But I’ll bet many of us can also relate to the weight we’re feeling right now, as we sit isolated, seemingly helpless in the midst of all this. As I reflected on the weight many of us are feeling, I was drawn to the story of Jesus carrying his cross on the way to Calvary. A number of years ago, I aended a workshop which described, in gruesome detail I might add, the horrors of crucifixion. We were even afforded the ‘opportunity’ to li … or at least try to, an authencally weighted crossbeam, as historians tell us that Jesus likely carried. I could barely li it, let alone drag it, and it was pointed out to me that Jesus did so weakened, having lost a significant amount of blood. Okay, enough detail … but I recall walking away from that workshop wondering … how? How in the world did Jesus, as fully human as you and me, carry that heavy cross in such a weakened state? How? And then it came to me; three of the four Gospels tell us that God called on a bystander to help Jesus.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE GENERAL CHAPTER OF THE PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS (PIME) Consistory Hall Monday, 20 May 2019 [Multimedia] Dear Brothers and Sisters, I receive you with joy on the occasion of your Assembly. I thank the Superior General and I warmly greet all of you, men and women missionaries. With you, I give thanks to the Lord for the long journey that he has enabled your Institute to undertake in the nearly 170 years since its founding, which took place in Milan, as the Seminary for Foreign Missions. Let us recall the protagonist of its origins: Bishop Angelo Ramazzotti, then the Bishop of Pavia. He took up a desire of Pope Pius IX and had the felicitous idea of involving the Bishops of Lombardy in the foundation, on the basis of the principle of the co-responsibility of all dioceses to spread the Gospel to peoples who did not yet know Jesus Christ. At that time it was a novelty, preceded only by the foundation of the Institute for Foreign Missions of Paris. Up until then, the missionary apostolate was wholly in the hands of Religious Orders and Congregations. With the Institutes of Paris and of Milan, it began to be adopted by the particular Churches, which were working hard to open themselves outwards to the whole world, to send their priests beyond their own borders. As the years passed, PIME followed its own course and developed in part like other Religious Congregations, although not identifying itself with them.

  • Bounded Missionary Families
    BOUNDED MISSIONARY FAMILIES Collaboration among Institutes inspired by PIME missionaries Introduction The idea of a reunion of the Institutes and ecclesial realities founded or inspired by some of PIME’s missionaries came during a meeting in August 2017 between the PIME Directorate General and the Directorate General of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate. The objective of this reunion is twofold: the first reason is to strengthen, in the spirit of the PIME Family, the relationship that began many years ago through some of our PIME missionaries. As time went on, in recent years this relationship has weakened between us as each of our entities took different paths, and contact decreased; the second reason is to know more about us so that each one of these realities linked to PIME and its Spirituality, albeit expressed in different ways, can pray for all the other entities that make up a real spirit of Family. On February 2019, we finally got to meet personally and we shared our ideas on Mission and saw if there is any possibility for collaboration. On October 2019, it was then agreed that this working group would be called “BMF - Bounded Missionary Families, Collaboration among Institutes inspired by PIME missionaries”. This booklet contains the directories of the Institutes and ecclesial realities founded or inspired by some of our PIME missionaries and it is a first step to better know each other on the long road towards a bigger cooperation between our entities.

    1 From the desk of fr. ken INSIDE mazur Dear Readers, I remember that day ten years ago as if it were just last week. The story is long, sad, and agonizing, even as I recall it in my mind now. In case you did not know, Fr. Steve Baumbusch drowned in a rip- current accident while swimming with PIME Seminarians on the Philippines coast. We were great friends, although, in many ways, we were opposites. He was short and athletic; I am tall and not. When we met in our first year of high school, he was not much of a rule-follower. I tried to follow the rules perhaps too much. Most at odds between the two of us, he was from Ohio and a huge Buckeyes football fan; I am from Michigan and an avid Wolverines fan, their rivals. As we went through the seminary together, we made many friends who were good guys but who left little by little when they realized that the missionary lifestyle was not for them. Soon, there were only a couple of us left in our class. After ordination, we would divide even further, pursuing our vocations ON THE COVER in different directions. Eventually, only he and I remained from a large and extraordinary group of Mission men, and many of us are still friends. Fr. Ace Valdez, PIME, who now Mary’s House, a reflection on the Over seven years, Steve and I were a dream team as we worked side-by-side at the PIME High helps those discerning the 10 influence of Mary in Mexican culture School Seminary in Ohio as teachers, deans, and principals.

  • Nov Dec Bulletin.P65
    2002/282 Editorial As we present the November-December 2002 issue of the SEDOS Bulletin, we first want to inform our readers why this is a double issue. Dominican Father Bernard East, Executive Director of SEDOS since November 2000 and in charge of editing the SEDOS Bulletin, has been asked by his superiors to return to his home-province in Canada. We thank Father Bernard for the work he accomplished in service of the Church and mission. This means SEDOS is looking for a new Executive Director. Due to a temporary shortage of personnel, it was decided to publish a double issue of SEDOS Bulletin instead of one number for November and one for Decem- ber 2002. We want however to inform you that, besides the articles printed in the SEDOS Bulletin, a collection of valuable material in English, French, Italian and Spanish, related to Church and mission, is available on our website www.sedos.org. On a regular base, new articles will be added. We thank all our members and subscribers to the SEDOS Bulletin for their understanding. We want to begin our SEDOS Bulletin by commemorating Cardinal François-Xavier Nguyên Van Thuân, who recently died in Rome. At last years SEDOS Residential Seminar, Cardinal Van Thuân was invited to give witness about his courage and hope in view of the missionary Church of the third millennium. Although for health reasons, he couldnt be present, the presentation he prepared was delivered and much appreciated by all seminar participants. The Cardinals witness full of inspiration has been published in SEDOS Bulletin (Vol.
