  • Chinese Catholic Nuns and the Organization of Religious Life in Contemporary China
    religions Article Chinese Catholic Nuns and the Organization of Religious Life in Contemporary China Michel Chambon Anthropology Department, Hanover College, Hanover, IN 47243, USA; [email protected] Received: 25 June 2019; Accepted: 19 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: This article explores the evolution of female religious life within the Catholic Church in China today. Through ethnographic observation, it establishes a spectrum of practices between two main traditions, namely the antique beatas and the modern missionary congregations. The article argues that Chinese nuns create forms of religious life that are quite distinct from more universal Catholic standards: their congregations are always diocesan and involved in multiple forms of apostolate. Despite the little attention they receive, Chinese nuns demonstrate how Chinese Catholics are creative in their appropriation of Christian traditions and their response to social and economic changes. Keywords: christianity in China; catholicism; religious life; gender studies Surveys from 2015 suggest that in the People’s Republic of China, there are 3170 Catholic religious women who belong to 87 registered religious congregations, while 1400 women belong to 37 unregistered ones.1 Thus, there are approximately 4570 Catholics nuns in China, for a general Catholic population that fluctuates between eight to ten million. However, little is known about these women and their forms of religious life, the challenges of their lifestyle, and their current difficulties. Who are those women? How does their religious life manifest and evolve within a rapidly changing Chinese society? What do they tell us about the Catholic Church in China? This paper explores the various forms of religious life in Catholic China to understand how Chinese women appropriate and translate Catholic religious ideals.

  • To Pray the Rosary for Vocations
    TThhee HHoollyy RRoossaarryy ffoorr VVooccaattiioonnss The Holy Rosary is an ancient form of prayer in the Church that dates back to the early Middle Ages. Through this meditative prayer, we join our prayers with those of the Blessed Virgin Mary in asking God for what we need. It is a powerful prayer, indeed. This guide is meant to assist those who pray to focus their prayer of the Rosary for the intentions of Vocations in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. As you pray and meditate on the mysteries, please remember to pray for those who hear God’s call to service in the Church as priests, deacons, bishops, consecrated men and women and holy husbands and wives. Pray that you know your vocation and follow it with generosity and joy. And finally, know that in making this prayer your own you are united not only with Mary and the angels and the saints, but with fellow believers everywhere. Pray the Master of the Harvest to send laborers into His vineyard! How to Pray the Rosary On the crucifix, pray the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

  • Praying for Vocations: a Meditated Rosary For
    PRAYING FOR VOCATIONS: A MEDITATED ROSARY FOR VOCATIONS TO THE PRIESTHOOD AND CONSECRATED LIFE By Monsignor Peter Dunne And Vicki Herout INTRODUCTION In the Mysteries of the Rosary, we contemplate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. But, if we look carefully with the eyes of faith, we may also see the life of a vocation to serve the Lord in His Church unfolding in the rhythm of the mysteries, following the path of the life of Jesus. In the Joyful Mysteries, we first see the seed of vocation appearing, the “infant” vocation, and we pray for its nurturing in devout homes, parishes, and schools. In the Luminous Mysteries, the Mysteries of Light, we contemplate the vocation as it takes its first steps into the light of the Church, and we pray for prayerful discernment. In the Sorrowful Mysteries, we call to mind Jesus’ words, “…unless a grain of wheat falls to the [earth] and dies, it remains a grain of wheat, but if it dies...”1 We pray for young men and women as they enter into formation, preparing to give their lives in service to the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ. Finally, in the Glorious Mysteries, we contemplate in the Resurrection of Jesus the glorious entrance of the newly ordained or professed into the life of Holy Mother Church, and we pray for their mission, service, and fidelity. Let us turn our eyes, then, to Mary and join with Her in praying to the Master of the Harvest that He many send an abundance of laborers into His Holy Vineyard.

  • A Guide to Becoming a Franciscan Friar of the Atonement Formation Overview
    THE ROAD TO CONSECRATED LIFE A guide to becoming a Franciscan Friar of the Atonement Formation Overview The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement is a Roman Catholic Franciscan Community, founded originally in the Episcopal Church to realize the prayer of Jesus: “That all may be one...that the world would believe” (John 17:21-23). Our Community witness in the vowed life of chastity, poverty, and obedience is lived in a way that gives joyful testimony of the fullness of life that God intends for all people. Our name, At-One-Ment, reflects our particular gifts: a passion for the reconciliation of all creation with God and all people with one another. We seek men who are imbued with this same desire to join us. We desire to help, guide, and grow with the men who contemplate religious life in our Community and do not look at the formation process as a hurdle to be jumped over, but rather a wonderful period of time where a man may immerse himself in the goodness of the Holy Spirit and come to understand God’s will. The formation program is designed to enable individuals to develop and appreciate our gift that we may together give witness to the reconciliation that was accomplished by Jesus Christ — Our Atonement. This formation process is designed to engage men in a process of holistic human growth. The areas we seek to develop involve the spiritual, communal, personal, educational, cultural, and ministerial aspects of one’s life. By concentrating in these areas, we seek to bring about wholeness through our community life and quality ministry for the Church.

  • Celebration for the Year of Consecrated Life – 2015 Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary October 7, 2015 Acts 2:42-47; Matthew 5:13-16
    Celebration for the Year of Consecrated Life – 2015 Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary October 7, 2015 Acts 2:42-47; Matthew 5:13-16 When Pope Francis announced that the special year for Consecrated Life would begin in December and continue through this year, it seemed a little senseless to try to gather a large group of people during the winter even though many dioceses honored members of consecrated life on February 2, which is the annual occasion to remember the gift that is consecrated life in the Church. We decided to wait until winter was over and the weather would be nice. No ice, no snow. From all appearances we are getting this in just in time. (Well, maybe it will be another month before we see snow.) “You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world.” Jesus encourages his disciples to be what he calls them to be. We celebrate today, in consecrated life, the fact that so many, including you who come together today, have chosen to strive with the commitment of your lives to follow him in living out those words. It is a wonderful thing to be with you for this celebration of the Year of Consecrated Life here in our diocese. We gather in the glow of the memory of Pope Francis’ visit to us in our country. We are blessed in the diocese with a richness of forms of consecration, of people who live the evangelical counsels and point us beyond ourselves to the love of God.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II FOR THE I WORLD DAY FOR CONSECRATED LIFE Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate, Dear consecrated persons! 1. The celebration of the World Day for Consecrated Life, which will be observed for the first time on 2 February, is intended to help the entire Church to esteem ever more greatly the witness of those persons who have chosen to follow Christ by means of the practice of the evangelical counsels and, at the same time, is intended to be a suitable occasion for consecrated persons to renew their commitment and rekindle the fervor which should inspire their offering of themselves to the Lord. The mission of the consecrated life in the present and in the future of the Church, now at the threshold of the third millenium, concerns not merely those who have received this special charism, but the entire Christian community. In the post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consecrata issued last year, I wrote: "In effect, the consecrated life is at the very heart of the Church as a decisive element for her mission, since it 'manifests the inner nature of the Christian calling' and the striving of the whole Church as Bride towards union with her one Spouse" (VC 3). Thus, I would like to renew the invitation to consecrated persons to look to the future with confidence, relying on the fidelity of God and the power of his grace, who is always able to accomplish new wonders: "You have not only a glorious history to remember and to recount, but also a great history still to be accomplished! Look to the future, where the Spirit is sending you in order to do even greater things" (VC 110).
