Pope in Loreto: Mary’s House a home for youth, families, sick – Vatican News

Fra Roderic — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 00:06:26 +0000

During a brief pastoral visit to the Italian city of Loreto, Pope Francis calls the House of Mary a home for young people, families, and the sick, where all can find hope in an oasis of silence and piety.

By Devin Watkins

Pope Francis celebrated Mass in the Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto on Monday, to mark the Feast of the Annunciation.

Tradition holds that the Virgin Mary lived within the relocated walls housed in the Sanctuary, and there received the Angel’s message of the Annunciation.

Following Mass, the Holy Father spoke to the 10,000-strong crowd of the faithful gathered in the square in front of the Basilica.

Pope Francis said the Sanctuary is “a privileged place to contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God,” since it is “the house of Mary.”

June 23 – St. Joseph Cafasso – Franciscan Saint of the Day

apostolate — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 22:08:28 +0000

The life of St. Joseph Cafasso, Confessor, Third Order (1811-1860) for the June 23rd Franciscan Saint of the Day. He was an Italian priest who joined the third order and did much work with the disadvantaged, including the poor, orphans, and sick, but most particularly with prisoners. He also fought the heresy of Jansenism and promoted devotion to Mary and gave much counsel to the young St. John Bosco.

Reflection is on the spiritual needs of prisoners for whom Jesus also died and some are even innocent of the crimes they are condemned for.

June 26 – St Jutta of Thuringia – Franciscan Saint of the Day

apostolate — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 01:23:32 +0000

The life of St Jutta of Thuringia, Widow, Third Order (1200-1264) for the June 26th Franciscan Saint of the Day. She was a very pious, married, noblewoman, and led her husband to similar piety. After he passed away on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, she gave away all her riches to give sustenance to the poor. She spent the last years of her life praying for the conversion of the Prussians. Reflection is on Christian widowhood and establishing a reputation in good works and prayer, following the example of Mary.
