  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE PILGRIMS WHO HAD COME FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF EIGHT SERVANTS OF GOD Monday, 5 November 2001 Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and Priesthood, Dear Men and Women Religious, Brothers and Sisters in Christ! 1. Yesterday, three days after the Solemnity of All Saints, on which we gave thanks to God for the wonderful works he performed in many of our brothers and sisters who have gone before us on the road to holiness, the Church continues to rejoice over the proclamation of eight new Blesseds. At this morning's meeting, we had a chance to learn from the teaching and example of charity that they have given us. All of this has to impel us to find the confidence and courage to continue on the demanding and exalting road to holiness, the "high standard of ordinary Christian living" (Novo millennio ineunte, n. 31). 2. My warm welcome goes firstly to you, dear pilgrims of Slovakia, who rejoice for the Beatification of Pavel Peter Gojdic and Methodius Dominic Trcka. Following the evangelical spirit and the apostolic zeal of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Apostles of the Slavs, these two new Blesseds are extraordinary for their love of Christ, service to their neighbour, and fidelity to the Chair of Peter. For his episcopal ministry, the blessed Pavel Peter Gojdic chose the motto "God is love, let us love him!", which he translated into a strong devotion for the Eucharist and the Sacred Heart. He nourished a deep love for the Mother of God, especially towards the image of Our Lady of Klokov, which he kept in the chapel of his residence.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries. We applaud the president’s actions as consistent with the family values guiding our country.” Angie Reyes, a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Indianapolis, rejoiced during a watch party hosted by the Indianapolis As part of the entertainment at the Intercultural Ministry Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 at the Archbishop Edward T.

  • Bibliografia Pio X
    PER UNA BIBLIOGRAFIA NUOVA SU PIO X A cura di Quirino Bortolato L'allestimento di una Mostra Itinerante su Pio X e la pubblicazione del relativo catalogo hanno riproposto, nell'ormai lontano 1986, il problema di una migliore conoscenza della bibliografia riguardante Giuseppe Sarto, papa Pio X, santo della Chiesa Universale. Se è vero che copiose bibliografie si trovano in appendice a diversi volumi (Facchinetti, Postulazione della Causa, Michel Fontbel, Fernessole, Traglia, Gerolamo Dal Gal, Severo Dalle Fratte, Vervoort, Gianpaolo Romanato, ecc.), è altrettanto vero che i titoli delle pubblicazioni sono diventati ormai così numerosi (hanno superato di gran lunga il migliaio), che si rendono necessari nuovi studi bibliografici, nuove ricerche e nuovi elenchi, per una sistemazione più razionale del materiale accumulatosi su Pio X, ma anche di quello di Pio X. Notevole infatti, e non sempre nota, è la produzione del Sarto durante i vari novenni che hanno scandito la sua vita: se sono molti coloro che conoscono il Sarto catechista, pochi sono quelli che conoscono il Sarto compositore di musiche sacre, ma credo siano pochissimi coloro che conoscono, tra l'altro, il Sarto oratore, il Sarto storico del proprio paese e il Sarto cultore di argomenti scientifici. Si aggiunga che risulta ancora inesplorata o non pubblicata una discreta quantità di documenti manoscritti, conservati presso vari archivi e biblioteche. Di più esiste, ed è di primaria importanza, anche il problema della validità scientifica delle opere riguardanti Pio X: accanto a contributi di notevole interesse ed originalità, si sono accumulati interventi non sempre informati alla verità storica e scritti riportanti fonti non del tutto sicure.

  • TBD a South African Convert and Martyr, Benedict Was Born Into the Lemba Tribe and Converted to the Faith in 1963
    Blessed Benedict Daswa (1946-1990) South Africa, Feast Day: TBD A South African convert and martyr, Benedict was born into the Lemba tribe and converted to the Faith in 1963. He served as a teacher and catechist, helped build the first church in the area and was later named principal of the local Catholic school. He was murdered by a mob of villagers when he refused to take part in witchcraft rituals. Daswa was beatified Sept. 13, 2015, at Thohoyandou Stadium, Limpopo, South Africa. Pray for those who convert to the Catholic Faith Blessed Óscar Romero (1917-1980) Latin America, Feast Day: TBD Archbishop of San Salvador from 1977 until his murder, Romero was a prominent voice for human rights during the bloody period of political strife in El Salvador. He was shot dead while celebrating Mass at the small chapel of the cancer hospital where he lived. Pope Francis declared him a martyr in 2015. Pray for modern day martyrs Blessed Pope Paul VI (r. 1963-1978) Italy, Feast Day: TBD Paul brought the Second Vatican Council to a conclusion and then devoted his remaining years to guiding the Church in the difficult years that followed. His writings, especially Humanae Vitae that defended the Church’s teachings on contraception, and Populorum Progressio on Catholic Social Teaching, proved powerfully prophetic in anticipating problems of a contraceptive culture, globalization and ideological colonization.
