These familiar words spoken first by St. John the Baptist are beautiful words that can be prayer- fully meditated upon and lived throughout our lives. When John had first spoken these words, the “Lamb of God” was seen in a very ordinary way. The eyes of all present saw only an ordinary man approaching the scene. However, the eyes of faith saw something more. John saw the ONE who would give His life for the salvation of the world as the Sacrificial Lamb, and seeing Him, he pro- claims in affirmation, by giving witness to the One whose fullness everyone has received grace upon grace, “Behold the Lamb of God!” In Jesus, John found the meaning of his own vocation, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. In our daily liturgical celebrations, the same words are uttered each time the Sacred Host is held up for all to see. We see Jesus, the Sacrificial Lamb, in an even more veiled way. We see with our eyes, a piece of bread. But with the eyes of faith, we behold our Savior, seeing His glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.

We are reliving in our hearts yesterday's solemn liturgical celebration which saw seven new Blesseds raised to the glory of the altars. I address warm greetings to all of you, dear pilgrims gathered in Rome for this happy event. Above all, I would like to share with you and to entrust to the Lord the anxiety and concern that has been stirred up within us by this sensitive moment in international relations. The family atmosphere of today's meeting gives us an opportunity to thank the Lord together for the new Blesseds and to reflect once again on their Gospel witness and the rich spiritual inheritance they have bequeathed to us. 2. Welcome, dear pilgrims who have come to Rome to take part in the beatification of Archbishop Ignatius Maloyan. I greet all the Bishops of the Armenian Catholic Church who have come here as well as the representatives of the civil authorities of Armenia. In particular, I extend a greeting to the young people, asking the Lord to make them courageous Gospel witnesses. During my recent visit to Armenia, I could gauge the attachment to the Christian faith testified by so many episodes of its history! This is borne out by the beautiful testimony left by Bl.

  • Pope Francis Canonizes Seven New Saints
    Pope Francis canonizes seven new saints An estimated 80,000 people attended the canonization Mass at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City October 17, 2016 The seven new saints of the church were holy not because of their own efforts but because of "the Lord who triumphs in them and with them," Pope Francis said, reported Catholic News Service. Each one "struggled to the very end with all their strength," which they received through perseverance and prayer, the pope said Oct. 16 at a canonization Mass in St. Peter's Square. "They remained firm in faith, with a generous and steadfast heart. Through their example and their intercession, may God also enable us to be men and women of prayer," the pope told the estimated 80,000 people present at the Mass. Seven large tapestries bearing the portraits of the new saints decorated the facade of St. Peter's Basilica, some representing specific aspects of their lives that exemplified their holiness. Argentine "gaucho priest," St. Jose Gabriel del Rosario Brochero was portrayed sitting on a donkey, his humble means of transportation when traveling thousands of miles to minister to the poor and the sick. St. Jose Sanchez del Rio, a 14-year-old Mexican boy martyred for refusing to renounce his faith during the Cristero War of the 1920s, was depicted holding a palm branch and rosary while a trail of blood and a single bullet were at his feet. St. Salomone Leclerq, who was killed after refusing to renounce his faith at the height of the French Revolution, was shown with his eyes fixed toward heaven as an angel carried a palm, symbolizing his martyrdom for the faith.

    October 27, 2016 catholic new york • honoring our Jubilarians 17 Sisters of St. John the Baptist Celebrate St. Alfonso’s Sainthood by Dan PIETRAFESA he Sisters of St. John the Baptist celebrated the canonization of their founder, St. Alfonso Maria Fusco, by Pope Francis at the Vatican on Oct. 16 and are now preparing for a celebration in New York in March 2017. T“We’ve begun the planning, but some of the sisters on the committee were in Rome” for the canonization, said Sister Mary Crucifix Pandullo, C.S.JB., director for the Staten Island Regional Catechetical Office. Watching the canonization on television “was wonder- ful,” she said. “It was like being there and sharing the mo- ment. I saw some of our sisters there in the crowd. It was really an unbelievable grace. We’ve been praying for this. This is a great gift to the Church as well.’’ St. Alfonso was one of seven people—six men and one woman—canonized in front of 80,000 people from around the world by the Holy Father. Sister Claudette Jaszczynski, C.S.JB., provincial superior for the Sisters of St. John the Baptist’s American Province which covers New York and New Jersey, was one of the sisters from the United States in St. Peter’s Square for the canonization. “To be present at this canonization was a great grace and gift for me as I witnessed the Church’s recognition and its proclamation that these seven holy men and woman have lived lives in accord with the Gospel,” said Sister Clau- dette in an email from the “shadows of the Vatican wall!” “What I will remember the most is I was part of the Baptistine global family that gathered here in St.
