The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life: a Practical Implementation
udiesinthe Spirituality of Jesuits 1 4199? The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life: A Practical Implementation . LIBRARY 5^ 1 L. Patrick Carroll, S.J. 22/1 January 1990 3N COLLEGE THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY A group of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. The Seminar studies topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recommendation to religious institutes to recapture the original inspiration of their founders and to adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material which it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, laity, men and/or women. Hence the Studies, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclusively for them. Others who may find them helpful are cordially welcome to read them. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR L. Patrick Carroll, S.J., is pastor of St. Leo's Parish in Tacoma, Washington, and superior of the Jesuit community there. John A. Coleman, S.J., teaches Christian social ethics at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. R. Emmett Curran, S.J., teaches history at Georgetown University in Washington. James J. DiGiacomo, S.J., teaches theology at Regis High School in New York. Robert N. Doran, S.J., is one of the editors of the complete works of Bernard Lonergan and teacher of systematic theology at Regis College, the Jesuit School of Theology in Toronto. -

The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country. -

Winnipeg Regional Mennonite-Catholic Dialogue
Minutes Winnipeg Mennonite-Catholic Dialogue, Meeting No. 32 Meeting held on 19 January 2011 at the Fort Garry Mennonite Church Present: Paul Doerksen, Michelle Gallant, Helmut Harder, Richard Lebrun, John Long, Luis Melo, Ron Penner, Donna Peters-Small, Lynda Trenholm, and Nancy Wood. 1. Introduction – Helmut began by welcoming new participants to the dialogue and reporting that Adolf Ens, Henry Loewen, Janet Kozak, and Joe Langan have dropped out of the group since our last meeting, and noted that Dora Dueck, an ongoing member was away visiting family. He then gave a brief explanation of the history of the group. Round of Introductions: Helmut noted that he and Luis had “invented” the group ten years ago. He had been involved in the international Catholic-Mennonite dialogue, through which he had gotten to know James Puglisi, S.A. (who was involved with Luis’ doctoral thesis in Rome). Thinking that he should be doing something about Mennonite Catholic dialogue in Winnipeg, he contacted Luis. Helmut said that he was from southern Ontario, that he had taught at the Canadian Mennonite Bible College (now Canadian Mennonite University), served as general secretary of Mennonite Church Canada, and that his wife is a musician. They had one daughter who passed away, and two married sons. Richard is a retired prof (history, University of Manitoba, St. Paul’s College), married more than 56 years, with six children, nine grandchildren (one deceased), and nine great- grandchildren. He has also been a member of this group since the beginning, and is active in St. Ignatius Parish. Lynda is a pastoral associate at St. -

Karl Stehlin FSSPX Copies Available: Kolbe Publications 286 Upper Thomson Road Singapore 574402 email: [email protected] Printed I Preface THE IMMACULATA, OUR IDEAL, written by Fr. Karl Stehlin and containing many quotations from the lectures and writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe, is a priceless treasure for the clergy who are loyal to the Tradition of the Church and for all the faithful as well. Indeed, priests and lay people want not only to survive these extremely dangerous times unscathed, but also to sanctify themselves, to make progress in the spiritual life in these concrete circumstances and to bring it to perfection by means of these very circumstances. The Apostle Paul assures us: “God is faithful and will not permit you to be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also give you a way out that you may be able to bear it” (1 Cor. 10:13). But aren’t we doomed to be defeated in our combat today against the deceits of the devil, against the powers and principalities, the rulers of this world of darkness and the wicked spirits in high places (cf. -

"Altius Moderamen"
"Altius moderamen" It is a Latin term used in Canon 303 to mean that the friars of the First Order and Third Order Regular are to guarantee the fidelity of the SFO to the Franciscan charism, communion with the Church and union with the Franciscan Family, values which represent a vital commitment for the Secular Franciscans.
