Sudhakar: HOW CAN YOU SHOW YOUR LOVE TO THE DECEASED FAMILY MEMBER? We are fast approaching the celebrations of All Saints and All Souls Day. The entire human beings form a single family; whether Saints in the presence of God, Souls in Purgatory for the purification or people on earth; we all form ONE BODY with many parts, having Jesus Christ, our HEAD (1 Corinthians Ch. 12). In the catholic church, we have a wonderful tradition of family bond and connecting one another, no matter where we live. We intercede the Saints in heaven and help the dead in Purgatory with prayers and offering of the holy masses. What a wonderful family and how perfectly we connect each other. Women’s Bible Group told me, “We are your family away from your original family.” Several times people tell me, “You are part of my family,” “You are like my son,” or “You are like my grandson.” We have many ways of building family bond and showing love for one another here on earth. But how do you show your love or continue to foster the family bond and relation? How? You are aware or not, but we have been doing that by PRAYER, by offering a HOLY MASS for the dead. The merit of the holy mass has been applied for the deceased who is in Purgatory for the purification. The offering of Mass for the repose of the soul of the faithful departed is linked with our belief in Purgatory. We believe that if a person has died fundamentally believing in God but with venial sins and the hurt caused by sin, then God in His divine love and mercy will first purify the soul. After this purification has been completed, the soul will have the holiness and purity needed to share in the beatific vision in heaven. While each individual stands judgment before the Lord and must render an account of his life, the communion of the Church shared on this earth continues, except for those souls dammed to hell. Therefore, just as we pray for each other and share each other's burdens now, the faithful on earth can offer prayers and sacrifices to help the departed souls undergoing purification, and no better prayer could be offered than that of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Mirae Caritatis (1902) beautifully elaborated this point and emphasized the connection between the communion of saints with the Mass: "The grace of mutual love among 'The living, strengthened and increased by the Sacrament of the Eucharist, flows' especially by virtue of the Sacrifice [of the Mass]' to all who belong to the communion of saints For the communion of saints is simply... the mutual sharing of help, atonement, prayers, and benefits among the faithful, those already In the heavenly fatherland, those consigned to the purifying fire, and those still making their pilgrim way here on earth. These all form one city, whose head is Christ, and whose vital principle is love. Faith teaches that although the august Sacrifice can be offered to God alone, it can nevertheless be celebrated in honor of the saints now reigning in heaven with God, who has crowned them, to obtain their intercession for us, and also, according to apostolic tradition, to wash away the stains of those brethren who died in the Lord but without yet being wholly purified." Think of this point: The Holy Mass transcends time and space, uniting the faithful in heaven, on earth and in purgatory into a Holy Communion, and the Holy Eucharist Itself augments our union with Christ, wipes away venial sins, and presences us from future mortal sins (cf. Catechism, No. 1391-1396). Therefore, the offering of Mass and other prayers or sacrifices for the intentions of the faithful departed are good and holy acts. This practice is not new. The Catechism asserts, "From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic Sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God" (No. 1032). (Will be continued in the next bulletin.) HALLOWEEN, OCTOBER 31,—Fr. Sudhakar will be passing out candy to children at the rectory from 4:00 pm until 5:30 pm.

  • The Mediation of the Church in Some Pontifical Documents Francis X
    THE MEDIATION OF THE CHURCH IN SOME PONTIFICAL DOCUMENTS FRANCIS X. LAWLOR, SJ. Weston College N His recent encyclical letter, Hurnani generis, of Aug. 12, 1950, the I Holy Father reproves those who "reduce to a meaningless formula the necessity of belonging to the true Church in order to achieve eternal salvation."1 In the light of the Pope's insistence in the same encyclical letter on the ordinary, day-by-day teaching office of the Roman Pontiffs, it will be useful to select from the infra-infallible but authentic teaching of the Popes some of the abundant material touching the question of the mediatorial function of the Church in the order of salvation. The Popes, to be sure, do not speak and write after the manner of theo­ logians but as pastors of souls, and it is doubtless not always easy to transpose to a theological level what is contained in a pastoral docu­ ment and expressed in a pastoral method of approach. Yet the authentic teaching of the Popes is both a guide to, and a source of, theological thinking. The documents cited are of varying solemnity and doctrinal importance; an encyclical letter is clearly of greater magisterial value than, let us say, an occasional epistle to some prelate. It is not possible here to situate each citation in its documentary context; but the force and point of a quotation, removed from its documentary perspective, is perhaps as often lessened as augmented. Those who wish may read them in their context, if they desire a more careful appraisal of evidence.

    2007-02-22,_SS_Benedictus_XVI,_Adhortatio_'Sacramentum_Caritatis' POST-SYNODAL APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION SACRAMENTUM CARITATIS OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI TO THE BISHOPS, CLERGY, CONSECRATED PERSONS AND THE LAY FAITHFUL ON THE EUCHARIST AS THE SOURCE AND SUMMIT OF THE CHURCH'S LIFE AND MISSION INTRODUCTION 1. The sacrament of charity (1), the Holy Eucharist is the gift that Jesus Christ makes of himself, thus revealing to us God's infinite love for every man and woman. This wondrous sacrament makes manifest that "greater" love which led him to "lay down his life for his friends" (Jn 15:13). Jesus did indeed love them "to the end" (Jn 13:1). In those words the Evangelist introduces Christ's act of immense humility: before dying for us on the Cross, he tied a towel around himself and washed the feet of his disciples. In the same way, Jesus continues, in the sacrament of the Eucharist, to love us "to the end," even to offering us his body and his blood. What amazement must the Apostles have felt in witnessing what the Lord did and said during that Supper! What wonder must the eucharistic mystery also awaken in our own hearts! The food of truth 2. In the sacrament of the altar, the Lord meets us, men and women created in God's image and likeness (cf. Gen 1:27), and becomes our companion along the way. In this sacrament, the Lord truly becomes food for us, to satisfy our hunger for truth and freedom. Since only the truth can make us free (cf.

I explore different ways in which the Eucharist is understood in today’s world. First, I analyse texts of the Second Vatican Council and post-conciliar texts. The Second Vatican Council and post-conciliar official texts present new ways of discussing the Eucharist, which has put into relief diverse aspects which contribute to a deeper understanding of it.

What is the significance of the apparitions at Lourdes and other places? What is the meaning of Marian apparitions in general? In our world of rationalism and secularism, of materialism and consumerism, God and the supernatural realm seem far removed from most people. Yet He continues to intervene in human history by sending the mother of Jesus when the Christian faith is challenged and under attack. The human family needs to be reminded, sometimes in a dynamic and supernatural way, that God exists, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a universal call to goodness and holiness, that we are all responsible before our Maker for our choices. Apparitions are a wake-up call for a corporate examination of conscience about how well we may be responding to God’s manifold invitations to personal salvation and world peace.

  • Seven Ages of Man Dominican Devotions
    SEVEN AGES OF MAN DOMINICAN DEVOTIONS T RUE progress," concludes the unknown author of "Aguecheek," "is something superior to your puffing engines and clicking telegraphs, and is independent of them. It is the advancement of humanity in the knowledge of its frailty and dependence; the elevation of the mind above its own limited acquirements to the infinite source of knowledge; the cleansing of the heart of its selfis.hness and uncleanness; in fact, it is anything whatever that tends to assimilate man more closely to the Divine Exemplar of perfect manhood." The Church, as Mother of this progress, to help him attain unio n with God ho lds out to him, at each period of his p rogress along life's highway, a director or guide. These are her devotions, several of which are in the keeping of the Friar Preachers. It is r emarkable that so many of the Church's devo­ tions have been so intimately connected with one Order. True, devo­ tion to the acred Heart and that to the Passion seem to have been more private affairs in the Dominican family. But the Blessed Imelda, the Angeli c Warfare, the Holy _ ame, the Holy Rosary, and the Blessed Sacrament devotions have been synonymous with the name Dominican. Seven hundred years have by no means dimmed the lustre of this name in regard to these devotions. Time, instead, has added to its brightness by their widespread propagation and development. Seven hundred years have indeed shown it to be a star enlightening the world, and guiding men to Truth's shrine, there to learn the real meaning of progress.
