Page Two THE PARISH AS ONE BODY “If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended… The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I do not need you,’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I do not need you.’ Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaKer are all the more necessary . Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. “ (1 Cor. 12:17-25) The Seven Essenal Elements of Parish Life constantly interrelate, each nurturing and supporng the other with the communal celebraon of Sunday Eucharist at the center.

MIKE PONTARELLI, O.S.M. ~ Let’s cancel our lesson on the sacraments this week. It’s a holiday weekend! Holy Orders is next. This week, please welcome Sister Mary Dietz of the School Sisters of Notre Dame (Province of Africa) the congregation’s initials are SSND. Sister is speaking to us on behalf of her congregation and its work. The School Sisters of Notre Dame, Africa, minister in five countries: Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, The Gambia and Sierra Leone. Their Charism calls them to education in its broadest sense, Which is Working toWard developing the full potential of each individual. They educate girls in rural areas Where there is little op- portunity for them, they began outreach programs for children Who are orphaned by AIDS, and have es- tablished clinics that treat all who come whether those who are ill can pay or not. Fifty-eight of the seven- ty-six sisters in the province are African born. Funds are needed for their religious formation and profes- sional training. Salaries and stipends for the sisters are very low and do not cover the cost of their living or health care. You may find out more about the good sisters and their mission on the website: WWw.ssnd.org. Following the 7:30 and 9:00 morning Masses please see the proposed enhancements for our church Which are displayed in the Parish Center. After the 9:00 Mass Ms. Jan Turcotte, our design consultant, will be present to discuss the choices and answer any questions. As mentioned last week, Jan is a Roman Catholic who Works with the Diocese of Orange but not for the Diocese of Orange. Her work can be seen at Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, St. Joseph in Placentia, St. EdWards in Dana Point, Holy Spirit in Fountain Valley, St. Boniface in Anaheim, and that is only part of the list. The scheme she is presenting comes after a lot of consideration and study; it has been approved by the Liturgical Commission of the Diocese of Orange. Certain liturgical standards had to be met – material that gives dignity to Worship is among them. Her liturgical design is certainly a ministry. I hope you approve of her choices. She is available to help you With your office or home! Regarding the roofing and seismic retrofit project, I update those Who attend Masses I celebrate. Regarding the sacristy roof - the workers encountered severe water damage to the structure under the sacristy roof, especially on its east and west “wings.” The correction for this damage was to replace A LOT of wood that was not budgeted. Other surprises were found and are corrected. All of it caused more days of work, delays, and expense. To date, these budget/cost over-runs are being carried by Bishop Vann. Should you be with our bishop, please thank him from St. Juliana’s Parish. (Recall: the cost for the project was $315,000. I was asked by the Diocese to discuss the project and cost with the Parish Finance Council. St. Juliana agreed to pay $115,000 – the remaining $200,000 is a gift from the Diocese of Orange.) The sacristy roof Will be finished very soon. The ceiling in the sacristy and cry room is nearly if not completely finished as you read this. It looks beautiful. Regarding the main roof of the church - the workers have exposed several sections of the top, long roof of the church no significant damage necessitating extensive structural repairs have been found. Please thank the workers, charitable words mean a lot to them. Another note regarding the delay: I made a decision to keep the church open during the project. Some pastors close their churches to funerals and services during the week when retrofit/roofing projects are in process; they contract with another church for funerals and etc.

  • Saint Juliana Falconieri
    1 June 19 Saint Juliana Falconieri Florentine by birth, Juliana was attracted by the holy lives of the first Friars of the Servite Order. She consecrated her life to God, devoting her time to prayer an works of penance and charity. She is properly considered among those women who, while continuing to live in their own homes, adopted a Servite way of life. She received the habit of the "mantellates". Juliana occupied a singular position among these women, so that the tradition of the Order has considered her the foundress of the Servite sisters. She is noted for her devotion to the Mother of the Lord and her love for the Eucharist. Her body is venerated in the Basilica of the SS. Annunziata in Florence. She was canonized by Pope Clement XII in 1737. From Liturgy OSM This city of ours (Florence) was the birthplace of Juliana, a brilliant example of virginity and a remarkable pride of the women. She was one who became famous for her great sanctity. She did not adorn herself with vain splendor nor was she attracted to passing things or the outward appearance of fame or beauty but rather by the reward of virtue, in which true beauty and the glory of victory reside. That she was a devoted follower of holy sermons is proven by the testimony of what she did. Among other things, she assumed the mourning clothes of the Blessed Mother and obtained thereby an immortal place for herself in heaven, wearing the habit of the Virgin into eternal life. In regard to the ever-to-be-feared divine judgment, consider an amazing example of which we read.

  • Daily Saints - 17 February
    Daily Saints - 17 February Feast of Seven Founders of the Servite Order Venerated in: Roman Catholic Church, Beatified: 1 December 1717 by Clement XI, Canonized: 15 January 1888 by Pope Leo XIII Named the fifth mendicant order by Pope Martin V, it was founded in 1233 by • Saint Alexis Falconieri • Saint Bartholomew degli Amidei • Saint Benedict dell'Antella • Saint Buonfiglio Monaldi • Saint Gherardino Sostegni • Saint Hugh dei Lippi-Uguccioni • Saint John Buonagiunta Monetti These seven men were born in Florence, Italy, and led lives as hermits on Monte Scenario. They had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Servite Order is one of the five original Catholic mendicant orders. Its objectives are the sanctification of its members, preaching the Gospel, and the propagation of devotion to the Mother of God, with special reference to her sorrows. The members of the Order use O.S.M. (Ordo Servorum Beatae Mariae Virginis) as their post-nominal letters. The male members are known as Servite Friars or Servants of Mary. The Order of Servants of Mary (The Servites) religious family includes friars (priests and brothers), contemplative nuns, a congregation of active religious sisters, and lay groups. On Friday, April 13, 1240, the hermits received a vision of Our Lady. She held in her hand a black habit, and a nearby angel bore a scroll reading "Servants of Mary." Mary told them: "You will found a new order, and you will be my witnesses throughout the world. This is your name: Servants of Mary. This is your rule: that of Saint Augustine.

  • Miracles, Science, and Testimony in Post-Tridentine Saint-Making
    Science in Context 20(3), 481–508 (2007). Copyright C Cambridge University Press ! doi:10.1017/S0269889707001391 Printed in the United Kingdom Miracles, Science, and Testimony in Post-Tridentine Saint-Making Fernando Vidal Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin Argument Seeing a prodigious cure happen and then testifying about it certainly differs from attending an air pump experiment in order to bear witness to it. Yet early-modern saint-making and the “new” or “experimental philosophy” shared juridical roots, and thereby an understanding of the role of testimony for the establishment of “matters of fact” and for the production of legitimate knowledge. The reforms carried out after the Council of Trent, especially during Urban VIII’s pontificate (1623–1644), of the juridical procedures for saint-making in the Catholic Church implied a new attitude towards the examination of proposed miracles. Most of these miracles were healings. While the appeal to medical expertise had long been common, and skepticism had often manifested itself regarding cures or extraordinary bodily phenomena, both were now given formal status. Miracle inquests henceforth leaned towards refuting miraculousness by means of natural explanations. The procedure was systematized in a treatise published in the 1730s by Prospero Lambertini (later pope Benedict XIV). The combination of Lambertini’s work with the canonization causes in which he acted as the “devil’s advocate” in charge of disputing arguments favorable to a sainthood candidate allows for a reconstruction of the interplay between the juridical and scientific economies of saint-making, and of the role of testimony in the production of trust and evidence.

  • 127-San Pietro in Vaticano.Pages
    Saint Peter’s Basilica Vatican City The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. Saint Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, holding 60,000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". In Catholic tradition, it is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century. Construction of the present basilica, over the old Constantinian basilica, began on April 18, 1506 and was completed on November 18, 1626. Saint Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age.

    1 Chapter VI THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY From the highest number of friars to the Napoleonic suppressions (1810) Characteristics of the century. The priors general of the eighteenth century. Devotion to Servite saints and blessed and the canonizations of St. Peregrine and St. Juliana. Studies in the Order up to the Methodus of Fra Francesco Raimondo Adami. Servants of Mary about 1750. Effects of the European political situation on the Order up to the Napoleonic suppressions. Distinguished Servites of the eighteenth century. Characteristics of the century The events, men and the life of the Order in the eighteenth century look like a kaleidoscope of contrasting and even contradictory features. In the first half of the century the Servants of Mary reached the highest number of friars in their entire history. But the suppressions at the end of the century and in the first decade of the nineteenth century brought about the closing of a large number of priories and the dispersal of the majority of their friars. The priors general of this century of the Enlightenment were men of renown. Some were later named bishops or cardinals. But nearly all of them were appointed by popes and not elected at general chapters. In fact, although seventeen general chapters should have been held in the eighteenth century, only twelve actually met. The first half of the eighteenth century was characterized, by a great vitality. There were various decrees and instructions for the improvement of studies in the Order. Devotion to Servite saints and blessed, including the Seven Founders, experienced a great growth and Peregrine Laziosi and Juliana Falconieri were canonized.

  • Pastor's Meanderings 16 – 17 June 2018 Eleventh Sunday
    PASTOR’S MEANDERINGS 16 – 17 JUNE 2018 ELEVENTH SUNDAY ORDINARY TIME (B) SUNDAY REFLECTION Lead kindly light amidst the encircling gloom, lead thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, lead thou me on! Keep Thou my fee; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I love to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on! (Blessed John Henry Newman) Eucharist announces that the norm for Christian living is the self-giving of Jesus. The bread and the wine are calculated to nourish and sustain us for our own growth and that of our sisters and brothers. Eucharist is always an outward movement whereby the strength we receive in this sacrament energizes us to reach out and enables others to grow. The image of the self-giving Jesus on Calvary has become the criterion for such growth. STEWARDSHIP: Like the sower in today’s Gospel, I scatter as seed my gifts of time, talent, and resources; and I trust that, by God’s grace and in God’s time, these small gifts of myself my grow and flourish and help to bring about the kingdom of God. Pope Paul VI “The law of Christian maturity demands that we lose ourselves in concern for others. One must not wait until all problems at home are solved before beginning to address oneself to those of the neighbor. In fact, an awareness of the immensity of the tasks and problems of progress which face humanity as a whole can stir individuals to work more seriously for progress in their own society.” READINGS FOR NATIVITY OF ST.
