ANTONIO NEPOMUCEl^ MIGUEL UST EDITORIAL Responses to the CBCP's call to celebrate the Great Jubilee VICENTE CAJILIG, OP LIBRARY Christians are called to celebrate the Great Jubilee in the beginning of the Third Millennium. The local churches have specific responses to the summon. The people of Sagay, one little town in the Island of Camiguin (Mindanao), connected the celebration of the coming of the Third Millennium with the Holy Week Rites and the Eucharistic Year. During the Celebration of Good Friday, Jesus, who just died on the cross, was given a burial. A burial fit for a human Jesus. The people prepared a small chapel within the parish for their "lamayan". According to reports, the simple rite really touched the heart of the people. In the same parish, the priest in-charge sent representatives to attend a seminar of the Vicariate. Paraphernalia on the Eucharist were distributed. The representatives re-echoeBENAVIDESd the said seminar in the barrios and sitios of the parish. The effort invited Eucharistic awareness. One barrio near Tagbilaran (Bohol) accentuated the attention on Jesus during Bible sharing. ThDEe Bibliarasal Approach is used. Leaders of the said sharing groups deal on Person of Jesus as reflected upon and experienced by the participants who study the Word of God. In a little barrio in Iloilo, the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is given a renewed accent. The people are trying to be close to Jesus as a good Shepherd with a tender heart. Of course, these are just few. There are other greater efforts done in the diocesan levels that merit notice. But the ones mentioned show that "somethingMIGUEL" is happening in the grassroot level of the Church. All these reports should make everyone happy because the year 1997 as year of Jesus, which is now in its mid-course, is harvesting fruits. The aforementioned are the concrete indications of local people's par­ ticipation in the celebration of the Year of Jesus. UST PASTORAL WORDS Priest is Set Aside for a Special Work JOHN PAUL H LIBRARY Holy Father reflects on mission of the priest and announces publication of his 'memoirs' "On this exceptional jubilee, I have accepted the insistent requests coming from various quarters and have decided to write some memoirs and reflections on my vocation, which is a 'Gift and Mystery'", the Holy Father announced to the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square before praying the Angelus on Friday, 1 November. He had just celebrated a special Mass in St. Peter's Basilica to mark the 50th anniversary of his ordination. Here is the translationBENAVIDES of the Pope's reflection, which was given in Italian. Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. I have just celebrateDE d a solemn Eucharistic liturgy in St. Peter's Basilica on the feast of All Saints. This celebration was enhanced with special significance for me this year. In fact I wanted to celebrate, with the beloved Diocese of Rome, the 50th anniversary of my priestly ordination, which occurred precisely on 1 November 1946. I warmly thank you all, dear priests and faithful of Rome, who have taken part in this morning's celebration in the various groups of the diocesan community. I also greet the pilgrims who have gathered here for the Marian prayer. In a particular way I address a greeting to youMIGUEL, dear young people : may each of you joyfully discover your own UST vocation and with God's help commit yourselves to living it faithfully. I ask the Lord that among you young people there will be some who feel called to the priesthood, as I was, in the years of my youth. 2. I cherish vivid memories of the day of my ordination and of the following day, 2 November, when I celebrated my first Holy Masses in the crypt of Krakow cathedral. I never cease to thankj God for all he accomplished in me then. As the years pass, I become more and more aware that every priest has within him a "mystery of faith". His human "today" transcends the contingent events of everyday lifeLIBRARY, since he is inserted into the eternal "today" of Christ the Redeemer. Although he is fully involved in the social fabric in which he lives, the priest is also aware of belonging to a different dimension, precisely because he knows he has been set aside by the Spirit for a specific "work" which God intends to achieve among men through him (cf. Acts 13:2): he is called to be the steward of the mysteries of God (cf. 1 Cor 4:1). 3. On this exceptional jubilee, I have accepted the insistent requests coming from various quarters and have decided to write some memoirs and reflections on my vocation, which is a "Gift and Mystery". I have written this testimony thinking of my brothers in the priesthood, and I offer it to them in the keen desire that it may be for each of them a source of hope and renewed zeal in the faithful fulfillment of their priestly mission. BENAVIDES I entrust my sentiments to Mary, Mother of the Church, calling upon her for all priests.

Legaspi, O.P., D.D. in 1988. Now, after a lapsDEe of almos t ten years, there arises a need to reflect more seriously on the directional course that this Formation Manual caters to, i.e., whether in the light of the more recent documents like, Pastores Dabo Vobis and the Directory on the Life and Ministry of Priests, this same Formation Manual continues to be relevant, true to its form and attuned to the spirit of the aforementioned documents.

  • The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from the Far East:
    The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from theF ar East: Cardinal Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894) Levine Andro H. Lao1 Center for Theology, Religious Studies and Ethics University of Santo Tomás, Manila, Philippines Abstract: In light of the celebration of the five centuries of Christianity in the Philippines, this article hopes to reintroduce Fr. Zeferino González, OP, to scholars of Church history, philosophy, and cultural heritage. He was an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomás, a Cardinal, and a champion of the revival of Catholic Philosophy that led to the promulgation of Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris. Specifically, this essay presents, firstly, the Cardinal’s biography in the context of his experience as a missionary in the Philippines; secondly, the intellectual tradition in Santo Tomás in Manila, which he carried with him until his death; and lastly, some reasons for his once-radiant memory to slip into an undeserved forgetfulness. Keywords: Zeferino González, Thomism in Asia, Aeterni Patris, Christian Philosophy, History of Philosophy n the 1880s, the University of Santo Tomás had two grand celebrations that were associated with Fr. Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894). The first pompous festivity was held in 1880 when the University received Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris;2 the second was when Fray Zeferino (as how I1 Levine Andro Hernandez Lao can be contacted at [email protected].

  • International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller
    International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller 31 May 2017 Eminence, Gerhard Cardinal Müller Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine on Faith Piazza del S. Uffizio, 11 00193 Roma, Italy Your Eminence: We, Executive Members of the International Marian Association, which consti- tutes over 100 theologians, cardinals, bishops, clergy, religious and lay leaders from 5 continents, wish to, first of all, thank you for the many excellent and courageous articulations and defenses of our holy Catholic Faith, as contained in your recently released, The Cardinal Müller Report. At the same time, we are obliged to express to you our grave concern regarding your comment from the text when you state: “(for example, the Church … does not call her [Mary] “co-redeemer,” because the only Redeemer is Christ, and she herself has been redeemed sublimiore modo, as Lumen Gentium [n. 53] says, and serves this redemption wrought exclusively by Christ… (p. 133). You unfortunately refer to this term as an example of false exaggeration: “falsely exaggerating per excessum, attributing to the Virgin what is not attributable to her” (Ibid.). Your Eminence, in making this statement, albeit as a private theologian since a public interview carries no authoritative or magisterial status, you have publicly stated: 1) a theologically and historically erroneous position, since the Church undeni- ably has and does call Mary a co-redeemer; and 2) a position which, in itself, materially dissents from the repeated and authoritative teachings of the Papal Magisterium, the historical teachings from your own Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (Holy Office)and other Vatican Congregations; the pre- and post-conciliar teachings of the Magisterium as expressed through numerous cardinals, bishops and national episcopal conferences; teachings of the broader Church, inclusive of multiple can- onized saints and blessed who all do, in fact, assent to and theologically expand upon the authentic Magisterial teachings of the Church concerning Mary as a co- redeemer.
