ORG/STAY-INFORMED/PRINT- NEWSLETTER/ 2 8 WORLDCATHOLIC.US NEWS Fr. Mark’s Message IN OUR MIDST Dear Mission Friends, You may have heard this story before. “There was a famous monastery which had fallen on very hard times. Its many buildings used to be filled with young monks… Now a handful of old monks shuffled through the cloisters and praised their God with heavy hearts. On the edge of the monastery woods, an old rabbi had built a little hut. Now and then he would spend a little time there praying and fasting. For as long as he was there the monks would feel sustained by his prayerful presence. One day the abbot decided to visit the rabbi and to open his heart to him. So that’s what he did one day after the celebration of the Eucharist. The rabbi welcomed the abbot with arms outstretched. It was as though he had been waiting for this moment for some time. They sat for a while in silence in the presence of the book of Scriptures. Then the rabbi said: “You and your brothers are serving God with heavy hearts. You have come to ask a teaching of me. I will give you a teaching, but you can only repeat it once. After that, no one must ever say it aloud again.” The rabbi looked straight at the abbot and said, “The Messiah is among you.” For a while, all was silent. Then the rabbi said: “Now you must go.” The abbot left without a word and without ever looking back. The next morning the abbot gathered the monks together and said to them: “The rabbi said that one of us is the Messiah.” The monks were startled by this saying. “What could it mean? Is Brother John the Messiah? Or Father Matthew? Am I the Messiah?” They were all deeply puzzled by the rabbi’s teaching. But no one ever mentioned it again. As time went by, the monks began to treat one another with a very special reverence. There was a gentle wholehearted, human quality about them now which was hard to describe but easy to notice. They lived with one another as men who had finally found something. But they prayed the Scrip- tures together as men who were always looking for something. Occasional visitors found themselves deeply moved by the life of these monks. Before long, people were coming from far and wide to be nourished by the prayer life and witness of the monks, and young men were asking, once again, to become part of the community. In those days, the rabbi no longer walked in the woods. His hut had fallen into ruins. But somehow or other, the old monks who had taken his teaching to heart still felt sustained by his prayerful pres- ence. At a time when we are all affected by the pandemic, are we learning to live our life together as a family, as a parish, as a religious-missionary community with a “family spirit,” with more love, patience, and understanding, in a way that shows “the Messiah is indeed in our midst”? With deep gratitude for all your generous love for us and the Missions, ~Fr.

  • Conforti: Early Years and Priestly Formation
    Conforti: Early Years and Priestly Formation Guido Conforti was the eighth of ten children of Rinaldo Conforti and Antonia Adorni. He was born on March 30 1865 at Casalora di Ravadese, in the midst of a fertile land of Parma, Italy. All the educational efforts undertaken by his parents geared toward a specific goal, dreamed by his father: to have his son be the future administrator of the farm and its properties. Guido attended the school of the Christian Brothers in Parma, and he could have very well been a successful manager. On the way to school, Guido developed the habit to stop in prayer in front of a huge Crucifix in the Church of Peace. There was an intense conversation among the two of them: ‘I looked at Him, and He looked at me, and it seemed he was telling me many things’ used to retell later Guido Conforti when he became bishop. In that meeting with the Crucifix, Guido felt called to the priesthood. We can just imagine the opposition of his father Rinaldo when Guido shared the news of entering the local seminary. But through the support he found in his mother, and the strength he received from his daily dialogues with the Crucifix, Guido seemed very determined. While in the Seminary, Guido lived an austere life, detached from his natural family, for seldom he received visits from his parents. But he was also experiencing some nervous related illness. He would pass out for a few hours, and he seemed out of breath. This almost precluded his priesthood ordination.

  • One Fold and One Shepherd by Carinal.Angelo Roncalli February 17, 1957
    St. John XXIII when he was Cardinal Angelo Roncalli on Guido Maria Conforti: One Fold and One Shepherd By Carinal.Angelo Roncalli February 17, 1957 A lecture given by Angelo Carinal Roncalli, Patriarch of Venice (the future Pope John XXIII), at the Royal Theater of Parma (Italy), on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the death of the Servant of God, Guido Maria Conforti, founder of the Xaverian Missionaries. ad I to choose a motto to summarize what I am about to say, I’d like to express it with the words: HOne fold and one Shepherd. “ ” All the pages of the Gospel are sacred and sparkling: but some concern especially the souls which accept their most intimate significance, and reveal them to the entire world in a more vivid and piercing light. Take for instance, the following excerpt from the Tenth Chapter of St. John, when Jesus introduces Himself: “I am the door of the sheep… It is through the door that the shepherd enters… As soon as he shows himself, the sheep hear his voice… He calls them one by one, preceding them, and they follow him because they know his voice… I am the door. If anyone enter by me he shall be safe, and shall go in and out and shall find pastures. I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly… I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me… And other sheep I have that are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.” Such is the rapturous vision of St.

    PART TWO MISSION TESTIMONIES “Holiness is the most attractive face of the Church.” (Gaudete et Exsultate, 9) EXTRAORDINARY MISSIONARY MONTH OCTOBER 2019 Baptized and sent: the Church of Christ on mission in the world SAINT THÉRÈSE OF THE CHILD JESUS (1873-1897) hérèse Martin was born in Alençon, France, on January 2, 1873, Tto Louis Martin and Zélie Guérin, who were canonized together in 2015. After the death of her mother on August 28, 1877, Thérèse moved with her family to the city of Lisieux. Some extraordinary graces accompanied Thérèse’s human and spiritual maturation and allowed her to grow in her awareness of the infinite Mercy of God that is offered to every person. On the day of Pentecost in 1883, she had the unique grace of being healed from a serious illness; through the intercession of Our Lady of Victories. In 1884, she received her First Communion and at that time experienced the grace of intimate union with Christ. Thérèse had a great desire to follow her sisters, Pauline and Marie, into the Carmel of Lisieux to live a contemplative life. While on a pilgrimage to Italy, during an audience that Pope Leo XIII granted to the faithful of the Diocese of Lisieux, she boldly implored the Holy Father to obtain permission to enter Carmel at the age of fifteen. Having obtained his permission, Thérèse entered the monastery in 1888 and professed her vows on September 8, 1890. Her journey of holiness was strengthened by trusting God during mo- ments of great trial, to which she gave witness in her writings, letters, and prayers.

Dever, Hawaii’s former superintendent of MCatholic schools who held the job for a record-breaking 42 years serving under four bishops and five popes, died on Oct. 19 at Pohai Nani Care Center in Kaneohe after a lengthy illness. He was 14 days shy of his 86th birthday and a priest of the Diocese of Honolulu for 59 years. More than a school system administrator, Msgr.

He was also a spiritual director, a pastor, a Newman Club director, and chaplain and gardener for Oahu’s community of Carmelite nuns. His tenure rode the tide of major transitions in the church, through the momentous changes brought by the Second Vatican Council and the transformation of Hawaii’s Catholic School system from the responsibility of religious congregations to mostly that of lay educa- tors. In 1994, Hawaii’s Buddhists named him a “Living Treasure of Hawaii.” Daniel Joseph Dever was born on Nov.
