JUBILEE OF FATIMA - 1917-2017 A FATIMA MIRACLE - HIROSHIMA At 2:45 a.m. on August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber departed from the island of Tinian in the Pacific Ocean to drop the first atomic bomb on Japan. At 8:15 a.m. the bomb exploded eight blocks away from the Jesuit church of Our Lady’s Assumption in Hiroshima. A group of Jesu- its were close to the epicenter of the attack on Hiroshima, but they survived the catastrophe, and the radiation that killed thousands in the following months had no effect on them. Experts were amazed that the priests had survived. The physicians who treated them after the disaster warned them that the radiation they received would pro- duce serious lacerations, as well as disease and an early death. How- ever, none of this happened. One of them, a Father Hubert Schiffer later recalled that horrible day. According to Father Schiffer, having already celebrated Mass, he was about to eat breakfast, when there was a blinding flash of light followed by an incredible explosion. He was taken up and violently thrown about in the air—like a leaf in a gust of wind, he said. He would next open his eyes on the ground, and, upon seeing the abso- lute devastation around him, was shocked to realize that, though wounded, he would survive. Perhaps even more miraculous than sur- viving the initial blast was the fact that none of the Jesuits suffered any after-effects from the radiation as was mentioned above. Father Schiffer himself, lived another thirty-three years and both wrote and spoke of his experiences at Hiroshima. The religious fervently believed that they were protected by God and the Blessed Virgin Mary due to their devotion to the message of Fatima. They explained, “We were living the message of Fatima and we prayed the Rosary every day.” “We would be mistaken to think that Fatima’s prophetic mission is complete.” --BENEDICT XVI Homily in Fatima on Occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of the Beatification of Francisco and Jacinta Marto, May 13, 2010 INDULGENCE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE A special invitation to join 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF FATIMA The Shrine and Parish Church of the Holy Innocents Pope Francis has granted a plenary indulgence opportuni- In Celebration of the 100th Anniversary ty for the 100th anniversary of the Fatima apparitions throughout the centennial year, from November 27, 2016 of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima until November 26, 2017.

  • The Shipwrecks and Philosophers: the Rhetoric of Aristocratic Conversion in the Late 4Th and Early 5Th Centuries1
    STUDIA PATRISTICA VOL. LXXVII Papers presented at the Seventeenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2015 Edited by MARKUS VINZENT Volume 3: Becoming Christian in the Late Antique West (3rd-6th Centuries) Edited by ARIANE BODIN, CAMILLE GERZAGUET and MATTHIEU PIGNOT PEETERS LEUVEN – PARIS – BRISTOL, CT 2017 The Shipwrecks and Philosophers: The Rhetoric of Aristocratic Conversion in the Late 4th and Early 5th Centuries1 Rafał TOCZKO, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland ABSTRACT In this study the literary aspects of the conversion to Christianity are discussed. The research has been based on the letters of Ambrose of Milan, Jerome of Stridon, Augus- tine of Hippo, and Paulinus of Nola. As we know, letters were a very effective medium of the early Christian public relations, for they were vastly copied, read aloud in the circles of noblemen and highly influential in creating the symbolic sphere. The form and style of communication e.g. the metaphors used in trumpeting the new noble Christian can give us insight not only into the art of rhetoric but also into the epistemological rami- fications, imaginary schemes that constituted thinking of the aristocracy in times when Christian life became an attractive choice. The goal of this study is to present the detailed picture and systematization of the various modes in which conversion was treated as a literary theme in the correspondence of the studied period. The article focuses on two different literary phenomena: 1. The rhetoric of persuading to conver- sion; 2. The literary descriptions of famous aristocratic conversions. It shows that in the analyzed letters2 two types of metaphors prevailed: those presenting conversion as avoidance of danger, specifically of shipwrecking or falling into slavery, and those painting the image of the converted as a true philosopher.

    Blog Brittonia Jesuit Stamps Francis Xavier SJWeb Japan Jesuits Jesuit Scientist Web Brittonia THE DAY OF DESTRUCTION An Eye-Witness Account of the A-Bomb over Hiroshima HUBERT CIESLIK, S.J. Translated from the Japanese by Francis Mathy, 1997 (An article from Francis Britto’s All about Francis Xavier) (1) NOBORICHO n June of 1945 I moved from the novitiate at Nagatsuka, on the outskirts of Hiroshima, where we Jesuits who were still in studies had been sent when the bombing of Tokyo I became very severe, to our church in the middle of the city. I had a boil on a finger of my right hand that would not heal and I had to go almost every day to the clinic of Dr. Fujii, which was near the church. At that time the church at Noboricho was an old Meiji-style Japanese building. In front of it stood five pine trees. It had once immediately faced the street, but when Fr. Weisenfels built the new priests’ residence, he had moved the church to its present location further into the compound. On the left side of the building was a rather spacious chapel with a matted floor; on the right, rooms for teaching catechism, where in 1941 Fr. La Salle began the kindergarten of Our Lady. (The partitions between the right and left sides and between the rooms on the right side could all be opened to make the church larger on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter.) Soon after Fr. Ogihara had come to replace Bishop Ross as head of the Okayama-Hiroshima Diocese, he had had a small tower built on the roof of the church.

  • In Fatima on the 8Th Day of the Novena
    The Message of Fatima 100th Anniversary – 2017 1914-Apparition At 7 years old I (Lucia) began tending our flock of sheep. One day as we (Lucia & some friends) saw for the 1st time a figure that had a human shape, whiter than snow and which the sun turned transparent. This apparition recurred twice again without manifesting itself and always suspended in the air, over the wood at the bottom of the “Cabezo.” When questioned by her mother, “As I did not know how to explain clearly and to free myself from questions, I replied that it looked like someone wrapped in a very white sheet.” 1st 1916 Apparition of the Angel After quickly praying the rosary Lucia dos Santos with cousins Francisco & Jacinta Marto started to play a game. “We were feeding our flocks in a property belonging to my parents called “Chousa Velha,” which lies at the bottom of a hill called “Cabezo,” on the east side. It was there that the Angel appeared to us for the 1st time in the form of a youth, as white as snow, shining more brightly then the sun and as transparent as crystal. We began to see this light coming towards us and thus we gradually distinguished the features. We were taken by surprise and being half bewildered we did not say a word. On reaching us he said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me!” And kneeling down, he bowed his forehead to the ground and made us repeat these words three times: My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I beg pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.” “Pray thus.

  • Nicetas of Remesiana and His Time
    STUDIA TEOLOGICZNE NOWE ŻYCIE W CHRYSTUSIE 33(2015) KS. JÓZEF ŁUPIŃSKI NICETAS OF REMESIANA AND HIS TIME Contents: 1. The administrative divisions in the Balkans, 2. Christianization of Dacia, 3. Works of Nicetas of Remesiana, 4. Nicetas and Arianism. The bishop of Remesiana - Nicetas was probably born in 335 AD, died in 414. He was a bishop in the years 366-414. Both in the Catholic Church and in the Orthodox Church he is considered to be a saint. He was “redi- scovered” in the last centuries. Some ancient texts, including the Order of Catechizing, considered Bishop of Remesiana to be one of the fathers of the Church, together with Hilary of Poitiers and Jerome. Theologians and phi- losophers recommend reading the works of Nicetas. Gennadius of Massilia mentions Nicetas in his catalog of writers as “Nicetas Romatianæ civitatis episcopus,” to whom he assigns several works on religious themes1. In Mar- tyrologium Romanum of 1585, Baronius mentions the bishop and the date of his memorial: Nicetas episc. In Dacia 7 Ianu2. Later, the works of Bishop of Remesiana were often attributed to other authors. Some identified him, among others, with Nicetas of Aquileia (454-485) or Nicetius of Trier, e.g. B. Rasponio in the work Sancti Nicete episcopi Aquilejensis3. In VetusMarty- rologium Romanum,published before the Second Vatican Council, the me- morial of Saint Nicetas fell on January 7.

  • On August 6, 1945 a B29 Bomber Dropped an Atom-Bomb On
    On August 6, 1945 a B29 bomber dropped an Atom-bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Around 80,000 people died almost instantly, and another 130,000 died later from their wounds and radiation sickness. But just eight blocks away from ground zero – about a kilometer – there was a Catholic church staffed by German Jesuit priests who had been allowed to stay in the country during the war because Germany was an ally of Imperial Japan. The bomb obliterated the church building and all the other buildings of the area – except for the rectory in which the eight Jesuits were staying. Fr. Hubert Schiffer told what happened. As he was sitting down to a meal, “Suddenly a terrific explosion filled the air with one bursting thunder-strike. An invisible force lifted me from the chair, hurled me through the air, shook me, battered me, whirled me round and round like a leaf in a great autumn wind.” Fr. Schiffer says the next thing he knew he opened his eyes and he was lying on the ground. When he looked out on the world there was nothing standing in any direction.
