The proposal is addressed to all religious leaders and to people around the world to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus (Covid- 19) pandemic. The appeal released on Sat- urday, 2 May, reads: “Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. While we reaffirm the role of medicine and scientific research in fighting this pandemic, we should not forget to seek refuge in God, the All-Creator, as we face such severe crisis. Therefore, we call on all peoples around the world to do good deeds, observe fast, pray, and make devout sup- plications to God Almighty to end this pandemic. Each one from wherever they are and ac- cording to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should im- plore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world, to rescue us all from this adversity, to inspire scientists to find a cure that can turn back this disease, and to save the whole world from the health, economic, and human repercussions of this serious pan- demic.

    The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI TO "ST JOHN THE BAPTIST" ROMAN HOSPITAL OF THE SOVEREIGN MILITARY HOSPITALLER ORDER OF MALTA HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI First Sunday of Advent, 2 December 2007 Dear Brothers and Sisters, "Let us go to the house of the Lord!". These words that we repeated in the response of the Responsorial Psalm clearly express the feelings that fill our hearts today, the First Sunday of Advent. The reason why we can go ahead joyfully, as the Apostle Paul has exhorted us, lies in the fact that our salvation is now at hand. The Lord is coming! With this knowledge we set out on the journey of Advent, preparing ourselves to celebrate with faith the extraordinary event of the Lord's birth. In the coming weeks, day after day the liturgy will offer for our reflection Old Testament texts that recall the lively, constant desire that kept alive in the Jewish people the expectation of the Messiah's coming. Watchful in prayer, let us too seek to prepare our hearts to receive the Lord, who will come to show us his mercy and give us his salvation. Precisely during this time of waiting, Advent is a season of hope, and it is to Christian hope that I wished to dedicate my second Encyclical, officially presented the day before yesterday; it begins with the words St Paul addressed to the Christians of Rome: "Spe salvi facti sumus - in hope we were saved" (Rom 8: 24). In the Encyclical, I write among other things that "we need the greater and lesser hopes that keep us going day by day.

  • By Edward Pentin
    By Edward Pentin ROME, January 24, 2013 (Zenit.org) - "The only worthwhile striving is after the highest ideals: If you aim for an easy target, your standard will inevitably decline, and no progress is ever made, except through real effort and real suffering." These are words attributed to Fra' Andrew Bertie, the 78th Grand Master of the Order of Malta, whose cause for beatification is expected to open next month, according to informed sources. Andrew Willoughby Ninian Bertie, a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth II whose family has had royal ties for centuries, was the first Englishman to be elected to the post of Grand Master in the Order's 900 year history. He served in the Rome-based position from 1988 until his death in February 2008 at the age of 78. But for all the lofty titles and blue blood, those who knew Fra' Andrew remember him as a down-to-earth yet eccentric personality, a true gentleman with impeccable manners, and greatly loved by former pupils at Worth Abbey School in Sussex, England, where he taught for 23 years. "He was an extremely vivid person and one of the teachers whom the pupils all remember," said Father Stephen Ortiger, a colleague and friend at Worth, a Benedictine school. The priest said he felt Fra' Andrew would be "convulsed with laughter" if he heard his cause for beatification was to be opened. He didn't have an aura of holiness, Father Ortiger said, "not because he wasn't holy but because he would rather die than exude an aura of holiness -- he would do everything by stealth and wouldn't wear his heart or his goodness on his sleeve." "If he saw a balloon was coming," he said, "he would prick it." Alumni of Worth recall how, on his way to breakfast each morning, Fra' Andrew would give the fullest possible voice to the Moslem call to prayer -- Allah u Akbar.

This national shrine commemorates the martyrdom of the Jesuit Jean de Brébeuf and his companions in 1649. Despite being closed for the winter, the Director, Father Michael Knox, sj, opened the site for us and guided us through a discussion, mass, a communal meal, and a visit to all parts of the shrine, explaining the meaning and the need for a true commitment to Christ, as well as the history of the original Jesuits at Midland. Very few National Pilgrimage to Lourdes churches can concentrate the mind like the simple clearing in the from May 4 to May 8, 2018 forest at St - Ignace, where the martyrs were tortured and died for their faith and their parishioners. Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum Many of us felt this five hour pilgrimage to be as intense and more personal than even Lourdes......and yet many Canadians do not know of it.
