Covina Blvd. Covina, CA 91724 www.stlouisedm.org St. Louise de Marillac is a Roman Catholic community called together as family to worship, to minister, and to evangelize. As true disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to renew His love and spirit by sharing our time, talent and treasure. St. Louise de Marillac Mission Statement Page 2 SPIRITUALITY AND ENRICHMENT We are People of Hope! “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” (Zephaniah 3:17) Prophets throughout Judaic history prepared us for the coming of Christ. And he came. That is what we just finished celebrang with Christmas! Jesus was born. Jesus grew up in a loving family. He learned a trade. And then, one day, he began his public ministry, fulfilling his mission. He preached, he cured the sick and he taught; both with words and by example. He also le us a person to use, since he knew he would be leaving us, the Holy Spirit! He promised us that there were many rooms in his Father’s house and that he had made a place for us. These are words of hope! There are mes when we look at the world we live in and feel despair. We just went through the most contenous polical campaign in any of our memories. We are sll baling a worldwide pandemic. We sll are told to stay home, and our children have not been with their peers in school for almost a year. However, I suggest we look at the virtue of hope. There is a new administraon in Washington. We need to double down on our prayers that our legislators start to cooperate with each other so they can get policies that benefit the common good. In fact, I encourage you to contact your representaves and tell them just that. We want to see acon. The me for squabbling needs to end. There is a vaccine for this virus that has been a plague on the world. It is taking us me to figure out how we will get it to everyone, but we know the task will get done. This country has faced many big challenges, and we always seem to step up and meet them. We have hope. I think about today’s Gospel. It opens with, “Aer John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of God.” Let’s stop right there. John was arrested. This is Jesus’ cousin, the man who bapzed him and launched his public ministry. Don’t you think that would give Jesus pause? But Jesus connued his mission. Since he was a man, I presume he had to tamp down his feelings to connue his work. He goes on to say, “This is the me of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand…” Jesus had hope. He believed that the kingdom of God was at hand. We connue the mission of Jesus and that includes spreading hope. Pope Francis, in an address he pronounced in 2013, said, “This is how Chrisan hope is: having the certainty that I am walking toward something that is, not something that I hope may be. This is Chrisan hope. Chrisan hope is the expectaon of something that has already been fulfilled and which will certainly be fulfilled for each one of us.” He connues, “Thus, to hope means to learn how to live in expectaon. Learn how to live in expectaon and find life.” An example of living in expectaon is the pregnant woman. For nine months, she lives with the expectaon of a baby being born. She learns how to live with what will be, not what might be. We know we have been saved by the birth, death, and resurrecon of Jesus Christ. Even though Lent is sll a month away, maybe we have felt living in these mes has felt like an awfully long Lenten period. But I believe that we should be able to contemplate and to foretaste, in ourselves and in what surrounds us, the signs of the Resurrecon, of Easter. Once again, there will be a new creaon, as there is each year’s Easter morning. I pray that each of us can keep that Easter hope alive as each day goes by. Pastor ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC CHURCH View this bullen online at www.StLouiseDM.org ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC HAPPENINGS Page 3 FEAST OF ST. FRANCIS DE SALES Feast Day: January 24th Saint Francis de Sales was born on August 21, 1567. As a young man, Francis was sent to study in Paris. While there, he consecrated himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary and made a vow of chasty. Aer Paris, Francis went on to study law in Padua. Once he finished his studies, he told his parents he wished to become a priest. His father strongly objected, but aer much gentle persuasion, he finally relented. Aer his ordinaon, Francis was appointed Provost (archdeacon) of the Diocese of Geneva where he preached, heard confessions, gave advice, and ministered to the people. The archdeacon was the bishop’s assistant and, in some cases, such as caring for the sick, vising prisoners, and training priests, the archdeacon served as the bishop’s representave. In 1602, Francis became the Bishop of Geneva. Francis reformed religious communies and lived simply so that he could provide beer for the poor and needy and whom he loved greatly. He was well known for his paence, goodness, and mild nature. Francis wrote many leers and several books including, “An Introducon to the Devout Life,” “Trease on the Love of God,” and several more! Founder and Patron Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jane Frances de Chantal founded together, in 1607, The Instute of the Visitaon of the Blessed Virgin. This community was founded for young girls and widows who felt called to religious life but lacked the strength for the rigors of other communies. These Sisters, through works of mercy, pracced the virtues Mary exemplified when she visited her cousin, Elizabeth – humility, piety, and charity. Today, some Visitaon Communies teach, while others are cloistered contemplaves. Saint Therese of Lisieux’s sister, Leonie, was a Visitaon Sister and is now a Servant of God. In addion to the Visitaon Order which was specifically founded by Saint Francis de Sales, many other orders have been founded under his patronage, such as Fransalians – Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales, MSFS (founded by Servant of God, Fr. Peter Marie Mermier), the Salesians (founded by Saint John Bosco) and the Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales (founded by Father Louis Brisson). A Path for Everyone The teachings of Saint Francis de Sales focus on the realizaon that holiness and sainthood are for all people. He wanted everyone, no maer what their state in life, to know that they could become Saints! Sayings Saint Francis de Sales has le us with a treasury of sayings that speak in simple ways about what maers most. Here are just a few of his quotes. There are many more! “Be who you are and be that well to give glory to your Creator.” “Have paence with all things, but first of all with yourself.” “Nothing is so strong as gentleness; nothing so gentle as real strength.” “Doing lile things with a strong desire to please God makes them really great.” “What we need is a cup of understanding, a barrel of love, and an ocean of paence.” The Last Days of Saint Francis de Sales Francis de Sales died on December 28, 1622 at the age of fiy-six. His final words were, “God’s will be done! Jesus, my God and my all!” Francis was beafied by Pope Alexander VII in 1661. He was then canonized by Pope Alexander VII four years later in 1665. In 1877, Pope Pius IX declared Saint Francis de Sales a Doctor of the Church, the “Doctor of Love.” Because of his meek and cheerful personality, he is known as “The Gentleman Saint.” He strove to aract people through goodness and gentleness. He used to say, “A spoonful of honey aracts more flies than a barrel of vinegar!” Saint Francis de Sales’ feast day is celebrated on January 24. He is the patron saint of authors, writers, the Catholic Press, journalists, and the deaf. Saint Francis de Sales, pray for us! January 24, 2021 THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Page 4 ST.

    Louise De Marillac and the Spirituality of the Daughters of Charity

    Vincentiana, July-September 2012 Louise de Marillac and the Spirituality of the Daughters of Charity Meeting of Provincial Directors Sr. Antoinette Marie Hance, D.C. Introduction Louise de Marillac is an extraordinary woman and a great mystic, and to speak of her and her spirituality is, in a certain sense, to marvel anew at God’s loving plan for humanity, for the Church, for persons living in poverty, and for God’s preference for the lowly and humble of heart. Yes, God always surprises us, and in taking a new look at the life of Louise de Marillac, and dwelling on the spirituality shared with the fi rst Sisters, we see how God constantly borrows from our ways to reveal His love. I’m going to begin by letting St. Vincent speak. On July 24, 1660, two months before his death, he exhorted the fi rst Sisters as follows: “Sisters, after the example of your good mother, take the resolution to work at becoming holy and to detach yourselves from what displeases God in you” 1 . “After the example of your good Mother”. I think that looking at Louise to learn from her how to work at making ourselves holy according to God’s plan for us, and to detach ourselves from what displeases God, is characteristic of a spirituality: proposing a special path of holiness, a particular way of following Christ. The 350th anniversary of the deaths of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac was certainly a special opportunity to discover Louise or to get to know her better.
  • Vincentian II

    Vincentian II

    Topic 20: Vincentian Spirituality: Practical Charity, Part 2 Overview: St. Louise de Marillac became a companion to St. Vincent. They complemented each other with two very different personalities and skill-sets. Louise was the head person while Vincent was the heart person. What they shared in common was conversion of heart that came through the experience of the poor. Together, they founded of the Daughters of Charity, a radical break with previous forms of religious life for women. The Daughters became “Nuns in the World,” and they became the model for all subsequent forms of active religious life for women. Elizabeth Ann Seton brought the spirit and way of life of Vincent and Louise to America. She founded the Sisters of Charity, who expressed the virtue of charity through education, especially of the poor, ignorant, and immigrants. Louise de Marillac • Louise came into Vincent’s life after his conversion. • Louise’s early life was troubled. She never knew her mother. Her health was fragile. Her husband died in 1625 after a prolonged illness. The limitations of her childhood were always a source of anguish for her. This series of experiences plunged her into a dark night of the soul. • Vincent became a spiritual guide for her in dealing with her discouragement. Her friendship and collaboration with Vincent became a healing force in her life. Vincent was always there to support her through trials and tribulations. • Vincent helped her to become less reasoned and more spontaneous. • Her service to the poor and involvement with the Confraternities of Charity gradually cured her depressed spirit.
  • Pentecost Experience of Saint Louise De Marillac

    Pentecost Experience of Saint Louise De Marillac

    Pentecost Experience of Saint Louise de Marillac In the year 1623, on the Feast of Saint Monica, God gave me the grace to make a vow of widowhood should He call my husband to Himself. On the following Feast of the Ascension, I was very disturbed because of the doubt I had as to whether I should leave my husband, as I greatly wanted to do, in order to make good my first vow(note 1) and to have greater liberty to serve God and my neighbor. I also doubted my capacity to break the attachment I had for my director(2) which might prevent me from accepting another, during his long absence, as I feared I might be obliged to do. I also suffered greatly because of the doubt I experienced concerning the immortality of the soul. All these things caused me incredible anguish which lasted from Ascension until Pentecost. On the Feast of Pentecost(3) during holy Mass or while I was praying in the church(4), my mind was instantly freed of all doubt. I was advised that I should remain with my husband and that a time would come when I would be in a position to make vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and that I would be in a small community where others would do the same. I then understood that I would be in a place where I could help my neighbor but I did not understand how this would be possible since there was to be much coming and going. I was also assured that I should remain at peace concerning my director; that God would give me one(5) whom He seemed to show me.

    St. Vincent De Paul and the Homeless

    WELCOMING THE STRANGER ST. VINCENT DE PAUL AND THE HOMELESS Robert Maloney, CM An earlier version of this article was published in Vincentiana 61, #2 (April-June 2017) 270-92. “There was no room for them in the inn.”1 Those stark words dampen the joy of Luke’s infancy narrative, which we read aloud every Christmas. No room for a young carpenter and his pregnant wife? Was it because they asked for help with a Galilean accent that identified them as strangers?2 Was there no room for the long-awaited child at whose birth angels proclaimed “good news of great joy that will be for all people”?3 No, there was no room. Their own people turned Mary and Joseph away. Their newborn child’s first bed was a feeding trough for animals. Matthew, in his infancy narrative, recounts another episode in the story of Jesus’ birth, where once again joy gives way to sorrow.4 He describes the death-threatening circumstances that drove Joseph and Mary from their homeland with Jesus. Reflecting on this account in Matthew’s gospel, Pius XII once stated, “The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family." 5 Quoting those words, Pope Francis has referred to the plight of the homeless and refugees again and again and has proclaimed their right to the “3 L’s”: land, labor and lodging.6 Today, in one way or another, 1.2 billion people share in the lot of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Can the Vincentian Family have a significant impact on their lives? In this article, I propose to examine the theme in three steps: 1.

However, over the decades, the Shrine has also been home to some individuals who, after their deaths and a long process of investigation, have been give formal, ecclesial recognition as saints—or are on the official “path” to sainthood. Philadelphia-native St. Katherine Drexel (1858-1955) was born a wealthy heiress, yet she gave herself and her inheritance to God by founding the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which provided services to Native Americans and African Americans. St. Katherine also founded St. Catherine of Sienna Parish in Germantown and asked the Vincentians to serve there as pastors and parochial vicars. (The parish has since merged with St. Vincent de Paul Parish.) By the time of her death, St. Katherine’s ministries had more than 500 sisters teaching in 63 schools throughout the country and 50 missions for Native Americans in 16 different states. She was canonized on October 1, 2000, by Pope John Paul II. By all accounts, St. Katherine Drexel and students from her school were regular attendees of the Monday Perpetual Novena at the Shrine. She would sit in the third- pew nearest the main shrine to Our Lady. Venerable Archbishop Fulton J.

    St. Francis De Sales Feast Day: January 24Th Today We Celebrate St

    St. Francis de Sales Feast Day: January 24th Today we celebrate St. Francis de Sales, who was born on August 21, 1567 in the province of Savoy, France. He is the patron saint of writers, journalists, authors and deafness. He grew up, as the eldest of six brothers, in a wealthy family. His parents, François de Sales de Boisy and Françoise de Sionnaz, belonged to old Savoyard aristocratic families. His father intended for Francis to be a lawyer in order to take his place as a senator. He received his doctorate at law school but decided to join the priesthood and eventually became the bishop of Geneva. He was called, “Gentleman Saint,” because of his gentle spirit, and dedication to preaching through compassionate means. While working in the diocese of Geneva, he volunteered to evangelize Le Chablais, where the Genevans had imposed the Reformed Faith, by preaching constantly with zeal, kindness and holiness. He authored many publications (books, pamphlets, etc.), such as The Art of Loving God, Introduction to the Devout Life and Finding God’s Will for You. Many writings were addressed to lay people regarding the universal call of all Catholics to be saints. He was blessed in his ability to return Calvinists to the faith through his simple and clear explanation of Catholic doctrine. Furthermore, he used sign language to convert the deaf and helped found the Order of the Visitation, with Jane de Chantal. He had a stroke on December 27th during a journey, back to the diocese of Geneva. There he received the last sacraments and made his profession of faith, repeating constantly the words: "God's will be done! Jesus, my God and my all!" He died the next day, on December 28th, 1622; he was 55 years old.
