It is a painful separation between two brothers who should value natural human propensity to have and to own things. Having their love for each other more than who got most of the left- and owning things gives us a sense of control and identity. over property. The more deeply we identify with what we own the more The parable Jesus proposes is a practical expression of the painful it is to lose or surrender it to another. Should a person first reading. The rich man is happy and grateful for his good be fortunate enough to attain many things and secure for fortune and abundant harvest. Notice that the focus of his themselves the benefit of wealth, the more likely it will be gladness ends with himself. He appears to be alone in life. that such a person will see and know them self through what He gains satisfaction and apparent security in all he has. The they have. idea of sharing with others does not cross his mind. The From the Book of Ecclesiastes, we are confronted with the possibility of being in relationship or doing some good with uncomfortable reality that all things we hold in this world his abundance is not part of his thinking. will, in time, leave us. The author, in a rather melancholy His first and only thought is to secure what he has attained mood of despair, articulates for us the hard truth of the way for now and for later. This kind of thinking implies a self- life is. Although the reading is not one we are likely to sufficient way of being.

We take a greater or lesser identity in what we leisure and comfort. have. We may readily share our goods, or not so much. A Jesus is not shy about the punch line. Death will come and time comes and the end of life presents itself. The things we all this built up wealth will be left behind. Sadly, the hold then take on a different view. We may fret over the implication is that the soul of the man will be left behind things we have and the fact that they will be left to others, or with all his worldly goods. For all his riches in life, he has we may find relief in the freedom of letting go of it all. been blind to the riches of God and relationship with others. Although not a particularly inviting reading, it does serve A life relationship with possessions and worldly goods is no to alert us to at least ponder the meaning and dignity of our relationship at all. lives beyond our possessions. As Christians who hold a As Christians, our greatest possession is the presence of vision of eternal life through the promise of Christ; a life that God in our very self. We are sanctified beings with the is yet unseen. The reading can be a critical reminder of what power and light of God within ourselves for the purpose of we hold in this life and how it may hold us.

If we build and nurture inner ‘barns’ of enough that we live in a violent and troubled age of anxiety. faith, hope, and love we will find strength against the path of Despite the poverty of many, we live in a consumerist time the world.

What we have and hold then becomes a Christians in an increasingly secular and consumerist culture, resource to share and support the lives of others around us. we are at constant risk to forget or compromise who we are This way of living builds inner peace and creates hope as followers of Jesus in the hope and promise of eternal life. against the greed of the world. Life is about relationship, and relationships are about Faith itself is not a possession. If we hold faith as a connection, bonding together, being a part of one another’s possession, we will be inclined to hold a faith between God lives, and about love. Possessions are necessary in life. They and ourselves. We may practice the rituals of faith expressed are important and give meaning and goodness to who we are through religion and feel we have created a good rapport and what we do. In the end, what will matter the most will be between ourselves and God. This would be wrong. Faith is a how we loved and shared ourselves and all we have with relationship with God expressed and enriched in our others. Sadly, this way of being is an increasing contradiction relationships of love with others. Love is not a possession. It to the way of the world. is a giving away of ourselves for the love and good of others. In the gospel, Jesus encounters the conflict of two brothers Such love aligns us with God who is seen and expressed in haggling over the spoils of their inheritance. It is not the ones we serve in love. Live with love. Share the goodness surprising at all that Jesus avoids the conflict and refuses to of yourself. Bring hope to the world. Be Christ for others. engage in the division of worldly goods. You can only Doing so will find you in the possession of eternal life.

    THREE CATHOLIC REFORMERS OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. MARY H. ALLIES. LONDON : BURNS AND OATES. 1878. AT THE FEET OF ST. GREGORY THE SEVENTH, THE PATTERN OF ALL TRUE REFORMERS, I LAY THIS MEMORIAL OF THREE SAINTS, WHO FOLLOWED IN THEIR DAY HIS EXAMPLE, RESTORING THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S HOUSE BY PREACHING THE PENANCE WHICH THEY PRACTISED. PREFACE. The following pages form only a short sketch in the case of each Saint containing some principal incidents in his life, but sufficient, it is hoped, to give a view of the character and actions, so that the reader may draw for himself the lessons to be derived. The authorities followed are, in the case of St. Vincent, the life in the Acta Sanctorum, and of Ranzano, the last written for the Saint's canoniza- tion, which took place about 1456. Also the life by l'Abbe Bayle has been now and then used. In the case of St. Bernardine, the three lives in the Acta Sanctorum, two of which are by eye- witnesses ; the Analecta, collected from various sources, and the Chronica de San Francisco de Assis; with St. Bernardine's own works. In the case of St. John Capistran, the Acta Sanc- torum, containing the learned commentary of the viii Preface, Bollandists three lives three of his ; by companions, eye-witnesses, viz., Nicholas de Fara, Hieronymus de Utino, Christophorus a Varisio. With regard to the title of Apostle, used occa- sionally of these Saints, for which it is believed there is high authority, it must be only taken in a secondary and subordinate sense.

  • St. Vincent Ferrer Feast: April 5
    St. Vincent Ferrer Feast: April 5 Facts Feast Day: April 5 St. Vincent Ferrer is the patron saint of builders because of his fame for "building up" and strengthening the Church: through his preaching, missionary work, in his teachings, as confessor and adviser. At Valencia in Spain, this illustrious son of St. Dominic came into the world on January 23, 1357. In the year 1374, he entered the Order of St. Dominic in a monastery near his native city. Soon after his profession he was commissioned to deliver lectures on philosophy. On being sent to Barcelona, he continued his scholastic duties and at the same time devoted himself to preaching. At Lerida, the famous university city of Catalonia, he received his doctorate. After this he labored six years in Valencia, during which time he perfected himself in the Christian life. In 1390, he was obliged to accompany Cardinal Pedro de Luna to France, but he soon returned home. When, in 1394, de Luna himself had become Pope at Avignon he summoned St. Vincent and made him Master of the sacred palace. In this capacity St. Vincent made unsuccessful efforts to put an end to the great schism. He refused all ecclesiastical dignities, even the cardinal's hat, and only craved to be appointed apostolical missionary. Now began those labors that made him the famous missionary of the fourteenth century. He evangelized nearly every province of Spain, and preached in France, Italy, Germany, Flanders, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Numerous conversions followed his preaching, which God Himself assisted by the gift of miracles.

  • Eschatology and Discernment of Spirits: the Impact of Peter of John Olivi’S Remedia Contra Temptationes Spirituales (14Th-15Th Centuries)1
    Eschatology and Discernment of Spirits: The Impact of Peter of John Olivi’s Remedia contra Temptationes Spirituales (14th-15th Centuries)1 In the last years of his life, between 1292 and 1298, the Franciscan Peter of John Olivi wrote a series of short devotional texts, known as Opus- cula, aimed at the religious edification of the laity. Olivi’s perspective was strongly eschatological: in his opinion, the imminence of the end of time made lay religious experience more authentic than that of the clergy, which would eventually oppose the final evangelical renewal. Among the twelve surviving Opuscula, the most eschatologically ori- ented is titled Remedia contra temptationes spirituales. The Remedia are characterized by a cautious and rigorous judgment on spiritual gifts, such as visions and raptures. According to Olivi, these phenomena are particularly difficult to discern when the Antichrist is approaching and “some will renounce the faith by paying heed to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons” (I Tim 4, 1). Following this apocalyptic per- spective of discretio spirituum, the Remedia are divided into two parts: the first includes twelve remedies against spiritual temptations, whereas the second puts forward four remedies against corrupt teachers and their doctrines. This structure, however, is not fixed. The work is transmitted by a huge number of manuscripts, and is often attributed, as we will see, to other authors (Bonaventure, Venturino of Bergamo), or forms part of larger works (such as Ludolph of Saxony’s Vita Christi or Vincent Fer- rer’s Tractatus de vita spirituali). Accordingly, its structure remains fluid from version to version.

    Saint Joseph de ClairvalLetter of June 8,Abbey 2018, Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of JESUS Dear Friends, ANUARY 1367. Vincent was seventeen years old when he knocked at the door of the Dominican monastery in Valencia, Spain, to consecrate J his life to Christ. He needed no letter of recommendation: his father, Guillem Ferrer, a royal notary of the city, was well known at the monastery. He and his wife, Constanca Mique, were generous to the monks. The mira- cle that God had performed to signal the child’s special destiny, while the child was still in his mother’s womb, was well remembered in Valencia. When the mother asked a blind woman whom she was aiding to pray for a safe delivery, the poor woman bent her head toward her benefactress’ womb and blessed the child with all her heart. She immediately regained her sight and exclaimed, “Blessed mother! You are carrying an angel who just gave me the light of day!” On January 23, 1350, a boy was born. His parents had him baptized that very day, placing him under the patronage of Saint Vincent, a deacon of Saragossa who was martyred in Valencia around 303. Saint Vincent Ferrer All rights reserved In His mercy, the Lord granted Vincent not only a contemplative spirit to adore Him in the churches and tabernacles where He resides, but He also made him way to the “studium generale” in Barcelona, and finally tremble with admiration at the sight of His works in to Toulouse, which for his Order was the summit of the nature, particularly before the immensity of the sea.
