The life of Anthony will remind many people of St. Francis of Assisi. At 20, Anthony was so moved by the Gospel message, “Go, sell what you have, and give to [the] poor” (Mark 10:21b), that he actually did just that with his large inheritance. He is different from Francis in that most of Anthony’s life was spent in solitude. He saw the world completely covered with snares, and gave the Church and the world the witness of solitary asceticism, great personal mortification and prayer. But no saint is antisocial, and Anthony drew many people to himself for spiritual healing and guidance.
At 54, he responded to many requests and founded a sort of monastery of scattered cells. Again like Francis, he had great fear of “stately buildings and well-laden tables.”
At 60, he hoped to be a martyr in the renewed Roman persecution of 311, fearlessly exposing himself to danger while giving moral and material support to those in prison. At 88, he was fighting the Arian heresy, that massive trauma from … — Детайли »

Dominicans honor one of their own today, Blessed Bartholomew of Vicenza. This was a man who used his skills as a preacher to challenge the heresies of his day.
Bartholomew was born in Vicenza around 1200. At 20 he entered the Dominicans. Following his ordination he served in various leadership positions. As a young priest he founded a military order whose purpose was to keep civil peace in towns throughout Italy.
In 1248, Bartholomew was appointed a bishop. For most men, such an appointment is an honor and a tribute to their holiness and their demonstrated leadership skills. But for Bartholomew, it was a form of exile that had been urged by an antipapal group that was only too happy to see him leave for Cyprus. Not many years later, however, Bartholomew was transferred back to Vicenza. Despite the antipapal feelings that were still evident, he worked diligently—especially through his preaching—to rebuild his diocese and strengthen the people’s loyalty to Rome.
During his years as … — Детайли »
This is the true story of a Marine wounded in Korea in 1950. Writing to his mother, he told her of a fascinating encounter he experienced in the war. Father Walter Muldy, a navy chaplain who spoke to the young Marine and his mother as well as to the outfit commander, always affirmed the veracity of this narrative. We heard it from someone who read the original letter and retell the story here in all its details and in the first person to better convey some of the impact it must have had when first told by the son to his mother.

From the grassy plains of Normandy Mont Saint Michel rises dramatically out of the northern Atlantic.
Natural land bridges connecting it to mainland France and surfaced disappeared over time.
This tidal island started developing in the 6th century and now reaches a staggering height.
A maze of walkways and steep staircases make up much of today's landscape.
The walls of the island have witnessed many battles including the hundred years war.
The site has been used for religious purposes for many centuries.
However the abbey was also a prison for political descenders after the French revolution.
In 1979 it was named the UNESCO world heritage site for its natural and man-made beauty.
Though its physical connection to the mainland is tenuous, its allure is as strong as ever.
Pope remembers his trip to Germany during general audience
During Wednesday's general audience, the pope reflected on his recent four day trip to his native Germany. The audience was held in St. Peter's Square with roughly 10,000 people in attendance.
FULL SPEECH:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This past weekend I made an Apostolic Journey to my native land of Germany, visiting the cities of Berlin, Erfurt, Eichsfeld and Freiburg. The theme of my visit – "Where God is, there is a future" – was a reminder that it is God who gives ultimate meaning to our lives and, as the source of all good, sustains our efforts to build a just, free and flourishing society.
In Berlin, I had the honour of addressing the German Parliament, while in Erfurt, a city linked to the memory of Martin Luther, I met the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany and joined in an ecumenical service of prayer for Christian unity. At Vespers in Etzelsbach and at Mass in Erfurt, I recalled the strong traditions of … — Детайли »

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Vatican's special exhibit hall wasn't big enough to honor the life and ministry of Pope John Paul II, so the exhibit begins in St. Peter's Square, said Barbara Jatta, curator of what is described as Pope Benedict XVI's special tribute to his predecessor.
"The exhibit begins in the square, which for the first time ever for a beatification, is decorated with one large photograph of the pope with his pastoral staff as well as with photographs from each year of his pontificate," Jatta told reporters April 28.
In addition, she said, "the exhibit leads directly to the basilica where people can venerate the tomb of Pope John Paul II."

Inform your priest of this very important feast and share with Him the Devotion of Divine Mercy.

Aide Reflects on Resource, Risk of Nuclear Power
Lauds Rescue Workers in Japan
VATICAN CITY, MARCH 20, 2011 (Zenit.org).- Nuclear energy is an immense resource for man but the questions about its risks must not be neglected, says a Vatican spokesman.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican press office, made this reflection on the latest episode of "Octava Dies."
He spoke about the March 11 earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan, noting that the images "which have been transmitted for days, continue to disturb us and make us raise questions."
The priest continued, "At first they evoked dramatic memories of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean six years ago that left in its wake a frightening number of victims, but even more: a sea of suffering and sorrow that calls on our compassion, our solidarity, our prayer."
Japanese authorities are currently reporting 8,450 deaths, 2,701 people injured, and 12,931 people missing after the disaster.

Bishops Voice Solidarity with Japan, Urge Catholics to Support Efforts of Catholic Relief Services Following Earthquake
WASHINGTON (March 16, 2011)—Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), expressed the prayers and solidarity of the U.S. bishops and Catholic for the people of Japan following the March 11 earthquake.
In his March 14 letter to Archbishop Leo Jun Ikenaga, SJ, of Osaka, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan, Archbishop Dolan said the “estimates of suffering, loss of life and physical damage challenge our ability to grasp the reality of such an event.”
Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the humanitarian agency of the U.S. bishops, is responding to the tragedy and receiving donations, said Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona, chairman of the CRS board.
“These will be used for the immediate humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable and support the local Catholic Church in its on-going … — Детайли »
The October Revolution was a masonic revolution. Lenin and Trotsky were both Freemasons of the 33rd degree. Communism was not created by political theorists but by masonic sectaries, whose purpose was to exterminate the Christian religion by first overthrowing the Christian monarchies, abolishing international boundaries, and erecting a Godless one-world republic. Communism is not a mere social revolution. It is a masonic revolution whose purpose is to carry out Freemasonry’s stated program to abolish all governments, property, and religion, and to build a new Godless order on the ruins of the old order.
Richard Wurmbrandt, who has studied carefully the writings of Karl Marx and who, himself, had been tortured terribly in the prison camps of the communists, wrote in his book, Was Karl Marx a Satanist? — "The ultimate aim of communism is not to establish another social or economic system, it is to mock God and praise Satan."

Radiation risk as Japan nuke reactor heats up http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42025882/ns/world_news-asia-pacific/# TOKYO — Japan's massive earthquake caused a power outage that disabled a nuclear reactor's cooling system, triggering evacuation orders for about 3,000 residents as the government declared its first-ever state of emergency at a nuclear plant. Pressure is rising inside the nuclear reactor, Japanese officials said, after a backup generator also failed and the cooling system was unable to supply water to cool the reactor, though at least one backup cooling system is being used. The reactor core remains hot even after a shutdown. Japan's nuclear safety agency said that to reduce the pressure, slightly radioactive vapor may be released at the plant near Onahama city, some 170 miles northeast of Tokyo. It added that the vapor would not impact the environment or health. If the outage in the cooling system persists, eventually radiation could leak out into the environment, and, in … — Детайли »

La Sainte Face au jour de la Résurrection
Seigneur, je veux chercher Votre Face…
Le jour de Sa Résurrection, Notre Seigneur se montra plusieurs fois à Sa Sainte Mère, aux Saintes Femmes, à Ses Apôtres. Il sortait du Sépulcre, doué d'une vue spirituelle et incorruptible, rayonnant de gloire et d'immortalité. Dans cet état, ce qui attirait surtout l'attention, c'était la beauté et l'éclat qui rayonnaient sur la Sainte Face du Sauveur Triomphant.
Acte de désir: Quand irons-nous et paraîtrons-nous devant la Face de notre Dieu ? Quand le verrons-nous face à Face ?

Masses in honour of the Holy Face appeared as early as the fourteenth century. In 1958 Pope Pius XII approved the observance of a feast of the Holy Face of Jesus on Shrove Tuesday. At Manoppello, the feast of the Holy Face is celebrated on August 6th, the Transfiguration of the Lord. The Benedictines of Jesus Crucified honoured the Holy Face with the Litanies sung in procession on the Sunday After Ascension.
The present Mass of the Holy Face of Jesus for Shrove Tuesday was approved by the Holy See in 1986.
