    Bl. Mose Tovini Catholic.net Roman martyrology: In Brescia, Italy, Blessed Mosè Tovini, priest of the diocese of that city (1930). Beatification date: September 17, 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI SHORT BIOGRAPHY Born December 27, 1877 in Cividate Camuno, Brescia, Italy. Eldest of eight children, the son of Eugenio, an accountant, and Domenica Malaguzzi, a teacher. Nephew and god-son of Blessed Giuseppe Tovini. Attended elementary school in Breno, Italy, and was a good student. Moved in with Blessed Giuseppe in Brescia, Italy at age nine to continue his studies. He made his First Communion on November 14, 1886. Went to school in Romano Lombardia, Italy in 1889. Mose began to feel a call to the priesthood, but his father opposed it, and he put off the training. Attended high school in Celana, Bergamo, Italy, but had trouble with city life, and was abused by his fellow students. He returned home, and this time his father agreed with Mose's call to the priesthood. The boy moved back in with his uncle Giuseppe, and studied at the seminary in Brescia. Upon finishing the minor seminary, during which his uncle had died, Mose took off from school and joined the army. His personal piety even impressed his fellow soldiers. He reached the rank of sergeant, was discharged on October 31, 1898, returned home, and resumed his studies for the priesthood. Ordained in Brescia on June 9, 1900 at age 22. Assigned as chaplain of Astrio, Italy. He was soon sent to Rome, Italy to continue his studies, and by 1904 had degrees in mathematics, philosophy, and theology.

    ECHO ECHO OF MARY Queen of peace 142 November-December 1998 - Info Our Lady's message of 25 Sept. 1998: Dear Children, I invite you today to become my witnesses by living the faith of your fathers. My Children, you seek signs and messages and do not see that God, with the rising of the sun each morning, calls you to convert and to return to the path of truth and salvation. You talk much, my Children, but you work little for your conversion. Therefore, convert and begin to live my messages; not with words, but with your lives. Then my Children, you will have the strength to decide for true conversion of the heart. Thank you for responding to my call. Be my Witnesses, and work at Conversion of Heart Our Lady once again speaks of living the faith, and of conversion of heart. Her plea to live the messages is mixed with a reproach for the way we talk too much of and live too little our faith. The message contains an unusual call to become Her witnesses of the faith. The way to do this is to live the faith of our fathers. Faith is accepting with all one's heart and life those promises of the invisible God Who revealed Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Mary lived in the faith of the fathers, making it Her own. Let us look at Abraham's faith. He had no doubts when he offered in sacrifice his son of the promise, thinking that God is able to raise man even from the dead (cf.

    The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO CHIAVARI AND BRESCIA (ITALY) (SEPTEMBER 18-20, 1998) ADDRESS OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY AND SCHOOL APOSTOLATES IN THE CATHEDRAL Sunday, 20 September 1998 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Directors and Leaders of the Family and School Apostolates, 1. During my brief visit to your Church, my meeting with you is particularly significant and gives me great joy today as Brescia commemorates the centenary year of Paul VI's birth and rejoices in the beatification of Giuseppe Tovini, both distinguished sons of your land. They both offer a message precisely about the matters in which you are particularly involved, promotion of the family and education of the young. The new blessed speaks to us by the example of his life. Indeed, he was an exemplary husband, the father of 10 children, who was able to make his family a true “domestic church”, rich in prayer and communion. Then, in his civil role, he distinguished himself as a tireless leader of educational initatives to imbue schools with Christian truth. 2. In a different role, Paul VI also deserves praise for these two noble causes. In his magisterium, both as Archbishop of Milan and as Pastor of the universal Church, he devoted a special place to the family. His concern for this matter was rooted in his own experience of a family marked by great sensitivity to relationships and deep spirituality. The Church in Brescia could not but be influenced by these two figures. Therefore, she does well today to recall them with legitimate pride and to let them infuse new zeal into her pastoral activity, especially in the areas of school and the family.

  • Should There Be a Place for Spirituality in Business? Reflections on Spirituality of a Business Leader
    MELITA THEOLOGICA David Cortis1 Journal of the Faculty of Theology University of Malta 67/2 (2017): 191-216 Should there be a Place for Spirituality in Business? Reflections on Spirituality of a Business Leader owadays, in the Western world, many people are realising that there is more Nto profits in the economy. In a post-Enron world,2 people have become aware of the importance of ethics in business and the values that are being exercised in the day-to-day leadership. At the same time, spirituality in business and the workplace has increased. In the introduction to their book, Managing as if faith mattered, Alford and Naughton, pointed out that: Ten years ago [in 1991], questions of faith and spirituality seemed, confined to the private realm, discussed publicly only in churches or during retreats. Now, conferences, seminars, and workshops reveal an awakening to the importance of the religious and spiritual dimensions in all realms of life.3 Furthermore, a proliferation of books on this subject; some of which I have read, have and are still being published at a steady pace. These include:The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People; Jesus CEO; Working from the Heart; The Soul of Business; Spirit at Work; Leading with Soul; Redefining the Corporate Soul; 1 David Cortis is an assistant lecturer in moral theology, especially in business ethics, at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Malta. He pursued his studies in commerce, accountancy, and later in theology at the University of Malta and the Pontifical University of Comillas, Madrid. 2 A scandal, revealed in October 2001, eventually led to the largest bankruptcy reorganisation in American history at that time of the Enron Corporation, an American energy company.

Padre Agostino Gemelli and the crusade to rechristianize Italy, 1878–1959: Part one Abstract Padre Agostino Gemelli (1878-1959) was an outstanding figure in Catholic culture and a shrewd operator on many levels in Italy, especially during the Fascist period. Yet he remains little examined or understood. Scholars tend to judge him solely in light of the Fascist regime and mark him as the archetypical clerical fascist. Gemelli founded the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1921, the year before Mussolini came to power, in order to form a new leadership class for a future Catholic state. This religiously motivated political goal was intended to supersede the anticlerical Liberal state established by the unifiers of modern Italy in 1860. After Mussolini signed the Lateran Pacts with the Vatican in 1929, Catholicism became the officialeligion r of Italy and Gemelli’s university, under the patronage of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), became a laboratory for Catholic social policies by means of which the church might bring the Fascist state in line with canon law and papal teachings.

    INSPIRING STORIES OF CATHOLIC SAINTS FOR MARRIED COUPLES AGAPÈ BOOK 1 SAINTS FOR CatholicMinistries FAMILIES TODAY BOOKS SERIES DEDICATED TO BUILDING STRONG CHRIST CENTERED FAMILIES After 15 years of teaching Catholic Marriage Preparation courses to engaged couples and offering married enrichment programs, I can say with certainty that as Catholic married couples, we need saintly role models. To see the witness of how other couples have lived their vocation to marriage with holiness and true faith in God, inspires us to do the same. This short book is the first in a series which presents the stories of saints who can inspire us to follow Christ more closely on our path and vocation in life. Some saints did not share the same faith with their spouses and other saints not only shared the faith, but lived it to the fullest. Some were martyrs and others lived the daily martyrdom of ordinary life. Some of the saints had many children and other had none. Each of these couples or married saints comes with a specific God given gift, or virtue, to share with all of us. We hope these stories lift your spirits, inspire you to love God more and have a happier and holier marriages.
