PACELLI, Secrétaire d'Etat, LETTRE APOSTOLIQUE à l'occasion du VF Congrès catholique de Malines. A Notre cher Fils le cardinal Joseph-Ernest Van Roey., archevêque de Malines. NOTRE CHER FILS, SALUT ET BÉNÉDICTION APOSTOLIQUE. L'annonce du VI* Congrès catholique de Malines, que le zèle pastoral de l'épiscopat belge a soigneusement préparé et dont vous Nous faites part en des termes qui expriment si bien le ferme espoir du succès, Nous fait assister d'avance à un de ces grands événements qui marquent une date mémorable dans la vie religieuse et sociale de la noble Belgique. Vous voujez, en effet — en cette heure particulièrement grave dans l'histoire du monde civilise, — vous qui avez l'honneur de vous trouver à Pavant- garde de la civilisation, faire comme une halte sur le chemin montant de votre multiforme activité, et en vous assemblant des différents secteurs faire le dénombrement de vos forces et surtout la revue consciencieuse de votre objectif, de votre programme, de votre travail. Car vous vous rendez bien compte qu'au moment où les forces du mal se réunissent pour mieux prendre l'essor et s'élancer à l'attaque, rien ne serait plus -dangereux que la disper­ sion et l'isolement ; et il est, au contraire, de toute nécessité, Nous dirons même de stricte obligation, de serrer les rangs et de se donner fortement la main, en faisant appel, s'il le faut, aux trésors d'énergie spirituelle que les vertus chrétiennes mettent à la disposition de toutes les bonnes volontés, pour faire les sacri­ fices que la cause commune exigerait. Ceci est d'autant plus nécessaire et les sacrifices demandés doivent être acceptés d'autant plus volontiers que les catholiques n'ignorent pas les sources inépuisables et toujours renouvelées dont l'Eglise est l'heureuse dépositaire pour la solution de toute question sociale, morale, religieuse, en touit temps et en tous lieux, grâce aux doctrines infaillibles de Celui qui, seul, a des paroles de vie éternelle ot peut, dans la mêlée ides idées et des passions qui troublent la société, ramener la lumière dans les esprits et la paix au sein des masses. L'éternelle vérité des prin­ cipes qui sont à la base du christianisme et la souplesse infinie avec laquelle l'Evangile s'est toujours adapté au progrès et aux différentes conditions de vie créées à l'humanité au cours des siècles sont la meilleure garantie de la parfaite modernité sociale du catholicisme; et la longue série des documents pontificaux con­ cernant les problèmes de cette nature en est la preuve évidente. Cette constatation Nous rassure de la manière la plus absolue 10 LETTRE APOSTOLIQUE « L'ANNONCE » au sujet de Nos chers Fils les Belges, dont la foi bien trempée est à Pépreuve des luttes et des sacrifices, et loin de fléchir dans les difficultés n'a jamais cessé de surnager aux dissensions mêmes. C'est d'elle qu'ils puiseront sûrement la lumière et la force pour retrouver la conscience unanime de leurs devoirs à l'heure actuelle et pour envisager dans leurs Congrès les différentes manifestations de la vie catholique dans un esprit d'union qui doit les porter à une vaste convergence des efforts sur tous les terrains et à former une puissance cohérente de régénération morale pour leur patrie bien-aiméc. Le travail que- le Congrès va accomplir daais ses différentes sec­ tions d'étude et dans l'heureuse coordination qui s'ensuivra sera la base et le point de départ de cet autre travail particulier, patient» quotidien, auquel toutes les organisations — aucune axeeptée — et tous les catholiques- dignes de ce nom se feront un devoir de consacrer leurs énergies. Et cela, sous la conduite éclairée de leurs pasteurs, avec cet esprit d'obéissance, cette disci­ pline spontanée, cet enthousiasme persévérant que l'importance d'une telle œuvre requiert absolument de tout véritable disciple d'u: Christ, de tout enfant de l'Eglise, et dont les Belges ont su donner en maintes occasions de si beaux exemples. Ce- sera une nouvelle preuve donnée au monde que leur dévouement à la cause de l'Evangile n'est pas fictif et leur attachement à leurs pasteurs n'est pas un vain mot. Ils auront ainsi, une fois de plus, bien mérité de la Belgique et de l'Eglise : ils auront sauvegardé celle-là du danger d'une catastrophe ; ils auront donné à celle-ci la preuve réelle de leur amour, qui est celle du renoncement et du sacrifice. Dans le ferme espoir que le Congrès de Malines réalisera cet objectif et donnera au monde une manifestation grandiose de vitalité et de fraternité catholique, Nous implorons avec ardeur sur ses participants et sur ses travaux les plus abondantes faveurs du ciel, et en élevant dans ce but Nos vœux et Nos prières au Cœur sacré de Jésus à qui la Belgique est consacrée, Nous envoyons de tout cœur à vous-même, cher Fils, aux dignitaires et pasteurs qui vont présider avec vous à ces assises solennelles, enfin au clergé et à. tous nos chers Belges, la Bénédiction apos­ tolique. Donné à Castel-Gandolfo, près Rome, le 2 septembre 1936, quin­ zième année de Notre Pontificat. PIE XI, PAPE.

  • 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.

  • From Bonnie Kirk, Sacramental Coordinator
    Update August 7th, 2020: from Bonnie Kirk, Sacramental Coordinator AUGUST THURSDAYS You are invited to join us on Thursday evenings during the month of August, on ZOOM, as we explore and prepare the readings for the upcoming Sunday. Contact Bonnie ([email protected]) for more information and to receive the invitation link. We meet from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. RCIA UPDATE In many ways Covid 19 paused the faith journey for our elect, Elizabeth and Mila. We had just celebrated the Rite of Election with them when we were “locked down”. They did continue their preparation within the family and online, and were presented with the creed. We are now able to move forward and so will celebrate a Scrutiny with them on Sunday, August 30th at the 12:30pm Mass. As a result, we will celebrate the liturgy of the fourth Sunday in Lent which proclaims the gospel account of the Man Born Blind. (John 9:1-41). Please continue to pray for them and their families at this time. BIBLE TIMELINE The regular Thursday evening bible study will resume after Labour Day. This year we will be using the Bible Timeline offered by Ascension Press. The Bible Timeline study program takes you on a guided journey through salvation history. Presenter Jeff Cavins will show you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and give you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture. Through its 24 sessions, The Bible Timeline will teach you how to read and understand the Bible and introduce you to the wonderful narrative of the Bible in a way that will transform your life.

  • Full Secularity Full Consecration in the World
    In the world Full secularity Full consecration Source: www.cmis-int.org (World Conference of Secular Institutes) “A secular institute is an institute of consecrated life in which Christ’s faithful, living in the world, strive for the perfection of charity and endeavour to contribute to the sanctification of the world, especially from within” (canon # 710). What is the secular institute? Secular institutes are a still young reality in the history of the Church. They emerged in the first half of the nineteenth century and were approved by Pope Pius XII in 1947 through the Apostolic Constitution Provida Mater Ecclesia and via the Motu Proprio Primo Feliciter in 1948. Until then, all those who wanted to devote themselves to God had to leave the world and enter religion, either in a Religious Order or in a Congregation. Since the appearance of Secular Institutes, lay people who feel the call to live the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience, can consecrate themselves to God, without losing their secular state in the Church, by sanctifying themselves in the world and from within the world itself. Secularity and consecration Secular institutes combine secularity and consecration: in fact, the members of a secular institute are fully secular and fully consecrated, joining in themselves two realities that until now were incompatible with each other. They are fully consecrated to God as the religious and they are as secular as the rest of the Christians who are not clerics. The fact that they live in the midst of the world, performing the most varied professions in different social environments, does not diminish their consecration.

  • 1 Longer Canon Law Introduction Page For
    LONGER CANON LAW INTRODUCTION PAGE FOR DOWNLOADING (material taken from the CLSA commissioned The Code of Canon Law, A Text and Commentary, edited by James Coriden, Thomas Green and Donald Heintschel (Paulist Press, New York: 1985), pp. 1-22). I. The Historical Development of Law in the Church. There are basically 5 historical periods in the history of the development of law in the Church. These are as follows: 1. The Early Christian Community (1-8 centuries). The early Christian Church, at least in Jewish sectors, incorporated the laws of the Old Testament into its life and practices. In the Old Testament, there were laws, which focused on the worship of the Jewish people, laws concerned with dietary regulations, and moral laws given by God for his people. In the earliest writings of the New Testament, laws appear. St. Paul, the first writer of the New Testament, presents lists of moral and disciplinary directives to be observed by all believers. He speaks at some length on marriage, the giving of directives for the moral life, and on amending the Jewish ritual practices of the early Christians, so that Christianity would not simply remain a Jewish sect. The early Church councils made determinations that were fairly specific and localized. They sought to offer specific solutions to specific problems now being faced by the growing Church. Many early canonical decisions and legislation was made from local, regional and provincial councils, such as the Synod of Elvira (in about the year 300). After the Edict of Constantine (313), the Church began another stage of development, since it was now free to grow and expand beyond the borders of the Roman Empire, without fear of persecution.

  • Consecration and Secularity
    CONGREGATION FOR THE INSTITUTES OF CONSECRATED LIFE AND SOCIETIES OF APOSTOLIC LIFE CONSECRATION AND SECULARITY Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church regardin the Secular Institutes Provida Mater Ecclesia was a revolutionary ges- ture in the Church. Secular institutes are themselves an act of courage that the Church made at that moment; giving a structure and institutionalize the Secular Institutes. And from that time up to now, the good you do for the Church is very great; it is done with courage, for one needs great courage to live in the world. Many of you live alone, others in small communities. Every day you live the normal life of a person in the world, and, at the same time, nurture contemplation. This contemplative dimension toward the Lord as well as in relation to the world: to contemplate reality, to contemplate the beauties of the world as well as the great sins of socie- ty, its deviations; all these things, and always in a spiritual tension.... This is why your vocation is so fascinating, because it is a vocation which is spot on, where the salvation not only of people but of the institutions are at stake. And a great many lay institutions are necessary in the world. That is 3 why I think that Provida Mater Ecclesia was a truly revolutionary step for the Church! (Pope Francis to the participants at a meeting organized by the Italian Conference of Secular Institutes, May 10, 2014) 4 Dearest Brothers in the Episcopate, On the seventieth anniversary of the prom- ulgation of the Apostolic Constitution Provida Mater Ecclesia (February 2, 1947), and of the Motu proprio Primo Feliciter (March 12, 1948), we would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lord for the gift of this vocation in the Church.

  • Secular Institute Little Apostles of Charity Head Office: Ponte Lambro (Co) - Italia - Via Don Luigi Monza,1 - 22037 Tel
    SECULAR INSTITUTE LITTLE APOSTLES of CHARITY SECULAR INSTITUTES Everybody, whether in their own family or in their own parish, school, office, laboratory or in the fields or in any other place should say: these people around me are the souls that God has entrusted to me to return to the charity of the first Christians. (blessed Luigi Monza) Secular Institutes have been present since the first half of the 18th century: they were officially recognised by the Church in 1947 through the Apostolic Costitution Provida Mater Ecclesia and the Motu Proprio Primo Feliciter issued in 1948. Secular Institute members are men and women who 'seek to live out their consecration to God in the world through the profession of the evangelical counsels in the midst of temporal realities; they wish in this way to be a yeast of wisdom and a witness of grace within cultural, economic and political life. Through their own specific blending of presence in the world and consecration, they try to make present in society the power of Christ's Kingdom, making great effort to transfigure the world from within by the power of the Beatitudes (St. John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consacrata, Rome, 1996, n. 10). They belong totally to God and, consecrated to his service, they carry out their work under the common conditions of life. They live according to the Gospel of Christ, bringing an incisive presence to society through the demonstration of Christian life governed by firm principles of faith and in the hide devotion to their own consecration. From the speech given by Pope Francis to participants in the General Assembly promoted by the Italian Conference of Secular Institutes, Rome, 10 May 2014: I understand and value your vocation! It is one of the most recent forms of consecrated life the Church has recognised and approved, and maybe this is the reason why it is not yet fully understood.

  • Historical Development of Consecrated Religious Life in the Catholic Church
    Historical development of Consecrated Religious Life in the Catholic Church Refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consecrated_life_(Catholic_Church) Each major development in religious life, particularly in the Latin West can be seen as a response of the very devout to a particular crisis in the Church of their day. The Eremitic (hermit) Life When Constantine was legalizing Christianity in the Roman Empire in the early 300s, and the Christian faith became the favoured religion, it lost the self-sacrificing character that had profoundly marked it in the age of Roman persecution. In response to the loss of martyrdom for the sake of the Kingdom of God, some of the very devout men and women left the cities for the testings of the life in the desert that was meant to lead the individual back into a more intimate relationship with God, just like the wandering of the Israelites in the Desert of Sin. The Greek word for desert, eremos, gave this form of religious living the name eremitic (or eremitical) life , and the person leading it the name hermit. St Antony the Great and other early leaders provided guidance to less experienced hermits, and there were soon a large number of Christian hermits, particularly in the desert of Egypt and in parts of Syria. Though the eremitic life would eventually be overshadowed by the far more numerous vocations to the cenobitic life, it did survive. The Middle Ages saw the emergence of a variant of the hermit, the anchorite; and life in Carthusian and Camaldolese monasteries has an eremitic emphasis.
