  • Carmelite Echoes in the Lourdes Grotto
    Carmelite echoes in the Lourdes Grotto Johan Bergström-Allen When the editor of Carmel in the World asked me to write an article about the link between Carmelite spirituality and Lourdes, the famous shrine of Our Lady in south-western France, I was very happy to do so because it’s a tremendously important place in my life. I’ve been lucky enough to have gone there on pilgrimage many times, including several visits in the Jubilee Year of 2008 which marks the 150th anniversary of Mary’s apparitions to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. Carmelite friar Fr. Tony Lester, O.Carm. preaching at the Grotto in Lourdes. But before I can tell you why I think there’s a strong link between the message of Lourdes and Carmelite spirituality, there’s something I feel I have to say first: I am not a big fan of apparitions generally. There, I feel better for writing that! Let me explain… When I was a teenager (all of a decade ago), I used to be very attracted by the extraordinary (even spooky) parts of our Catholic faith. Visions, weeping statues, saints who could reveal your past and your future, stigmata, Eucharistic miracles and so on – I was fascinated by it all. And when I first came to Lourdes aged thirteen I discovered all sorts of out-of-the-ordinary things to excite me: a vision story, miraculous healings, ‘holy’ water, and enough glow-in-the-dark crucifixes and tacky religious art to fill the town’s three basilicas and numerous chapels. There’s nothing wrong with piety, of course, but it needs to be balanced and sensible.

The first marian apparition is claimed by Zaragoza: AD 40 to St James. A more definite claim is that of Le Puy (AD 420). O'Carroll [1986; 1] notes that Gregory of Nyssa reported a marian apparition to St Gregory the Wonderworker ('Thaumaturgus') in the 3rd century, and Ashton [1988; 188] records the 4th-century marian apparition that is supposed to have led to the building of Santa Maria Maggiore basilica, Rome.

From the beginnings of human history, people have designated particular locations as sacred and traveled to them in a pilgrimage. When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 314 CE, Christian shrines emerged very soon at martyrs’ tombs and other places of historical importance in development of this religion. The distribution of physical relics created many of the Christian shrines in Western Europe. Popular belief concerning Mary began to evolve upon Jesus’ death; and in turn, most of these beliefs were adopted into Roman Catholic doctrine and became Mariology or Marianism, the veneration of Mary. In Western Europe, a number of shrines were created from an apparition of Mary to local people, and with any shrine’s approval by the institutional Church, it gained an international reputation and following; shrines not granted this approval by the Church have remained less internationally well-known and mostly locally based.

  • Koch Foundation 2010 Annual Report
    Young Catholics: Future Evangelists of the Faith FOUNDATION, INC. 2010 Annual Report Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the finances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but financially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Letter from the Executive Director The increase in the number of young Catholics brings the Church fresh energy and new ways of spreading the Catholic faith. As young Catholics care for their families, fulfill their employment responsibilities, and interact through numerous social networks, they develop new opportunities to evangelize. Whether using social media, holding discus- sion groups, serving in soup kitchens, becoming youth ministers, or evangelizing in vari- ous missions, these young Catholics have developed methods of spreading the faith that are extremely effective in today’s technological world. Parishes in dioceses worldwide have witnessed an increase in the participation of young adults in the Catholic faith. Young Catholics are learning more about Christ’s love and strengthening their commitment to their faith through their participation in an increasing number of ministries. Their spiritual hunger and their thirst for knowledge provide the Church opportunities to satisfy these needs by making these young adults integral parts of the universal Church and of the individual parishes.

Guest Editorial CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS AS LITTLE CHILDREN he real meaning and spirit of Christmas is so often lost Tin the scramble for extravagant decor, ostentatious gifts, specialized cuisine, and elaborate parties. Sadly, instead of dwelling on the spiritual dimensions of Advent, too much valuable time is spent in shopping, cake-making, gift-wrapping, card-making and house-cleaning. Even penitential actions and choir practices tend to become routinized rituals rather than experiences of purification and blessing. Instead of spending time in personal reflection and contemplative prayer, families are pressurized into a cascade of grand-scale plans, and high-speed activities. Our religious communities also tend to get pulled into the frenzy of the Christmas preparation syndrome, following cultural protocols that overpower the capacity for loving fellowship and spiritual sustenance. What we really need to do during this season is to give time and attention to a meditative remembrance of the Word made incarnate in fragile human form, honouring the revelation that Christmas inaugurates the kingdom of heaven. Our souls need to resound with the praise and salutation of the multitude of heavenly hosts who joined the angel messenger singing, “Glory to God in Vidyajyoti Journal of Theological Reflection, Vol.82/12 December 2018 p. 3 882 PEARL DREGO GUEST EDITORIAL 883 the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those he favours” not to do this.
