Annual Fundraiser Grateful! Raffle Tickets Enclosed SUNDAY, October 16, 2016 Prayer Hotline by Rev Read newsletter online [email protected] 2016 Issue II www.ciszek.org Getting to know Walter Ciszek, S.J. as Servant of God Mark A. Lewis, S.J. My arrival at the task of working on the cause of Servant of God Walter Ciszek started with a casual conversation. While passing through Rome on another research project, I stopped in to greet my good friend and companion Fr. Marc Lindeijer, the Jesuits’ Vice Postulator. In the course of catching up on each other’s projects and news, Fr. Lindeijer casually mentioned that he was hoping to interest an American Jesuit in working on the cause of Fr. Ciszek. Since my current project had hit a bit of a wall, and since I knew the story of Fr. Ciszek from With God in Russia, I offered to lend a hand. My sabbatical came to an end before all of the details Annual Celebration were worked out, so it has become a project that must now fit between my new assignment as Director of Catholic Studies at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. So why am I working on Fr. Ciszek? What brought me to this assignment? How do I see the process developing? As with Fr. Lindeijer, my academic preparation is in history. Unfortunately my specialization is neither in twentieth century U.S. or Soviet history. But many of the research challenges are the same, and fortunately so much of the rigorous research has already been finished. While Fr. Lendeijer has much more experience with the office and process of the postulation of saints, I am sure that I will be able to call on him and the Rev. Mark A. Lewis, S.J., Postulator General, Fr. Anton Witwer, S.J., for help on the Director of Thomas More Center canonical details. While in Rome, Fr. Lindeijer introduced me for the Study of Catholic Thought and Culture. continued on page 3 With God In America by Father Walter Ciszek Loyola Press will be publishing With God on America by Father Walter Ciszek on October 1, 2016.

International travel is always interesting and this trip was no different. I shared a shuttle from the airport to the center of the City of Rome with an Iranian doctor. He spoke English and it had been his first trip to Rome. He must have sensed that I knew where I was going (not sure I had that sense!) so we began a conversation after disembarking our aircraft and making our way through customs and, after he bought me a cappuccino, we shared the cost of the taxi into the center of town. I'm sure the State Department of the United States and the Foreign Ministry of Iran would not have approved of our conversation. It ranged from politics, the relations between our respective countries, religion, and the ancient cultures from which we both sprang- Rome and Persia.

Following twenty-four years in the Soviet Union, most of it spent in the prisons of Moscow and labor camps of Siberia administered by the Soviet secret police in its various manifestations, from nkvd (People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs, Stalin’s secret police) to kgb (Committee for State Security, the secret police’s name from 1954 onwards), Father Walter Ciszek, a Polish-American Je- suit priest, returned to the United States of America on October 2, 1963. For much of his time in the ussr, his order and his family and friends assumed he, like so many others swept up by Stalin’s henchmen, had died during his captivity. Ciszek was not able contact them until 1955, two years after the So- viet dictator’s death, and would not obtain his release for another eight more years, as the Kennedy administration arranged the transfer of both Ciszek and the American graduate student Marvin Makinen for two Soviet agents, United Nations functionary Ivan Egorov and his wife Alexandra, who has been arrest- ed by the fbi in 1961 for espionage. Upon his return Ciszek would take up a position at the John xxiii Center at Fordham University, his home for much of the rest of his life. Almost immediately upon his arrival Ciszek became an American celebrity. During the height of the Cold War he was a rare person who had first-hand knowledge not only of daily life in the ussr, but one of its most closely guarded secrets, the vast network of labor camps known as the Gulag.

  • St.-Ignatius-Of-Loyola-Homily.Pdf
    1 Thursday of the 7th Week of Easter 500th Anniversary of the Conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola at the Battle of Pamplona and the Beginning of the Ignatian Year Homily of Bishop John Barres St. Agnes Cathedral May 20, 2021 The 17th Chapter of the Gospel of John focuses on the Glory of God. Jesus prays to his Heavenly Father: “I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.” The great saints of the Catholic Church dedicated their lives completely to the Glory of God and their lives are powerful commentaries on John 17. One such saint is the Founder of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits. His name is St. Ignatius of Loyola and he lived from 1491-1556.1 His life and Jesuit charism are summarized in the phrase Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam – For the Greater Glory of God. This simple phrase has focused, grounded and motivated the mission of holy Jesuits and Jesuit universities, institutions and apostolates for centuries. Today – May 20th, 2021 – we celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola and we also begin an Ignatian Year as we simultaneously celebrate the Year of St. Joseph. The Ignatian Year starts today May 20th , 2021 and lasts till the Memorial of St. Ignatius on July 31st, 2022. An ambitious Spanish soldier, Ignatius was wounded by a cannon ball at the Battle of Pamplona on May 20th , 1521. 1 See Bishop Barres’ Pastoral Letter introducing the Ignatian Year ‘Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam – For the Greater Glory of God’.
