  • Venerating the Image of Divine Mercy on the Feast of Mercy
    Venerating the Image of Divine Mercy on the Feast of Mercy A look at the writings of Pope Benedict XVI Time has proven the correctness of the prophetic writings that Our Lord asked St. Faustina to record for humanity. The Church has recognized that the readings of Second Sunday of Easter were already perfect for a Feast of Mercy and responded by instituting Divine Mercy Sunday, fulfilling His request. With this in mind, let us look at these requests and promises of the Lord as regards to the Divine Mercy image and compare them to the writings of Pope Benedict XVI. In his book, “The Spirit of the Liturgy”, the Pope dedicated a complete chapter on the Question of Images. This work that was written at the turn of the millennium, is quite prophetic also. In it he takes us through the history of images from the Old Testament to the New and presents to us the reasons why we must use sacred images in our sacred spaces and also for our liturgies. He said that the purpose of the book was to assist the renewal of understanding the liturgy. After reading this monumental work, one is left with the impression of what the most perfect image would be to assist us in the celebration of Mass. If you have previously read about the image of Divine Mercy in the diary of St. Faustina, and the requests of Our Lord to have the image venerated, especially on the Feast of Mercy, you will see the prophetic nature of the Pope’s writing because they perfectly apply to this image and to the request of the Lord.

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

It is a prayer or Holy Mass that is offered for nine consecutive days. Scripturally, novenas take their origin from the nine days of prayer before Pentecost. After the Ascension, the apostles, and disciples, in obedience to the Lord, gathered in the upper room and devoted themselves to constant prayer, together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus (Acts 1:4-5). The nine days of prayer can also be considered as a representation of the nine months of Jesus in the womb of Mary. Like Jesus our Head, we His Body are also to be born of Mary and the Holy Spirit.

  • Vítimas De Pedofilia Na Igreja Divulgam Lista Negra De Papáveis Sociologia Enviado Por: [email protected] Postado Em:07/03/2013
    Disciplina - Sociologia - Vítimas de pedofilia na Igreja divulgam lista negra de papáveis Sociologia Enviado por: [email protected] Postado em:07/03/2013 Uma associação americana de vítimas de abusos sexuais por padres pedófilos publicou, nesta quarta-feira, uma lista negra de doze possíveis candidatos a Papa e exortou à Igreja Católica a levar a sério a proteção das crianças, a ajuda às vítimas e as denúncias de corrupção. "Queremos dizer aos prelados católicos que deixem de fingir que o pior já passou" sobre o escândalo de pedofilia dentro da Igreja, declarou David Clohessy, diretor da Rede de Sobreviventes de Abusados por Padres (Snap, na sigla em inglês). "Tragicamente, o pior com certeza ainda estar por vir", indicou Clohessy, ao acrescentar que a verdade dos abusos e encobrimentos "generalizados há muito tempo e profundamente arraigados ainda não chegou à superfície na maioria das nações". A organização citou uma dúzia de cardeais da Argentina, Austrália, Canadá, Estados Unidos, Gana, Honduras, Itália, México e República Tcheca acusados de proteger os padres pedófilos ou por realizar declarações defendendo os padres ou minimizando a situação. Todos eles são considerados candidatos a sucessão do Papa Bento XVI, muito criticado pela forma como conduziu os escândalos. A Snap também se opõe à eleição de qualquer membro da Cúria romana, a administração da Santa Sé. "Acreditamos que ninguém de dentro do Vaticano tem verdadeira vontade de 'limpar a casa' no Vaticano ou em outras partes", indicou Clohessy em um comunicado. "Promover um membro da Cúria desencorajaria as vítimas, as testemunhas, os denunciantes e seus defensores a relatar más condutas", ressaltou.

  • The Ethical Dimension of Politics
    […] The eleventh Krakow conference, held in September 2011 The Ethical Dimension of Politics in Tomaszowice, near Krakow, concerned a topic that is difficult and has been annually postponed – that of the ethical dimension of politics. Its aim was to draw a conclusion based on thoughts from the previous conference, during which the contribution The Role of the Catholic Church of Christians in the process of European integration was discussed. This time it was a matter of defining what role Christian politicians in the European Integration Process have to fulfil in this process, especially those who as part of its structure and decision-making bodies bear responsibility for its shape, which includes its ethical shape. This is not a simple task because it is in a way an account This publication contains the transcripts of conscience for these politicians, who often face ethical dilem- from speeches and discussions during the conference mas, and who establish the guidelines for many aspects of the lives in Krakow on 9-10 September 2011 of European citizens, who profess different faiths and worldviews; people who invoke their conscience, which is shaped by principles that are often at odds with those recognised by others.

I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter.

  • St. Faustina, Apostle of Divine Mercy 3
    CHAPTER 1 St. Faustina, Apostle of Divine Mercy How long shall I put up with you and how long will you keep putting Me off? (9) “Faustina, please,” I (Michele) told the cab driver, pointing to a small picture of Jesus hanging from his rearview mirror as my friends and I clambered into the back seat. He nodded. I had traveled to Kraków, Poland, for a weekend trip during my college semester abroad at the Francis- can University of Gaming, Austria. Although I spoke no Polish, the cab driver knew from my request exactly where to take us. He knew I had come to visit the shrine of the great saint Sr. Maria Faustina Kowalska. She was 1 2 D IVINE M ERCY FOR M O M S a young Polish religious sister who in the 1930s expe- rienced extraordinary visions of Jesus and his mother. Although Faustina was not very well known in the United States at the time of my visit to Kraków, she was widely celebrated in Poland. Hanging from the cab’s mirror was a distinctive picture known as the Image of Divine Mercy; it was painted at the direction of St. Faustina to portray Jesus as she had seen him in her visions. Devotion to the Image was already very popular among the Polish people and in recent times has surged in popularity in the United States, where the Image hangs in many Catholic homes and parishes, especially on the Sunday after Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday). As the cab driver headed for the Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki, the monastery of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy where Faustina had once lived, I tried to soak in as much as I could through the windows.
