Saints Are Bridges Between God and People, Says Pope 60 YEARS COURAGEOUSLY Living the Gospel July 19, 2020 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 16th Sunday in OT Saints are bridges between God and people, says pope Francis calls the faithful to intercede as bridges – like Jesus, Moses, and the saints – for the wicked, worst sinners and corrupt leaders. Kathleen Hattrup ope Francis took up the prayer of Moses in his reflection at the general audience on June 17, noting how Moses prefigured Christ in his role as intercessor, and how all the saints, in imitation of Jesus, P are called to this “intercessory attitude.” Continued page 2 July 19, 2020 Page 2 Continued from front page Even when the people had sinned and created the golden calf as an idol, Moses interceded for them, as “the bridge.” Between the people and God, “he is in the middle,” the pope said. “He is an intercessor: for his people, for his flesh and blood, for his history, for his people and for the God who called him. He is the bridge.” Francis noted that the word pontifex means bridge, and that this is the vocation for priests. PASTOR Explaining Moses’ prayer to God, he said: “Pastors are the bridges Rev. Wayne C. Genereux between the people, to whom they belong, and God, to whom they DEACONS belong by vocation. This is what Moses is. ‘If you would only for- Deacon Bill Lovelace give their sin! But if you will not, then blot me out of the book that Deacon Lionel Roberts, you have written. I do not want to get ahead at the expense of my Deacon Emeritus people.'” PASTOR EMERITUS And this is the prayer that true believers cultivate in their spiritual Msgr. Anton Dechering life. Even if they experience the shortcomings of people and their Retired distance from God, in prayer they do not condemn them, they do not reject them. The intercessory attitude is proper to the saints who, in CLERGY ASSISTANCE imitation of Jesus, are “bridges” between God and His people. Mo- Fr. Jack McDowell, OFM ses, in this sense, was the first great prophet of Jesus, our advocate Fr. Anthony Fortunato, OdeM and intercessor (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2577). Fr. Victor Bartolotta And today, too, Jesus is the pontifex, He is the bridge between us and MASS SCHEDULE the Father. And Jesus intercedes for us, He shows the Father the Weekday Masses wounds that are the price of our salvation, and He intercedes. And Monday - Saturday 8:00 AM Moses is the figure of Jesus who today prays for us, intercedes for Weekend Masses us. Saturday Vigil at 4:00 PM Sunday Moses urges us to pray with the same ardour as Jesus, to intercede 8:00 AM, 9:30 Am & 11:30 AM for the world, to remember that despite all its frailties, it still belongs to God. Follow the Sunday Mass on our website, btsp.org. Everyone belongs to God. The worst sinners, the wickedest people, the most corrupt leaders, they are children of God, and Jesus feels Confessions can be arranged with this and intercedes for everyone.

  • A Short Historical Review by Fr. Lawrence Hyde
    LAURENCE HYDE O.S.B. A SHORT HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE SYLVESTRINE MONKS IN CEYLON from 1845 to 1920 FOREWORD Several years ago during a visit to the Benedictine Abbey of New Norcia, Western Australia, a monk who had visited Sri Lanka in 1967, gave me as a gift a photocopy of a manuscript in his own possession. The title of the manuscript is «Short Historical Review of the Sylvestrine Monks in Ceylon from 1845 to 1920». It was an essay of a then-young Sylvestrine monk, Laurence Hyde, written in 1920 (1). In the Introduction (Chapter I) he had explained the reasons for his essay. «In undertaking to compile this short brochure on the work of the Benedictine Monks of the Sylvestrine Congregation in Ceylon I have been actuated by two motives - the first, to commit in writing what must very soon pass out of the realm of actual tradition and become only a memory of the past, second, to encourage the young gene-rations of my brethren to emulate the great deeds of their fathers». When Hyde wrote his Historical Review in 1920, the chief players mentioned in this essay had died: Mgr. Bonjean had passed away 18 years earlier, in 1902, and Mgr. Pagnani ten years later, in 1911. Yet, the memories of the 1880s were still a painful reminiscence for some of the surviving missionaries such as the Sylvestrine Augustine Pancrazi and the secular priest Pius Fernando, who had through lived the vicissitudes of the Colombo vicariate at that time. Hyde continued his Historical Review: «The older generation of missionaries must in due course of nature succumb to the inevitable fate that awaits all human kind, and the older generation of Christians, who have been witnesses of their labours for the salvation of souls are fast dying out.

Rademacher, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1973 Included in the Gregorian Reform of the eleventh century was the clerical discipline of celibacy. Even though celibacy was not a new discipline at that time, Pope Gregory VII vigorously enforced the canons on celibacy. In a matter of such intimacy there was bound to be opposition to the enforcement of these canons. Tradition offered ample support to both parties of the conflict. The long standing tradition of married clergy served as a strong support to those who opposed the Gregorian enforcement. However, the tradi­ tional canons in favor of celibacy gave impetus to the reformers of the eleventh century.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

  • PDF (Senior Thesis)
    Joseph S. Jewell H 99 Thesis Final Draft June 7, 2004 Prof. Warren Brown Violence in the Medieval Church Before the First Crusade The history of violence and attitudes towards violence within the medieval Catholic Church has often been interpreted through the lens of the Crusades.1 The beginning of campaigns to counter growing Muslim influence in the Middle East provides a defining moment when a certain class of full-scale war was not only explicitly endorsed, but also declared holy at the highest levels of the institutional church.2 However, the early and medieval church’s attitudes on violence before Pope Urban II called the first crusade in 1095 were often ambivalent, and in some cases directly contradictory. At different points throughout the period between the New Testament in the 1st Century A.D. and the Peace of God movement at the turn of the 11th, various churchmen both endorsed and condemned violence under a wide variety of circumstances. The institutional church’s stance on violence often seemed to depend as much on temporal conditions as it did on spiritual principles. However, the work of Augustine of Hippo, who influentially interpreted the Bible in a substantial corpus of books, sermons, and other writings, can be shown to provide the basis for many of the medieval church’s actions and positions on violent activity. Augustine’s teachings on violence, just war, and the duties of Christians with respect to both give us a common th thread to follow from the 5 Century to the eve of the Crusades. 1 F.
