    Blessed Among Us Sr. Dorothy Stang Martyr of the Amazon (1931–2005)

    132 February 12 Blessed Among Us Sr. Dorothy Stang Martyr of the Amazon (1931–2005) On the morning of February 12, 2005, Sr. Dorothy Stang, an American-born nun who had spent forty years in Brazil, set off for a meeting of landless farmers. Along the muddy trail her way was blocked by two hired gunmen who asked whether she carried any weapon. In reply she produced her Bible and began to read the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit . Blessed are the peacemakers.” And then they shot her. Sr. Dorothy, born in Dayton, Ohio, joined the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur out of high school and volunteered in 1966 to work in Brazil. Eventually she was drawn to the remote regions of the Amazon and the cause of poor farmers who were exploited and robbed by rich loggers and cattle barons. She had come to see the connections between defend- ing the rights of the poor and protecting the ecological balance of the rain forest itself. Well into her seventies, she trudged through mud and thick forests to attend prayer services and labor meetings. Her efforts on behalf of the farmers and the imperiled rain forest marked her as an enemy by those who hired her assassins. Her death aroused the government of Brazil and the whole world to the cause of ecology and justice for which she offered her life. “I light a candle and look at Jesus on the cross and ask for the strength to carry the suffering of the people. Don’t worry about my safety.

    Theme for World Mission Sunday 2021 “We cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20) 1 Meditations on the Biblical Readings of the Holy Mass of the Missionary Month October 2021 (prepared by the community of Trappist nuns of Vitorchiano - Italy at the request of the Pontifical Missionary Union) 2 © copyright Missio Austria/Clemens Fuchs For further information on the figure of Venerable Pauline Jaricot: http://paulinejaricot.opm-france.org/ MASSON Catherine, Pauline Jaricot, 1799-1862 Biographie, Les Éditions du Cerf, Paris, 2019 3 FOREWARD After the positive experience of the Extraordinary Missionary Month October 2019 (EMM OCT2019) with the theme "Baptized and Sent: The Church of Christ on mission in the world", some national directorates of the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) have suggested that each year the International Secretariat of the Pontifical Missionary Union (PMU) should develop an instrument for prayer and missionary formation through commentaries and meditations on the biblical readings proposed in the daily Celebration of the Liturgy of the Eucharist during the Missionary Month of October. These reflections for the Missionary Month October 2021, only available digitally in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese, represent a first attempt to respond to these suggestions. I would also like to thank all the national directorates who collaborated on the various translations. It is above all a working tool, not an exhaustive text or established theological spiritual reflections. The reference is the Word of God proclaimed in the Liturgy and prayed in the personal and community meditation. Given to the diverse English liturgical books used in English speaking countries, the native English-speaking translator referred to the daily readings offered by the Lectionary for the Sundays in Ordinary Time of Year B and by the Lectionary for weekdays of the odd-numbered years for the month of October of the year 2021, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

    Message of the Holy Father Francis to the Pontifical Mission Societies

    N. 200521a Thursday 21.05.2020 Message of the Holy Father Francis to the Pontifical Mission Societies The following is the message sent by the Holy Father Francis to the Pontifical Mission Societies: Message of the Holy Father When they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth”. When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight (Acts 1:6-9). The Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. Nonetheless, they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs (Mk 16:19-20). Then he led them [out] as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them. As he blessed them, he parted from them and was taken up to heaven. They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and they were continually in the temple praising God (Lk 24:50-53). * * * Dear brothers and sisters, This year I had decided to participate in your annual General Assembly on Thursday, 21 May, the feast of the Ascension of the Lord.

Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honor. Stephen Spender r, We Remember Sister Dorothy Stang. After 40 years of working with the families of poor farmers in Brazil, this Sister of Notre Dame de Namur was murdered on February 12, 2005. Th e world is blessed by the memory of her life and death. Sister Dorothy did not know that she was among the “truly great.” In simplicity and joy she reached out to each day’s opportunities. Her life was lived in focused response to the grace of the ordinary – moment by moment, day by day. She traveled through the ups and downs of life with a vibrant hope. Even when the reality of evil put dread in her soul, she continued to hope because she truly believed that God is Good! Th is booklet brings us the r efl ections of people who treasure the blessedness of Sister Dorothy Stang. May these refl ections lead us to breathe in “vivid air,” signed with the memory of one who was “truly great.” May we be blessed by the memory of Sister Dorothy Stang.

    Could Saint Paul Have Been the First President of the Pontifical Mission Societies?

    Could Saint Paul have been the first President of the Pontifical Mission Societies? Fr. Karl Josef Wallner (Austria) Continental Meeting of the Nationaldirectors of Europe in Amsterdam, 13. March 2019 1. The PMS: Fundraising as instrument of Faithraising Pauline Jaricot, with the foundation of her missionary association for the propagation of faith, has created an instrument of „democratization“ of participation in the mission of the Church. While in the 16th century it were only kings and noblemen who promoted the mis- sion of the newly discovered continents, mixed with the sinful motive of colonization, in the 19th century Pauline Jaricot created a spiritual missionary movement for the whole people of God. Each individual Catholic should actively participate in the missionary work of the Church. Her motto was: „Every day a prayer, and regularly a sous for the missions.” In the “Living Rosary” she gathered more than 2 million Catholics to pray daily a decade of the ro- sary for one of the five continents. The Mission thus became a common spiritual and chari- table effort of all the faithful. She provoked a mentality of taking care of the missions. Eve- ryone was invited and everyone was able to make their own contribution. Giving prayers and giving money for the missionary work of the church became “natural” for every faithful and they were happy, that they could contribute to the growth of the church and in the sav- ing of souls. Pauline Jaricot thus anticipated in a practical way the statement of the Mission Decree of the Second Vatican Council, according to which the Church (Ad Gentes 2) as a whole is mis- sionary in nature, by giving all the baptized a concrete share in the participation in the mis- sio of the Church „ad gentes“.The enthusiasm for the support of missionaries led to a broad stream of missionary spirit in 19th century France.

    172 PARTIEl: DOCUMENTS RELATIFS À LA VIE DE LA SERVANTE DE DIEU (1774-1818) DOC. V TÉMOIGNAGEDEPAULINE-MARIEJARICOT au sujet des oeuvres de la Servante de Dieu, Claudine Thévenet, 1817. Pauline-Marie Jaricot, connue universellement comme fondatrice de la Propagation de la Foi et dont l'Église a proclamé récemment (25 février 1963) l'héroïcité des vertus, outre qu'elle a été témoin des oeuvres apostoliques de Claudine Thévenet, à partir de 1817, elle fut également sa disciple et sa collaboratrice durant quelques années. Dans ce document, nous présentons quelques extraits des nombreux écrits de Pauline ; ils constituent un témoignage imposant des vertus et des oeuvres de notre Servante de Dieu. Les familles Thévenet et Jaricot devaient s'être connues depuis longtemps. Il y avait entre elles une affinité de rang social, de coutumes, d'activités commerciales; toutes deux appar­ tenaient à la paroisse St-Nizier et vivaient non loin de cette église. Le 14 juin 1815, les relations entre les deux familles se resserrèrent lorsque Paul Jaricot, frère aîné de Pauline, épousa Jeanne-Marie-Julie Germain, soeur de François-Antoine; celui-ci, le 16 décembre 1813, avait épousé Élisabeth Steinmann, cousine de la Servante de Dieu, qui cohabitait avec elle dans la maison de la rue Masson. La signature de Paul Jaricot apparaît en effet parmi celles de la famille Thévenet dans quelques actes du Registre paroissial de St-Bruno. Pauline Jaricot nous dit dans l'Histoire de ma vie : "À 16 ans et demi, une instruction du Carême, à St-Nizier, où le prédicateur faisait au naturel la peinture d'une jeune personne qui a de la vanité me fut un coup de grâce, et je résolus par la suite de me donner entièrement à Dieu.

Rev. 7:14, “"These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” b. Tuesday evening: read handout and watch the video. c. Wednesday morning: show the video, start the livestream, and then read the handout. d. Sr. Dorothy Stang – see handout e. There is the phrase in popular Christianity today, “God will not give you more than you can handle.” This is not in the bible just like “God helps those who help themselves.” f. God frequently gives us more than we can handle, because God wants us to let go of control, just like Jesus did in Gethsemane. God gave Jesus much more than he could handle on the cross. It killed Jesus. God did the same with the martyrs throughout the history of the Church. And for the record, the norm is Jesus. He is not the exception. He calls us to follow him by taking up our cross no matter the cost. g. God’s love and protection is never from death but through death into the next life. Rev 9 – The Fifth and Sixth Trumpets a.

They do not yet understand that this experience is a precursor to Heaven. Jesus shows us that after his suffering and Death on the Cross, there will be a Resurrection. The Transfiguration is a model for Christian living. Jesus shows us that we grow through the sufferings we encounter in this life and we are transformed by them. After this life, there is an infinitely better life awaiting us if we are faithful. Lent gives us the opportunity to grow ever closer to the person Jesus wants us to be. Share Experiences Check off the boxes as you complete each part of the lesson. Pray together Talk about something your child wants to see transformed in the world and invite your child to say a prayer of petition, such as: “Creator God, help us find ways to feed hungry people.” Respond together, Loving God, hear our prayer.
