Shalom Media USA Inc, 211 East Wisconsin Road, Edinburg, Texas 78539 | office: (215) 366-3031 | email: [email protected] www.ShalomWorld.org EDITORIAL NOTE THE SECRET OF GROWTH lessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta once shared an incident in her life. Mother came to know that a Hindu family living near the convent was starving, having had no food to eat for three Bdays. When she heard this, Mother Teresa immediately took some rice that was already prepared for dinner in the convent and rushed to the home of the Hindu family. Their house was dilapidated. There, Mother saw the faces of starving children. She gave the rice to the grief-stricken mother. The mother accepted the rice and went out into the courtyard saying, “Sister, I will be back soon.” Mother Teresa remained at the home wondering where the woman could have gone before feeding her starving children. When she returned, she explained to Mother, “Sister, just like us, a neighboring Muslim family has also been starving for the last three days. I went to give them a portion of the rice you brought for us.” In this poor woman, Mother Teresa saw greater charity than was in her own heart. We sometimes say, “If I had some more [money, food, stuff, etc.], I could share it with others” or “What I have is not even enough for me.” This is the attitude of so many of us. The poor woman in Mother Teresa’s story, however, is proof that we are all able to help others, regardless of the limitations that we face. Those of us who are unwilling to give to others from the little that we have will also find it difficult to give when we have more. Likewise, those who do not have the time now to spend with God will never get the time to be with Him later. When we are willing to give, God will entrust us with more. This truth is very much applicable in our spiritual life and in our ministerial works. Those who give are the ones who grow. Those who are not ready to lose anything will be unable to do anything for God. Those who are not ready to give to God their time and talent show that they do not desire to grow spiritually. Their prayers will be futile and their desire for graces will not come to fruition. What we are given is meant to be shared with others. How much can we give?—that is the criterion for our spiritual growth. Jesus said: “Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you” (Luke 6:38). Prayer: Lord, we understand that it is sometimes selfishness which motivates our spiritual quest. “What will I get?” is often our concern. Only when we begin to think, “What can I do for others?” will we rise from a worldly person into a spiritual person. Lord, everything we have, we have received from You. What You have given to us is meant to be shared with others. We are sorry for having used our gifts selfishly. God, give us the grace to build up the Kingdom of God by freely sharing what we have with others. Amen.

She was not even a baptized Catholic. Her determination to get to the Holy Sacrifice has stayed with me all these years. I am spoiled—my homeland is Singapore, where there is usually a Catholic church within a few minutes’ drive or a short bus ride away, depending on where you live in our small city-state. Masses are offered every day at dawn, noon, and sunset, and we have several perpetual adoration chapels, as well as various well-attended novenas. At the Australian Catholic liberal arts college I am attending, we have Mass on campus twice a day every weekday (but not on Sundays, in order to encourage us to go out and participate in the wider community). Excuses, Excuses Every Mass is a taste of Heaven—and Heaven is out of this world. Mass is Yet, especially as an introvert, I have often been tempted meant to be different than everyday life.

INDEX ROMAN CATHOLICISM CATHOLICISM 312 CE October 28: Our favorite pushy people, the Romans, met at Augusta Taurinorum in northern Italy some even pushier people, to wit the legions of Constantine the Great — and the outcome of this would be an entirely new Pax Romana. While about to do battle against the legions of Maxentius which outnumbered his own 4 to 1, Constantine had a vision in which he saw a compound symbol (chi and rho , the beginning of ) appearing in the cloudy heavens,1 and heard “Under this sign you will be victorious.” He placed the symbol on his helmet and on the shields of his soldiers, and Maxentius’s horse threw him into the water at Milvan (Mulvian) Bridge and the Roman commander was drowned (what more could one ask God for?). 1. In a timeframe in which no real distinction was being made between astrology and astronomy, you will note, seeing a sign like this in the heavens may be classed as astronomy quite as readily as it may be classed as astrology.

GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP —> ROSE HAWTHORNE “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Rose Hawthorne HDT WHAT? INDEX ROSE HAWTHORNE MOTHER MARY ALPHONSA 1851 May 20, Tuesday: At the “little Red House” in Lenox, Massachusetts, Rose Hawthorne was born to Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. At least subsequent to this period, it seems likely that Nathaniel and Sophia no longer had sexual intercourse, as Nathaniel has been characterized by one of his contemporaries as deficient “in the power or the will to show his love. He is the most undemonstrative person I ever knew, without any exception. It is quite impossible for me to imagine his bestowing the slightest caress upon Mrs. Hawthorne.” Sophia once commented about her husband that he “hates to be touched more than anyone I ever knew.” Presumably the Hawthornes gave up sexual intercourse for purposes of contraception, or perhaps because they found solitary or mutual masturbation to be more congenial, or perhaps, in Nathaniel’s case, because he preferred to have sex with prostitutes, a social practice of the times which Hawthorne referred to as “his illegitimate embraces,” rather than go to the trouble of arranging “blissful interviews” with his wife.1 Hawthorne was bothered by the presence of children, and after the birth of Rose would speak bitterly of the parent’s “duty to sacrifice all the green margin of our lives to these children” towards which he never felt the slightest “natural partiality”: [T]hey have to prove their claim to all the affection they get; and I believe I could love other people’s children better than mine, if I felt they deserved it more.

  • St. Thérèse and St. Alphonsa, a Comparative Study
    TERESIANUM 1-2009 OK 14-07-2009 9:22 Pagina 125 Teresianum 60 (2009) 125-144 St. Thérèse and St. Alphonsa, a Comparative Study SUNNY MANIAKKUNNEL, OCD On September 12, 2008 while the Synod of Bishops was going on in Rome, the Holy Father Benedict XVI, canonized Blessed Alphon- sa, the first woman Indian saint. The celebration was participated by many cardinals, bishops who were present for the Synod, and thou- sands of the people from all over the world. God gave India a saint who suffered much like St. Thérèse all through her life. Alphonsa’s canonization took place at a time when Indian Christians, who make up just over two percent of India’s billion-plus population, have come under fresh attacks from Hindu fundamentalist groups. It seems that St. Alphonsa who is also called the Little Flower of India would encourage the missionaries and Christians in the midst of their per- secution. Here we are trying to understand the life and spirituality of St. Alphonsa which had great similarity with St. Thérèse. Short biography Annakutty Muttathupadathu who became known as Alphonsa was born as the fourth child of Joseph and Mary of Muttathupadathu on August 19, 1910 at Kudamalur, Kerala, in the diocese of Changanacherry. Her father Joseph known as a Kuttan Vaidhyan was a traditional Indian doctor of Ayurdeva1 while her mother Mary was an ordinary house wife.2 Eight days after her birth she was baptized and she was given the name Annakutty, a diminutive of Anne. Her mother died three months after giving birth to Annakutty.
