The rank of the celebration, namely Solemnity, Feast, or Memorial, is indicated for each day. If no other indication is given, the celebration is an Optional Memorial. 2. For each Solemnity and Feast a complete proper Mass is provided. This is therefore said as printed. 3. As regards Memorials, the following are to be observed: a) The proper texts proposed for certain days are always to be used. b) Whenever there is a reference to a particular Common, the more appropriate texts should be chosen according to the principles explained at the beginning of the Commons. The page reference given in each case only indicates a text that is particularly suitable. c) If, however, a reference is given to several Commons, one or other of them may be used, with due regard for pastoral concerns; it is always allowed to exchange texts among several Masses of the same Common. For example, if a Saint is both a Martyr and a Bishop, either the Common of Martyrs or the Common of Pastors (for Bishops) may be used. d) Moreover, as well as the Commons that refer to a particular category of Saint (e.g., of Martyrs, Virgins, Pastors, etc.), it is always permitted to use the texts from the Common of Holy Men and Women, which refers to Sainthood in general. e) The Prayers over the Offerings and after Communion, unless they are proper, are taken either from the Common or from the current time of the liturgical year. 4. The Masses contained in this Proper of Saints are also used as Votive Masses, with the exception of Masses of the mysteries of the life of the Lord and of the Blessed Virgin Mary (see General Instruction of the Roman Missal, no. 375) and also of Masses of certain Saints for whom a special Votive Mass is provided. When Masses of the Proper of Saints are used as Votive Masses, words in the prayers indicating the heavenly birthday or the Solemnity or Feast are not used but are replaced by the word memorial or commemoration.

    A Film By In Association With A s we celebrate the journey of Detroit’s own Bl. Solanus Casey to Sainthood, we can each take our own personal journey of discovery: How does a humble boy from Irish Immigrant parents rise to the rare and distinguished honor of beatifcation? Who was Bernard Casey growing up? What decisions did he make in his life that set him on a path to become one of the few humans to walk the earth as a saint and to ending up as a beacon of hope and prayers for those who believe? What role did God play in each step of his remarkable pathway to sainthood? What is the historical signifcance of the Capuchin Friars? Where did they originate, and among many order, what was it about this particular one that impelled Bl. Solanus Casey to become a Capuchin-Franciscan Friar? What would life have been like for a Capuchin Friar in Detroit in the 20s, 30s and 40s? What impact did they have on the community? When specifcally did the journey to sainthood begin for Bl. Solanus Casey, or was it preordained from his birth? How is sainthood decided? What constitutes a miracle in Catholic dogma? How has the power of prayer and faith helped others? Over the course of the next year, Emmy awarded producer director Keith Famie, along with the crew at Visionalist Entertainment Productions, will dedicate their time and technical expertise to tell the story of “Blessed Casey’s Journey to Sainthood”. We will delve deep into who the man in the habit was and what this will mean to the Motor City and, now, as he is revered among the most holy of icons in the Catholic Church, to the world.

  • Peter of Atroa (773–837) Basil the Great (329–79)
    JANUARY 1 Peter of Atroa (773–837) EMinistry under duress Ephesus is a popular archaeological site on the western coast of today’s Turkey. The apostle Paul established a Christian congregation there on his first missionary journey, remaining there three years, ministering to first-generation Christians. About seven hundred years later, Peter of Atroa was born to Christian parents in the neighborhood of Ephesus. Peter had natural spiritual interests, and at eighteen, he became a monk, and a few years later, an ordained priest. As he began a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, a mystical vision turned him and his companion aside with the inspiration to build a monastery. A strong work resulted and Peter became the monastery’s leader at the age of thirty-two. People sought him because of his reputation as a healer and because of his sensitive spirit. The early ninth century was a difficult time for Christians in that part of the world. Persecution increased with each passing year, and Peter worked fervently to protect his monks from harm. He died on the first day of January, 837, in the chapel choir, while his brother monks sang around him. JANUARY 2 Basil the Great (329–79) EClear thinking Popular heresy has always been a threat to basic Christian doctrine. It was rampant in the early centuries, and one attractively 1 Butler’s Lives of Saints expressed teaching was Arianism. The controversy began in Alexandria, in about 320, as a dispute between Arius and his bishop. Arius thought that Christ was neither fully God nor fully human, but something in between.

MARCELO SÁNCHEZ SORONDO ‘Remota itaque iustitia quid sunt regna nisi magna latrocinia?’ (St Augustine, De Civ. Dei, IV, 4; PL. 41, 115) ‘Nowhere that the human being makes himself the one lord of the world and owner of himself can justice exist. There, it is only the desire for power and private interests that can prevail’ (Benedict XVI, Homily of 2 October 2005) I am very conscious of the declaration of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, the first Polish Pope in history and thus a man from a country that has suffered great injustice, to the effect that ‘Peace is born not only from the elimination of theatres of war. Even if all these latter were eliminated oth- ers would inevitably appear, if injustice and oppression continue to govern the world. Peace is born of justice: Opus iustitiae pax’.1 The almost imme- morial origin of the idea of justice, its emergence beyond the mythical matrix of Greek tragedy, and the perpetuation of its divine connotations in secular societies, shows that the sense of justice is not limited to the con- struction of legal systems, which, however it never ceases to generate and nourish.2 Writing within a context of realism, St Thomas Aquinas affirmed 1 John Paul II, Address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, 12 November 1983, in The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Papal Addresses to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences 1917-2002 and to the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences 1994-2002.

  • Heavenly Helpers of the Heart of Jesus
    Live + Jesus HEAVENLY HELPERS OF THE HEART OF JESUS St. Margaret Mary and St. Padre Pio by Sr. Judith Clare October 2009 Dear Friends of the Heart of Christ, This is my favorite time of year. Not only do I love the change in seasons—the crisper and cooler air, the new colors that delight the eye, the shifts in lighting and the quieter, darker mornings here in Tyringham—I also am so grateful that the Church has given us so many wonderful examples in the lives of the saints to inspire us and help us along our daily path. This is the time of year when we celebrate the lives of Padre Pio, St. Therese, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Faustina, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Margaret Mary, the archangels and guardian angels, Our Lady of the Rosary and so many other “big names” in the heavenly realms. They are given to us as models, guides, teachers and intercessors for all our needs. Thinking about this October talk, I wanted to share with you some good thoughts from the life of St. Margaret Mary whose feast we celebrate on the 16th. Yet, I’ve been distracted somewhat in that… It started on the feast of Saint Padre Pio which happened to fall on a Wednesday this year. Wednesdays are special days here in our Tyringham Monastery when we have what we call “Early Night.” That means that we don’t have evening recreation and Night Prayer is said privately. In other words we are free and can, if we wish, go to bed early.
