November 9th Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran Basilica Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, the oldest and highest ranking of the four major basilicas in Rome. The Basilica of St. John Lateran is the cathedral of the diocese of Rome, the official ecclesiastical seat of the Holy Father, the Bishop of Rome, not St. Peter's Basilica as so many mistakenly believe. The Basilica is also called the Church of Holy Savior or the Church of St. John Baptist. In ancient Rome this was the church where everyone was baptized. It the oldest church in the West, built in the time of Constantine and was consecrated by Pope Sylvester in 324. This feast became a universal celebration in honor of the archbasilica, the ecclesiastical mother church, called "the mother and mistress of all churches of Rome and the world, as a sign of love for and union with the See of Peter. The Temple of Stones is a Symbol of the Living Church Today the liturgy celebrates the dedication of the Lateran Basilica, called mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world. In fact, this basilica was the first to be built after Emperor Constantine s edict, in 313, granted Christians freedom to practice their religion. The emperor himself gave Pope Miltiades the ancient palace of the Laterani family, and the basilica, the baptistery, and the patriarchate, that is, the Bishop of Rome s residence where the Popes lived until the Avignon period were all built there. The basilica s dedication was celebrated by Pope Sylvester around 324 and was named Most Holy Savior; only after the 6th century were the names of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist added, and now is typically denominated by these latter. Initially the observance of this feast was confined to the city of Rome; then, beginning in 1565, it was extended to all the Churches of the Roman rite. The honoring of this sacred edifice was a way of expressing love and veneration for the Roman Church, which, as St. Ignatius of Antioch says, presides in charity over the whole Catholic communion (Letter to the Romans, 1:1). On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an essential truth: the temple of stones is a symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the Apostles Peter and Paul already understood as a spiritual edifice, built by God with living stones, namely, Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus Christ, who is called the cornerstone. Brothers, you are God s building, St. Paul wrote, and added: holy is God s temple, which you are. The beauty and harmony of the churches, destined to give praise to God, also draws us human beings, limited and sinful, to convert to form a cosmos, a wellordered structure, in intimate communion with Jesus, who is the true Saint of saints. This happens in a culminating way in the Eucharistic liturgy, in which the ecclesia, that is, the community of the baptized, come together in a unified way to listen to the Word of God and nourish themselves with the Body and Blood of Christ. From these two tables the Church of living stones is built up in truth and charity and is internally formed by the Holy Spirit transforming herself into what she receives, conforming herself more and more to the Lord Jesus Christ. She herself, if she lives in sincere and fraternal unity, in this way becomes the spiritual sacrifice pleasing to God. 10 Listopada Patron dnia: św. Leon Wielki W roku 1754 Benedykt XIV ogłosił go doktorem Kościoła. Jest patronem muzyków i śpiewaków. Patronem dnia (10 listopada) jest św. Leon Wielki, papież i doktor Kościoła. Leon urodził się ok. 400 r. w Toskanii. Papież Celestyn I mianował go archidiakonem. Od młodości wyróżniał się tak wielką erudycją i zdolnościami dyplomatycznymi, że nawet jako zwykły akolita wysyłany był przez papieża do ważnych misji. Kiedy przebywał jako legat w Galii w roku 440, został obrany papieżem po śmierci Sykstusa III. Jego pontyfikat przypadł na czasy licznych sporów teologicznych i zamieszania pośród hierarchii kościelnej. Poprzez swoich legatów brał udział w soborze w Chalcedonie w roku 451. - Sobór przyjął wiarę w jednego Chrystusa w dwu naturach, obu niezmiennych i nieprzemieszczalnych, ale także nierozdwojonych i nierozdzielnych. Obie natury razem tworzyły jedną osobę. Za czasów św. Leona Wielkiego powstały pierwsze redakcje zbiorów oficjalnych modlitw liturgicznych w języku łacińskim. Papież był obrońcą kultury zachodniej. Jako pierwszy papież otrzymał przydomek Wielki. Żył 70 lat, zmarł 10 listopada 461 r. w Rzymie. Został pochowany w portyku bazyliki św. Piotra. Zachowało się po nim 200 listów i 100 mów wygłoszonych do Rzymian podczas różnych świąt. W roku 1754 Benedykt XIV ogłosił go doktorem Kościoła. Jest patronem muzyków i śpiewaków. W ikonografii św. Leon Wielki przedstawiany jest w szatach papieskich i w tiarze, czasami w szatach liturgicznych rytu wschodniego lub jako papież piszący. Jego atrybutami są: księga, kielich oraz orszak z półksiężycem, któremu zastępuje drogę.
WSPOMNIENIE WSZYSTKICH WIERNYCH ZMARŁYCH 2 LISTOPADA Kościół wspomina w liturgii wszystkich wierzących w Chrystusa, którzy odeszli już z tego świata, a teraz przebywają w czyśćcu. Przekonanie o istnieniu czyśćca jest jednym z dogmatów naszej wiary. Obchód Dnia Zadusznego zainicjował w 998 r. św. Odilon (+1048). Praktykę tę początkowo przyjęły klasztory benedyktyńskie, ale wkrótce za ich przykładem poszły także inne zakony i diecezje. W XIII w. święto rozpowszechniło się na cały Kościół. W wieku XIV zaczęto urządzać procesję na cmentarz do czterech stacji. Od południa dnia Wszystkich Świętych i przez cały Dzień Zaduszny w kościołach i kaplicach publicznych można uzyskać odpust zupełny za zmarłych, ale tylko jeden raz. Warunki zyskania odpustu są następujące: 1) pobożne nawiedzenie kościoła lub kaplicy, 2) odmówienie "Ojcze nasz" i "Wierzę w Boga" 3) dowolna modlitwa w intencjach Ojca Świętego 4) bycie w stanie łaski uświecającej i Komunia Św. W dniach 1-8 listopada można także pozyskać odpust zupełny za nawiedzenie cmentarza pod wyżej wymienionymi warunkami. Włoski Obiad-PASTA W niedzielę 11 listopada 2018, o godzinie 1:30 w Sali Parafialnej - na wspaniałą włoską paste (makaron) zapraszają włoscy parafianie Cena $ 35 PASTA ITALIANA DOMENICA 11 NOVEMBRE ALLE ORE 1:30 pm Salone Parocchiale Prezzo $ 35 MESE di NOVEMBRE dedicato alle ANIME dei DEFUNTI NOVENA per le ANIME del PURGATORIO Da recitare ogni giorno della novena: 1) O Gesu Redentore, per il sacri icio che hai fatto di Te stesso sulla croce e che rinnovi quotidianamente sui nostri altari, per tutte le Sante Messe che si sono celebrate e che si celebreranno in tutto il mondo, esaudisci la nostra preghiera in questa novena, donando alle anime dei nostri morti l'eterno riposo, facendo risplendere su di loro un raggio della tua divina bellezza! 2) O Gesu Redentore, per i grandi meriti degli Apostoli, dei martiri, dei confessori, delle vergini e di tutti i Santi del Paradiso, sciogli dalle loro pene le anime dei nostri defunti che gemono nel Purgatorio, come sciogliesti la Maddalena ed il ladro pentito. Perdona i loro falli e schiudi ad esse le porte della tua celeste Reggia che tanto desiderano. 3) O Gesu Redentore, per i grandi meriti di San Giuseppe e per quelli di Maria, Madre dei sofferenti e degli af litti, fa' scendere la tua in inita misericordia sulle povere anime abbandonate del Purgatorio. Sono anch'esse prezzo del tuo Sangue e opera delle tue mani. Dona loro un completo perdono e conducile nelle amenita della tua gloria che da tanto sospirano. 4) O Gesu Redentore, per i molteplici dolori della tua agonia, passione e morte, abbi pieta di tutti i nostri poveri morti che piangono e gemono nel Purgatorio. Applica loro il frutto di tante tue pene e conducili al possesso di quella gloria che in Cielo hai loro preparata.
