She never on the relationship between God and men. From God’s side this initial ceased to believe in the relationship is expressed in Revelation and the Incarnation, and from fulfillment of God’s word, man’s side this relationship is expressed in faith to the revealed word and and so the Church venerates especially incarnated Word – Jesus, son of God. Faith opens this in Mary the purest realization relationship with God and leads man to the fullness of life with God. The of faith. (CCC 148-149). Catechism explains very clearly, that the fundamental goal of man’s life is to know and love God: “God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, Truth of faith in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his The fundamental focus of own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God faith is belief in the Triune draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him God: with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the To God the father: “Faith is first of all a personal adherence of man to fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In God. At the same time, and inseparably, it is a free assent to the whole his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his truth that God has revealed. As personal adherence to God and assent adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life.” Jesus’ mission is to his truth, Christian faith differs from our faith in any human person. continued by His Apostles through proclamation of the Gospel and It is right and just to entrust oneself wholly to God and to believe providing the sacraments according to Jesus’ words: “Go therefore and absolutely what he says.

  • THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY and the FUTURE a PROPOSAL William B
    THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY AND THE FUTURE A PROPOSAL William B. Frazier MM As the third Christian millennium unfolds, Society members are well aware that our numbers are steadily declining. Regions are merging, promotion houses are closing, and efforts are being made to tighten the structures of leadership. The occasion of this paper is an awareness that another step may need to be taken to deal realistically with the situation in which we find ourselves today. Some Society-wide reflection needs to begin regarding the fu- ture of the Society as a whole. In addition to the measures now being taken to right-size and restructure ourselves, should there not be an effort to develop some contingency plans aimed at a time when we might be reduced to a to- ken presence in the countries and peoples we now serve and have such a step forced upon us? What follows is a pro- posal to get the membership thinking about the future of Maryknoll in terms that go beyond the internal adjusting currently under way. On every level of the Society we need to surface scenarios about the Society’s future in face of the possibil- ity of severely reduced membership. It is a matter of preparing ourselves in advance for a series of developments beyond our control, developments that will no longer yield to more and better intra-Societal adjustments. In order to put some flesh on these bones, let me present two scenarios that might be considered. Scenario #1 The Maryknoll Society would remain basically what it is at present and would learn to live and be produc- tive with relatively few permanent members.

  • Maryknoll in Africa Chapter Twelve
    91 MARYKNOLL IN AFRICA CHAPTER TWELVE SHINYANGA DIOCESE, EASTERN PARISHES FROM 1961 TO THE PRESENT GULA, ST. FRANCIS XAVIER PARISH: In Volume Two, Chapter Five on the original six parishes in which the Maryknoll priests started work in Shinyanga in 1954, its work in Gula was covered from pages 359 to 372. It took the history up to October, 1963, when Fr. Walt Stinson was transferred to Ng’wanangi-Nassa and Fr. John Lange was assigned to Gula as pastor in Stinson’s place. Stinson had an unpleasant confrontation with people at a government meeting, unfortunately instigated by Stinson. The government officials brought a charge against him to Fr. Charles Liberatore, the pastor in Nyalikungu at that time. (Bishop Edward McGurkin was in Rome for the Vatican Council, so apparently Liberatore was administering the diocese in McGurkin’s absence.) Stinson moved to Ng’wanangi but in 1964 he returned permanently to the United States. Lange had been ordained in 1958 and worked on Promotion in Minneapolis for four years. In 1962 he was assigned to Tanzania, to Shinyanga Diocese, and studied Kisukuma at the so-called language school in Shinyanga Town, in the house adjacent to the rectory. Fr. Castor Sekwa was assigned to be Lange’s tutor in Kisukuma. Due to the preponderance of Kiswahili in the town, Lange and Sekwa moved to Mipa for some months and then to Bugisi, where Sekwa was needed to cover the parish while Fr. Dick McGarr was on leave. When McGarr returned, Sekwa was transferred elsewhere and Lange remained in Bugisi with McGarr.
