Corruption really gets our goat, however. When Monday - 19 Sts. John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues we witness malfeasance, overspending, irresponsibility, and dishonesty Mass 12:10 †Larry Bayne (Joe & Bernadette Bennett) in governmental spending, the grave injustices make an already unpleasant and arduous task even more difficult. The inappropriate distribution and use of hard-earned monies can leave a person quite Eph 2:1-10/Ps 100:1b-2, 3, 4ab, 4c-5 [3b]/Lk 12:13-21 angry and disconnected. It’s bad enough the government wants something from me, now God does, too? God is not concerned necessarily with our money, although its proper Tuesday - 20 St. Paul of the Cross use does factor into our faith life. As the payment of secular taxes Mass 8am †Mary Frances Byrd speaks of our allegiance to the government, our return to God speaks of our allegiance to God. All of creation, even the entire universe, is fashioned in the image and likeness of God. What speaks to God and Eph 2:12-22/Ps 85:9ab-10, 11-12, 13-14 [cf. 9]/ has meaning and relevance to him?

When our exclusive and sincere allegiance is given to God, God can use us to set things right and straight again. The wounds of sin distort our Eph 3:2-12/Is 12:2-3, 4bcd, 5-6 [cf. 3]/Lk 12:39-48 relationship and disorder our world.

In giving Mass 8am †Bill McGivern back to God all that belongs to God, we set the axis of our lives correctly and put our priorities in proper order. All of our relationships, especially with God, our brothers and sisters, and all of creation are Eph 3:14-21/Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 11-12, 18-19 [5b]/ Lk 12:49-53 perceived more clearly as they really are.

H. Newman by Fr. Gregor Lenzen, C.P. Provincial of the South German–Austrian Vice-Province of the Passionists with its seat in Munich. Translated from the German by Sandra Harper Electronic Rights 2004 – Passionist Nuns, Whitesville, KY 42378 All rights reserved The Roman Peasant No account of the conversion of John Henry Newman, the great Christian thinker and future Cardinal, should be written without a reminder of the man who received him into the Catholic Church, namely the Passionist priest Dominic Barberi (1792-1849). Newman himself commemorated him in literature in “Loss and Gain”, his story of a convert, with the following words: “On the Apennines, near Viterbo, there dwelt a shepherd-boy, in the first years of this century, whose mind had early been drawn heavenward; and, one day, as he prayed before an image of the Madonna, he felt a vivid intimation that he was destined to preach the Gospel under the northern sky. There appeared no means by which a Roman peasant should be turned into a missionary; not did the prospect open, when this youth found himself, first a lay- brother, then a Father, in the Congregation of the Passion. Yet, though no external means appeared, the inward impression did not fade; on the contrary it became more definite, and, in process of time, instead of the dim north, England was engraven on his heart.

  • The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion
    The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion 1694-1775 Volume 1 – 1694-1741 Father Louis Therese of Jesus Agonizing, C.P. 1873 Fr. Simon Woods, C.P. (Translated from the third French Edition) 1959 (INDEX TO VOLUME ONE ON FINAL PAGES) DEDICATION to HIS EMINENCE FERDINAND CARDINAL DONNET Archbishop of Bordeaux Your Eminence, The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross, which it is my privilege to dedicate to you, may rightfully be called your very own. Without your Eminence the work may not have been completed, and I may never have realized the idea that I had in mind for a very long time. It is then the humble fruit of a tree planted by your own hands in the vineyard confided to your care by the Heavenly Father. It was when your Eminence was in Rome for the Beatification of our holy Founder that you obtained from His Holiness Pope Pius IX the sons of Saint Paul of the Cross for your Archdiocese… And, if this little family was welcome and took its humble beginnings in the fruitful soil of France under your protection and guidance, is it not due to your paternal interest and initiative? Soon, it is true, a learned and zealous clergy imitated your zeal; but in those days of supreme struggle, of unceasing conflict against the rights of the Church, your Eminence realized that it is necessary that zeal be united with learning, especially when the war “against the Lord and his Christ” becomes so universal.

  • This New Light Which Now I See…
    This new light which now I see… From the writings of Saint Paul of the Cross John Baptist Gorresio and John Mary Cioni 1 Foreword It is true that it is only in the last 30 years or so that the spirituality of Saint Paul of the Cross and the history of the Passionist Congregation which he founded has become available to the Passionist religious of the English-speaking world, thanks to linguistically gifted persons within the Congregation who were generous to devote their time and talents to the work of translation. All of the written documents (mainly letters) of St Paul of the Cross and the testimonies written by his contemporaries have been in the Italian language. These were a little more easily translated into the major European languages of French and Spanish. However it was a long time coming in English. Ever since translations of these beautiful documents have become available in English, a new light dawned in the minds and hearts of many Passionists, particularly in the English- speaking world. There has been a real hunger and thirst amongst these Passionists to want to delve into the character and personality of their spiritual Father, Paul of the Cross, and to be enriched by the spirituality of him who has been described as the greatest mystic of the eighteenth century. The documents contained in this book contributes eminently to this desire and adds to the growing volumes of resources now available to English readers. The slow, tedious and pain-staking work of translation is perhaps easily overlooked by readers when this book is picked up and devoured.

  • Dominic Barberi in Nailsworth Nailsworth’S Italian Missionary – Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God by Brian Torode and Richard Barton in 1987
    Dominic Barberi in Nailsworth Nailsworth’s Italian Missionary – Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God by Brian Torode and Richard Barton in 1987 (Copyright rests with Richard Barton) Tucked between the hamlets of Forest Green and Windsoredge and the heart of modern Nailsworth, overlooking the wooded hillside of Watledge, stands Northfields. The original house was built in about 1707 as the manse or parsonage for the minister of the Forest Green Congregational Chapel. From about 1800, the enlarged house served as a small grammar school which was first run by the minister and was, in 1820, known as Chapel House Academy. The house is situated along Northfields Road, the old road from Stroud into Nailsworth, which passes many of the old cottages that are situated along the spring line. This route would have been well-trodden by the many clothiers, weavers and cloth workers of the area prior to the turnpike roads being constructed along the valley bottoms. 1 Northfields Less than a quarter of a mile away, up the hill, the Independents used to meet in a forest clearing, from as early as 1672, and this outdoor gathering grew into the Forest Green Congregational Church. At this time, Nailsworth was not a town, as we know it today, but merely a collection of scattered hamlets. Forest Green was actually situated within the ancient parish of Avening and, because it was situated over two miles from the medieval parish church, there the practice of non-conformist or independent worship flourished. Quaker meetings thrived in Nailsworth from 1655 and warranted visits from George Fox on three occasions.

  • DOMINIC BARBERI, C. P. an Apostle of England
    DOMINIC BARBERI, C. P. An Apostle of England By Rev. Edmund Thorpe, C. P. CHAPTER ONE On September 4, 1813, Dominic Barberi, then 21 years of age, stood in the dusty Piazza of Viterbo, a town at the foot of Monte Cimino, 54 miles north-west of Rome. He was deep in thought, almost unconscious of the jostling crowds around him who were dispersing after the annual procession in honour of St. Rose, the patron of their city. The sun shone from a cloudless sky. Its heat reflected from the lava blocks with which the Piazza was paved in the thirteenth century, was fierce and overpowering. But neither the movement of the people around him, nor the heat beating up into his face, nor the tumult of voices, snatches of song or cries of recognition, could distract his attention from the problem that was agitating his mind. He had reached a crisis in his life. He had to make a decision which, he felt, would be irrevocable. The question was: should he go to his older brother, Salvatore, who was waiting for him as a matter of course, or should he seek out in her accustomed place the girl whose friendship he had for a long time deliberately but more or less secretly cultivated? Dominic Barberi, in his peasant homespuns, though scrubbed and polished for the festa, would have been the last to consider himself a catch for any girl. He had too much native intelligence and good sense not to know his own limitations. But to marry or not to marry was not exactly the question that was exercising his mind that day—marriage was not just then practicable.

  • Blessed Dominic Barberi Blessed Dominic Barberi, 1792-1849
    Blessed Dominic Barberi Blessed Dominic Barberi, 1792-1849 Dominic was born to a poor family of Italian farmers in 1792. Orphaned at the tender age of eight, an uncle and aunt raised him in the town of Merlano. Young Dominic was not sent to school, but instead was taught to shepherd sheep. But the child always found time to pray as he tended the sheep, and he also diligently taught himself to read and write. When Napoleon closed all the religious houses in Italy, Dominic became acquainted with several Passionists living in exile near his town. During this time, Dominic experienced a divine message to join the Passionists and one day go to England. Dominic had promised God that if he were not drafted, he would become a Passionist. Unfortunately, he soon forgot his promise. Dominic’s uncle and aunt had also planned a marriage for him. But just before the arranged marriage was to take place, he slipped away and instead entered the nearby Passionist monastery at Vetralla. Dominic studied eagerly, for he had a brilliant mind. He was ordained in Rome on March 1, 1821. For the next nineteen years he shared the life and ministries of the Passionists in Italy, but his heart was in England. Mission in England In 1833, Dominic became a delegate to the General Chapter. In this capacity, he was able to plant the seed to send missionaries to England. By the time of the 1839 General Chapter, changes in the Congregation were afoot. The new General Superior was the charismatic Father Anthony Testa.

  • The Saints of Western Pennsylvania by John C
    The Saints of Western Pennsylvania by John C. Bates, Esq. "There is only one sadness - not to be a saint" -Leon Bloy A saint is one who has been officially recognized by the Catholic Church through canonization for having lived a life with an exceptional degree of holiness, sanctity, and virtue - and is therefore believed to be in Heaven. Butler's Lives of the Saints lists more than 2,500 named saints. The precise number is unknown. A decree by Pope Alexander III in 1170 gave the pope the exclusive prerogative to declare saints through the formal process of canonization. The Canonization Process Next comes the second step in the canonization process: an Canonization is a lengthy process that may take many years, even investigation into the life of the Servant of God for evidence of a centuries. The Apostolic Constitution Divinus perfectionis magister "heroic life." The bishop must publicly publish the postulator's (promulgated on January 25, 1983) and its implementing Norms petition and invite the faithful to report any relevant information. to be Observed in Inquiries made by Bishops in the Causes ofSaints He must assign two theologian-censors to examine published and (promulgated on February 7, 1983) establish the procedures.

  • DIARY of ST. PAUL of the CROSS
    DIARY of ST. PAUL OF THE CROSS DEDICATED to Very Reverend Fr. Herman Joseph, C.P. Provincial of Holy Cross Province PREFACE All Passionists are familiar with the growth of Paul Danei in the ways of God. After a boyhood and adolescence fervent in Virtue, he began to run with a giant’s pace after his second “conversion” (c. 1713).We now see him at the age of twenty-six (1729). God has perfected His instrument and is now about to start him on his life-work. This mission to souls was founded on a love as strong as death and a prayer penetrating the heavens. To establish this foundation God called Paul apart to live alone with the Alone during a period of forty days. Though consolations abounded at times, suffering did more abound so that we may say we harvest in gladness from the Rule that which Paul sowed with tears. The sorrow that filled him on going forth from his father’s house may be gathered from a letter written to a hesitating postulant: “O, if you knew the struggles I had to endure before I embraced my present sort of life! The devil filled me with terror, I was moved with compassion for my parents whom I would leave in extreme penury and whose every worldly hope rested on me; I experienced interior desolations, melancholy, fears; it seemed to me as though I would not succeed in keeping up this sort of life; the devil proposed to my mind that I was deluded, that I could serve God some other way, that this was not the kind of life for me and other apprehensions which I pass over in silence.

    True Cross of Our Lord Ex ligno crucis (wood from the Cross) “There they crucified him, and with him two others” John 19:18 The Cross on which Christ was Crucified was brought from the Holy Land to Rome by St. Helen, the mother of the Emperor Constantine in the Fourth Century. The largest remaining portions of it are in Santa Croce Church, in Rome. Due to scarcity, the Church no longer issues relics of the True Cross. This particular reliquary containing extraordinarily large portions of the True Cross was once given as a gift by the bishop of Limoges (France) to the bishop of Marseilles (France) at his Episcopal consecration (see official documentation on back). “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 Fragment of the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary De velo (from the Veil) Profile: Mother of Jesus. Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Betrothed of Saint Joseph. Born: unknown, perhaps 20BC; celebrated on 8 September. Died: unknown; assumed into heaven on a date unknown but celebrated each year on 15 August. Inside this reliquary is a piece of fabric taken from the Veil worn by the Blessed Virgin. Our Lady’s Veil has been venerated from the earliest centuries since she was assumed into Heaven. This particular portion was encased within this theca within the Vatican. It was given to this ministry to allow for world wide veneration.
