Vatican II
|
In this Year of Faith proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI, we want to continue our mediations on the documents of Vatican II. The second major Constitution of the Council was the Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium. Pope John Paul II calls this document the “key to the Council”: “The conciliar view of the Church…was meant to give the Christian community a new pulse of vitality, a renewed spirit of communion and participation. The Church in our time must increasingly resemble the family, in which no one feels marginalized or merely part of the herd” (Angelus, Oct. 22, 1995).read more... |
Rarely has someone been so acutely aware of the meaning of the priesthood, its greatness and immense responsibility as St. John Mary Vianney, the holy Curé of Ars. He himself stated, "Oh, how great is a priest! The priest will not understand the greatness of his office till he is in Heaven. If he understood it on earth, he would die, not of fear, but of love." In a catechetical sermon he explained to his parishioners in simple words the sublime dignity of the priesthood and its importance for the sanctification of the people. We are quoting here some passages of his sermon On the Priesthood:read more... |

The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith sent to the presidents of the Bishop’s conferences a circular letter on the association Opus Angelorum that was dated 2 October 2010. It was then published in the English edition of L’Osservatore Romano on 24 November, 2010, p. 17. In this letter, the Congregation informs in

The Redemption accomplished through Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection lies at the center of our Catholic faith. This mystery is commemorated every Thursday and Friday in the Work of the Holy Angels in the celebration of the Passio Domini (“Passion of Our Lord”), where we watch and compassionate our Lord in His redeeming suffering. |

At present, since I have undertaken to treat of the origin of the Holy City, and first of the holy angels, who constitute a large part of this city, and indeed the more blessed part, since they have never been expatriated, I will give myself to the task of explaining, by God's help...the Scriptures which relate to this point. Where Scripture speaks of the world's creation, it is not plainly said whether or when the angels were created; but if mention of them is made, it is implicitly under the name of "heaven", read more...
