  • Venerable Suzanne Aubert (1835-1926)
    VENERABLE SUZANNE AUBERT (1835-1926) Venerable Suzanne Aubert lived her whole life dedicated to God. It was a life of heroic service and compassion; a selfless life given to others. She was the founder of New Zealand’s only indigenous religious order, the Sisters of Compassion. Suzanne Aubert was born on 19 June 1835, at St Symphorien-de-Lay, a village not far from Lyon, France. She was baptized in the parish church two days later. Of particular note in her early life was an accident that occurred when she was two years old and which affected her for the rest of her life. She fell into an icy pond in the grounds of the family home and both eyes and limbs were seriously affected. It took several years of hydrotherapy and exercise before she was well enough to attend school. Her eyesight improved, it was said, due to the intercession of Our Lady of Fourvière. Suzanne’s secondary education took place under the guidance of the Benedictine Sisters at La Rochette, a select boarding school catering for about forty pupils. Two of her aunts were members of this congregation. Under her name in the school register is written: “Left for the Missions.” At the age of fifteen Suzanne returned home where she continued her studies in music, art, needlework, languages, literature and classical devotional books. She was an exceptional reader, and taught herself Spanish in order to read the writings of St. Teresa of Avila in the original text. Her father arranged for her to learn cooking at home from their chef, a skill she never regretted.

    MAGAZINE OF ST. MARK’S PARISH PAKURANGA AUCKLAND Sunday 8th May 2016 Mothers’ Day Come... “Holy” Spirit... fill our hearts enkindle in us the fire of Your love... Pentecost is the Birthday of the Church What does 'evangelise' mean? “To give witness with joy and simplicity to who we are and April - June 2016 what we believe in." Pope Francis Email: [email protected] FOOTPRINTS A Word from our Parish Priest Another six months and 2016 will become 2017. Amazing isn't it how fast the days, months, years roll by. We need to make time for ourselves and reflect on what we have experienced over the last few months, and see where God figures in all we have experienced. We might say, well, we have celebrated Ash Wednesday, and the period of Lent, and Holy Week and Easter. God was very evident in those celebrations. Then we had the Ascension and Pentecost. Yes, God was very central in those celebrations also. That's great. But, what about now, as we "celebrate" the Weeks of ORDINARY Time? Is this the 'dull' time in the Church calendar with a few highlights thrown in? We need to spend time thinking about this. In the ORDINARY Time of the Church Year, God does EXTRA-ORDINARY things for us. Do you believe that? Each day God has a message for us. What is that message? Loud and clear He says to each one of us: I LOVE YOU. What is my reaction? Do I say to God, "yeah, and I love you too" and just carry on with life? I think we need to do more, right? It takes work to grow a love relationship.

OPUS DEi AND ITS ARRIVAL IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND • A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Religious Studies at Massey University. Marina Middelplaats 2001 Some biographers of saints have in the past been interested only in highlighting extraordinary things in the lives of God's serv­ ants, from even their earliest days in the cradle. They have, unintentionally perhaps, done a disservice to christian truth. They even said of some of them that as babies they did not cry, nor drink their mother's mi lk on Fridays, out of a spirit of pen­ ance. You and I came into this world crying our heads off, and we most assuredly drank our milk in total disregard for fasts and ember days. -Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, Christ is Passing By, 1974:26.

  • Newsletter 14Th February 2021
    St Francis of Assisi Ohariu Parish Website: www.stfrancisohariu.nz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/st.francis.ohariu/ 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time 14 February 2021 Year B Readings: Leviticus 13:1-2,44-46; 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1; Mark 1:40-45 A Sacrament for every day of the year This weekend the focus of our liturgy is on the sacrament of Marriage. If you Google marriage you can be forgiven for thinking everyone is focussed on the one day when a marriage formally starts – the Wedding day. There are magazines, websites and all sorts of information on how you can have the perfect Wedding day. At times you can be forgiven for thinking it is all about one day in a couple’s life. But whether you are married or not, you know it is about much more than one day. St Paul in today’s reading gives us some clues to helps us get the right balance: Whatever you eat, whatever you drink, whatever you do at all, do it for the glory of God. It might seem very odd to think that we can have a glass of wine for the glory of God! But it is not what we do but how we live our lives that counts. In the sacrament of marriage we have the call to a vocation where two people strive to do it all for the glory of God by living out each and every day of their married lives committed to each other. Some days might con- tain extra-ordinary events and extra-ordinary opportunities to do this, but most days the opportunities are far more ordinary, even mundane.
