1 News from the General Procura of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri March 2009 News from the General Procura of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri March 2009 Visit to the Oratorian Community in Formation in Strasbourg 2 March 2009 From 2-5 March the Procurator General visited the priests of the Oratorian community in formation in the Archdiocese of Strasbourg, and met the Archbishop, His Excellence Jean- Pierre Grallet, as well as the Auxiliary Bishop, His Excellence Christian Kratz. Celebration in Avignon 7 March 2009 The Procurator General sent his good wishes to the Archdiocese of Avignon, France, which has announced its celebrations marking the seventh anniversary of the beginning of the residence of the Popes in that city (1309-1377). Pope Benedict XVI, in his letter ‘Septingentesimus iam appetit annus’ has nominated as his special delegate to the celebrations His Eminence Cardinal Paul Poupard. The Oratorian Family will naturally remember in connection with these celebrations the episcopal ministry in Avignon of two of the first disciples of S. Philip Neri, Francesco Maria Tarugi and Giovan Francesco Bordini. We can happily recall the words spoken of Tarugi by a contemporary: ‘To our land of Gaul Tarugi brought such a clear light of virtue that bishops came to him frequently from the most remote parts, and indeed from every corner of France, as to a model of – and therefore an inspiration for – ecclesiastical discipline. Nomination of New Bishop of Alcalá de Henares 8 March 2009 On hearing that his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI had nominated as the new Bishop of Alcalá de Henares (Spain) his Excellence Juan Antonio Reig Plá, until now Bishop of Cartagena, the Procurator General expressed to his Excellence the congratulations of the Confederation, uniting his sentiments with those of the Congregation of the Oratory in that diocese. Musical Oratory 9 March 2009 The Procurator General participated at the Chiesa Nuova, Rome, in a ‘Musical Oratory’ entitled ‘I will lead you into the desert and speak to your heart ... on a journey with Christ amidst trials and inner darkness’. The theme was a reflection on the arduous desert experience of the Jewish people in the Exodus, recounted in the Old Testament. It also drew on the tradition of the Christian mystics. They followed a path lit up by God, but one which also could be dark, arid and full of trials – in fact, features which typify any truly transforming relationship between persons. And indeed for them this was a personal pilgrimage which led to the most profound encounter possible with the Lord. Franca Salerno and Stefano Mondini read texts from the Scriptures and various spiritual authors. The Musical Academy of S. Peter’s Basilica in Rome played parts of works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Visit of the Holy Father to the Campidoglio, Rome 9 March 2009 The Procurator General thanked the Honourable Marco Pomarici, President of Rome’s city 1 Council, for having highlighted the importance of S. Philip Neri in his speech addressed to Pope Benedict XVI on the occasion of the latter’s official visit on that same day to the Campidoglio [the centre of Rome’s local government]. The Holy Father himself, speaking to those who had assembled in the Piazza del Campidoglio, had mentioned S. Philip Neri in the context of naming a number of important Roman saints. Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of Foundation of the Oratory of Rock Hill 10 March 2009 On the occasion of the forthcoming celebrations of the seventy-fifth anniversary of their foundation, the Procurator General sent a letter to the Provost of the Oratory of Rock Hill, South Carolina (U.S.A.), also transmitting the Papal Blessing which his Holiness had imparted for this important occasion. http://www.oratoriosanfilippo.org/lettera-rockhill.pdf Visit to Casarano, Lecce (South Italy) 12 March 2009 The Procurator General, who had been meeting with his Excellence Domenico Caliandro, Bishop of Nardò-Gallipoli, was also able to visit the parish Church of Saints Joseph [of Cupertino] and Saint [Padre] Pio in Casarano (Province of Lecce), where he blessed a bell dedicated to St Philip Neri. With Father Francesco Daniele he gave a presentation to the young people of the parish on S. Philip, ‘Prophet of Christian Joy’. Day dedicated to Monsignor Arista 14 March 2009 The Procurator General participated in the annual day for the Beatification of Giovanni Battista Arista at Acireale (Province of Catania, Sicily). He presided at the evening Mass in the Church of the Oratory and chaired a symposium on the Servant of God. His Excellence Ignazio Cannavò, Archbishop Emeritus of Messina, gave a paper on the work of Monsignor Arista in the aftermath of the earthquake of 1908, and the Orionine Father Giuseppe Risceglie talked about the friendship of Arista with Saint Luigi Orione. Representing the diocesan Bishop His Excellence Pio Vittorio Vigo, Bishop Giuseppe Malandrino presided at the Sunday Mass. In greeting the participants, the Procurator General underlined how the theme of the meeting - ‘Caritas Christi urget nos’ - whilst expressing the spirit of both Saint Luigi Orione and of the Venerabile Giovanni Battista Arista, also encapsulates the core of the present ‘Year of St Paul [the Apostle]’: Charity is the fulness of life for the disciple of Christ, who is the God of love who was made man out of love for man, a truth that Benedict XVI has so strikingly drawn attention to in his encyclical Deus Caritas Est. Expression of fedelty to the Holy Father 14 March 2009 The Procurator General, visting Acireale [Sicily] for the annual commemoration in honour of the Venerable Giovanni Battista Arista [1862-1920, 2nd bishop of Acireale, Oratorian] concluded his speech with some words reaffirming the fedelity of the Oratory to the Holy Father: ‘To his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI I wish to express, here in his house sanctified by the presence of Monsignor Arista, champion of Christian charity and zealous testimony of love for the Pope, the devotion of the Oratory for the person of the Vicar of Christ. The Pope’s magisterium, expressed in words and deeds, with his profundity and breadth of teaching, and 2 the actions and decisions that spring from it, is welcomed by the sons of S. Philip Neri with the same adhesion of faith and love which our Holy Founder and his best disciples have shown over the centuries. I thank the Holy Father for the precious letter which he sent to the Bishops of the Church two days ago, and I express to him the fedelty of the Oratory to his wishes, and their filial sympathy after the suffering brought upon him by the attitude – even from some within the Church – of incomprehension and of superficialty. With Monsignor Arista, who was always firm in his love for the Church and the Pope, I say with strength and sincerity: long live the Pope!’ Commemoration of the Miracle of S. Philpi Neri 16 March 2009 The Procurator General was represented at the Palazzo Massimo in Rome by Father Ronald Creighton-Jobe, of the Oratory of London. The day saw the solemn annual celebrations of the anniversary of the miracle of S. Philip Neri. Father Creighton-Jobe presented to the Massimo family the respects of the Procurator. Beginning of the ‘Year of Priests’ 16 March 2009 The Procurator General transmitted the following note of the Press Office of the Holy See: ‘On the occasion of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the death of the Curé d’Ars, S. John Mary Vianney, His Holiness has announced this morning that, from 19 June 2009 to the 19 June 2010, there will be a special Year for Priests, which will have as its theme: ‘Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of Priests’. The Holy Father will open this year with the celebration of Vespers on 19 June this year, solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Day for the sanctification of priests, in the presence of the relics of the Curé d’Ars brought to Rome by the Bishop of Belley-Ars. The Year will close on 19 June 2010 in context of a ‘world meeting of priests’ in S. Peter’s Square in Rome. During this Jubilee Year Benedict XVI will proclaim S. John Mary Vianney the “Patron of all the Priests of the World”. In addition, a ‘Directory for Confessors and Spiritual Directors’ will be published, along with a collection of the magisterium of Benedict XVI on the themes of the life and mission of priests at the present time. The Congregation for the Clergy, working with diocesan Ordinaries and the Superiors of religious institutes, will seek to promote and co-ordinate the various spiritual and pastoral initiatives undertaken during the year, in order to foster ever more an appreciation of the importance of the role and mission of priests in the Church and in contemporary society, as well as the necessity of strengthening their ongoing formation, connecting it with the formation of seminarians. Visit to the Oratory of Palermo 16 March 2009 On 16-17 March, the Procurator General visited the Oratory of Palermo in Italy, and met the Archbishop, His Excellence Paolo Romeo. Symposium ‘From the document to the monument’ 22 March 2009 The Procura General expressed satisfaction at the invitation sent by the Regional Government of Lazio to the Archive of the Congregation of the Oratory at Rome to participate in a symposium it has organised, in which Dr Alberto Bianco, the Director of the Archive, will give a 3 presentation on the refurbishment and reordering work on the Archive, begun in 2006 with public finance, and recognised by the authorities as the best recent work of its type. Recalling that the Archive of the Congregation of Rome is of fundmental importance for research into Oratorian history, and, as such, of great value for the whole Confederation, the Procura General draws attention to the official website of the Archive at www.aco-roma.org and also to an interview with Dr Bianco at http://www.oratoriosanfilippo.org/archivio- english.pdf.

The five offices of the breviary are: “Office of Readings, said near to dawn if possible, Morning prayer (sometimes called Lauds) said before 9am, Midday prayer (sometimes called Terce, Sext or None depending on the hours it is celebrated) said from midday to 3pm, Evening prayer (sometimes called Vespers) said around beginning of evening and Night prayer (sometimes called Compline because it completes the day ) said before going to bed. The times for saying them are quite flexible and some priests if they have to go out all day, say them all together early, or if they come back very late say them all together at night time! Ideally they should be celebrated at the hour of the day they represent.

  • 1 | Page This Is My Second Article on Pope Francis As Being The
    This is my second article on Pope Francis as being the Antichrist pope. My first article and video online about 2 years ago is entitled, "Pope Francis: the Antipope of History?" I used a question mark at that time, because I was exploring the possibility that he was an anti-pope, but now I'm definitely sure that he is. I feel that it is my duty as a Catholic to warn the whole world that Francis is an invalid pope, that Benedict was forced out against his will, even though he protests that he did this "in full freedom.'' Yet the fact remains that there is ample proof of his ouster. Archbishop Luigi Negri [now retired] of the Francis: A Communist Anti-pope "The Brown Bear [Russia] will manipulate the White Bear [Anti- Pope Francis]. Therefore, you must not permit the White Bear to take over the Seat of Peter by the assassination of John Paul II." - Our Lady at Bayside Vigil, December 24, 1979 archdicese of Ferrara-Comacchio, a friend of Pope Benedict, who has visited him "several times" since his resignation in February 2013, claims that Benedict resigned under "extreme pressure." There is a group of bishops and cardinals that had been meeting secretly since 1996 in the small cathedral town of Sankt-Gallen, Switzerland, to oppose the election of Cardinal Ratzinger to the papacy, and to throw its support behind Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who wished to "modernize" the Church, just as they did. By "modernize," they meant to change Church teaching on such things as abortion and homosexuality, to allow Holy Communion administered to couples after divorce and remarriage outside the Church, etc; the first two are both sins crying to Heaven for vengeance, and condemned by the Church for two thousand years.

  • Guidelines for Choosing a Confirmation Name 1
    Guidelines for Choosing a Confirmation Name 1. Confirmation candidates should choose a saint’s name, the name of a biblical hero, or the name of a virtuous person they admire (living or deceased) as their Confirmation name. 2. The name must not contain any derivative of the name of Satan or the devil (For example, Satana or Devila). 3. Confirmation candidates may use their Baptismal name. Because Confirmation is the completion of our Baptism, it is an opportunity to reaffirm our initiation and to strengthen the connection between these two sacraments by using again their Baptismal name. 4. It is permissible for a Confirmation candidate to choose the name of a person who is in the process of canonization (For example, Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos or Venerable Fulton Sheen) CHOOSING A CONFIRMATION SAINT We choose a Confirmation saint because we realize how unfortunate it would be to travel alone. The saints have so much to teach us about this journey. The following list is for you to use as a starting point to assist your child in choosing a “Confirmation saint-buddy.” Have your child pick a saint who speaks to them. Know their story, but mostly know the power of their prayer to this saint. Encourage your child to include praying to this saint as part of their prayer life. I) “Superhero” Saints! The “superpowers” of these saints were not the result of a scientific accident or alien power. These people were simply receptive to the mighty power of God. These following saint stories are incredibly heroic! St. Mary, the Mother of God St.

    FORMAZIONE AL CARISMA 1^ TAPPA INTRODUZIONEAL CARISMA ORIONINO Fascicolo 2 SAN LUIGI ORIONE Cenni biografici… Le Origini Luigi Orione nasce a Pontecurone (AL) il 23 giugno 1872 da umile famiglia. Il padre Vittorio è selciatore di strade. In gioventù è stato soldato tra le truppe di Garibaldi. Uomo dal carattere pratico e piuttosto rude. La madre Carolina è casalinga. Donna pia e laboriosa che educa i figli alla fede. L’indole Luigi diventerà un santo che sintetizza i tratti delle figure genitoriali. Lo spirito di fede ricevuto dalla madre ne farà un vero contemplativo. L’intraprendenza coraggiosa ereditata dal padre lo porterà ad essere sempre in prima linea. 2 Fin da bambino nutrì una grandissima devozione alla Madonna; sentimento che lo accompagnerà per tutta la vita. I fiori raccolti nei prati diventavano per il piccolo Luigi il suo personale omaggio a Maria 3 Ma accanto ai teneri sentimenti spirituali, ebbe presto modo di sperimentare il duro lavoro manuale accanto al papà lungo le strade del Piemonte, caldissime d’estate e rigide d’ inverno. 4 All’età di 13 anni lascia la famiglia per entrare nel convento dai cappuccini di Voghera: era suo desiderio diventare frate. Ma la vocazione a seguire San Francesco viene infranta da una improvvisa malattia che lo riduce in fine di vita. Sul letto dell’infermeria il ragazzo ha una visione: una lunga fila di giovani preti in cotta bianchissima gli viene incontro sorridente. Più tardi capirà che si trattava di un sogno premonitore che gli preannunciava la fondazione di una Congregazione religiosa. 5 Nell’aprile del 1886 deve lasciare il Convento.

  • Documented Chronicle of the LAST FEW DAYS of SAN LUIGI ORIONE by Alessandro Belano SDP
    Documented chronicle of THE LAST FEW DAYS OF SAN LUIGI ORIONE by Alessandro Belano SDP Wednesday, March 6, 1940 [On 9 February 1940 Don Luigi Orione was hit by a serious attack of angina pectoris in Tortona. On this occasion, he receives the Anointing of the sick, then slowly recovers, but, after about a month, it is not yet fully restored. The doctors who treat him suggest a rest in San Remo, so that the healthy climate of the Ligurian town can benefit his health]. At dawn on Wednesday March 6, the eve of his departure for San Remo, Don Luigi Orione went to the Cathedral from the Mother House of Tortona, in a car driven by his Co-brother Don Adriano Calegari. Before leaving, he wants to pay homage to the urn of San Marziano, patron of the city, whose liturgical memory occurs on that day. For a few minutes he remains in prayer near the urn of the Saint. Immediately afterwards, still in the car, Don Orione goes to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Safe Keeping: «Let's go and say goodbye to Our Lady!», he says to the driver. He goes to the right end of the balustrade of the high altar, then kneels and remains for a few minutes in prayer. Returning to the Mother House, Don Orione celebrates Mass at the community. Talk about San Marciano and mention some personal memories. At noon, Don Orione comes to the refectory to have lunch with the community. Some clerics take the wooden statue of our Lady of of Divine Providence, the Marian statue venerated in the first college opened by the founder in the San Bernardino district, and place it on the table in front of him.
