  • July 31St, 2016
    EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 31, 2016 Special Franciscan Feast and Indulgence on August 2 The Portiuncula (small portion) refers to the land in Assisi, Italy, that belonged to the Benedic- tines. On this land was an old church dedicated to the Virgin Mother of God but abandoned. On a night in July, 1216, Francis was praying in the little church of the Portiuncula devoured by love for God and a thirst to save souls. He prayed for the forgiveness of sins of mankind. St. Francis prayed to the Lord: "Lord, I a miserable sinner beg You to concede an indulgence to all those who enter this church, who are truly contrite and have confessed their sins. And I beg Blessed Mary, your Mother, in- tercessor of man, that she intercede on behalf of this grace." Our Lady at once began to beseech her Son on behalf of Francis. Jesus answered: "It is a very great thing that which you ask Me; but you are worthy of even greater things, Friar Francis, and greater things you will have. So I accept your request, but I want you to go to my Vicar, to whom I have given the power to bind and loose in Heaven and on earth, to ask him on my behalf for this indul- gence." Pope Honorius granted the indulgence which has been given to every Franciscan to celebrate on August 2. We are Bringing our Youth to the Mission at Carmel to receive the grace of this indulgence. St. Francis im- plores us in this feast: “O my Brothers and Sisters, I want you all to go to Heaven!" Pray for our Youth on August 2nd.

  • Pope Expresses Shock Over Violence in French Church
    Pope expresses shock over violence in French church By Cindy Wooden Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY – The murder of a priest in northern France, taken hostage with a handful of other faithful during a weekday morning Mass July 26, is another act of “absurd violence” added to too many stories of senseless violence and death, said the Vatican spokesman. Pope Francis was informed about the hostage situation at the church in Saint- Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen and the murder of 84-year-old Father Jacques Hamel, said Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman. “With pain and horror” for the “absurd violence,” Pope Francis expressed his condemnation of “every form of hatred” and offered his prayers for all those involved. “We are particularly stricken because this horrible violence occurred in a church – a sacred place in which the love of God is proclaimed – with the barbaric killing of a priest,” Father Lombardi said. Police said two men, armed with knives, entered the church during Mass. They reportedly slit the throat of Father Hamel. Apparently alerted by a member of the congregation who escaped, police killed both hostage-takers. They said another person present at the Mass was in serious condition at the hospital. Archbishop Dominique Lebrun of Rouen, who was in Krakow, Poland, with World Youth Day pilgrims when the attacked occurred, said he would return to his archdiocese. “The Catholic Church can take up no weapons other than those of prayer and brotherhood among people of good will,” the archbishop said in a statement from Krakow. He said that while he would leave Poland, hundreds of young people from his diocese would remain.

  • 1 Installation De Mgr Jacques Habert À La Cathédrale De Bayeux Lisieux
    Installation de Mgr Jacques Habert à la cathédrale de Bayeux Lisieux. Présentation par Mgr Dominique Lebrun, archevêque métropolitain de Rouen, Dimanche 10 janvier 2021. Frères et sœurs, le successeur des apôtres que vous accueillez, le désormais pasteur de votre Eglise n’est pas un inconnu pour beaucoup d’entre nous, bien sûr pas de Mgr le Nonce que je salue bien fraternellement et avec gratitude en notre nom à tous. Jacques Habert est un frère pour nous évêques –que je salue tout autant, en particulier le cardinal Philippe Barbarin et Mgr Jean-Claude Boulanger. Il est un frère fidèle et précieux dans la collaboration provinciale. Il aurait pu devenir le plus ancien … le voilà le dernier arrivé ! Merci Jacques de rajeunir ! Son enracinement familial à Saint-Malo, sa vie de jeune et de prêtre dans le diocèse de Créteil n’ont pas été un obstacle à son attachement au monde rural normand. Il l’aime profondément. La banlieue parisienne rend capable de s’adapter à des cultures variées, y compris au-delà de l’Europe, y compris entre le Perche et le bocage ... Cela est d’autant plus vrai que le Père Jacques Habert a exercé un ministère tout terrain, auprès des jeunes et en paroisse. « C’est un beau diocèse », dit-il souvent en parlant de celui de Sées. Cela ne devrait pas tarder pour celui de Bayeux Lisieux ! Les deux diocèses, les six diocèses de Normandie, deviennent d’ailleurs de plus en plus beaux, grâce aux échanges de dons qui ont courre depuis de longues années, et pas seulement grâce à la succession épiscopale.

Thompson was installed as the seventh archbishop of Indianapolis during a festive Mass celebrated in SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. But ties of the archdiocese to the broader Church and world during the installation of 56-year-old Archbishop Thompson— currently the youngest archbishop in the United States—were unmistakable. A French archbishop who serves as Pope Francis’ representative in the United States See related coverage presided over the on pages 2-4, 9-13. start of the liturgy. Leaders of diverse Christian traditions and other faith communities in central and southern Indiana, as well as civic leaders, greeted Archbishop Thompson during the Mass. And participating in it were scores of clergy and other faithful from the Archdiocese of Louisville, Ky., and the Diocese of Evansville, Ind., two local Churches that Archbishop Thompson has called home. These included many of Archbishop Thompson’s family and friends. This outreach to include more people in an ever widening circle of faith, hope and love was reflected in Archbishop Thompson’s homily in which he explored what he called the “Catholic both/and” as a “conviction” that contributes to his vision of his pastoral leadership of the Church in central and southern Indiana.

  • Joseph Cardijn and the Jocist Network at Vatican II by Stefan Robert Gigacz, LL.B., LL.M
    The Leaven in the Council: Joseph Cardijn and the Jocist Network at Vatican II By Stefan Robert Gigacz, LL.B., LL.M. (Legal Theory), DEA Canon Law. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Divinity 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the role and impact of Joseph Cardijn, founder of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne (Young Christian Workers) movement, and the jocist network of bishops and periti at the Second Vatican Council. It adopts a longue durée approach, locating Cardijn within a tradition of Catholic social thought and action that developed in the wake of Europe’s nineteenth century industrial and democratic revolutions. It highlights the influence of the Lamennais School, and Marc Sangnier’s Sillon movement as sources for his work. Secondly, it traces the influence of Cardijn, his theology and methods over the half century prior to the Council, particularly the well-known see-judge-act method, which formed part of his “Three Truths” Christian dialectic. It also documents the emergence of a global network of JOC and/or Specialised Catholic Action chaplains experienced in these methods, many of whom would become key conciliar actors. Thirdly, it examines the role at Vatican II played by Cardijn, the jocist-formed bishops and periti, as well as several lay leaders from the movement, who became lay auditors. It particularly examines Cardijn’s role in the Preparatory Commission on Lay Apostolate and its successor the conciliar Lay Apostolate Commission in the drafting of the Decree on Lay Apostolate, Apostolicam Actuositatem, and the Doctrinal Constitution Lumen Gentium, as well as the impact of his book, Laïcs en premières lignes, published in English as Laymen into Action.
