    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER MANE NOBISCUM DOMINE OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS, CLERGY AND FAITHFUL FOR THE YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST OCTOBER 2004–OCTOBER 2005 INTRODUCTION 1. “Stay with us, Lord, for it is almost evening” (cf. Lk 24:29). This was the insistent invitation that the two disciples journeying to Emmaus on the evening of the day of the resurrection addressed to the Wayfarer who had accompanied them on their journey. Weighed down with sadness, they never imagined that this stranger was none other than their Master, risen from the dead. Yet they felt their hearts burning within them (cf. v. 32) as he spoke to them and “explained” the Scriptures. The light of the Word unlocked the hardness of their hearts and “opened their eyes” (cf. v. 31). Amid the shadows of the passing day and the darkness that clouded their spirit, the Wayfarer brought a ray of light which rekindled their hope and led their hearts to yearn for the fullness of light. “Stay with us”, they pleaded. And he agreed. Soon afterwards, Jesus' face would disappear, yet the Master would “stay” with them, hidden in the “breaking of the bread” which had opened their eyes to recognize him. 2. The image of the disciples on the way to Emmaus can serve as a fitting guide for a Year when the Church will be particularly engaged in living out the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. Amid our questions and difficulties, and even our bitter disappointments, the divine Wayfarer continues to walk at our side, opening to us the Scriptures and leading us to a deeper understanding of the 2 mysteries of God.

  • Rosarium Virginis Mariae of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul Ii to the Bishops, Clergy and Faithful on the Most Holy Rosary
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS, CLERGY AND FAITHFUL ON THE MOST HOLY ROSARY INTRODUCTION 1. The Rosary of the Virgin Mary, which gradually took form in the second millennium under the guidance of the Spirit of God, is a prayer loved by countless Saints and encouraged by the Magisterium. Simple yet profound, it still remains, at the dawn of this third millennium, a prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of holiness. It blends easily into the spiritual journey of the Christian life, which, after two thousand years, has lost none of the freshness of its beginnings and feels drawn by the Spirit of God to “set out into the deep” (duc in altum!) in order once more to proclaim, and even cry out, before the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour, “the way, and the truth and the life” (Jn 14:6), “the goal of human history and the point on which the desires of history and civilization turn”.(1) The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christocentric prayer. In the sobriety of its elements, it has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety, of which it can be said to be a compendium.(2) It is an echo of the prayerof Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb. With the Rosary, the Christian people sits at the school of Mary and is led to contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of his love.

Herein, need emerges for a new, ecclesial, trinitarian, and christological paradigm to identify purposes, ends, and goods of Christian marriage. The dissertation‘s body develops the foundation and framework of this new paradigm: a Common Way in Christ. I find this paradigm by putting marriage in dialogue with an ecclesial practice already the subject of rich trinitarian, christological, ecclesial theological development: consecrated religious life.

SECULARISM AS A FALSIFICATION OF HOPE The interventions of the Pontifical magisterium at the beginning of the third millennium are characterized, among other things, by an insistent and ever more explicit appeal to Christian hope. In the Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Europa the very structure of the document is built on the consideration of the present and the future of Europe from the perspective of that theological virtue. One of the passages that the Post-Synodal Exhortation dedicates to the diagnosis of the cultural and sociological situation of the old continent—which is indeed perfectly transferable to other geographic and human areas—describes with intense flourishes some of the symptoms of a marked “dimming of hope”: “by a kind of practical agnosticism and religious indifference whereby many Europeans give the impression of living without spiritual roots—somewhat like heirs who have squandered a patrimony entrusted to them by history. Many people are no longer able to integrate the Gospel message into their daily experience; living one's faith in Jesus becomes increasingly difficult in a social and cultural setting in which that faith is constantly challenged and threatened. In many social settings it is easier to identify oneself as an agnostic than as a believer.

  • THE SUPREME LOVE of the RELIGIOUS HEART: HEART of JESUS Sr
    Teachings of SCTJM - Sr. Christine Hernandez, SCTJM THE SUPREME LOVE OF THE RELIGIOUS HEART: HEART OF JESUS Sr. Christine Hernandez, SCTJM The heart of a religious is a heart only for God, it is an undivided heart; a heart that seeks, in everything, to do the will of God. “The religious vocation in essence is a call of love and for love.”1 There is a covenant of spousal love between a religious heart and God. God calls, one willingly answers entering into a mystery of spousal union. This answering or responding creates a special relationship between Jesus’ Heart and a religious heart; “an answer of love: a love of self-giving, which is the heart of consecration, of the consecration of the person.”2 The call of God is a call of love and the response is a response of love. It is an election made by God, calling some to a closer more intimate following of Christ. When God calls a heart, the heart is so deeply moved that it begins to see ordinary things in a new light. Things that were once important are replaced by things of God; gently, but clearly God begins to covet a heart, draw it closer to Himself, “so I will allure her; I will lead her to the desert and speak to her heart.”3 While He does this, through the Holy Spirit, He pours out all the graces necessary for a response of love; for the response He seeks but will never impose; for the “fiat” of Mary. The heart grows in such love for God and the things of God; it says “I will do what you ask of me simply out of love for you.” It renounces its life, loved ones, career, pets and anything that stands in the way of this spousal union with God; “charity took possession of my soul and filled me with the spirit of self- forgetfulness, and from that time I was always happy.”4.

    MIGUEL PINTO GRILO O Matrimónio, Caminho de Santificação Estudo ético-teológico do pensamento de Karol Wojtyła / João Paulo II Dissertação final Sob orientação de: Prof. Doutor Jorge Teixeira da Cunha Porto 2014 2 PRÉ-SACRAMENTO1 Quem é Ele? O Indizível. A Existência autónoma. O Único. O Criador de tudo. Ao mesmo tempo, uma Comunhão de Pessoas. Nesta Comunhão, uma entrega recíproca da plenitude de verdade, bondade e beleza. Apesar de tudo isto, antes de mais nada – o Indizível. E, todavia, falou-nos de Si. Falou, também, criando o homem à Sua imagem e semelhança. Na policromia sistina, o Criador tem as aparências de um ser humano. É o ancião Omnipotente – um Homem, semelhante ao Adão que Ele cria. E eles? «Ele os criou homem e mulher.» Por graça de Deus receberam um dom. Assumiram em si – na dimensão humana – aquela mútua doação que existe nele. Ambos nus… Não sentiam vergonha, enquanto permanecia este dom – A vergonha sobrevirá com o pecado, mas agora continua o encantamento. Vivem conscientes do dom, embora não saibam exprimi-lo. Mas vivem disto. São puros. Casta placenta superis; pura cum veste venite, Et manibus puris sumite fontis aquam2 – li estas palavras todos os dias, durante oito anos, ao passar o portão da escola de Wadowice. O Pré-sacramento – ser apenas sinal visível de perene Amor. E quando se tornam «um só corpo» – ó admirável união – no horizonte deste conúbio desabrocham a paternidade e a maternidade. – É então que atingem as fontes da vida, que neles se encontram. – Remontam ao Princípio. – Adão conheceu a mulher e ela concebeu e deu à luz.

  • Official Communique 13
    Official Communique 13 Presentation of the decree of the CCCB on the application of the norms of Misericordia Dei My dear fellow priests, It is five years now since I presented to you the letter Misericordia Dei of Pope John Paul II, and provided you with some guidelines for the practice of the ministry of reconciliation while reserving the right to return to the subject once the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments had confirmed the decree that the CCCB intended to put before it. Some revisions and several meetings between the representatives of the CCCB and the Holy See were necessary before the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops received from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments the recognitio requested following a vote by more than a two- thirds majority of the members of the Conference. It was actually on January 18th last that the Conference received the confirmation of its decree. You will find as an appendix the text of the decree in French and English. This decree of the Conference confirms the exceptional character of general absolution and specifies the conditions for it even more precisely. You will realize that the necessary conditions do not obtain in our diocese to enable me to authorize recourse to this third form of the sacrament of penance. In this respect, nothing has changed in what I said to you in my letter of February 9th, 2005 in which I informed you of my decision to give no further approval to the adoption of general absolution.
