17-Stigmatists.Pdf Stigmatists Stigmata is the plural of the Greek (στίγµα, ατος, τό) word stigma, meaning a mark or brand made by a pointed instrument, a dot. An individual bearing the stigmata is referred to as a stigmatic or a stigmatist. Stigmata can be either visible or invisible (both painful) and can either depict the five Holy Wounds (hands or wrists, feet, and side) of Jesus or be partial. The stigmata may be wounds endured during the Passion such as a Crown of Thorns (1 thorn or a crown) or whip lashings or scourges on the back. Some report that the blood seeping from the wounds of the individual yields two different blood types. Reportedly, there have been over 500 stigmatics who have displayed wounds similar to those inflicted upon Jesus. The first generally recognized case of these wounds was in the year 1224 by Saint Francis of Assisi at La Verna, Italy. O.F.S. Reference: some individuals were Secular Franciscans before entering and/or founding an Institute, Congregation, Society, Community or a Religious Order. The names listed are allegedly Stigmatics. Many of the names had different designations and/or spellings. Every effort was made to corroborate the information with at least two different websites and/or books. If you find that some of the information is inaccurate, please notify Deacon Dave and Thérèse, O.F.S. so that changes can be made. Thank you!

  • Sveshnikov-Mental Imagery in Prayer
    Mental Imagery in Eastern Orthodox Private Devotion by Father Sergei Sveshnikov Just as there can be a properly trained voice, there can be a properly trained soul.[1] —Fr. Alexander Yelchaninov This presentation is based on the research that I undertook for a book titled Imagine That… : Mental Imagery in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Private Devotion, published in paperback in February of 2009 with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco. The work is an analytical comparison of Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox attitudes toward mental imagery. In this presentation, I wish to focus specifically on the Orthodox tradition of prayer. * * * Eastern Orthodoxy displays a great degree of uniformity in following a path of stillness of thought and silence of mind to achieve the prayer of heart in private devotion. Saint John Climacus writes in The Ladder (28:19) that “the beginning of prayer consists in chasing away invading thoughts…” (285) The mind is to be freed from all thoughts and images and focused on the words of prayer. Further in the chapter on prayer (28), St. John instructs not to accept any sensual images during prayer, lest the mind falls into insanity (42; 289); and not to gaze upon even necessary and spiritual things (59; 292). Unlike some forms of Roman Catholic spirituality, the Orthodox Tradition does not encourage the use of mental imagery. In fact, it almost appears to forbid sensory imagination during prayer altogether. In the words of one of the contemporary Orthodox elders, Abbot Nikon (Vorobyev) (1894-1963), “that, which sternly, decisively, with threats and imploring is forbidden by the Eastern Fathers—Western ascetics strive to acquire through all efforts and means” (424).

  • A Name Identifies You in a Unique Way, Not Just Your Physical Self, but Who You Are As Person
    CHOOSING A CONFIRMATION NAME. A name identifies you in a unique way, not just your physical self, but who you are as person. One of the traditional practices in the Church at the time of Confirmation is choosing a name that will remind you of this sacrament. Your prayerful reflection will help you determine that name. You might want to recommit yourself to your baptismal name since it expresses the relationship that exist between these two sacraments, especially after you reflect on its meaning and discover some of the people who shared your name in Christian history. You might want to choose the name of a saint who represents the type of Cristian you wish to be. It is important to learn as much as you can about your patron saint. After all, you are asking this saint to be your friend and advocate for the rest of your life. Whether you decide to stay with your baptismal name or pick a new name, take the time to research and explore the root meaning of the name, for as Scripture says: “Yahweh calls each of us by name”. One of the most beautiful parts of your journey towards confirmation is choosing a patron saint, one of the great saints of our Church whose life in Christ is one that inspires you and calls you to be an ardent and radiant catholic. The saint are not just people who lived long ago! Moreover, they are alive in heaven now, totally present in our lives through God’s grace and their prayers.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Paul VI Hall Wednesday, 15 December 2010 Saint Veronica Giuliani Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I would like to present a mystic who did not live in the Middle Ages. She is St Veronica Giuliani, a Poor Clare Capuchin nun. The reason is that 27 December will be the 350th anniversary of her birth. Città di Castello, the place where she lived the longest and where she died, as well as Mercatello — her birthplace — and the Diocese of Urbino are celebrating this event with joy. Indeed, Veronica was born on 27 December 1660 in Mercatello, in the Metauro Valley to Francesco Giuliani and Benedetta Mancini. She was the last of seven sisters, three of whom were to embrace the monastic life. She was given the name “Orsola” [Ursula]. She was seven years old when her mother died and her father moved to Piacenza as customs superintendent of the Duchy of Parma. It was in this city that Ursula felt a growing desire to dedicate her life to Christ. The call to her became ever more pressing so that, when she was 17, she entered the strict cloister of the monastery of Capuchin Poor Clares in Città di Castello. She was to remain here for the rest of her life. Here she received the name of “Veronica”, which means “true image” and she was in fact to become a true image of the Crucified Christ. 2 A year later she made her solemn religious profession and the process of configuration to Christ began for her, through much penance, great suffering, and several mystic experiences linked to the Passion of Jesus: being crowned with thorns, the mystical espousal, the wound in her heart and the stigmata.

  • A Treasury of Atonement

St. Gertrude 2. Louis of Blois 3. St. Therese of Lisieux 4. Peter d'Airelle, Jacinta Marto and Rose Ferron 5. Sister Josefa Menendez 6. St. Faustina Kowalska 7. Anselmo del Alamo 8. Padre Pio 9. Sister Maria Concepcion Zuniga 10. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Introduction HRIST Our Lord said: “Therefore every scribe who is instructed unto Cthe kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.” This is a short collec- tion of quotations from the vast treasure house of the church, about suffering, reparation, atonement, and the cross. No matter how much you have read, you can always find something new. Christ said that he would make all things new, (Apoc. 21:5) that he would establish a new covenant, and put new wine into new bottles. We have now arrived at the newest, the most recent, the last, and perhaps the best, period of human history. “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” 1. St. Gertrude ERTRUDE, a holy virgin most dear to God, was once divinely taught Gthat one who is considering in his heart the image of the Crucified, ought to think he hears Jesus Christ Himself saying to him, with a gentle voice, “Behold, thou seest how for love of thee I hung upon the cross, naked, despised, My whole Body wounded, and every limb stretched.

  • The Theological Themes in Newman's Dream of Gerontius
    Theological themes in Newman’s Dream of Gerontius 1 Newman’s Theology in the Dream of Gerontius, Juan R. Vélez G., New Blackfriars, Vol. 82, No. 967 (2001), 387-398. Newman’s theology in the “Dream of Gerontius” (This version had some minor changes for publication). On the second centennial of Venerable John Henry Newman’s birth (1801-1890) we wish to draw attention to his celebrated Dream of Gerontius. Newman once humbly remarked to a friend that “It was written by accident – and it was published by accident.”1, yet his personal history proves otherwise; it was the fruit of many years of agonizing study and prayer leading him to the Roman Catholic Church. It is rightly considered by some a major contribution to Roman Catholic spirituality and doctrine which continues to inspire the theology and piety of men and women. The Dream of Gerontius expresses in poetical form many truths of Catholic dogma concerning creation, redemption and eschatology. This, Newman’s longest poem, composed in 1865, almost twenty years after his entrance into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, underscores his Catholic beliefs in the mysterious complementarity between God’s justice and mercy whereby at the particular judgment, some souls require a final preparation for heaven. In his Plain and Parochial Sermons Newman had rebutted the 19th century denial of possible eternal damnation. In the Dream of Gerontius, he emphasized God’s merciful dispensation that broadness the narrow fundamentalist perspective of heaven or hell. In this important work, eschatology is intertwinned with Christology and Christian anthropology. Furthermore, the seeds of an ecclesiology of communion are present as a dominant theme.
