breski1 | December 20, 2007 Saint Peter Canisius
Saint Petrus Canisius (8 May 1521 – 21 December 1597) was an important Jesuit who fought against the spread of Protestantism in Germany, Austria, Bohemia (Czech Republic), and Switzerland. The restoration of the Catholic Church in Germany after the Reformation is attributed to his work.
St Peter Canisius was beatified by Blessed Pius IX in the year 1864, and later canonized and declared a Doctor of the Church on 21 May 1925 by Pope Pius XI.[1] His feast day was included in the General Roman Calendar in 1926, for celebration on 27 April. In 1969 it was moved to 21 December, his day of death and so the normal day for celebrating a saint's entry into heaven.

DECEMBER 21, 2010 DAILY PRAYER WITH REGNUM CHRISTI [2] ------------------------- A JOURNEY OF FAITH AND LOVE December 21, 2010 Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Advent Father Matthew Kaderabek, LC Luke 1:39-45 During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Introductory Prayer: Lord, help me to settle my mind and my heart. I know that you are present in this prayer. I want to turn aside all distractions. Increase my faith in your action in my life. You are leading me to yourself. Help me to place myself more fully in your hands. Increase my faith so that I will do anything and suffer anything for you. Use me as an instrument of your grace in the lives of those I meet today. Petition: Lord, help me to follow Mary's example of faith and love and bring you to others this Christmas. 1. Mary, Our Advent Model Mary is truly the model of how we should be living Advent in preparing for Christ's arrival. God the Father prepared her from the first moment of her conception to be the worthy mother of his Son. Like a faithful daughter of Israel, she had prayed throughout her youth for the coming of the Messiah. When she was a young lady, she discovered that she was part of God's answer to that prayer, but in a way that would have far exceeded any Hebrew maiden's prayers: not only would the Messiah be her son, but her son would also be God. Her "fiat", her wholehearted "yes!" to the Archangel Gabriel, launched the proximate preparation for the birth of Jesus the Messiah. Let us enter into Mary's response of faith, which is a guide for us along our own pilgrimage of faith. Let us listen to the beat of Mary's contemplative heart, so that our Christmas may be as fruitful as that first Christmas. 2. Someone Who Loves Takes Notice of the Details No sooner had the Archangel left Mary in Nazareth after announcing her important role in God's incredible plan of salvation than Mary herself made plans to depart. She went with haste to help her elderly kinswoman Elizabeth who was pregnant for the first time. Gabriel had not instructed Mary to go to Elizabeth's aid, nor did he suggest it. Mary's great love was sufficient to cause her to spring into action and embark upon the long sixty-mile journey to Elizabeth's hometown outside Jerusalem. In undertaking this challenging and potentially dangerous journey, Mary showed — as she did at the wedding feast in Cana — that someone who loves takes notice of the details. She showed that someone who loves does whatever possible to lend a helping hand, even at the cost of considerable sacrifice. We can imagine that this was Mary's attitude from her earliest childhood. 3. Be A Missionary — Bring Christ! By going to Elizabeth's aid, Mary — carrying the tiny Jesus in her womb — became the first missionary, the first bearer of the Good News that would change all of human history. Mary was able to bring incredible joy to both Elizabeth and John the Baptist in her womb precisely because she was bringing Christ. And Mary was able to burst out with her beautiful Magnificat for the very same reason. To bring joy to others this Christmas, we really have to bring them Christ. He is the greatest gift we could ever bring to someone we love — all the material goods in the world fall flat in comparison. Without sharing Jesus, we are not giving our loved ones anything that is truly lasting. Bring Christ and you bring everything. Conversation with Christ: Lord Jesus, it is clear that your mother wants me to learn from her example. She inspires me to bring you to others this Christmas season. I know plenty of people who desperately need you in their lives, who need your forgiveness, who hunger for your love and presence, perhaps without even knowing it. I know that my loving relationship with you is never meant to be kept to myself; it is a gift meant to be shared. Your mother's example shows me the way to live Advent well and explicitly challenges me to be a missionary by bringing you to the world. Resolution: I will share my faith this Christmas season with a friend or relative in need. meditation.regnumchristi.org

Leben [Bearbeiten]

Petrus Canisius auf einem Kupferstich um 1600
Petrus Canisius war der Sohn des Bürgermeisters von Nimwegen. Der Geburtsort Nimwegen lag damals in der Diözese Köln und somit im Heiligen Römischen Reich Deutscher Nation. Der Geburtstag war der Tag, an dem über Martin Luther in Worms die Reichsacht verhängt wurde.
Als achtes Mitglied des jungen Ordens trat Petrus Canisius an seinem 22. Geburtstag am 8. Mai 1543 bei den wenige Jahre zuvor gegründeten Jesuiten als erster Deutscher ein und legte im Pfarrhaus von St. Christoph in Mainz sein Gelübde ab.[1] Als erster deutscher Ordensprovinzial begründete er den maßgeblichen Einfluss der Jesuiten bei der Gegenreformation in Deutschland.
Im Januar 1547 berief ihn der Bischof von Augsburg, Kardinal Otto Truchsess von Waldburg, zum Konzil von Trient. Um diese Zeit begann er, die latinisierte Form seines Namens zu verwenden.
Er war Rektor und Theologieprofessor der Universität Ingolstadt (heute Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) und zählte zu den ersten Jesuiten, die ab 1551 nach Wien beordert wurden, um die Gegenreformation voranzutreiben. Das Bischofsamt lehnte er ab, die Ernennung zum Administrator der Diözese Wien für die Jahre 1554 bis 1555 akzeptierte er, predigte im Februar 1556 im überfüllten Stephansdom und führte den neuen Dombaumeister Hans Saphoy in sein Amt ein. In der Folge wurde das Abhalten lutheranischer Gottesdienste in privaten Bürgerhäusern und im Wiener Rathaus streng verboten.
Canisius entfaltete ein reges Wirken im süddeutschen Raum, denn sowohl Kaiser Ferdinand I. als auch Papst Gregor XIII. vertrauten ihm die deutsche Kirchenpolitik an.
Achtung schuf sich Petrus Canisius durch seine liebenswürdige Art, die ihn nie von Ketzern oder Irrlehren sprechen ließ, sondern einfühlsam von „neuen Lehrern“ und „neuen Lehren“. Kirchliche Missstände prangerte er jedoch scharf und deutlich an. Sein Katechismus, der 1555 unter dem Titel Summa doctrinae christianae erschien, war als Antwort auf den Martin Luthers gedacht und wurde allein bis zu seinem Tode 200 mal nachgedruckt und ab 1591 vom Augsburger Fürstbischof Johann Otto von Gemmingen in den Schulen seines Machtbereiches eingeführt.
In seinen letzten Lebensjahren gründete er 1580 im Schweizer Freiburg im Üechtland das Kollegium Sankt Michael. Nach der Vertreibung der Jesuiten in der Schweiz im Sonderbundkrieg musste das Kollegium geschlossen werden. Die Jesuiten errichteten 1856 das Kollegium Stella Matutina in Feldkirch und 1934 das Kollegium St. Blasien. Nach seinem Tod wurde Petrus Canisius in der Fribourger Universitätskirche St. Michael beigesetzt.
1869 wurde er selig und 1925 von Pius XI. heilig gesprochen und zum Kirchenlehrer ernannt. Leo XIII. bezeichnete ihn, in der Enzyklika Militantis ecclesiae (1. August 1897) zum 300. Todestag, als den „Zweiten Apostel Deutschlands“ nach Bonifatius.
Seine Büste fand Aufstellung in der Ruhmeshalle in München.
Er ist Patron der 1964 errichteten Diözese Innsbruck .

Saint Petrus Canisius (8 May 1521 – 21 December 1597) was an important Jesuit who fought against the spread of Protestantism in Germany, Austria, Bohemia (Czech Republic), and Switzerland. The restoration of the Catholic Church in Germany after the Reformation is attributed to his work. St Peter Canisius was beatified by Blessed Pius IX in the year 1864, and later canonized and declared a Doctor of the Church on 21 May 1925 by Pope Pius XI.[1] His feast day was included in the General Roman Calendar in 1926, for celebration on 27 April. In 1969 it was moved to 21 December, his day of death and so the normal day for celebrating a saint's entry into heaven. Life He was born Peter Kanis in Nijmegen in the Duchy of Guelders (until 1549 part of the Spanish Netherlands within the Holy Roman Empire, now the Netherlands). In the University of Cologne, he met Blessed Peter Faber, one of the founders of the Society of Jesus. St Peter Canisius became the first Dutchman to join the Jesuit order in 1543. Through his work in the order he became one of the most influential Catholics of his time. He supervised the founding and maintenance of the early German Jesuit Colleges, often with little resources at hand. Because of his frequent travels between the colleges, a tedious and dangerous occupation at the time, he became known as the Second Apostle of Germany. St Peter Canisius also exerted a strong influence on Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I; he ceaselessly reminded Ferdinand of the imminent danger to his soul should he concede more rights to Protestants in return for their military support. When Peter Canisius sensed a very real danger of Ferdinand's son and heir, King Maximilian, openly declaring himself a Protestant, he convinced Emperor Ferdinand to threaten disinheritance should Maximilian desert the Catholic Faith. St Peter Canisius was an influential teacher and preacher, especially through his "German catechism", a book that defined the basic principles of Catholicism in the German language and found many readers in German-speaking countries. He was offered the post of bishop of Vienna, but declined in order to continue his travelling and teachings. However, he was administrator of the Diocese of Vienna from 1554 to 1555 and main pulpit spokesman in Augsburg Cathedral from 1559 to 1568, where he strongly witnessed to his faith on three or four occasions each week. His preaching was said to have been so convincing that it attracted hundreds of Protestants back to the old faith. He was one of the main theologians at the Colloquy of Worms in 1557. By the time he left Germany in 1590, the Jesuit order in Germany had evolved from almost nothing into a powerful tool of the Counter Reformation. Canisius spent the last 20 years of his life in Fribourg, Switzerland, where he founded the Jesuit preparatory school, the Collège Saint Michel, that prepared generations of young men for careers and future university studies, and under cantonal administration continues to exist as a coeducational preparatory institution. [edit] Pastoral Strategy of Petrus Canisius Petrus Canisius lived in the age of Reformation and dedicated much of his work to the clarification of the Catholic faith in light of the emergence of the new Protestant religions. His lasting contribution is his three catechisms, which he published in Latin and German, which became widespread and popular in Catholic regions. In his fight with German Protestantism, he requested much more flexibility from Rome. "If you treat them right, the Germans will give you everything". Many err in matters of faith, but without arrogance. They err the German way, mostly honest, a bit simple-minded, but very open for everything Lutheran. An honest explanation of the faith would be much more effective than a polemical attack against reformers.[2] He rejected Catholic attacks against Calvin and Melanchton with the words: With words like these, we don’t cure patients, we make them incurable [3] [edit] Mariology of Canisius Main article: Mariology of the saints Canisius taught that while there are many roads leading to Jesus Christ, Marian veneration is the best way to him [4] His sermons and letters document a clear preoccupation with Marian veneration. [4] Under the heading "prayer" he explains the Ave Maria, Hail Mary, as the basis for Catholic Marian piety. [5] Less known are his Marian books, in which he published prayers and contemplative texts. He is credited with adding to the Hail Mary the sentence Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners. [6] Eleven years later it was included in the Catechism of the Council of Trent of 1566. Theologically, Canisius defended Roman Catholic Mariology, in his 1577 book, De Maria Virgine Incomparabili et Dei Genitrice Sacrosancta Libri Quinque. From today's perspective, Canisius clearly erred in some of his sources, but, because of his factual analysis of original sources, represents one of the best theological achievements in the 16th century. [7] [edit] Legacy Relics associated with St Peter CanisiusIn recognition of his early work in the establishment of Jesuit education, there are multiple educational institutions named for St Peter Canisius. Among them is Canisius College, a Jesuit secondary school in his hometown of Nijmegen and the alma mater of Peter Hans Kolvenbach, recently retired Superior General of the Society of Jesus. Another Canisius College, a post-secondary school, and Canisius High School, a secondary school, are located in Buffalo, New York. Furthermore, a Jesuit-run Canisius Kolleg can be found in Berlin, Germany. There is also a secondary school named after Canisius, Kolese Kanisius (Collegium Canisianum or Canisius College), in Jakarta, Indonesia. In addition, there is a primary school: Basisschool Petrus Canisius in Puth in Limburg, The Netherlands. In 1850 they also founded the Canisius Hospital on the corner of the Houtmarkt and the Pauwelstraat in Nijmegen. In 1974 it has merged in to the Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital located at the Weg door Jonkerbos in Nijmegen. The 'Apologetische Vereniging St. Petrus Canisius' (apologetic association Petrus Canisius) was founded in the Netherlands in 1904. The purpose of this association was the defense of the Roman Catholic Church against new values of socialism and liberalism and the restoration of the society with a more Catholic way of life.
