The Miraculous Medal and Saint Catherine Labouré II. “You will be my Mother.” Born in France in the year 1806, Catherine Labouré lived seventy years on Earth and entered eternity on the last day of the year 1876. Nineteenth-century France reeled from shock waves created by the Revo- lution of 1789 and from revolts in 1830, 1848, and 1871. In those turbulent years, Catherine was guided by Jesus, His Blessed Mother, and Saint Vincent de Paul. * Catherine’s parents were well educated and respected. Her father’s family lived in the village of Fain- les-Moutiers and her mother’s family in Senailly. Both localities are in the Province of Burgundy (Bourgogne) in eastern France. When Pierre Labouré, Catherine’s father, was twenty or so years of age, he began studies for the priesthood. The 1789 French Revolution adversely impacted seminaries as it did the entire Catholic Church in France. Pierre decided not to pursue a priestly vocation. He married Madeline Gontard on June 4, 1793. Pierre and Madeline made their home initially in Senailly near her family. Later, Pierre brought his family to Fain-les-Moutiers where they lived on a farm inherited from Pierre’s father, Hubert Labouré. It resembled a cloister with a rectangle of buildings surrounding an inner courtyard and a wide gateway leading to the public road. Pierre also served as mayor of Fain from 1811 to September 1815. Pierre and Madeline had seventeen children, ten of whom survived. Catherine was born in Fain on May 2, 1806. She was baptized on the next day in the Church in Fain by Father Georges Mamert, O.S.B., parish priest of nearby Moutiers. Her nickname was Zoé, the name of the saint of the day (May 2) on which she was born. Madeline Labouré died suddenly on October 9, 1815 after twenty-three years of Holy Matrimony. The passing of their be- loved mother caused a major upheaval in the Labouré home. Young Catherine entered her mom’s bedroom one day, climbed on a chair, embraced a statue of the Blessed Virgin, and said with tears in her eyes, “Now, dear Blessed Mother, now you will be my Mother.” ** Pierre called home his twenty-year-old daughter Marie-Louise who had been living in Langres with one of her mother’s sisters. Marie-Louise was considering a religious vocation, but that was put on hold for the time being. She would now run the household in place of her mother. Nine-year-old Catherine and her seven-year-old sister Tonine were sent to live for a time with Pierre’s sister Marguerite, married to Antoine Jeanrot, in the town of Saint-Rémy, five miles northeast of Fain. Two years later, Pierre brought them back home to assist their older sister in running the house. Catherine made her First Holy Communion on January 25, 1818. On May 5, Marie-Louise, with her father’s blessing, en- tered religious life as a postulant in the Sisters of Charity, founded by Saints Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac, at the house in Langres. Twelve-year-old Catherine and ten-year-old Tonine replaced Marie-Louise in her job at the farm. Cath- erine told Tonine, “The two of us will run the house between us.” Catherine became a farm woman and the indispensable right hand of her dad. She was mistress of the homestead. Pierre worked in the fields. Catherine oversaw the living quarters, kitchen, bakehouse, orchard, cowshed, henhouse, and a dovecote that was home to hundreds of pigeons. Catherine was the first to rise in the morning. She provided three meals a day for the family and workers. Soup was usually served for breakfast and vegetable stew with bacon for supper. Catherine milked cows, fed the herds, and brought them to the drinking trough. She provided fodder for the pigs and collected eggs from the hens. Fresh meat was a rarity. Ham and bacon were cured for a meat diet throughout the year. On Thursdays, Catherine traveled by cart to the market in Montbard, some ten miles away. Weekly chores included the laundry and baking loaves of bread. Family members gathered in the evenings for conversation while doing smaller jobs. Prayer before bedtime brought the day to a close.

  • Confirmation
    CONFIRMATION December 1, 2020 Dear Parents and Students, You have elected to register your son/daughter for the St. Agnes Christian Formation program this year. When registering your son/daughter it is stated that our Confirmation program is a two-year program. This program challenges him or her to grow in his or her understanding of the Catholic faith and his or her personal relationship with God. There are several points to make you aware of in preparation for Confirmation (which starts in 8th grade with the student receiving the Sacrament with the completion of 9th grade studies) (due to pandemic this school year completion of 10th grade)). Successful completion of the curriculum includes once a month catechesis, service to others, and spending time with God in prayer. The greatest form of prayer is the celebration of the Mass. As Catholics, we are encouraged to attend weekly Mass in order to recognize God’s love more fully in the Word and Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. While the pandemic poses a particular challenge at this time, students and their families are highly encouraged to either attend weekly Mass in person (Precautions are in place to ensure everyone’s safety) or to seek out an online Mass to encourage growth in love for Christ in preparation for Confirmation. Below is a list of other expectations. Remember, these “assignments” are designed to support our students in their desire to know, love, and serve our wonderful God while helping to prepare them for the reception of the Sacrament. This process for being Confirmed in the Spirit is a commitment from the parish, support from parents, and a commitment from the student that wishes to be Confirmed.

If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Education and pleasure in the early church: perspectives from the East and West Morwenna Ludlow and Sophie Lunn-Rockliffe 1. Introduction In the late fourth century, Maximus, bishop of Turin, returned to his congregation after a few days’ absence, probably to attend a church council. He began his sermon by promising to preach ‘something richer’, to ‘refresh’ them ‘with a sweet sermon’, after returning from what he memorably calls ‘such a swarm of bishops’. ‘That’s right’, Maximus continued: ‘I said “a swarm of bishops”, since like the bee they produce delightful honey from the blossoms of divine scriptures, and whatever pertains to the medicine of souls they make by the skill of their mouth.’1 The arresting image of bishops working like busy bees to distil the Bible into delicious sweetness, introduces our subject: the role of pleasure in education in the late antique, post-Constantinian church. The so-called ‘Fathers of the Church’ sometimes appear rather austere. Ambrose, bishop of Milan in the late fourth century, counselled his fellow clergy to avoid all kinds of jokes; although at times honourable and pleasant, they were, he said, ‘quite at odds with the rule of the church.’2 But Christian teachers and preachers also had a lively awareness of the psychological aspects of pedagogy, and of the power of pleasure and delight to persuade, move, instruct, and even convert.

  • Nicetas of Remesiana and His Time
    STUDIA TEOLOGICZNE NOWE ŻYCIE W CHRYSTUSIE 33(2015) KS. JÓZEF ŁUPIŃSKI NICETAS OF REMESIANA AND HIS TIME Contents: 1. The administrative divisions in the Balkans, 2. Christianization of Dacia, 3. Works of Nicetas of Remesiana, 4. Nicetas and Arianism. The bishop of Remesiana - Nicetas was probably born in 335 AD, died in 414. He was a bishop in the years 366-414. Both in the Catholic Church and in the Orthodox Church he is considered to be a saint. He was “redi- scovered” in the last centuries. Some ancient texts, including the Order of Catechizing, considered Bishop of Remesiana to be one of the fathers of the Church, together with Hilary of Poitiers and Jerome. Theologians and phi- losophers recommend reading the works of Nicetas. Gennadius of Massilia mentions Nicetas in his catalog of writers as “Nicetas Romatianæ civitatis episcopus,” to whom he assigns several works on religious themes1. In Mar- tyrologium Romanum of 1585, Baronius mentions the bishop and the date of his memorial: Nicetas episc. In Dacia 7 Ianu2. Later, the works of Bishop of Remesiana were often attributed to other authors. Some identified him, among others, with Nicetas of Aquileia (454-485) or Nicetius of Trier, e.g. B. Rasponio in the work Sancti Nicete episcopi Aquilejensis3. In VetusMarty- rologium Romanum,published before the Second Vatican Council, the me- morial of Saint Nicetas fell on January 7.

  • You Are God; We Praise You. You Are the Lord; We Acclaim You
    “You are God; we praise you. You are the Lord; we acclaim you. You are the eternal Father; all creation worships you.” December 31 is a day of thanksgiving for the blessings of the Old Year that is passing (yes, we can find bless- ings; perhaps “mixed blessing”). Traditionally the Te Deum is sung in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome on this day (formerly it was sung at the Church of the Gesù). This traditional practice of praying or singing the Te Deum on December 31 offers us a day to thank God for all the days, a moment to bless all the moments of mind and heart, breath and sight. A time to “see” and savor. This ancient and beautiful hymn of praise, formerly attributed both to St Augustine and St Ambrose and now more reliably ascribed to Nicetas of Remesiana (ca. 333/5-414), is so old that its provenance is uncertain (the lines extolling the apostles, prophets and martyrs echo some similar lines in a work of St Cyprian, but this seems to be coincidence. More recently it has been proposed that the Te Deum is part of an ancient Easter Vigil hymn. The Te Deum (whose name is simply the first two words of the prayer itself, not unlike the title of a papal doc- ument) is unique in that it is a part of the Divine Office: it is prayed at the end of Matins/Vigils/Office of Readings after the final reading and before the closing prayer on Sundays and Holy Days. (According to the 1962 rubrics it is said every single day, outside of the penitential seasons of Lent and Advent.) The Divine Of- fice may be a private prayer — and the Office of Readings may be recited at any hour of the day per the Vati- can II rubrics — but for consecrated religious it is generally prayed in common in the middle of the night.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Paul VI Audience Hall Wednesday, 12 December 2007 Saint Paulinus of Nola Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Father of the Church to whom we turn our attention today is St Paulinus of Nola. Paulinus, a contemporary of St Augustine to whom he was bound by a firm friendship, exercised his ministry at Nola in Campania, where he was a monk and later a priest and a Bishop. However, he was originally from Aquitaine in the South of France, to be precise, Bordeaux, where he was born into a high-ranking family. It was here, with the poet Ausonius as his teacher, that he received a fine literary education. He left his native region for the first time to follow his precocious political career, which was to see him rise while still young to the position of Governor of Campania. In this public office he attracted admiration for his gifts of wisdom and gentleness. It was during this period that grace caused the seed of conversion to grow in his heart. The incentive came from the simple and intense faith with which the people honoured the tomb of a saint, Felix the Martyr, at the Shrine of present-day Cimitile. As the head of public government, Paulinus took an interest in this Shrine and had a hospice for the poor built and a road to facilitate access to it for the many pilgrims. While he was doing his best to build the city on earth, he continued discovering the way to the city in Heaven.
