St. Joseph Summit

CWR Dispatch: 3-day Saint Joseph Summit virtual conference to focus on St. Joseph as spiritual father

An interview with Deacon Steve Greco, founder of Spirit Filled Hearts Ministry, about the Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2021 virtual event, which will feature over 30 speakers.

website

CWR: What do you think Joseph was like?

Deacon Greco: He was a compassionate man. Imagine how hard it was for him to see his betrothed come back from seeing her cousin Elizabeth, but with a child he knew wasn’t his. Some men at that time would have had their wives stoned in such a situation, but Joseph instead planned to quietly divorce her.

Joseph was also open to the Holy Spirit, the promptings of God. When God revealed to him in a dream that Mary had not sinned, but that the Child was of the Holy Spirit, he accepted what God told him and brought Mary into his home. He did not have to accept that dream; he had to discern that it was from God.

Joseph was a man of great faith, of great patience, and one who loved his family. Imagine the stress on him when it was time for Mary to give birth. He must have been frantic, but in the end was able to secure the perfect place. I’m sure a stable in Bethlehem was not the script he would have been written, but when he saw this was the direction God pointed him, he went with it.

CWR: Do you picture Joseph as old or young?

Deacon Greco: I have to go with what Fr. Calloway said in Consecration to St. Joseph. Not too many old men would have been able to dash from Bethlehem to Egypt to escape King Herod’s soldiers. He may not have been a teenager like Mary, but I suspect he was in his 20s or early 30s.

Ines Angeli Murzaku on Bose

CWR Dispatch: Troubles at Bose highlight need for authentic ecumenism, monasticism
by Ines Angeli Murzaku
The focus of the Bose community in Magnano, Italy is ecumenism, but it is not an authentic unity where theological, ecclesiological, and historical differences are discussed, prayed for, and lived out.

"There is, according the Rule, no need to change or convert or change denomination, because one belongs to Christ through the church of his/her baptism to the end."

Baptism without the Gift of the Holy Spirit is incomplete.

Speaking of ironies, the day (July 22, 2014) Pope Francis appointed Br. Bianchi as consultor to the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, this how Bianchi responded to the unexpected appointment: “The Pope will reform the papacy, and this will favor the relations with the Orthodox,” adding that “the reform of the papacy means a new balance between synodality and primacy…This would help to create a new style of papal primacy and the government of bishops.”

Baptism here means baptism by water and by Spirit (Chrismation), it is fine. But that's not what Latins mean.

“By baptism men are brought within the paschal mystery. Dead with Christ, buried with Christ, risen with Christ, they receive the Spirit that makes them God’s adopted children, crying out: ‘Abba, Father’; and so they become the true adorers that the Father seeks.” -Vatican II

The Good Shepherd

The Mission of the Church

“Our Church's mission is to infuse these God-human virtues and ascetic exertions into the people's way of living; to have their life and soul knit firm with the Christ-like God-human virtues. For therein lies salvation from the world...” -St. Justin Popovic pic.twitter.com/7siwKSZZxz

Of Course a Latin View

CWR Dispatch: Full text: Pope Francis’ Easter Urbi et Orbi blessing 2021

“Dear brothers and sisters, once again this year, in various places many Christians have celebrated Easter under severe restrictions and, at times, without being able to attend liturgical celebrations. We pray that those restrictions, as well as all restrictions on freedom of worship and religion worldwide, may be lifted and everyone be allowed to pray and praise God freely.”

The crucified Jesus, none other, has risen from the dead. God the Father raised Jesus, his Son, because he fully accomplished his saving will. Jesus took upon himself our weakness, our infirmities, even our death. He endured our sufferings and bore the weight of our sins. Because of this, God the Father exalted him and now Jesus Christ lives forever; he is the Lord.

Christ Is Risen!

Gesualdo Six: "Ave verum corpus" by William Byrd

On Holy Saturday, here is our performance of Byrd’s Ave verum corpus recorded in @Ely_Cathedral. Filming this piece was a special experience for many of us, as this was one of the first pieces we learned as choristers in churches around the UK. https://t.co/sgTvXo5viH

Why Confession?

Why Confession? | One of the most unfortunate things about confession is that we’ve warped the meaning of confession. Today, most people understand confession in a very legalistic way. https://t.co/B1SgfV4xmZ pic.twitter.com/8VpzwK7anZ

And Why Is Fraternity among Roman Catholics Wounded?

“Fraternity among Catholics is wounded,” said Cardinal Cantalamessa during his #GoodFriday homily. “Divisions between Churches have torn Christ’s tunic to shreds, and worse still, each shredded strip has been cut up into even smaller snippets." pic.twitter.com/SCo86gWYo3

"Ne Irascaris Domine"

I am enheartened & amazed that VOCES8: 'Ne Irascaris Domine' & 'Civitas Sancti Tui' by William Byrd has over 1 million views. The more popular pieces, sure. But clearly someone's listening to Renaissance genius. Jerusalem desolata est #HolyThursday https://t.co/JrrIlpqcEJ

A Latin Perspective, Naturally

The emphasis on giving back to God...

The Eucharist is Jesus himself who gives himself entirely to us. Nourishing ourselves of Him and abiding in Him through Eucharistic Communion, if we do so with faith, transforms our life, transforms it into a gift to God and to our brothers and sisters. #HolyThursday

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) April 1, 2021

Eucharistia ipse Iesus est, qui ex integro nobis dono datur. Eo pasci et in Eo per eucharisticam Communionem commorari, si hoc cum fide facimus, vitam nostram innovat, in donum innovat Deo et fratribus. #FeriaVinCenaDomini
