You can contact her on 07814 788143 Thursday of this week is the Solemnity of the Ascension The earthly part of Jesus’ ministry comes to a final conclusion. The disciples are charged with going into the world and spreading Good News. The early Christian community will learn that there are many trials and tribulations along the way. What they imagine will unfold is very different from what God has in store for them. This then is very apt for our present time. Art the beginning of this year we could not imagine what has unfolded over the last few months. The future is still very uncertain at the moment. Adjusting to the new normal will be the challenge over the weeks and months to come. We pray that as we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord: Through the healing and life-saving ministry of Jesus our world may be sustained and renewed at this time. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. For those who work in frontline services that they may be strengthened for their work and that their hope may be renewed daily. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. We pray for those who find this lockdown difficult because of loneliness, fear or anxiety that their spirit may be renewed by the presence of the risen Christ. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. For governments and local leaders that in the midst of this pandemic they may truly work for the good of the whole community. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. For young people who find this a difficult time of transit, that they may have the support and accompaniment that they need to see light in the months that lay ahead. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. For all the faithful departed, that they may rest eternally with God in heaven and all who are bereaved and miss a loved one at this time may know the peace embrace of our loving God. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Your own intentions …. God of all consolation, Pour out your abundant love in our world today, May this celebration of the Ascension confirm our faith and open us to be loving in the world. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Zakopane - Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima in Krzeptowki, Poland Sanctuary in Krzeptowki, a place of the Virgin Mary's cult, is closely related to John Paul II. Sanctuary was created in gratitude for saving Karol Wojtyla's life in the unsuccessful assassination attempt on 13th of May 1981. Pallotines, who have been spreading the Fatima cult since 1946, are taking care of the church. The oldest part of the complex, is the chapel of the Immaculate Heart of Virgin Mary, built in 1951, with the statue of Our Lady of Fatima located inside. It was given to cardinal Stefan Wyszynski by the bishop of Fatima and, later, placed in the chapel. On 15th of October 1961, Karol Wojtyla, bishop of Krakow at that time, consecrated the chapel and the statue. On 21st of October 1987, pope John Paul II crowned the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The church of Our Lady of Fatima is situated next to the chapel. The building was erected between the year 1987 and 1992. The temple was consecrated by John Paul II on 7th of June 1997 during his 6th pilgrimage to Poland. Sanctuary grounds are also home to two monuments of John Paul II and the altar, on which John Paul II conducted the mass in Zakopane in 1997, was moved there. The place has become a destination of many pilgrimages and Pallottine Fathers are serving there in many languages. https://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/Attraction_Review-g274793-d3524293-Reviews- Shrine_of_Our_Lady_of_Fatima-Zakopane_Lesser_Poland_Province_Southern_Poland.html Thanking God and Our Lady of Fatima for saving John Paul II from attempted assassination in 1981 – Polish mountaineers’ from ZAKOPANE with PALLOTTINE FATHERS – erected the Votive Church – see it & visit in Poland www.pilgrimage-poland.eu/en/poland--sanctuary--zakopane--krzeptowki 13 OF MAY – OUR LADY OF FATIMA AND UNIVERSARY OF Attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II - see details at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Pope_John_Paul_II Homily of John Paul II, in Fatima in 2000 - http://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul- ii/en/travels/2000/documents/hf_jp-ii_hom_20000513_beatification-fatima.html George Weigel article from 2020 – worth reading this new article and all the comments after it https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2020/05/08/the-soul-of-pope-st-john-paul-ii/ - The Soul of Pope St. John Paul II; We do not grasp John Paul II “from inside” unless we begin from the understanding that he was first and foremost a radically converted Christian disciple. Our Lady of Fatima, Feast day: May 13 21.5K749 May 13 is the anniversary of the apparition of Our Lady to three shepherd children in the small village of Fatima in Portugal in 1917. She appeared six times to Lucia, 9, and her cousins Francisco, 8, and his sister Jacinta, 6, between May 13, 1917 and October 13, 1917. The story of Fatima begins in 1916, when, against the backdrop of the First World War which had introduced Europe to the most horrific and powerful forms of warfare yet seen, and a year before the Communist revolution would plunge Russia and later Eastern Europe into six decades of oppression under militant atheistic governments, a resplendent figure appeared to the three children who were in the field tending the family sheep. “I am the Angel of Peace,” said the figure, who appeared to them two more times that year exhorting them to accept the sufferings that the Lord allowed them to undergo as an act of reparation for the sins which offend Him, and to pray constantly for the conversion of sinners. Then, on the 13th day of the month of Our Lady, May 1917, an apparition of ‘a woman all in white, more brilliant than the sun’ presented itself to the three children saying “Please don’t be afraid of me, I’m not going to harm you.” Lucia asked her where she came from and she responded, “I come from Heaven.” The woman wore a white mantle edged with gold and held a rosary in her hand. The woman asked them to pray and devote themselves to the Holy Trinity and to “say the Rosary every day, to bring peace to the world and an end to the war.” She also revealed that the children would suffer, especially from the unbelief of their friends and families, and that the two younger children, Francisco and Jacinta would be taken to Heaven very soon but Lucia would live longer in order to spread her message and devotion to the Immaculate Heart. In the last apparition the woman revealed her name in response to Lucia’s question: “I am the Lady of the Rosary.” That same day, 70,000 people had turned out to witness the apparition, following a promise by the woman that she would show the people that the apparitions were true. They saw the sun make three circles and move around the sky in an incredible zigzag movement in a manner which left no doubt in their minds about the veracity of the apparitions. By 1930 the Bishop had approved of the apparitions and they have been approved by the Church as authentic. The messages Our Lady imparted during the apparitions to the children concerned the violent trials that would afflict the world by means of war, starvation, and the persecution of the Church and the Holy Father in the twentieth century if the world did not make reparation for sins.

IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA AUTOR: ANDREW BOBOLA GARCIA, S.J. VISTO BUENO DEL DIRECTOR ,/ Prof. Dr. D. JOSE GARCIA DE CASTRO 'VALDES, S.J. Fdo. Madrid - Diciembre 201 INTRODUCTION Tears and compunction and the First Week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola Within the context of the classic, month-long Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, the exercises of the First Week constitute a certain sine qua non of fully and deeply experiencing the whole of the Spiritual Exercises. The exercises of the First Week, through the Principal and Foundation, the examinations of conscience (both the particular and general), the invitation to the sacrament of confession and frequent communion, lay down the basic ground work for the conversion experience. They instill in the exercitant1 the important disposition and attitude for continual conversion – a disposition that incisively opens the exercitant up to all the subsequent exercises in an unparalleled way. As such, it is crucial that the exercitant be carefully and completely exposed to all of the dynamics of the meditations of the exercises found within the First Week. Clearly, the central part of the structure of the exercises contained within the First Week hinges upon the meditations on sin and all of its implications and repercussions: from the vile reality of sin and personal sin to the real possibility of damnation and the great gift of salvation wrought by Christ.

  • Funeral Rituals and Civic Community in Seventeenth
    POMPA FUNEBRIS: FUNERAL RITUALS AND CIVIC COMMUNITY IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY VILNIUS By Povilas Dikavičius Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Matthias Riedl Second Reader: Professor György E. Szönyi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 i “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection ii ABSTRACT Baroque urban funerals were festivities which used religious signs and displayed them in a multiconfessional environment. This can be seen as of manifestation of religious difference, which might have presented a pretext for outbreaks of violence. However, most of the time these ceremonies ended without causing additional turmoil. The present thesis aims to explore the possible causes allowing these morbid festivities to remain peaceful and the effects that they might have had on the urban community. The research is based in the latter part of seventeenth-century, when the political discord was widespread in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Vilnius felt the repercussions of the Northern Wars firsthand, for it was occupied twice. This provides for an interesting background to determine if the civic belonging would increase at the time of trouble.
