Sister Maria Concepcion Zuniga 10. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Introduction HRIST Our Lord said: “Therefore every scribe who is instructed unto Cthe kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.” This is a short collec- tion of quotations from the vast treasure house of the church, about suffering, reparation, atonement, and the cross. No matter how much you have read, you can always find something new. Christ said that he would make all things new, (Apoc. 21:5) that he would establish a new covenant, and put new wine into new bottles. We have now arrived at the newest, the most recent, the last, and perhaps the best, period of human history. “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” 1. St. Gertrude ERTRUDE, a holy virgin most dear to God, was once divinely taught Gthat one who is considering in his heart the image of the Crucified, ought to think he hears Jesus Christ Himself saying to him, with a gentle voice, “Behold, thou seest how for love of thee I hung upon the cross, naked, despised, My whole Body wounded, and every limb stretched.

  • November 2020 Catechesis
    “you must be thirsty for your brothers’ health” CATECHESIS FOR PADRE PIO’S PRAYER GROUPS by Father Luciano Lotti November IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE TO ANNOUNCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD Deuteuronomy (5,22-32) These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness; and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me. When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders came to me. And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us his glory and his majesty, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them. But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer. For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived? Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says. Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.” The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good. Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever! “Go, tell them to return to their tents.

  • Novena to Padre Pio
    NOVENA TO PADRE PIO 1st DAY LOVE FOR JESUS From the Letter to the Romans (8: 35-39) What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? ... In all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, not life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. From the Writings of Padre Pio May the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, enlighten us ever more about the immensity of the eternal inheritance to which we have been destined by the goodness of our Heavenly Father. As our spirit enters this mystery, our soul distances itself from earthly things, and we become desirous of entering our heavenly homeland. (Letters II) Reflection Prayer Loving Saint Pio, you loved Jesus with an ardent and burning love. You manifested this love by your detachment from worldly pleasures, your great love for “sister poverty” which was your true treasure. Through the humiliations you endured silently, grant that we may walk in the light of Divine Grace, that we may come to eternal salvation, and help make us worthy of the name “Christian” we bear. Glory be to the Father ... 2nd DAY ABANDONMENT AND CONFIDENCE IN GOD From the Gospel according to Matthew (8: 5-10) When he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached Jesus and appealed to him, saying, „Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully‟.

  • Memorial of St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina Homily of Bishop Barres St
    1 Memorial of St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina Homily of Bishop Barres St. Agnes Cathedral September 23, 2020 The second chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians and the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew express the charisms and ecclesial mission of the Capuchin priest friar St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968). In his June 16, 2002 homily for the Canonization of St. Pio, Pope St. John Paul II said: “Is it not, precisely, the ‘glory of the Cross’ that shines above all in Padre Pio? How timely is the spirituality of the Cross lived by the humble Capuchin of Pietrelcina. Our time needs to rediscover the value of the Cross in order to open the heart to hope. Throughout his life, he always sought greater conformity with the Crucified, since he was very conscious of having been called to collaborate in a special way in the work of redemption. His holiness cannot be understood without this constant reference to the Cross.” St. Pio died on September 23rd, 1968 and so today we commemorate the 52nd anniversary of his death. He received the stigmata of Christ on September 20th, 1918 and so last Sunday we celebrated the 102nd Anniversary of that moment in Church history. The stigmata are the wounds of Christ – the wounds of Christ in his hands, in his feet and in his side – which he experienced in his passion, crucifixion and death. Certain saints in the history of the Church have been given the gift of the stigmata as a special sign of their union with the Crucified Christ.

  • Padre Pio—Saint and Mystic Being Holy Means Living Exactly As Our Father in Heaven Wants Us to Live
    Padre Pio Newsletter • Issue 70 www.saintpio.org Editors: Diane and Deacon Ron Allen Padre Pio—Saint and Mystic Being holy means living exactly as our Father in heaven wants us to live. You will say that it is difficult. It is. The ideal is a very high one. And yet it is also easy. It is within our reach. When a person becomes ill, there may be no appropriate medicine. But in supernatural affairs, it is not like that. The medicine is always at hand. It is Jesus Christ, present in the Holy Eucharist, and he also gives us his grace in the other sacraments which he established. Let us say again, in word and in action: “Lord, I trust in you. Your ordinary providence, your help each day, is all I need.” — St. Josemaría Escrivá A man from Genoa, Italy had been away from the church for most of his life. On one occasion, one of his friends asked him to deliver a letter to Padre Pio. Since he was not too far from San Giovanni Rotondo at the time, he agreed to do so. The letter needed an immediate reply. When the man knocked on the monastery door, one of the Capuchins directed him to the sacristy. “Just wait here. Padre Pio will be down soon to take the letter,” the Capuchin said. When Padre Pio came to the sacristy, he exchanged a few words with the man. Unimpressed by the encounter, the man wanted to leave the monastery as soon as possible. “I just need a reply to this letter and then I will be on my way,” the man said impatiently.

  • Padre Pio Today We Celebrate a Saint from the 20Th Century, and Certainly
    Padre Pio Today we celebrate a saint from the 20th century, and certainly one of the most fascinating in our tradition. Padre Pio was born on May 25, 1887 in Benevento, Italy. He was named Francesco in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. He was very devout as a child and at an early age drawn to the priesthood. At the age of 15, Francesco joined the Capuchins and took the name Pio. He was ordained to the priesthood on August 10, 1910. Shortly thereafter, he was drafted during World War I. He was discharged after it was discovered that he had tuberculosis. In 1917, he was assigned to the friary in San Giovanni Rotondo. On Sept. 20, 1918, while kneeling in front of a large crucifix, Padre Pio had a vision of Jesus. When the vision ended, he had the visible marks of the crucifixion, making him the first stigmatized priest in the history of the Church. The doctor who examined his wounds could find no natural cause for them. The stigmata (the wounds of Christ) remained open and bleeding for 50 years. Over those 50 years, doctors couldn’t find an explanation for the wounds, which never healed or became infected. They miraculously healed, however, upon his death. Padre Pio rarely left the friary, but crowds of people came to see him. He woke up every morning at 4:00 am to pray before his 5:00 am Mass. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of people waited for the door of the Church to open to attend the Mass.
