XIII-SYNOD OF BISHOPS

Synod; NEW EVANGELIZATON

 

Popes throughout the Church’s history have called upon the faithful to deepen their understanding of a particular aspect of the faith. 

 

 

This coming year, Pope Benedict XVI is calling Catholics to a renewed conversion to the Catholic Faith, asking each one of us to deepen our relationship with Christ this coming year. 


   


Pope Benedict XVI said the Synod of Bishops this October is “a moment to examine the journey that had been made in terms of spreading Gospel in the modern day and to resume with fresh impetus the urgent work still to be done in evangelizing today’s world.” 

 >>>
It will coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council in 1962 and;
the 20th Anniversary of the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in 1992. 
The Synod will launch the Year of Faith, from October 11, 2012, to November 24, 2013, the Feast of Christ the King.

>>>

 

In addition to the kick-off of the Year of Faith on October 11, the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, the Holy Father is convening a Synod on the New 

Evangelization

  
 Bishops from various countries will gather to discuss the efforts of the New Evangelization in the Catholic Church throughout the world. 

   

  

In the New Evangelization, the faithful are asked to deepen their faith in accordance with the teachings of Christ, believe in the Gospel and spread it, and embark on their own evangelization. The focus is the call on all Catholics “to be evangelized and then go forth to evangelize.”  (The Synod)

To the Youths

Catholic Charismatic Renewal, St. Joseph University in Tanzania is among those who put efforts to the New Evangelization, especially to the Youths!

In collaboration with Inter-Universities Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Tanzania, CCR-SJUIT is accomplishing the Pope's vision to evangelize the youth telling them to come out their bad ways & deeds and turn to Jesus' cool teachings.

 

University Students should remember their faith and live it. That is Renewal. Catholic Church is teaching them every day to live the gospel, yet they do it recklessly. Let’s review our life and live as what the church wants us to. That's New Evangelization.

Come and join the mission and accomplish the Pope's Vision to the church.

The Synod

This Synod of Bishops is the XIII (13th) ordinary General Assembly. It was opened on 07, October 2012 and will get to the end on 28, October 2012.

The Synod of Bishops, an advisory body of the Pope, was established by Pope Paul VI on September 15, 1965, “to foster the unity and cooperation of bishops around the world with the Holy See, and to keep the desires of the Second Vatican Council to keep the positive spirit engendered by the conciliar experience.” It is a group of bishops chosen from various regions of the world who meet to assist the Roman Pontiff with their counsel on the preservation and growth of faith and morals.

The Heading for the meeting is 

THE NEW EVANGELIZATION FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.

FR. MUSAALA IN MBEZI LOIS

Fr. Antony Musaala have been participating in the seminar on Praising and Worshiping at EMAUS CENTER UBUNGO and as the seminar has ended father was invited at the parish to celebrate the Holy mass.

Fr. Anthony Musaala at Mbezi Lois, DSM.

Addressing the Mbezi Lois congregation on Sunday the 7th October, Fr Musaala elaborated the marriage issue by comparing the marriage with the delicious food.

He said, "a delicious dish needs time to be prepared. If a woman want to make a delicious dish then she must prepare all the ingredients and the spices very well." 



This will take time so for any delicious meal we must take time to prepare and so do the marriage for a delicious and a taste marriage we need to use long time and not just grabbing partners from street and get married. We need to take time to get to know one another before engagement.

Fr. Musaala also called on youth to invite God in their relationship from the beginning by engaging themselves in prayers and they should stop waiting for the day of the wedding itself because whatever starts with God will always be with God and end up with God.

He also called married men to respect the rights of women and to respect women. Stop cheating and abusing them and that they should love them and take care of them.

He also called on married women to respect men and not to take advantage of their rights to mistreat men. He emphasized that marriage is once in life time and it should remain that way  while people should not try to change it.

Concluding Fr. Musaala called upon the congregation to pray for the problems they have in their marriages and he insisted that only prayers will help people in their marriage life. Marriage was meant to bring happiness and not fighting or quarrels. Let practice and live happiness and true love in our marriages. Let's bring up our children in a good way as God wants them up too.

Engineer with Crown of Roses

  What Rosary? Why Rosary? How Rosary?

These are normal questions to any engineer across the world, what is it, why is it and how is it then? Lets see this phenomenon through which in October we offer a prayer for seeking intercession from our beloved Mother Mary.

The word Rosary means 

"Crown of Roses" and each prayer in the rosary is considered a flower presented to Mary. It is a humble, a practical and a powerful means of contemplation, and a great source of blessing for those who pray and for the whole world.

  It is called the “Breviary of the common people” and the “Psalms of the illiterate.” The prayers we repeat are biblical and hence “inspired” and the mysteries we meditate upon are taken from the lives of Jesus and Mary.  As we are saying the Rosary, we are, in fact, in contact with two of the most basic prayers in our Christian tradition: the Lord’s Prayer (the Our Father) and the Angelic Salutation (the Hail Mary).  The first is fully rooted in the Scriptures, taught by Jesus Himself. The second is largely rooted in the Scriptures, its first half echoing the words of the Archangel Gabriel and of Elizabeth as each addressed Mary.  The third prayer — the “Glory be to the Father” — ancient in its wording — surely reflects the unceasing prayer of adoration and praise found in the Book of Revelation.

  The rosary is "a compendium of the life of Jesus and Mary and a summary of the liturgical year." The various events in the lives of Jesus and Mary which we meditate during the rosary are expressions of the one basic and foundational mystery of the Christian faith: the Paschal Mystery, that is, the death and resurrection of Jesus which Mary shared. 

Hence by praying the Rosary, we come to live out the Paschal Mystery in our lives, thereby being authentic disciples of Jesus, people who really follow in His footsteps, dying with Him so as to rise with Him.  Hence we as modern-day Catholic Christians need to pray the Rosary and live the Rosary.

 For Pope Pius VII the rosary is “an antidote against the evils of the day.”  “It is the sure means of God’s blessings to families” (Pius XII).  “Recite rosary devoutly, you will have peace in your families” (Pius X).  Pope John Paul II describes the rosary as “looking into the mysteries of Christ’s life through the eyes of Mary.” The famous proponent of the rosary, Fr. Peyton, challenges us: “set apart ten minutes for rosary at home, you will make your home a heaven of peace.” 

Yes. The Rosary brings Peace, Happiness, Contentment and all the Spiritual Blessings. It is a powerful weapon against the snares of the devil. It is a protection ensuring garland and a grace flowing fountain. We could receive anything through Mary by reciting the Rosary meaningfully. Rosary is a powerful gift of God the Father to the humankind to fight against the devil. It is powerful, graceful and divine as God the Father Himself was pleased with Mary and greeted her ‘Hail Mary’. It is the true Word of God, which is powerful, active and sharp. When we are faithful to our Mother, she will never abandon us. 

How to pray the Rosary? 

 

The ideal is to recite the rosary by the whole family daily, at least five decades and if possible, the entire fifteen.  We need to say the Rosary slowly enough to make its recitation devout and reverent.  Reflect for a minute or two on the mystery and then concentrate on the meaning of the prayers as we say them to avoid distractions. Besides saying the rosary with others in the family before bed time, let us make it a habit of reciting the rosary during our journey to the work place and during our exercises.  If we do so, we shall experience for ourselves the truth of these words: "meditating on the mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may we imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise."  Amen.

 Welcome today dear ENGINEERS and lets pray together the holy Rosary at St. Joseph University in Tanzania every Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday at 16:00 HRS.
