady’s love for her people, and on that of Saint Agatha (February 5) we are reminded of how pleased God is with the virtue of purity. These examples, which could be multiplied many times, show us that the prayers we offer on the feasts of the saints are a very rich resource for our personal prayer on that day. They can help us to ad-dress our Lord spontaneously with specific phrases during our hours of work and rest that day.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: (Continued from page 4)

Statement on the Declarations of Pope Francis Re-garding Civil Unions The worldwide communications media have reported with strong emphasis, as a change of course, the news that Pope Francis has declared that persons in the homosexual condition, as children of God, “have a right to have a family” and that “no one should be thrown out or be made unhappy because of it.” Moreover, they write that he has declared: “What we have to create is a civil union. In this way they will be legally covered. I have defended this.” The declarations were made in an interview with Evgeny Afineevsky, director of a documentary, “Francesco,” premiered on October 21, 2020, on the occasion of the Rome Film Festival (Festa del Film di Roma). Such declarations generate great bewilderment and cause confusion and error among Catholic faith-ful, inasmuch as they are contrary to the teaching of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and of the re-cent Magisterium by which the Church guards, pro-tects and interprets the whole deposit of faith con-tained in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. They cause wonderment and error regarding the Church’s teaching among people of good will, who sincerely wish to know what the Catholic Church teaches. They impose upon pastors of souls the duty of conscience to make fitting and necessary clarifications. First of all, the context and the occasion of such declarations make them devoid of any magisteri-al weight. They are rightly interpreted as simple pri-vate opinions of the person who made them. These declarations do not bind, in any manner, the con-sciences of the faithful who are rather obliged to ad-here with religious submission to what Sacred Scrip-ture and Sacred Tradition, and the ordinary Magisteri-um of the Church teach on the matter in question. In particular, the following are to be noted. 1. “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, Tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered'” (Catechism of the Catho-lic Church, no. 2357; Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona humana, “Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, no. VIII[1]), inasmuch as they are contrary to the natural law, closed to the gift of life and void of a true affec-tive and sexual complementarity. Therefore, they can-not be approved.

epistle I Thessalonians 1. 2-10 FRATRES: Gratias agimus Deo semper pro omnibus vobis, memoriam vestri facientes in orationibus nostris sine intermis-sione, memores operis fidei vestræ, et laboris, et caritatis, et sustinentiæ spei Domini nostri Jesu Christi, ante Deum et Patrem nostrum: scientes, fratres, dilecti a Deo, electionem vestram: quia Evangelium nostrum non fuit ad vos in sermone tantum, sed et in virtute, et in Spirito Sancto, et in plenitudine multa, sicut scitis quales fuerimus in vobis propter vos. Et vos imitatores nostri facti estis, et Domini, excipientes verbum in tribulatione multa, cum gaudio Spiritus Sancti: ita ut facti sitis forma omnibus credentibus in Macedonia, et in Achaja. A vobis enim diffamatus est sermo Domini, non solum in Mace-donia, et in Achaja, sed et in omni loco fides vestra, quæ est ad Deum, profecta est, ita ut non sit nobis necesse quidquam loqui. Ipsi enim de nobis annuntiant qualem introitum habueri-mus ad vos: et quomodo conversi estis ad Deum a simulacris, servire Deo vivo, et vero, et exspectare Filium ejus de cœlis, (quem suscitavit ex mortuis) Jesum, qui eripuit nos ab ira ven-tura.

Brethren: We give thanks to God always for you all, making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing, being mindful of the work of your faith and labour and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father: knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election: for our Gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fullness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. And you became followers of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost: so that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place, your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. For they themselves relate of us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven (Whom He raised up from the dead), Jesus, Who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.

gospel Matthew 13. 31-35 IN illo tempore: Dixit Jesus turbis parabolam hanc: Simile est regnum cœlorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo semi-navit in agro suo: quod minimum quidem est omnibus semini-bus: cum autem creverit, majus est omnibus oleribus, et fit ar-bor, ita ut volucres cœli veniant, et habitent in ramis ejus. Ali-am parabolam locutus est eis: Simile est regnum cœlorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tri-bus, donec fermentatum est totum. Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebantur eis: ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum, eructabo abscondita a constitu-tione mundi.

At that time Jesus spoke to the multitudes this parable: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field: which is the least indeed of all seeds: but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and dwell in the branches thereof. Another parable He spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables He did not speak to them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

offertory Psalm 117. 16, 17

DÉXTERA Dómini fecit virtútem: déxtera Dómini exaltávit me: non móriar, sed vivam, et narrábo ópera Dómini.

The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: I shall not die, but live, and shall declare the works of the Lord.
