JUSTIN’S BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES AND FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES The Lord does not create people just to occupy space. God has a plan, a vocation, a mission for every human being. Many of today’s problems are caused by the fact that people are more con- cerned about finding a job, a profession, or a career, rather than their own vocation and mission in life. A profession or career is something we do to live, to earn what we need in order to live. Vocation is something we do out of dedication and love. A profession can be chosen or inspired by our family or by human considerations but a vocation comes from on high and invites us to loving service of our neighbor. This world would be a much better place if every profession, career or job were also a vocation! St. Justin Russolillo is born and called to help human beings to discover and follow their vocation in life. People find true ful- fillment only by discovering and following their vocation. There- fore, all life, every activity, every act of service, every life-choice is seen as vocation. The title of the biography of Fr. Justin, “Chiamato per Chiamare - Called to Call”, written by Oreste Anella SDV, syn- thesizes the mission of this man of God. The most important thing in life is to discern one’s own vo- cation. Justin, born on January 18. 1891, in Pianura of Naples to 7 Luigi Russolillo and Giuseppina Simpatia, from his earliest years feels a strong and clear calling to the priesthood. An intelligent and sharp boy, Justin is known among his friends for his dedica- tion to his studies and for his exceptional piety. He completes his primary education receiving private lessons from his aunts and from his parish priest. When he is only five years old he receives his First Commu- nion and falls in love with Jesus present in the Eucharist. In 1901, when he is only ten years old, he enters the seminary at Pozzuoli, his native diocese. Justin never doubts his vocation but more than once he fears that he would be unable to follow it because of the poverty, which grips his large family and because of the bouts of illness that accompany him throughout his life. When Baron Zambaglione, to whom his mother asks for fi- nancial help to pay the seminary fees, proves unresponsive to her request, both mother and son weep bitterly. On this occasion Gi- useppina tells her son, whose talents she values, “Don’t be afraid, Mamma will make you a priest, even if it costs me my own eyes!” What would a mother’s love not do! All the family, including the aunts, set about making sacrifices so that Justin can follow his vo- cation. While all seems to be going well for the young seminarian, two painful events grieve the entire family: Aunt Enrichetta dies suddenly (she was the one who provided a notable amount to help pay the seminary fees) and his father Luigi falls from a scaf- folding and is unable to work any more. There is no money for the seminary. Once again mother and son weep bitterly at the prospective of Justin having to leave the seminary. The semi- nary’s superiors realize what is happening, and moved by it get involved in his case. Baron Zambaglione, this time at the bishop’s request, agrees to pay half the fees. The sky turns blue once more! 8 As a result of his unsteady health Justin runs the risk on more than one occasion of being sent home from the seminary. The Su- periors, who appreciate his holiness and his extraordinary intelli- gence, make some exceptions for him: they allow him longer holi- days, provide him with a private room instead of the traditional dormitory, and sometimes even give him more nutritious food. With his financial problems sorted out, Justin continues with his studies and moves on towards priesthood. During his holiday periods at home he discovers the seed of priestly and religious vocation in many young boys. He starts to get them together, to give them catechism classes and to teach them Latin. On the day of his priestly ordination, September 20, 1913, Jus- tin makes his vow of charity, promising to do always whatever would give the greatest glory to God, and the vow to found a religious Congregation dedicated to the service of priestly and re- ligious vocations. For his priestly ordination he only asks one gift: to have all the children of Pianura receive Communion at his first Mass. After his ordination Justin is appointed prefect of discipline at the Seminary of Pozzuoli. This appointment lasts only a few months because on account of his poor health the Bishop deems it better for the young priest to be assigned to his native town and serve as Parochial Vicar of St. George Parish. This new assignment allows him to live at home with his parents and receive all the loving attentions of his mother. The pastor asks Fr. Justin to serve as chaplain to the Holy Rosary Confraternity and to provide pas- toral care to the rural area known as Masseria Grande. From 1914 to 1920, even during his military service in World War I, Justin dedicates great attention to the oratory and espe- cially to his future aspirants. 9 In 1920 he becomes Pastor of St. George Parish in Pianura. He accepts the pastorship because he sees the parish as a womb in which a vocation is conceived and nurtured. Divine Provi- dence prepares the birth of the first Vocationary in the rectory of St George’s parish, where Fr. Justin serves as parish priest from September 20, 1920 until his death on August 2, 1955. On October 18, 1920 he starts again community life with 12 young men in the Parish House, which becomes the first Voca- tionary. This time his efforts are rewarded as he has the approval of Bishop Pasquale Ragosta. On October 1, 1921 Fr. Justin welcomes six young women from the “Pia Unione” (Pious union) and founds the religious congregation of the Sisters of the Divine Vocations. The growth of the female branch is helped immensely by Mother Giovanna Russolillo, sister of Fr. Justin, Superior General of the Sisters from 1926 to 1969. Some other young women, who are not called to traditional consecrated life but share his love for vocations and follow the Vocationist spirituality, become first Co- operators and later form the Secular Institute of the Vocationist Apostles of Universal Sanctification. The main center of the new foundation is the Vocationary, where all those who show signs of a vocation and have not yet decided whether to enter the seminary or join a specific Religious Community are welcomed and formed, both spiritually and aca- demically, free of charge. Poverty ought not stop them from real- izing their vocation. What attracts a lot of boys, generous benefactors and several priests who approach Fr. Justin and offer their assistance, is that interior fire that can be seen in this man of God who lives and tries to get others to live what he teaches and enjoins on those he 10 meets along his path: “Become a saint…make yourself into a real saint, because all the rest counts for nothing.” Fr. Justin and his Vocationists nurture vocations and direct them to wherever God calls them. To accept candidates for dis- cernment the Vocationists ask no money and no certainty of voca- tions. The willingness to become saints is the only prerequisite for admission into the Vocationary. When Justin is later asked about the birth of the Vocationist Congregations he replies, “The Society of Divine Vocations was born from a seminarian, who used to teach catechism every day and sometimes the whole day.” The Lord always shows a certain preference for the poor and it is from them that he calls his chosen ones. Justin, a faithful fol- lower of Jesus, pledges himself and his religious families to “iden- tifying, fostering and serving vocations to the ordained ministries, especially among those who are less well-off.” The desire, determination and concern of Fr. Justin are shown in this statement, which sets the specific mission of his aposto- late and that of his sons and daughters; “Poverty must never be an obstacle to following one’s own vocation.” Relying on Jesus’s words, “The poor are with you always,” the Vocationists continue to work in order to help poor vocations. The fire of divine love burns within him and this fire must blaze. Justin stands out for his piety and his dignity in prayer. Often, in the seminary, in the parish and in the Vocationary he spends all his free time praying.

RELIGIOUS INSTITUTES- PROPERTY AND TAX ISSUES SISTER CECILIA MEIGHAN, R.S.M. OF WILKES-BARRE, PA. Religious Institutes-Structures Under Canon Law I will be using the terms religious institute, religious order and reli- gious congregation interchangeably. There is a canonical distinction be- tween religious congregation and religious order; the former's members take simple vows, the latter's members take solemn vows, a distinction of importance in regard to the ownership of property which I will elaborate on shortly. Religious institute is the canonical term, religious order is fa- vored in civil law and by the IRS, and religious congregation and religious community are the more popular terms. A religious institute comes into existence when a group of Catholic Christians who choose to live a common life in service to God's people on behalf of the Church receive the Holy See's or a local bishop's approval.

  • MISSIONARIES of the POOR to the STATUS of PONTIFICAL RIGHT “THE LORD HEARS the CRY of the POOR” (Ps
    DECEMBER 2014 NEWSLETTER POPE FRANCIS RAISES THE MISSIONARIES OF THE POOR TO THE STATUS OF PONTIFICAL RIGHT “THE LORD HEARS THE CRY OF THE POOR” (Ps. 34) His Holiness, Pope Francis, by formal decree, has approved the Missionaries of the Poor (MOP) as Lay Religious Institute of PONTIFICAL RIGHT on December 8, 2014, feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Institutes of pontifical right are those erected or approved by the Holy See by formal decree. MOP was founded by Very Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung in 1981. It is an international monastic order of Brothers, Priests and Sister dedicated to "Joyful Service with Christ on the Cross" to serve the poorest of the poor. It has now grown to over 550 brothers from 13 countries serving the Lord in nine missions around the world. With hearts full of gratitude to God, together with our Blessed Mother Mary, and our Poor, we sing the Magnificat: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit exults Very Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung, founder of in God my Savior! He has looked upon his servant in her lowliness, with favor on the humble estate of the Missionaries of the Poor. his servant” (Luke 1: 46-48).

Order 6-7. The Archdiocese recognizes that these questions were not fully explored in the parties’ briefing on the motion to dismiss and that, due to the coronavirus, the Court was unable to address these issues at oral argument. Accordingly, the Archdiocese respectfully asks the Court to reconsider the ruling with the benefit of additional clarity on the key canon-law matters it has identified. Taking the Complaint and exhibits as true, and taking judicial notice of undisputed canon law, the Archbishop’s directive to Cathedral could not be appealed within the Church, and the Archbishop is the “highest ecclesiastical authority”—as the Order uses that term—over Cathedral’s affiliation with the Catholic Church. Should the Court in considering this jurisdictional question under Rule 12(b)(1) wish to consider evidence on how canon law governs the relationships among Cathedral, the Archbishop, and the broader Church, the Archdiocese submits an affidavit from Fr. Joseph L. Newton, an expert in canon law, attached as Exhibit A.

  • PRESENTATION of the COMMUNIQUÉS of the GENERAL CHAPTER 1. from January
    [Translated from Original Spanish] Thy Kingdom Come! PRESENTATION OF THE COMMUNIQUÉS OF THE GENERAL CHAPTER 1. From January 8th through February 25th, 2014, the Extraordinary General Chapter of the Legion of Christ took place in Rome. His Eminence, Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, CS, and his two counselors, Fr. Gianfranco Ghirlanda, SJ, and Fr. Agostino Montan, CSI, presided. Sixty- one chapter fathers participated, 19 ex officio and 42 elected by the nine territories of the congregation and the centers of Rome. 2. This Extraordinary General Chapter marks the end of the journey of in-depth revision that the congregation has travelled since the apostolic visitation, which took place during 2009- 2010, and the naming of a Pontifical Delegate in the summer of 2010. Our principal tasks in the Chapter, as Pope Benedict XVI1 indicated and as Pope Francis confirmed2, were to revise the Constitutions and to elect a new central government for the congregation. 3. In the first days, in light of the reports that the Pontifical Delegate and the pro-General Director submitted, we focused on analyzing the life of the Congregation since the ordinary General Chapter that took place in 2005. One of the outcomes of the intense exchange of ideas that took place in those days was the communiqué that the Chapter approved on January 20th, 2014, about the journey of renewal of the Congregation. This same day, the elections of the new central government took place. Once the election had been confirmed and the Holy See made the two nominations that it had reserved to itself, the elections of Fr.

    St. Luigi Scrosoppi of Udine Catholic.net Youngest of three brothers born to Domenico Scrosoppi, a jeweler, and Antonia Lazzarini; his brother Carlo was ordained when Luigi was six, and his brother Giovanni several years later. When Luigi was 11 or 12 years old, his home region was struck by drought, famine, typhus, and smallpox in quick succession; the sight of such misery, complete poverty, and the number of orphans had a lasting effect on the boy. In his teens, Luigi felt a call to the priesthood, and he entered the same seminary as his brother Giovanni. Deacon in 1826; ordained on March 31, 1827 at the cathedral in Udine; he was assisted at his first Mass by his brothers. Director of the Pious Union of the Heart of Jesus Christ. Helped manage the children‘s center run by his brother Carlo. Franciscan tertiary. Assistant director of Carlo’s orphanage in 1829. The orphanage fell on harder times than usual; Luigi, in desperation, hit the streets to beg for their support, and the school soon had a great lesson in faith – and enough money to buy their building. As there were more orphans than space, the brothers decided to enlarge the house; Luigi went through the countryside to beg building materials and labor. Work began in 1834 with Luigi coordinating, begging, supervising, and working construction; it was completed in 1836, and named the House for the Destitute. That year also saw another cholera epidemic, and the orphanages, again, were full. The need of the orphans, and the constant work of the brother priests, attracted the attention of several area women who were also working with the poor and the abandoned.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE BISHOPS OF INDIA Dear Brother Bishops, 1. The remarkable varietas Ecclesiarum, the result of a long historical, cultural, spiritual and disciplinary development, constitutes a treasure of the Church, regina in vestitu deaurato circumdata varietate (cf. Ps 44 and Leo XIII, Orientalium Dignitas), who awaits her groom with the fidelity and patience of the wise virgin, equipped with an abundant supply of oil, so that the light of her lamp may enlighten all peoples in the long night of awaiting the Lord’s coming. This variety of ecclesial life, which shines with great splendour throughout lands and nations, is also found in India. The Catholic Church in India has its origins in the preaching of the Apostle Thomas. It developed through contact with the Churches of Chaldean and Antiochian traditions and through the efforts of Latin missionaries. The history of Christianity in this great country thus led to three distinct sui iuris Churches, corresponding to ecclesial expressions of the same faith celebrated in different rites according to the three liturgical, spiritual, theological and disciplinary traditions. Although this situation has sometimes led to tensions in the course of history, today we can admire a Christian presence that is both rich and beautiful, complex and unique. 2. It is essential for the Catholic Church to reveal her face in all its beauty to the world, in the richness of her various traditions. For this reason the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, which celebrates its centenary year, having been established through the farsightedness of Pope Benedict XV in 1917, has encouraged, where necessary, the restoration of Eastern Catholic traditions, and ensured their protection, as well as respect for the dignity and rights of these ancient Churches.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.

His death, caused by a massive coronary, occurred during a meeting to mark the tenth anniversary of the Francis Skaryna Byelorussian Library and Museum, which he had founded. In his person Byelorussians have lost one of their most outstanding religious and national leaders of the century. One old frtend ex­ pressed the feelings of many when he said that for him the death of Bishop Sipovich marked the end of an era. Ceslaus Sipovich was born on 8 December 1914 into a farming family at Dziedzinka, a small village in the north-western corner of Byelorussia. At that particular time Byelorussia was incorporated in the Russian Empire, but some years later, as a result of changes brought about by the First World War, its western regions came under Polish rule. The parents of Ceslaus, Vincent (1877-1957) and Jadviha, born Tycka (1890-1974) were both Catholics. They had eight children, of whom five- four boys and one girl- survived, Ceslaus being the eldest. The life of a Byelorussian peasant was not easy, and children were expected at an early age to start to help their parents with the farm work. Ceslaus was no exception, and from that time on, throughout his entire life, he retained a love and respect for manual labour, especially that of a farmer.
