I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you, does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

This way of life is so different than the way most of us live. If we are good Christians, we intend to do this and even redirect our lives to this end, however, when one is con- secrated, he/she takes on a whole new level of commitment. We are very blessed to have Carmelite priests, 4 deacons and 2 nuns. Sr. Mary, a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, spends her whole life serving the church with her wonderful talent of creating artwork, including these parish bulletins. Sr. Elaine spends her whole life in the service of our incarcerated brothers and sisters here in our prisons with Deacon Scotty and his group as well as in Mexico, where her community continues the work of Mother Antonia. DEFINITIONS: EUDISTS SERVANTS – after the life and example of St. John Eudes (1601 – 1680) 11th HOUR – the order was founded for women who are single and between 45-65. INSPIRATION: “And about the eleventh hour, he (the owner of the vineyard) went out and found others” This story from the Scriptures is about the workers who showed up close to the end of the day. Jesus explained through the owner’s attitude that these workers were to be paid the same wage as those who had been working all day, in other words, they were as valuable and to be honored along with the others. So, this community is for women who have lived in other circumstances and had other careers before deciding to turn their entire lives and talents over to the Lord. Maria Clarke Brenner was a woman of means and influ- ence who raised 7 children in Hollywood. In response to the Lord’s call, when her children were grown, at the age of 50, she left that life and made the leap of faith into consecrated life and into the extreme environment of a Mexican jail, where she became Sr. Antonia. She lived in a tiny cell in the prison for over 35 years and is the only one in history who has ever been allowed to do this. By request of Archbishop Munoz of the Archdiocese of Tijuana, Mexico, Sr, Antonia founded an order to take up and continue the work she was doing.

  • The Life and Kingdom of Jesus in Christian Souls
    The Life and the Kingdom Of JESUS A TREATISE ON CHRISTIAN PERFECTION FOR USE BY CLERGY OR LAITY BY SAINT JOHN EUDES Translated from the French by A Trappist Father in The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsémani With an Introduction by THE RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR FULTON J. SHEEN 1947 NEW YORK P. J. KENEDY & SONS Numérisé par [email protected] GENERAL PREFACE ST. JOHN EUDES has been called "the wonder of his age." Missionary, founder, reformer of the clergy, he crowded into a life of seventy-nine years so many and such varied accomplishments that one marvels how a single man could achieve so much. In addition to the activities of an incessant and many-sided apostolate, he wrote a number of valuable books, which rank him among the most prolific ascetic writers of the seventeenth century. For many years the devotional works of St. John Eudes were practically unknown.(1) Occasionally a volume was discovered in the library of some seminary or religious house. Many others preserved in manuscript form were lost in the chaos of the French Revolution(2) At the beginning of the present century the sons of St. John Eudes united in a tribute of filial piety to bring out a complete edition of the works of their spiritual father, seeking them in public and private libraries throughout the world(3) About twenty volumes were found and edited in 1905 by the late Fathers Charles Lebrun, C.J.M., and Joseph Dauphin, (1).Before the French Revolution the works of St. John Eudes were popular in France.

  • Dorotheus of Gaza and Benedict of Nursia* Nikolaus Egender
    DOROTHEUS OF GAZA AND BENEDICT OF NURSIA* NIKOLAUS EGENDER At the founding of the Ecumenical Council of the Churches and its first General Assembly in Amsterdam in1948, the first General Secretary, Pastor W. Wissert Hooft, expressed the following basic principle: “The more we draw near to Christ as communities and believers, the more we draw near to one another.” During the last fifty years this principle of the ecumenical method has spoken to religious communities in their significant role of striving for the unity of Christians and for their spiritual renewal. In the sixth century a contemporary of Saint Benedict, Dorotheus of Gaza, held the same principle that he expressed by the comparison of a circle “that represented God as the center and the various ways of human life as the spokes. If the saints who desire to draw near to God move toward the center . they draw nearer to one another—one to the other—as they draw nearer to God. The more they approach God, the more they approach one another.”1 “The more one is united with the neighbor the more one is united with God.”2 These words are spoken in the context of brotherly love. But do they not affirm our experience today of the impact of the spiritual renewal on the way to the reunion of separated Christians? In an international Congress on the ecumenical Dimension of the Rule of Benedict (RB) a consideration of the Christian orient is essential. Accordingly, it seemed to me not without significance, to get to know better this contemporary of Saint Benedict, Dorotheus of Gaza.

  • The Spirituality of Societies of Apostolic Life
    The spirituality of societies of apostolic life Robert P. Maloney, C.M. Meeting of Members of Societies of Apostolic Life Ariccia, Italy November 23-25, 1997 All of us have noted, with some joy, the renewed interest in spirituality today. Some of its manifestations are wonderfully healthy. Others tend toward the bizarre.1 But one thing is clear. There exists a hunger, "a profound and authentic desire of 20th century humanity for wholeness in the midst of fragmentation, for community in the face of isolation and loneliness, for liberating transcendence, for meaning in life, for values that endure."2 Our members too yearn for wholeness, for meaning, for transcendence. The Lord calls us, as leaders in the Church, to try to satisfy their longing. We have many responsibilities as superiors general: decision-making, planning, meetings, personal interviews. But I suggest to you today, my brothers and sisters, that there is nothing more valuable that we can do for our congregations than to hold up before their eyes a captivating vision; an ultimate concern that will enable them to integrate life and give it away as a gift; a deep, vibrant, holistic spirituality. The topic you have asked me to address, "The Spirituality of Societies of Apostolic Life" is very difficult. It would surely be easier to speak about the spiritualities (in the plural) of Societies of Apostolic Life. But that would be an endless task since our heritages are really quite varied. For example, Bérulle, Vincent de Paul, and John Eudes, though contemporaries and collaborators, handed on to their congregations distinctive ways of approaching God.

  • First Friday STARTING Devotions? Imagine If You Had a Friend Who Was SEPTEMEBER 5, 2014 Knocked Down by Some Inconsiderate Person Rushing Off Down the Street
    Why Practice the First Friday STARTING Devotions? Imagine if you had a friend who was SEPTEMEBER 5, 2014 knocked down by some inconsiderate person rushing off down the street. What would your AT 8:30A.M. MASS reaction be? You would go to the friend, pick him up, brush him off, and take him to get something to calm his nerves. In short, you FIRST FRIDAY would find some way to repay the unkindness handed to him by the stranger with a kindness of your DEVOTIONS own. This is the same principle behind the First Friday Devotions. To the Sacred Heart of Jesus No matter how observant a Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus can be traced back to as early as Catholic we think ourselves to be, the 13th century through the writings of St. Bonaventure. Commenting we all fall short of the respect and on the Passion as found in St. John’s Gospel, he noted that the blood love that God deserves. Add in and water flowing from the Heart of Jesus after it is pierced with a abuses our Lord must suffer at the lance shows that Christ holds nothing back from us in order to redeem hands of unbelievers and the us. Other saints, like St. John Eudes, help to promote and develop this ignorant and it becomes readily devotion to the Sacred Heart.

The Seventeenth-Century School of French Spirituality By RAYMOND DEVILLE, S5. The title of this symposium, "L'Age d' Or: The Roots of Our Tradi­ tion," invites us to explore the French school of spirituality. The term "French school of spirituality" is quite controversial. Some historians disagree with the name; others deny the existence ofsuch a school; still others do not think that Saint Vincent or Saint Louise belonged to it. It is necessary, then, to clarify ideas on the subject. All historians of the church in France would agree, I think, that the seventeenth centuryin that country, like the sixteenth in Spain, was the golden age, Ie grand sieclei of spirituality or, better, the golden age of Christian renewal. During that period the entire French church experi­ enced a genuine,
