Lady Dies Fixing Flowers
for the Lady Of Fatima
IS. HERMAN BOEHMER, LOYAL DAUGHTER,
[RICHEN JAN. 26 IN OUR LADY S CHAPEL,
lED RECITING THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS
Daingerfield — Requiem Mass,
first luneral Mass to be cele-
nted in Our Lady of Fatima
lurch (completed June 16,
51) was offered here Tues.,
In. 29 for the repose of the
ill of Mrs. Herman Boehmer, a
kthful parishioners of the Our
Idy of Fatima Mission ever
Jice the first Mass at Hughes
(rings, Dec. 5. 1948.
Mrs. Boehmer. born Mary Ho-
In at Dunbar, Pa., 60 years a-
I, died of a heart attack Sat.,
In. 26th at 4:45 p. m. whilst
leparlng flowers for the altar
fr the 8 a. m. Mass the next
rning. She and Mrs. Madelyn
toodruff. the two ladies in
Jai'ge of the altar for that 2
pek period, went to the church
4 o'clock only to find that It
|td already been thoroughly
eaned toy Mr. and Mrs. George
(orton.
DUSTED BVM'S STATUE
['Some dust had settled on the
Itar. So the ladies dusted it and
Je statues. Mary Boehmer dust-
the beautiful Irish-Imported
latue of Out Lady of Fatima
pd made this comment: "Oh.
lessed Mother, do you know
t>w much we need you?"
[Mrs. Boehmer then added that
he knew Our Lady knew how
|uch we need her and that if all
pesn't seem to be well, it is
^cause her requests have been
snored.
|ACT OF CONTRITION SAID
lAftr the dusting Mary asked
j^rs. Woodruff to cover the con-
t liners for the fresh flowers
1 liiie ahe brought water for
t|em. She placed the jar of w&-
t r on the porch, then walked
li to the church and sat down
ofc the back pew by the door,
B lying she felt 111. Mrs. Wood-
r iff, looking up, noticed her face
v as pale. She persuaded Mary
t lie down and used her coat
a i a pillow for her head. Realiz-
ing at once the seriousness of
Mary's condition, Mrs. Woodruff,
an instructed Catholic, bent over
close to her and said the Act of
Contrition. Mary gave no sign
of healing. Mrs. Woodruff re-
pecked the beautiful prayer said
by ail Catholics when they go to
Confession: "O My God, I am
heartily sorry for having offend-
ed Thee. Who are all good and
worthy of all my love. I firmly
resolve with t L e help of Thy
grace to sin no more and to a-
void the near occasions of sin."
ASPIRATIONS SAID
Mrs. Woodruff then said over
and over the aspirations, "My
Jesus Mercy," and "O, Mary, con-
ceived without sin pray for us
who have recourse to thee." Look-
ing In the direction of the statue
of Our Lady, Mpdelyn Woodruff
prayed for guidance from the
Blessed Virgin. As though an
answer to her plea she thought
of the scapular she was wear-
ing. She removed it & placed it
over Mary's shoulders. Immedi-
ately her breathing became eas-
ier and shortly the color return-
ed to her face. Mary then came
to and spoke, saying, "I want
to go home."
iMadelyn Woodruff, a registered
nurse, told her she was too ill
to be moved and to lie very
quietly.
PLACES SCAPULAR ON HER
"I have placed my scapular on
you, and Our Blessed Mother
will take care of you." Madelyn
said. Mary replied: ''Yes."
Mrs. Woodruff asked if Mary
could hear her. She said: "yes."
Then Mrs. Boehmer said after
Madelyn the words of the Act of
Contrition «nd the prayer, "My
Jesus Mercy." Her color was be-
coming better and her pulse
stronger.
'Mrs. Woodruff then formed a
plan to get a priest and a doctor.
'She told Mary she wanted to fix
the flowers before taking her
home.
RAN TO CALL PRIE8T
Commending Mary to the lov-
ing care of Our Lady, Madelyn
left the church and ran a full
block down to the nearest tele-
phone at the home of Mrs. Quar-
les on the highway. She couldn't
use the car as Mary would hear
It.
Mrs. Quarles placed the call
to the Rev. pastor, who was at
that hour enroute to Longview
afer a wedding in Dallas. Sub-
sequently a call was placed to
Father Hartnett at Longview
and to the priests at Marshall.
The latter were contacted. Rev.
Fahters Kavanagh and Gormly
came at once but when they had
reached Dalngerfleld after the
long drive it was too late.
HOLY NAME ON HER LIPS
The second attack lasted only
a few minutes. With her lips
moving but unable to speak,
Mary Boehmer died as she had
lived — a faithful daughter of
the Church. The holy name of
Jesus was on her lips when she
breathed her last.
The pastor, stopping to visit
the pastor at Longview, receiv-
ed word that a call had come
from Daingerfield for a priest.
He Investigated and upon talk-
ing to the Daingerfield operator
learned of the death of Mrs. Bo-
ehmer. He left at once for Dain-
gerfield and arrived about 20
minutes after the priests from
Marshall. As it was too late to
administer the holy anointing,
he stayed to console the bereav-
ed.
Recitation of the holy rosary
was held at the Nail Funeral
Home Sun., Jan. 27 at 8 p. m.
with a large assembly of non-
Catholic friends present.
MASS ON 1ST ANNIVERSARY
Requiem Mass was offered at
9:30 a. m.'Tues., Jan. 29th, first
anniversary ol that ley day when
the 6 acres were purchased on
which now stands Our Lady's
beautiful chapel.
Interment was In Immaculate
| Conception Cemetery, Jefferson.
At the conclusion of a funeral
I Instruction on the Holy Eucharist
th« pariah priest said in part:
COMFORTED BY FIDELITY
"As a priest I refrain from eu-
logy of the dead. But as an in-
dividual we cannot let this oc-
casion pr.ss without saying that
during the long, hard struggle
to build Our La dy of Fatima
Church we had many crosses,
some of them known to the
faithful, others forever buried in
the recesses of our heart. In the
midst of these tribulations we were
comforted by the fidelity of our
little flock and especially by the
fidelity of our dear departed."
Mrs. Mary Boehmer was pres-
ent Dec. 5, 1948 when the first
Ma«8 was offered in the history
of the mission at Hughes Springs.
From that date on until the day
of her death she was not known
to miss a single Sunday at Holy
Mass, setting an example to all
about her.
APOSTLE TO LAX SHEEP
An ardent lover of the Catho-
lic faith, Mary Boehmer dislik-
ed "fair-weather" Catholicism.
She was an apostle to lax Catho-
lics, doing what she could by
word and deed to encourage them
to get to Mass.
In 1949 she was the leader of
the discussion club organized at
Daingerfield.
For the new church she help-
ed to sew the drapes for the
priest's room and to make the
drapes for the Confessional. She
was present with two others
when the church was blessed pri-
vately June 14, 1951 in prepara-
tion for the first Mass June 17th.
Through her efforts two donors
from West Virginia sent $100
each to help the young pastor —
for whom she had a sympathetic
heart — pay bills.
FIRST TO BiREAK GROUND
■St, Patrick's Day, March 17,
1951 Mary Boehmer was given
the honor of representing Dain-
gerfield at the groundbreaking
ceremonies for the then planned
Our Lady of Fatima Church. Mrs.
Boehmer was the first to shovel
the dirt for the project.
Active in Our Lady of Fatima
Altar Society from the start,
Mrs. Boehmer turned down sug-
gestions that she be given the
president's job and instead work-
ed harder than most of the
younger women to help the so-
ciety's first president, Mrs.
Frank Hopkins, and its current
president, Mrs. Thomas Johnson.
BACKBONE OF CHOIR
Mary Boehmer was active in
the choir — the Christmas Mid-
night 'Mass was largely through
her efforts. She was faithful,
never missing a practice. Cold
nights she would venture out
PATRICK JANES HOPKINS BAPTIZED
"Receive this white cloth, which mayest thou carry without slain before the Judgment seat of
Our Lord Jbbus Christ, that thou mayest have life everlasting." Those words were said in Latin when
the white cloth, symbol of the purity of a soul af tie Baptism, wis placed on the head of the then 19-
dav old Patrick James Hopkins, 7th child of Frank and Joan Hopkins of Hughes Springs, At the cere-
mony godparents were Herfncn Boehmer and his wife, Mary Boehmer, who passed away Jan. 26 in

to practice in the sometimes un-
heated chapel.
Always possessed of good Irish
humor, when at choir practice
Father said that he was going
to teach them the Requiem Mass,
Mary said: "Why, so I can sing
my own funeral:"
NO ACCIDENT
Speaking at the rosary service
for Mrs. Boehmer, Father said
that it was no accident that
Mary had died in Our Lady's
chapel. He said that he felt that
the Lady of Fatima had appreci-
ated the role Mary had played
In the trying days of the early
history of Our Lady of Fatima
Church.
May her soul and all the sobls
of the faithful departed rest in
peace.
Prayers were said all night
Jan. 21 at a Memphis, Tenn. Pro-
testant church to implore God to
remove the horse racing track
across the river In sin-infested
Arkansas. The horse track was
removed.
In Mexico most of the 20,000,-
000 people are Catholics. The Revol-
ution of 1857 produced a schisma-
tic church, falsely named, "Mpxi-
an Catholic Church." 18 priests
who approved of Benito Juarez
& his persecution became Juda-

Jesus As Personal Savior Seen Necessary
WGSE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH IS TO GET
AS PERSONAL GOD DY RELIEF IN DOCTRINES
1 "I am the resurrection and the
S life: he that belleveth in Me. al-
though he be dead, shall live;
| and everyone that liveth, and
f belleveth in Me, shall not die for
I ever." — Words of Our Lord and
' Savior Jesus Christ taken from
the 11th chapter of St. John's
' Gospel.
In the year 33 a most wonder-
: ful organization was established
■ at Jerusalem. The love of the
: Sacred Heart of Jesus for all
■:i men even unto the end of time
| gave birth in the year 33 to an
I institution about which God In
I human flesh said that all men
| should listen to It: "If anyone
I refuses to hear the Church, let
I him be anathema."
SET UP TO TEACH
This society wais aet up to
teach: "Going, therefore, make
disciples of all nations, baptiz-
ing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Ghost, teaching them
to observe all that I have com-
manded you."
WA8 AUTHORITARIAN
This teaching society was to
be an authoritarian organization.
It had the authority of Jesus to
teach not Just Palestine, noi
Just Italy, not Just our beloved
America but all nations of the
entire world. Hence It received
totalitarian Jurisdiction, i. e.
Christ gave It total rights to
teich His total doctrine to the
gr4nd total of all the nations ot
the universe.
Christ said that He would be
with this Church until the very
last day of time: "Behold I am
with you all days even unto the
consummation of the world."
TO BE INFALLIBLE
Because "of the presence of
Christthis teaching society
would enjoy the gift of infallibi-
lity, L e. It would not err in
teaching the world the teachings
of Christ To St Peter Our Lord
said: "Thou are peter and upon
this rock 1 will build My Church
and the gates of Hall shall not
prevail against it"
Early in its history this moot
wonderful organization acquired a
popular name, a name which it
has retained now some 1900
years. It was Ignatius, the holy
bishop of Antioch and a succes-
sor of St. Peter, who first used
this name in writing. About the
year 110 Ignatius wrote the fol-
lowing in a letter to the follow-
ers of Christ at Smyrna: "Where
Jesus Christ is, there is the
Catholic Church."
EMPEROR CONVERT
The first 290 years of the
Church were years of martyr-
dom. When the Emperor of Rome
himself embraced the faith the
Church emerged from the cata-
combs. As an expression of his
devotion to the faith the convert
Emperor Constantine (died 337)
built two basilicas in Rome, the
first St. Peter's, which lasted
1200 years, and St. Paul's, still
standing. In the spirit of repara-
tion the Emperor, whose prede-
cessors had martyred 30 out of
the first 31 Popes, gave to the
Bishop of Rome a beautiful home
in which he lived for 4 years
short of 1,000 yi?ars.
MARK IN HI8TORY
In the year 432 Celestlne I,
Bishop of Rome, sent St Patrick
to Ireland to enroll the Irish na-
tion In the Church. In 596 Greg-
ory 1 sent the great St Augus-
tine to England and in 719 a
great Englishman, St. Boniface,
a Benedictine monk, was sent by
Gregory ft to evangelize the peo-
ple of Germany.
The Church Indeed has made
her mark in history, But what is
Important is not so much the his-
tory of the Church but the pur-
pose for which she sent her il-
lustrious sons to the nations of
the world. What is Important is
her mission to get the whole
world to accept Jesus Christ as
their personal Savior.
THE CHURCH'S JOB
The Church strives to get her
children and all the people of
the world who listen to her to
accept Jesus aa their living, per-
sonal Savior toy accepting with-
out reservation and with kwWe
docility all of the teachings of
Jesus.
In the Holy Scriptures Our
Blessed Savior once said: "Not
everyone who says to me, 'Lord,
Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom
ot Heaven but he who does the
will of My Father in Heaven, he
shall enter the Kingdom of Hea-
ven." The Church teaches that
we must accept Jesus as our
personal Savior by accepting the
literal truth of these words, that
we cannot get to Heaven by say-
ing 'Lord, Lord' and then doing
as we please. We cannot save
our souls toy following our own,
ideas. We must do the will of
the Father In Heaven, Who de-
sires that we accept His Son is
the personal Savior of the
world.
PENANCE NECE8SARY
Our Divine Lord once said:
"Unless you do penance, you
shall all likewise perish." The
Church of the ages asks her chil-
dren to accept Christ as their
personal Savior by accepting
these words and by doing pen-
ance. Once every year she has a
Reason of special penance, the
holy season of 'Lent, on the eve
of which we now are. During
these 40 days of penitential pre-
paration for Easter the Church
asks her children to fast and
deny themselves worldly amuse
ments and pleasures. Every Fri-
day of the year lu honor of the
fact that Our Blessed Lord died
for us on a Friday the Church
tells her children to do penance
by abstaining from meat. Jesus
said that unless we do penance
we cannot enter the Kingdom or
Heaven. The Church tells ua to
accept Jesus aa our personal St.-
vlor by following His advice on
the need for penanca.
NECESSARY TO BE BAPTIZED
Again during the course of His
life here on earth Our Blessed
Lord laid down another absolute
condition for entrance into Hea-
ven. He said: "Unless a man ba
born again of water and of the
Holy Ghost, he cannot enter the
Kingdom of Heaven." Our Lord
said also: "He that belleveth and
la baptized shall be aaved." (
The Church aaka bar children
and all who listen to her voice to
accept Christ aa their personal
Savior by accepting the teach-
ing of Jeeua and confirming with
it that only those who are horn
again in the waters af Baptlaas
can enter the Kingdom of Hea-
ven. The Church reminds her
children that Holy Baptism is
Important for all creatures of
God because the Son of God de-
clared: "Unless a man be born
again of water and of the Holy
Ghost, he cannot enter the King-
dom of Heaven."
POWER TO FORGIVE 8IN8
On the day of His glorious Re-
surrection Jesus spoke these
words to His Eleven Apostles:
"Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
Whose sins you shell forgive
they are forgiven them. Whose
sins you shall retain, they are
retained." < ■ |^)M|
The Church seeks to get her
children to accept Jesus as a
personal Savior by accepting the
fact that when Jesus told the
Apostles that whatever Sins they
forgave were forgiven, that He
gave to them, men of flesh and
blood, the sacred power to for-
give sins. The Church asks her
people to accept Christ as a per-
sonal Savior by accepting the
fact that He gave to men of
flesh and blood, the Apostles and
their successors, the power to
absolve from sin when He said:
"Whose sins you shall forgive
they are forgiven them."
C0NFE8SI0N URGED
During life the child of
the Church Is urged to go to
Confession often and confess to
the representative of Christ his
or her sins, asking God's pardon
while at the same time indicat-
ing signs of sorrow and Inten-
tion not to sin again. Humbly
the child of the Church kneels
before his spiritual father and
pours forth frOm his soul his
confession to one who is a suc-
cessor of those of old who heard
these very words from Jesus:
"Whose sins you shall forgive,
they are forgiven them."
NECE88ARY TO ACCEPT
PROMI8E TO GIVE FLESH
Jesus, our personal Savior, once
promised to give a bread which
would be His flesh for the life of
the world. When He said that
the bread He would give would
be His very flesh, some of His
headers said to His face: "flow
can this Man give us His flesh
to eat?" These are the very
words with which Jesus replied
to thai objection: "Except you
eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink His Blood, you shall
not have Ule is yon. He who eats
My flesh and drinks My blood
has life everlasting, and I will
raise him up on the last day. For
My flesh 1b food indeed and My
blood 1b drink Indeed. He who eats
My flesh and drinks My blood
abides in Me and I in him. Just
as I live because of the Father,
so also He who eats Me, shall
live because of Me."
TEACHINGS NOT FORCED
Some of Our Lord's disciples
said this was a "hard saying"
They walked out on Christ and
never came back. Jesus let them
go. Just ba the Church later
would have the policy of not
forcing her teachings on anyone,
so also Jesus did not force His
teaching that He would give a
bread which would be His real
flesh as a real food on His dis-
ciples. He invited His own Apos-
tles to leave also if they wished
to regard as a hard saying His
teaching that unless one ate of
His flesh and drank of His
Blood, that eternal life was im-
possible. Peter anawered for the
Apostles and said: "Lord, where
else can we go. Thou alone haat
the words of eternal life."
The Church strives to get her
children to accept Jesua as their
personal Savior by accepting His
teaching that Ha would and did
give the world a bread which is
His real flesh for the life of the
world and that all man, unless
excused by invincible ignorance,
must eat of this Body and Blood
In order to fulfill the worda of
Jesus: "He who eats My flash
and drinks My Blood h a a Ufa
EVERLASTING and I will raise
HIM up on the last day." The
Church urges her children to go
to Holy communion often during
life and to receive at the rail the
Most Holy Body of Christ.
ST. PAUL SPOKE OF IT
The Church uilges her children
to come to the church often to
assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass, i. e. to see enacted before
their eyes that sacred ceremony
about which St. Paul wrote In
these words: "The cup of bless-
ing that we bless, is It not tfie
sharing of the Blood of Christ
and the bread that we break. Is
it not the partaking of the Body
of the Lord?"
BIBLE ON ANOINTINO
St Jamas, a close friend ot
Jeaus and one of. the original
Apostles, wrote these words Mo
(Special note: These thoughts
on the necessity of accepting
Jesus as a personal Savior
were expressed in a homily at
the Requiem High Mass Feb.
23rd for the repose of the soul
of the late James Vincent Whe-
lan of happy memory. In ac-
cordance with the Church's de-
sire that no eulogy be preach-
ed but an instruction given to
help the living, the theme was
presented that the greatest
' thing in this world Is having
faith and the next greatest-
leaving it to those we love,
the Holy Bible: "Is any man sick
among you? If so, let him calS
in the priests of the Church and
let them pray over the sick man.
anointing him with oil, and if
he be In sins, they shall be for-
given him.")
Holy Mother Church aaks her
children to accept Jesus aa a
personal Savior by believing that
the anointing spoken of by, the
Apostle James in the Holy Bi-
ble la a means of grace and that
Jesus wants the dying to be a-
nointed whenever possible.
OUR BLESSED MOTHER
The Holy Bible, describing the
visit of the Mother of Jesus to
her cousin Elisabeth, reports
that the Blsesed Virgin. Inspired
by the Holy Obost, spoke these
words: "Behold all nationa shall
henceforth call me blessed."
Holy Mother Church asks bsr
children to accept Jesus as a
personal Savior by accepting tbe
position which the Holy Bible
gives to Mary, who is called
"Blessed Mother" by aO nations
aa foretold. The Church asks bef
children to please Jesus by ac-
cepting the gift which He made
when at the cross He turned
J) St Jobn and said: "Son, be-
Old thy Mother."
I A CREED TO BELIEVE
With these teachings ol Jesus
as lis source the Creed ot tbe
Church called the Apostles's
Creed Is Imposed upon every
member of tbe Church. Often
during life those words are on
eur lips: "I believe in God,' tbe
Father Almighty, Creator of Hea-
ven and earth, etc."
Tbe Church asks ns to aeoept
Jesus as a personal Savior, aa •
personal Creator. She asks us to
believe that our entry Into this
lite Is no accident but that we
eoase as a rssalt ot the test tbet
God creates oar tanMil sen!.
BIAS SHOWN
BY ARTICLE
London — An Associated PreBS
writer in an article on England's
Queens occasioned by recent
events here has shown marked
bias. Writing about Henry VIII's
Catholic daughter, Queen Mary,
he notes that she put 200 Pro-
testants to death — which the
misguided and unCathollc Queen
did.
in the treatment of the long
reign of Elisabeth I. however,
there Is mention only of her ex-
ploits which made England a
world power. There Is not a line
about Elizabeth's persecution of
Catholics — a persecution which
historians- say was far more bru-
tal and extensive than that of
"Bloody Mary."
COMMENT: Neither Mary nor
Elisabeth were great characters.
Persecution is wrong. But it is
also wrong to treat England's
history in a biased manner by
making a devil of Mary and a
saint of Elisabeth. Both ware far
from canonisation.
Aren't All
Priests?
St. John and St. Petar say that
all Christians are priaats. Tbia
Is true In so far as Christians
from early times have offered
the Sacrifice of the Mass with
the priest and in union with him.
Although the priest can alone
consecrate the Body and Blotod
of Christ, be does so as tbe rep-
resentative of the Christian peo-
ple. Tbe Christian Is also styled
a priest because be offers up
spiritual sacrlflcea. of prayer, ot
almsgiving, of faith In Jasus.
Tbe Cttholio Church beilsvss
that each Christian la a prtsst
In this sense. This, however, does;
not destroy tbe historic fact that
Jesus Christ set up a Priesthoodl
In which only the Apostles and
tbalr direct succsssors abare.
Tbe Christian people ars not and
have never been priests In tbia
latter aense.
