INDEX ROMAN CATHOLICISM CATHOLICISM 312 CE October 28: Our favorite pushy people, the Romans, met at Augusta Taurinorum in northern Italy some even pushier people, to wit the legions of Constantine the Great — and the outcome of this would be an entirely new Pax Romana. While about to do battle against the legions of Maxentius which outnumbered his own 4 to 1, Constantine had a vision in which he saw a compound symbol (chi and rho , the beginning of ) appearing in the cloudy heavens,1 and heard “Under this sign you will be victorious.” He placed the symbol on his helmet and on the shields of his soldiers, and Maxentius’s horse threw him into the water at Milvan (Mulvian) Bridge and the Roman commander was drowned (what more could one ask God for?). 1. In a timeframe in which no real distinction was being made between astrology and astronomy, you will note, seeing a sign like this in the heavens may be classed as astronomy quite as readily as it may be classed as astrology.

Photo by Záboj Horák FortressCHURCH in Prague REPORTER – Chodov, 3/202 birthplace1 of Blessed Dominik Zavřel, OCist. 1 Czech Priest Dominik Zavřel O.Cist., Martyr of the Eucharist, Declared Blessed On Saturday, 17th April 2021, a major event took place in the Cistercian Abbey of Casamari, southeast of Rome. The Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints His Eminence Marcello Semeraro declared six martyrs from the abbey to be blessed. They are Simeon Cardon, Dominik Zavřel and fellows. Their martyrdom, and therefore their birth for heaven, occurred on 13th May 1799. Dominik Zavřel was born in 1725 in the village of Chodov, then in the Hostivař parish, a few kilometres south of Prague. Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist in Hostivař (pictured left), where he was baptized and given the Christian name John, is today an important spiritual centre of the southwestern part of Prague. At the age of twenty, Jan Zavřel joined the Dominican order and received the religious name Chrysostom. Priory of Dominican noviciate was then located in the town of Litoměřice, still the seat of the bishop for northern Bohemia. After a year of novitiate, he made perpetual religious vows in 1746. In 1752 he is remembered as a priest, a member of the Dominican Priory in Prague at St. Giles, where he continued his theological studies.

    St. Agnes of Rome / St. Rose of Lima 978 -774 -1958 / 978 - 887– 5505 Parish Office: 22 Boston St. Middleton TCI.church Dear Parishioners, As a seminarian, my time here at St. Agnes parish and St. Rose of Lima parish has been great! I have learned and experi- enced so much. At the end of the Summer, I will return to St. John’s Seminary to continue my formation to the priesthood, returning here to Topsfield and Middleton once or twice a week during the academic year. Next summer, I will be able to be with you for the whole summer as a Deacon, and then for the following year in my final year of preparation for Priesthood. To travel from the seminary to Topsfield and Middleton takes approximately one hour, but I do not yet have a car. I write this as an appeal to ask if you may have a car you are getting rid of or selling, or know someone who is, if you could please let me know. This will enable me to commute on a weekly basis from the seminary to our parishes as part of my training for Priesthood, and to have transportation between our two parishes when I am here. I would be happy to buy an inexpensive car or receive one from any person’s generosity. Thank you very much for your care and generosity, and may God bless you. Amen. Your Brother in Christ, Maxwell Chukwudiebere. Even in the midst of a global pandemic, service to others remains core to the work of our Church.

  • 1 Introduction 2 the New Religious Orders 3 the Council of Trent And
    NOTES 1 Introduction I. This term designates first of all the act of 'confessing' or professing a par­ ticular faith; secondly, it indicates the content of that which is confessed or professed, as in the Augsburg Confession; finally then it comes to mean the group that confesses this particular content, the church or 'confession'. 2 The New Religious Orders I. The terms 'order' and 'congregation' in this period were not always clear. An order usually meant solemn vows, varying degrees of exemption from the local bishop, acceptance of one of the major rules (Benedictine, Augustinian, Franciscan), and for women cloister.A congregation indicated simple vows and usually subordination to local diocesan authority. A con­ fraternity usually designated an association of lay people, sometimes including clerics, organized under a set of rules , to foster their common religious life and usually to undertake some common apostolic work. In some cases confraternities evolved into congregations, as was the case with many of the third orders, and congregations evolved into orders. 2. There is no effort here to list all the new orders and congregations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 3. An English translation of Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, the papal bull of 27 September 1540 establishing the Society ofJesus, is found in John Olin, The Catholic Reformation: Savonarola to Ignatius Loyola: Reform in the Church, /495-1540 (New York: Harper and Row, 1969), pp. 203-8. 3 The Council of Trent and the Papacy I.

  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • Diocesan Bulletin
    Diocesan Bulletin - January, 2015 Mar Jacob Angadiath with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Canonization of Saint Chavara Kuriakose & Saint Euphrasia The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in the history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament understanding of God. St. Thomas Syro-Malabar St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by Catholic Diocese of Chicago living and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro-Malabar Church in the United States of America.

  • Sezioni Mostra
    SEZIONI MOSTRA L’esposizione è suddivisa in tre sezioni : Prima della Spina La Spina dei Borghi Cavare la “spina” a San Pietro PRIMA DELLA SPINA Tramite sculture, affreschi, disegni, dipinti e cartografie si racconterà come questo territorio passò dall’essere marginale e inospitale ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma divenendone parte integrante. Escluso dal perimetro delle mura, povero e malsano a causa dei frequenti straripamenti del Tevere, questo territorio iniziò ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma solo a partire dalla prima età imperiale. A seguito di interventi di bonifica furono realizzate le prime ville suburbane le più famose delle quali appartenevano ad Agrippina e Domizia. Giardini dal ricco arredo scultoreo si alternavano a costruzioni sfruttando scenograficamente la topografia dei luoghi, vicini al fiume e prossimi ai rilievi del colle Vaticano, del Monte Santo Spirito e del Gianicolo. Lungo le due strade principali che attraversavano la zona, la via Triumphalis e la via Cornelia, si addensarono diversi monumenti funerari (tra le memorie più evidenti, oggi, il mausoleo di Adriano, la necropoli vaticana – sotto la Basilica – e quella dell’Autoparco Vaticano e di S. Rosa). Se il termine “ Vaticano ” è oggi immediatamente riconducibile a San Pietro e al cristianesimo, in età imperiale ebbe una valenza fortemente pagana : quest’area ospitò infatti un luogo di culto dedicato alla dea frigia Cibele chiamato, per l’appunto, Vaticanum o Phrygianum Vaticanum frequentato ancora fin quasi alla fine del IV sec. d.C ., in compresenza e forse in contrapposizione alla nuova fede emergente, il cristianesimo. Nel corso dell’alto medioevo, intorno alla Basilica si sviluppò una vera e propria area sacra con monasteri, diaconie, chiese: burgs era il termine con cui i pellegrini germanici definivano l’agglomerato da cui “Borgo”.

  • I ABSTRACT FOLLOWING OUR RABBI: DISCOVERING AN
    i ABSTRACT FOLLOWING OUR RABBI: DISCOVERING AN APPRENTICE MODEL OF DISCIPLESHIP by Judith L. Ransbottom-Stallons What happens when we forget how to follow our Rabbi? We lose our direction and look for something or someone else to follow: a charismatic leader, the latest trend, the most popular text. When none of it works, we are left scratching our heads and wordlessly wondering what it is we are doing wrong. It is the quandary of the 21st century church, and for the purposes of this paper, The United Methodist Church in the Kentucky Annual Conference. Some churches grow no matter what. Some churches close no matter what. Yet, the possibilities for substantive growth may have measurable potential if every church restored what it means to follow our Rabbi. In the case of Christendom, our Rabbi is Jesus the Christ. We keep reading more books and attending more seminars, yet it does not seem to catch fire the way we imagined it would. Church membership dwindles, baptisms and professions of faith are sometimes rare occurrences, so we are missing something. Through the distribution of surveys to pastors within the Kentucky Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church who have utilized either Spiritual Leadership Inc. or 3DM as their top choice for renewing church vitality and what it means to “make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world,” this dissertation seeks to rediscover what it looks like to follow our Rabbi Jesus and what we ii are missing that keeps us from fully realizing our mission statement and our Commission from Christ.
