Christian life has little to do with me doing anything right. It has everything to do with falling in love with a Lover who always does everything right. I am invited to love that Lover, not my own accomplishments; not to be surprised or unduly humiliated by my own failures.

Aug/Sept 2010 3 From the Editor… “Go out into the whole world, proclaim the Good News to all Fr Ulic Troy creation.” (Mark 16:15 ) Preaching the Gospel in faraway lands has been a feature of the life of the Franciscan Order from the time of St Francis. St Francis sent his brothers away to preach even when the numbers in the Order were few. Today the General Constitutions of the Franciscan Order state that “all the friars are to share in the task of evangelisation that belongs to the whole Church. After the example of St Francis, they are to be ready to receive the inspi - ration of the Lord.” The Irish Franciscan Province has a long tradition in this area of what has been called the “foreign missions.” In the past century Irish friars have carried the Good News of Jesus Christ to Australia, China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Chile, Central America and Bolivia. Individual friars have worked for the Gospel in many other lands, too. The month of October is the month of universal mission in the Catholic Church. This year we decided to celebrate Franciscan Mission Day on 19th July in all our friaries here in Ireland. The purpose of so doing was simply to give thanks to God for all the graces He has given to all our friars – those who have gone to God and those still living with us – by calling them to be Heralds of the Good News of Jesus Christ. On this occasion we also wanted to thank you for your constant prayers, support and your collaboration with us in bringing the Good News to those who have not heard the Christian message and, at the same time, helping to build up the young local Churches in different parts of the world. On behalf of the Franciscan Province of Ireland and that of all our missionaries, all those sisters and brothers who collaborate with us, and the people that they minister to and work with, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of you for your overwhelming support. You have truly changed the lives of many, allowing our Franciscan brothers and sisters to give dignity and a better quality of life to those who need it most. It goes without saying that without your generous assistance many of the projects that have taken place in the past and the work that is taking place at present could not have materialised. Here I think of the churches, hospitals, clinics, schools, workshops that have been built down through the years. I think of the large number of young people who have been formed and educated for the religious and priestly life. I am deeply conscious of the many young men and women in the countries that we minister in who have availed of the education that was provided. All of this took place because of your great generosity. As we go to print with this edition of the Custodial Chapter of all the friars in Zimbabwe is St Anthony Brief taking place in Harare, under the leadership of our Provincial and Vicar Provincial, Caoimhín Ó Laoide and Hugh McKenna. They will review what happened in the past three years while at the same time making plans for the years ahead. We pray that the Holy Spirit will be with them in their deliberations. To all those elected to office and given the task of bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who are poor: we pray that God will give you all the graces and blessings that you need, and that you will be ready to reach out and discover new ways of evangelising and helping the long-suffering people of God in that country. Gentle reader, I would ask that you always keep our missionaries in your thoughts and prayers, as this spiritual support can give great comfort and encouragement, particularly in difficult times and in dangerous parts of the world. May God bless each one of you for your unwavering support and much needed prayers; be assured that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. – Ulic Troy, OFM ([email protected]) St Anthony Brief 4 been arriving with bottles of water and objects to be blessed, secret intentions harpeville to be cared for and infirmities to be healed. Our theme is from Acts 5:32: "We are witnesses to these things – we S and the Holy Spirit.” Pentecost Finally the preliminary devotions are completed and I welcome all explaining the purpose and theme of the vigil. An Fr Paddy Noonan, OFM, initial rite of blessings follows. In different languages we bless water, recalls a powerful all-night vigil in a crosses, salt, incense, staffs and other South African township when the country sacramentals. Many from other churches were present and wanted their objects was still not free of apartheid. blessed by the "Roman" priests – the “Mother Church” as they say. There is a huge element of emotion as myself and the deacon, my Franciscan colleague Sizwe Mkonza, walk through the massive throng showering all with the newly blessed water. Hundreds of privately owned water containers are thrust into the air to receive the blessings and sprinkling of holy water. You need to be armed against sickness, fever, wandering demons and witchcraft in this complicated and confusing world. In the western world these things have different names. Reconciliation The service now becomes more solemn. A reader reads to a rapt audience that very direct piece of sacred Scripture from Romans 8:22-27 about seriously changing our lives. Our theme for this section, the beginning of Mass, is the parable of the Good Father, sometimes called the Prodigal Son, using the popular slogan: "Come home to the Father’s house."

    Volume 24, Issue 3 — September 8, 2019 September 8, 2019 Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary To the Members of the United States Association of Consecrated Virgins, One of the greatest challenges of celibates and virgins is to realize the primordial challenge from God that we be fertile and multiply. For us, the first part of responding to this challenge is to imagine how this is even possible. Obviously, this will be accomplished as a spiritual fecundity. Our life of prayer for the Church and the world, both in general and in particular is a primary way to fulfill this duty. Are there other ways? This will depend on our method of “living in the world.” Whatever it is that we do, be it Church work or completely secular labor, there we encounter fertile soil. Each of us then must determine how best we can help the Word of God take root, both by our example and by our words. God will give the increase, but we must plant seeds.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.

  • Our Lady of Good Counsel
    Our Lady of Good Counsel According to tradition, in the year 1467, in the midst of the festivities for the Feast of Saint Mark, the townfolk suddenly heard "exquisite music." A mysterious cloud was then said to have descended and obliterated an unfinished wall of the parish church. In front of the populace, the cloud dissipated and a beautiful fresco, no thicker than a carte-de-visite and no more than eighteen inches square, of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child was revealed. It was widely believed that it had been miraculously transported from a church in Scutari, Albania. On November 17, 1682, Pope Innocent XI had the picture solemnly crowned. In 1753, Pope Benedict XIV established the Pious Union of Our Lady of Good Counsel. More than any other pope, Leo XIII, was deeply attached to this devotion. On April 22, 1903, that same Pope included the invocation "Mater boni consilii" in the Litany of Loreto. In 1939, Venerable Pope Pius XII placed his pontificate under the maternal care of Our Lady of Good Counsel and composed a prayer to her. Her feast is celebrated on April 26th. Our Lady of Aparecida Our Lady of Aparecida appeared to 3 fishermen in Brazil (Domingos Garcia, Filipe Pedroso, and João Alves) in October 1717. The fishermen prayed to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception that God would grant a good catch. The fishermen, having a run of bad luck, cast their nets in the River Paraiba and dragged up a headless statue of the Virgin Mary. They also salvaged the head and, according to the legend, then netted plenty of fish.

AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Delancey William Heathcote, D.D., bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the diocese of Western New York, was born in Westchester County, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1797; graduated at Yale College in 1817, and was ordained deacon in 1819. His first ministerial labor was given to Grace Church, New York, of which he was in charge during the vacancy of the rectorship which preceded that of the Rev. Dr. Wainwright. He then officiated for a short time in the newly- organized parish of St. Thomas’s, Mamaroneck. Having been advanced to the priesthood on March 6, 1822, in Trinity Church, New York, he removed to the city of Philadelphia, where he became an assistant minister of the united churches of Christ Church, St. Peter’s, and St. James’s, of which bishop White was then rector. In 1828 he was appointed Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1833 he became assistant minister of St. Peter’s Church of Philadelphia, and in 1837 rector. When the diocese of New York was divided in 1838, Dr. Delancey was elected the first bishop of the new diocese of Western New York.

Notably, the messages specifically request reparation for sins which offend the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and link this reparation to the Holy Eucharist—and, by implication, to Christ’s Heart present therein.

In its attempt to be comprehensive, the book has to sacrifice a lot of depth. Except for some exceptional parts like the treatment on wealth (Maha- laga Ba ang Kayamanan?), most topics are oversimplified. Sartre's Existential- ism with its notion of freedom is presented as very similar to Thomism and Aristotle - to the neglect of Existentialism's emphasis on feeling. Marx is reduced to several paragraphs, centered on the problem of which is more important, environment or man's freedom? (Phenomenologists will certainly react to this false dichotomy!) With some additions on Chinese ethics in Chapter I1 and the problem of evil in Chapter 111, this book would make a good textbook for a course on a general introduction to Philosophy in Pilipino.

The term is thus in itself nearly equivalent to ““transmission,” like the Latin traditio-Massora, for which last, indeed, the Talmud makes it interchangeable in the statement, “Moses received (lBeqæ) the Law of Mount Sinai, and transmitted (rsim;) it to Joshua.” The difference between it, however, and the word hr;/Smi (from rsim;, to deliver) is, that the former expresses the act of receiving, while the latter denotes the act of giving over, surrendering, transmitting.
