The Priestly Calling–Salvatorian Experience Introduction This is Volume 10 in the series Contributions on Salvatorian History, Charism and Spirituality: The Priestly Calling–Salvatorian Experience. It presents for the fi rst time in English the works of four important Salvatorians in Europe and America. Each in his own way worked to realize Fr. Jordan’s dream of a stable religious order enlisting the special gifts of priests–holy, zealous and truly apostolic priests. Even before meeting in person, we can assume that Fr. Jordan knew of Fr. Bernard Luethen (who would later take the name “Bonaventure”) through the latter’s writings. These appeared in Ambrosius, a magazine for priests, where he encouraged and often cajoled priests to live lives worthy of their calling. Many of his articles were collected and published in Germany in the 1930’s in a book entitled Helig dem Herrn, Consecrated to the Lord. This volume clearly illumines what might have drawn Jordan and Leuthen into their life-long collaboration. It also explains why Jordan insisted that each new province open a school for training priests as soon as possible. This impetus shaped the future of each province, most especially in the USA. Another German Salvatorian in the 1930’s, Fr. Pascalis Schmid, worked to establish and to spread worldwide a devotion known as “Priest’s Day.” On the fi rst Thursday or fi rst Saturday of each month, faithful Catholics were encouraged to pray for God to sustain their priests in holiness and apostolic zeal. Here we read Fr. Stephen Horn’s article about Fr. Pachalis Schmid and the Priest’s Day movement. Schmid was trying to show the people of his time the day-to-day prayer life and ministry life of the priest. He attempted to answer the still often-asked question, “What does a priest do all day?” by outlining many of the works and activities of the priest that were not always publically seen. Besides the preparation for and ministry of praying Mass daily, there was also the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, visits to the sick and dying, the hospitalized and homebound and sharing the Eucharist with them, sacramental preparation sessions, administration of the parish, work with the children in his care, and general visits to the homes of his parish members. Schmid wanted the people of the Church to feel personally involved in the ministries of their priests by their prayer and refl ection. vii Seeing a latent artistic talent in the shoemaker brother, Br. Aegidius Roeder, Fr. Jordan sent him to art school and immediately thereafter enlisted him to illustrate the many Salvatorian publications. Although Br. Aegidius died in the late 1920’s, the USA Salvatorian priest-editor, Fr. Winfrid Herbst, undertook a posthumous collaboration with Br. Aegidius, using his illustrations and supplementing them with his own spiritual refl ections. These too are published here for the fi rst time. In this work, we see “priesthood” in a unique way: through the eyes of a Salvatorian Brother, and all of it expressed without using his own words. He saw the work, the spirituality, and the dedication of the priests around him in the community, and he conveyed what he saw in his art. Herbst’s words may describe priestly ministry in the language of the 1930’s church, but Roeder’s art refl ects a timeless and wordless look into the life of the priests who try to draw a direct link between spiritual life and secular life for the people in their care. Some may wonder whether a volume dedicated to the priestly calling, especially one that recycles articles from long ago, has any but historical value today. After all, we live in an age that greatly values the contributions of religious sisters, brothers, deacons and the laity–an age when the priestly vocation is seen as just one of many ways in which to minister in the world. Nevertheless, the priestly vocation remains unique even today. So, this volume concludes with refl ections from several of today’s USA Salvatorian men and women on the ever-changing role of the priest. We asked them to look at the priesthood as they see it in the Church of the 21st Century and how all of us, as Salvatorian people in our Salvatorian places, can energize and empower entire parishes and other church communities in the work of the Church today.

A Legacy for Priests in Diffi cult Times God ennobled the week by adding Sunday and turning it into the Lord’s Day. God also enriched all other human dwellings by instituting churches to be the house of the Lord, and added to the secular songs of concert halls psalms to be sung to God. That very same God has added priests to the various classes of people to be the anointed of the Lord. Yes, it is true that the priest is dust from the earth, born from the dust like all the children of Adam. But a priest, as dust in the Savior’s hand, is meant to open the eyes of the blind. A priest is the hem on the Savior’s garment so that the healing power of God may fl ow out to those seeking healing. Cardinal Faulhaber, Zeitfragen 3 Place holder text. Introduction to the English Edition In October 1878, Fr. Bernard Lüthen (known in religious life as Bonaventura) moved from the castle in Wewer to Donauwörth, Bavaria to assist the work of Ludwig Auer’s Cassineum. There he was assigned to edit Ambrosius, which he subtitled For Directors of Christian Mother’s Associations and Pastors. The fi rst issue to appear under his direction was on November 1, 1877. In 1939, in the book you have before you, Consecrated to the Lord. A Legacy for Priests in Diffi cult Times, Salvatorian Father Wilibrord Menke, SDS, selected and reprinted 24 articles which Fr. Lüthen addressed to priests in Ambrosius between 1878 and 1881. The overarching theme is the crucial importance for priests to be holy. They must have hearts like Christ’s Sacred Heart; and like Jesus, the Divine Friend of Children, they too must be zealous in their outreach to youth.

  • The Divine Office
    THE DIVINE OFFICE BRO. EMMANUEL NUGENT, 0. P. PIRITUAL life must be supplied by spiritual energy. An efficient source of spiritual energy is prayer. From Holy Scripture we learn that we should pray always. li In general, this signifies that whatever we do should be done for the honor and glory of God. In a more restricted sense, it requires that each day be so divided that at stated in­ tervals we offer to God acts of prayer. From a very early period it has been the custom of the Church, following rather closely the custom that prevailed among the Chosen People, and later among the Apostles and early Christians, to arrange the time for her public or official prayer as follows: Matins and Lauds (during the night), Prime (6 A.M.), Tierce (9 A.M.), Sext (12M.), None (3 P.M.), Vespers (6 .P. M.), Compline (nightfall). The Christian day is thus sanc­ tified and regulated and conformed to the verses of the Royal Psalmist: "I arose at midnight to give praise to Thee" (Matins), "Seven times a day have I given praise to Thee"1 (Lauds and the remaining hours). Each of the above divisions of the Divine Office is called, in liturgical language, an hour, conforming to the Roman and Jewish third, sixth, and ninth hour, etc. It is from this division of the day that the names are given to the various groups of prayers or hours recited daily by the priest when he reads his breviary. It is from the same source that has come the name of the service known to the laity as Sunday Vespers, and which constitutes only a portion of the Divine Office for that day.

  • Mary and Pentecost
    Fr. Roger J. Landry Holy Family Parish, East Taunton, MA Novena to the Immaculate Conception December 4, 2014 Living the Mystery of Pentecost in Mary’s School • Scriptural Passage o A reading from the Acts of the Apostles: “While meeting with the apostles, Jesus enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for ‘the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.” When they had gathered together they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. They returned to Jerusalem. When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • A Commentary on Jerome's Contra Vigilantium by Amy
    A COMMENTARY ON JEROME’S CONTRA VIGILANTIUM BY AMY HYE OH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Philology with a concentration in Medieval Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Danuta Shanzer Professor Ralph Mathisen Professor Jon Solomon Professor Stephan Heilan, University of Osnabrück ABSTRACT Innkeepers inspired this dissertation. After working on ‘innkeepers’ as a topic for a research seminar paper, I soon discovered that the term caupo counted as an insult according to several church fathers, including Jerome. In the Contra Vigilantium, Jerome mocked his enemy, Vigilantius, by calling him a caupo who mixed water with wine; I wondered whether the title was true and the insult was deserved. What remained was to figure out who this man was and why he mattered. The dissertation is comprised of four parts: introductory chapters, a text with an en face translation, a philological/historical commentary, and appendices. The first chapter introduces Vigilantius, discusses why a commentary of the Contra Vigilantium is needed, and provides a biography, supported by literary and historical evidence in response to the bolder and more fanciful account of W.S. Gilly.1 The second chapter treats Vigilantius as an exegete. From a sample of his exegesis preserved in Jerome’s Ep. 61, I determine that Jerome dismissed Vigilantius’ exegesis because he wanted to protect his own orthodoxy. The third chapter situates Vigilantius in the debate on relic worship. His position is valuable because he opposed most of his contemporaries, decrying relics instead of supporting their translation and veneration.

  • The Office of Tenebrae
    The Office of Tenebrae G. Dore, The Darkness at the Crucifixion, 1867 The Third Nocturn of Tenebrae & The Office of Lauds Wednesday in Holy Week April 8, 2020 Concerning Tenebrae Tenebrae is a service of evening prayer for Holy Week. Originally observed on the three days before Easter Sunday, Tenebrae is now celebrated at various times during Holy Week. Unlike other services this week, Tenebrae does not commemorate a specific event in the final days of Christ. Rather, through the use of Psalms, canticles, lessons, and the ceremonial extinguishing of candles on the hearse (a 15-candle candelabra). Tenebrae invites us to enter more deeply into the contemplation of Christ’s final days, his abandonment, his suffering, his death, and, ultimately, his resurrection. Through Tenebrae, we are given an opportunity to meditate on the truth that Jesus truly was Emmanuel, “God with us,” and that like us, Jesus faced the same emotional challenges that can bring us down. In the words of the wonderful Christmas hymn, “...tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness.” The great message of Tenebrae is that though the darkness of sin may appear victorious, the light of Christ cannot be extinguished. Liturgical Ministers The Reverend James M.L. Grace, Rector The Reverend Bradley Varnell, Curate The Reverend Canon Joann Saylors, Canon for Mission Amplification John Kirk, Director of Music & Organist Megan Parks, Cantor 2 On this day the Ministers enter in silence. Psalm 54 Deus, in nominee The psalm will be chanted by the cantor.

We recalled how when we were kids the excite- ment was tremendously heightened at this time of year. Maybe we are just getting old we said to ourselves ... this was the conclusion we arrived at! Have we really be- come “hardened, cynical, and suspicious” as the years past or have we just come to accept that ole cultural saying, “Christmas is for kids.” As we crossed over the Orange Freeway at Imperial Highway, we glanced at the shimmering of the car lights ... there was so much traffic. As we drove on, we too confronted a back-up ... then suddenly, almost like an “unexpected” miracle, we both turned to each other said, it is Christmas! We both felt the excitement of the holidays rekindled by merely noticing all cars and people that were “out and about” when normally the freeway and roads were not impacted.
