Dear Mary Star of the Sea Parishioners:

This week we celebrate the Feast of the Archangels. I typically share this story with you each year in honor of St. Michael. I hope you enjoy it. Here is the remarkable story:

What follows is a copy of a letter written by a young Marine to his mother while recovering from a wound suffered on a Korean battlefield in 1950. The Navy Chaplain Father W. Muldy, who had talked to the boy, his mother, and to the Sergeant in charge of the patrol, vouched for the veracity of the story. Have a Blessed Week. Fr. Harrigan, Pastor

Dear Mom, I wouldn’t dare write this letter to anyone but you, because no one else would believe it. Maybe even you will find it hard, but I have got to tell somebody. First off, I’m in a hospital. Now don’t worry, you hear me? Don’t worry! I was wounded, but I am okay. The doctor says that I will be up and around in a month. But that’s not what I want to tell you. Remember when I joined the Marines last year? When I left, you told me to say a prayer to St. Michael every day. You really didn’t have to tell me that...ever since I can remember, you always told me to pray to St. Michael the Archangel. You even named me after him. Well, I always have! But when I got to Korea I prayed even harder. Remember the prayer that you taught me?..."Michael, Michael of the morning, Fresh corps of Heaven adorning..." You know the rest of it. Well, I said it every day...sometimes when I was marching or sometimes resting. But always before I went to sleep. I even got some of the other fellas to say it. Well, one day I was with an advance detail way up on the front lines. We were scouting for the Commies. I was plodding along in the bitter cold...my breath was like cigar smoke. I thought I knew every guy in the patrol, when alongside of me comes another Marine I never met before. He was bigger than any other Marine I’d ever seen. He must have been 6’4" and built in proportion! It gave me a feeling of security to have such a body nearby. Anyway, there we were, trudging along. The rest of the patrol spread out. Just to start a conversation, I said, "Cold, ain’t it?" And then I laughed! Here I was, with a good chance of getting killed any minute, and I’m talking about the weather! My companion seemed to understand. I heard him laugh softly. I looked at him, "I have never seen you before. I thought I knew every man in the outfit." "I just joined at the last minute," he replied. "The name is Michael." "Is that so?" I said surprised. "That’s MY name, too!" "I know," he said...and then went on..."Michael, Michael, of the morning..."

I was too amazed to say anything for a minute. How did he know my name, and a prayer that YOU had taught me? Then I smiled to myself: Every guy in the outfit knew about me! Hadn’t I taught the prayer to anybody who would listen? Why, now and then, they even referred to me as "St. Michael"! Neither of us spoke for a time, and then he broke the silence. "We are going to have some trouble up ahead." He must have been in fine physical shape; for he was breathing so lightly that I couldn’t see his breath. Mine poured out in great clouds! There was no smile on his face now. Trouble ahead, I thought to myself...well, with the Commies all around us, THAT is no great revelation! Snow began to fall in great thick globs. In a brief moment, the whole countryside was blotted out. And I was marching in a white fog of wet, sticky particles. My companion disappeared. "Michael!" I shouted in sudden alarm. I felt his hand on my arm, his voice rich and strong. "This will stop shortly." His prophecy proved to be correct. In a few minutes, the snow stopped as abruptly as it had begun. The sun was a hard, shining disc. I looked back for the rest of the patrol. There was no one in sight. We lost them in that heavy fall of snow. I looked ahead as we came over a little rise. Mom, my heart just stopped! There were seven of them! Seven Commies in their padded pants and jackets and their funny hats. Only, there wasn’t anything funny about them now. Seven rifles were aimed at us! "Down, Michael!" I screamed, and hit the frozen earth. I heard those rifles fire almost as one. I heard the bullets. There was Michael...still standing! Mom, those guys COULDN’T have missed...not at that range! I expected to see him literally blown to bits! But, there he stood...making no effort to fire himself! He was paralyzed with fear ...It happens sometimes, Mom, even to the bravest. He was like a bird fascinated by a snake! At least, that was what I thought THEN! I jumped up to pull him down, and that was when I got hit. I felt a sudden flame in my chest. I often wondered what it felt like to be hit...now I know! I remember feeling strong arms about me, arms that laid me ever so gently on a pillow of snow. I opened my eyes, for one last look. I was dying! Maybe I was even dead. I remember thinking, "Well, this is not so bad." Maybe I was looking into the sun. Maybe I was in shock. But it seemed I saw Michael standing erect again...only this time his face was shining with a terrible splendor! He seemed to change as I watched him. He grew bigger, his arms stretched out wide. Maybe it was the snow falling again, but there was a brightness around him like the wings of an Angel! In his hand was a sword...a sword that flashed with a million lights! Well...that is the last thing I remember until the rest of the fellas came up and found me. I don’t know how much time had passed. Now and then, I had but a moment’s rest from the pain and fever. I remember telling them of the enemy just ahead. "Where’s Michael?" I asked. I saw them look at one another. "Where’s who?" asked one. "Michael...Michael...that big Marine I was walking with just before the snow squall hit us."

"Kid," said the sergeant, "You weren’t walking with anyone. I had my eyes on you the whole time. You were getting too far out! I was just going to call you in when you disappeared in the snow." He looked at me curiously. "How did you do it, kid?" "How’d I do WHAT?" I asked...half-angry, despite my wound. "This Marine named Michael and I were just..." "Son," said the sergeant kindly, "I picked this outfit myself, and there just ain’t another Michael in it! You are the only Michael in it!" He paused for a minute. "Just how did you do it, kid? We heard shots, but there hasn’t been a shot fired from YOUR rifle...and there isn’t a BIT of lead in them seven bodies over the hill there." I didn’t say anything. What COULD I say? I could only look open-mouthed with amazement. It was then the sergeant spoke again. "Kid," he said gently... "Every one of those seven Commies was killed by a sword stroke!"

That is all I can tell you, Mom. As I say...it may have been the sun in my eyes...it may have been the cold or the pain. But that is what happened! Love, Michael

Annual Life Chain

The Mary Star community will meet at Mary Star Parish Auditorium at 1:30 pm and walk

down to 9th and Gaffey Street to stand together in support of life. LIFE CHAIN is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-

life individuals standing for 90 minutes praying for our nation and for an end to

abortion.

Every Wednesday there is Holy Hour in the church beginning at 6pm.

In order to convert America and save the world, what we need is for

every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy

Hours of Prayer--Saint Mother Teresa Every Wednesday there is a Holy Hour in the church. It begins with exposition of The Blessed Sacrament. Within the hour, the rosary is prayed, followed by a time of silent reflection and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The Holy Hour concludes with Benediction. Please come and spend one hour with Jesus. This is a special time of abundant blessings for all!

Perpetual Adoration It takes a village! You have heard these words before. Having prayer available before the Blessed

Sacrament every hour of every day is a challenge. Circumstances change and hours open up.

“Your sacrifice of keeping Jesus company each week in the middle of the night or late at night or in the middle of the day, will change the many thorns in His heart into many flowers of consolation.” Thank you for your consideration.

Announcements

We extend an invitation to all who would like to join our Lectio Divina group. We meet on the first (1st ) and third (3rd) Tuesdays of the month in the Parish Center Chapel from 9:00- 10:00 am.

Lectio Divina is a prayerful reflection on a Scripture passage. The text for each meeting is the gospel from the previous Sunday.

Understanding community grooming Like the psychological grooming we discussed last week, community grooming is another way a predator inserts himself into the life of his child victim. In community grooming, the predator de-velops a rapport with the community surrounding his victims, appearing to be kind, generous, and caring. This can often lead to increased levels of trust from adults around the victim, and in-creased access to the victim. The predator uses manipulation and lies to build a false image of good, which makes it harder for victims to come forward to express discomfort or report an alle-gation. For more information on community grooming, get a copy of the VIRTUS® article “The Stockholm Syndrome and Victims of Abuse, Part II” athttp://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx. Comprendiendo el acoso sexual comunitario Al igual que el acoso sexual (grooming) psicoló-gico que discutimos la semana pasada, el acoso sexual comunitario es otra forma en que un de-predador se inserta en la vida de su víctima in-fantil. En el acoso sexual comunitario, el depre-dador desarrolla un entendimiento o una relación cercana con la comunidad que rodea a sus vícti-mas, aparentando ser amable, generoso y afec-tuoso. Esto a menudo puede conducir a mayores niveles de confianza por parte de los adultos cer-canos a la víctima, teniendo así, el depredador, mayor acceso a la víctima. El depredador usa la manipulación y la mentira para construir una imagen falsa del bien, lo que dificulta que las víctimas puedan expresar sus molestias o que se presenten a hacer una denuncia. Para más infor-mación sobre el acoso sexual comunitario, obten-ga una copia del artículo de VIRTUS®“The Stoc-kholm Syndrome and Victims of Abuse, Part II” (El Síndrome de Estocolmo y las víctimas de abuso, Par-te II) enhttp://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current- Online-

Religious Formation Classes for Children

We are blessed to be able to welcome the children who have registered for classes in preparation for First Holy Communion but also to continue their formation. If you have not done so please consider doing so now before it is too late. Children who have received their First Communion are invited to continue their formation. No par-ent would send a child into the world with a second-grade academic education; and no parent should send a child out into the world with a second-grade religious education.

RCIA

Unbaptized adults and baptized adults from another Christian tradition who wish to become Catholic are welcome to join with us on Thursday evenings 7:00 – 9:00 pm as we journey through the process of becoming Catholic. Don’t wait; NOW IS THE TIME.
