December 2012 Dear Parishioners, Throughout the Christmas season, we celebrate the miracle of the Incarnation, namely, that our divine, infinite, and transcendent God in Heaven freely chose to assume human flesh and come among us in the person of Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary. And in recalling the mysterious events that unfolded in Bethlehem on that first Christmas night, the Gospels seem to indicate that there was an unlikely, even incredible, “coming together” of various types of people around the baby Jesus. There was a living saint there, the Blessed Mother, and she was sinless, perfect and pure. But there were also many sinners present – the rest of them in fact – people like you and me that struggle through life against temptation and sin, who are anything but perfect, but would jump at the opportunity to see God face-to-face. The rich, intelligent and sophisticated were there, too, represented by the kings who were learned men who had the best that money could buy to offer the Newborn Savior. But the poor, uneducated and more primitive also gathered at the manger: they were the shepherds who had no social standing, worked for very low wages, and were often considered in elite Jewish circles to be beyond the scope of God’s covenant promises. Yes, the one for whom there was no room in the inn made room for everyone at His birth. And when all of these diverse individuals together faced the reality of Christmas, their differences melted away and they united in one common pur- pose: to glorify, adore and offer themselves in service to God’s Son who had come down from Heaven to be with them. In this edition of the The St. Louise Herald, you will find just some examples of the many ways that our parishioners come together everyday in service to the Lord in order to make the love of God incarnate in the lives of everyone who comes our way, no matter who they are, where they’ve been or what they have. It is my hope that as you read through the pages of your parish magazine, you may realize that Christ is not all that far away, indeed He is alive at Saint Louise, in our sacramental and devotional celebrations, through our educational programs and, in a special way, through our charitable outreach to the needy. At the same time, I also hope that these stories will motivate everyone to become more involved in the parish that seeks everyday to make Christ incarnate to the community we are privileged to serve. With best wishes for a blessed Christmas, I am Sincerely in Christ, Father Michael A. Caridi Pastor 4 LIVING of ST.

  • Louise De Marillac and the Spirituality of the Daughters of Charity
    Vincentiana, July-September 2012 Louise de Marillac and the Spirituality of the Daughters of Charity Meeting of Provincial Directors Sr. Antoinette Marie Hance, D.C. Introduction Louise de Marillac is an extraordinary woman and a great mystic, and to speak of her and her spirituality is, in a certain sense, to marvel anew at God’s loving plan for humanity, for the Church, for persons living in poverty, and for God’s preference for the lowly and humble of heart. Yes, God always surprises us, and in taking a new look at the life of Louise de Marillac, and dwelling on the spirituality shared with the fi rst Sisters, we see how God constantly borrows from our ways to reveal His love. I’m going to begin by letting St. Vincent speak. On July 24, 1660, two months before his death, he exhorted the fi rst Sisters as follows: “Sisters, after the example of your good mother, take the resolution to work at becoming holy and to detach yourselves from what displeases God in you” 1 . “After the example of your good Mother”. I think that looking at Louise to learn from her how to work at making ourselves holy according to God’s plan for us, and to detach ourselves from what displeases God, is characteristic of a spirituality: proposing a special path of holiness, a particular way of following Christ. The 350th anniversary of the deaths of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac was certainly a special opportunity to discover Louise or to get to know her better.

  • Vincentian II
    Topic 20: Vincentian Spirituality: Practical Charity, Part 2 Overview: St. Louise de Marillac became a companion to St. Vincent. They complemented each other with two very different personalities and skill-sets. Louise was the head person while Vincent was the heart person. What they shared in common was conversion of heart that came through the experience of the poor. Together, they founded of the Daughters of Charity, a radical break with previous forms of religious life for women. The Daughters became “Nuns in the World,” and they became the model for all subsequent forms of active religious life for women. Elizabeth Ann Seton brought the spirit and way of life of Vincent and Louise to America. She founded the Sisters of Charity, who expressed the virtue of charity through education, especially of the poor, ignorant, and immigrants. Louise de Marillac • Louise came into Vincent’s life after his conversion. • Louise’s early life was troubled. She never knew her mother. Her health was fragile. Her husband died in 1625 after a prolonged illness. The limitations of her childhood were always a source of anguish for her. This series of experiences plunged her into a dark night of the soul. • Vincent became a spiritual guide for her in dealing with her discouragement. Her friendship and collaboration with Vincent became a healing force in her life. Vincent was always there to support her through trials and tribulations. • Vincent helped her to become less reasoned and more spontaneous. • Her service to the poor and involvement with the Confraternities of Charity gradually cured her depressed spirit.

  • Pentecost Experience of Saint Louise De Marillac
    Pentecost Experience of Saint Louise de Marillac In the year 1623, on the Feast of Saint Monica, God gave me the grace to make a vow of widowhood should He call my husband to Himself. On the following Feast of the Ascension, I was very disturbed because of the doubt I had as to whether I should leave my husband, as I greatly wanted to do, in order to make good my first vow(note 1) and to have greater liberty to serve God and my neighbor. I also doubted my capacity to break the attachment I had for my director(2) which might prevent me from accepting another, during his long absence, as I feared I might be obliged to do. I also suffered greatly because of the doubt I experienced concerning the immortality of the soul. All these things caused me incredible anguish which lasted from Ascension until Pentecost. On the Feast of Pentecost(3) during holy Mass or while I was praying in the church(4), my mind was instantly freed of all doubt. I was advised that I should remain with my husband and that a time would come when I would be in a position to make vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and that I would be in a small community where others would do the same. I then understood that I would be in a place where I could help my neighbor but I did not understand how this would be possible since there was to be much coming and going. I was also assured that I should remain at peace concerning my director; that God would give me one(5) whom He seemed to show me.

  • St. Vincent De Paul and the Homeless
    WELCOMING THE STRANGER ST. VINCENT DE PAUL AND THE HOMELESS Robert Maloney, CM An earlier version of this article was published in Vincentiana 61, #2 (April-June 2017) 270-92. “There was no room for them in the inn.”1 Those stark words dampen the joy of Luke’s infancy narrative, which we read aloud every Christmas. No room for a young carpenter and his pregnant wife? Was it because they asked for help with a Galilean accent that identified them as strangers?2 Was there no room for the long-awaited child at whose birth angels proclaimed “good news of great joy that will be for all people”?3 No, there was no room. Their own people turned Mary and Joseph away. Their newborn child’s first bed was a feeding trough for animals. Matthew, in his infancy narrative, recounts another episode in the story of Jesus’ birth, where once again joy gives way to sorrow.4 He describes the death-threatening circumstances that drove Joseph and Mary from their homeland with Jesus. Reflecting on this account in Matthew’s gospel, Pius XII once stated, “The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family." 5 Quoting those words, Pope Francis has referred to the plight of the homeless and refugees again and again and has proclaimed their right to the “3 L’s”: land, labor and lodging.6 Today, in one way or another, 1.2 billion people share in the lot of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Can the Vincentian Family have a significant impact on their lives? In this article, I propose to examine the theme in three steps: 1.

However, over the decades, the Shrine has also been home to some individuals who, after their deaths and a long process of investigation, have been give formal, ecclesial recognition as saints—or are on the official “path” to sainthood. Philadelphia-native St. Katherine Drexel (1858-1955) was born a wealthy heiress, yet she gave herself and her inheritance to God by founding the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which provided services to Native Americans and African Americans. St. Katherine also founded St. Catherine of Sienna Parish in Germantown and asked the Vincentians to serve there as pastors and parochial vicars. (The parish has since merged with St. Vincent de Paul Parish.) By the time of her death, St. Katherine’s ministries had more than 500 sisters teaching in 63 schools throughout the country and 50 missions for Native Americans in 16 different states. She was canonized on October 1, 2000, by Pope John Paul II. By all accounts, St. Katherine Drexel and students from her school were regular attendees of the Monday Perpetual Novena at the Shrine. She would sit in the third- pew nearest the main shrine to Our Lady. Venerable Archbishop Fulton J.

  • The Daughters of Charity
    Women’s History Month: The Daughters of Charity Women’s History Month is the perfect time to celebrate the legacies of the many congregations of women religious who pioneered health care, education and social services in the United States. One such community is the Daughters of Charity, whose sisters nursed the war wounded, braved epidemics of yellow fever and Spanish flu, staffed havens for homeless children and taught the gamut of students from preschoolers to postgraduates. The Daughters of Charity were introduced to the United States in 1850, but in reality, that first group of sisters who donned the blue-gray habit and the iconic cornette had been active for some 40 years as Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph’s, the community founded by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The history of how they came to merge with the original “Company” founded in Paris in 1633 by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac is an interesting narrative of how several other congregations became Sisters of Charity in America. In 1809, John Carroll, then-bishop of the sole American diocese, and members of a group of French emigre Sulpician fathers had been encouraging the newly converted Elizabeth Ann Seton to form a religious community. Knowing the services that women could provide the growing church, they accepted Mother Seton as she made her first vows and with the support and connections of St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore and Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, helped her to establish herself and a small corps of women in that latter town.

  • Spirit of Louise De Marillac
    VINCENTIANA 4-2010 - INGLESE 24 Febbraio 2011 − 3ª BOZZA Vincentiana, October-December 2010 Reflection 4 SPIRIT OF LOUISE DE MARILLAC 1660 was a year of great loss for the Vincentian Family. Antoine Portail, Vincent de Paul’s first confrere and the first Director of the Daughters of Charity, died in February. His collaborator and friend, Louise de Marillac died in March and Vincent himself died in September. While Vincent’s name and countenance have been universally recognized since the XVIIth, century, those of Louise de Marillac faded completely into the background. It would only be in 1983 that she would emerge from Monsieur Vincent’s shadow to resume her place on an equal footing with him not only as the Foundress of the Daughters of Charity but as a woman of today who, by her words and actions, is capable of awakening in her fellow men and women the awareness of their proper dignity as children of God and servants of all those who are poor. Thus, in 2010, 350 years after the death of Vincent and Louise, the Vincentian Family from all corners of the world is uniting to celebrate this important anniversary and at the same time discover or rediscover Louise de Marillac. Who was Louise de Marillac in the XVIIth century? In May 1629, Vincent de Paul sent the young widow he had met a few years earlier to visit the Confraternities of Charity which had begun so well but were, in more recent times, losing their initial zeal. They needed to revive the enthusiasm that had characterized their beginnings.
