Letter of Encouragement to Directors of Shrines Here is the letter of encouragement sent Aug. 15 by the Congregation for Clergy to the rectors of shrines. The letter is signed by Cardinal Mauro Piacenza and Archbishop Celso Morga Iruzubieta, the dicastery's prefect and secretary, respectively. I would like to convey my cordial greetings to each one of you, which I willingly extend to all those who assist you in the pastoral care of shrines, along with an expression of my sincere gratitude for the attentive dedication with which you come to the assistance of the pastoral needs of the pilgrims who approach the places of worship entrusted to your care in ever greater numbers from every part of the world.... Moreover, let shrines not forget, faithful to their glorious tradition, to be engaged in works of charity and assistance, human development, protecting the rights of the human person, the challenge of justice, all according to the social doctrine of the Church. It would also be good if there developed around them cultural initiatives, such as congresses, seminars, exhibitions, exhibitions, shows, and artistic events on religious themes. In this way shrines will also become promoters of culture, both high and popular, contributing to the cultural project directed in the Church's Christian understanding. In this way the Church, under the direction of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Star of the New Evangelization, through whom Grace itself communicates itself to humanity in need of redemption, prepares herself in every part of the world for the coming of the Savior. Shrines, those places where we go to seek, to hear, and to pray will become, mysteriously, places in which we will really be touched by God through His Word, the sacraments of Reconciliation and of the Eucharist, the intercession of the Mother of God, and of the saints.... In thanking each Rector once more for the dedication and pastoral charity with which they carry out their ministry, so that each Sanctuary may become an ever more loving sign of the presence of the Incarnate Word, may you be assured of the most cordial closeness of the Lord, under the gaze of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Source: University of Dayton (Dayton, OH) August 13 2011 When Brother Frank Deibel, S.M., attends Mass on Saturday, Aug. 13, it won't be only because it's his 103rd birthday. It's also Deibel's eighty-fifth jubilee--the celebration of the day eighty-five years ago that he took his first vows as a brother in the Society of Mary. He and other Marianists celebrating their anniversaries will be honored with a Mass at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, in the University of Dayton's Immaculate Conception Chapel followed by a reception and banquet. At 103, Deibel is the oldest vowed religious man known by the National Religious Retirement Office of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He taught at Catholic high schools in Ohio for two decades, coming to the University of Dayton in 1954 as an assistant librarian in the University's library and holding that position for nearly fifty years. N.B. Brother Frank worked at The Marian Library for many years just prior to retirement. All of us here wish him the very best and ask our readers to remember him in their prayers. May God grant him many years. Click here for the complete article. |
