And they said, 'Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' But you,' he- said 'who do you say I am?' Then Simon Peter spoke up, 'You are the Christ,' he said 'the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church.

Thank you. THE APOSTLE PAUL Pope Benedict declared that today, Sunday 29th June, begins a special year dedicated to the Apostle St. Paul to mark the 2000th anniversary of his birth. St. Paul was a gift to the Church. His conversion from zealous persecutor to dedicated evangelist is the most famous conversation of history. The idea of a 'Road to Damasclis Conversion' is part of modem-day speech, used to denote a radical change of direction in any walk oflife. St. Paul's conversion was just that - a radical change of direction, from being opposed to Christ to being for Christ. St. Paul wrote a series ofletters to the Christians of his day (letters that becanle an important part of the New Testament). They are filled with encouragement's, corrections, explanations, etc. This year of St. Paul offers us an opportunity to return to his writings, for even though they were written almost 2000 years ago, they still speak to our daily lives. They help us to encounter Jesus just as St. Paul did on the road to Damascus. 'Lord Jesus, may I grasp and understand new and afresh that you are truly Lord, Saviour and Master and are the Way, the Truth and the Life. ' Ss PETER AND PAUL. APOSTLES - 29th JUNE Peter and Paul: the pillars of the Church of Rome. Peter stood out as the one who took the initiative while the twelve were with Jesus. Paul is possibly the most powerful personality in the history of the Church. Those who are loyal and staunch members of anything are referred to as 'pillars'. Scholars suggest that this refers back to a time when the figures and images of saints were carved into the main colunms supporting the church building. Today we celebrau; the feast of two of the greatest 'pillars' of the Church: in one sense Peter and Paul were much more than pillars, they are more like foundation stones - Jesus is the cornerstone but they are foundation stones. The Church was built on their witness, W?derstanding and preaching. They both paid the ultimate price for their commitment to Christ - sli~ding their blood and laying down their lives. We can have no better role models, no better example of what it means to be a Christian Leader. 'St. Peter and St. Paul, pray for liS' CHURCHES TOGETHER: VISIT TO SHREWSBURY HOUSE - yesterday a group of the West Everton Conununity left St. Peter's Church for a day out! We trust that everyone had a fabulous time. CONGRATULATIONS TO ELLEN LOUDON who is to be ordained deacon at the Anglican Cathedral this morning. Ellen will be curate to St. Peter's & St. John Chrysostom's. AND FINALLY: (You 'Il have to think about this one!) Patient: Doctor, doctor, I can't pronounce my 'F's' and '1's'! Doctor: Well, you can't say fairer than that. TODAY'S MASS We celebrate the feast of the princes of the apostles, from whom we derive our Christian faith. The Lord stood by them and gave them power, so that through them the whole message might be proclaimed for all the world to hear. FIRST READING: Acts 12:1 -11 Now I know the Lord really did save me from Herod RESPONSORIAL PSALM 33 PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE PSALM TOGETHER. From all my terrors the Lord set me free. I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise always on my lips; in the Lord my soul shall make its boast. SEE THAT The humble shall hear and be glad. u.J t;; i:'S Glorify the Lord with me. o Together let us praise rus name. I sought the Lord and he answered me; from all my terrors he set me free. Look towards rum and be radiant; let your faces not be abashed. -Trus poor man called; the Lord heard rum and rescued rum from all rus distress. The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere rum, to rescue them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. He is happy who seeks refuge in him. From all my terrors the Lord set me free. SECOND READING: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18. All there is to come now is the crown ofrighteousness reserved for me. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: ~ Alleluia, alleluia! You are Peter and on this rock I will build by Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. Alleluia! .

To its publication I earnestly looked forward, hoping to be able to translate it into English. In the long delay I contributed what I could to make the illustrious mission- ary known.

  • Ne Auferatur!
    WOODSTOCK LETTERS INDEX Volumes 1-80 1872-1951 Compiled by GEORGE ZORN, S.J. JESUIT LIBRARY MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY NE AUFERATUR! Woodstock College Press Woodstock, Maryland 1960 Marquette JESUIT ARCHIVES University r.; » //.- ,, FOREWORD Woodstock Letters during their first two decades published each year a table of contents. Thereafter, an annual index ap­ peared. These indexes, while generally more than a table of contents, are not an adequate key to the mine of information contained in the Letters. In addition to the annual indexes, the Letters have pub­ lished five other indexes, including the present one. The first of these, called Index A, published in 1888, covers the first ten volumes (1872-1881). It is divided into three parts: Historical Papers, Biographical and General. Biographical is further subdivided into Sketches, Notices, Obituaries and Mentioned. The second of the indexes, called Index B, is not dated but according to a note prefixed to Index A was published in 1888 or shortly afterwards. It covers volumes 11 to 15 and has the same divisions as Index A. These two indexes are still of some value for the first fifteen volumes and references to those volumes in the present index can be further controlled by consulting them. The third of the indexes, published in 1898, covers the first twenty-five volumes of the Letters and is divided into three parts: A General List of Articles with Authors, An Index of Authors, Sketches and Obituary Notices. In a foreword, the editor of the time, Father Samuel H. Frisbee, notes that the List of Articles with Authors was prepared for "the con­ venience of our readers, and to preserve, while they could yet be obtained, the names of the authors of the different articles which have appeared in the Letters for the past twenty-five years." This index is, consequently, still of value.

A prayer to celebrate the Ignatian Year God of all people, You were there when the cannonball shattered the leg of St. Ignatius, shattered his dreams, and shattered what he assumed his life would be. Even in a moment of pain and uncertainty, doubt and darkness, you spoke to Ignatius a word of peace and light. You showed him the path to you and the person he might become. We may not be soldiers, standing in the path of a literal cannonball. And yet, we’ve been hit all the same. Cannonballs shatter our own hopes and dreams and expectations. Like Ignatius, may we hear the compassionate voice of your Son in the aftermath of these cannonball blasts. May we seek the face of Christ even when our dreams are shattered. May we turn and follow Jesus with the courage it takes to change and grow. As we journey through this Ignatian Year, may we be shown the path to you, God of all people, and live out our vocation, becoming the person you have invited us to be.

  • With the Greatest Love
    With the Greatest Love A Collection of Novices’ Selected Reflections Sacred Heart Novitiate, Philippines January 2021 With the Greatest Love Lord Jesus, What weaknesses did You see in us that made you decide to call us, in spite of everything, to collaborate in Your mission? We give You thanks for having called us, and we beg You not to forget Your promise to be with us to the end of time. Frequently we are invaded by the feeling of having worked all night in vain, forgetting, perhaps, that You are with us. We ask that You make yourself present in our lives and in our work, today, tomorrow, and in the future yet to come. Fill with Your love these lives of ours, which we put at Your service. Take from our hearts the egoism of thinking about what is ‘ours,’ what is ‘mine,’ always excluding, lacking compassion and joy. Enlighten our minds and our hearts, and do not forget to make us smile when things do not go as we wished. At the end of the day, of each one of our days, make us feel more united with You and better able to perceive and discover around us greater joy and greater hope. We ask all this from our reality. We are weak and sinful men, but we are Your friends. Amen. ______________________________________ Fr. Adolfo Nicolas, SJ Superior General of the Society of Jesus, 2008-2016 Dedication On this day we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord, we present this collection of novices’ selected reflections as PRESENT to our beloved families and dearest friends, to our brothers in the Society of Jesus, and to all who have been God’s presents to us in our ongoing interior journey.
