Since then it has been updated frequently to suit changing times and conditions. When referring to the rule, the following must always be borne in mind as it encompasses the whole spirit of the rule. The object of the Manual is to record decisions arrived at as a result of experience and thus to forestall future discussions and acquaint all interested parties with our past history, our present position and our future hopes. But what it is chiefly aimed at is to set out for the benefit of members the spirit, aims and trends of the Society which they have joined. The spirit of the Society is present in every page of the Manual; it is the principle of its life, its most intimate and most precious element. If we forget it or depart from it, the work degenerates and comes to an end. If we follow it we realise the aims which the founders assigned to the Society. Mission Statement "As committed members of the Society of St Vincent de Paul, we seek to identify and combat all forms of poverty, by promoting social

  • To the Very Heart of the Gospel the Man of the Eight Beatitudes
    YOUTH COORDINATION To the very heart of the Gospel The man of the eight Beatitudes IFCA – International Forum of Catholic Action Foundation Catholic Action school of sanctity Pio XI Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart,for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Matthew 5, 3-11 Rome, July 2018 In the light of the Master Gaudete et Exultate (Chapter three) 63. There can be any number of theories about what constitutes holiness, with various explanations and distinctions. Such reflection may be useful, but nothing is more enlightening than turning to Jesus’ words and seeing his way of teaching the truth. Jesus explained with great simplicity what it means to be holy when he gave us the Beatitudes (cf. Mt 5:3-12; Lk 6:20-23). The Beatitudes are like a Christian’s identity card. So if anyone asks: “What must one do to be a good Christian?”, the answer is clear.

  • Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati Information
    6/28/2019 EWTN's Saints and other Holy People Home Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati MAN OF THE BEATITUDES Feast: July 4 Information: Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati is a saint for the modern world, and especially for Feast Day: July 4 the young people of our time. Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy, his time on earth was short-only 24 years-but he filled it passionately with holy living. Pier Giorgio was Born: April 6, 1901, Turin, a model of virtue, a "man of the beatitudes," as Pope John Paul II called him at Italy the saint's beatification ceremony in Rome on May 20, 1990. He was described by Died: July 4, 1925, Turin, friends as "an explosion of joy." As Pier Giorgio's sister, Luciana, says of her Italy brother in her biography of him, "He represented the finest in Christian youth: Beatified: May 20, 1990 by pure, happy, enthusiastic about everything that is good and beautiful." Pope John Paul II To our modern world which is often burdened by cynicism and angst, Pier Giorgio's life offers a brilliant contrast, a life rich in meaning, purpose, and peace derived from faith in God. From the earliest age, and despite two unreligious parents who misunderstood and disapproved of his piety and intense interest in Catholicism, Pier Giorgio placed Christ first in all that he did. These parental misunderstandings, which were very painful to him, persisted until the day of his sudden death of polio. However, he bore this treatment patiently, silently, and with great love. Pier Giorgio prayed daily, offering, among other prayers, a daily rosary on his knees by his bedside.

    St. Clare Fraternity Newsletter Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania January,2020 Our Council: Minister: Arlene Stewart; Vice Minister: Tom Brown; Formation Director: Katie Roberts; Secretary: Maryanne Sheofsky; Treasurer: Anne Pennsy; Councilor: Victoria Snyder; Spiritual Assistant: Brother Mike Tripka, TOR Minister’s Message Today as I sat and thought about the new year ahead, and all that it holds in store, I thought about Thomas Merton’s prayer from “Thoughts in Solitude.” “My LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore, will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.” May the Lord bless you all. A Message from our Formation Director We've been reading and reflecting on "Live Like Francis" by Jovian Weigel, OFM and Leonard Foley, OFM for some time. At our last meeting, we discussed Forgiveness and Being Christ to Others.

    Bl. Pier Giorgio Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati is a saint for the modern world, and especially for the young people of our time. Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy, his time on earth was short- only 24 years-but he filled it passionately with holy living.

Pier Giorgio prayed daily, offering, among other prayers, a daily rosary on his knees by his bedside. Often his agnostic father would find him asleep in this position. "He gave his whole self, both in prayer and in action, in service to Christ," Luciana Frassati writes. After Pier Giorgio began to attend Jesuit school as a boy, he received a rare permission in those days to take communion daily.

  • Rome, 18 October 2009 Ref: PG107/2009
    TO THE WHOLE ORDER “Blessed are Those Who Bring Good News.” (Isaiah: 7-10) Rome, 18 October 2009 ref: PG107/2009 My dear brothers and sisters in hospitality, Preamble On this occasion I would like to share with you some thoughts on two themes that are both relevant and topical at this time, at least in the Church and the Order. The first is that of missions (Ad Gentes – to the people) from the perspective of the Order or Family of St. John of God. The second topic is connected to the first, in terms of fidelity to his hospitaller calling, by Br. Eustace Kugler under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. Mission Ad Gentes As you know every year, in October, the Church celebrates and promotes missionary work. Those of us who make up the Family of St John of God see this as an opportunity to reflect on this matter, and above all on the great missionary drive that has characterised our Order, particularly since the Second Vatican Council, as the fruit of the Charism of Hospitality that we have received from our Divine Lord. The specific imperative which we have been given by the vow of Hospitality is not to provide care merely for the sick and needy people around us, but also to reach out to look for those in need, even in distant lands, and at all times according to the spirit of St John of God. For Hospitality, borders do not exist. Following the death of our Founder, the Brothers went out to Latin America, Africa, Asia as well as across Europe.

Over the past several months I have met with parish leaders in each of our nine vicariates to receive input on the renewal of our diocesan pasto- ral plan. I am grateful to all who shared their insights so that we can be good stewards of the resources of time, talent, and treasure that the Lord has entrusted to us for his mission. I am particularly grateful to James Walsh, Director of Pastoral Planning, for his great work on the develop- ment of this pastoral plan. Those who are familiar with our last pastoral plan “The Roadmap for Our Mission” will notice similarities between this current plan and the “Roadmap.” While the priorities may be similar, I want this pastoral plan to help us all direct our attention outward, and not simply to focus on the internal structures and programs of our diocese and parishes. This is in keeping with the mandate of Jesus himself: “Go, therefore, and make dis- ciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have com- manded you.
