Ireland [email protected] Devotion to iconic religious figures, though being as old as Christianity itself. Furthermore, it can range from being deeply personal and intense (Kasten, 2014; Mayblin, 2014; Ganzevoort, 2008; Jansen & Kuhl, 2008; Ghezzi, 2007; Martin, 2006; Ellsberg, 2006), to superficially tangential and ephemeral (Coles, 2012; Tari & Vanni, 2008), wherein devotional strategies may be rooted in ‘quid pro quo’ dependencies, parental influences, or ‘accidentally triggered’ interest in the hagiography of a particular saint. However, pilgrimage motivations, expectations and experiences are often seen as altogether different matters.

  • Saint Rita of Cascia Catholic.Net
    Saint Rita of Cascia Catholic.net Daughter of Antonio and Amata Lotti, a couple known as the Peacemakers of Jesus; they had Rita late in life. From her early youth, Rita visited the Augustinian nuns at Cascia, Italy, and showed interest in a religious life. However, when she was twelve, her parents betrothed her to Paolo Mancini, an ill-tempered, abusive individual who worked as town watchman, and who was dragged into the political disputes of the Guelphs and Ghibellines. Disappointed but obedient, Rita married him when she was 18, and was the mother of twin sons. She put up with Paolo’s abuses for eighteen years before he was ambushed and stabbed to death. Her sons swore vengeance on the killers of their father, but through the prayers and interventions of Rita, they forgave the offenders. Upon the deaths of her sons, Rita again felt the call to religious life. However, some of the sisters at the Augustinian monastery were relatives of her husband’s murderers, and she was denied entry for fear of causing dissension. Asking for the intervention of Saint John the Baptist, Saint Augustine of Hippo, and Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, she managed to bring the warring factions together, not completely, but sufficiently that there was peace, and she was admitted to the monastery of Saint Mary Magdalen at age 36. Rita lived 40 years in the convent, spending her time in prayer and charity, and working for peace in the region. She was devoted to the Passion, and in response to a prayer to suffer as Christ, she received a chronic head wound that appeared to have been caused by a crown of thorns, and which bled for 15 years.

  • 21 CHAPTER I the Formation of the Missionary Gaspar's Youth The
    !21 CHAPTER I The Formation of the Missionary Gaspar’s Youth The Servant of God was born on January 6, 1786 and was baptized in the parochial church of San Martino ai Monti on the following day. On that occasion, he was given the names of the Holy Magi since the solemnity of the Epiphany was being celebrated. I received this information from the Servant of God himself during our familiar conversations. The Servant of God’s parents were Antonio Del Bufalo and Annunziata Quartieroni. I likewise learned from conversation with the father of the Servant of God as well as from him that at first Antonio was engaged in work in the fields but later, when his income was running short, he applied as a cook in service to the most excellent Altieri house. The Del Bufalos were upright people and were endowed sufficiently for their own maintenance as well as that of the family. They had two sons: one was named Luigi who married the upright young lady Paolina Castellini and were the parents of a daughter whose name was Luigia. The other son, our Servant of God. Luigi and Gaspar’s sister-in-law, as well as his father and mother, are now deceased. As far as I know, the aforementioned parents were full of faith, piety and other virtues made know to me not only by the Servant of God, honoring his father and mother, but also by Monsignor [Antonio] Santelli who was the confessor of his mother and a close friend of the Del Bufalo family.

  • Dear Everyone Connected with the St. Patrick Catholic American Community
    Dear Everyone Connected with the St. Patrick Catholic American Community, Greetings as we approach the last weeks of our summer vacation. This week we welcome our new Vice Rector, Fr. Steve Petroff, CSP. He comes to St. Patrick’s from Chicago, Illinois where he’s been associate pastor of Old St. Mary’s church since July of 2017. A native of Clarkston, Michigan, Fr. Steve earned a B.A. from Oakland University in Rochester, MI, and an M.S. in Hispanic literature and linguistics from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He then spent 20 years in Los Angeles working in marketing and strategic planning for both international companies and specialized firms. Fr. Steve joined the Paulist novitiate in the fall of 2011 and spent Lent of 2012 with the American community in Rome at Santa Susanna. He made his final promises to the Paulist Fathers on September 2, 2016 and was ordained a transitional deacon the next day at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC. After finishing the normal course of priestly formation and earning his M. Div. from The Catholic University of America, Fr. Steve was ordained a priest by Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona on May 20, 2017 at the Paulist mother church, the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, in New York City, along with Paulist Fathers Matthew Berrios, CSP and Stuart Wilson-Smith, CSP. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Fr. Steve and his family who are mourning the loss of his father Joe, who passed away two weeks ago.

He was a Benedictine monk in the monastery ·of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice who later went to Hungary and became tutor of Prince Emeric, son of King Stephen of Hungary. After living as a hermit in Bakonybel, he was appointed bishop of Csamid by King Stephen, where he established a cathedral school. He was killed in the pagan revolt of 1046 and canonized in 1083.2 There is also information on his works: the De divino patrimonio, a commentary on Saint Paul's Letter to the Hebrews, another on the First Letter of John, his sermons in honor ofthe Virgin Mary as weil as a fragment 3 of a homily collection. However, his only work extant in its entire Jength is the Deliberatio supra hymnum trium puerorum, an exegetical treatise on the book of the prophet Daniel (3.57-65) - written in Hungary. lt survives in a single manu­ script, copied in the Jate eleventh century (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm. 62 11).

  • A Prelude to Vatican I: American Bishops and the Definition of The
    NOTE A PRELUDE TO VATICAN I: AMERICAN BISHOPS AND THE DEFINITION OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION American bishops participated in the affairs of the universal Church on a major scale for the first time at the Vatican Council of 1869-70, where their involvement dated from the arrival in Rome on November 1, 1868, of Dr. James A. Corcoran, the sole American representative on the Council's pre­ paratory commissions.1 The First Vatican Council climaxed a sustained campaign by Pope Pius IX against the dominant rationalist philosophy of the nineteenth century, which he had begun in the first year of his pontificate with the Encyclical Qui pluribus of November 9, 1846. The purpose of the present essay is to study the role of the American hierarchy at one significant stage in that campaign, the proceedings leading to the 1854 definition of the Immaculate Conception, and to suggest that the part played by two Ameri­ can bishops, Francis Patrick Kenrick of Baltimore and Michael O'Connor of Pittsburgh, foreshadowed the forthright and critical approach that many of their episcopal colleagues from the United States would take at the Council fifteen years later.2 Interesting light is also thrown on the attitude of the bishops of a century ago with regard to the collegiality of the episcopacy. Preparations for the definition of the Immaculate Conception had begun before Pius IX's flight from the Roman Revolution with the appointment on June 1,1848, of a commission to study the subject.8 While the Pope was in exile at Gaeta, he named a second commission to continue the study,4 and on February 2, 1849, he addressed to the bishops of the Catholic world the Encyclical Ubi primum, in which he asked for a report on the state of devotion to the Immaculate Conception among clergy and faithful, and also for the opinions of the bishops themselves on the projected definition.6 By 1 Cf.
