MISSIONARIES of the POOR to the STATUS of PONTIFICAL RIGHT “THE LORD HEARS the CRY of the POOR” (Ps DECEMBER 2014 NEWSLETTER POPE FRANCIS RAISES THE MISSIONARIES OF THE POOR TO THE STATUS OF PONTIFICAL RIGHT “THE LORD HEARS THE CRY OF THE POOR” (Ps. 34) His Holiness, Pope Francis, by formal decree, has approved the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP) as Lay Religious Institute of PONTIFICAL RIGHT on December 8, 2014, feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Institutes of pontifical right are those erected or approved by the Holy See by formal decree. MOP was founded by Very Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung in 1981. It is an international monastic order of Brothers, Priests and Sister dedicated to "Joyful Service with Christ on the Cross" to serve the poorest of the poor. It has now grown to over 550 brothers from 13 countries serving the Lord in nine missions around the world. With hearts full of gratitude to God, together with our Blessed Mother Mary, and our Poor, we sing the Magnificat: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit exults Very Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung, founder of in God my Savior! He has looked upon his servant in her lowliness, with favor on the humble estate of the Missionaries of the Poor. his servant” (Luke 1: 46-48). CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW MOP SUPERIOR GENERAL BROTHER AUGUSTO SILOT JR! THE MISSIONARIES of the Poor has elected a new superior general, Brother Augusto Silot Jr., to succeed Father Richard Ho Lung, who founded the institution dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor, and has served at the helm since 1981. Brother Augusto was elected on March 25, 2014. Right photo: Father Richard Ho Lung (left) poses with Superior General Brother Augusto Silot THE BROTHERHOOD IN CHRIST A Special Christmas Message from Fr. Joseph Ssali MOP Regional Superior , Philippines & Indonesia "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1-5). Christmas reminds us of a profound Mystery – the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ birth reveals His humility. He emptied Himself and became man. Thus, Christ shared His human nature by becoming a Brother to us and through Him, we became adopted sons (and daughters) of the Father. The celebration of Christ’s coming reminds us of the call to Brotherhood in Christ. Our vocation as Missionaries of the Poor is marked by the Spirituality of Brotherhood. We are brothers in Christ. Like Christ, we are brothers to all men, especially the poorest of the poor. As brothers, we live a life of prayer – making us aware God’s special plan for us; a life of love – for each other and a life of free service – working and serving among the poorest of the poor. It is a joy to live in community! Our community life is a witness to the world that in Christ there is unity. Although we come from different parts of the world, we live in a monastery that builds us as brothers and sets aside all our differences – cultures, character and even color! It draws us together as brothers toward a common goal for the building of the Kingdom of God here on earth. During this Christmas season, let us continue to share our lives with the poor. Remember that when you share Baby Emmanuel, a special child, is yourself with others especially the poor, life begins to find its meaning. When you help others, you start planting carried by Fr. Joseph Ssali, MOP Re- a lifetime of happiness. The time you touch the lives of others is the moment you truly live your purpose. The gional Superior. The MOP also care for kindness you do is never lost. Each act takes root in every bit of love you sows. Merry Christmas to you all! children with special needs. PAGE 2 “JOYFUL SERVICE WITH CHRIST ON THE CROSS" MISSIONARIES OF THE POOR OUR COMMUNITY OF BROTHERHOOD & APOSTOLATE IN NAGA THE BROTHERS It entails great self- sacrifice on our part to be a Missionary of the Poor. Our best kept secret is the Holy Mass, life of Prayer and adoration of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. This is summit and the source of our life and apostolate. We pray daily, at least five times a day. SHELTER AND RESIDENTIAL CARE FOR THE HOMELESS /ABANDONED CHILDREN AND ELDERLY AND CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS The MOP brothers at play with the residents at the Divine Mercy Apostolate in Cararayan Naga City, Phil- ippines. This is the center of the life of the MOP apostolate. The residents are children with special needs aged three (3) to twenty (20) . The child can be in his/her 20’s yet they are still cared for because of their situation. Most of them have cerebral palsy , autism and heart problems. WE CARE FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS At this center, children can find and form a family with other resi- dents as well as with the MOP brothers and Lay Volunteers. Ac- tivities include daily prayer, physical exercise and physiotheraphy, gardening, house chores and recreation. Big percentage of the residents receive regular medication for mental illness, diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension and others. We also care for children with special needs who are homeless or abandoned by their own families or whose families are too poor to give them the care they deserve. WE OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY The Nazareth Center for Children has pre- school, feeding program for the malnourished kids and evening program for grade school children to assist scavenging the trash with their parents for recycla- them in their proper development.

RELIGIOUS INSTITUTES- PROPERTY AND TAX ISSUES SISTER CECILIA MEIGHAN, R.S.M. OF WILKES-BARRE, PA. Religious Institutes-Structures Under Canon Law I will be using the terms religious institute, religious order and reli- gious congregation interchangeably. There is a canonical distinction be- tween religious congregation and religious order; the former's members take simple vows, the latter's members take solemn vows, a distinction of importance in regard to the ownership of property which I will elaborate on shortly. Religious institute is the canonical term, religious order is fa- vored in civil law and by the IRS, and religious congregation and religious community are the more popular terms. A religious institute comes into existence when a group of Catholic Christians who choose to live a common life in service to God's people on behalf of the Church receive the Holy See's or a local bishop's approval.

Order 6-7. The Archdiocese recognizes that these questions were not fully explored in the parties’ briefing on the motion to dismiss and that, due to the coronavirus, the Court was unable to address these issues at oral argument. Accordingly, the Archdiocese respectfully asks the Court to reconsider the ruling with the benefit of additional clarity on the key canon-law matters it has identified. Taking the Complaint and exhibits as true, and taking judicial notice of undisputed canon law, the Archbishop’s directive to Cathedral could not be appealed within the Church, and the Archbishop is the “highest ecclesiastical authority”—as the Order uses that term—over Cathedral’s affiliation with the Catholic Church. Should the Court in considering this jurisdictional question under Rule 12(b)(1) wish to consider evidence on how canon law governs the relationships among Cathedral, the Archbishop, and the broader Church, the Archdiocese submits an affidavit from Fr. Joseph L. Newton, an expert in canon law, attached as Exhibit A.

  • The Beginning Everything Started from Father Gemelli’S Inspiring Ideas
    The beginning Everything started from father Gemelli’s inspiring ideas. He had the project of founding a Catholic University, the dream of Italian Catholics, to overcome at last the cultural inferiority caused by the Non expedit of the Church. (The Non expedit was a Vatican disposition forbidding the participation of Catholics in politics). The Non expedit (you cannot) had, in fact, a strong influence and caused the detachment of the majority of Catholics from political life. Father Gemelli believed that, to make the University strong and lasting, it was absolutely necessary to have a spiritual institution including people at all levels (professors, assistant professors, technical and financial staff, public relations staff and even door-keepers) supporting its life and activities by all means. He thought of the possibility of a lay consecration to God in the world, with vows taken secretly by lay people. The initial problem was that this type of consecration was considered impossible and unimaginable at that time, as it did not exist in the canon law. He started, however, with the women’s Institute of “the Missionaries of the Kingship of Christ” originated within the Third Order as “a branch of the great and prolific Franciscan tree”. The first twelve “Franciscan Tertiaries of the Social Kingdom of the Sacred Heart” consecrated themselves to the Lord, in the little choir of the church of San Damiano in Assisi, on the nineteenth of November 1919. This was before the foundation of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart that took place in 1921. These early Missionaries, through their witness of consecrated life in the world, gave a great contribution to the official acknowledgement of this special vocation by the Church.

    PROTECTION OF CHILDREN How to deal with acts of sexual abuse against minors GUIDELINES OF THE INSTITUTE OF THE BROTHERS OF CHRISTIAN INSTRUCTION OF PLOËRMEL Rome – June 2020 “In these schools, a complete human formation is given to the child’s heart as well as to his mind… The child acquires the knowledge that he will need in the future for whatever way of life that he may choose, and at the same time he is preserved from the bad habits that could spoil his entire life. ” (Jean-Marie de la Mennais, on the occasion of the foundation of a school, in 1846, Sermons, ll p. 796) “The time has come when we must take a new direction in the field of education and of formation inside the seminaries and the religious communities we need men and women who are serious, generous, strong, capable of giving their lives for the weak and the underprivileged, and who would never let anyone steal the life of the innocents. ” Don Fortunato Di Noto, founder of the association for the protection of childhood: METER) 2 INTRODUCTION The General Chapter of 2012 entrusted the General Council with the task of verifying whether, in the Congregation and the Mennaisian Family, the integrity of each child and young person is fully respected. Quoting the words of Pope Benedict XVI in his post synodal exhortation Africae Munus of November 19, 2011, (No. 67): "We acknowledge that God wants every child to be happy and to smile […] ; his favour rests upon them 'for to such belongs the Kingdom of God" (Mk 10, 14)", the General Chapter asks the General Council to consider the following points: • Urge the whole Mennaisian Family "to deplore and forcefully denounce the intolerable treatment to which so many children are subjected throughout the world" (Africae Munus, No.

    Catholic Health Care Federation Sponsor of 1999 Broadway Suite 2600 Denver, Colorado 80202 www.catholichealthinitiatives.org 9/06 2.5K ©2006 Catholic Health Initiatives PTHEassing FLAME Sponsorship of Catholic Health Initiatives PASSING THE FLAME OF sponsorship From 1994 to 1996, ten congregations of women religious engaged in a dialogue that led to the formation of Catholic Health Initiatives. They envisioned a new model of sponsorship to carry the Catholic health care ministry forward. Their vision focused on a shared model of sponsorship with equal participation by religious and lay members. This precedent-setting structure made Catholic Health Initiatives the first Catholic health system to give the laity a sponsorship role in its facilities. The women religious and lay leaders who formed the Steering Council that created Catholic Health Initiatives depended on mutual trust and a pioneer spirit to guide them in the evolution of the new sponsorship model. They had no rules or conventions to follow. It was as if the Steering Council created an architectural design, but did not fill in the colors, shapes or arrangements. The council understood that those who would implement the new sponsorship model would need flexibility in order to make it a reality. 1 Through a discernment process, the Members and the Board of Stewardship Trustees came to a fuller understanding of how the founding congregations had carefully tended the flame of sponsorship for many decades, then passed that flame to the Board for safekeeping. In general, sponsorship refers to the unique relationship of oversight, endorsement and support by a group that commits to advancing the healing ministry of Jesus.

  • The Beguine Option: a Persistent Past and a Promising Future of Christian Monasticism
    religions Article The Beguine Option: A Persistent Past and a Promising Future of Christian Monasticism Evan B. Howard Department of Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary 62421 Rabbit Trail, Montrose, CO 81403, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 June 2019; Accepted: 3 August 2019; Published: 21 August 2019 Abstract: Since Herbert Grundmann’s 1935 Religious Movements in the Middle Ages, interest in the Beguines has grown significantly. Yet we have struggled whether to call Beguines “religious” or not. My conviction is that the Beguines are one manifestation of an impulse found throughout Christian history to live a form of life that resembles Christian monasticism without founding institutions of religious life. It is this range of less institutional yet seriously committed forms of life that I am here calling the “Beguine Option.” In my essay, I will sketch this “Beguine Option” in its varied expressions through Christian history. Having presented something of the persistent past of the Beguine Option, I will then present an introduction to forms of life exhibited in many of the expressions of what some have called “new monasticism” today, highlighting the similarities between movements in the past and new monastic movements in the present. Finally, I will suggest that the Christian Church would do well to foster the development of such communities in the future as I believe these forms of life hold much promise for manifesting and advancing the kingdom of God in our midst in a postmodern world. Keywords: monasticism; Beguine; spiritual formation; intentional community; spirituality; religious life 1. Introduction What might the future of monasticism look like? I start with three examples: two from the present and one from the past.
