He is not children and mkde us brothers of His natural Son, by conferring someone whose only business with the sheep is that He is appointed grace on us. But without the Incarnation this dignity would have to guard them. They are so much a part of Him that He gives His lacked a basis in us, and would have been less perfect, because too life for them. high above us. Whence comes this intimacy? It is due to the assumption by the BY THE INCARNATION, however, we are all in truth embodied Word of God of our human nature, whereby we become truly one in the persons of God’s Son and have become His members. God looks upon us no longer as situated upon the low level proper to our own persons; He sees us in His Son, and His Son in us. He holds us substantially united to His Son, and kin to Him. That is what Jesus meant when He said: “My sheep are known to Me and know Me; just as I am known to My Father, and know Him” (John x, 14-15). Because of Christ our sonship is no longer a mere­ T ly adoptive sonship, since we receive it from God the Father not as strangers but as kinsfolk, as members of the only begotten Son, and can lay claim to it as a right.

Gomez, D.Min. Date completed: July 1988 Problem Most of the people living in Puerto Rico claim or are claimed to be Catholics by the Catholic leadership of the Island. Most of them have only a form of religion, having lost sight of the power of Christ's religion.

When I was a child and living in Puerto Rico, a long time ago that is, there were acerola bushes everywhere. You could find them on the side of the road, by pastures, en el monte, by the beach, and in peoples yards. They are called West Indian Cherries in English. Acerolas are sweet and tart as well. Acerola is a large, relatively fast growing bushy shrub or small tree (to 15 feet). Fruits are round to oblate, cherry-like but with 3 lobes. They are bright red (rarely yellow-orange) with thin skin, easily bruised. The pulp is juicy, acid to sub-acid occasionally nearly sweet, with a delicate flavor and apple notes. The fruit is very high in Vitamin C, up to 4,000 mg per 100 g fresh weight, but typically around 1,500 mg C. Green fruits have twice the Vitamin C level of mature fruits. Fruits develop to maturity in less than 25 days. Seeds typically three with fluted wings, forming a triangle. Many aspects of seed viability have not been studied.

  • Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 Election of Pope St. John Paul II
    Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 election of Pope St. John Paul II October 16, 1978: The first balcony appearance of newly-elected Pope John Paul II (CNS File Photo) Where were you on October 16, 1978? I was between classes at college in Philadelphia when word came through the hallways that white smoke had been seen coming from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. After three days of waiting, we finally had a new pope! I rushed to turn on my tiny black and white TV, and watched as the crowds grew in St. Peter’s Square while commentators speculated as to which Italian cardinal might become the 264th leader of the Roman Catholic Church. I will never forget the announcement in Latin that Cardinal Karol Jozef Wojtyla (1920-2005), at age 58, had been elected as the 263rd successor of St. Peter the Apostle. The news commentators were struggling to figure out who he was, from which country he came, and how to pronounce his name. You see, Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. Those reporting on the conclave from both the Catholic and secular press were all assuming that this new pontiff would also be Italian. Instead, the College of Cardinals elected the Archbishop of Krakow, Poland, who had served in that position since 1963 and who was named a cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1967. Ten interesting facts about the election of Pope John Paul II: 1. The Year of Three Popes: This was the second time in less than eight weeks that Catholics from around the world gathered in front of our televisions to learn the outcome of a papal election.

  • Bishop James E. Mcmanus Papers
    Bishop James E. McManus Papers Baltimore Province of the Redemptorists Archives 7509 Shore Road Brooklyn, New York 11209-2807 The scope of the papers of Bishop James E. McManus, C.Ss.R., a member of the Baltimore Province of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, encompasses letters, manuscripts (including memoirs), notebooks, articles, news clippings, photographs, and sound recordings dating from the early 1900s to as late as 1983, seven year after his death. The collection is especially important—however partial—for research on the history of the Catholic Church in Puerto Rico. The Province Archives is also in possession of Bishop McManus’ dissertation, a thesis completed in the School of Canon Law at the Catholic University of America, entitled “The Administration of Temporal Goods in Religious Institutes” (1937). The entirety of the collection is open to qualified researchers, with one exception related to an annulment case. Consultation of these materials will be at the discretion of the Province Archivist. Biography: James Edward McManus was born October 10, 1900, in Brooklyn, New York, to William and Elizabeth (neé O’Loughlin) McManus. Baptized in St. Thomas Aquinas Parish at 9th Street and 4th Avenue, his first communion and confirmation were made at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, whose parochial school he attended from 1906-1914, taught by Sisters of St. Joseph. In the fall of 1914, he attended Manual Training High School on 3rd Street and 7th Avenue in Brooklyn, but by Christmas his life took a different course. In January, he entered the Redemptorist high school at North East (1915-1921), did his novitiate at Ilchester, Maryland, and completed the theological course at Mt.
