“Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. …”

Traduzione in lingua inglese

On 11 January 2019, the Congresso of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, at the conclusion of a penal process, issued a decree finding Theodore Edgar McCarrick, archbishop emeritus of Washington, D.C., guilty of the following delicts while a cleric: solicitation in the Sacrament of Confession, and sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and with adults, with the aggravating factor of the abuse of power. The Congresso imposed on him the penalty of dismissal from the clerical state. On 13 February 2019, the Ordinary Session (Feria IV) of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith considered the recourse he presented against this decision. Having examined the arguments in the recourse, the Ordinary Session confirmed the decree of the Congresso. This decision was notified to Theodore McCarrick on 15 February 2019. The Holy Father has recognized the definitive nature of this decision made in accord with law, rendering it a res iudicata (i.e., admitting of no further recourse).

“In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat, Jesus summoned the disciples and said,
‘My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.’ … taking the seven loaves He gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to His Disciples to distribute … They also had a few fish. He said the Blessing over them and ordered them distributed also. They ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over – seven baskets. There were about four thousand people. …”

“… Then He looked up to heaven and groaned. ‘Ephphatha!’ Jesus said. So goes the account of the healing of the deaf man near the Sea of Galilee, as told in Mark. The word is one of a handful of words in Aramaic—believed to be the vernacular language of Jesus—that survived into the Greek New Testament. We don’t have to find an Aramaic dictionary to discover the meaning of this word. Mark readily supplies a definition: Be opened! Immediately, then, we are told that the man’s ears were ‘opened’ and that he was able to speak. …”

“… He put His Finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then He looked up to Heaven and groaned, and said to him, ‘Ephphatha!’ (that is, ‘Be opened!’) And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. … They were exceedingly astonished and they said, ‘He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.'”

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “The Catholic Roots of Saint Valentine’s Day” – Franciscan Media

Headlines
Cross Atop Rocky Cliff

“Although the mid-February holiday celebrating love and lovers remains wildly popular, the confusion over its origins led the Catholic Church, in 1969, to drop Saint Valentine’s Day from the Roman calendar of official, worldwide Catholic feasts. (Those highly sought-after days are reserved for saints with more clear historical record. After all, the saints are real individuals for us to imitate.) Some parishes, however, observe the feast of Saint Valentine. …”
