  • What Is Christianity? Teaching Aids 15
    What is Christianity? Teaching Aids 15 Suggestions, p. 167 6. In Romans 16, Paul comments in detail on the persons active in the church of Rome. It is illuminating to determine the names that are female and what those women did in their church. 7. It is appropriate in the chapter on the development of Christianity to read a classic tale. Nathanial Hawthorne (1804–1864) is among the most eminent of American authors, and his “The Minister’s Black Veil” (1836) is a masterpiece of symbolic literature. The narrator describes the ministry of Rev. Mr. Hooper, who disturbs his parishioners by covering his face with a black veil. At death he claims that all persons hide behind a black veil of sorrow and secret sin. Note that in nineteenth-century English, the noun “lover” meant one who loves, not a partner in sexual intercourse. Students can recognize in this story the Puritan history of severe attention to sin and guilt. Discussion of the story can focus on those periods and places in Christianity that were obsessed with sin, as well as on Hawthorne’s attitude toward Puritanism. 8. John Bunyan’s 1678 allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress was for two centuries the most widely read piece of Christian literature in the English language beyond the Bible itself. On the American frontier, many settlers owned two books: the Bible and The Pilgrim’s Progress, and the work has been translated into over two hundred languages. Many contemporary students would find much of the work virtually unreadable, and so perhaps the “First Part” can be divided up among the students.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI ANGELUS St Peter's Square Sunday, 23 October 2005 Dear Brothers and Sisters, With today's Eucharistic celebration in St Peter's Square, the Assembly of the Synod of Bishops was closed. At the same time the Year of the Eucharist was concluded, which the beloved Pope John Paul II opened in October 2004. To the dear and venerable Synod Fathers, with whom I was able to share three weeks of intense work in a climate of fraternal communion, I renew the expression of my cordial gratitude. Their reflections, testimonies, experiences and propositions on the theme, The Eucharist: Source and Summit of the Life and Mission of the Church, have been gathered together to be elaborated in a Post-Synodal Exhortation which, taking into account the different world realities, helps to portray the face of the "Catholic" community, and to live united, amid the plurality of cultures, the central mystery of the faith: the Incarnation of Redemption, of which the Eucharist is the living presence. Moreover, as the exposed tapestries on the facade of the Vatican Basilica show, I had the joy today of proclaiming five new saints which, at the end of the Eucharistic Year, I am pleased to point out their exemplary fruits of communion of life with Christ. They are Jozef Bilczewski, Archbishop of Lviv for Latins; Gaetano Catanoso, priest, Founder of the Congregation of the Daughters of St Veronica, Missionaries of the Holy Face; Zygmunt Gorazdowski, Polish priest, Founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph; Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, priest of the Society of Jesus, from Chile; and the Capuchin Felix of Nicosia.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF JOHN PAUL II TO CARDINAL ANGELO SODANO FOR THE CELEBRATION OF AN ORDINARY PUBLIC CONSISTORY To Cardinal Angelo Sodano My Secretary of State I had convoked the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops living in Rome for the celebration of an Ordinary Public Consistory, for today, 24 February, in view of the conclusion of the process of the Causes of Canonization of some Blesseds. I have been advised, for the sake of prudence, to follow this event from my apartment via television link-up. Consequently, I entrust to you, Venerable Cardinal, the duty to preside at this reunion, giving you the authority to conduct in my name the scheduled events. Therefore, I wish to announce that: - following the favourable opinion that has already been submitted in writing by the Venerable Cardinals throughout the world and by the Archbishops and Bishops who live in Rome, I intend to set Sunday, 23 October 2005, as the date for the Canonization of the following five Blesseds: Bl. Józef Bilczewski, Bishop; Bl. Gaetano Catanoso, priest, Founder of the Congregation of the Daughters of Veronica, Missionaries of the Holy Face; Bl. Zygmunt Gorazdowski, priest, Founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph; Bl. Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, priest of the Society of Jesus; Bl. Felix of Nicosia (in the world: Filippo Giacomo Amoroso), Religious of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. 2 - Furthermore, I intend to assign the Presbyteral Title to the Venerable Cardinal Luigi Poggi, to Cardinal Carlo Furno and to Cardinal Gilberto Agustoni. Cardinal Luigi Poggi will be assigned the Presbyteral Title of St Lawrence in Lucina; in keeping with the wishes of the other two Venerable Cardinals, the Diaconate held by them until now will be raised "pro hac vice" to the Presbyteral Title: to Venerable Cardinal Carlo Furno, the Title of Sacred Heart of Christ the King; to Venerable Cardinal Gilberto Agustoni, the Title of Sts Urban and Lawrence in Prima Porta.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF FIVE NEW BLESSEDS: FLORENTINO ASENSIO BARROSO, CEFERINO GIMÉNEZ MALLA, GAETANO CATANOSO, ENRICO RUBUSCHINI AND MARIA ENCARNACIÓN ROSAL HOMILY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II Sunday, 4 May 1997 1. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (Jn 15:12). The liturgy of this Sixth Sunday of Easter invites us to reflect on the great commandment of love in the light of the paschal mystery. Precisely the meditation on the new commandment, the heart and synthesis of Christ’s moral teaching, introduces us into today’s celebration, made particularly solemn and evocative by the proclamation of five new blesseds. In the second reading and in the Gospel passage, the law of love is presented to us as the testament of Jesus on the eve of his Passion. “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full” (Jn 15:11): thus he concluded his discourse to the Apostles at the Last Supper. Love of God then is the source of true joy. This is what our brothers and sister in the faith personally experienced. They are presented to the Church today as models of generous adherence to the Lord’s commandment. They are “blessed”. In their earthly lives, they lived the love of God in a very special way and for this reason, they were able to delight in the fullness of joy promised by Christ. 2 Today they are held up for our veneration as privileged witnesses to the love of God.

So there is a permanent dialogue and we're close to each other in a new way, in a very deep way. The spiritual center of this hymn thus becomes a prelude to John's proclamation, "And the Word became flesh and lived among us" (John 1:14). We conclude remembering that the beginning of this second part of Psalm 131(132) has been habitually used by the Fathers of the Church to describe the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As early as St. Irenaeus, referring to Isaiah's prophecy concerning the virgin giving birth, explained, "The words, 'Listen, therefore, O house of David' (Isaiah 7:13) indicate that the eternal king that God had promised to David to rise up from 'the fruit of his womb,' an expression that indicates a pregnant virgin.

Jesus hides his face behind each monastery, where the liturgy guides our encounter with the person’s face, to fulfill those words “so will the one who built you newborn Jesus?

But what is the Lord saying to us this Christmas about finding God in one’s spouse. The message of the Christ Child is to tell us he him?

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See CONCLUSION OF THE 11th ORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE SYNOD OF BISHOPS AND YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST CANONIZATION OF THE BLESSEDS: JÓZEF BILCZEWSKI GAETANO CATANOSO ZYGMUNT GORAZDOWSKI ALBERTO HURTADO CRUCHAGA FELIX OF NICOSIA HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Saint Peter's Square World Mission Sunday, 23 October 2005 Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Brothers and Sisters, On this 30th Sunday of Ordinary Time, our Eucharistic celebration is enriched for various reasons that impel us to give thanks to God. The Year of the Eucharist and the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, dedicated precisely to the mystery of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Church, have concurrently come to an end. And in a short while, five Blesseds will be canonized: Archbishop Jozef Bilczewski; Gaetano Catanoso, Zygmunt Gorazdowski and Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, priests; and Felix of Nicosia, a Religious Capuchin Friar. Furthermore, today is "World Mission Sunday", a yearly appointment that reawakens missionary ardour in the Ecclesial Community. 2 With joy I greet all who are present; first, the Synod Fathers, and then, the pilgrims who have come from various nations, together with their Pastors, to celebrate the new Saints. Today's liturgy invites us to contemplate the Eucharist as the source of holiness and spiritual nourishment for our mission in the world: this supreme "gift and mystery" manifests and communicates to us the fullness of God's love. The Word of the Lord, just proclaimed in the Gospel, has reminded us that all of divine law is summed up in love.
