  • Angela Merici Was Born March 21St, 1474 in Northern Italy a Little Over 25 Miles East of Verona, the Famous Setting for Romeo and Juliet
    Angela Merici was born March 21st, 1474 in Northern Italy a little over 25 miles east of Verona, the famous setting for Romeo and Juliet. Even as a child, Angela took her faith very seriously. At the age of 9, she made a vow of virginity and asked her older sister to do the same. Tragically, her parents died the following year. An uncle welcomed the two sisters into his home and tragedy struck again. Angela’s sister also died suddenly and unexpectedly. One day while alone in the fields, Angela experienced a vision that put her mind to rest about the eternal fate of her sister. “The heavens opened and angels and young women came toward her singing a melody, surrounded by light. One of the young girls was Angela’s sister and she spoke, telling her that God wanted her to establish a company of consecrated virgins.” i When her uncle died, Angela returned to the hometown she knew from early childhood. and opened her home as a school to teach the faith. The school was very popular, and Angela was invited to open a second school in the neighboring city of Brescia. In 1524 at the age of 50, Angela made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land that only strengthened her faith. In Crete, she was suddenly blinded. She continued on her pilgrimage and was cured on her return while praying before a crucifix at the same place where she had lost her sight only weeks before. Angela continued to teach and draw others into a life of holiness by her personal example.ii In 1535, Angela chose twelve virgins to start a new religious order known as the Ursulines.

Perhaps no one in this parish is un- aware of this Holy Year at this point, for we have prepared the whole congregation well enough with a few bulletin announcements and parish events. In this short essay, I would like to discuss the theme of mercy in relation to Pope Francis and to the liturgical year that we are in—Cycle C, with the readings taken from St. Luke’s Gospel for most Sundays of the year. First of all, the very first reflection I wrote for our bulletin—besides the autobiography that I submitted when I first arrived here in July 2013—was on the theme of mercy in the pontificate of Pope Francis (10/20/2013).

  • Mother Luisa Schiantarelli
    Mother Luisa Schiantarelli: Her Passionate Love for Angela Mother Maria Luisa Schiantarelli A short biography Natalina Schiantarelli was born in Venice a few days before Christmas, on December 20, 1718. Her father, Francesco, was a banker; her mother, Elena, furthered the human and Christian education of her daughter. The child was intelligent and endowed with artistic gifts for music and handicrafts, together with a practical good sense. The young girl experienced deep suffering when her father became bankrupt and her family was reduced to poverty. Everything had to be sold, even their home, to satisfy the creditors’ claims. It seems that her father died during that time. Her mother probably had to work for a living when she moved out to different families throughout Europe. Natalina was thus introduced to different European cultures and was particularly gifted in learning new languages. When she was eighteen years of age, her mother died, leaving her completely alone in a foreign country. Her two uncles, Jesuists, called her to Rome and searched for a convent ready to accept their orphaned niece. Natalina herself chose the Ursulines in Via Vittoria where she was welcomed as a boarder and organist, because of her gift for music. The Sisters found her pleasant, friendly, at ease with different members of society, for members of the Roman nobility often came to the monastery, and she was an excellent musician with a practical knowledge of business, which she probably inherited from her father. After two years with the Ursulines, Natalina asked to share their life and began her postulancy on February 26, 1738.

  • St. Angela Merici Feast: January 27
    St. Angela Merici Feast: January 27 Facts Feast Day: January 27 Born at Lystra, Lycaenia, Timothy was the son of a Greek father and Eunice, a converted Jewess. He joined St. Paul when Paul preached at Lystra replacing Barnabas, and became Paul's close friend and confidant. Paul allowed him to be circumcised to placate the Jews, since he was the son of a Jewess, and he then accompanied Paul on his second missionary journey. When Paul was forced to flee Berea because of the enmity of the Jews there, Timothy remained, but after a time was sent to Thessalonica to report on the condition of the Christians there and to encourage them under persecution, a report that led to Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians when he joined Timothy at Corinth. Timothy and Erastus were sent to Macedonia in 58, went to Corinth to remind the Corinthians of Paul's teaching, and then accompanied Paul into Macedonia and Achaia. Timothy was probably with Paul when the Apostle was imprisoned at Caesarea and then Rome, and was himself imprisoned but then freed. According to tradition, he went to Ephesus, became its first bishop, and was stoned to death there when he opposed the pagan festival of Katagogian in honor of Diana. Paul wrote two letters to Timothy, one written about 65 from Macedonia and the second from Rome while he was in prison awaiting execution. His feast day is January 26. St. Angela Merici was an Italian religious educator and founder of the Ursulines whose deep prayer life and relationship with the Lord bore the fruit of mystical encounters with God.

  • A Catholic Tradition
    A Catholic Tradition OWENSBORO, KY www.brescia.edu Introduction Students today have many options when choosing a college or university. For many, opportunities for faith development and spiritual growth are an important part in making that choice. Because of our identity as a Catholic and Ursuline institution, we at Brescia University are proud of the fact that this is a place where you can receive an excellent education and also grow in your faith. I’d like to highlight four ways that the education you receive at Brescia University is unique and will make a difference in your life because of our religious heritage. Every human person is created in the image and likeness of God. Each of us is an unrepeatable individual with the great dignity of being called a child of God. Because of this anthropology we seek to ensure that each of our students is given the proper respect demanded by that dignity. Individualized attention in the Ursuline tradition. Brescia University has inherited a 500 year pedagogical tradition from the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, which is characterized by attention to the needs of the individual student. There is no such thing as a cookie cutter education at Brescia. We strongly believe that each individual has been given the gifts and talents they need to realize their potential. An education should help in the discovery and fulfillment of these gifts. The centrality of moral values. Morality and ethics are understood not simply as following the rules, but as instrumental in helping our students flourish as human persons, fully alive as responsible members of the community.

Rybolt, C.M. [Introduction. To understand the social and religious world in which Saint Vincent and Saint Louise founded the Daughters of Charity, it is helpful to examine other attempts to found com- munities of religious women living and working in "the world". As the author of the following study shows, Vincent's initiative succeeded where others had failed. This paper was delivered as part of the International Vincentian Studies Colloquium in Paris, September 25-26, 1981. Apart from direct citations, the ex- tensive footnotes of the original have not been translated for the sake of readability.] I. The Company of Saint Ursula of Angela Merici Among the forces which, in the fifteenth century and in the first decades of the sixteenth century, operated to bring about the reform of the church "in its head and in its members", com- munities of lay persons and clerics played an important role.
