    The Catholic Voyage: African Journal of Consecrated Life Vol. 14, 2018. ISSN: 2659-0301 (Online) 1597 6610 (Print) MERCY AND TRUTH SHALL MEET TOGETHER FOR RENEWAL AND FIDELITY IN THE CHURCH: Oseni J. Osilama Ogunu, OMV1 ABSTRACT There has been an increased general interest on the theme of practice of mercy and doctrinal truths taught in the Catholic Church in recent years. Sometimes, the discussion tends to emphasize, or even pit one against the other; or it gives the impression that mercy is a new theme in the Church. This article reflects on the theme of truth and mercy which, to use the biblical expression, will meet together or embrace (Cfr.Ps.85:10). The need for such meeting in the Church life and mission has become more evident in our time many call for renewal (or reform) or for faithfulness in the Church, whether as individuals, communities and structures. The reflection highlights the meaning, value and practice of mercy and truth, drawing elements from the Sacred Scriptures, the Church’s teaching, the writings of Venerable Fr. Pius Bruno Lanteri, and others. It also considers the relationship between mercy and truth, and indicates some of the specific spheres of life, the family life included, where mercy and truth embrace or should meet in action, in reality of life. *** “Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart.” (Proverbs 3:3). INTRODUCTION There is a renewed interest on the themes of mercy and truth in Church today. These matters are explored by theologians and pastors.

    VENERABLE BRUNO GUILD PROMOTING BRUNO LANTERI’S CAUSE FOR CANONIZATION Volume 1, Issue 2 Spring 2018 OBLATES OF THE VIRGIN MARY From the Wilderness of Lent Happy Lent to our friends and members of the Venerable Bruno Guild! This newsletter informs our friends, benefactors, and prayer partners of our activities as we promote Venerable Bruno’s cause for canonization and share new prayer requests received through the website for Venerable Bruno (brunolanteri.org). Please feel welcome to browse our Venerable Bruno Guild website for previous issues. In this issue you will find reflections offered by some OMV priests, the spiritual sons of Venerable Bruno. Recent prayer requests and testimonials will always be shared in our newsletter. These are shared by people who have asked us to share them with others and encourage them to pray too. We also share some news about projects in development with the Guild and ask for your prayers for their successful completion. The reflections in this issue talk about guarding against discouragement and persevering in prayer, even when one might be weary. As we navigate the wilderness of our lives and this season of Lent, Venerable Bruno’s words might offer some encouragement: “I beg you then with all the energy of my heart, not to be afraid of your past failings, but rather to let the memory of them lead you to a greater knowledge of yourself and humility before the Lord, and, at the same time, to encourage you to trust all the more in our heavenly Father, who is always so ready to welcome, forgive, and assist us.” — To Ricasoli, Carteggio, II, 170 (taken from the Bruno Lanteri website).

    “And Stephen Was Heard…” A Quarterly Newsletter Fall, 2020 Volume 1, Issue 1 of Saint Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church in Kearny, New Jersey FROM OUR PASTOR... My dear parishioners and friends of Saint Stephen’s parish, In the fall of 2013, our parish newsletter, “And Stephen Was Heard” was initiated as a part of Pope Benedict XVI’s call for Catholics to enter into a “New Evangelization”. The Pope was calling on all baptized Catholics to commit themselves to a better and more disciplined approach to speaking about and teaching the Catholic Faith. For different reasons, our newsletter lasted only a few issues. That doesn’t mean it was a failure, however. Other resources and other concerns began to demand more of our staff’s time and en- ergy. INSIDE THIS ISSUE Now, we are pleased to bring back the parish newsletter with two The Church Re-Opens! ...... 2 goals in mind: firstly, to resume the call-to-arms of Pope Bene- Parish Census Update ........ 2 dict of participating in the New Evangelization. Secondly, to ex- Confirmation ...................... 3 plore other opportunities for enhanced communication with our First Communions ............. 4 parishioners, our friends and the larger community.

Our number one priority must be to always keep INTEREST Jesus Christ at the center of our lives. By what we do and what Sacraments celebrated we say, we can accomplish this goal in various and beautiful under different circum- ways.
