One must recite the Rosary every day, and also the Rosary of the Seven PRESIDENT’S Sorrows of Mary, to obtain the favor of repentance.” In his decree on the apparitions COLUMN issued on June 29th, 2001, Bishop Augustin Misago By Bruce G. of Gikongoro, Rwanda, in part states: “It was the visionary Marie Claire Mukangango who brought it back again as she received the mission to teach the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows by the Blessed Virgin Unity of Hearts Devotion Mary of Kibeho. After an intensive research the ad “You must contemplate the Heart of My Mother, as hoc commissions have still not found any evidence you contemplate My own; live in that Heart as you that Marie Claire knew this rosary before the wish to live in Mine; give yourself to that Heart as you beginning of the apparitions. This rosary deserves to give yourself to Mine; spread the love of Her Heart be renewed and spread in the Church. However, this which is wholly united to Mine.” – Jesus, to Venerable prayer does not replace the Holy Rosary. It is one Bertha Petit, Franciscan Tertiary and Belgian mystic, among many exercises of piety admitted in the February 7, 1910 Church.” Known under the title of Our Lady of Kibeho, this apparition has worldwide approval of Dear Calix Family, the Church. In the last edition of The Chalice, I wrote about meditating on the Sorrowful Mysteries while praying The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows recalls the sorrows the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and how this prayer and the Virgin Mother of God endured during Her life, meditation is an effective means of coming to know particularly Her compassion for the suffering and the burning love Jesus has for us in His Heart.

  • Storia Di Una Lunga Fede
    LLee rraaddiiccii Storia di una lunga fede La Vergine Maria e la Passione di Luciano Folpini Prefazione del Cardinale Attilio Nicora Introduzione di don Piero Visconti Edizione Centro Culturale Kairòs Aderente al Progetto Culturale della CEI Gavirate - dicembre 2009 Edizione ebook – marzo 2012 Versione ridotta e senza immagini Storia di una lunga fede La collana Questa collana di libri digitali edita da Kairòs, Centro Culturale del Decanato di Besozzo, nasce per aiutare a conoscere meglio le radici della fede che ha determinato la cultura occidentale, soprat- tutto per le sue verità meno conosciute o date per scontate, con un linguaggio comprensibile a tutti. Ci sono domande a cui molti fedeli non sanno rispondere o rispondono in modo improprio, facen- do nascere il sospetto che la loro fede sia in realtà un castello fumoso di credenze accettate senza spirito critico o frutto di superstizione. Senza conoscenza la fede è debole e non consente al cre- dente di testimoniarla in ogni momento della sua vita. Ma anche chi non crede può qui trovare delle risposte che potrebbero fargli abbandonare i pre- concetti per sostituirli con critiche ragionevoli. Ogni libro di questa collana tratta un argomento cercando di evitare argomentazioni teologiche e religiose, per avvicinarsi il più possibile al racconto, includendo anche alcuni aspetti leggendari che possono migliorarne la lettura e la comprensione. Per ogni argomento si è cercato di risalire alle origini e di cercare poi ricostruirne l’evoluzione attraverso i secoli cercando di evitare le opinioni per limitarsi ai fatti. Ci sono anche riferimenti ad altre fedi quando questo può far meglio conosce- re le origini, l’importanza e il significato dell’argomento oggetto del racconto.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See POPE FRANCIS ANGELUS St. Peter's Square Fifth Sunday of Lent, 6 April 2014 Video Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning! The Gospel of this Fifth Sunday of Lent tells us of the resurrection of Lazarus. It is the culmination of the miraculous “signs” worked by Jesus: this act is too great, too clearly divine to be tolerated by the high priests, who, learning of the fact, decided to kill Jesus (cf. Jn 11:53). Lazarus had already been dead four days, before Jesus arrived; and what he said to the sisters Martha and Mary is engraved forever in the memory of the Christian community. Jesus speaks like this: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die” (Jn 11:25, 26). With this word of the Lord we believe that the life of whoever believes in Jesus and follows his Commandment after death will be transformed into new life, full and immortal. As Jesus is resurrected with his own body, though he does not return to an earthly life, so too will we be raised with our bodies which will have been transfigured into glorified bodies. He expects us with the Father, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, who raised him, he will also raise those who are united to him. Before the sealed tomb of his friend Lazarus, Jesus “cried with a loud voice: ‘Lazarus, come out!’. And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped with a cloth” (vv.
