Praeco salútis cælicæ,

quem nomen ipsum, Spíritu

movénte læta in ómina,

summo dicávit Príncipi.

Te corde tanto dívitem

quod esset orbe látius,

Dei suíque víndicem.

Prudens, benígnus, cándidus,

zeli sed æstu férvidus,

tu veritátis integre

Viríliter per áspera

CORSO DI FORMAZIONE PERMANENTE IN PASTORALE FAMILIARE PER SACERDOTI

Il Pontificio Istituto Giovanni Paolo II per Studi su Matrimonio e Famiglia, in collaborazione con gli Uffici Nazionali della CEI per la Pastorale della Famiglia e per la Pastorale delle Vocazioni, offre un Corso di Formazione Permanente in Pastorale Familiare, pensato specialmente per sacerdoti, religiosi e diaconi.

Seguendo le indicazioni del Papa Francesco, il corso è uno strumento di aiuto capace di attivare la parte più profonda del cuore presbiterale per andare a cercare le pecore affinché le famiglie possano “ricevere attraverso le parole e opere del sacerdote quest’olio di gioia che ci è venuto a portare Gesù” (Omelia della Messa Crismale, Giovedì Santo, 2013).

La chiamata alla nuova evangelizzazione trova nella famiglia la prima delle risorse. Il sacerdote deve saper rispondere a questo invito con una conoscenza rinnovata della verità dell’amore umano, del piano divino sulla famiglia, con una nuova visione pastorale che risponda anche alla dimensione sociale del matrimonio e della famiglia. Si tratta di realtà vive che vanno affrontate teologicamente e confrontate mediante la testimonianza vissuta delle famiglie e una lettura attenta delle realtà culturali. Si tratta, infatti, di aiutare ad integrare ed armonizzare, nell’azione pastorale, il ministero sacerdotale con “l’autentico Vangelo del matrimonio e della famiglia” (CEI, Direttorio di pastorale familiare, 25 luglio 1993, 8).

Il corso intende mettere a fuoco l’intuizione del recente Sinodo sulla nuova evangelizzazione, mostrando il rapporto intrinseco tra famiglia e fede, e vedendo precisamente in questo nesso la forza insita nella famiglia come soggetto dell’evangelizzazione. Nel confronto vitale tra vita familiare e ministero dei sacerdoti si sviluppa una comprensione più ricca della propria specifica vocazione all’amore.

Bl. Hyacinth M. Cormier (1832-1916)

21 May 

A master general of recent times who did much to restore the primitive fervor of the Order was Father Hyacinth M. Cormier. Henry Cormier was born in Orleans on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1832. All his life he treasured the thought that he had been born on Our Lady's day, and therefore he should be especially devoted to her. His father died while he was still a small child, so Henry and his only brother, Eugene, went with their mother to live near his uncle, who was a priest in Orleans. The two boys entered the new preparatory seminary at Orleans. The following year Eugene died, leaving Henry alone and grief stricken.

Henry continued his studies for the priesthood at the major seminary of Orleans, and was ordained in 1856. At this time he fulfilled a desire that had been growing on him for some time; he went to Flavigny, where Father Lacordaire had opened a novitiate of the Order, and begged to be admitted. `He was accepted, a little dubiously as he looked so delicate, and given the name Hyacinth.

When it was time for Brother Hyacinth's profession, the doubt had grown into a certainty; he had had several hemorrhages, and the community, which had already lost some of its most promising members from tuberculosis, was afraid to profess him. The master general, Father Jandel, took him to Rome as secretary and asked the pope for a special dispensation to allow him to make profession. The pope responded that if he went for thirty days without a hemorrhage he could make his vows. Young Brother Hyacinth tried hard once he got as far as 29 days and did not quite make it, but he fell seriously ill and was anointed. In the belief that he was going to die in a few days, he was finally allowed to make his profession. But at this point he recovered, and he served the Order vigorously for fifty years.

In 1865 the old Province of Toulouse was to be re established, and Father Cormier was sent as the first provincial to build up the Order there. His ability for administration was so marked that the pope wanted to make him a cardinal; only the hostility of France towards religious kept him from doing so.

When Father Cormier was elected master general in 1904, it became necessary to replace him in some of the work he had been doing so that he could devote more time to affairs of the Order in general. It was then that his brethren found out what a load he had been carrying. Teaching and writing should have kept him busy; but he also was regular confessor to eight large convents and extraordinary confessor to several more. In spite of all the activity, he spent hours of every day in front of the Blessed Sacrament. He had a universal reputation for the soundness of his spiritual direction.

As master general, Father Cormier turned his attention first to the novices. Many of his writings had been for young people, and he always loved the novices on whom the future of the Order depends. As gentle as a child in his manner, but as inflexible as a Gibraltar in a matter of principle, he quietly demonstrated the policies that he wanted followed in the Order. HE FOUNDED THE PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS ("Angelicum), the international house of studies at Rome, and supported other educational projects of the Order.

Father Cormier wrote incessantly, mostly devotional works or instructions for novices. Some of his works have been translated into English, but not by any means all of them. He wrote biographies of many eminent Dominicans, including Blessed Raymond of Capua and Father Jandel. His pen helped to make permanent the work done by Father Lacordaire and his companions in re establishing the Order in France and in the world. Father Cormier died in Rome in 1916 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1995. HIS BODY NOW LIES IN THE CHURCH OF SS. DOMINIC AND SIXTUS AT THE ANGELICUM.

Berrie Fellows gather

On May 13, 2013, the 2012-2013 Russell Berrie Fellows gathered for a reception held in their honor.

Started in 2008, 40 full fellowships have been awarded to highly qualified individuals from around the globe to study at the Angelicum. The aim is for these students to become actively immersed in interfaith dialogue throughout their studies and become leaders in their communities after they graduate.

Most Russell Berrie Fellows study within the Ecumenical section of the Faculty of Theology and the John Paul II Centre for Interreligious Dialogue at the Angelicum. The student body consists of men and women (clergy, religious and lay) from many nations, and includes Latin and Eastern Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Anglicans, Protestants, and occasionally, those from other faiths including Muslims, Jews and Buddhists. The Russell Berrie Fellows are enrolled in one of the four Faculties of the University: Theology, Philosophy, Canon Law or Social Sciences. The fellowship is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE).
