MARCELO SÁNCHEZ SORONDO ‘Remota itaque iustitia quid sunt regna nisi magna latrocinia?’ (St Augustine, De Civ. Dei, IV, 4; PL. 41, 115) ‘Nowhere that the human being makes himself the one lord of the world and owner of himself can justice exist. There, it is only the desire for power and private interests that can prevail’ (Benedict XVI, Homily of 2 October 2005) I am very conscious of the declaration of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, the first Polish Pope in history and thus a man from a country that has suffered great injustice, to the effect that ‘Peace is born not only from the elimination of theatres of war. Even if all these latter were eliminated oth- ers would inevitably appear, if injustice and oppression continue to govern the world. Peace is born of justice: Opus iustitiae pax’.1 The almost imme- morial origin of the idea of justice, its emergence beyond the mythical matrix of Greek tragedy, and the perpetuation of its divine connotations in secular societies, shows that the sense of justice is not limited to the con- struction of legal systems, which, however it never ceases to generate and nourish.2 Writing within a context of realism, St Thomas Aquinas affirmed 1 John Paul II, Address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, 12 November 1983, in The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Papal Addresses to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences 1917-2002 and to the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences 1994-2002.

  • History of the Mount St. Alphonsus Retreat Center
    History of the Mount St. Alphonsus Retreat Center 1001 Broadway (Route 9W) PO Box 219 Esopus, NY 12429-0219 Before the Redemptorists built Mount St. Alphonsus in 1904, the land was owned by Robert Livingston Pell. Said to be the greatest fruit farm in the country, it was known for its apples and grapes, which were shipped to European markets. Pell developed a species of apples, the Newton Pippin, grown in an orchard of more than 25,000 trees. The Pell Coat of Arms included a pelican piercing its own breast to feed its young, an ancient symbol of the Eucharist. The Redemptorist community, still growing at the turn of the century, looked at property in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania before settling here. In 1903, they paid $57,000 for the property. The Redemptorist order bought a quarrying operation in Port Deposit, MD, to produce the granite, used in this building. Construction of the original building began in 1904 and was finished in 1907. The wing on the south end was added in later years. The property has expanded to the present 412 acres on the Hudson River. Redemptorists used the building as a seminary for the training of priests. After initial formation at St. Mary's in Northeast, PA, for six years, students made a year-long long Novitiate in Ilchester, MD, and then spent six years here at Mount St. Alphonsus. The property contained many buildings in earlier times when cattle, horses, pigs, chickens and crops that included corn, potatoes, apples and grapes were raised. The wine used for Mass was made on the property.

  • A DIOCESAN TREASURE in the Bishop's Chapel on the Second Story of His House on East Broad Street Rests a Little-Known Treasure O
    A DIOCESAN TREASURE In the Bishop's chapel on the second story of his house on East Broad Street rests a little-known treasure of the diocese, a reliquary containing authenticated relics of about sixty saints and four beati of the Church. On the outside of the reliquary are inscribed the words, "Sancti Tui, Domine, florebunt sicut lilium, Alleluia; et sicut odor balsami erunt ante Te, Alleluia." That is, "Thy saints, 0 Lord, shall flourish as the lilly, Alleluia; and as the aroma of balsam they shall be before Thee, Alleluia." The reliquary itself was designed about 1950 by Monsignor Roland T. Winel, now retired, who at that time was Secretary to Bishop Ready. It was executed in brass and cedar by Wilhelm Wagner in a studio in New York. While the reliquary itself is of some value, as its inscription implies it is but the repository of the real treasures. The saints whose relics are (or formerly were) in the collection, who are listed below, represent almost every phase of the history of the Church, from St. Ann, mother of Our Lady, down to Pope St. Pius X and St. Maria Goretti, both of whom passed on to heaven in this century. To see these fragments of the bones of the saints is a remakable experience when connected with the study of their lives and histories. To read that the aged Archbishop Hincmar of Reims was carried from that city in the year 882 with the relics of St. Remi or Remigius, fleeing from the onslaught of the Vikings, and then to see today in Columbus a tiny fragment of the same relics, makes the long history of the Church and its veneration of relics come alive.

Capuchins emerged in 1525 with the aim of returning to stricter compliance with the rule established by Francisco assisi in 1209. The Origin of Matteo Bassi (1495-1552), co-founder of the Order of monks Little Capuchin Bernardino Ocino (1487-1564), co-founder of the Order of capuchins Order arose in 1525, when Matteo da Bacio, an Observant Franciscan monk, a native of the Italian region of Marche, said he was inspired by God with the idea that the way of life led by the monks of his time is not the one that their founder, St. Francis of Assisi, envisioned. He sought to return to a primitive way of life of solitude and repentance, as practiced by the founder of their Order. His religious superiors tried to suppress these innovations, and the monk Matteo and his first comrades were forced to hide from the church authorities, who tried to arrest them for abandoning their religious duties.

  • 103-Santa Maria Della Concezione
    Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini The church of Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins is a 17th century convent church on Via Vittorio Veneto, close to Piazza Barberini, in the modern rione Ludovisi (part of the historic Rione Colonna). The church is also known as Santa Maria Immacolata (Our Lady the Immaculate) and Chiesa dei Cappuccini (Church of the Capuchins). Capuchin church dedication is to the Blessed Virgin Mary, under her aspect of the Immaculate Conception. This is the first church in Rome with this particular dedication, for the Franciscan Friars Minor Capuchin (for whom it was built) were fervent proponents of the doctrine before it became a dogma. [1] [2] History The Capuchins are a Franciscan order, founded by Matteo da Bascio in 1525, when he set out to return the Franciscans to an exact interpretation of the Rule of St Francis. Their distinguishing characteristics of beards (which were not allowed to be trimmed) and a the wearing of a separate little hood called the capuce (hence the name) derived from the Camaldolese monks, who helped to defend the infant reform movement. [1] In the second half of the 16th century, Pope Gregory XIII granted the church of San Niccolò di Portiis, the present Santa Croce e San Bonaventura dei Lucchesi, to the nascent Capuchins, and they erected their first purpose-built friary in Rome here. A new church was constructed in 1575 just to the west of the old one, with the apse abutting onto its former façade. This arrangement looks as if the friars used the old church as their choir chapel, as an identical arrangement occurs in many other Roman convents including their future church of Santa Maria della Concezione.
