A forum to promote and defend the vision of Vatican II Edited by Fr John

頌 恆 神 父
Original
articles have "comments welcome
here" link
DV New
articles 7 days a week to encourage
people trying to follow the example of Pope Francis
in implementing the vision of Vatican II by service of the poor, by a
simple life style, by simple liturgy,
by concern for Ecumenism, by concern for climate change, by concern for
renewal of the Church
- all underpinned by a rededication to the Bible.
Two particular concerns:
The
New Translation"Reform
of the reform" agenda
Why is our
Church so quick to condemn politicians who support policies that effect
sexual matters, such as marriage, yet are practically silent about the
imposition of austerity measures, which hit the poor in our society
disproportionately?
Catholic Herald of May 17 has fascinating article about Fr
Richard Ho Lung - the Mother Teresa of the Caribbean (.."Fr
Richard Ho Lung" in Google shows many articles..)

The
Trinity
The original source of Trinitarian knowledge originated in the
experience of Jesus by his followers and by those who came after
them. They came to understand that the only way God could be
understood was through the humanity of Jesus. His whole life was a
perfect human reflection of who God is and how God continues to act
in human history. Jesus was and is the ultimate disclosure of God,
God who is Trinity.
Whoever
has the Son has Life, the Second Person of the Trinity!
I understand the 'Trinity' in this way, as described by
Jesus, when he says, "I am in the Father, and the Father is in
Me". Jesus also says, "that He will be with us always, and
so he's sending the Spirit". I see a natural flow and mingling
of the Father/Mother, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
The
mission of America
magazine/website in a 21st century church.
The church in the United States must overcome the problem of
factionalism. This begins by re-examining our language. America
will no longer use the terms “liberal,” “conservative” or
“moderate” when referring to our fellow Catholics in an
ecclesiastical context
Reading, Reflection, Prayer for today, May 26 (comments
welcome):
Thanks to Jesus' teaching, and the
grace of the Holy Spirit,
we become aware that our Creator is Three Persons.
Like a baby which gradually becomes aware of a human father, as well
as a human mother,
so we gradually become more aware that our Creator is more than one
Person

Mother
of two talked down terrorists Reader: At least these men did not
tell women to know their place! God loves and blesses every mother
and all nuns who don't care if they are being ignored/despised despite
their contribution for the good of mankind, and work humbly and
silently, and seek peaceful means to resolve violence.

Prayer for today, May 25 (comments

- Poor
Jeremiah, he had to proclaim "priests have no knowledge of God"
- there's something special about a church
- God is only for our group, not for outsiders
- Have we ever been ashamed to stand up for God's values?

Tomorrow,
May 24, please pray for Catholics in China (Many commentators have pointed out that up to
now, Francis has rarely used the words "pope" and
"papacy". Whoever advised him to use "pope" in
this message to China should be banished to a monastery....since that
reference is antagonistic to China's leaders - jw)

Thursday
reflection on the Sunday readings, to help us prepare for Sunday:
Trinity Sunday - a
reflection on the Trinity A few years before his death, Thomas Aquinas stopped
writing theological treaties. When asked for the reason, he is supposed to
have had answered: ‘Some months ago I experienced something of the
Absolute, so all I have ever written about God seems to me now to be like
straw.’ It is my wish that we experience something of that Absolute, who
reveals Himself as “only one God, the Father, from who all things come,
and only one Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and
only one Spirit, the Gift, in all things” (St. Hilary)
The
Charismatic Renewal
- the second
half of this article has lots of historical info that few people have
heard of ....re how Pope Leo XIII tried in vain to get the Church more
interested in the Holy Spirit

But
apart from the month of May, we should take time in the stillness of
prayerto reflect on the
significance of Mary and allow our own favourite image to instill
in us the tranquil peace and, at the same time, challenge, that
Epstein achieved in his Mother and Child
