An update from our Parochial Administrator (March 23, 2020).

Dear Friends in Christ,

Greetings in the Lord. Please know of my many prayers for you daily in these challenging times. I am grateful that we can at least connect visually through social media. I have been celebrating, taping, and uploading mass every day since the first day we were no longer permitted to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass publicly. I have been following the regular language schedule of the parish and remembering the scheduled intentions of each mass. Yesterday, I also shared a video of Evening Prayer with adoration and a bilingual reflection.

Your words of gratitude for all this have been communicated to me - and those words are deeply appreciated. These are remarkable times. There is no diocese in the United States, and in many other countries, including the State of Vatican City, where mass may be celebrated with the faithful present. It is hard on you. It is hard on your priests. But it is the right, just, and charitable thing to do.

“Oh, but Father, where is your faith?” It is where it belongs, praise God - united with the heart of the Church. We are not fideistists. Our faith is not devoid of reason. Pope St. John Paul II taught: “Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself.” It is important for people of faith, including leaders in the Church - those entrusted with the care of souls - to listen prudently to the voices of science and to respond wisely to the instructions of secular leadership in a time of crisis.

So, I will continue, in a spirit of obedience, prudence, faithfulness, and joy, to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the private chapel of the rectory. It is not permitted for the faithful to be present physically - to be a congregation, to sing songs or to proclaim the readings. In parishes where there are several priests, religious brothers, and seminarians present, they can assist. But not the public. So I am doing it all myself - and in Spanish that is not an easy task for me. Should we still be under these restrictions come Holy Week, I will see if there are any seminarians and/or male religious who might be able to assist me, as those liturgies would be very challenging to celebrate otherwise. But if not, I will do what I am called to do - and we will be together in the Eucharist.

Do not allow disobedient voices to confuse you. Listen to the attached video of a press conference given by medical personnel in Illinois. It is direct and bold - but it gets the point across clearly.

I will continue to carry you in my heart and lift you up to Jesus Christ, our Eucharistic Lord. Praised be Jesus Christ.

Mary, Salus Poluli Romani - Pray for us.

In Christ,

Fr. Michael.

Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady, Salus Populi Romani

Most Holy Trinity, Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the fairest of your daughters; Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as your spouse; God the Son, who chose Mary as your Mother; in union with Mary, we adore your majesty and acknowledge your supreme, eternal dominion and authority.

Most Holy Trinity, we put Resurrection Catholic Church into the hands of Mary Immaculate, Salus Populi Romani, in order that she may present this community to you. Through her we wish to thank you for the great blessings you have bestowed upon us throughout our years as a parish community.

Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on us all and shower wisdom upon us. Bless our Holy Father, Francis, the Vicar of Christ on earth, and our Bishop Gregory, and all who assist them in their responsibilities of governance. Bestow strength to our parish staff and ministry leaders. Grant protection to those here desiring to live as missionary disciples of Jesus Christ who courageously live the Gospel. Call forth from among us the precious gift of vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to the religious life. Through the intercession of our mother, have mercy on the sick, the poor, the refugee, the tempted, sinners--on all who are in need.

Mary, Immaculate Virgin, our mother, patroness of our land, Salus Populi Romani, we praise you and honor you, and we consecrate our parish and ourselves to your immaculate heart.

O Sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary, pierced by the sword of sorrow prophesied by Simeon, save us from degeneration, presumption, and despair. Protect us from all harm. O sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary, you who bore the sufferings of your son in the depths of your heart, be our advocate. Pray for us, the community of Resurrection Catholic Church, that acting always according to the will of your Divine Son, we may live and die pleasing to God.

Amen.

Oración de Consagración a Nuestra Señora, Salus Populi Romani

Santísima Trinidad, Nuestro Padre Celestial, que eligió a María como la más bella de tus hijas; Espíritu Santo, quien eligió a María como tu esposa; Dios el Hijo, quien eligió a María como tu Madre; en unión con María, adoramos su majestad y reconocemos su supremo y eterno dominio y autoridad.

Santísima Trinidad, ponemos la Iglesia Católica de Resurrección en manos de María Inmaculada, Salus Populi Romani, para que ella pueda presentarte a esta comunidad. A través de ella deseamos agradecerle por las grandes bendiciones que nos ha otorgado a lo largo de nuestros años como comunidad parroquial.

Por intercesión de María, ten piedad de todos nosotros y derrama sabiduría sobre nosotros. Bendice a nuestro Santo Padre, Francisco, el Vicario de Cristo en la tierra, y a nuestro Obispo Gregorio y a todos los que los ayudan en sus responsabilidades de gobierno. Otorgue fuerza a nuestro personal parroquial y líderes del ministerio. Otorgue protección a aquellos que desean vivir como discípulos misioneros de Jesucristo que con valentía viven el Evangelio. Invoca de entre nosotros el precioso don de vocaciones al sacerdocio ministerial y a la vida religiosa. Por intercesión de nuestra Madre, ten piedad de los enfermos, los pobres, los refugiados, los que sufren tentaciones, los pecadores y de todos los necesitados.

María, Virgen Inmaculada, nuestra Madre, patrona de nuestra tierra, Salus Populi Romani, te alabamos y honramos, y consagramos a nuestra parroquia y a nosotros mismos a tu corazón inmaculado.

Oh doloroso e inmaculado corazón de María, atravesado por la espada del dolor profetizado por Simeón, sálvanos de la degeneración, la presunción y la desesperación. Protégenos de todo daño. Oh, triste e inmaculado corazón de María, tú que soportaste los sufrimientos de tu hijo en lo más profundo de tu corazón, sé nuestro abogada. Ora por nosotros, la comunidad de la Iglesia Católica Resurrección, para que actuando siempre de acuerdo con la voluntad de su Divino Hijo, podamos vivir y morir siendo agradables a Dios.

Amén.

Resurrection will be open for private prayer 11:00 am - 7:00 pm

Información actualizada del Administrador Parroquial-18 de marzo de 2020-

Queridos amigos en Cristo:

Hoy, el Obispo Parkes suspendió la celebración pública de misas en la Diócesis de San Petersburgo, con vigencia inmediata y permanente hasta que se determine que es seguro regresar a los horarios normales y al culto público.

Además, todas las confirmaciones, servicios penitenciales públicos, reuniones de ministerios y eventos sociales parroquiales se posponen hasta nuevo aviso. Por lo tanto, ningún ministerio parroquial se reunirá durante este tiempo. Los líderes de tales ministerios son libres de organizar reuniones "virtuales", si así lo desean.

Se celebrarán bodas y funerales, pero deben limitarse a los miembros de la familia inmediata, de acuerdo con la orientación sobre las reuniones públicas. Los bautismos se celebrarán solo en caso de emergencia.

La iglesia estará abierta para la oración privada todos los días, de 11 a.m. a 7 p.m. Celebraré misa todos los díasen la capilla privada de la rectoría, utilizando el formulario "Sine Populo". Se recordarán todas las de la misa. También continuaré rezando la novena a Nuestra Señora, Salud del pueblo romano, y los invito a todos a rezarla también.

Sigamos manteniéndonos en oración. Somos un pueblo de comunión. En estos tiempos extraordinarios, unámonos con toda la Iglesia, especialmente con aquellos que regularmente y en tiempos ordinarios, experimentan la incapacidad de acceder a los sacramentos.

Continúe monitoreando la página web de la Diócesis de San Petersburgo para obtener permanentes actualizaciones y las que estarán por venir.

Nuestra Señora, Salud del Pueblo Romano - Ruega por nosotros. ¡Alabado sea Jesucristo!

En Cristo,

Rev. Msgr. Michael G. Carruthers Administrador Parroquial

Resurrección permanecerá abierta para oración privada 11:00 am - 7:00 pm
