Blessed Lojze Grozde Catholic.net Roman martyrology: Lay man in the Archdiocese of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Martyred by Communist partisans. Beatification Date: 13 June 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI SHORT BIOGRAPHY Lojze Grozde was born, an illegitimate child, on 27 May 1923 in the village of Gorenje Vodale, Slovenia. When he was four, his mother married, but his stepfather kept the boy away from his mother as much as he could. Because Lojze was a good pupil at school, the stepfather changed his attitude and allowed the boy to stay at the house, where an aunt, helped by some benefactors, took care of him. The lad became an outstanding student in secondary school, where he also became a member of Catholic Action and the Marian Congregation. Towards the end of his secondary schooling, World War II was approaching. The young man sought his path in life through meditation and learning, in deep prayer, and in apostolic work for others. During his summer holiday in 1942 he did not go home. The increasing violence in Europe rendered travel difficult. It was not until New Year 1943 that he decided to visit his relatives and asked for a permit to travel home. First he visited a friend in the village of Struge. On 1 January 1943, he attended Mass in a local monastery, received Holy Communion, then travelled by train as far as Trebnje, where destroyed rails stopped his progress. Continuing his journey on foot, he obtained a ride in a cart as far as Mirna. Here, he was seized and interrogated by a partisan guard. On him were found a copy of The Imitation of Christ and a booklet on Our Lady of Fatima. This was enough to condemn him as an informant – of what, who knows? – and he was tortured and killed. Towards the end of February that year, his fate was partly revealed. School página 1 / 2 Blessed Lojze Grozde Catholic.net children picking snowdrops found his corpse. Although there were traces of torture on his body, the corpse itself was incorrupt. Lojze’s body was taken to a nearby town where a report was prepared. He was buried at the cemetery in Sentrupert because the difficult circumstances made it impossible to bury him in his hometown. Blessed Lojze, may teach us how to be true disciples of Jesus. página 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

The Holy See
The Holy See BENEDICT XVI ANGELUS Saint Peter's Square Sunday, 13 June 2010 (Video) Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Year for Priests came to an end a few days ago. Here in Rome we lived unforgettable days, with the presence of more than 15,000 priests from across the world. Therefore, today I would like to thank God for all the benefits that this Year has brought to the universal Church. No one will ever be able to measure them but they can certainly be seen and their fruits will be even easier to see. The Year for Priests ended on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, which is traditionally the "day of priestly sanctification"; and it was so this time in a quite special way. In fact, dear friends, the priest is a gift of the Heart of Christ: a gift for the Church and for the world. From the Heart of the Son of God, brimming with love, flow all the goods of the Church. In particular, originates in it the vocation of those men who, won over by the Lord Jesus, leave all things to devote themselves without reserve to the service of the Christian people, after the example of the Good Shepherd. The priest is moulded by the charity of Christ himself, that love which impelled him to lay down his life for his friends and also to forgive his enemies. For this reason all priests are first and foremost workers of the civilization of love. And here I am thinking of so many priests, known and less known figures, some of whom have been raised to the honour of the altars, others whose memory lives on indelibly in the faithful, even in a small parish community, as happened at Ars, the French village where St John Mary Vianney exercised his ministry.

The Holy See
The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO H.E. MRS. MAJA MARIA LOVRENČIČ SVETEK, NEW AMBASSADOR OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA TO THE HOLY SEE Friday, 22 October 2010 Your Excellency, It is a real pleasure to receive you at the moment when you are presenting the Letters accrediting you to the Apostolic See as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Slovenia. I would like to express my appreciation of the deferential testimony of the Civil Authorities and of your compatriots' sentiments of affection for the Successor of Peter which you have interpreted. Kindly convey my greetings to H.E. Dr Danilo Türk, President of the Republic of Slovenia, as well as to the other members of the Government. I would like to assure every one of your fellow-countrymen of my affection and my closeness. Among the fundamental presuppositions of the entry of the Slovenian nation into the European Union, which has taken place ever more naturally in these years, are the common Christian roots of “the Old Continent”. We are particularly indebted to Sts Cyril and Methodius, unflagging and zealous missionaries in the central regions of Europe, for the proclamation of the Gospel and the rooting of Christianity in the soul of the Slav peoples. So it was that Slovenia's anchorage in the Gospel values, which always reinforce a nation's identity and enrich its culture, made an important contribution to the country's cohesion and fostered feelings of friendship with other nations on that part of the continent. On looking at the history of the Slovene People the stamp of moral values and the spirituality of Christianity stand out.

Consequences of the Communist Revolutionary Ideology for the Catholic Community in Slovenia
The Person and the Challenges Volume 3 (2013) Number 2, p. 93–111 Bogdan Kolar University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Consequences of the Communist Revolutionary Ideology for the Catholic Community in Slovenia Abstract The Second World War began in Slovenia on 6 April, 1941 with the occupation of the national territory by the German, Italian and Hungarian occupying forces and resulted not only in the efforts to liberate the country but gave rise to intense revolutionary events. By declaring the liberation movement its exclusive right, the Communist Party, until then banned and working underground, announced a fierce fight against anyone not willing to submit to its plans and leadership. It also used the Civil War to launch a revolution. Following the Church’s teaching, Slovenian Catholics were reluctant to go along with such conduct. Violence against ideological opponents of Communism began already in the autumn of 1941. At the end of war when the Communist Party and its satellite organizations took over the country, the violence against those who disagreed continued and culminated in the summer of 1945. Among them were many Catholic families, priests and members of religious orders. Pressure on the priests started to decline after 1960, yet the pressure on the Catholic laity grew stronger. Keywords Catholic Church, Communist Revolution, Slovenia, totalitarian Regimes, World War II. During his first visit to Slovenia in May 1996 which occurred after many years of hopes and expectations, because the political authorities considered the situation unfavourable for an earlier visit, Pope John Paul II delivered a speech at the main meeting with the faithful in Ljubljana, in which he mentioned: “Your Christian community underwent severe ordeals in the past, most recently the horrors of the two world wars.

When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb”. When life presents us with some unexpected novelty we feel we are growing. This happens when we hear a bit of news which arouses our curiosity, when it makes us re-act, when we feel we have to go and see for ourselves, when we feel we have to relate and listen, when we are made to think. We feel so pleased then. Only at the very end of all this do we succeed in summing up all that has happened under a title and to understand that behind this there was a whole story which finally we managed to decipher.

SVETNIŠTVO PO SLOVENSKO Kateheze OFS 2017/2018 - Drugi Del
1.11.2017 SVETNIŠTVO PO SLOVENSKO Kateheze OFS 2017/2018 - drugi del Pokrajinski svet OFS, Mb K prvim trem katehezam, ki smojih dobili na začetku septembra in so se ukvarjale s slovenstvom, svetništvom in slovensko vernostjo, dodajamo še osem novih, ki pred nas postavljajo nekaj slovenskih svetniških kandidatov in njihove zgodb. Osebe iz katehez so: o Friderik Irenej Baraga o Drinske mučenke o Alojzij Grozde o Danijel Halas o Cvetana Priol o Anton Martin Slomšek o P. Vendelin Vošnjak o Anton Vovk V gradivu so postavljeni po abecednem redu njihovih priimkov, čeprav jih lahko uporabite ne glede na vrstni red – odvisno pač od tega, kako se bolje vključujejo v vaš letni program. Od začetka leta 2018 in do njegovega konca nas bodo posamezni kandidati spremljali tudi preko revije Brat Frančišek. Naj nam vsem koristijo na poti svetosti. Mir in dobro! (snovalci katehez) FRIDERIK IRENEJ BARAGA ENO JE POTREBNO Svetopisemski odlomek – Jak 2,14-26 Kaj pomaga, moji bratje, če kdo pravi, da ima vero, nima pa del? Mar ga lahko vera reši? Če sta brat ali sestra gola in jima manjka vsakdanje hrane, pa jima kdo izmed vas reče: »Pojdita v miru! Pogrejta se in najejta!« a jima ne daste, kar potrebujeta za telo, kaj to pomaga? Tako je tudi z vero, če nima del; sama zase je mrtva. Vendar bo kdo rekel: »Ti imaš vero, jaz imam pa dela. Pokaži mi svojo vero brez del in jaz ti bom pokazal vero iz svojih del. Ti veruješ, da je Bog eden? Prav imaš. Tudi demoni verujejo, a trepetajo.« Hočeš spoznati, prazni človek, da je vera brez del neučinkovita? Ali ni bil naš oče Abraham opravičen iz del, ker je položil svojega sina Izaka na oltar? Vidiš, da je vera sodelovala z njegovimi deli in da je šele zaradi del postala popolna.

Following Christ is not easy, the pope said on March 28. It’s an uphill path that often goes against contemporary trends. “People can choose the easy way and avoid every hardship. They can descend toward the bottom, the vulgar. They can sink in the swamp of lies and dishonesty. Jesus walks ahead of us, and goes toward the heights,” he said. The papal liturgy, celebrated in St. Peter’s Square on a beautiful spring day, began with a procession led by an international group of young people, who carried palm and olive branches in commemoration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem a few days before his passion and death. The pope, who turns 83 in April, rode in a white jeep to the altar, holding a garland of braided palm fronds.
