What the timing of these two events means in the plan of Divine Providence may be unknown, but developments since then show that Fatima remains uppermost in the minds of many Catholics throughout the world.

  • Beata Maria Troncatti, Vergine
    Prot. N. 494/12/L BLESSED MARIA TRONCATTI, virgin She was born at Corteno Golgi (Brescia, Italy) on February 16, 1883. She was fascinated by the missionary ideal from adolescence and this sustained her in the development of her religious vocation. She made her religious profession in the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in 1908, and served in Italy for some years. In 1922 she left for Ecuador, from which, by her own free choice, she never returned. In the forest she evangelised through her care for the sick, and she was the «madrecita buena» («good little mother») for all, both the native Shuar and the colonists. She proclaimed and witnessed the love of the Father to all, along with the protection of Mary Help of Christians. She died at Sucúa on August 25, 1969 as a result of the crash of the small airplane on which she was travelling. From the Common of virgins, or of holy women: those who worked for the underprivileged, with psalms of the day from the psalter.

But everyone in the Church, striving to imitate the Divine Master, can and must bear this kind of witness; in many cases it is the only possible way of being a missionary.

OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

  • FMA–INS.Info 10 the Students of Class X After Which the Welcome Address and Message on the Theme by Sir James
    FMA–INS.info od gave his only Begotten Son on the day of Christmas. We celebrate this Gmystery of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus, the Son of God into our world. It is the central mystery of our faith. God so loved the world that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ (Jn. 3:16). Love does such things. He loved the humanity and gave himself to all of us. As Baby Jesus brought glad tidings of great joy from the Father, may He fill our hearts with love, joy, peace and happiness. FMA-INS. info wishes all its readers a Holy season of Christmas and may this Christmas help us to extend our hand to help someone, cheer someone and bring someone dear to Baby Jesus. The loss of sense of God among the people especially the youth, the rapid growth of the secularization and growing number of non believers, who still have not heard the Gospel Message provide the context for Pope Benedict XVI to declare the “Year of Faith” beginning on October 11, 2012 until November 24, 2013 as a mark of celebrating 50 years of the second Vatican Council’s Decree on the Church’s Mission Ad Gentes. The Church cannot simply ignore the constant changes that are taking place. It becomes the signs of the times in order to make God’s Word relevant in the contemporary world. Hence the Pope gave a clarion call to the whole universal Church for a renewed urgency on new evangelization. It basically calls for renewal of faith and regaining the faith of the apostles which is handed on by our Lord Jesus Christ to all of us.

    PROVINCE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY Auxilium, Nongthymmai – Shillong – 793014, Meghalaya CIR/ISB/4/2012 My dear Sisters, Loving greetings from Auxilium, Nongthymmai. I would also like to convey to you the greetings from our Sisters of other Indian Provinces and from those whom I met in Jerusalem. I have just returned from the Holy Land after my Spiritual Retreat. As the disciple of Emmaus I can’t but speak about the beautiful and unique experiences I had in the land of Jesus. Hence, I bring to you the wishes and blessings of Jesus. Deep within me I feel that He wants me to tell you that He loves us and wants us to love Him and to love one another as He loves us. All around the Holy Land: The Holy Sepulchre, Calvary, Bethlehem, Nazareth and everything speaks volumes of the tremendous love of God manifested to us in a tangible way in His beloved Son Jesus. The sight of thousands of Pilgrims who come from all over the world to the Holy Land to profess their faith and show their love for Christ is something very touching, inspiring and thought provoking. Rev. Fr. Mario Queriento from Venice – Italy, our Preacher helped us understand and reflect in-depth the History of Salvation realized and fulfilled in Christ Jesus through the Paschal Mystery. All of us (15 Asian Provincials) were indeed enriched and vivified. We SAW, HEARD, TOUCHED and CONTEMPLATED the marvels of God’s love as we moved from place to place. I prayed earnestly, fervently and lovingly for each one of you, for your parents, near and dear ones and the young people with whom we live and work and for whom we have consecrated our life to God.

  • Catholic Novelists in Defense of Their Faith, 1829-1866
    Catholic Novelists in Defense of Their Faith, 1829-1866 WILLARD THORP IN THE EARLY YEARS of the Republic there was a general distrust of fiction. Novels were held to be insipid, frivolous, and even dangerous. Indulgence in novel-reading was, at the least, a waste of time; at the worst, it could lead to immoral- ity. In his Sentimental Novel in America (l940) Herbert Ross Brown notes that these inherent evils were of concern to men prominent in public affairs. Thomas Jefferson wrote to Nathaniel Burwell: 'When this poison infects the mind, it de- stroys its tone and revolts it against wholesome reading. The result is a bloated imagination, sickly judgment, and dis- gust towards all the real businesses of life.' Noah Webster had strong feelings in the matter. Presidents Dwight of Yale and Witherspoon of Princeton viewed with alarm. Still, as literacy increased and urban life became more ur- bane, people wanted to read novels. Our early novelists soon discovered ways to relieve readers of feelings of guilt. One way was to announce in the title that the tale was designed to inculcate virtue. Surely one might safely venture inside a novel with such a title as Amelia; or. The Influence of Virtue (I8O2) or What is Gentility? a Moral Tale (1828). Another strategy was to declare that your novel was 'founded on fact.' For some reason that escapes me, believing that you were reading a factual, not a fictional account of kidnapping, seduction, or murder was reassuring. 25 26 American Antiquarian Society Writers also discovered that if their novels championed a cause, they could attract readers.
