PHILOMENA THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X November 24th, 2019 A.D. – Last Sunday after Pentecost Welcome Visitors! The National Shrine of St. Philomena is part of the apostolate of The Society of Saint Pius X. The Shrine is maintained by an Association of Catholics known as “The Friends of St. Philo- mena, Inc.” (Code of Canon Law, N. 215). We teach the full Christian Faith and Morality. We adhere to the Traditional Roman Rites and follow the 1962 Roman Missal. The National Shrine of St. Philomena was founded in 1988 by Father Timothy Hopkins, R.I.P. He was a priest of the Diocese of Marsi, Italy, ordained by Mgr. Biaggio Terrinoni, O.F.M. (Cap.), R.I.P, on December 8th, 1984.

Box 530157, Miami Shores, FL 33153-0157 News and Announcements Today is the Last Sunday after Pentecost and the liturgy features the following warning: “He Who came in Mercy shall return in Justice." Our Lord came in humility, but He will return in glory; the object of His first coming being to prepare for the second. Those who receive Him gladly in time will be welcomed by him when eternity begins; while those who refused to acknowledge Him will be rejected. (Dom Gaspar Lefebvre, OSB, 1945) **** The New Shrine Fundraising pledge cards should be returned by December 8th . Those who are interested in setting up automatic bill pay, please speak to Mrs. Myrna Seda-Mendez. **** Foreign Mission Collection. Next Sunday’s second collection will be taken up for our Foreign Trust and will help all the various missions of Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa in their apostolates. May St. Francis Xavier whose feast is approaching inspire your generosity. **** St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered, along with Saint Teresa of Ávila, as a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. He is also known for his writings. Both his poetry and his studies on the growth of the soul are considered the summit of mystical Spanish literature and one of the peaks of all Spanish literature. He was canonized in 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII. He is one of the thirty-five Doctors of the Church. **** November 30th is the Feast of St. Andrew, apostle and martyr. A fisherman from Bethsaida and brother of Simon Peter, St. Andrew is said to have spread Christianity in Russia and Asia Minor after Pentecost in the first century. He was crucified by the Romans in Greece on an X-shaped cross, which is now his distinctive symbol as well as the symbol of Scotland, of which he is the patron. St. Andrew demonstrated his love for his brother as well as his apostolic zeal when, convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, he sought out St. Peter. “Andrew was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, ‘we have found the Messiah.’ Then he brought him to Jesus” (Jn. 1:40-42). **** St. Sylvester Guzzolini. Born of a noble family at Osimo, St. Sylvester was remarkable even as a boy for his scholarship and his good character. Having duly studied the sacred sciences and been made a canon, he benefited the people by his example and his preaching. From a desire for greater perfection, he withdrew into solitude and devoted himself to vigils, prayers and fasting. In Monte Fano he built a church in honor of St. Benedict and laid the foundation of the Congregation of the Sylvestrines. He was famous for the spirit of prophecy, for power over demons and for other gifts, which in his deep humility he always kept hidden. He died on November 26th, 1267, was beatified soon after by Pope Clement IV, and canonized in 1598 by Pope Clement VIII. “The LORD is in his Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” (Hab. 2, 20) St. Ambrose: Concerning repentance (Number 11) But if He brings not down every sinner with His whole heart, how much less does He bring down him with His whole heart who has not sinned with his whole heart! For as He said of the Jews: "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me," so perhaps He may say of some of the fallen: "They denied Me with their lips, but in heart they are with Me. It was pain which overcame them, not unfaithfulness which turned them aside." But some without cause refuse pardon to those whose faith the persecutor himself confessed up to the point of striving to overcome it by torture. They denied the Lord once, but confess Him daily; they denied Him in word, but con- fess Him with groans, with cries, and with tears; they confess Him with willing words, not under compulsion. They yielded, indeed, for a moment to the temptation of the dev- il, but even the devil afterwards departed from those whom he was unable to claim as his own. He yielded to their weeping, he yielded to their repentance, and after making them his own lost those whom he attached when they belonged to another. Is not the case such as when any one carries away captive the peo- ple of a conquered city? The captive is led away, but against his will. He must of necessity go to foreign lands, does not willingly make the journey; he takes his native land with him in his heart, and seeks an opportunity to return. What then? When any such re- turn, does anyone urge that they should not be received; with less honour indeed, but with readier will, that the enemy may have nothing with which to reproach them? If you pardon an armed man who was able to fight, do you not pardon him in whom faith alone waged the battle? OF YOUR CHARITY, PLEASE PRAY FOR: Pope Francis, Archbishop Thomas Wenski, Fr. Davide Pagliarani and the Society of St. Pius X, vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Photo: The National Gallery, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, 2012. © Michael Landy, Michael Landy as St Jerome, MICHAEL LANDY SAINTS ALIVE An introduction for teachers and students SAINTS ALIVE This exhibition consists of seven kinetic sculptures that are operated by visitors. The sculptures represent figures and stories of popular saints taken from the history of art. They are made from cast representations of details taken from National Gallery paintings, which have been combined with assemblages of recycled machinery, broken children’s toys and other unwanted junk. In the foyer to the exhibition, a selection of related drawings and collages is displayed. The collages are made from fragments cut out from reproductions of paintings in the collection. THE ROOTSTEIN HOPKINS ASSOCIATE ARTIST SCHEME The National Gallery is a historical collection that ends with work by Cézanne and the Post-Impressionists. At the time of the Gallery’s foundation in 1824, one of the stated aims was that it should provide a resource from which contemporary artists could learn and gain inspiration. Taking its cue from this idea, the Associate Artist Scheme began in 1989 with the appointment of Paula Rego. The essential requirement for the Associate Artist is that he or she makes new work by engaging with, and responding to the collection or some aspect of the collection. The artist is given a studio in the Gallery for a period of around two years. Michael Landy is the ninth artist to be invited to undertake this project.

  • Fourteen Holy Helpers (F.D
    FOURTEEN HOLY HELPERS (F.D. AUGUST 8) (As used by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russian, Western Rite Vicariate) A group of saints invoked with special confidence because they have proven themselves efficacious helpers in adversity and difficulties, are known and venerated under the name Fourteen Holy Helpers. Devotion to these fourteen as a group spread in response to the Black Plague which devastated Europe from 1346 to 1349. Among its symptoms were the tongue turning black, a parched throat, violent headache, fever, and boils on the abdomen. It attacked without warning, robbed its victims of reason, and killed within a few hours; many died without the last Sacraments. Brigands roamed the roads, people suspected of contagion were attacked, animals died, people starved, whole villages vanished into the grave, social order and family ties broke down, and the disease appeared incurable. The pious turned to heaven, begging the intervention of the saints, praying to be spared or cured. This group devotion began in Germany. The names of the fourteen Saints varied from place to place, but the primary principle of their selection was the efficacy of their intercession against various diseases—most, but not all, were venerated as Martyrs. Typically named are the following Saints: Achatius (Agathius), Barbara, Blaise, Catherine of Alexandria, Christopher, Cyriacus, Dionysius (Denys), Erasmus (Elmo) of Formia, Eustace (Eustathius), George, Giles, Margaret of Antioch, Panteleimon, & Vitus. For one or other of the above were sometimes named Saints Anthony the Great, Leonard, Nicholas, or Sebastian. Sts. Christopher and Giles were invoked against the plague itself. St. Dionysius was prayed to for relief from headache, St.
