  • ALPHONSUS LIGUORI Preacher of the God of Loveliness
    245 Traditions of Spiritual Guidance ALPHONSUS LIGUORI Preacher of the God of Loveliness By TERRENCE J. MORAN NE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS in the study of O spirituality since the Second Vatican Council has been the attention paid to the spiritual experience of the ordinary Christian. Latin American liberation theologies value the reflections on Scripture of the basic ecclesial communi- ties as a genuine source of spiritual tradition. Increasingly scholars of spiritu- ality are aware of the need to correct, or at least to amplify, the traditional 'schools of spirituality' by considering how these traditions actually influ- enced the life of the ordinary believer. I Often the very perspective that a school of spirituality considers as most characteristic has had the least influence on the life of the ordinary believer; the perspective or practice that the school considers more marginal by contrast has had a formative effect on Christian life and piety. While the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola are the defining text of Jesuit spirituality, the Society of Jesus has had far more influence on the life of the ordinary Catholic through propagation of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Order of Preachers, the Dominicans, has had the greatest direct influence on Catholic life not through the magisterial theology of Thomas Aquinas, but through preaching of the rosary. Few ordinary Catholics would have much familiarity with the content of the spirituality of Teresa of Avila or John of the Cross, but the Carmelite tradition touched countless Catholics until very recently through the Brown Scapular. When the history of spirituality is studied not from the perspective of schools and classic texts but from the perspective of the religious experience of the ordinary Roman Catholic, there is scarcely a more influential figure in • modem Catholicism than St Alphonsus Liguori.

  • SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGUORI CATHOLIC CHURCH STATIONS of the CROSS
    SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGUORI CATHOLIC CHURCH STATIONS of the CROSS Why do we pray the Stations of the Cross? The Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) is a devotion, particularly appropriate during Lent, by which we meditate upon the final earthly journey of Christ. Jerusalem is the city of the historical Way of the Cross. In the Middle Ages the attraction of the holy places of the Lord's Passion caused some pilgrims to reproduce them in their own city. There is also an historical devotion to the “dolorous journey of Christ” which consisted of journeying from one church to another in memory of Christ's Passion. This last stage of Christ's journey is unspeakably hard and painful, but He completed it out of love for the Father and for humanity. As we pray the Stations of the Cross, we are reminded of our own journey towards heaven. We may also meditate upon the demands of following Christ, which include carrying our own “crosses.” Adapted from Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy #131-133 What is a Plenary Indulgence? The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines an indulgence as “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven...” Obtaining an indulgence requires prescribed conditions (i.e. being in a state of grace) and prescribed works (see below). "An indulgence is partial or plenary as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin." We can gain indulgences for ourselves or for the dead. CCC #1471 “To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions [within several days]: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See PRINCIPI APOSTOLORUM PETRO ENCYCLICAL OF POPE BENEDICT XV ON ST. EPHREM THE SYRIAN TO THE PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER ORDINARIES IN PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE. Venerable Brothers, Greetings and The Apostolic Benediction. 1. To Peter the Prince of the Apostles, the divine Founder of the Church allotted the gifts of inerrancy [1] in matters of faith and of union with God. This relationship is similar to that of a "Choir Director of the Choir of the Apostles."[2] He is the common teacher and rector [3] of all, so that he might feed the flock of Him who established His Church [4] on the authority of Peter himself and his successors. And on this mystical rock the foundation [6] of the entire ecclesiastical structure stands firm as on a hinge. From it rises the unity of Christian charity as well as our Christian faith. 2. Indeed the unique gift of Peter's primacy is that he might spread everywhere and preserve the riches of charity and faith, as Ignatius Theophorus, a man of Apostolic times, beautifully declared. For in those noble letters he wrote to the Roman Church on his journey, announcing his arrival in Rome to be martyred for Christ, he gave testimony to the primacy of that Church over all others by calling it 'presiding officer over the universal community of charity."[7] This was to signify not only that the Universal Church was the visible image of divine charity, but also that Blessed Peter, together with his primacy and his love for Christ (affirmed by his triple confession), remains heir of the Roman See.

  • The Act of Spiritual Communion by St. Alphonsus Liguori Prayer Cards Pope Francis's Prayer to Mary During Coronavirus Pandemic
    The Act of Spiritual Communion by St. Alphonsus Liguori My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. Prayer Cards In this time of need, Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, president of the USCCB invites the faithful to seek together the maternal intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Below are prayer cards for download. http://www.usccb.org/about/communications/upload/prayer-coronavirus-2020- card.pdf Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary during Coronavirus Pandemic Pope Francis composes a prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick, to implore her protection during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Translation courtesy of Vatican News. O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection.

Only one with his profound knowledge of the saint could succeed in outlining his life and special brand of spirituality with such brevity and perception. John Bosco had been well acquainted with St Francis of Sales long before his priestly ordination. Right from his seminary days at Chieri, he had looked to Francis de Sales and Charles Borromeo as his special champions; furthermore, St Francis (together with St Aloysius) were recommended as specific models for all the clerics.
