You may have seen St. Maria’s body in October at the Basilica of Immaculate Conception in Jacksonville. The relic is on a national tour to inspire Catholics to find ways to incorporate mercy into their lives in the coming year. St. Maria’s example of forgiving her brutal attacker poses a question to us: Could you forgive an attacker? Hopefully none of us will fall victim to such a brutal crime, but we endure little attacks every day in the form of rudeness, thoughtlessness and angry words and actions from loved ones, coworkers and strangers. Sometimes we are the attacker. So the next time you feel under attack or want to go on the attack, think of the example of St.

But in his Messa- ge for the World Day of Peace (1 January, 2016), Pope Francis recalls some events that should inspire us not to lose hope in our human ability, with the help of God’s grace, to overcome evil. They encourage us to com- bat resignation and indifference. These events include: * Fifty years ago, Vatican II published Gaudium et Spes. The Pastoral Constitution most eloquently expresses the Church’s sense of solidarity with the world: the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted, are the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the follo- wers of Christ as well (§1). The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace celebrated the anniversary here in Ro- me (see article in bulletin). * The United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in September, aims at ensuring a more dignified level of living for everyone, especially the poor, by the year 2030.

  • MONTLY MESSAGE N
    MONTLY MESSAGE n. 5 — 2017 Turin - Valdocco 24 May MARY URGES US TO BEAR WITNESS TO HER PRESENCE Our devotion to Mary Help of Christians, which we emphasize particularly in this month with the novena and the feast in her honour, commits us to witness her maternal presence to all those who are far from God or who are experiencing difficult trials such as war, illness or injustice. Through prayer and example, we are called to approach the hearts of those who are far from God and his grace. Mary Help of Christians is with us and intercedes for each of us, so that with love and courage we can witness the faith, and encourage people to look to her and consecrate themselves to her Immaculate Heart. She sends us in order that, like small lights in the world guided by her maternal love, we may shine clearly with full splendour. Prayer will help us, because prayer saves us and saves the world. She exhorts us not to be afraid to tell the truth, and not to be afraid to change ourselves and the world by spreading love, making her Son known and loved, so that love may reign in our lives: a love that is living, a love that attracts and a love that gives life. It is up to us to acknowledge it, live it and spread it. The aspect that characterizes our association is the popular dimension of the Salesian charism, which finds a typical expression in popular piety. The term "popular piety" designates those diverse cultic expressions of a private or community nature which, in the context of the Christian faith, are inspired predominantly not by the Sacred Liturgy but by forms deriving from a particular nation or people or from their culture.

  • Mercy and Beyond: Pope Francis' Marian
    Mercy and Beyond: Pope Francis’ Marian “Program of Life” J O S E P H I N E L OMBARDI , P H .D. Associate Professor of Pastoral and Systematic Theology, S t . A u g u s tine’s Seminary Jesus said, “Follow me.”1 A commentary on the account of the conversion of St. Matthew, the tax collector, inspired the motto of Pope Francis: Miserando atque eligendo. These words are taken from a passage from the Venerable Bede, the histo- rian: Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since he sees by having mercy and by choosing, he says to him, “follow me,” suggesting mercy is rooted in clarity or spiritual sight. Recalling the original Latin of Bede’s commentary, Francis says that he likes to trans- late miserando with a gerund that doesn’t exist: “mercifying.” So mercifying and choosing describes the vision of Jesus, who gives the gift of mercy and chooses, and takes unto himself.2 Pope Francis recalls a similar moment in his own life when he experienced the tenderness of God’s mercy following a confession he made at the age of 17. Being touched by the mercy of God, he answered the call to religious life and made this motto a “program of life.”3 This is the same program encouraged by his predeces- sors, a program that calls for the rediscovery of mercy: God’s perfect, compassion- ate, generous, kind and forgiving love, whether one feels worthy of it or not. This rediscovery was launched by the private revelations of St. Faustina Kowlaska; made accessible by Pope Saint John Paul II, who at the beginning of his papacy said, “I consider this message of Divine Mercy my special task”4; reconfirmed by Pope Benedict XVI; and celebrated by Pope Francis.

Responding to questions on May 14 at a meeting with 1,700 priests and lay leaders of the Diocese of Rome gathered at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the pope said he realized the negative social implications of technology a few days earlier when Pope Francis he was greeting teens participating in a program of the international network of “Scholas Occurrentes.” “They were all there waiting for me,” he said. “When I arrived, they made noise, as young people do. I went to greet them and only a few gave their hand. The majority were with their cellphones [saying], ‘Photo, photo, photo. Selfie!’ “I saw that this is their reality, that is the real world, not human contact. And this is serious. They are ‘virtualized’ youths,” the pope said. “The world of virtual communication is a good thing, but when it becomes alienating, it makes you forget to shake hands.” Archbishop Angelo De Donatis, vicar of the Diocese of Rome, had asked Pope Francis about his impressions of the meeting in March in preparation for the upcoming meeting of the Synod of Bishops on “young people, faith and Catechumen Hannah Bach, vocational discernment,” and how the 18, is guided into the Church should respond to the needs of baptismal font at St.

  • Pope Francis Presents Bull of Indiction of Jubilee of Mercy
    Pope Francis presents Bull of Indiction of Jubilee of Mercy (Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Saturday afternoon proceeded with the presentation of the official Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, set to begin December 8. The bull is the fundamental document for the Holy Year that outlines the overall spirit and intentions for the Jubilee, as well as the spiritual fruits that are hoped for. It was read by Fr Leonardo Sapienza, Regent of the Prefecture of the Pontifical Household, in a ceremony by the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica. Pope Francis then moved into the basilica to preside Vespers for Divine Mercy Sunday. The 28-page bull, titled “Misericordiae Vultus” or “The Face of Mercy” opens with the declaration, “Jesus is the face of the Father’s mercy. These words might well sum up the mystery of the Christian faith.” Listen to the report by Laura Ieraci: In the document, Pope Francis says the Holy Year is “dedicated to living out in our daily lives the mercy” which God “constantly extends to all of us.” He explains the year will begin on December 8 to commemorate both the feast of the Immaculate Conception and the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council, which called the Church to proclaim the Gospel to the world in new ways, bringing God’s mercy to everyone. - 1 - After the Holy Door of St Peter’s is open on December 8, the Holy Doors of the other papal basilicas will be opened in subsequent days. As well, as a sign of communion of the whole Church, the pope has requested that every diocese in the world open a similar “Door of Mercy” for the local celebrations of the Jubilee.

  • Pastoral Letter on the Reading of Amoris Laetitia In
    PASTORAL LETTER ON THE READING OF AMORIS LAETITIA IN LIGHT OF CHURCH TEACHING “A TRUE AND LIVING ICON” OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF PORTLAND, OREGON MOST REVEREND ALEXANDER K. SAMPLE TO THE PRIESTS, DEACONS, RELIGIOUS AND FAITHFUL OF THE ARCHDIOCESE “The couple that loves and begets life is a true, living icon … capable of revealing God the Creator and Savior.”1 With these words our Holy Father, Pope Francis, reminds us that married love is “a symbol of God’s inner life,” for the “triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection.”2 Of its very nature, marriage exists for the communion of life and love between spouses, ordered to the procreation and care of children, in an exclusive and permanent bond between one man and one woman. In this natural bond, existing even between unbaptized spouses, we are given “an image for understanding and describing the mystery of God himself.…”3 Christ our Lord elevated the natural bond of marriage to the dignity of a sacrament whereby the union of man and woman signifies the “union of Christ and the Church.”4 God, who is eternal and unchanging, gives marriage as a natural icon of himself; Christ elevates marriage into a sacrament signifying the permanent, indissoluble covenant with his people. Because the family is essential to the well-being of the world, the Church, and the spread of the Gospel, the world’s bishops gathered in the Synods of 2014 and 2015 to identify the real situation of marriages and families in the world today and to seek pastoral solutions for these challenges.
