  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE PILGRIMS WHO HAD COME FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF EIGHT SERVANTS OF GOD Monday, 5 November 2001 Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and Priesthood, Dear Men and Women Religious, Brothers and Sisters in Christ! 1. Yesterday, three days after the Solemnity of All Saints, on which we gave thanks to God for the wonderful works he performed in many of our brothers and sisters who have gone before us on the road to holiness, the Church continues to rejoice over the proclamation of eight new Blesseds. At this morning's meeting, we had a chance to learn from the teaching and example of charity that they have given us. All of this has to impel us to find the confidence and courage to continue on the demanding and exalting road to holiness, the "high standard of ordinary Christian living" (Novo millennio ineunte, n. 31). 2. My warm welcome goes firstly to you, dear pilgrims of Slovakia, who rejoice for the Beatification of Pavel Peter Gojdic and Methodius Dominic Trcka. Following the evangelical spirit and the apostolic zeal of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Apostles of the Slavs, these two new Blesseds are extraordinary for their love of Christ, service to their neighbour, and fidelity to the Chair of Peter. For his episcopal ministry, the blessed Pavel Peter Gojdic chose the motto "God is love, let us love him!", which he translated into a strong devotion for the Eucharist and the Sacred Heart. He nourished a deep love for the Mother of God, especially towards the image of Our Lady of Klokov, which he kept in the chapel of his residence.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries. We applaud the president’s actions as consistent with the family values guiding our country.” Angie Reyes, a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Indianapolis, rejoiced during a watch party hosted by the Indianapolis As part of the entertainment at the Intercultural Ministry Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 at the Archbishop Edward T.

  • IMC Newsletter N°32
    The General Council – Rome IMC Newsletter N°32 Rome, December 08, 2015 Feast of the Immaculate Conception, beginning of the Extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy! INTRODUCTION Dear brothers, our vocation of people consecrated for the mission is very beautiful but also very challenging; it drives us on new and unknown paths and processes. But throughout this process the most important aspect is the love of life of which our vocation should be a sign and a witness, a life lived with others, especially the poorest and neediest. «The multitude of those who believed was of one heart and soul, and no one considered his property all that he owned, but they had everything in common. With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and all enjoyed great favour. None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles’ feet; then it was distributed to each according to his need» (Acts 4,32-35). Pope Francesco during his visit to South Korea spoke of consolation. Let us meditate on his word: «There is a word that attracts me a lot: consolation. Consolation: the presence of God in any of his modalities. Our Holy Father Ignatius always tries to confirm the decision of the reform of life or of the election of the status of life through the second way of “election”: the consolation. Consolation is a beautiful word for those who receive it.
