The purpose of the Salvatorian is to strengthen, to defend and to spread the Catholic faith everywhere insofar as this is committed to it by Divine Providence. Therefore, by exercising this ecclesiastical teaching function in word and writing, it intends to achieve the end that all people might know more and more the one true God and Him whom He sent, Jesus Christ.

January 22 Day of Prayer for the Legal

Protection of Un-born Children

We have great trust in God’s providence. We are reminded time and again in Scripture to seek the Lord’s help, and as people of faith, we believe that our pray-ers are heard. As individuals, we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and/or giving alms.

The Love of Life Love is not merely a feeling, but is rather the desire for the best possible good for those whom we love. Through our natural intelligence and through Divine Revelation we become aware of the value of this most basic of all gifts which is life. Mere reason leads us to comprehend that it is better to be alive than never have had been in existence. This love is what moves us to protect the life of the unborn or any who might be unjustly treated. We are also led to protect women that might feel tempted or forced to commit abortion, as we know the devastating con-sequences that abortion will have in their lives. Last but not least we have to love, even if most of them seem to be utterly unlovable, the many perpetrators of abortion: medical personnel, and pro-abortion ac-tivists and politicians. We have to do everything that we can to convince them of their errors so that they repent and change their ways, both for their own benefit and for the benefit of society.

22 Gennaio - Giornata per la vita (Stati Uniti)

(in Italia - 3 Febbraio) Costruiamo oggi, una solidale “alleanza tra le genera-zioni”, come ci ricorda con insistenza Papa Frances-co. Così si consolida la certezza per il domani dei nostri figli e si spalanca l’orizzonte del dono di sé, che riempie di senso l’esistenza. “Il cristiano guarda alla realtà futura, quella di Dio, per vivere pienamen-te la vita ‒ con i piedi ben piantati sulla terra ‒ e rispondere, con coraggio, alle innumerevoli sfide”, antiche e nuove. La mancanza di un lavoro stabile e dignitoso spegne nei più giovani l’anelito al futuro e aggrava il calo demografico, dovuto anche ad una mentalità antinatalista che, “non solo determina una situazione in cui l’avvicendarsi delle generazioni non è più assicurato, ma rischia di condurre nel tempo a un impoverimento economico e a una perdita di speranza nell’avvenire”. Si rende sempre più neces-sario un patto per la natalità, che coinvolga tutte le forze culturali e politiche e, oltre ogni sterile contrap-posizione, riconosca la famiglia come grembo gener-ativo dei nostri Paesi. Per aprire il futuro siamo chiamati all’accoglienza della vita prima e dopo la nascita, in ogni con-dizione e circostanza in cui essa è debole, minac-ciata e bisognosa dell’essenziale. Nello stesso tem-po ci è chiesta la cura di chi soffre per la malattia, per la violenza subita o per l’emarginazione, con il rispetto dovuto a ogni essere umano quando si presenta fragile. Non vanno poi dimenticati i ris-chi causati dall’indifferenza, dagli attentati all’in-tegrità e alla salute della “casa comune”, che è il nostro pianeta. La vera ecologia è sempre inte-grale e custodisce la vita sin dai primi istanti. La vita fragile si genera in un abbraccio: “La difesa dell’innocente che non è nato deve essere chiara, fer-ma e appassionata, perché lì è in gioco la dignità del-la vita umana, sempre sacra, e lo esige l’amore per ogni persona al di là del suo sviluppo”. Alla “piaga dell’aborto” – che “non è un male minore, è un crimine” – si aggiunge il dolore per le donne, gli uomini e i bambini la cui vita, bisognosa di trovare rifugio in una terra sicura, incontra tentativi crescenti di “respingere profughi e migranti verso luoghi dove li aspettano persecuzioni e violenze” . Incoraggiamo quindi la comunità cristiana e la società civile ad ac-cogliere, custodire e promuovere la vita umana dal concepimento al suo naturale termine. Il futuro inizia oggi: è un investimento nel presente, con la certezza che “la vita è sempre un bene”, per noi e per i nostri figli. Per tutti. È un bene desiderabile e conseguibile.

21 stycznia wspominamy w

kalendarzu liturgicznym wielką świętą –

świętą Agnieszkę Urodziła się w zamożnej rodzinie rzymskiej ok. 291 r.. Było to za czasów panowania Dioklecjana. Jej mama – chrześcijanka (ojciec był poganinem) zadbała o chrześcijańskie wychowanie. Pisze się o niej, że była dziewczyną równie pobożną, co piękną. Swoje życie, już w Jej piękność zauważało wielu bogatych młodzieńców, pragnących ją poślubić. Wśród nich był Phocus, syn prefekta miasta – Semproniusza, prawdopodobnie naj-potężniejszego wówczas człowieka w Rzymie. Obdarowy-wał młodą Rzymiankę kosztownymi prezentami, licząc, że w ten sposób zaskarbi sobie jej wdzięczność. Ona jednak, mimo wielu prób Phocusa, pozostała wierna Chrystusowi w swoim dziewictwie i pragnieniu ofiarowania swego ży-cia tylko Jemu. Nieodwzajemniona miłość Phocusa zmieniła się w nienawiść. Zadenuncjował ją jako chrześci-jankę swojemu ojcu Semproniuszowi. Ten, choć był poga-ninem, nie chciał zrobić jej krzywdy (przyznanie się do chrześcijaństwa oznaczało wówczas wyrok śmierci). Widząc jednak jej upór, musiał ją oddać pod sąd. Prawo rzymskie nie pozwalało skazywać na śmierć dziewic. Zos-tała obnażona (jej części intymne przykryto włosami) i prowadzona ulicą znaną ze złych obyczajów. Nic złego się jej jednak nie stało w drodze, a w domu publicznym strzegł jej anioł przed mężczyznami, którzy próbowali źle się z nią obchodzić. Kiedy jeden z nich usiłował odebrać jej dziewictwo, został porażony ślepotą i sparaliżowany. Ostatecznie została jednak skazana na śmierć jako cza-rownica, która sprowadziła ślepotę na tego młodzieńca. Kiedy znalazła się na stosie na stadionie Domicjana (dzisiaj Piazza Navona), drewno nie chciało się zapalić. Podcięto jej więc gardło mieczem. Jej doczesne szczątki złożono w grobie niedaleko miejsca, w którym została stracona. Tuż obok wzniesiono kościół ku jej czci. Później, za czasów panowania Konstantyna Wielkiego wzniesiono tam bazylikę pod jej wezwaniem. Było to wotum cesarza za odzyskanie zdrowia jego córki przez wstawiennictwo św. Agnieszki. Co więcej, sama córka powołała do życia żeński klasztor. Do dzisiaj zachowała się nie tylko ta bazylika, ale również mar-murowa płyta, przedstawiająca świętą dziewicę męczen-nicę w tunice. Święta Agnieszka jest patronką dzieci, panien, zaręczonych i dziewic. Ma być wzorem czystości i wsta-wiać się dla nich u Boga o łaskę czystości. Agnieszkę obrali też za patronkę harcerze, starający się żyć szczytny-mi ideałami wierności Bogu i Ojczyźnie. Jest też orędowniczką u Boga dla ogrodników.
