Rededicated at that time to the Mother of God, St. Mary Major is the largest church in the world honoring God through Mary. Standing atop one of Rome’s seven hills, the Esquiline, it has survived many restorations without losing its character as an early Roman basilica. Its interior retains three naves divided by colonnades in the style of Constantine’s era. Fifthcentury mosaics on its walls testify to its antiquity. St. Mary Major is one of the four Roman basilicas known as patriarchal cathedrals in memory of the first centers of the Church. St. John Lateran represents Rome, the See of Peter; St. Paul Outside the Walls, the See of Alexandria, allegedly the see presided over by Mark; St. Peter’s, the See of Constantinople; and St. Mary’s, the See of Antioch, where Mary is supposed to have spent most of her later life. One legend, unreported before the year 1000, gives another name to this feast: Our Lady of the Snows. According to that story, a wealthy Roman couple pledged their fortune to the Mother of God. In affirmation, she produced a miraculous summer snowfall and told them to build a church on the site. The legend was long celebrated by releasing a shower of white rose petals from the basilica’s dome every August 5. The Story of the Transfiguration of the Lord Celebrated August 6th All three Synoptic Gospels tell the story of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:18; Mark 9:29; Luke 9:2836). With remarkable agreement, all three place the event shortly after Peter’s confession of faith that Jesus is the Messiah and Jesus’ first prediction of his passion and death. Peter’s eagerness to erect tents or booths on the spot suggests it occurred during the weeklong Jewish Feast of Booths in the fall. According to Scripture scholars, in spite of the texts’ agreement it is difficult to reconstruct the disciples’ experience, because the Gospels draw heavily on Old Testament descriptions of the Sinai encounter with God, and prophetic visions of the Son of Man. Certainly Peter, James, and John had a glimpse of Jesus’ divinity strong enough to strike fear into their hearts. Such an experience defies description, so they drew on familiar religious language to describe it. And certainly Jesus warned them that his glory and his suffering were to be inextricably connectedNa theme John highlights throughout his Gospel. Tradition names Mount Tabor as the site of the revelation. A church first raised there in the fourth century was dedicated on August 6. A feast in honor of the Transfiguration was celebrated in the Eastern Church from about that time. Western observance began in some localities about the eighth century. On July 22, 1456, Crusaders defeated the Turks at Belgrade. News of the victory reached Rome on August 6, and Pope Callistus III placed the feast on the Roman calendar the following year. The one who has hope lives differently; the one who hopes has been granted the gift of a new life. -Pope Benedict XVI In Person Mass Schedule During COVID19 Coronavirus Pandemic Monday, August 3rd Saturday, August 8th 8 am @ Holy Family, Old Town 4 pm @ Holy Family, Old Town Tuesday, August 4th Sunday, August 9th 8 am @ Holy Family, Old Town 8 am @ Holy Family, Old Town Wednesday, August 5th 9:30 am @ St. Ann, Bradley 8 am @ Holy Family, Old Town 11 am @ Our Lady of Wisdom, Orono Friday, August 7th 8 am @ Holy Family, Old Town Registration is required for all Masses on Saturday and Sunday.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeNAugust 2, 2020 Monthly Devotions of the Church Year AugustNMonth of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Each month of the year is dedicated to a particular devotion within the Catholic faith; the dedication of each month is based on historical events or a particular aspect of the liturgical calendar, or a combination of the two. These monthly Catholic devotions do not line up exactly with the time frame of the liturgical calendar, since they are fixed to standard calendar months rather than the Church seasons. The month of August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart. Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. The month of August is traditionally dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The physical heart of Mary is venerated (and not adored as the Sacred Heart of Jesus is) because it is united to her person and https://resurrectionofthelord.org is the seat of her love (especially for her divine Son), virtue, and inner life. Such devotion is an incentive to a similar love and virtue. Contact the Parish Office This devotion has received new emphasis in this at 8274000 with any century from the visions given to Lucy Dos Santos, oldest of questions. the visionaries of Fatima, in her convent in Tuy, in Spain, in 1925 and 1926. In the visions Our Lady asked for the practice of the Five First Saturdays to help make amends for the Everyday Stewardship offenses committed against her heart by the blasphemies and ingratitude of men. The practice parallels the devotion of the The Power of a Simple Action Nine First Fridays in honor of the Sacred Heart. I remember seeing a story on a morning news On October 31, 1942, Pope Pius XII made a solemn program about a little girl who wanted to give an elderly Act of Consecration of the Church and the whole world to the man in a grocery store a hug. She had no way of Immaculate Heart.

  • SAINT LEO the GREAT 440-461 Pope, Doctor of the Church One Of
    SAINT LEO THE GREAT 440-461 Pope, Doctor of the Church th One of only two Popes to be called great, Leo was born in the late 4 century, probably of a Tuscan family. He was at Rome as a deacon under Pope Celestine I and Pope Sixtus III (422-440). As a deacon Leo was quite influential. He informed Celestine I about the Nestorian heresy in 430 and assisted Sixtus III and also Archbishop Cyril of Alexandria. In September of 440 Leo was elected Pope. Leo set about making the Roman church a model for all other churches. He wrote over 96 sermons, in which he stressed almsgiving, fasting and prayer, and also clarified Catholic doctrine, especially on the Incarnation. He was a strong advocate against heresy and convened a council of clergy and laymen to dispute the Manichaean beliefs and reinforce orthodoxy. He personally wrote letters to all of the Italian bishops warning of the false teachings. Leo was an advocate of orthodoxy rather than an original theologian. In 451 the Council of Calcedon was held in Asia Minor and at least 600 bishops attended. Leo sent 3 representatives. Leo’s Tome which he had written was read to the Council. Included in it were his concise definitions of the doctrine of the Incarnation and the two natures of Christ. His statement on the latter later become the Church’s official teaching. However, Leo refused to accept the Council’s decision to recognize the patriarch of Constantinople as primate over the Eastern churches. Leo had a lot of personality and courage.

  • Lawrence, the Saint Who Teaches the Fervour of Faith
    FOOD TRADES AND PATRONS / 1 Lawrence, the saint who teaches the fervour of faith CULTURE 27-03-2021 Liana Marabini St Lawrence the Martyr is the patron saint of cooks, but also of pasta makers, rotisserie workers, and pastry chefs. In iconography, St Lawrence is depicted as a young deacon dressed in the dalmatic, with the attribute of the gridiron, indicating the technique of his torture. (The dalmatic was a garment used in Roman times, which then remained in use as a liturgical vestment consisting of a long tunic with wide sleeves that reached down to the knees. It is the habit of deacons, who wear it during liturgical celebrations. Like the chasuble for presbyters and bishops, it is the outermost garment). In addition, according to hagiographic texts, he was given the palm of martyrdom and the purse of the treasure of the Roman Church, which he redistributed to the poor. Legend and historical truth mingle as details in Lawrence’s story and both serve to understand the Christian significance of the saint. He was born around 225 in the Roman Empire, in Hispania Tarraconensis (Aragon), in the city of Huesca (Osca in Latin), but his birthplace is uncertain; there are sources that state that he may have been born in Valencia, the birthplace of his parents. But Huesca is the birthplace more generally accepted by the sources. As a young man he studied theology in Zaragoza, one of the most prestigious centres of learning. One of the professors of this famous study centre was the future Pope Sixtus II.

  • Lawrence of Rome, Archdeacon August 10. Lawrence of Rome. In
    Lawrence of Rome, Archdeacon August 10. Lawrence of Rome. In Rome, during the first half of the third century, the government was sold out to Roman so-called deities, and Christians were not to be tolerated. Often they were given the chance to “convert” and prove it by offering sacrifices to the so-called gods. And those who refused were arrested, confined, tortured, and executed. Lawrence was one of the city’s seven deacons–men who cared for the buildings, their contents— who maintained the roofs, repaired the structures, and protected the art. Men who cared for the poor and ill among the congregation. Lawrence took his duty to the buildings and the people seriously. A lot of the Church’s leaders had already been executed. Today’s story is about what happened when the Romans came for Lawrence. On this date in 258, Lawrence outwitted the Emperor of Rome. Strategic generosity trumps going with the flow. About 200 years after the Apostle Paul wrote a famous letter to the believers at Rome, when Lawrence served as deacon, the beheaded bodies of some of his fellow church leaders lay in undignified graves, and the whole congregation suffered terrible poverty and hunger. One day in August, the Emperor sent a messenger to Lawrence and demanded he turn over all the treasures of the church. The Emperor intended to melt down crucifixes and sacred vessels like chalices and sell the gold. He would sell the paintings, too. And brutal Roman soldiers stood ready to aggressively enforce this order. So Lawrence immediately sought direction from Pope Sixtus II.

  • 2020-08-10 Saint Lawrence
    Saint Paul tells us, “He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever” (2 Cor 9:9). The Psalmist tells us, “Lavishly he gives to the poor, his generosity shall endure forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory” (112:9). Both of these readings were selected for the Memorial of Saint Lawrence, a deacon from the third century when the church was under persecution. The Emperor of the Roman Empire, Valerian, had little tolerance for Christians. If they did not make sacrifices to Roman gods, then the priests faced banishment. Finding great resistance among the clergy, he exerted more pressure and ordered the execution of Pope Sixtus II and 4 deacons on the 6th of August. Deacon Lawrence was willing to die on that day and begged the pope, “If I distribute the Precious Blood of our Lord at the altar, why may I not offer my own blood this day as a martyr?” Pope Sixtus II assured him his time of martyrdom would come soon enough. As a deacon in Rome working directly with Pope Sixtus II, Lawrence held a position of trust caring for the temporal goods of the Church … serving the poor by providing alms to help them. He was also an archdeacon often serving alongside the pope at important liturgies. Before his death, Pope Sixtus II ordered a distribution of all that was possible to assist the poor. Soon enough, Deacon Lawrence was taken into custody and asked to surrender the wealth of the church. The persecutors wanted gold and fine jewels.

  • “Apostolic Continuity of the Church and Apostolic Succession” Concluding Reflections to the Centro Pro Unione Symposium William Henn, O.F.M
    Louvain Studies 21 (1996) 183-199 “Apostolic Continuity of the Church and Apostolic Succession” Concluding Reflections to the Centro Pro Unione Symposium William Henn, O.F.M. Cap. My aim in the following reflections is not so much to add new data to what was presented in the five excellent papers prepared for the sym- posium held on November 23-24, 1995, at the Centro Pro Unione in Rome on the “Apostolic Continuity of the Church and Apostolic Succession.” Rather, my own reflections will be limited to the following points, which I have attempted to derive directly from the material pre- sented in those papers: I. the importance of the symposium; II. a prin- cipal area of convergence; and III. specific issues which could lead to yet greater convergence. I. Significance of the Theme of the Symposium The report published in 1990 by the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches about the responses of the various Christian communities to the Lima document on “Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry,” includes the following observation: For many on both sides of the issue the question of episcopal suc- cession remains the most difficult problem for further dialogue on ministry. Behind this issue lie significant ecclesiological questions. It can, therefore, only be tackled in the framework of a broader, more intensified discussion on ecclesiology …1 The Centro Pro Unione symposium has been a valuable contribution to this discussion, focusing on the ecclesiological theme of the apostolic 1.

  • Aeterna Dei Sapientia
    AETERNA DEI SAPIENTIA ENCYCLICAL OF POPE JOHN XXIII ON COMMEMORATING THE FIFTEENTH CENTENNIAL OF THE DEATH OF POPE ST. LEO I: THE SEE OF PETER AS THE CENTER OF CHRISTIAN UNITY NOVEMBER 11, 1961 To the Venerable Brethren the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and other Local Ordinaries in Peace and Communion with the Apostolic See: Commemorating the fifteenth centenary of the death of St. Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church. Venerable Brethren Health and Apostolic Benediction God's eternal wisdom "reacheth from end to end mightily and ordereth all things sweetly." (1) Its light shone with exceptional brilliance in the soul of Pope St. Leo I, for it would seem to have burned into it the very image of itself; so fearless the moral courage displayed by this Pope— "the greatest among the great," as Our later predecessor Pius XII rightly called him (2)-yet so gentle his fatherly concern. 2. The wisdom of his government, the wealth and scope of his teaching, the loftiness of his mind, his unfailing charity—these are the things which St. Leo the Great brought to enhance the fame of Peter's See, to which Almighty God in His providence has also raised Us. And now, on this fifteenth centenary of his death, We feel it incumbent upon Us to highlight his virtues and his immortal merits, confident that these can be of great spiritual value to us all, and increase the prestige and promote the spread of the Catholic Faith. Life-long Brilliance 3. Wherein, then, lies the true greatness of this Pope? In moral courage?—in that moral courage which he showed when, at the River Mincius in 452, with no other armor to protect him than his high-priestly majesty, he boldly confronted the barbarous king of the Huns, Attila, and persuaded him to retreat with his armies across the Danube? That was certainly an heroic act and one which accorded well with the Roman pontificate's mission of peace.
