A 2017 Liguori Publications Liguori, MO lessandro Farnese fue elegido Papa Pablo III en 1534 en tiempos muy difíciles. Martín Lutero había abandonado la Iglesia, y muchos obispos alemanes, junto con sus reyes, se separaban de la fe. Parte del impulso para la separación era financiero, otra parte era política, y una tercera parte era espiritual. La corte papal y la vida clerical en Roma fueron a menudo criticadas, fomentando la separación. Ávila, Francisco de Sales, Carlos Borromeo y otros. Otra medida adoptada fue contratar Miguel Ángel pintó dos frescos en la capilla paulina -la conversión de San Pablo y la crucifixión de San Pedro- una especie de campaña de marketing del siglo XVI. Esta capilla enviaría un mensaje a todos los papas ya la corte papal; de hecho, los frescos desafiaban a todos en la Curia. En medio de la tentación del poder y el lujo, el Papa estaba diciendo: Si quieres poder, es el poder de servir lo que requiere verdadera conversión y abrazar la cruz. La capilla necesitaba una frase latina rotunda para llevar a casa este mensaje de reforma. Eso El Papa Pablo III inició una reforma llamando a nueve respetados cardenales para investigar las acusaciones y proponer medidas. Las sugerencias y se inició la verdadera reforma para arraigar-aunque gran parte del éxito se debió al Consejo de Trent (llamado por el Papa en 1545) y los muchos santos activos en el Tiempo: Ignacio, Felipe Neri, Teresa de Viene de la segunda lectura de hoy: Para mí, la vida es Cristo, y la muerte es ganancia. Esa es una buena frase para vivir mientras buscamos nuestra propia conversión en curso.

SHEMITZ Why don t we end the Our Father with an Amen during Mass? When we pray the Our Father outside of Mass, we conclude by saying, Amen. remember this discussion growing up. My father noticed that the pastor I of our parish insisted on saying Amen after the Our Father by adding his very loud Amen! and inviting parishioners to follow. We know early Christians prayed the Our Father daily, though its inclusion in the eucharistic liturgy happens later, and its placement in the liturgy is not yet consistent. An early reference to the placement of the Our Father from a latefourth-century text places it at the end of the eucharistic prayer (A Commentary on the Order of Mass of The Roman Missal, 597). Here the people would have responded with the final petition, deliver us from evil or Amen (597). Today the Our Father is part of the Communion rite, but we do not end the Our Father with an Amen because in the current structure of the Communion rite the Our Father forms part of a unit. Immediately following the Our Father, the celebrant elaborates on the final petition ( deliver us from evil ). He then says the prayer for peace, which concludes with an Amen. These elements are all connected, one flowing to the next and culminating with the people saying, Amen ( Mystagogical Implications, A Commentary on the Order of Mass of The Roman Missal, 616). Thus, we do conclude the Our Father with an Amen at Mass, but because it is part of a larger prayer during the Mass, the Amen doesn t immediately follow deliver us from evil. Fr. John Schmidt, CSsR Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org A Word From Pope Francis Some of you said that this system cannot endure. We must change it. We must put human dignity back at the center and on that pillar build the alternative social structures we need. This must be done with courage but also with intelligence, with tenacity but without fanaticism, with passion yet without violence. And all of us together, addressing the conflicts without getting trapped in them, always seeking to resolve the tensions in order to reach a higher plane of unity, of peace, and of justice. We Christians have something very lovely, a guide to action...the Beatitudes...(see Matthew 5 and Luke 6)...and the Last Judgment passage (Matthew 25).
