Chosen items from the journals, Romana and Studia et Documenta, might also be read. There is much available – some originally from Crónica and Obras (the latter no longer published as of 2019) – in translation on the Opus Dei UK website. It may help some to advise reading articles and e-books from there, either electronically or printed out on paper. Among these, the translated 5 articles on ‘New Mediterraneans’ are quite outstanding, referring as they do to the prayer-life of St. Josemaría.

  • Villa Tevere: Origen Y Primera Historia De La Sede Central Del Opus
    Orígenes y primera historia de Villa Tevere. Los edificios de la sede central del Opus Dei en Roma (1947-1960) AlFREDO MÉNDIZ Abstract: La sede central del Opus Dei, Villa Tevere, situada en la zona norte de Roma, fue adquirida en 1947 . Su dueño anterior, Mario Gori Mazzoleni, había construido el edificio principal de la finca entre 1928 y 1931 y lo había alquilado en 1936 a la Legación de Hungría ante la Santa Sede . La plena ocupación del inmueble solo fue posible tras dos años de negociaciones ‒no siempre distendidas‒ con la burocracia del nuevo estado húngaro nacido de la guerra, que deseaba seguir usándolo . En 1949 comenzaron los trabajos de adaptación de la finca, paralelos a la urbanización de esa zona de Roma y a la primera expansión internacional del Opus Dei . Keywords: Opus Dei −Villa Tevere −Villa Sacchetti − Mario Gori Mazzoleni − Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer − Álvaro del Portillo − Fernando Delapuente − Jesús Álvarez Gazapo − Roma − Hungría − 1947-1960 The Origins and the Early History of Villa Tevere . The buildings of the central house of Opus Dei in Rome (1947-1960): The central house of Opus Dei, known as Villa Tevere and situated then in the northern area of Rome, was acquired in 1947 . Its previous owner, Mario Gori Mazzoleni, had con- structed the principal building on the site between 1928 and 1931, and had rented it out in 1936 to the Legation of Hungary to the Holy See . Full occupa- tion of the premises was to be possible only after two years of negotiations – by no means always easy – with officials of the new Hungarian State born out of World War II who sought to continue using it .

SECULARISM AS A FALSIFICATION OF HOPE The interventions of the Pontifical magisterium at the beginning of the third millennium are characterized, among other things, by an insistent and ever more explicit appeal to Christian hope. In the Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Europa the very structure of the document is built on the consideration of the present and the future of Europe from the perspective of that theological virtue. One of the passages that the Post-Synodal Exhortation dedicates to the diagnosis of the cultural and sociological situation of the old continent—which is indeed perfectly transferable to other geographic and human areas—describes with intense flourishes some of the symptoms of a marked “dimming of hope”: “by a kind of practical agnosticism and religious indifference whereby many Europeans give the impression of living without spiritual roots—somewhat like heirs who have squandered a patrimony entrusted to them by history. Many people are no longer able to integrate the Gospel message into their daily experience; living one's faith in Jesus becomes increasingly difficult in a social and cultural setting in which that faith is constantly challenged and threatened. In many social settings it is easier to identify oneself as an agnostic than as a believer.

    MIGUEL PINTO GRILO O Matrimónio, Caminho de Santificação Estudo ético-teológico do pensamento de Karol Wojtyła / João Paulo II Dissertação final Sob orientação de: Prof. Doutor Jorge Teixeira da Cunha Porto 2014 2 PRÉ-SACRAMENTO1 Quem é Ele? O Indizível. A Existência autónoma. O Único. O Criador de tudo. Ao mesmo tempo, uma Comunhão de Pessoas. Nesta Comunhão, uma entrega recíproca da plenitude de verdade, bondade e beleza. Apesar de tudo isto, antes de mais nada – o Indizível. E, todavia, falou-nos de Si. Falou, também, criando o homem à Sua imagem e semelhança. Na policromia sistina, o Criador tem as aparências de um ser humano. É o ancião Omnipotente – um Homem, semelhante ao Adão que Ele cria. E eles? «Ele os criou homem e mulher.» Por graça de Deus receberam um dom. Assumiram em si – na dimensão humana – aquela mútua doação que existe nele. Ambos nus… Não sentiam vergonha, enquanto permanecia este dom – A vergonha sobrevirá com o pecado, mas agora continua o encantamento. Vivem conscientes do dom, embora não saibam exprimi-lo. Mas vivem disto. São puros. Casta placenta superis; pura cum veste venite, Et manibus puris sumite fontis aquam2 – li estas palavras todos os dias, durante oito anos, ao passar o portão da escola de Wadowice. O Pré-sacramento – ser apenas sinal visível de perene Amor. E quando se tornam «um só corpo» – ó admirável união – no horizonte deste conúbio desabrocham a paternidade e a maternidade. – É então que atingem as fontes da vida, que neles se encontram. – Remontam ao Princípio. – Adão conheceu a mulher e ela concebeu e deu à luz.

  • Official Communique 13
    Official Communique 13 Presentation of the decree of the CCCB on the application of the norms of Misericordia Dei My dear fellow priests, It is five years now since I presented to you the letter Misericordia Dei of Pope John Paul II, and provided you with some guidelines for the practice of the ministry of reconciliation while reserving the right to return to the subject once the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments had confirmed the decree that the CCCB intended to put before it. Some revisions and several meetings between the representatives of the CCCB and the Holy See were necessary before the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops received from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments the recognitio requested following a vote by more than a two- thirds majority of the members of the Conference. It was actually on January 18th last that the Conference received the confirmation of its decree. You will find as an appendix the text of the decree in French and English. This decree of the Conference confirms the exceptional character of general absolution and specifies the conditions for it even more precisely. You will realize that the necessary conditions do not obtain in our diocese to enable me to authorize recourse to this third form of the sacrament of penance. In this respect, nothing has changed in what I said to you in my letter of February 9th, 2005 in which I informed you of my decision to give no further approval to the adoption of general absolution.

  • PRESENTATION of the COMMUNIQUÉS of the GENERAL CHAPTER 1. from January
    [Translated from Original Spanish] Thy Kingdom Come! PRESENTATION OF THE COMMUNIQUÉS OF THE GENERAL CHAPTER 1. From January 8th through February 25th, 2014, the Extraordinary General Chapter of the Legion of Christ took place in Rome. His Eminence, Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, CS, and his two counselors, Fr. Gianfranco Ghirlanda, SJ, and Fr. Agostino Montan, CSI, presided. Sixty- one chapter fathers participated, 19 ex officio and 42 elected by the nine territories of the congregation and the centers of Rome. 2. This Extraordinary General Chapter marks the end of the journey of in-depth revision that the congregation has travelled since the apostolic visitation, which took place during 2009- 2010, and the naming of a Pontifical Delegate in the summer of 2010. Our principal tasks in the Chapter, as Pope Benedict XVI1 indicated and as Pope Francis confirmed2, were to revise the Constitutions and to elect a new central government for the congregation. 3. In the first days, in light of the reports that the Pontifical Delegate and the pro-General Director submitted, we focused on analyzing the life of the Congregation since the ordinary General Chapter that took place in 2005. One of the outcomes of the intense exchange of ideas that took place in those days was the communiqué that the Chapter approved on January 20th, 2014, about the journey of renewal of the Congregation. This same day, the elections of the new central government took place. Once the election had been confirmed and the Holy See made the two nominations that it had reserved to itself, the elections of Fr.

  • ECHO of MARY Queen of Peace 156
    ECHO ECHO OF MARY Queen of peace 156 March-April 2001 - Info Our Lady's message of 25 January 2001: Dear Children, Today I invite you to renew prayer and fasting with even more enthusiasm, until prayer becomes joy for you. My Children, the one who prays does not fear for the future, and the one who fasts does not fear evil. I say to you once again: it is only with prayer and fasts that even wars can be stopped - the wars of your unbelief and of your fear for the future. I am with you, and I teach you, my Children, that in God lies your peace and your hope. So come close to God and give Him first place in your lives. Thank you for responding to my call. In God is peace and hope Our faith is based on God's love for us. God loves each of us. Humanly speaking, His love is incredible. It flows through the passion and death of Jesus Christ. Believing in God's love is the indispensable premise to our response of love. We must believe that in God is our peace; we must place our hope in Him. We must come close to God and give Him first place in our lives. This is what Mary teaches; this is the essence of her every message. Living our faith is acknowledging the lordship of God's love and responding to this love with love that involves all our faculties, and which cancels the distance between us and the others (cf.
