  • Liberation Unto Freedom
    LIBERATION UNTO FREEDOM REFLECTION CONCERNING THE MANDATE OF THE CHURCH - Giancarlo Collet ("Christian faith remains related to Jesus, because in him, the intent and purpose of freedom is made explicit as being unconditional love". ..Giancarlo Collet's article, translated from the original German by Mrs. Antonia Fonseca, examines the mandate of the Church to mediate God's unconditional acceptance of man. She can only do this if she is herself a community of liberated individuals. The copious references have been confined to actual quotations due to limitations of space.Ed1 Introduction Theological reflection concerning freedom, if it is not to miss its point, must start with an analysis of real freedom, i.e. it must be placed in a context of social and political and - last but not least - ecclesiastical freedom or liberation. Even if in this article this analysis itself is not made but rather presupposed, at least its implications will be mentioned. The social conditions where the Church must accomplish her mission in the world can be defined as follows : CONTEXT OF FREEDOM (1) World unity: From the beginning of modern times, the world is on the way to unity. The growing interdependences in the social, political and econaaic spheres as well as in the field of communication technology have brought about an increase in collateral interdependence. Structures and institut- ions have increased their power to a certain extent while, at the same time, the immediate dependence of human beings slides more and more into anonymity. (2) European and American influence: The process of world-unification we are now witnessing occurs under the pressure of circumstances, because the influence-Of-the pattern of European and American ways of life and interests on the non-western world is a threat to other peoples' chances of developing freely and creatively, if they still desire to do so and are not already fascinated with or blinded by western modes of living.

He was an extremely devout Catholic and made the decision to dedicate his life to Christ at the age of 5. • Reported to have the ability to see guardian angels and speak to Jesus and Mary. • His family was poor and from a young age worked as a shepherd tending a small flock of his family’s sheep. • He entered into the novitiate of the Capuchin friars at the age of 15 and took on the name of “Pio” in honor of Pope Pius I. • At the age of 17 he became ill and was only able to digest milk and cheese. As a result of his poor health he was sent home where he continued to study for the priesthood. • In 1910 he was ordained a priest but was permitted to remain home because of his health. • On September 20, 1916 while hearing confessions he began to feel pain in his feet and hands. Upon investigating this pain he discovered that he had received the stigmata. o Stigmata – describes the spontaneous appearance of the wounds experienced by our crucified Lord.

  • Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz
    Feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz Introduction What a joy to be with you this afternoon at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen to celebrate the feast day of two Filipino saints: San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Pedro Calunsgod (kuh LUN sud). Warmest thanks to Dr. Ruben Ballesteros and Father Pete Literal for kindly inviting me to lead and take part in this celebration and in thanking you I extend my gratitude to Archdiocesan Filipino Council for your all that you do to foster the New Evangelization among the growing number of Filipino families here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. At the same time, I would like to welcome Couples for Christ and to thank you for all that you do to promote the vocation of marriage and family. And let us remember all those who lost their lives in Typhoon Haiyan as well as those who responded so heroically to that tragedy. We salute their faith, their courage, and their heroic love! Universal Call to Holiness The II Vatican Council clearly taught that every one of us is called to holiness. Indeed, something way deep down in us keeps telling us that we are made for more than this world can offer – whether it’s pleasure, riches, or power.
