Deep in our soul are profound and pleasant memories of the pilgrimage to Lourdes which We had the privilege of making when We went to preside, in the name of Our Predecessor, Pius XI, over the Eucharistic and Marian celebrations marking the close of the Jubilee of the Redemption. 2. We are particularly pleased, therefore, to learn that, on the initiative of the Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, this Marian city is preparing an appropriate celebration for the centenary of the apparitions of the Immaculate Virgin at the grotto of Massabielle, and that an international committee has been set up for this purpose under the presidency of His Eminence Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals. 3. We wish to join with you, Beloved Sons and Venerable Brothers, in thanking God for the great favor granted your country, and for the many graces He has bestowed on multitudes of pilgrims during the past century. 4. We wish to invite all Our children to renew in this jubilee year their confident and generous devotion to her who, in the words of Saint Pius X, deigned to establish at Lourdes "the seat of her immense kindness."[1] 5. Every Christian land is a Marian land; there is not a nation redeemed in the blood of Christ which does not glory in proclaiming Mary its Mother and Patroness.

She was drawn to the order’s charism by observing that the sisters were “women of the heart, that their way of loving just imbued everything that they did.” The sense of a child’s belonging in a classroom and school is affirmed by being taught “from the heart,” Sister Kathryn said. Whatever subject is be- ing discussed “can touch their heart and can make a difference in their life. And so for me, teaching these students is also like, in some ways, teaching their parents,” teaching the students’ future children, “teaching their grandchildren.” And that could include her no-non- Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Blessed sense example of gently reprimanding a mischievous student who playfully soared a paper airplane through the By Beatification of Foundress classroom, as one youngster did when CNY visited Sister Kathryn’s fifth- By CHRISTIE L.

The ceremony will take place on May 15, 2021. Fr. Jordan’s path to beaHficaHon began in 1942, when documentaHon of his life and works was sent to the VaHcan for review. ATer Fr. Jordan was bestowed with the Htle “Servant of God,” Salvatorians helped spread his reputaHon of holiness with more and more people around the world. In 2011 Pope Benedict XVI officially announced that Fr.

  • JEROME of JESUS MARY JOSEPH (Jerome Terzo, 1683-1758) Servant of God
    JEROME OF JESUS MARY JOSEPH (Jerome Terzo, 1683-1758) Servant of God Jerome Nunzio Matthew Terzo was born at Noto, Italy, on May 17, 1683; his youth was spent in poverty, as he exercised the craft of shoemaker. In 1707 he retired to the hermitage of Jesus, Mary and St. Conrad, above Noto, where he took the hermit's habit on Oct. 30, 1707, and committed himself to a life of contemplation and to the apostolate, known as he was for his miraculous powers. Called in 1710 to the pass of Bove, to direct the other hermitage of St. Mary of the Stairs, he was able to transfer the ancient image of Our Lady, till then exposed to the inclemency of the weather, into the church of the hermitage. After an earthquake, in 1715 he rebuilt and amplified the church and made it a center of Marian piety. It is due to him, as the brief Scandere caelum /To ascend into heaven/ of Nov. 27, 1963, recalls, that the devotion to Mary, Stairway to Paradise, was established and diffused among the people, and that after more than two centuries the diocese of Noto asked for and obtained the Virgin, precisely under that title, as its principal patroness. This devotion had been the great devotion of the venerable Jerome (AAS, XVI /1963/ pp. 517-18). In 1710 Providence put him in contact with the Marquis Andrew Statella of Palermo, who through his influence became a priest and then a Carmelite with the name of Salvatore of the Trinity (1678-1728).

All of the Churches recall her memory under this title in their daily Eucharistic prayers, and especially in the annual celebration of Christmas. The Virgin Mary was already venerated as Mother of God when, in 431, the Council of Ephesus acclaimed her Theotokos (God-bearer). As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is exalted, yet still one of us. Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved.

THE POPE’S TWEET SAID, “LIFE IS A GIFT.” MORE AND MORE, PEOPLE SEEM TO BE GETTING THAT MESSAGE. THOUGH THE NEWS MEDIA DOES NOT TELL YOU, THE PRO- DEATH MOVEMENT IS GROWING WEAKER BY THE DAY, OFTEN BECAUSE OF ITS OWN INTERNAL CONTRADICTIONS. FOLLOWING DISCOVERY OF ABORTION CLINICS WITH UNSANITARY AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, UNSAFE MEDICAL PRACTICES, UNLICENSED PERSONNEL, AND BOTCHED ABORTIONS RESULTING IN INJURIES AND DEATH, MORE AND MORE ABORTION CLINICS ARE BEING SHUT DOWN AND THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS NATIONALLY CONTINUES TO DECLINE. PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS, MAINLY DONE IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER, ARE NOW ILLEGAL, AND STATES ARE NOW MOVING TO BAN BRUTAL SECOND TRIMESTER DISMEMBERMENT ABORTIONS. MORE AND MORE LEGISLATURES ARE EVEN BANNING ANY ABORTIONS AFTER 20 WEEKS WHEN THE UNBORN CHILD CAN FEEL PAIN. MOREOVER, IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, STATE LEGISLATURES Building a Culture of Life 4/15 HAVE PASSED MORE PRO-LIFE BILLS THAN IN THE PREVIOUS 10 YEARS COMBINED! WE EXPECT THESE LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSES TO CONTINUE, AS POLLS SHOW THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS THE MOST PRO-LIFE GENERATION IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY!

  • Session 8: Commitment
    SESSION Commitment SESSION 8: COMMITMENT Extract from Catching Fire It is one thing to know what we are about. It is another to be committed to that with passion and conviction. Commitment gives life to the purpose we have. It is the lived out witness to the vision we carry, and the tangible expression of the deep faith we have. The way we express our commitment is as unique as we are. But it will be nurtured in us all by a personal prayer life, and characterized by engagement with the world that is respectful, empowering and hopeful. 1. Article: The Australian Religious Landscape through Catholic Eyes, on the Eve of World Youth Day 2008 by Fr. Frank Brennan (Published as “Ein Weltjugendtag an gottlosem Ort? – Die kirchliche und religiose Landschaft Australiens” Herder Korrspondenz July 2008, pp. 345-9 (German abstract here)) James Denney, a nineteenth century Scottish Presbyterian theologian, described Australia as “the most godless place under heaven”. The label is often taken as the starting point for discussing the religious sensibility of Australians who live in a markedly secular, materialistic society founded upon the dispossession of the Aborigines who had inhabited the land for up to 60,000 years. The British were the first Europeans to establish a permanent settlement on Australian soil. They erected a penal colony at Sydney Cove, asserting sovereignty in the name of the British Crown on 26 January 1788. No treaty was negotiated with the Aborigines. No compensation was paid for the state-authorised confiscation of their lands. It took until 1992 for the Australian courts to recognise that Aborigines had rights to land which survived the assertion of British sovereignty.
