Polish Priest Beatified – His Mother present

Yesterday, an estimated 140,000 faithful have turned out in Warsaw for the beatification of murdered Polish priest Father Jerzy Popieluszko. The 37-year-old was killed in 1984 by the then Communist secrete police. His beatification mass was celebrated by Archbishop Angelo Amato. The priest’s mother who recently turned 100 was present at the ceremony: "I cried when my son left this earth, and now it is with joy that I greet his beatification," she told reporters.

Cyprus: Pope Was Staying in the United Nations Buffer Zone

In his farewell address at Larnaka Airport, Pope Benedict XVI has spoken about the political situation in Cyprus. “Having stayed these past nights in the Apostolic Nunciature, which happens to be in the United Nations buffer zone, I have seen for myself something of the sad division of the island, as well as learning of the loss of a significant part of a cultural heritage which belongs to all humanity. I have also listened to Cypriots from the north who wish to return in peace to their homes and places of worship, and I have been deeply moved by their pleas,” he said.

Corpus Christi Procession in Oxford

Prayer held off the rain yesterday so that the Oxford Corpus Christi Procession could take place as usual. It made its way from the Oxford Oratory to Blackfriars Priory church, and then on to the Oxford University Chaplaincy. The auxiliary bishop of Birmingham William Kenney led the Procession and preached in the Dominican church, and then gave Benediction in the Chaplaincy at the end of the Procession. While walking through the streets of Oxford through the city the faithful were singing Eucharistic hymns and prayed the Rosary.

Let the Whole of Humanity Tremble

Aelianus has published a great text of Saint Francis of Assisi on the weblog “exlaodicea.wordpress.com”: “Let the whole of humanity tremble, the whole world shake and the heavens exult when Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God is present on the altar in the hands of a priest! O admirable heights and sublime lowliness! O sublime humility! O humble sublimity! That the Lord of the universe, God and the Son of God, so humbles Himself that for our salvation He hides Himself under the little form of bread! Look at the humility of God and pour out your hearts before Him! Humble yourselves as well, that you may be exalted by Him.
