Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church October 14, 2018 From the Pastor: Mass Intentions for the Week Christian author C.S. Lewis once wrote that Christi- anity is not so much about being nice people but in being Saturday, October 13 "new men." We see this contrast in today's Gospel. 5:00 PM Church Mary O’Reilly "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus first answers in the predictable way. “Follow 5:00 PM Chapel Tim Healy the commandments! "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Sunday, October 14: Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Perhaps for some of us it's easy to answer this Time way. "I'm a good person!" he seems to reply. Does he truly 8:00 AM Kay O’Neil follow all the commandments he professes to follow? Does he -- in word and deed -- check off all the boxes of 10:30 AM Church Prayer petitions of OLSH parishioners the moral law? Perhaps. Whether he's being honest or fudging the truth, Jesus accepts his answer at face value 10:30 AM Chapel Leelamma Philip with compassion. "Jesus, looking at him, loved him." 12 Noon Patrick Teahan But he's not done yet! Jesus wants to remind us Monday, October 15: St Teresa of Jesus, Virgin, Doctor of that this attitude alone is not enough. "Go, sell what you the Church have ... then come, follow me." Jesus' invitation to the young man is radical. Abandon everything that gives you 8:00 AM Dorothy & William Murtha any sense of security. Give it all up for an unknown future 12:30 PM Kitty McGrath (living) with a wandering preacher. 7:30 PM Mary Quirk / Mary Owens Caporal (living) Tuesday, October 16: St. Hedwig, Religious; St. Margaret The Christian life is not easy. "How hard it is to en- Mary Alacoque, Virgin ter the kingdom of God!" It's easier, Jesus says, for a gigan- tic camel to squeeze itself through a tiny needle's eye. But 8:00 AM Leocadio Bonifacio the God of the universe creates out of nothing, breaks the bars of hell, and raises the dead to life. Is a needle's eye 12:30 PM Zelko & Stanko Grbic really such an obstacle? Wednesday, October 17: St. Ignatious of Antioch, Bishop, Jesus' invitation is always bigger than our own limi- Martyr tations. This week, what do we need to offer up? How is Jesus inviting us to follow him? https://www.portal.4lpi.com/user/download/ 8:00 AM Intention Available single/filename/B143OT28_cf08_2018.txt 12:30 PM Ann Phelan & Tom Handley With love and prayers, Fr.

  • Possible Historical Traces in the Doctrina Addai
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 9.1, 51-127 © 2006 [2009] by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press POSSIBLE HISTORICAL TRACES IN THE DOCTRINA ADDAI ILARIA L. E. RAMELLI CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE SACRED HEART, MILAN 1 ABSTRACT The Teaching of Addai is a Syriac document convincingly dated by some scholars in the fourth or fifth century AD. I agree with this dating, but I think that there may be some points containing possible historical traces that go back even to the first century AD, such as the letters exchanged by king Abgar and Tiberius. Some elements in them point to the real historical context of the reign of Abgar ‘the Black’ in the first century. The author of the Doctrina might have known the tradition of some historical letters written by Abgar and Tiberius. [1] Recent scholarship often dates the Doctrina Addai, or Teaching of Addai,2 to the fourth century AD or the early fifth, a date already 1 This is a revised version of a paper delivered at the SBL International Meeting, Groningen, July 26 2004, Ancient Near East section: I wish to thank very much all those who discussed it and so helped to improve it, including the referees of the journal. 2 Extant in mss of the fifth-sixth cent.

  • New User Guide NOVEMBER 4, ST. CHARLES BORROMEO
    NOVEMBER 4, ST. CHARLES BORROMEO, CONFESSOR & BISHOP Errors? [email protected] About fifty years after the Protestant heresy began, Our Lord raised up a mere youth to renew the face of His Church. The lifework of St. Charles may be divided into two periods, first, the activities he discharged beside his uncle Pius IV which embraced not only Rome but the Universal Church. Secondly, the pastoral office which he filled at Milan, as the Bishop and Apostle of that diocese. He may be said to have directed from Rome the last phase of the Council of Trent. The zeal displayed by St. Charles in fulfilling his pastoral duties is almost incredible. His field of action as Archbishop of Milan and Legate of the Holy See was very extensive. Yet there was no deserted Alpine village which was not included in his pastoral visitation. His biographers tell us that in three weeks he consecrated no less than fifteen churches. He established a seminary, whose rules have been the basis of seminary regulations since that time. He died November 4,1584. Commemoration of Sts. Vitalis & Agricola, Martyrs: St. Vitalis, the servant of St. Agricola, by his courage in bearing the most atrocious tortures for the Faith, encouraged his master to die bravely with him for Christ. They suffered at Bologna in Italy about the year 300.

Clark, Supervisor ___________________________ Dr. Lucas Van Rompay ___________________________ Dr. J. Warren Smith ___________________________ Dr. J.

This dissertation examines his writings on virginity in the interest of illuminating the historical and social contexts of his teachings. Considering Ambrose’s treatises on virginity as literary productions with social, political, and theological functions in Milanese society, I look at the various ways in which the bishop of Milan formulated ascetic discourse in response to the needs and expectations of his audience. Furthermore, I attend to the various discontinuities in Ambrose’s ascetic writings in the hope of illuminating what kinds of ideological work these texts were intended to perform by the bishop within Milanese society and beyond.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 24 March 2010 Saint Albert the Great Dear Brothers and Sisters, One of the great masters of medieval theology is St Albert the Great. The title "Great", (Magnus), with which he has passed into history indicates the vastness and depth of his teaching, which he combined with holiness of life. However, his contemporaries did not hesitate to attribute to him titles of excellence even then. One of his disciples, Ulric of Strasbourg, called him the "wonder and miracle of our epoch". He was born in Germany at the beginning of the 13th century. When he was still young he went to Italy, to Padua, the seat of one of the most famous medieval universities. He devoted himself to the study of the so-called "liberal arts": grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music, that is, to culture in general, demonstrating that characteristic interest in the natural sciences which was soon to become the favourite field for his specialization. During his stay in Padua he attended the Church of the Dominicans, whom he then joined with the profession of the religious vows. Hagiographic sources suggest that Albert came to this decision gradually. His intense relationship with God, the Dominican Friars' example of holiness, hearing the sermons of Blessed Jordan of Saxony, St Dominic's successor at the Master General of the Order of Preachers, were the decisive factors that helped him to overcome every doubt and even to surmount his family's resistence. God often speaks to us in the years of our youth and points out 2 to us the project of our life.

  • Daily Saints – 7 December St. Ambrose of Milan, Doctor of The
    Daily Saints – 7 December St. Ambrose of Milan, Doctor of the Church Birth Name: Aurelius Ambrose, Born: c.340, Augusta Treverorum, Gallia Belgica, Roman Empire (Modern day Trier, Germany), Died: 4 April 397 (aged 56-57), Mediolanum, Roman Italy, Roman Empire (modern-day Milan, Italy), Feast: December 7, Venerated in Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches, Anglican Communion, Lutheranism, Title as Doctor of the Church, Attributes: Pontifical Vestments, Patronage: Beekeepers, Bees, Bishops, Candle Makers, Domestic animals, Police Officers, learning Saint Ambrose, also known as Aurelius Ambrosius, is one of the four original doctors of the Church. He was the Bishop of Milan and became one of the most important theological figures of the 4th century. Ambrose was born around 340 AD to a Roman Christian family. He grew up with his siblings, Satyrus and Marcellina, in Trier, Belgic Gaul (present-day Germany). It is believed by many that when Ambrose was just an infant, a swarm of bees landed on his face and left behind a drop of honey. To his father, this was a sign that Ambrose would become someone great with a wonderful sense of speaking. After Ambrose's father passed away, he was educated in Rome, where he studied law, literature, and rhetoric. Ambrose received a place on the council, like his father, and was made consular prefect, or the Governor, of Liguria and Emilia around 372. Ambrose’s headquarters were in Milan, the then second capital of Italy. Ambrose remained Governor until 374 when he became the Bishop of Milan. After the former Bishop of Milan died, Ambrose attended the election to prevent any uproars between the Nicene Church and the Arians.

  • Ineffabilis Deus
    THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX, in the bull Ineffablis Deus , proclaimed: We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful. 1 The title Ineffabilis Deus , or “Ineffable God,” emphasizes that the preservation of Mary from sin, including Original Sin, is a gift, given by the “Omnipotent God.” This extraordinary grace is given, as is all grace, through the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all, although, in Mary’s case, grace was given in view of the future death and Resurrection of Jesus. Each of us has experienced the different ways that God has acted to preserve us from sin. We experience our flaws and weakness. As our self- awareness grows, we recognize deep wells of resistance to God as well as our own deeply-entrenched self-centeredness. In different circumstances and deprived of the supports we have had and the graces that we have received, these deep-rooted tendencies could cut us off from God. God’s love has not only brought healing to our sins in the past but has protected us from our own capacity for sin, pulling us out of our sins and turning us from other sins. This has been the grace of the Holy Spirit, given us by the Father through the merits of Jesus.

  • Roman Martyrology by Month
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com Roman Martyrology by Month 1916 Edition January February March April May June July August September October November December The following is the complete text of the Roman Martyrology circa 1900 A.D. Many more Saints and Martyrs have since been entered into this calendar commemorating the heroic faith, the holy deeds, the exemplary lives, and in many cases the glorious deaths of these Milites Christi, or Soldiers of Christ, who gave 1 every fiber of their being to God for His glory, for the sanctification of His Holy Catholic Church, for the conversion of sinners both at home and in partibus infidelium 1, for the salvation of souls, and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as He had last commanded His holy Apostles: “Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Docentes eos servare omnia quæcumque mandavi vobis.” “Going therefore, teach all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (St. Matthew 28.19-20) While the Martyrology presented is complete, it nevertheless does not present us with great detail concerning the lives of those whose names are forever indited within it, still less the complete circumstances surrounding and leading up to their martyrdom. For greater detail of their lives, the sources now available on the Internet are extensive and we encourage you to explore them.2 As it stands, the Martyrology is eminently suited to a brief daily reflection that will inspire us to greater fervor, even to imitate these conspicuously holy men and women in whatever measure our own state in life affords us through the grace and providence of Almighty God.
