ST THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS, Virgin, Doctor
First Tuesday of the Month--The Souls in Purgatory
Zec 8: 20-23
Ps 87: 1-7
Lk 9: 51-56 

MONTHLY INTENTION FOR THE JESUS PRIEST INSTITUTE

So that with his eyes on Jesus Master, every priest may direct his ministry to the service of faith and the Good News.

From Father Tom: We can add, to telling it like it is, too many new doctrines these days are doing for those who preach them and those who practice them.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Bro Franco Dario SSP (1995)--Sr. M. Ignacia Cufree' PD (1998)--Sr. M. Alba Roagna FSP (2001)--Sr. M. Annunziata Stanizzi PD (2008)--Rina Taddei AIM (2011)--William Beck 1996)--Helen Vargo (2005)

ST JEROME, Priest & Doctor
Zs 8: 1-8
Lk 9: 46-50 

The Holy Spirit, giver of life to the Church, gives faith to individuals and peoples and also gives hope and charity to hearts (Mihi vivere Christus est, 145)

From Father Tom: We reflect too rarely on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and on His importance in our lives. And yet it was He Who visibly inaugurated the Church on the First Pentecost Sunday, not Jesus. "Come, Holy Spirit...fill our hearts and minds with Your gifts and inspire us to use them for ourselves and for all those we meet."

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. M. vittoria De Benedetti FSP (1984)--Bro. Innocenzo Manolino SSP (1967)--Fr. Antonio Bartolucci IJP (1984)--Fr. Gino Fornari SSP (1988)--Sr. M. Maddelena Vinagre PD (2007)--Sr. M. Rita Ruffo FSP (2009)--Sr. M. Veronica Crevani PD (2009)--Michael Fernandez (2005)

26TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Am 6: 1-7
1 Tm 6: 11-16
Lk 16: 19-31

The yearning of Jesus is that there be one Fold under one Shepherd. His thirst for souls is incessant. He wants all of us to be saved(BM 177).

From Father Tom: And that is what each of us should desire both for our brothers and sisters in the Institute and for those we contact through our apostolate.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Raffaella Rivetti PD (1975)--Fr. Ferdinando Sgambetterra IJP (1982)--St. Silvia Ragone FSP (1992)--Sr. M. Girolama Modena PD (1993)--Sr. M. Teofania Mazzara PD (2001)--Fr. Mario Maresi IJP (2003)--Antonietta Valenza HFI (2004)--Virgil Halcomb (1980)

ST WENCELAUS, Martyr
ST LAWRENCE RUIZ & Companions, Martyrs
Zach 2: 5-15
Lk 9: 43-45

Being redeemed by the blood of Jesus, all people are on a common journey toward the Father's house (BM 168).

From Father Tom: True. But the problem is to keep this truth firmly before our eyes. Even we consecrated people are easily blinded by some secondary person or event and so much precious time is lost.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Lilia Nicola PD (1982)--Fr. Renato Dorio SSP (2001).

September 27, 2013 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Friday, September 27

OF THE DAY
St. Vincent De Paul, Priest
Hg 2: 1-9
Lk 9: 18-22

The world lacks its true wealth: Jesus Christ. All should be of God, everything directed to a better life for the individual and for society (SP May, 49).

From Father Tom: Which of us would challenge this statement? None of us. And yet we are still too preoccupied with every possible question except this one:  how to make the Lord increasingly present in our own lives and in the lives of others.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Bro Benedetto Abrate SSP (1941)--Sr. Maddlena Dotta FSP (1978)--Sr. M. Beatrice Allocco D (1982)--Sr. M. Patrice Rouillard PD (1989)--Sr. M.

Thursday, September 26

OF THE DAY
SS Cosmas and Damian, Martyrs
Hg 1: 1-8
Lk 9: 7-9

All of us have the duty of charity toward others and all of us can do something: apostolate of prayer, of good example, or suffering, of works, of publications (BM 181).

From Father Tom: Why do we put "publications" (the essential work of the Pauline Family) last? Because without the others it remains "sound and fury, signifying nothers" (Shakespeare) 

Please pray for Our Deceased: Cleric Francesco Frizzi SSP (2934)--Fr. Pio Baroni SSP (1945)--Sr. Mardonia Espanol FSP (1990)--Sr. Bruna Battistone FSP (1992)--Jolanda Cecchetti HFI (2007)--Sr. Paolina Eleonora Boldrin SGBP (2007)--Sr. M.

September 25-26, 2013 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Hello, everyone,

I'm back from retreat and hope to get back on schedule now.

God bless...

Wednesday, September 25

OF THE DAY
Ezr 9: 5-9
Lk 9: 1-6

While on Earth, Jesus had those who admired Him and others who had the opposite attitude. So also the Church, on its way through history (BM 543).

From Father Tom: We should determine as soon as possible that our attitude toward the Church and her ministers will be eminently positive, not being alarmed by human weakness or blindness defects.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Maria Concetta Citarda IAM (1974)-- Sr. Rosa M. Onofre FSP (1989) Sr. M. Giovanna Nicosia FSP (1993)--Sr. Emiliana Miserere (1997)

Tuesday, September 24

25th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Ezr 6: 7-20
Lk 8: 19-21

People owe each other mutual love, respect and collaboration (BM 168).

From Father Tom: How then explain the messed-up situation of our world? Very simple. Satan has taken over a large slice of man kind and is creating havoc where there should be "respect and collaboration. "only the presence of the Evil One can explain certain situations. Let's make sure that the good qualities listed shine forth from our lives.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Consilia Marello FSP (1983)--Sr. Francesca Cordero FSP (1985)--Br. Michele Lando (1996)

September 19-23, 2013 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Hello, everyone,

I'm sorry for the mega-post, but I'm going to be on retreat and didn't want to miss any days. 

God bless...

Monday, September 23

ST PIO OF PIETRALCINA, priest
Ezr 1: 1-6
Lk 8: 16-18

All people are substantially equal in race, civilization and in their spiritual and immortal souls (BM 168).

From Father Tom: This is true even of exceptional human beings called to an exceptional vocation. Incidentally-to change the subject-the booklet highlighting the meeting between Fr. Pio and Fr. Alberione is available on request--it goes very well in our little shrine here.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sister M. Margherita Rabbia FSP (1990)--Fr. Mario Volpini IJP (1996)--Sr. Maria do Rosario Sandi FSP (1997)

Sunday, September 22

25th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Am 8: 4-7
1 Tm 2: 1-8
Lk 16: -13

Truth and grace were in Christ--"full of grace and truth." Truth and grace are still the life of the Church (FdA 146).

From Father Tom: "Truth and grace..." The comment here would need to be far longer but perhaps we can sum up the meaning by describing "Truth" as the practice of living coherently what we are called to be, and "Grace" as the divine incentive to continue living that way.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Riccaarda Pasin PD (1970)--Sr. Mercede Migliardi FSP (2007)--Sr. M. Letizia Britti FSP (2008).

Saturday, September 21

ST MATTHEW, Apostle & Evangelist
Eph 4: 1-13
Mt 9: 9-13

St. Matthew is one of only four people in the entire history of humanity called on to sketch the main teachings of the Master(BM 1).

From Father Tom: And called for a life as a public sinner--in the eyes of the Jews -- to a life of sanctity and service! Only God can be this forgiving.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Ermenegilda Pasqualini PD (1941)--Savino Crema HFI (1993)--Fr. Renato Perino SSP (1995)--Sr. M. Elena Tezzele FSP (2007)--Sr. M. Adelia Moreira FSP (2007)--Sr. Concetta Marongiu FSP (2009)--Sr. M. Letizia Di Michele FSP (2011)

Friday, September 20

SS ANDREA KIM TAEGUN and COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
1 Tm 6: 2-12
Lk 8: 1-3

The presence and activity of the Church has always a beneficial influence, even in the social and cultural field (May-Jun 1952).

From Father Tom: And that is why we will always continue to resist efforts to impose immoral standards such as were so much discussed twelve months ago.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr.M. Nazarena Taricco PD (1943)--Fr. Danielle Berardo SSP (1944)--Sr. M. Clelia Nakagawa PD (1985)--Sr. M. Bambina Framuta PD (1989)--Sr. M.

Thursday, September 19

OF THE DAY
St. Januarius, Martyr
1 Tm 4: 12-16
Lk 7: 36-50

God has a plan for my life and every day I should ask Him what the plan is (BM 363).

From Father Tom: The plan for you and me is set out in the commitments we made. An important thing is to take that commitment seriously and, in one important respect, to live it: promotion of the Institute in every way.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Luigi Rolfo SSP (1986)--Vincenza Vassallo HFI (1992)--Bro Modesto Gotelli SSP (Modesto Gotelli SSP (1998)--Sr. Anastasia Da Ros FSP (2005)--Johnnie Gastin (2000)

Tuesday, September 17

OF THE DAY
St. Rober Bellarmine, Bishop
1 Tm 3: 1-13
Lk 7: 11-17

The natural law and Christianity are at one in promoting the family as God willed it when He created Adam and Eve and gave us the example of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph(BM 170).

From Father Tom: We can only guess what Fr. Alberione would have written about the disasters facing family life today, but we can represent him by living and loving our own family life.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Cleric Silvio Albicini SSP (1938)--Fr. Salvatore Carolla SSP (1958)--Sr. Anna Giuseppina Cane FSP (1969)--Giovanna Malvolti IM (1991)--Bruno Pascalis HFI (1995)--Sr. Annunziatina Guidi FSP (1996)

SS CORNELIUS, POPE & CYPRIAN BISHOP, MARTYRS
1 Tim 2: 1-5
Lk 7: 1-10

In every situation we can enlighten people with our advice, give them good example and obtain graces and blessing for them with our prayers (BM 166).

From Father Tom: In other words, no need to go on the missions to find people in spiritual need--they are in every parish and every social class right outside our door. The problem is to see them--and to help them.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Emma Merlini PD (1991)--Msgr Vincenzo Iacomo IJP (1993)--Crescenza Brindisi HFI (2001)--Fr. Fedele Molino SSP (2006)--Susumu Uchino SSP (2008)--Ruth Hernandez (1989).

24th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Ex 32: 7-14
1 Tim 1: 12-17

Lk 15: 1-32

Every pain confided to Jesus becomes light. If accepted from His hands it ceases to be a cross (BM 536).

From Father Tom: It is actually an honor to be invited to suffer like the Master. On the other hand, we have the old Latin tag: : mens sana in corpore sano-a healthy mind in a health y body. We always need to ask why we are suffering as well as how.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Espedito Viconti IJP (1982)--Lina Savoldi IAM (1988)--Sr. M. Valentine Moser FSP (2005); Eusetio Albano (1940)

Saturday, September 14

EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS
Nm 21: 4-9

Jn 3: 13-17

One who loves Jesus crucified acquires a great desire to resemble Him (BM 349).

From Father Tom: However, the imposition of severe penances should always be cleaerd with the confessor or spiritual adviser. Suffering in itself is an evil and should be borne patiently rather than seeking to add to it. Jesus enjoyed 30+ years of perfect health before Calvary.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. M. Innocenza Columbara FSP (1986)--Fr. Giuseppe Galasso SSP (1993)-- Sr. Michelina Pomo FSP (1998)--Fr. Francesco Cappa SSP (2003)--Erminia Finotti IAM (2003)--Sr. Mary Nazarene Prestolippo FSP (2011)--Bob Vincenzo (1999)

Friday, September 13

ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM, Bishop,  Doctor
1 Tim 1: 1-14

Lk 6: 39-42

A noble and great work is to pray and suffer for society and for the salvation of all people (BM 300-301).

From Father Tom: Do we do this? I am not so sure that I do myself--a sense of futility can crush anybody. And there is also the question: who exactly am I praying for? And I have to answer: the person or persons the Master assigned to me when I joined the Society (even if I never learn who they are). Same for you. There are no "people in general" --always specific people.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Doris Osegueda Santin IAM (1999)--Sr. M. Tecla Quiroz Hernandez FSP (2001)-- Art Brophy (1999)--James a Ducote Sr. (1978)

OF THE DAY
The Most Holy Name of Mary

Col 5: 12-17

Lk 6: 27-38

A person of faith sees in everything and in every event the Divine will for him or her (BM 180).

From Father Tom: And it can't be any other way. Things happen, not by chance, but as part of an enormous, overall Divine plan. Each of us is involved with that plan as we serve God in whatever capacity (or fail to). My life affects the lives of all those I meet just as their lives affect  mine.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Kieran Hayes SSP (1973)--Sr. M. Giovanna Buniotto FSP (1981)--Bro Anania Rosso SSP (1982)--Sr. Lina Gozzo FSP (1984)--Sr. Lydia Manfro FSP (1988)--Herberto Santa Zuluaga HFI (1988)--Sr. M. Giuseppa Crisponi PD (2003)--Sr. M. Laurentana Carnevale PD (2008)

Wednesday, September 11

OF THE DAY

Col 3: 1-11

Lk 6: 20-26

Humility, sincerity, simplicity and innocence are the virtues that make us dear to the Heavenly Father (BM 371).

From Father Tom: And dear also to everyone else. There are some people one likes immediately even though it is not easy to say why. Perhaps what is called "transparency" is their distinguishing characteristic. How do you and I rate in this connection.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Pascasio Marsigli SSP (1962)--Sr. Amalia Peyrolo FSP (1980)--Fr. Maggiorino Portaluppi SSP (1980)---Bro Pierino Panno SSP (2010)-- Albert Murray HFI (2991)

Tuesday, September 10

OF THE DAY

Col 2:6-15

Lk 6: 12-19

Every pain confided to Jesus becomes light if accepted from His hands and in those circumstances it ceases to be a cross. (BM 536).

From Father Tom: Not, I would imagine the sense that the pain disappears but rather that the pain is now accepted because of its redemptive value. No pain is easy to bear but the thought that all our pain can be redemptive gives a new meaning to it.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Antonietta Cafaro IAM (1973)—Sr. Rosa Cummaudo SGBP (1985)—Fr. Alfonso Colaneri IJP (1990)—Sr. M. Ausilia Castillo PD (2007)—Fr. Antonio Mighita SSP (2010)—Pablo M. Garcia 1990)

OF THE DAY

St. Peter Claver, priest

Col 1: 23-2:3

Lk 6: 6-11

Among the last words of Jesus to His apostles at the Last Supper was: “Love one another.” Love of the truth, for the truth and in this truth is the first and most sanctifying. And He appealed to His Father: “Sanctifying them in truth.”

In our case the truth is our Pauline prayers and practices and the theory that underlies our work in the Church. WE are for sure not a major group of consecrated people so we have to accept our prayers and practices as being the real reason we do any good I the Church.

From Father Tom: Exactly. And so, what do I intend to do TODAY to continue on the road to heaven.

Please pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Dorotea Marchisio FSP (1945)—Fr. Francesco Perino SSP (1946)—Sr. M. Lucia Gironelli PD (1977)—Sr. M. Angelina Bordino PD (1978)—Fr.

XXIII SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Wis 9: 13-18
Phlm 9-10, 12-17
Lk 14: 25-33

Love of the truth, for the truth and in the truth is the first and most sanctifying love. "Sanctify them in truth" was the Master's prayer as He went out to die for all of us. (SP January, 1955).

From Father Tom: True. But it is also costly at least from time to time. Facing up to the truth about ourselves has to be one of the great fruits of this year's Triduum. Perpetual Profession means we do BETTER than we did before making it-don't add to your responsibility, dear members.

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Sr. M. Adele Dal Bello SGBP (1995)--Sr.M. Ignazia Lumini FSP (1996)--Fr. Donato Bianco (2000)--Luisa Loera (1971)--Colleen Kettly (1996)

BLESSED VIRGIN MARY ON SATURDAY
First Saturday of the month--Mary, Queen of Apostles
Col 1: 21-13
Lk 6: 1-5

We have a mission and one day the Master will invite us to give an account of how we have accomplished it--or not accomplished it (RSP p. 149).

From Father Tom: The quotes so far have been largely on the same lines and so also the commentary. So as we move on to the Triduum, we have to look back--we just HAVE to!--and answer honestly the basic question: am I better off now (spiritually)than I was four years ago?

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Sr. Venanzia Galiffa FSP (1949)--Sr. M. Claudia Cruz FSP (1963)--Bro Paolo Zanatta SSP (1980)--Sr. M. Lia Vegetti PD (1986)--Sr. M. Rosa Curcio SGBP (1993)--Sr. M.

Friday, September 6

OF THE DAY
First Friday of the month--the Sacred Heart
Col 1: 15-20
Lk 5: 33-39

Many things must be accepted patiently because they are independent of us--we cannot control them. Even in this situation, however, we can still observe the will of God and so become saints...(BM P. 179).

From Father Tom: We can indeed...as long as we don't want to become "saints"--to our great satisfaction--but merely struggle along quietly, hidden from others, and with a sense of being inadequate no matter what we do.

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Sr. Delfina Desterfanis FSP (1956)--Sr. M. Domenica Dolcini FSP (1963)--Sr. Garofalo FSP (1987)--Sr. Gabriela Zanuz SGBP (2007)--Dominic Vincenzo (no year)

September 5, 2013 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Thursday, September 5

OF THE DAY
First Thursday of the month--the Guardian Angels
Col 1: 9-14
Lk 5: 1-11

Holiness consists in carrying out the will of God as we see it, depending on one's state in life, on the work done and on the other circumstances (BM P. 179).

From Father Tom: That seems very self-evident, doesn't it? Yes, it does, but also rather unattractive. Don't we all want our sanctity to be seen in remarkable accomplishments, in popular acclaim, in personal satisfaction as we move gloriously through life? So...when are we going to think straight?

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Sr. M. Carmine Nicolo PD (1943)--Sr. Giacoina Blunno FSP (1951)--Alberto Folcani HFI (1977)--Sr. Erminia Brunetti FSP (1996)--Tony Suniga (1996)

September 4, 2013 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Wednesday, September 4

OF THE DAY
First Wednesday of the month--St. Joseph
Col 1: 1-8
Lk 4: 38-44

Human beings must make God a permanent part of their lives: their minds by means of a living faith; their wills by means of a virtuous life, their hearts by a supernatural sentiments (SP October 1952).

From Father Tom: As soon as God is left out of our calculations--or perhaps has never been a significant part of them--there is at best a tremendous waste of precious time as we follow one false lead after another, never consulting the One Who alone know who we really are and what we should be really doing.

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Sr. Vincenza Merio FSP (1943)--Ven Bro. Andrea M. Borello SSP (1948)--Bro Paulo Viegas SSP (1987)--Sr. Domenica Bond SGBP (1991)--Sr. M. Fidelis Pulinas FSP (2000)--Bro Julian Villalzan SSP (2003)--Sr. M. Trinity Taricco PD (2008)--Sr. M. Emma Fornaro FSP (2008)

ST GREGORY THE GREAT
First Tuesday of the month--the Souls in Purgatory
<1 Thes 5: 1-11
Lk 4: 31-37

The perfect pastor is born of Mary, has been formed by her, has grown with her and she goes with Him as He sacrifices His life for His people (Prediche alle Suore Pastorelle p. 77)

From Father Tom: This applies also more broadly: parents who are the first teachers of their children. Those in public office for their constituents. All those who are in any way responsible for huan lives.

OF THE DAY
First Monday of the month--St. Paul
1 Thes 4: 13-18
Lk 4: 16-20

God had some plans for me. I must not make myself unworthy of His interest and concern (BM 363)

From Father Tom: Far too many have no awareness of God's concern, sometimes because they don't believe in God at all, sometimes because His world seems to have got away from Hi. It is our duty to maintain our own faith convictions and courageously share them with all those we meet.

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Fr Gabriele Costs SSP (1949)--Fr. Giovanni Roatta SSP (1985)--Luigia Bosio HFI (1986)--Fr. Luigi Vidano SSP (1993)--Sr. M.

September 2013 Papal Intentions

Hello, everyone, here are the Holy Father's Monthly Intentions for September 2013. God bless!

SEPTEMBER

Value of Silence. That people today, often overwhelmed by noise, may rediscover the value of silence and listen to the voice of God and their brothers and sisters.

Persecuted Christians. That Christians suffering persecution in many parts of the world may by their witness be prophets of Christ's love.

Heb 2: 18-24
Lk 14: -14

MONTHLY INTENTION

For the Institute of St. Gabriel the Archangel so that in today's world all its members may feel called to share with others the truth the Master has left us.

From Father Tom: And what an important truth that is! Was there ever a time in world history marked by as much falsehood as our is? We hear much about the terrible physical suffering of the planet, but that will end with death while the suffering following from falsehood will only increase

Please Pray for our Deceased:  Sr. M. Zefirina Baldi FSP (1947)--Cecilia Campagna FSP (1963)--Sr. M. Rital Simaz PD (1980)--Sr. M Luigina Salva FSP (1992)--Sr. M. Daniela Vezzulli FSP (1997)Sr. M. Adalgisa Tavella PD (2003)--Ninfa Viconti HFI (2009)--Sr. Agostinha Boff FSP (2010)
