Beata Maria Troncatti, Vergine
Prot. N. 494/12/L BLESSED MARIA TRONCATTI, virgin She was born at Corteno Golgi (Brescia, Italy) on February 16, 1883. She was fascinated by the missionary ideal from adolescence and this sustained her in the development of her religious vocation. She made her religious profession in the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in 1908, and served in Italy for some years. In 1922 she left for Ecuador, from which, by her own free choice, she never returned. In the forest she evangelised through her care for the sick, and she was the «madrecita buena» («good little mother») for all, both the native Shuar and the colonists. She proclaimed and witnessed the love of the Father to all, along with the protection of Mary Help of Christians. She died at Sucúa on August 25, 1969 as a result of the crash of the small airplane on which she was travelling. From the Common of virgins, or of holy women: those who worked for the underprivileged, with psalms of the day from the psalter. Office of Readings SECOND READING From the Encyclical Redemptoris missio of Blessed John Paul II, pope. (nn. 42. 69-70. 88: AAS 83[1991] 289. 317-318. 335) To live the mystery of Christ as testimony of Spiritual maternity The missionary, who, despite all his or her human limitations and defects, lives a simple life, taking Christ as the model, is a sign of God and of transcendent realities. But everyone in the Church, striving to imitate the Divine Master, can and must bear this kind of witness; in many cases it is the only possible way of being a missionary. -
FMA–INS.Info 10 the Students of Class X After Which the Welcome Address and Message on the Theme by Sir James
FMA–INS.info od gave his only Begotten Son on the day of Christmas. We celebrate this Gmystery of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus, the Son of God into our world. It is the central mystery of our faith. God so loved the world that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ (Jn. 3:16). Love does such things. He loved the humanity and gave himself to all of us. As Baby Jesus brought glad tidings of great joy from the Father, may He fill our hearts with love, joy, peace and happiness. FMA-INS. info wishes all its readers a Holy season of Christmas and may this Christmas help us to extend our hand to help someone, cheer someone and bring someone dear to Baby Jesus. The loss of sense of God among the people especially the youth, the rapid growth of the secularization and growing number of non believers, who still have not heard the Gospel Message provide the context for Pope Benedict XVI to declare the “Year of Faith” beginning on October 11, 2012 until November 24, 2013 as a mark of celebrating 50 years of the second Vatican Council’s Decree on the Church’s Mission Ad Gentes. The Church cannot simply ignore the constant changes that are taking place. It becomes the signs of the times in order to make God’s Word relevant in the contemporary world. Hence the Pope gave a clarion call to the whole universal Church for a renewed urgency on new evangelization. It basically calls for renewal of faith and regaining the faith of the apostles which is handed on by our Lord Jesus Christ to all of us. -

Shillong – 793014, Meghalaya Sr. Maria Troncatti
PROVINCE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY Auxilium, Nongthymmai – Shillong – 793014, Meghalaya CIR/ISB/4/2012 My dear Sisters, Loving greetings from Auxilium, Nongthymmai. I would also like to convey to you the greetings from our Sisters of other Indian Provinces and from those whom I met in Jerusalem. I have just returned from the Holy Land after my Spiritual Retreat. As the disciple of Emmaus I can’t but speak about the beautiful and unique experiences I had in the land of Jesus. Hence, I bring to you the wishes and blessings of Jesus. Deep within me I feel that He wants me to tell you that He loves us and wants us to love Him and to love one another as He loves us. All around the Holy Land: The Holy Sepulchre, Calvary, Bethlehem, Nazareth and everything speaks volumes of the tremendous love of God manifested to us in a tangible way in His beloved Son Jesus. The sight of thousands of Pilgrims who come from all over the world to the Holy Land to profess their faith and show their love for Christ is something very touching, inspiring and thought provoking. Rev. Fr. Mario Queriento from Venice – Italy, our Preacher helped us understand and reflect in-depth the History of Salvation realized and fulfilled in Christ Jesus through the Paschal Mystery. All of us (15 Asian Provincials) were indeed enriched and vivified. We SAW, HEARD, TOUCHED and CONTEMPLATED the marvels of God’s love as we moved from place to place. I prayed earnestly, fervently and lovingly for each one of you, for your parents, near and dear ones and the young people with whom we live and work and for whom we have consecrated our life to God. -
J! M! Most Holy Father! the Sacred Congregation Sent Archbishop Carl
1275: To Pope Pius IX [December 9, 1852] J! M! Most Holy Father! The Sacred Congregation sent Archbishop Carl August Count von Reisach’s plan with regard to the rule and constitutions of the Poor School Sisters to the respectfully undersigned with the directive to comment on it and then to present these remarks to the Holy See. Since I considered this responsibility too serious and too extensive for me to handle alone, I felt obliged to share the plan with my companions, the professed sisters, in order to hear their opinions and advice, because this would involve all of us for time and eternity. The sisters also need to know about this plan, because if it is accepted, they would have to profess their vows and live according to it. After consultation with the sisters, I now submit the following remarks regarding the plan graciously shared with us: 1. The archbishop drew up this plan and presented it to the Holy See in order to provide the Religious Institute of the Poor School Sisters with a canonical form and foundation—that is, statutes approved by the Church—a caring endeavor which we recognize with respect and gratitude. 2. The Society of the Poor School Sisters does not want to evade Church prescripts. The Poor School Sisters desire absolutely nothing other than to live in accordance with the mind and spirit of the Holy Catholic Church so that it can follow its calling on a secure path and count on God’s blessing and help. 3. Just as every order has its own statutes and rules corresponding to the purpose designated by its founders, the Poor School Sisters also desire and require a constitution and rules that provide for their main purpose, that is, the education and character formation of girls and young women. -
THE WAY a Review of Christian Spirituality Published by the British Jesuits

García For Ignatius, the risen Christ ‘consoles’ his friends. José García explores the links between Ignatian consolation and the Easter experience of the first disciples. Spiritual Desolation in Today's World 19-34 Jesús Corella An overview of what Ignatius says about desolation, followed by some reflections on how desolation influences our contemporary culture. What We Learn From Desolation 35-48 Antonio Guillén A commentary on the ninth of Ignatius’ First Week Discernment Rules, exploring the various good things that can come from desolation. From the Ignatian Tradition On Consolation 49-55 Jerónimo Nadal One of Ignatius’ closest confidants on consolation, on ministry and on discernment. Spiritual Consolation and Envy 57-69 Ignacio Iglesias Consolation can easily be disrupted in good people, and one frequent manifestation of such disruption is envy, a besetting sin of religious establishments. Ignacio Iglesias charts this process, and also the possibilities for new regeneration. Angels of Light and Darkness 71-79 Ignatius Jesudasan Ignatius’ rhetoric of light and darkness is dualist, and as such problematic. Angels as the ‘voice of God’ may be nothing more than the internalised voice of the prevailing social order. THE WAY July 2004 The Spirit in Contemporary Culture Religious Symbols in State Institutions 80-93 Anthony Carroll Is it right that crucifixes may be displayed in schools funded by the State? Is it appropriate for Muslim women who are civil employees to wear the headscarf on duty? Such issues have recently led to conflict in a number of countries. -
St. Francis De Sales Feast Day: January 24Th Today We Celebrate St
St. Francis de Sales Feast Day: January 24th Today we celebrate St. Francis de Sales, who was born on August 21, 1567 in the province of Savoy, France. He is the patron saint of writers, journalists, authors and deafness. He grew up, as the eldest of six brothers, in a wealthy family. His parents, François de Sales de Boisy and Françoise de Sionnaz, belonged to old Savoyard aristocratic families. His father intended for Francis to be a lawyer in order to take his place as a senator. He received his doctorate at law school but decided to join the priesthood and eventually became the bishop of Geneva. He was called, “Gentleman Saint,” because of his gentle spirit, and dedication to preaching through compassionate means. While working in the diocese of Geneva, he volunteered to evangelize Le Chablais, where the Genevans had imposed the Reformed Faith, by preaching constantly with zeal, kindness and holiness. He authored many publications (books, pamphlets, etc.), such as The Art of Loving God, Introduction to the Devout Life and Finding God’s Will for You. Many writings were addressed to lay people regarding the universal call of all Catholics to be saints. He was blessed in his ability to return Calvinists to the faith through his simple and clear explanation of Catholic doctrine. Furthermore, he used sign language to convert the deaf and helped found the Order of the Visitation, with Jane de Chantal. He had a stroke on December 27th during a journey, back to the diocese of Geneva. There he received the last sacraments and made his profession of faith, repeating constantly the words: "God's will be done! Jesus, my God and my all!" He died the next day, on December 28th, 1622; he was 55 years old. -
