Uomo intraprendente, prete autentico, ha intrecciato sapientemente rischio e fede, amore per gli uomini e amore per Dio, austerità e tenerezza. Nasce a Verolanuova (Brescia) il 12 ottobre 1846. Conclusi gli studi elementari nel paese natale, frequenta il ginnasio a Lovere (Bergamo). Nel 1864 entra nel seminario di Brescia e nel 1870 è ordinato sacerdote. Dal 1871 al 1873 è nominato vicario-cooperatore a Lo- drino (Brescia), piccolo paese di montagna, e dal 1873 cappellano al santuario di Santa Maria della Noce, frazione di Brescia. Nel 1885 inizia il suo servizio a Botticino Sera (Brescia) come vicario-cooperatore; due anni dopo, è nominato Parroco e vi rimane fino al 1912, anno della sua morte. All’inizio del suo mandato, dal pulpito afferma con forza: «Starò con voi, vivrò con voi, morirò con voi». Gli anni vissuti a Botticino sono certamente i più fecondi della vita di don Tadini.

Canonisation of Oscar Romero & New Diocesan Shrine On 14th October 2018, St Oscar Romero was canonised in Rome, alongside Pope St Paul VI. Archbishop Peter Smith issued a decree officially designating the "Romero Space" in St George's Cathedral a Diocesan Shrine. Those wishing to mark Romero's Canonisation are welcome to attend a National Mass of Thanksgiving which will take place in St George's Cathedral on Saturday 3rd November at 12.30pm. Archbishop Peter Smith will be the Principal Celebrant. All are welcome to the mass, (individuals, families, parishes, schools) and to visit the shrine. Let us savour the magnificent prayer, commonly attributed to St Oscar Romero, pronounced for the first time by Cardinal John Dearden but composed by Bishop Ken Untener. The Romero Prayer It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts; it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No pastoral visit brings wholeness.

    Piano dell’offerta formativa ǀ ISTITUTO CASA FAMIGLIA-MODENA Casa Famiglia e la sua storia L’Istituto delle Suore Adoratrici del SS. Sacramento, a cui appartengono le suore di Casa Famiglia, è una Congregazione fondata nel 1882 a Bergamo dal beato Francesco Spinelli, con Casa Madre e Casa Generalizia a Rivolta d’Adda (Cr). L’Istituto è presente in Italia, Congo, Senegal, Camerun, Colombia e Argentina. Don Francesco Spinelli ha accolto dal Signore l’ispirazione a fondare un Istituto di suore il cui scopo è “adorare perpetuamente Gesù Sacramentato, amarlo di vivo affetto, attingere dal Suo Cuore Sacratissimo l’ardore della carità che si spande a vantaggio dei prossimi”1. Le suore adoratrici raccolgono l’eredità spirituale del Fondatore e apprendono a riconoscere nel mistero eucaristico l’ “eccesso d’amore” di Dio per l’umanità. L’Eucaristia, quotidianamente celebrata e adorata, è per loro “scuola, giardino, soggiorno di virtù e di pace”2, mistero da cui attingere l’Amore per vivere e testimoniare l’«accesa carità» verso il Signore e verso i fratelli. Diversi sono gli ambiti della loro missione: offrono il loro contributo con un’azione incisiva nel mondo dell’educazione, privilegiando la presenza nella scuola dell’infanzia e primaria. Esercitano la loro opera anche in ambiti socio-sanitari: ospedali, istituti residenziali per diversamente abili e anziani autosufficienti e non, case d’accoglienza e strutture per le nuove emergenze sociali (ex-tossicodipendenti, minori a rischio). Offrono la collaborazione pastorale nella Chiesa locale, attente a condividere e a trasmettere uno stile di vita eucaristico e a promuovere una profonda spiritualità di comunione.

  • Saint Geltrude Comensoli
    Saint Geltrude Comensoli SAINT OF THE DAY 18-02-2021 The Eucharist was "Heaven on earth" to Saint Geltrude Comensoli (1847-1903), founder of the Institute of the Sacramentine Sisters which was consecrated to the perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and born from her love for Christ. Worshipping God in the Eucharistic Presence was the source of Geltrude's charity and the constant object of her meditations, which were often addressed to the mysteries of the Rosary: ​​"The first adoration began at the cave in Bethlehem. The Holy Virgin and Saint Joseph prostrated themselves for the first time before the Most Holy Humanity of the Incarnate Word". The fifth of ten children, seven of whom died in their infancy, Saint Geltrude was born in Bienno, a small town near Brescia [Northern Italy], and was baptised, on the day of her birth, with the name of Catherine. As she wrote in her diary, when she was five Jesus instilled in her heart, "a great desire to love Him much, and He kept teaching me what I had to do to please Him and be His own". The little girl often meditated on the sacrifice of Christ ("I'm thinking", she replied when asked what she was doing) and on the sense of sin, the horror of which she could perceive through her intimate union with God. At seven years old, in fact, she was told by her mother that it was time for her first Confession: "I was astonished, and replied that I had been going to Confession every Saturday for some time".

  • The Century of Romero: 1917-2017 1 the Century of Romero: 1917 – 2017
    The Century of Romero: 1917-2017 1 The Century of Romero: 1917 – 2017 August 2017 saw the centenary of St Oscar Romero’s birth. This is the timeline of those one hundred years with key dates in his life and the subsequent road to canonisation in 2018. 1917 Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez was born in Ciudad Barrios on August 15th, into a family of modest means, the second of eight children of Santos Romero and Guadalupe de Jesús Galdámez. 1931 He left behind his apprenticeship to a local carpenter and entered the minor seminary in San Miguel, run by the Claretians. 1937 In January he began studies at the major seminary in San Salvador. In September he was sent to the Pío Latino College in Rome and studied for the priesthood at the Gregorian University. 1942 Romero was ordained priest in Rome on April 4th and then began studies for a doctorate on ascetical theology. 1943 With the intensification of World War II he was sent back to El Salvador, via Cuba where he was interned for three months, arriving in his home diocese of San Miguel in December. 1944 He celebrated his first Mass in Ciudad Barrios on January 11th. Soon afterwards he was appointed Parish Priest of Anamorós and subsequently as Pastor and Cathedral Administrator in San Miguel. There followed more than two decades of devoted priestly service to the Church in San Miguel. 1967 On April 4th Romero celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination and received the title ‘Monsignor’. He left San Miguel behind and moved to San Salvador to take up the position of Secretary of the Salvadoran Bishops’ Conference.
