    SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 25, 2021 Msgr. Kaz ......................................... Only God is Great "Jesus, who could see they were about to come and take Him by force and make Him king, escaped back to the hills by himself" ~John 6:15 All through the Gospel, Jesus is trying to help us understand that there is power and pleasure in money and material things that satisfy human appetites. But there is only one context in which we can be in touch with the ultimate Source of power and pleasure, and that is in the presence of God. This is the one ultimately needful thing, the "Pearl of Great Price." But, to appropriate it, to experience the power of God's presence most fully, we must be willing to acknowledge that we are dependent upon Him. Because Jesus "emptied Himself," as St. Paul puts it, because He trusted totally in God's will even though it meant the Cross, because of His willingness not to be a king, in this sense, God has exalted Him. This becomes a model for us. Jesus makes this clear in the very first Beatitude: "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is SATURDAY, JULY 24 the kingdom of heaven." Not those who want to be king, not 4:00 p.m. For the People of the Parish the Danny Dravots of the world, but the "poor in spirit -- those SUNDAY, JULY 25 who identify their life's meaning and their mission with God's ~17th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ Will.

  • The Cultus of St. Joseph in Our Catholic Tradition
    The Cultus of St. Joseph in Our Catholic Tradition The Lord, in order to honor his name, decided to make St. Joseph the leader and the patron saint of the militant church. Before the day of judgment all the peoples will know and revere the name of the Lord, and the magnificent gifts that God has given St. Joseph, gifts he has wanted to keep almost hidden for a long period of time. It is then that the name of Joseph will abound with all the goods of the earth. Churches will be built in his honor. Peoples will celebrate his feasts and will make solemn promises to him. For the Lord will open the ears of their intelligence and great men will scrutinize the inner gifts of God hidden in St. Joseph and will discover a precious treasure such as we do not find its like in any of the fathers of the Old Testament. This will happen especially through the enlightenments given by the holy angels. St. Joseph will give graces from heaven on high to people who will invoke him, and he himself, constantly surrounded with the majesty of his glory, will borrow nothing from any mortal. The name of St. Joseph will be honorably placed on the calendar of the saints and he will no longer be the last; for a main feast will be set to venerate him. The Vicar of Christ on earth, prompted by the Holy Spirit, will rule that the feast of the foster-father of Christ and of the husband of the Queen of the world, be celebrated throughout the Church.

  • Analysis of the Religious Practices of Hindus at Saint Joseph's Oratory
    UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL Analysis of the Religious Practices of Hindus at Saint Joseph’s Oratory Transmission of Christian Faith after the Second Vatican Council Par John Jomon Kalladanthiyil Faculté des arts et des sciences Institut d’études religieuses Thèse présentée en vue de l’obtention du grade de Ph. D. en Théologie pratique Mars 2017 © Jomon Kalladanthiyil, 2017 Résumé Dès le début du christianisme, la transmission de la foi chrétienne constitue la mission essentielle de l’Église. Dans un contexte pluri-religieux et multiculturel, le concile Vatican II a reconnu l’importance d’ouvrir la porte de l’Église à tous. Basile Moreau (1799 – 1873), le fondateur de la congrégation de Sainte-Croix, insistait sur le fait que les membres de sa communauté soient des éducateurs à la foi chrétienne et il a envoyé des missionnaires au Québec dès la fondation de sa communauté (1837). Pour ces derniers, parmi d’autres engagements pastoraux, l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal, fondé par Alfred Bessette, le frère André (1845 – 1937), est devenu l’endroit privilégié pour la transmission de la foi chrétienne, même après la Révolution tranquille des années 1960. L’Oratoire Saint-Joseph accueille des milliers d’immigrants du monde entier chaque année et parmi eux beaucoup d’hindous. Pour beaucoup d’entre eux, l’Oratoire devient un second foyer où ils passent du temps en prière et trouvent la paix. Certains d’entre eux ont l’expérience de la guérison et des miracles. Le partage de l’espace sacré avec les hindous est un phénomène nouveau à l’Oratoire.

Save to your computer and extract by clicking on the filename. Foreword In our pluralistic age we recognize many traditions have special gifts to make to a rich, well-balanced spirituality for our time. My own life has shown me the spiritual tradition stemming from St. Dominic, like that from his contemporary St. Francis, provides ever fresh insights. No tradition, however, can be understood merely by looking at its origins. We must see it unfold historically in those who have been formed by that tradition in many times and situations and have furthered its development. To know its essential strength, we need to see it tested, undergoing deformations yet recovering and growing. Therefore, I have tried to survey its eight centuries to give some sense of its chronology and its individual personalities, and of the inclusive Dominican Family. I have aimed only to provide a sketch to encourage readers to use the bibliography to explore further, but with regret I have omitted all documentation except to indicate the source of quotations. Translated 1 quotations are mine. I thank Sister Susan Noffke, O.P., Fr. Thomas Donlan, O.P., for encouraging this project and my Provincial, Fr.

  • An Introduction to the Theology of St. Joseph 33
    An Introduction t9 th.e Theology of St. Joseph 31 Thus, in the face of all this, we stress the value of priestly celibacy and (certainly fully acquainted with human limitations and human failures and with what is of value in the marriage and family of the Lutheran pastors) we can see how the marriage and family of the deacon are of value for us. Also we can hope that he would draw a noticeable number of recruits to the Diaconate. We trust that the marriage and family of the deacon would stand as an upright example before the eyes of society and especially of the youth of society. Under such conditions, the rebirth of the Diaconate would most assuredly be recognized with joyous acceptance by our Lutheran brothers. Whenever there is an approac~ of the separated Christian to the domains of discipline or liturgy or any other possible area, a building stone for the Ecumenical ·Movement is laid. The rebirth of the Diaconate can be a giant step on the way to-mutual understanding. DR. JOSEF HORNEF (translated by Joseph Albert Dashner, O.P.) AN INTRODUCTION TO THE TH.EOLOGY OF ST. JOSEPH '-:ERY FAMILY HAS ITS JosEPH. Somewhere, if not in the present, at least ip days gone by there was a man named Joseph. And every E· land and tongue has its word for Joseph: Jose, Giuseppe, Josef, Jozef. The name "Joseph" has been and remains a most popular name for all people and all ages. Its appeal is universal. Two thousand years ago in Palestine, a small and insignificant land, there lived a Joseph who has become more widely known and more deeply loved than the very name which he bore.
