பங்குதந்தையர்களின் பாதுகாவலர், 1929 (Patron von Pfarrer)



மரிய வியான்னி தன்னுடைய மறைபரப்பு பணியில் பலவிதமான இடர்பாடுகளை சந்தித்தார். பெல்லேய் (Bellei) என்ற மறைமாவட்டத்தில் இருந்த ஆர்ஸ்(Ars) என்ற கிராமத்தில் பல ஆண்டுகள் மறைப்பணியை ஆற்றினார். தன்னிடம் ஒப்படைக்கப்பட்ட மக்களை, தன்னுடைய எளிய மறையுரையினாலும், செபத்தாலும் ஈர்த்தார். பாவிகள் மனந்திரும்ப இடைவிடாமல் செபித்தார். உலகின் பல பகுதிகளிலிருந்தும் இறையடியார்கள் இவரின் மறையுரையைக் கேட்கவும், பாவமன்னிப்பு பெறவும் வந்து குவிந்தனர். பங்குத்தந்தையர்கள் அனைவரும் புனிதர்களாக வாழ வேண்டுமென்பதில் இவர் அக்கறை காட்டி வந்தார். இவர் ஞானத்திலும், அறிவிலும் சிறந்து விளங்கினார். 


இவர் சிறு வயதிலேயே குருப்பட்டம் பெற்றார். கடுந்தவம், செபம், அயராத உழைப்பு இவைகளில் மிகவும் நம்பிக்கை வைத்திருந்தார். இதனால் தன் பங்குமக்களிடையே நிலவிய அநீதிகளை எளிதாக நீக்கினார். அம்மக்களுக்காக இடைவிடாமல் இறைவேண்டல் செய்தார். திருப்பலி முடிந்தவுடன், ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் பல மணிநேரம் பாவமன்னிப்பு தொட்டியில் அமர்ந்து, பாவமன்னிப்பு வழங்குவார். தனது ஓய்வு நேரத்திற்கென்று வெகு குறைந்த நேரமே ஒதுக்கினார். பல கட்டிடங்களையும், ஆலயங்களையும் கட்டி எழுப்புவதைவிட, ஆன்மாக்களின் இதயங்களை கட்டி எழுப்புங்கள். அப்போது விண்ணுலகில் இடம் கிடைக்கும் என்று இப்புனிதர் அடிக்கடி கூறிவந்தார்

Profile

Born to a farm family. In his youth John taught other children their prayers and catechism. Ordained in 1815, though it took several years of study - he had little education, was not a very good student, and his Latin was terrible. Assigned as a parochial vicar to Ecully, France. In 1818 he was assigned to the parish of Ars-sur-Formans, France, a tiny village near Lyons, which suffered from very lax attendance. He began visiting his parishioners, especially the sick and poor, spent days in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, did penance for his parishioners, and leading his people by example. Had the gifts of discernment of spirits, prophecy, hidden knowledge, and of working miracles. Tormented by evil spirits, especially when he tried to get his 2-3 hours of sleep each night. Crowds came to hear him preach, and to make their reconciliation because of his reputation with penitents; by 1855 there were 20,000 pilgrims a year to Ars. Spent 40 years as the parish priest.

Blessed Enrico Angelo Angelelli Carletti


Profile

Son of Italian immigrants. He entered the seminary of Our Lady of Loreto at age 15, studied in Rome, Italy, and then was ordained a priest on 9 October 1949 at Rome for the diocese of Córdoba, Argentina. He served as a parish priest in Córdoba, founded youth groups, and ministering to the poor in their own neighborhoods.



Chosen Auxiliary Bishop of Córdoba and Titular Bishop of Lystra by Pope John XXIII on 12 December 1960. He became involved in renewal of the faith and parish life, and in labor union conflicts; this led to his arrest. Part in the first, third, and fourth sessions of the Second Vatican Council in 1962, 1964, and 1965. In 1965, to get him away from conflict with the civil authorities, he was relieved of part of his duties and exiled to serve as chaplain to a convent of Adoratrices at the Colegio Villa Eucharistica.


Chosen bishop of La Rioja, Argentina on 3 July 1968 by Pope Paul VI. There he encouraged the working classes to unionize, form co-operatives, farm idle lands, and generally join together to improve their lot, even against the prerogatives of the ruling class.


On 13 June 1973 Bishop Enrico was forced to abandon a church and flee when a mob broke in during services and began to stone him in retaliation for his work. He declared an interdict against the leaders and their supporters; he received the full support of his priests, but not his national conference of bishops, and the papal nuncio openly sided with those under interdict. Angelelli knew he was being targeted for assassination by the military for his opposition to the government, and he was right. On 4 August 1976 while driving a truck home with Father Arturo Pinto, coming from a Mass in El Chamical that had been celebrated for two murdered priests, Father Carlos de Dios Murias and Father Gabriel Longueville, Angelelli was intentionally wrecked by other vehicles, and then beaten to death in the road. His was one of many murders committed during the Argentinian Dirty War, was listed as a traffic accident, and it wasn't until a decade later, on 19 June 1986, when a new, more democratic government was in power, that the death was officially declared a murder. The investigation and court battles continued for decades more before finally, on 5 July 2014, Commander Menéndez and Luis Estrella, who had headed the Air Force base and torture center at El Chamical, were sentenced to life for Angelelli's murder.
