POPE RECEIVES GENERAL DIRECTORS OF PONTIFICAL MISSIONARY WORKS FOR FIRST TIME, CONFIRMS THEIR RELEVANCE

Vatican City, 17 May 2013 (VIS) – The Pontifical Missionary Works (POM) are “entirely relevant, even more, they are still necessary today because there are so many peoples who have still not known and met Christ and it is urgent to find new forms and new ways that God’s grace might touch the heart of each man and each woman and bring them to him.” With these words, Pope Francis greeted the national directors of the POM for the first time, thanking them because they help him “keep evangelization, the paradigm of every act of the Church, alive.” The Holy Father noted that the Missionary Works are also called “pontifical” because “they are at the Bishop of Rome’s direct disposal, with the specific purpose of acting so that the precious gift of the Gospel might be offered to all.” “Certainly,” he said, “the mission that awaits us is difficult but, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it becomes an exciting mission. … This is what we should always draw courage from: knowing that the strength of evangelization comes from God, belongs to him

What do we do now Lord?May 8th, 2013 by deaconmike In a scene at the very end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a “great commission” which in part answers the question raised by the disciple in the stain glass window who upon seeing Jesus ascend into heaven asks his friend , “What do we do now?The Great Commission Matthew 28 (16-20) Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted

A Litany of Patrons I am very happy that my parents christened me Mark Daniel, thereby giving me the patronage of both an evangelist and a prophet! At Confirmation I added the name of Saint Michael for the glorious Archangel, and my monastic patrons are the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and Blessed Columba Marmion, with the title “of the Heart of Jesus.” As far as I can determine, I am the first Mark in the family while being one of a very long line of Daniels.Hastening to the Cross Saint Mark’s Gospel has been described as a “hastening to the Cross.” It is Saint Mark who gives us the confession of faith of the centurion Saint Longinus, while Saint John tells us that the same centurion opened the side of Jesus with a lance

GENERAL AUDIENCE: KEY AT FINAL JUDGEMENT WILL BE LOVE

atican City, 24 April 2013 (VIS) – Pope Francis dedicated the catechesis of his Wednesday general audience to three Gospel texts that help us to enter into the mystery of one of the truths professed in the Creed: that Jesus “will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead”. The three texts are: the parable of the ten virgins; the parable of the talents; and the final judgement

Peter Kreeft on the Buddha

Peter Kreeft here, for all his keen articulations which are knowledgeable and insightful (which also are his shortcomings), is just another example of how much you should flee Comparative Religion no matter what, and no matter how much the outweighing truth is given to Christianity, for that presentation of outweighing truth will only be an outweighing balance.Been there, done that.It’s a rum game wherein a “clearer” angle or a pivotal height from which to view Christianity, and from which Christianity is upheld as the truth, somehow becomes a horrible leveling out of the faith to a chilly sort of ground zero.And people buy into it because it makes them headstrong. They turn the Faith into something they can grasp.Pope Francis has spoken about ideologies falsifying the Gospel, hasn’t he?Anyways, I was told a story once by one writer who said that a legend says that when the Buddha lay dying, he said to his disciples, “There is one coming in 500 years who is worth more than ten thousand Buddhas.”As with all Aristotles and pre-incarnational pagan prophets, he was halfways or nearly or not quite right, but nearly, or right in a way, and yet in another way, was way, way off the mark and had not the foggiest of the Surprise
