  • A Name Identifies You in a Unique Way, Not Just Your Physical Self, but Who You Are As Person
    CHOOSING A CONFIRMATION NAME. A name identifies you in a unique way, not just your physical self, but who you are as person. One of the traditional practices in the Church at the time of Confirmation is choosing a name that will remind you of this sacrament. Your prayerful reflection will help you determine that name. You might want to recommit yourself to your baptismal name since it expresses the relationship that exist between these two sacraments, especially after you reflect on its meaning and discover some of the people who shared your name in Christian history. You might want to choose the name of a saint who represents the type of Cristian you wish to be. It is important to learn as much as you can about your patron saint. After all, you are asking this saint to be your friend and advocate for the rest of your life. Whether you decide to stay with your baptismal name or pick a new name, take the time to research and explore the root meaning of the name, for as Scripture says: “Yahweh calls each of us by name”. One of the most beautiful parts of your journey towards confirmation is choosing a patron saint, one of the great saints of our Church whose life in Christ is one that inspires you and calls you to be an ardent and radiant catholic. The saint are not just people who lived long ago! Moreover, they are alive in heaven now, totally present in our lives through God’s grace and their prayers.

  • The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret
    Saint Anthony Mary Claret AUTOBIOGRAPHY Edited by JOSÉ MARIA VIÑAS, CMF Director Studium Claretianum Rome Forward by ALFRED ESPOSITO, CMF Claretian Publications Chicago, 1976 FOREWORD The General Prefecture for Religious Life has for some time wanted to bring out a pocket edition of the Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret to enable all Claretians to enjoy the benefit of personal contact with the most authentic source of our charism and spirit. Without discounting the value of consulting other editions, it was felt there was a real need to make this basic text fully available to all Claretians. The need seemed all the more pressing in view of the assessment of the General Chapter of 1973: "Although, on the one hand, the essential elements and rationale of our charism are sufficiently explicit and well defined in the declarations 'On the Charism of our Founder' and 'On the Spiritual Heritage of the Congregation' (1967), on the other hand, they do not seem to have been sufficiently assimilated personally or communitarily, or fully integrated into our life" (cf. RL, 7, a and b). Our Claretian family's inner need to become vitally aware of its own charism is a matter that concerns the whole Church. Pope Paul's motu proprio "Ecclesiae Sanctae" prescribes that "for the betterment of the Church itself, religious institutes should strive to achieve an authentic understanding of their original spirit, so that adhering to it faithfully in their decisions for adaptation, religious life may be purified of elements that are foreign to it and freed from whatever is outdated" (II, 16, 3).

Claret speaks of hisA companions as those who have received the same spirit that encouraged him (cf. Aut 489). We are Claretians because we have also received that same spirit to proclaim the Gospel today. A closer contact with our Founder and with the history of the Congregation will help us fan the flames of our missionary spirit and find urgent, timely and effective ways to carry out our mission in the times in which we are living. Fidelity to our roots and openness to new realities, demand a fruitful relationship with the elder Claretians who walked before us. Pope Francis, addressing consecrated men and women, reminded us of the importance of this mutual relationship: For if the young are called to open new doors, the elderly hold the keys. An institute remains youthful by going back to its roots, by listening to its older members.

  • Biography of S. Anthony Mary Claret
    Biography of S. Anthony Mary Claret Childhood St. Anthony Mary Claret was born in Catalonia, the northeastern corner of Spain, in a town called Sallent on December 23, 1807. He was the fifth son of Juan Claret and Josefa Clará's eleven children. His father owned a small textile factory, but was not rich. Anthony grew up in a Christian environment, and at a very early age had a strong sense of the eternal life that Christ wanted all men and women to enjoy. He wanted to spare sinners eternal unhappiness, and felt moved to work for their salvation. When he was about eleven years old, a bishop visited his school and asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. Without hesitation he responded: "A priest." Weaver As soon as Anthony was old enough, he began working as an apprentice weaver. When he turned 17, his father sent him to Barcelona to study the latest techniques in textile manufacturing and to work in the large textile mills. He did so well in the textile design school that he began receiving offers from large textile companies. Even though he had the talent to succeed, he turned down the offers and returned home after experiencing the emptiness of worldly achievements. Vocation The words of the Gospel kept resounding in his heart: "what good is it for man to win the world if he loses his soul?" He began to study Latin to prepare to enter the Seminary. He wanted to be a Carthusian Monk. His father was ready to accept the will of God, but preferred to see him become a diocesan priest.

  • Must Catholics Pray the Rosary?
    The Our Father and the Hail Mary flow from the Gospels. Jesus said, “This is how you are to pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be with James & John done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today Must Catholics Pray the Rosary? our daily bread…’” Mt 6:9-13 The angel Gabriel said to Mary, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” Lk 1:28 “When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; Know This… and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a Devotion is the disposition, attitude, and action of loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your the will to give honor and praise to God. Prayer is womb!’” Lk 1:41-42 an acknowledgement of God’s presence and man’s dependence on Him. Sincere prayer draws the believer into a deeper relationship with Jesus and leads him to “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, holiness. The Mass is the ultimate devotion and prayer and his ears are open to their prayer.” 1 Pet 3:12 “The Rosary is a magnificent for Catholics. Catholics must participate in Mass on and universal prayer for the needs of the Church, the Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. The Rosary is also nations, and the entire world.” Blessed Pope John Paul II “The Rosary is devotion and prayer; but unlike the Mass, a Catholic is the compendium of the entire Gospel.” Pope Pius XII “The Rosary not required to pray the Rosary.

  • 10-24 Saint Anthony Claret
    Anthony Claret was ordained a priest in 1835. In the early years of his ministry, he had a generous heart for the poor that never left him. Serving with humility, his superiors recognized his abilities and assigned him in missionary work throughout Catalonia. From 1843-47 when he wasn’t busy in his home parish, he traveled on foot throughout Catalonia, preaching constantly and distributing books and leaflets he had written to explain the faith. In 1848, he was assigned to the Canary Islands off the Northwest coast of Africa. Although he was there for only 15 months, the work he did is still remembered to this day. i ii In 1849 he returned to Catalonia and established the Congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (16 July 1849). The order is often known for its founder as Claretians. These Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are men on fire with the love of God. As missionaries, they strive by all means possible to set everyone on fire with God’s love. They live an austere life, readily accepting privations, welcoming work, and embracing sacrifice. When confronted with ill will, they return smiles. When tormented they rejoice and readily accept their suffering. They strive to follow the way of Jesus in all things and imitate him in praying and working for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls.iii Anthony Claret was appointed as Archbishop of Santiago, Cuba and arrived there in February of 1851. He worked tirelessly to reform the clergy, create new parishes, set up credit unions, and evangelize through the entire diocese.
