You are meeting at your General Assembly with the theme: Live the faith, love life: Catholic Action’s educative commitment, in order to emphasize your love for Christ and the Church and renew the journey of your Association, with the commitment to assume fully your responsibilities as laymen and women in the service of the Gospel. You are children, young people and adults who make yourselves available to the Lord in the Church by a public, solemn commitment to give good witness in every area of life, in communion with your Pastors. Yours is a grass-roots presence in parishes, families, neighbourhoods, and social environments: a presence that you live in your everyday life and in your desire for holiness. Your children, adolescents and young people all want to be lively and happy, generous and courageous, like Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati. You enthusiastically build the city of all with dedication and courageously serve in the institutions, just as Vittorio Bachelet, Bl. Alberto Marvelli did, and Giuseppe Toniolo, who will soon be declared Blessed. In your project of human and Christian formation you desire to be faithful friends of Christ, like Bl. Pierina Morosini and Bl. Antonia Mesina, like Venerable Armida Barelli. You want to make our communities come alive with children who are charming because of the purity of their heart, like Antonietta Meo, and who are capable of drawing also parents to Jesus.

  • Saint Maria Goretti
    Saint Maria Goretti Painting: “Saint Maria Goretti” Located in the Shrine Church Artist: Noah Buchanan [Permission granted to post article by Father Jacques Marie © Clairval Abbey] This past July 6th [year 2002] was the centenary of the passing away of Maria Goretti, whom Pope Pius XII at her canonization on June 26, 1950, called «the Agnes of the twentieth century.» God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God (1 Cor 1: 27-29). During a pilgrimage to the place of the martyrdom of the young saint, on September 29, 1991, Pope John Paul II remarked: «God chose, He glorified a simple young girl from the country, of modest origins. He glorified her with the power of His Spirit… Dearest brothers and sisters! Consider Maria Goretti… She has become a joy for the Church and a source of hope for us.» Maria was born on October 16, 1890, in Corinaldo, in the Ancone province of Italy, into a family poor in earthly goods, but rich in faith and virtues. Every day they had common prayer and the Rosary; on Sundays, Mass and Holy Communion. Maria was the third of seven children of Luigi Goretti and Assunta Carlini. On the day after her birth, she was baptized and consecrated to the Virgin Mary. She received the sacrament of Confirmation at the age of six.

En général, il s'applique aux saintes et bienheureuses préférant rester fidèle à leur foi que céder à la concupiscence de leur bourreau. Elles sont souvent mortes très jeunes. Le terme est employé dès les premiers siècles chrétiens, comme idéal féminin de vie évangélique, en corrélation avec le renoncement monastique à la vie, dans le monde. Pour la foi catholique, il y a martyre (ce qui veut dire « témoin » en grec) en cas de mort violente, si celle­ci est une volonté de témoignage du Christ et de l'Evangile. Le martyre de la pureté est considéré comme tel car : « le corps n’est pas une marchandise, c’est le Temple de l’Esprit. » Celui qui fait violence au corps d’un être « s’attaque à sa personne même », à son intériorité même. La neuvaine aux martyres de la pureté, que vous propose Etoile Notre Dame, nous fera découvrir plusieurs femmes, souvent jeunes, qui préférèrent mourir plutôt que de renoncer à leur virginité, qu’elles avaient offerte à Jésus. Nous demanderons leur intercession pour tous les jeunes d’aujourd’hui qui ont perdu le sens de la valeur de la virginité.
