John 15:12 !13  This past week I attended a conference at Seton Hall for Do you love Jesus? Do you consider Him your friend? pastors here in the Archdiocese of Newark. The focus of Jesus says that if we love Him we would be willing to offer this weeklong colloquium was “The Theology of whatever we have to Him, not because we want praise and Management.” One of the problems that often happens is glory, but simply because we love Him.

Upon the death of a young ! man who had been paying court to her, she entered a convent, but after a few months had to return home to look after her widowed mother. Rose used to gather the women and girls of the neighborhood to say the ! rosary ! together in the evenings, and when she found how ignorant many of them were of their religion, she began to instruct them. She was directed by Father Ignatius Martinelli, a Jesuit, who convinced her that her vocation was as a teacher “in the world” rather than as a contemplative in a convent; whereupon in 1685, with two helpers, Rose opened a preschool for girls in Viterbo. Her reputation spread, and in 1692, she was invited by !Cardinal !Barbarigo to advise and help in the training of teachers and organizing of ! schools ! in his ! diocese ! of Montefiascone. Here she was the mentor and friend of Lucy Filippini, who became foundress of an institute of maestre pie (pius teachers) and was canonized in 1930. Rose organized a number of ! schools ! in various places, sometimes in the face of opposition that resorted to force in unbelievable fashion  the teachers were shot at with bows and their houses set on fire. Her patience and trust overcame all obstacles, and in 1713 she made a! foundation ! in ! Rome ! that received the praise of Pope Clement XI himself. It was in ! Rome ! that she died, on May 7, 1728. ! BǂǚǐǏǏdž, NJ ! THE WEEK AT A GLANCE ! Sun., May 6 ! 12:00pm ! Carnival Clean up ! Mon., May 7 ! 4:00pm ! Legion de Maria (St. Joseph Room) ! 7:00pm !
