In this parable, Christ wants to show his listeners who is the neighbour mentioned in the great commandment of the divine law: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself" (Lk 10:27). A doctor of the law was asking what he should do to have eternal life: he found in these words the decisive answer. He knew that love of God and neighbour is the first and greatest of the commandments.

  • Quotes for Parish Bulletins & Newsletters
    A listening Church – A Synodal Church “Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.” (Rev 2:29) The world in which we live, and which we are called to love and serve, even with its contradictions, demands that the Church strengthen cooperation in all areas of her mission. It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium. (Pope Francis, Address Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Synod of Bishops, 2015) A synodal Church is a Church which listens, which realizes that listening “is more than simply hearing”. It is a mutual listening in which everyone has something to learn… all listening to the Holy Spirit, the “Spirit of truth” (Jn 14:17), in order to know what he “says to the Churches” (Rev 2:7)… (Pope Francis, Address Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Synod of Bishops, 2015) Pope Francis’ calls for “a listening church, a synodal church,” at all levels of church life. The Holy Spirit, he says, must be given breathing room to bring forth such a church. Quotes The Spirit’s instrument for interpreting divine revelation is the sensus fidei, a “sense of the faith”, or better, a sense for the faith. It is capacity which the Spirit gives, along with the gift of faith, for Parish to a every baptized believer and to the church as a whole. A synodal church is a church that listens to the Spirit communicating through the sense of all the faithful, the sensus fidelium.

  • The Millennium of Polish Pilgrimages
    PEREGRINUS CRACOVIENSIS Zeszyt 10, 2000 ISSN 1425−1922 Antoni Jackowski, Izabela Sołjan The Millennium of Polish Pilgrimages 1. igrations stimulated by religious motifs have played an important role wi− thin the migration processes in many countries. Peregrinations to holy pla− Mces have existed almost since the beginning of mankind. Apart from the religious values, pilgrimages have also constituted an important element in the deve− lopment of the geographical horizons of societies. Also they have always been one of the main factors determining religious culture in its broadest meaning. In Poland, the pilgrimage tradition goes back to pagan times, while the early days of Christian pilgrimages could be noted as early as the 11th century. At present, about 5−7 million people a year participate in the pilgrimage migrations. This is about 15% of the population of Poland. The pilgrims are Roman and Orthodox Catholics as well as members of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Muslim. In the past, the pilgrimage groups included the members of Jewish congregations and during the years of partitions also the Polish Protestants. The Poles now account for more than 3−5% of the Christian pilgrims all over the world and for about 20% in Europe. At the moment, in Poland, there are more than 500 pilgrimage sanctuaries. The absolute majority (98%) of the pilgrimage centres belong to the Roman Catholic Church. Among those Catholic centres dominant position belongs to St. Mary’s sanctuaries. There are about 430 of them and out of this number 200 possess crowned effigies of Our Lady. The most important centres have acquired international fame.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS OF FRANCE ON THEIR "AD LIMINA APOSTOLORUM VISIT" Saturday, 5 April 1997 Your Eminence, Dear Brothers in the Episcopate, 1. Welcome, Pastors of the Île-de-France. In this Easter season I am pleased to receive you during your pilgrimage ad limina Apostolorum. Your visit shows our communion in Christ for the sake of serving the Church, founded on the Apostles, the pillars of the Church, which seeks every day to be more faithful to the mission entrusted to the College of the Apostles under Peter’s leadership. I first thank Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, Archbishop of Paris, for his presentation of your Apostolic Region. In addition, I would like to greet Bishop Olivier de Berranger, who recently succeeded the late Bishop Guy Deroubaix in Saint-Denis, France, and to assure him of my prayers for his new pastoral ministry. I am also pleased to welcome, together with the residential Bishops of the Île-de-France, Bishop Michel Dubost, Bishop of the French Army, who is responsible for preparing the World Youth Day. More than 30 years have passed since the ancient Dioceses of Paris, Versailles and Meaux were restructured and five new Dioceses created, which by now have acquired their own identity. This does not prevent an organized collaboration between you at various levels, which is all the more timely for the vitality of the Christian communities, since the resources of various sectors are very unequal, especially as regards pastoral workers. Following the example of other great world metropolises, you aim at the greatest possible harmony in the co-ordination of ecclesial life, particularly necessary when a population is constantly on the move in the area.

This popular Centre event - a tradition since 1994 - is a wonderful opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones while enjoying great wines and delicious hors d'oeuvres. Come celebrate Bastille Day, France’s national holiday. Halfway to Mardi Gras 2 (August 11, N’Awlins Restaurant, Manchester, NH) Celebrating the thrill of Mardi Gras once a year just isn’t enough!

At the start of spring those who are in the “springtime of life”, today, Palm Sunday, are celebrating the One who is the Life, Jesus Christ, because he alone has the words of eternal life and can transform all of life into springtime. From 19 to 24 August next, young people from Ecclesial Communities throughout the world have been given an appointment in Paris to continue their great pilgrimage across the globe. The last, unforgettable stop took place in January 1995 in Manila. Dear young people, let us walk together on this pilgrimage of faith and hope, carrying the Cross of Christ, sign of the Love that saves the world. See you in Paris! 2. It is only a few months until World Youth Day, which will be held from 19 to 24 August. I invite the young people from every continent gathered in this square and all of you listening to me on radio or television to come to Paris, France, for these days. In the meantime, do not hesitate to ask Christ the question his disciples asked in St John’s Gospel: “Teacher, where are you staying?” (Jn 1:38). With your friends from other nations and cultures, come and receive the answer which the Successors of the Apostles, your Bishops, will pass on to you: “Come and see” (Jn 1:46). With Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, Archbishop of Paris, with the Bishops and the whole Church in France which is preparing to welcome you, I am expecting you and say to you: do what you can to enter the third millennium as sons and daughters of God! 2 3.

  • Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination
    Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination INTRODUCTION Catholics live in an enchanted world, a world of statues and holy water, stained glass and votive candles, saints and religious medals, rosary beads and holy pictures. But these Catholic paraphernalia are mere hints of a deeper and more pervasive religious sensibility that inclines Catholics to see the Holy lurking in creation. —Andrew Greeley, The Catholic Imagination (2000) “Heavenly Bodies” features the work of designers who for the most part were raised in the Roman Catholic tradition. While their current relationships to Catholicism vary, most acknowledge its enduring influence on their imaginations. On the surface, this influence is expressed through explicit Catholic imagery and symbolism as well as references to specific garments worn by the clergy and religious orders. On a deeper level, it manifests as a reliance on storytelling, and specifically on metaphor—which the sociologist Andrew Greeley describes as the essential characteristic of a particular sensibility he defines as “the Catholic imagination.” This exhibition explores how the Catholic imagination has shaped the creativity of designers and how it is conveyed through their narrative impulses. These impulses are reflected in the organization of the exhibition, which unfolds as a series of short stories told through conversations between religious artworks in The Met collection and fashions of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Catholic imagination also operates on an experiential level, and, accordingly, the show’s configuration evokes the concept and practice of a pilgrimage. The journey begins at The Met Fifth Avenue in the Byzantine and medieval art galleries and continues in the Anna Wintour Costume Center.
