       On Saturday, November 16th, Bishop Emeritus Fabian Bruskewitz celebrated Mass to commemorate the one year anniversary of death of our Sister Mary Immaculata. We were blessed to have 4 priests concelebrate with the Bishop, and Deacon Tom Deall, from the Archdiocese of Omaha, to assist in the Mass.
        During the Mass, Father Hilary Khanh, CMC, pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Lincoln, shared his personal memories of Sister Immaculata during her final days. He spoke about the day when Sister was told that she had only three days to live after having been diagnosed with cancer in the last stages. She was very happy and peaceful, willing to accept everything that will happen to her, and more than ready to meet her Creator. In His merciful love, God granted her 5 more months to live among her Sisters and share her last moments with them. He also witnessed the emotional moment when the whole community gathered around her to apologize for any wrongdoings she may have done, and vice versa, which showed the strong sisterly bond they had for each other. Father was able to sum up Sister's life in three words: holy, humble, and simple. Her whole heart beat for her Spouse alone, and she lived her life of 66 years, 48 in the religious life, dedicated to Him. May we too strive to live a holy, humble and simple life as she did!!

        After the Mass, lunch was provided by the Sister, benefactors, and Chick-fil-A. We were glad to have so many people come to pray with us for our beloved Sister. We pray that God, Mother Mary and St. Joseph bless them abundantly for their prayers, and if Sister Immaculata is now in the presence of God, she will surely be interceding for us all!
        Many thanks to all who were able to come and pray for our beloved Sister Immaculata!!

         Today, on November 13th, we remember our beloved deceased Sister Mary Immaculata Ly Tran on her first anniversary of death. She passed away peacefully last year in the morning at the CMRM Motherhouse. She is the first of the Sisters to come from Vietnam, and the first in our community, to have passed into God's loving arms. Please keep her in your prayers! We miss her very much, but we are sure that she is interceding for us all!

Remember the Souls in Purgatory!

"I am the Mother of all the Poor Souls, for my prayers serve to mitigate their sufferings every single hour that they remain there (purgatory)."
-Our Blessed Lady to Saint Bridget


Let us remember our brothers and sisters in Christ in this month of November, in the depths of purgatory, longing to see the face of God and be with Him in Heaven. Our prayers will relieve their sufferings and help them reach Heaven more quickly. Although they cannot pray for themselves, they can, and will, pray for us out of gratitude!

"Yet how quickly we could empty Purgatory if we but really wished to." -The Curé of Ars
How can we help the poor souls in purgatory?
1. The Holy Mass- this is the most powerful way to relieve or release a soul from purgatory. The Mass is the sacrifice of Christ Himself; He offers Himself up as the perfect sacrifice to God, and through this sacrifice, "with all the merits of His Death and Passion, He will not refuse us anything"
2. The Holy Rosary and the Stations of the Cross- the most powerful Marian prayer we have and the contemplation of Christ's sufferings brings great relief to the souls in purgatory. Through the Rosary, many souls are delivered from Purgatory each year, and the Mother of God herself comes to Purgatory to deliver the souls. That is why the souls call Our Lady the "Mother of Mercy."
3. Our sacrifices- another powerful means to help the souls, through the offering of our daily pains, struggles, and renunciations for their relief.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen!
