06-13-2021 Pentecost 3 West Palm.Pub June 13th, 2021 A.D. – Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Gregorian Latin liturgy Until 1969, the various Catholic liturgies were all of apostolic origin. The Gregorian Latin liturgy, celebrated in this church, fol- lows the tradition of Saint Peter, the first Pope, and has never undergone any essen- tial change till the present time. Every ges- ture, every word has been weighed and measured with the assistance of the Holy Ghost for the greatest glory of God and the salvation of souls. Welcome Visitors! We thank you for coming.

Benediction after Mass Sunday July 4th: A special collection to support the SSPX Schools and Education department. **** Welcome Father Fabula!!! **** June is the month of the Sacred Heart. The universal devotion to the Sacred Heart was brought about due to the mission entrusted to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque by Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The feast was extended to the whole church by Pius IX in 1856, and made a first-class feast by Leo XIII in 1889. The feast and month of the Sacred Heart is not just a time for “simple” prayer. Rather, it has always been tied to the spirit of sacrifice, with reparation made for the offenses against Our Lord. As faithful, therefore, we should prepare to participate in this month fully, with our external actions, penances, and holy hours playing a vital role. **** Today’s Second Collection will be taken up for the building fund. **** St. Anthony of Padua was born Fernando Martins de Bulhões on August 15, 1195. He is also known as St. Anthony of Lisbon. He was a Portuguese priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy on June13, 1231. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of the Scriptures, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946. **** St. Basil of Caesarea (St. Basil the Great) (330 – January 1st, 379) He was an influential theologian who supported the Nicene Creed and opposed the heresies of the early Christian church, fighting against both Arianism and the followers of Apollinaris of Laodicea. In addition to his work as a theologian, St. Basil was known for his care of the poor and underprivileged. He established guidelines for monastic life which focus on community life, liturgical prayer, and manual labor. **** St. Juliana belonged to the noble Falconieri family of Florence. Her uncle, Alexis Falconieri, was one of the seven founders of the Servite Order. Under his influence, St. Juliana Falconieri decided at a young age to follow the consecrated life. After her father's death in 1285, she received the habit of the Third Order of the Servites from St. Philip Benizi, then Prior General of that Order. She remained at home until 1305, following the rule the prior had given her until her mother's death, when St. Juliana and several companions moved into a house of their own, which became the first convent of the Sisters of the Third Order of Servites. St. Juliana would serve as Superior until the end of her life. She died in 1341 at the age of seventy-one. “The LORD is in his Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” (Hab. 2, 20) ON OUR CONFIDENCE TO THE MOTHER OF GOD. St. Alphonsus Liguori (7) St. Peter Damian says that the Virgin “loves us with an invincible love." How ardently so ever the saints may have loved this amiable queen, their affection fell far short of the love which Mary bore to them. It is this love that makes her so solicitous for our wel- fare. The saints in Heaven, says St. Augustine, have great power to obtain grace from God for those who recommend themselves to their prayers; but as Mary is of all the saints the most powerful, so she is of all the most desirous to procure for us the divine mercy: “Sicut omnibus sanctis potentior, sic omnibus est pro nobis sollicitior.” And, as this our great advocate once said to St. Bridget, she regards not the iniquities of the sinner who has recourse to her, but the disposition with which he invokes her aid. If he comes to her with a firm purpose of amendment she receives him, and by her inter- cession heals his wounds, and brings him to salvation. “However great a man’s sins may be, if he shall return to me, I am ready instantly to receive him. Nor do I regard the num- ber or the enormity of his sins, but the will with which he comes to me; for I do not dis- dain to anoint and heal his wounds, because I am called, and truly am, the mother of mercy.” To receive Holy Communion : - The most important requirement is to have a - You must be a baptized Catholic, having made great desire to receive the Body, the Blood, the a good confession since the last committed mor- Soul and the Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. tal sin - if any - in order to hopefully be in the You can humbly approach the Communion rail at state of Grace. any time after the Communion of the priest. - You must believe in the doctrine of Transub- Then, open your mouth wide and extend smooth- stantiation. “For anyone who eats and drinks without ly and horizontally your tongue. discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon him- There is no special order, so that nobody should self” (1 Cor. 11:29). feel compelled to follow a general movement. - You must observe one hour of Eucharistic fast Do not judge your neighbor who abstains from (except water and medicine.

  • Saint Juliana Falconieri
    1 June 19 Saint Juliana Falconieri Florentine by birth, Juliana was attracted by the holy lives of the first Friars of the Servite Order. She consecrated her life to God, devoting her time to prayer an works of penance and charity. She is properly considered among those women who, while continuing to live in their own homes, adopted a Servite way of life. She received the habit of the "mantellates". Juliana occupied a singular position among these women, so that the tradition of the Order has considered her the foundress of the Servite sisters. She is noted for her devotion to the Mother of the Lord and her love for the Eucharist. Her body is venerated in the Basilica of the SS. Annunziata in Florence. She was canonized by Pope Clement XII in 1737. From Liturgy OSM This city of ours (Florence) was the birthplace of Juliana, a brilliant example of virginity and a remarkable pride of the women. She was one who became famous for her great sanctity. She did not adorn herself with vain splendor nor was she attracted to passing things or the outward appearance of fame or beauty but rather by the reward of virtue, in which true beauty and the glory of victory reside. That she was a devoted follower of holy sermons is proven by the testimony of what she did. Among other things, she assumed the mourning clothes of the Blessed Mother and obtained thereby an immortal place for herself in heaven, wearing the habit of the Virgin into eternal life. In regard to the ever-to-be-feared divine judgment, consider an amazing example of which we read.

  • Daily Saints - 17 February
    Daily Saints - 17 February Feast of Seven Founders of the Servite Order Venerated in: Roman Catholic Church, Beatified: 1 December 1717 by Clement XI, Canonized: 15 January 1888 by Pope Leo XIII Named the fifth mendicant order by Pope Martin V, it was founded in 1233 by • Saint Alexis Falconieri • Saint Bartholomew degli Amidei • Saint Benedict dell'Antella • Saint Buonfiglio Monaldi • Saint Gherardino Sostegni • Saint Hugh dei Lippi-Uguccioni • Saint John Buonagiunta Monetti These seven men were born in Florence, Italy, and led lives as hermits on Monte Scenario. They had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Servite Order is one of the five original Catholic mendicant orders. Its objectives are the sanctification of its members, preaching the Gospel, and the propagation of devotion to the Mother of God, with special reference to her sorrows. The members of the Order use O.S.M. (Ordo Servorum Beatae Mariae Virginis) as their post-nominal letters. The male members are known as Servite Friars or Servants of Mary. The Order of Servants of Mary (The Servites) religious family includes friars (priests and brothers), contemplative nuns, a congregation of active religious sisters, and lay groups. On Friday, April 13, 1240, the hermits received a vision of Our Lady. She held in her hand a black habit, and a nearby angel bore a scroll reading "Servants of Mary." Mary told them: "You will found a new order, and you will be my witnesses throughout the world. This is your name: Servants of Mary. This is your rule: that of Saint Augustine.

  • Miracles, Science, and Testimony in Post-Tridentine Saint-Making
    Science in Context 20(3), 481–508 (2007). Copyright C Cambridge University Press ! doi:10.1017/S0269889707001391 Printed in the United Kingdom Miracles, Science, and Testimony in Post-Tridentine Saint-Making Fernando Vidal Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin Argument Seeing a prodigious cure happen and then testifying about it certainly differs from attending an air pump experiment in order to bear witness to it. Yet early-modern saint-making and the “new” or “experimental philosophy” shared juridical roots, and thereby an understanding of the role of testimony for the establishment of “matters of fact” and for the production of legitimate knowledge. The reforms carried out after the Council of Trent, especially during Urban VIII’s pontificate (1623–1644), of the juridical procedures for saint-making in the Catholic Church implied a new attitude towards the examination of proposed miracles. Most of these miracles were healings. While the appeal to medical expertise had long been common, and skepticism had often manifested itself regarding cures or extraordinary bodily phenomena, both were now given formal status. Miracle inquests henceforth leaned towards refuting miraculousness by means of natural explanations. The procedure was systematized in a treatise published in the 1730s by Prospero Lambertini (later pope Benedict XIV). The combination of Lambertini’s work with the canonization causes in which he acted as the “devil’s advocate” in charge of disputing arguments favorable to a sainthood candidate allows for a reconstruction of the interplay between the juridical and scientific economies of saint-making, and of the role of testimony in the production of trust and evidence.

  • 127-San Pietro in Vaticano.Pages
    Saint Peter’s Basilica Vatican City The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. Saint Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, holding 60,000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". In Catholic tradition, it is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century. Construction of the present basilica, over the old Constantinian basilica, began on April 18, 1506 and was completed on November 18, 1626. Saint Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age.

Devotion to Servite saints and blessed and the canonizations of St. Peregrine and St. Juliana. Studies in the Order up to the Methodus of Fra Francesco Raimondo Adami. Servants of Mary about 1750. Effects of the European political situation on the Order up to the Napoleonic suppressions. Distinguished Servites of the eighteenth century. Characteristics of the century The events, men and the life of the Order in the eighteenth century look like a kaleidoscope of contrasting and even contradictory features. In the first half of the century the Servants of Mary reached the highest number of friars in their entire history. But the suppressions at the end of the century and in the first decade of the nineteenth century brought about the closing of a large number of priories and the dispersal of the majority of their friars. The priors general of this century of the Enlightenment were men of renown. Some were later named bishops or cardinals. But nearly all of them were appointed by popes and not elected at general chapters. In fact, although seventeen general chapters should have been held in the eighteenth century, only twelve actually met. The first half of the eighteenth century was characterized, by a great vitality. There were various decrees and instructions for the improvement of studies in the Order. Devotion to Servite saints and blessed, including the Seven Founders, experienced a great growth and Peregrine Laziosi and Juliana Falconieri were canonized.

    PASTOR’S MEANDERINGS 16 – 17 JUNE 2018 ELEVENTH SUNDAY ORDINARY TIME (B) SUNDAY REFLECTION Lead kindly light amidst the encircling gloom, lead thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, lead thou me on! Keep Thou my fee; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I love to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on! (Blessed John Henry Newman) Eucharist announces that the norm for Christian living is the self-giving of Jesus. The bread and the wine are calculated to nourish and sustain us for our own growth and that of our sisters and brothers. Eucharist is always an outward movement whereby the strength we receive in this sacrament energizes us to reach out and enables others to grow. The image of the self-giving Jesus on Calvary has become the criterion for such growth. STEWARDSHIP: Like the sower in today’s Gospel, I scatter as seed my gifts of time, talent, and resources; and I trust that, by God’s grace and in God’s time, these small gifts of myself my grow and flourish and help to bring about the kingdom of God. Pope Paul VI “The law of Christian maturity demands that we lose ourselves in concern for others. One must not wait until all problems at home are solved before beginning to address oneself to those of the neighbor. In fact, an awareness of the immensity of the tasks and problems of progress which face humanity as a whole can stir individuals to work more seriously for progress in their own society.” READINGS FOR NATIVITY OF ST.
