Dec. 3 St Francis Xavier 154 - v - Foreword Remembering our elders who have gone before us, admiring their virtues, looking up to them as exemplars of our life-mission and praying through their intercession has been a rich tradition of Catholicism for centuries. Perhaps no other Christian denomination can boast of a long list of saints, the numerous novenas in their honour and the many feasts in their remembrance as in the Catholic Church. Praying with Jesuit Saints and Blessed, a community prayer book for the Jesuits compiled by Fr Michael R. Kolb, has to be situated in the context of this rich tradition of remembering the saints who have left behind models for imitation, inspiration and invigoration. Psychologists tell us that the act of remembering can be powerful. If remembering can negatively influence us by bringing to life unhealed wounds, aching events and painful memories of the past still lurking in the hidden caves of our hearts, thus sapping our energies, it can also positively influence us by enkindling the fire within to ‘go forth and set the world on fire’. The effort made in this prayer book is to remember the events and experiences in the lives of Jesuit saints and martyrs that will inspire enthusiasm, ignite fire, trigger action and deepen our commitment to the Lord and His people. Anamnesis is a wholesome liturgical act to re- enact and re-live what we remember. The prayer sessions proposed in this book include words of the Saints and words about the Saints. Some prayer sessions contain brief bio sketches of the Saints and others call to mind their heroic actions. The excerpts from the homilies of popes during the beatification and canonization provide stimulus for deep thinking and profound reflection. It is hoped that the act of remembering and re-living the memories of our forebears will help us strengthen our Jesuit identity and inviteus to deepen our commitment to the mission of the Society and inspires us to be frontier men. - vi - This book is published during the Golden Jubilee year of the Kohima Jesuit Region. The author, Fr Michael R. Kolb, is a member of the United Midwest Jesuit Province in the United States. He has been a good friend of the Kohima Jesuits for almost two decades. He has visited Northeast India at least half a dozen times and, more importantly, lived in the Northeast for almost four years while pursuing his doctoral studies in Don Bosco University, Guwahati, Assam. This book is his gift to the Kohima Jesuits in appreciation of their missionary life and works in Northeast India. On behalf of the Kohima Jesuits, I place on record our gratitude to Fr Kolb. May this prayer book help us feel the pull of the Divine. May our praying together awaken the divine spark within us and connect us to Him and His people. May the examples of our elder brothers help us remain alert to the challenges of our mission and respond to them courageously and generously, with the audacity of the improbable. Fr Melvil Pereira SJ Regional Superior Kohima Region of the Jesuits - vii - Introduction This book is a collection of prayers for Jesuit feasts and memorials. Too often in our houses, amidst the pressing demands of our work, celebrating our heritage by marking the heroes of the Society is reduced to a mention at morning mass, if they are remembered at all. By assembling this community prayer book we hope to provide another possibility. Most communities spend fifteen minutes or so before supper in community prayers. This book provides a resource to use at times like those. This is a very bare bones approach. It is patterned on the community prayer resources of the Taizé communities, specifically their inspiring Prayer for Each Day. The form for the prayer on each feast parallels their formula. The printed material serves as a skeleton, eager to be enfleshed with songs, periods of silence, and additional readings as each community or community prayer leader thinks helpful. Each day has six parts. A brief word on each. Opening Prayer: This is a short prayer to give people gathered for the service a moment to recollect and draw their focus to the celebration. Psalm: Usually following an opening song and an opening prayer, the psalm is intended to enter into the mood of the memorial, and serves as the theme of the prayer. How communities engage in the psalm might differ from place to place. Some houses will begin with the ‘Oh Lord, come to our assistance...’ from the Office and end with the traditional ‘Glory be...’ Some might use the offered response in reply to an individual reading the psalm; others can ignore the response and simply read together the verses together or alternately. Reading: The readings remind us of at least one aspect of the saint’s or blessed’s holiness and service. They are deliberately short. They are also taken from works whose copyrights have expired or are - viii - from the Holy See. Alternately a passage from scripture could be employed, and one is suggested for each day. A reading from the day’s Proper is possible as well. Variety is good, lest the community trudge through the same thing year after year. Two other resources that can be used here: excerpts from Tylenda’s Jesuit Saints and Martyrs (Loyola University Press) which also includes Venerables and Servants of God of the Society; Lewis’s Profiles in Holiness (Gujarat Sahitya Prakash) that includes brief accounts for each saint. A brief period of silence for reflection is possible after. Petitions: There are four or five petitions to start this part of the service. They come from two sources. First, some come from things related to the saint of the day: what people he served, what his main work was, or what he might be patron of. The second comes from the 2001 edition of Sacramentary for Jesuit Feasts that, in addition to texts for masses, includes a list of topics ‘Suitable for Prayers of the Faithful’ in liturgies. These are helpful in remembering things we should pray for, but often forget. The list is offered here as an appendix as well. ‘Individual petitions’ are not an afterthought. It offers one way for community members to share their lives, work, and concerns with their brothers, and so should absolutely be included. The Lord’s Prayer. Concluding Prayer. This is usually taken from the Mass of the day. It can be said by the prayer leader or together. Following this prayer, musically inclined communities might enjoy another song to finish. If the prayer precedes the community meal, grace can be added as well. After the six-part community prayers provided here, we have included, where possible, supplemental material: novena prayers, appropriate litanies, even a prayer of the saint or to the saint that is part of the Church’s treasury, or related matter that might inspire some reflections.

  • December Saints
    Saint of the Day December December 1: St. Edmund Campion, Martyr St. Edmund Campion was born in 1540 in Protestant London. An exceptionally bright child, he was given a good education. He went to Oxford in 1557, during the last year of Catholic Queen Mary’s reign. In 1566, he was given the honor of leading a debate in front of Queen Elizabeth I, who was impressed by him. He became a deacon in Church of England, but soon regretted it. He left England to enter a Catholic seminary in France and became a Jesuit in 1573. He knew then that he desired to return to England and secretly minister to Catholics there, despite the dangers. In 1580, St. Edmund went back to England disguised as a jewel merchant. He secretly preached and said Masses for one year before he was arrested, imprisoned and martyred in 1581. St. Edmund is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. December 2: St. Bibiana, Virgin and Martyr St. Bibiana was an early Christian martyr, probably living during the late 4th century in Rome. Christianity had been made legal by Constantine, but persecutions continued. Bibiana’s parents were martyred, leaving Bibiana and her sister Demetria alone in poverty. They fasted and prayed, refusing to give up their faith. Demetria died of hunger and Bibiana, after undergoing harsh questioning, died a few days later. Their home was turned into a church, and is now the site of the Basilica of Santa Bibiana. December 3: St. Francis Xavier St. Francis Xavier was born in Spain in 1506.

And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

    CCHA Report, 2 (1934-1935), 12-21 THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS BY THE REV. F. H. BRADLEY, P H. D. In the year 1534 Henry VIII proclaimed his Act of Supremacy, declaring himself sole head of the Church in England, and thereby laid the cornerstone of the schism that was to develop into a heresy and separate England from the Church of Christ. The same year John Calvin began his career as a heretic and started the movement that worked such havoc in France, in England, and in Scotland. Seventeen years earlier, Luther had hurled defiance at the Pope and begun the breaking up of Christian unity. While all of these agents were working to destroy Christ's work and to dismember His kingdom, Divine Providence was preparing a band of workers to undo the evil that had been done, to strengthen the fortresses of the Old World, and to establish outposts in pagan lands where vast numbers of new members of the great Christian family should replace those who had fallen away or who had been separated from the Church by the disrupting forces of the Reformation. Ignatius Loyola and his little band of religious pronounced their first vows on the Feast of the Assumption of our Blessed Lady, August 15th, 1534. This group of zealous men of God did not have any intention, at the outset, of being special counter-reformers, but it was God's will that they should be one of the most powerful factors in undoing the work of Luther and his followers on the continent of Europe, and in swelling the ranks of Christ's army with fresh recruits from the four corners of the earth.

Madrid - Diciembre 201 INTRODUCTION Tears and compunction and the First Week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola Within the context of the classic, month-long Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, the exercises of the First Week constitute a certain sine qua non of fully and deeply experiencing the whole of the Spiritual Exercises. The exercises of the First Week, through the Principal and Foundation, the examinations of conscience (both the particular and general), the invitation to the sacrament of confession and frequent communion, lay down the basic ground work for the conversion experience. They instill in the exercitant1 the important disposition and attitude for continual conversion – a disposition that incisively opens the exercitant up to all the subsequent exercises in an unparalleled way. As such, it is crucial that the exercitant be carefully and completely exposed to all of the dynamics of the meditations of the exercises found within the First Week. Clearly, the central part of the structure of the exercises contained within the First Week hinges upon the meditations on sin and all of its implications and repercussions: from the vile reality of sin and personal sin to the real possibility of damnation and the great gift of salvation wrought by Christ.
