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.

Preparing for the hour of death

The Catholic Church “encourages us to prepare our-selves for the hour of our death,” (Catechism 1014),

and provides ministry to the dying. The primary sacra-ment is anointing of the sick—and the importance of receiving confession is encouraged. The grace they receive through those sacraments and the peace they

get—especially from the forgiveness of sins to prepare themselves for eternity—and from reception of Com-munion, is a great gift. So, usually, anointing of the sick, confession and holy Communion [called viati-

cum, “food for the journey,” when received for the last time]. These three when received together are called

“the last rites.”

There is an increase of grace, as with every sacrament, and supernatural help from God. The Letter of St.

James (5:14-15) says [paraphrased]: “If there is any-one sick among you, bring them to the elders of the

church—the priests of the church—let them be anoint-ed and prayed over; with that comes health of the body

and forgiveness of sins.” That particular sacrament prepares the soul for judgment and for eternity.

What prayers are typically said for the dying?

The most familiar ones are the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and Act of Contrition. We ask God for grace for the person to strive—as we all should—to make an amendment of life. We ask for forgiveness of sin, to cooperate with God’s grace and to live the way God wants us to according to his commandments and our

state of life.

There are also particular prayers in the Roman Ritual set aside by the Church for the dying: to the Virgin

Mary, to St. Joseph the patron for a happy death, and particular psalms to help the person realize the reality

of eternity.

There are special promises related to praying the Di-vine Mercy Chaplet with the dying.

Divine Mercy of Christ that’s one devotion we particu-larly emphasize. Even if the patient doesn’t know [the chaplet] and are not praying it with us, we are praying it for them. As Our Lord told St. Faustina, the promise

of grace and mercy are available even to those who hear it. We also encourage them to foster that devotion

on their own.

La nuova legge sulla protezzione dei minori

La Lettera apostolica del Pontefice, in forma di Motu Proprio, si lega ad un dovere che coinvolge tutta la Chiesa: quello “di accogliere con generosità i minori e le persone vulnerabili e di creare per loro un ambiente sicu-ro, avendo riguardo in modo prioritario ai loro interessi”. Questa responsabilità richiede “una conversione contin-ua e profonda”, in cui “la santità personale e l’impegno morale possano concorrere a promuovere la credibilità dell'annuncio evangelico e a rinnovare la missione edu-cativa della Chiesa”. Con la Lettera apostolica Papa Francesco stabilisce che, per i reati contro minori o per-sone vulnerabili commessi in territorio Vaticano, ab-biano giurisdizione penale i competenti organi giudiziari vaticani. Il Motu Proprio si inserisce in un lungo percorso e arriva dopo l’incontro, incentrato sul tema “La protezione dei minori nella Chiesa” e tenutosi in Vaticano dal 21 al 24 febbraio scorsi. L'obiettivo, indica-to dal Pontefice, è quello di “rafforzare ulteriormente l'assetto istituzionale e normativo per prevenire e con-trastare gli abusi contro i minori e le persone vulnerabi-li” affinché “nella Curia Romana e nello Stato della Città del Vaticano” sia mantenuta “una comunità rispettosa e consapevole dei diritti e dei bisogni dei minori e delle persone vulnerabili, nonché attenta a prevenire ogni for-ma di violenza o abuso fisico o psichico, di abbandono, di negligenza, di maltrattamento o di sfruttamento”. “Maturi in tutti - aggiunge il Papa - la consapevolezza del dovere di segnalare gli abusi alle Autorità competenti e di cooperare con esse nelle attività di prevenzione e contrasto”.

I pubblici ufficiali dello Stato sono obbligati a presentare “senza ritardo, denuncia al promotore di giustizia presso il tribunale dello Stato della Città del Vaticano ogniqual-volta, nell'esercizio delle loro funzioni”, abbiano notizia o fondati motivi di reati contro un minore o una persona vulnerabile. Sono pubblici ufficiali, tra gli altri, i mem-bri, gli officiali e i dipendenti dei vari organismi della Curia Romana e delle Istituzioni ad essa collegate, i legati pontifici ed ogni altra persona titolare di un man-dato amministrativo o giudiziario nella Santa Sede. Quando si procede all’audizione del minore, questi “può essere accompagnato da un suo avvocato, nonché da un maggiorenne di sua fiducia ammesso dall’autorità che procede”. L’audizione di quanti hanno meno di 14 anni “è sempre condotta con l’ausilio di uno psicologo e se-condo modalità adeguate allo scopo”. La deposizione “è documentata anche mediante videoregistrazione, che deve essere acquisita come prova in giudizio”.Il promo-tore di giustizia richiede l’adozione, anche in via provvi-soria, dei provvedimenti necessari a “garantire la sicurezza e l’integrità fisica della persona offesa”, “ad allontanare l’indagato dalla persona offesa o da altri mi-nori”, a “prevenire la reiterazione dei reati”, a “tutelare la persona offesa e la sua famiglia da qualsiasi intimid-azione o ritorsione”.

23 maja - wspomnienie św. Rity

Święta Rita jest patronką spraw trudnych. Pewnie nie brakuje nam w życiu sytuacji, z którymi sobie

nie radzimy. Wtedy najlepiej zwrócić się z modlitwą

do św. Rity!

Święta Rito, Patronko spraw trudnych, Orędow-niczko w sytuacjach beznadziejnych, cudna

gwiazdo świętego Kościoła naszego, zwierciadło cierpliwości, pogromicielko szatanów, lekarko

chorych, pociecho strapionych, wzorze prawdzi-wej świętości, ukochana Oblubienico Chrystusa Pana naznaczona cierniem z korony Ukrzyżowa-nego. Z głębi serca czczę Ciebie i zarazem bła-gam módl się za mną, o uległość woli Bożej we wszystkich przeciwnościach mojego życia. Przy-bądź mi z pomocą, o święta Rito i spraw, abym

doznała skutków Twej opieki, by modlitwy moje u tronu Bożego stały się skuteczne. Wyproś mi

wzmocnienie wiary, nadziei i miłości, szczerego i dziecięcego nabożeństwa do Matki Bożej oraz

łaskę… (wymienić ją). I to spraw, abym zwyciężywszy wszelkie przeszko-dy i pokusy, mogła dojść kiedyś do nieba i tam Ci

dziękować i wiecznie cieszyć się towarzystwem Ojca, Syna i Ducha Świętego. Amen.
