Gregory Helminski\, 1949\, USA \n  \n\nFor the grace to imitate our Founders\, and for fidelity to our charism and mission.\nFor all mothers\, like Saint Monica\, who pass on faith to their children.\nFor parents\, relatives\, friends and benefactors\, and for all those who have recommended themselves to our prayers.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“The parish is not an outdated institution; precisely because it possesses great flexibility\, it can assume quite different contours depending on the openness and missionary creativity of the pastor and the community.” (The Joy of the Gospel\, 28)

SUMMARY:St. Augustine
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Religious understand that apostolic activity\, rooted in and joined with contemplation\, belongs to the very nature of consecrated life; for it is a holy service and work of love entrusted to them by the Church to be carried out in its name.” (Con. 151) \n  \nDeceased:\nBr.

SUMMARY:The Passion of St. John the Baptist
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“In the formation of the religious\, as is the tradition of the Congregation\, Mary will be presented as a model. She is the perfect disciple of Jesus and is the model of all who are called to discipleship.” (Con. 152) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Antoni Miechonski\, 1971\, Wejherowo\, Poland\nFr. Roman Hinschberger\, 1975\, Kitchener\, Canada \n  \n\nFor the conversion of sinners\, and for all in affliction\, temptation and agony.\nJohn the Baptist with great courage called us to a change of heart and to embrace the ways of God\, may we continue to respond to this call.\nFor vocations to the Congregation of the Resurrection.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“A Church which ‘goes forth’ is a Church whose doors are open. Going out to others in order to reach the fringes of humanity does not mean rushing out aimlessly into the world. Often it is better simply to slow down\, to put aside our eagerness in order to see and listen to others\, to stop rushing from one thing to another\, and to remain with someone who has faltered along the way.” (The Joy of the Gospel\, 46)

SUMMARY:August 30
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n[Mary’s]\, “faith enabled Her to accept to gift of God’s love and to trust that all the promises made to Her would be fulfilled.

SUMMARY:Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n[Mary’s] “obedience enabled Her to cooperate with all of God’s plans for Her.

SUMMARY:World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation - Labour Day
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Prayer is at the very heart of religious formation.

Stanislaw Golonka\, 1941\, Rome\, Italy\nFr. Walter Wilczek\, 2010\, Chicago\, USA \n  \nFirst Vows:\nFr.

SUMMARY:Saint Gregory the Great
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Since prayer and spiritual growth in general take place primarily in the privy of one’s heart\, it is essential that each person in formation seek and receive proper and competent spiritual direction.” (Con. 154) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. William Benninger\, 1946\, Rome\, Italy\nFr. Leszek Czyz\, 1994\, Sulislawice\, Poland \n  \nBirthday:\nFr. James Gibson\, 1952\, USA \n  \nOrdination:\nFr.

SUMMARY:September 5
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT:  \n“In order that the religious may realize his full potential in his vocation\, a favorable environment is needed.

SUMMARY:September 6
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“A young religious will be granted the freedom to show initiative and creativity and to develop his talents; moreover\, he will be urged to use this freedom for the good of the community in which he lives.” (Con. 156) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr.

SUMMARY:Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Trust\, dialogue and communication are of the utmost importance to exercising this freedom.

The necessary means of attaining this end is prayer\, for God’s grace depends on prayer\, and grace alone leads to this intimate union with God through love.’” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 37)

SUMMARY:St. Peter Claver
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Let there be unity of heart and mind between a religious and those in authority. This union implies a common responsibility for the present and future good of the Congregation. Unity promotes the exercise of fraternal correction and prevents fear and human respect from deterring a religious from sharing with his brother and\, if necessary\, with the proper authorities his certain knowledge of serious defects in one of his confreres.” (Con. 157) \n  \nFirst Vows:\nBr. Nucinaldo Bezerra de Arruda\, 2011\, Brazil \n  \n\nFor fidelity to our charism and religious vows\, and for the spirit of the resurrection.\nFor couples and families who face difficulties in their relationship.\nThat the missionary zeal of St. Peter Claver may inspire us to ever greater service in the name of the Risen Lord.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“Let us underscore again how important it is that candidates build a personal relationship between themselves and God. It needs to be a relationship based on an experience of God’s love for them.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 42)

SUMMARY:September 10
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“A religious will make the greatest progress in personal growth where there is trust and respect among all the members.

Jan Kanty Kaczmarek\, 1976\, Poland \n  \n\nFor the Church\, for our Holy Father and for our local ordinary.\nFor students\, teachers and support staff as they begin a new school year.\nFor our members in long-term care.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“We need to remind ourselves frequently of God’s pleasure in creating and\, in particular\, His pleasure in creating us.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 43)

SUMMARY:September 11
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“The goal of the post-Novitiate formation is the personal development of the whole man: to help him grow in Christian maturity by becoming more aware of his sinfulness and Gods’ manifest love\, to help him deepen his vowed commitment to the Risen Christ\, to help him adapt his personal life in order to strengthen common life and to help him develop his gifts and talents so that he may use them in the apostolic work of the Congregation.” (Con. 162) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Pawel Smolikowski\, 1926\, Krakow\, Poland \n  \nBirthday:\nBr. Piotr Baran\, 1979\, Poland \n  \n\nFor our Congregation and our superiors and for vocations to our Congregation.\nFor the gift of healing for those who are sick: Resurrectionists\, family\, friends and benefactors.\nFor an end to violence and acts of terror.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“A person comes into existence apart from any decisions or power on his part. His existence is a deliberative wish of God.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 45)

SUMMARY:The Most Holy Name of Mary
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Spiritual formation continues along the lines laid out in the Novitiate program: a deepening awareness of the life and works of the Founders\, a growing union with the Risen Christ through prayer and the exercise of fraternal charity in living the common life in simplicity\, and an increasingly self-disciplined life based on the Gospel which witnesses to the death and resurrection of Christ.” (Con. 163) \n  \nDeceased:\nDeacon Bartlomiej Morawiec\, 1903\, Adrianople\, Bulgaria\nFr. Teodor Dembinski\, 1928\, Siemianowice\, Poland \n  \n\nFor our country\, for civil rulers and for peace in the world.\nFor our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters.\nThat the Holy Name of Mary may offer us protection.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“Worship is not only the truest prayer; it is also the basis of all prayer. … Worship prepares us for the whole range of prayer\, it also leads us to spiritual freedom in general.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 45)

SUMMARY:Sts. Cornelius and Cyprian
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Those responsible for formation will be careful to respect the human dignity and the special divine vocation of persons entrusted to their care.
