  • Blessed Felix of Nicosia (Blessed Felice Da Nicosia) Feast Day – June 1 Felix Was Born at Nicosia, Sicily, of Poor Parents
    Blessed Felix of Nicosia (Blessed Felice da Nicosia) Feast Day – June 1 Felix was born at Nicosia, Sicily, of poor parents. His father was a mender of shoes. But they were good, honest people, who reared their children to be good Christians and useful persons. Their lessons were particularly well received by Felix. His heart was like soft wax, in which the admonitions of his parents were deeply engraved. In a very special way he loathed all lying and indecent speech. Out of veneration for the Passion of Christ, he fasted, even as a boy, on the Fridays of March. In honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, he prayed the rosary every Saturday. When the boy was old enough, his father sent him as an apprentice to an able shoemaker. There Felix distinguished himself by great modesty, docility, industry, and patience. When his companions joked about his seriousness and piety, he had a friendly answer for them in such a way that his good master took great pleasure in him. As he grew older, Blessed Felix of Nicosia realized how many dangers there were in the world of virtue. So when his parents died, he applied at the Capuchin convent at the age of twenty for admission. He was refused. But Felix persevered. He prayed, waited, and at opportune times renewed his plea again and again. Finally, after eighty years, he obtained the long- desired admission. On October 19, 1743, he was invested at Mistretta. Now Blessed Felix of Nicosia strove to be a true servant of God. His mind was continually set on God alone.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

Philippus Philippus, OFMCap Philippus, Philippus Fr. y partes de Virginia Occidental y Pensilvania Volumen 16, Número 4 Empecemos de nuevo, porque hasta ahora no hemos hecho nada. Mayo 2013 ¡Habemus Papam! Papa Francis en el poder, los pobres, y toda la Creación Sé que parece un poco pronto para tales respaldo entusiasta de un pontífice que sólo ha estado en el cargo de Obispo de Roma por menos-que-una-semana, y tengo mis propias preocupaciones y cautela, pero tengo que decir que no es algo inmediato y recon- ocible afable sobre el Papa Francisco. Su presencia ha indicado tanto, sin duda, para disgusto de los guardias de seguridad en- cargados de su cuidado, ya que ha eludido los límites y las pro- tecciones necesarias que tradicionalmente separa normalmente - aunque sólo sea por la causa aparente de la seguridad - el papa del resto de la Pueblo de Dios. Este tipo no parece preocuparse por su propia seguridad, sino que reconoce que, como los jesuitas dicen, “la mayor gloria de Dios” requiere relación, abrazo, amor, apoyo y cuidado. Él aparece como un pastor y buena en eso. La homilía del Santo Padre Francisco de la “Misa Inaugural del ministerio petrino”, se basó en las lecturas de la Escritura en la y de buena gana, pero también vemos la esencia de la solemnidad de San José. El hilo conductor de conexión a través de vocación cristiana, que es Cristo! Protejamos a Cristo en sus reflexiones accesibles y con los pies en la tierra fue la de San nuestras vidas, para que podamos proteger a los demás, José as protector.

  • A Franciscan Liturgical Calendar
    1 A Franciscan Liturgical Calendar In its more than 800 years of existence, the Franciscan Family, comprised of the three Orders founded by St. Francis of Assisi himself during his lifetime, has contributed in a major way to the sanctification of the Church and many of its individual members. The Saints and Blesseds of the three Franciscan Orders blanket the liturgical year with the various Feasts and Memorials celebrated in their honor. As with everything else “Franciscan,” the effort to construct a comprehensive liturgical calendar was complex and fraught with the possibility of contradictory designations of names and assigned dates. Many names have different spellings; different calendars propose different dates for the same individual. Every effort was made to corroborate the information with at least two or three different websites and/or print references. It also must be acknowledged that, while every branch of the Franciscan Family observes the more significant Franciscan persons and events, each branch also has its favorites that only it tends to observe. If you find that some of the information is incorrect, please notify Deacon Dave and Thérèse, O.F.S. so that corrections can be made. Thank you! This Franciscan Liturgical Calendar makes use of the following abbreviations and designations: d. = death date; (date) = when an event happened; the designation “First Order friar” makes no distinction between priests and lay brothers nor among the O.F.M. Observant, O.F.M. Capuchin or O.F.M. Conventual branches of the First Order; the designation “Poor Clare nun” includes the Poor Ladies of San Damiano prior to Clare’s death; unless specified as a member of the diocesan clergy, all “Secular Franciscans” are understood to be members of the laity.
