Twenty Fourth Week in Ordinary Time September 15, 2019
Twenty Fourth Week In Ordinary Time September 15, 2019 Our Lady of Sorrows From the Gusset The Catholic Church looks at St. Thomas Aquinas as Her greatest Theologian. When you see greatness M if you look behind the great there often times is another, who hides in the shadow. In the case of St. Thomas M the other is: St. Albert the Great M his teacher. The martyred good King Wenceslaus (easily the greatest Bohemian Saint) had his grandmother, St. Ludmila, teach him, his Catholic Faith. Grandparents are often that person who lurks in the shadow of those who are great. And that is why we celebrate the Holy Mass in honor of our Grandparents on the Sunday closest to the Feast of St. Ludmila M patron Saint (along with Saints Joachim and Anne) of Grandparents. History will never give St. Albert the Great or St. Ludmila or Saints Joachim and Anne the credit they deserve for their influence on their protégées or grandchildren, but we can. St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Wenceslaus would be first in line to honor their mentor, their grandparents. Let’s you and I be right behind them in thanking God for the gift of our Grandparents. Let us offer the Thanksgiving of the Eucharist to those who help usNnot only to learn our Catholic Faith, but also to live our Catholic Faith! This is also Catechetical Sunday and the first day of our CCD classes. I would like to ask for your prayers for the following generous individuals, who have volunteered to teach our students. -
St. Robert Bellarmine on the Indirect Power
ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE ON THE INDIRECT POWER JOHN COURTNEY MURRAY, SJ. Woodstock College N AN age that is being torn apgxt by a profound spiritual crisis in the I temporal order, it is inevitable that the problem of the relations between the spiritual and temporal should assume ranking importance. No one stands aside from this problem; everyone must adopt some solu tion for it. Secular theorists of the "new man" are urging the neces sary exclusion of the spiritual, in the traditional sense, from any in fluence on temporal affairs, and are enforcing on man his destiny to be the unaided creator of the conditions of his own free life. Christian theorists solve the problem in terms of their own concept of Christianity and the degree and kind of engagement of religion and the church in the affairs of this world that it permits or prescribes; the orthodox Lutheran or Barthian will differ considerably from the contemporary Protestant liberal or freechurchman. In Catholic terms, of course, the cardinal question is that of the spiritual authority of the Church over the temporal—its bases, extension, fields and manner of exercise, techniques of effectiveness, etc. This is an ancient question, with a complicated history; in the details of its answer there has never been, nor is there yet, complete uniformity of view. Writing in the sixteenth century, St. Robert Bellarmine said: "The fact that there is in the Pope a power in regard of temporal affairs is not a matter of opinion but of certainty among Catholics; although there is no lack of disputes over what kind and manner of power it is .. -

IN presenting to the public another volume of Bellarmine’s spiritual works, I trust that, like the one already published, (A Gradual Whereby to Ascend unto God," &c Jones and Dolman London, 1844) it will be found not unworthy of the venerable author’s reputation. He is not indeed equal to many of the great spiritual writers that lived about the time of the 1 Reformation; "Controversy" was his chief delight, his characteristic. -

Lawrence, the Saint Who Teaches the Fervour of Faith
FOOD TRADES AND PATRONS / 1 Lawrence, the saint who teaches the fervour of faith CULTURE 27-03-2021 Liana Marabini St Lawrence the Martyr is the patron saint of cooks, but also of pasta makers, rotisserie workers, and pastry chefs. In iconography, St Lawrence is depicted as a young deacon dressed in the dalmatic, with the attribute of the gridiron, indicating the technique of his torture. (The dalmatic was a garment used in Roman times, which then remained in use as a liturgical vestment consisting of a long tunic with wide sleeves that reached down to the knees. It is the habit of deacons, who wear it during liturgical celebrations. Like the chasuble for presbyters and bishops, it is the outermost garment). In addition, according to hagiographic texts, he was given the palm of martyrdom and the purse of the treasure of the Roman Church, which he redistributed to the poor. Legend and historical truth mingle as details in Lawrence’s story and both serve to understand the Christian significance of the saint. He was born around 225 in the Roman Empire, in Hispania Tarraconensis (Aragon), in the city of Huesca (Osca in Latin), but his birthplace is uncertain; there are sources that state that he may have been born in Valencia, the birthplace of his parents. But Huesca is the birthplace more generally accepted by the sources. As a young man he studied theology in Zaragoza, one of the most prestigious centres of learning. One of the professors of this famous study centre was the future Pope Sixtus II. -

Lawrence of Rome, Archdeacon August 10. Lawrence of Rome. In
Lawrence of Rome, Archdeacon August 10. Lawrence of Rome. In Rome, during the first half of the third century, the government was sold out to Roman so-called deities, and Christians were not to be tolerated. Often they were given the chance to “convert” and prove it by offering sacrifices to the so-called gods. And those who refused were arrested, confined, tortured, and executed. Lawrence was one of the city’s seven deacons–men who cared for the buildings, their contents— who maintained the roofs, repaired the structures, and protected the art. Men who cared for the poor and ill among the congregation. Lawrence took his duty to the buildings and the people seriously. A lot of the Church’s leaders had already been executed. Today’s story is about what happened when the Romans came for Lawrence. On this date in 258, Lawrence outwitted the Emperor of Rome. Strategic generosity trumps going with the flow. About 200 years after the Apostle Paul wrote a famous letter to the believers at Rome, when Lawrence served as deacon, the beheaded bodies of some of his fellow church leaders lay in undignified graves, and the whole congregation suffered terrible poverty and hunger. One day in August, the Emperor sent a messenger to Lawrence and demanded he turn over all the treasures of the church. The Emperor intended to melt down crucifixes and sacred vessels like chalices and sell the gold. He would sell the paintings, too. And brutal Roman soldiers stood ready to aggressively enforce this order. So Lawrence immediately sought direction from Pope Sixtus II. -

2020-08-10 Saint Lawrence
Saint Paul tells us, “He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever” (2 Cor 9:9). The Psalmist tells us, “Lavishly he gives to the poor, his generosity shall endure forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory” (112:9). Both of these readings were selected for the Memorial of Saint Lawrence, a deacon from the third century when the church was under persecution. The Emperor of the Roman Empire, Valerian, had little tolerance for Christians. If they did not make sacrifices to Roman gods, then the priests faced banishment. Finding great resistance among the clergy, he exerted more pressure and ordered the execution of Pope Sixtus II and 4 deacons on the 6th of August. Deacon Lawrence was willing to die on that day and begged the pope, “If I distribute the Precious Blood of our Lord at the altar, why may I not offer my own blood this day as a martyr?” Pope Sixtus II assured him his time of martyrdom would come soon enough. As a deacon in Rome working directly with Pope Sixtus II, Lawrence held a position of trust caring for the temporal goods of the Church … serving the poor by providing alms to help them. He was also an archdeacon often serving alongside the pope at important liturgies. Before his death, Pope Sixtus II ordered a distribution of all that was possible to assist the poor. Soon enough, Deacon Lawrence was taken into custody and asked to surrender the wealth of the church. The persecutors wanted gold and fine jewels.
