  • The Christian Testimony of Bl. Isidore Bakanja (1887-1909) Patrick Mullins O.Carm
    DARE: Holy Trinity College Theological Journal 16 The Christian Testimony of Bl. Isidore Bakanja (1887-1909) Patrick Mullins O.Carm When African Christians look for a model of how they should respond to the call of the Gospel despite the many difficulties that they face, Bl. Isidore Bakanja provides an example of the power of Christian witness that often lies untapped in the hearts of those who have completed their Christian initiation. This short paper, outlines the circumstances in which this modern martyr lived and died in order to draw attention to the generosity with which he responded to the light of Christ when it was first revealed to him. His story challenges each one of us, in our diversity, to reflect on the implications of having only one common Father in heaven. Bakanja belonged to the Boangi tribe, who lived in the eastern part of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, the former Zaïre. His father, Iyonzwa, and his mother, Inyka, were pagans and Isidore was born sometime between 1884 and 1885 at Bokendela, a small village in the deep equatorial rain forest, not very far from the stream known as Botato, one of the many tributaries of Congo river. In 1904, when he was about 20 years old, Bakanja left Bokendela, travelling on a small boat made of wood as far as Mbandaka (also called Coquihatville) where he hoped to find work. At first he worked as an assistant mason building houses for the Belgian workers at Mbandaka and it was while working there that he first heard of Christianity.

  • We Are in Need of a Young Believing Church
    We are in Need of a Young Believing Church IYCS Theological Reflection April 2018 Glancing through the list of saints of recent past we find that some of them were martyred and died young. All through the centuries there were a number of young saints, because of their fidelity to God, service to the mankind and safeguarding their celibacy in honour of Christ. They were martyred young because they did not compromise with the worldly pleasures. Their zeal for God and their adherence to faith and truth in achieving the mission of Christ was exemplary. Jesus died young for the cause of truth and salvation of humankind. His followers also died for the same cause. Among the saints, the young saints revamped the Church at various ages. We feel, we are in need of such young saints today who could influence us to follow Christ meaningfully. Especially, for those who are lost to the worldly affairs and yearning to find meaning in life. As we celebrate Holy Easter, the Resurrection of Christ, the life experiences of these young saints may help rejuvenate us and the Church by enkindling our spirit to work for the mission of Christ. We are in need of a young believing Church today. Here are a few examples of young saints: St. Agnes of Rome (Age 12) : Since the fourth century, Agnes has been held at the highest honour of all the virgin martyrs. St. Kateri Tekakwitha (Age 24): Kateri was an Algonquin-Mohawk Native American who converted to Catholicism at the age of 19. Her tribe shunned her, but she was relentless in her love for Jesus for the rest of her life.

They gathered (Francis Kemsley, O.Carm) together to form a community and received a “Way of Life” from Albert, the patriarch of Jerusalem. As the perils of life in the Holy Land increased, a small group of these hermits migrated to England Spanning the Gap - 4 in 1242 where they sought suitable sites in order to continue their Further notes on medieval eremitical way of life. So, the first two foundations which they made bridges were at Hulne, a few miles outside Alnwick in Northumberland and (Brendan Chester-Kadwell) on the riverbank just outside the village of Aylesford in Kent. These communities were soon followed by another at Lossenham and a Upcoming events: 6 fourth at Bradmer on the Norfolk coast (moved a few years later to a 30 March Open Forum site outside the small village of Burnham Norton).

St Therese Calendar 2020_Layout 1 01/10/2019 08:18 Page 3 Dear Friend, The Carmelite Family is very blessed to have a Family of Saints associated with us: Saints Louis and Zélie Martin and their daughter, St. Thérèse of Lisieux. We believe that the Martin Family embody what is best in family life and offer a wonderful example of what a family can become. Consequently, in conjunction with its organisers, we arranged that the Relics of these three extraordinary Saints would be in Ireland for the World Meeting of Families. They travelled around the country so that as many people as possible could visit them and, of course, they were present at the Papal Mass in the Phoenix Park. We were delighted with the positive and warm reception that the Relics received over the five weeks they were in Ireland. I take this opportunity to thank again all those who were involved in this great event. Louis and Zélie were canonized by Pope Francis in 2015, the first couple to be canonized. This was a recognition that married life and parenting are a very special and important vocation.
