Como podéis observar, presenta algunas novedades en cuanto a la presen- tación, fruto de la aportación de nuestro nuevo director de comunicación. Esperamos que os guste. Sabemos que en algunas provincias elaboráis vuestros propios calendarios, pero creemos que sería un buen signo de comunión leer, al menos, las fies- tas y aniversarios de los hermanos de todas las provincias. Al fomentar el conocimiento de los hermanos de otras provincias crecemos todos en el sen- timiento de fraternidad tan propio de nuestro carisma. Respecto a las motivaciones de los días, hemos seguido el siguiente esquema: Todos los domingos Reflexiones sobre el evangelio de cada día, fundamentalmente de José An- tonio Pagola, pero también de otros autores como Marcos Rodríguez, José Castillo, Enrique Martínez Lozano y Patxi Loidi. Como siempre agrade- cemos a todos ellos sus aportaciones, que enriquecen nuestra reflexión y animan nuestra oración. Todos los sábados Continuamos con las Constituciones Maristas. Leerlas, al menos una vez al año, nos ayudará a reforzar nuestra identidad como Maristas. De lunes a viernes Proponemos dos documentos institucionales para nuestras motivaciones diarias: “Evangelizadores entre los jóvenes”, documento marista de recien- te publicación y que ocupa gran parte del año y pasajes de la Carta Encíclica Evangelii Gaudium, del Papa Francisco.

  • Peter of Atroa (773–837) Basil the Great (329–79)
    JANUARY 1 Peter of Atroa (773–837) EMinistry under duress Ephesus is a popular archaeological site on the western coast of today’s Turkey. The apostle Paul established a Christian congregation there on his first missionary journey, remaining there three years, ministering to first-generation Christians. About seven hundred years later, Peter of Atroa was born to Christian parents in the neighborhood of Ephesus. Peter had natural spiritual interests, and at eighteen, he became a monk, and a few years later, an ordained priest. As he began a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, a mystical vision turned him and his companion aside with the inspiration to build a monastery. A strong work resulted and Peter became the monastery’s leader at the age of thirty-two. People sought him because of his reputation as a healer and because of his sensitive spirit. The early ninth century was a difficult time for Christians in that part of the world. Persecution increased with each passing year, and Peter worked fervently to protect his monks from harm. He died on the first day of January, 837, in the chapel choir, while his brother monks sang around him. JANUARY 2 Basil the Great (329–79) EClear thinking Popular heresy has always been a threat to basic Christian doctrine. It was rampant in the early centuries, and one attractively 1 Butler’s Lives of Saints expressed teaching was Arianism. The controversy began in Alexandria, in about 320, as a dispute between Arius and his bishop. Arius thought that Christ was neither fully God nor fully human, but something in between.

    Genoveva Torres Morales, Santa Catholic.net Fundadora Martirologio Romano: En Zaragoza, en España, santa Genoveva Torres Morales, virgen, que desde joven experimentó las contrariedades de la vida y soportó la enfermedad que le aquejaba. Fundó el Instituto de las Hermanas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y de los Ángeles, para ayudar a la mujeres (1956). Fecha de canonización: 4 de mayo de 2003 por el Papa Juan Pablo II en la Plaza de Colón, Madrid, España. Breve Biografía Nacida en Almenara (Castellón) a finales del siglo XIX, en el seno de una familia humilde, con ocho años ha perdido a sus padres y a cuatro de sus cinco hermanos. A los 13 años sufre la amputación de la pierna izquierda a la altura del muslo, en una operación sin anestesia. A punto de morir, Genoveva sobrevivirá para convertirse en una mujer fuerte, valiente, animosa, capaz de sufrir sin queja, amorosa, humilde, sencilla… Con quince años ingresa en la “casa de Misericordia” de Valencia, donde las Carmelitas de la Caridad cuidarán de ella. Diez años de su vida pasará con estas religiosas, tiempo durante el que profundizará su formación espiritual y su relación con Dios, hasta el punto de solicitar su ingreso en la Congregación. Ante la negativa, motivada por su imposibilidad física, Genoveva irá descubriendo el camino que Dios le tiene reservado: la fundación de una congregación que atienda, con amor, a mujeres solitarias, afligidas, dando sentido a su vida y estimulando su práctica religiosa. En 1911 se inaugura en Valencia la primera residencia de la Asociación que recibirá el nombre de Sociedad Angélica del Sagrado Corazón, siendo el definitivo Hermanas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y de los Santos Ángeles.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.
