St. Andr Bessette's Life and Work Currently Spotlighted Toronto, January 09, 2015 (Zenit.org) | 181 hits
To celebrate theYear of Consecrated Life, the Web site of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) will be posting short outlines of the lives and spirituality of a number of Canadian Saints and Blesseds during 2015.
The Year of Consecrated Life, from the end of November 2014 to the beginning of February 2016, invites the Church to celebrate the gifts and charisms of the consecrated life religious institutes, societies of apostolic life, and secular institutes, together with consecrated virgins.
Most Canadian Saints and Blesseds were members of religious communities, and one (Saint Kateri Tekakwitha), although not a member of a religious community, consecrated her life as a virgin.
The site observes: "Their lives are a wonderful testimony to how those in the consecrated life have generously and heroically served the Church in Canada and all our society. They are witnesses in our midst of how the example and teachings of Jesus continue to challenge each of us today. Moreover, they inspire us to evangelize our contemporary world, since we too as the baptized share in Our Lord's mission to announce in word and deed that 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news' (Mark 1.15)."
SaintAndr Bessette
The Church in Canada celebrated the life and witness of Saint Brother Andr Bessette on Jan. 7, his feastday. He was a lay man who was a member of the Congregation of the Holy Cross.
The principal text outlining his life and spirituality which has been posted on the CCCB Website is a translation from the liturgical fascicules issued by the French Sector Commission for Liturgy and the Sacraments for each Canadian Saint and Blessed.
The text notes: "His close contact with suffering gave him insight into human nature. On his deathbed he whispered to a member of his community, 'God is good! How beautiful and powerful he is! He must be beautiful, because the human soul, which is a reflection of Gods beauty, is so beautiful!'"
Printed copies of the complete fascicule in French are on sale fromCCCB Publications.

POWERFUL Affirmations for unlocking Intuition, Spirituality, Third Eye & Wisdom - Video

SARASOTA - Hindu gods, Jesus statues and Buddha icons sit alongside fairies and Pagan goddesses on the shelves of Pixie Dust Metaphysical Boutique in downtown Sarasota.
Johnna White opened the shop in November 2012 in hopes of creating an uplifting and calming space for people to find their inner peace.
We really have something for everyone, White said. Spirituality tends to be a way to inner peace. Pixie Dust is a way to find that path.
Her shop offers spiritual guidance through intuitive and psychic readings, relaxation therapy, aura cleansings and past life regressions.
I've made Pixie Dust to be a different type of place," White said. I consider it a place of love for everyone of all different types of spirituality.
Spirituality came to White naturally. She grew up the daughter of a dowser, or water witch, in rural Kansas where a lack of city plumbing made her community dependent on wells. When somebody needed a well, her father would search for water using a willow branch that would pull toward the ground where water was present.
Watching that, you start wondering a lot about the end scene, White said. I just became fascinated with all those things you can't explain.
White started playing with a pendulum and trying to read a crystal ball when she was a kid. Since then she's become a Master in Reiki, or energy work, and is also a certified hypnotist, ordained minister and rune and tarot card reader. She also studied wiccan witchcraft and psychic reading in Salem, Mass.
It gave me a lot of different perspectives, White said.

Vatican City
Courses in yoga, Zen meditation, even extensive studies in church teaching and spirituality can never free people enough to open their hearts to God and his love, Pope Francis said in a morning homily.
Only the Holy Spirit can "move the heart" and make it "docile to the Lord, docile to the freedom of love," the pope said Friday at Mass in the Domus Sanctae Marthae.
The pope looked at how Jesus' disciples could fail to recognize and be open to the Lord's miracles, like his walking on water, the multiplication of the loaves and encountering him on the road to Emmaus.
"They were the apostles, those closest to Jesus. But they didn't understand," he said, according to the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
"It was because their hearts had been hardened," he said.
"But how does a heart harden? How is it possible with these people who were always with Jesus, every day, who listened to him, saw him ... and their heart was hardened."
The pope said he had asked his secretary why he thought people's hearts become so closed and cold. Together they came up with a number of reasons that often affect many people in life, he said.
Painful and difficult experiences can cause people to harden their hearts because they do not want to be vulnerable to "another ordeal" or be disillusioned once again, the pope said.
He said the saying in Argentina, "If a person gets burned by milk, then he will cry when he sees a cow," expresses this idea of becoming fearful after a painful experience.
Excerpt from:
Catechism, yoga, Zen cannot open people's hearts to God, pope says
You can take a thousand courses in catechism, spirituality, yoga or Zen - but only the Holy Spirit has the power to open our hearts to the love of God, Pope Francis said this morning during Mass at Casa Santa Marta.
The Popes reflections came from the day's Gospel reading that recounted how the apostles were terrified when they saw Jesus walking on water. And the reason for their terror, he explained, was that their hearts were hardened.
Pope Francis said a persons heart can be made of stone for many reasons, such as, for example, a painful experience in ones life. But as he went on to point out, another reason for hardened hearts is because people are closed in on themselves.
Creating a world within oneself, all closed in. Closed within oneself, in ones community or parish, but always closed in. And this closure can revolve around so many things. But lets think about pride, self-sufficiency, thinking I am better than others, and vanity too, right? There are mirror-men and women (who are wedded to their own image in the mirror), who are closed in on themselves and are constantly looking at themselves, right? These religious narcissists, right? But they have a hardened heart because they are closed in on themselves, they are not open. And they seek to defend themselves with these walls that they have created around themselves.
The Pope said these hardened hearts in people can also arise from a problem of insecurity, such as those who barricade themselves behind the laws and rules, as though inside a prison, to feel safer and follow these rules to the letter,
When a heart becomes hardened, its not free and if its not free its because that person isn't capable of love, that was the fate of the Apostle John in the first Reading. A love thats perfect banishes fear: in love theres no fear, because fear is expecting a punishment and a person who's afraid doesnt have a perfect love. He or she is not free. They are constantly afraid that something painful or sad will occur, that will cause their life to go badly or will endanger their eternal salvation What an (over-active) imagination, because he or she cant love. A person who isn't capable of loving is not free. And their heart was hardened because they hadnt learnt how to love.
Pope Francis concluded his homily by stressing that only the Holy Spirit can teach us how to love and free us from our hardened hearts.
You can follow a thousand catechism courses, a thousand spirituality courses, a thousand yoga or zen courses and all these things. But none of this will be able to give you the freedom as a child (of God). Only the Holy Spirit can prompt your heart to say Father. Only the Holy Spirit is capable of banishing, of breaking that hardness of heart and making it soft? No, I dont like that word, docile. Docile towards the Lord. Docile when it comes to the freedom to love.

Turn to a life of humility and spirituality.
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle relayed this message to devotees of the Black Nazarene during the liturgical rites at the Quirino Grandstand before dawn Friday.
Devotees flocked to the Quirino Grandstand Thursday for the Pahalik and vigil, which precede the Traslacion where they accompay the image of their patron back to Quiapo Church.
For this year, the Traslacion will follow a route from Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo Church, with a slight detour around Escolta due to a fire that hit a building there Wednesday.
Container vans were also placed at Escolta Street, where a predawn fire razed a building that used to house the City College of Manila on Wednesday.

Cardinal Tagle pitches humility, spirituality to Nazarene devotees
The quest for health is universal -- everyone wants it. And current research shows that spirituality plays an important role in establishing true health.
Health is much more than a material body that is free from disease. The World Health Organization defines it as complete physical, mental and social wellbeing.
Im learning that this complete wellbeing is the absolute consciousness of harmony, and of nothing else as explained by spiritual healer Mary Baker Eddy. It is a state of thought, a consciousness of harmony that stems from an awareness of Gods loving presence. And the power of that presence to maintain harmony.
It is the spiritual practice of stillness and prayer that enables me to become conscious of harmony, conscious that all is indeed well in the divine presence. Then physical or mental discord has no room in my thought. This helped me find instantaneous and permanent relief from severe back pain years ago. It continues to help me stay healthy.
Spirituality is indeed good for health thats been my experience.

Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle gives his homily at the midnight Mass during the start of feast and traslacion of Black Nazarene at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila. EDWIN BACASMAS/INQUIRER
MANILA, PhilippinesManila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle on Friday urged the devotees of the Black Nazarene to turn to a life of humility and spirituality.
Look up to God, look back and bow down to Him. Lets make it a pattern of life of spirituality, Tagle said in his homily during the midnight Mass for the feast of Black Nazarene at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
A true devotee is one who look up, look back and bow down to God, knowing fully well that without Him, he is nothing, he added.
According to Tagle, looking up, looking back and bowing down to God are simple ways by which devotees could deepen their devotion to the highly revered black image of Christ that is believed to be miraculous.
Those who will look up to God will have an everlasting life, thats the promise of the Gospel. The most beautiful way to look up is to look at God, Tagle said in the vernacular.
We look back to God who is the source of all our blessings. That is why many devotees are here year after year, rain or shine, barefoot, some are even in wheelchairs. They never forget, they look back to the giver of blessings and good experiences, he added.
To bow down to God is a sign of humility, Tagle said.
We are all sinners and to bow down to God is an admission of our sins. Its like saying we cannot brag or boast about anything, except the fact that we need Him, thats all, he said.
And to bow down is like imitating Jesus, who, despite being the son of God, humbled himself and became man to be with us. He carried our cross and died. That was his way of showing humility, all just because he loves us and he wanted to save us, the cardinal said.

A little spirituality can go a long way, and it could lead you and your date to the Springville Museum of Art for its 29th Annual Spiritual and Religious Art Exhibition.
Strolling through the Springville museum is like taking the scenic route on your way to dinner or before taking in some entertainment. This art exhibition could certainly set the tone for the rest of your evening.
Whether it's a fledgling courtship or a long-term partnership, experiencing the works housed in Utah's oldest art museum will mark you as a "keeper." Then there's always the ol' work-of-art comparison you can flatter your date with as you soak in the sights.
-- "Oh, that one is beautiful."
-- "Not as beautiful as your eyes."
When you go to an art museum, there are tons of opportunities to lay on the charm.
Here's something you won't see every day: a floor-to-ceiling replica of the Salt Lake City LDS Temple made out of stacked glass Coke bottles. Is there any question where you should start your date this week?
This free Perfect Date is available through Jan. 18 at the museum, which is located at126 E. 400 South in Springville. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday. For more information, call(801) 489-2727 or visitsmofa.org.
