Instead, we struggle and resist like self-willed slaves and are brought into the Lord’s presence with sorrow and lamentation, not freely consenting to our departure, but constrained by necessity. And yet we expect to be rewarded with heavenly honors by him to whom we come against our will! Why then do we pray for the kingdom of heaven to come if this earthly bondage pleases us? What is the point of praying so often for its early arrival if we should rather serve the devil here than reign with Christ?

  • Opening and Blessings at Acu
    OPENING AND BLESSINGS AT ACU Australian Catholic University (ACU) recently consecrated the new St Thomas Aquinas Chapel and blessed the Catherine of Siena Centre on the Ballarat Campus. Bishop Paul Bird CSsR, presided over the consecration and blessed the facilities, together with ACU Campus Chaplain, Fr James Kerr and ACU Director of Identity and Mission, Fr Anthony Casamento CSMA. The Catherine of Siena Centre reflects both our rich past and exciting future. The Centre is a combination of four heritage houses, which still have their original frontages facing Ripon Street in order to keep in character with the neighbourhood and there is a very modern façade fronting the Campus. Morton Dunn Architects are responsible for the innovative design and the works were carried out by Page Constructions. The end result is an extremely functional space for the Schools of Education, Arts and Theology and Philosophy. The building is named after St Catherine of Siena, a teacher in the Dominican Order and a Scholastic philosopher and theologian. It is also named after Sister Catherine of Siena, a Sister of Mercy in Ballarat. The naming of this Centre represents both Catherine of Siena and Sister Catherine of Siena and the Mercy tradition over Fr James Kerr, Bishop Paul Bird CSsR and Fr Anthony Casamento one hundred years. CSMA. Photograph supplied by Ian Wilson Photography. Over the past twelve months the St Thomas of Aquinas Chapel at the Ballarat Campus has also undergone a major transformation. Central to the improvements are high, stained-glass windows that create a stunning effect by activating the space with coloured light throughout the day.

  • Saint Catherine of Siena
    SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENA Benedict XVI’s reflection on the great saint and Doctor of the Church in 2010. Our catechesis today deals with Saint Catherine of Siena, a Dominican tertiary, a woman of great holiness and a Doctor of the Church. Catherine’s spiritual teachings are centered on our union with Christ, the bridge between earth and heaven. Her own virginal entrustment to Christ the Bridegroom was reflected in her celebrated visions. Catherine’s life also shows us the importance of the spiritual maternity exercised by so many women in every age. From this great saint let us learn to grow in holiness, love for the Lord and fidelity to his body, the Church. Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I would like to speak to you about a woman who has had an eminent role in the history of the Church. She is St. Catherine of Siena. The century in which she lived — the 14th — was a troubled time for the life of the Church and for the whole social fabric in Italy and Europe. However, even in the moments of greatest difficulty, the Lord does not cease to bless his People, raising men and women saints who stir minds and hearts, bringing about conversion and renewal. Catherine is one of these and still today she speaks to us and pushes us to walk courageously toward sanctity to be disciples of the Lord in an ever fuller sense. Born in Siena in 1347 to a very numerous family, she died in her native city in 1380. At 16, moved by a vision of St.

OPUS DEi AND ITS ARRIVAL IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND • A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Religious Studies at Massey University. Marina Middelplaats 2001 Some biographers of saints have in the past been interested only in highlighting extraordinary things in the lives of God's serv­ ants, from even their earliest days in the cradle. They have, unintentionally perhaps, done a disservice to christian truth. They even said of some of them that as babies they did not cry, nor drink their mother's mi lk on Fridays, out of a spirit of pen­ ance. You and I came into this world crying our heads off, and we most assuredly drank our milk in total disregard for fasts and ember days. -Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, Christ is Passing By, 1974:26.

    OPUS DEI (Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, simply) OPUS DEI (Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, simply) OPUS DEI (Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, simply). Opus Dei is an institution of the Catholic Church whose mission is to put into practice the doctrine of the universal call to holiness and to promote among people of all social classes the sanctification of professional work in the circumstances of ordinary life. Its legal status is that of a personal prelature, the Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei or simply Opus Dei. In other words, it is a universal hierarchical institution of the prelature type, as provided for in the Second Vatican Council, established to undertake special pastoral tasks and endowed with its own statutes. Through the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, an association of clerics intrinsically linked to the prelature, it helps diocesan priests live the doctrine of the universal call to holiness in the exercise of their holy ministry.

  • St. Francis De Sales Catholic School
    Durham Catholic District School Board St. Francis de Sales Catholic School Motto: “Inflame Our Hearts with Your Love” In the Beginning In 1893, Father Vincent McGivney called a meeting to start a Separate School Board in Pickering for the children of the parish families of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church. The provisional Board of Trustees consisted of P.J. McCabe, Arthur O’Connor and Peter Kaiser. Two months later, a public meeting was called to announce the establishment of the Pickering Village Separate School Board. Soon afterwards, the Board was able to obtain the land next to the church to build St. Francis de Sales Catholic Elementary School. The land was originally the location of the church rectory until it burned down in 1913. A three-room school was built beside the church in 1953 at a cost of $35,100. It was the first school built in the area. The first principal was Mr. W.J. Cooper (now a retired superintendent) and the first teachers were Miss M. Weir, Miss M. Harrigan and Miss E. McGee. 1 In 1954, two classes were added at the cost of $25,000. 1959, the school board was able to purchase two and a half acres of land behind the school from Anglican Synod, and four new classrooms were built at a cost of $68,200. There was a significant increase from 1953 to 1965 in the number of students and teachers and in the school structure itself. The 1965–1966 staff consisted of nine teachers, one principal, one vice-principal, one secretary and one custodian.

  • St Teresa of Avila St Teresa of Avila (Also Known As St Teresa of Jesus) Was Born in 1518 in the Province of Avila, Spain
    StSt TeresaTeresa ofof AvilaAvila Feast day ~15th October St Teresa of Avila St Teresa of Avila (also known as St Teresa of Jesus) was born in 1518 in the province of Avila, Spain. Her mother was keen for Teresa to be a pious Christian and Teresa enjoyed learning about the lives of the saints. When Teresa was only fourteen, her mother died, and Teresa found comfort in devotion to Mary – Our Lady - as her spiritual mother. Teresa was sent to be educated by Augustinian nuns at Avila, but was often ill there and became worried about being a sinner. Then Teresa began to have visions, including sights of an angel and feeling the presence of Jesus. In 1535, Teresa entered a Carmelite convent, to become a nun. She was surprised to find that the other nuns were not keeping to the rules of religious life, and were entertaining many inappropriate visitors. Teresa decided to start a new, reformed Carmelite convent where the nuns would live a life of poverty, with stricter rules. This idea spread and other reformed convents opened. Then Teresa, with the help of St John of the Cross, established two houses for men who wanted to follow the same, reformed, way of life. Teresa and her friends encountered some opposition to their new ideas, but eventually the King supported her. In the last three years of her life, Teresa founded more reformed convents. She died in 1582 on the 15th of October – which is her feast day. In 1617 Teresa was made Patroness of Spain, and in 1622 she was canonised by Pope Gregory XV.

  • The Place to Be Sbcm.Co.Uk Bede’S News Senior College
    Bede’s News 30 April 2021 Theme of the Week HEADTEACHER’S MESSAGE My highlights of the week have included attending the Eucharistic Service, which was led by our Upper Third pupils and celebrating the feast day of St Catherine of Siena on Thursday. Enjoy your weekend Mrs S Pike Headteacher St Bede’s College The place to be sbcm.co.uk Bede’s News Senior College St Catherine of Siena Feast Day This Thursday, 29 April, was the Feast Day of Saint Catherine of Siena. In a normal year we would celebrate this together as a House, enjoying a service and reflection in our beautiful chapel. This year is, of course, not a normal year. Owing to bubbles we couldn’t meet as a House. Instead we looked to bring some joy and colour to a Thursday afternoon. In addition to a lovely video produced by our pupils and marvellously edited by Mrs Hibbert, pupils and staff from all years and Houses, including the Prep, were invited to take part in our festivities and activities at lunchtime. They wrote positive messages on a reflection wall and attached prayers onto the cage, to create a wall of yellow ribbon. You can see some of the wonderful messages of encouragement and compassion which came from our excellent pupils. With a crack of sunshine, some upbeat music, and plenty of orange squash, it created a joyous atmosphere and one which appropriately encapsulated the passionate life and work of Catherine of Siena. She was woman fiercely dedicated to the Church, willing to go against the orthodoxy of the time and always prepared to serve others.
