It was my father

Augustine Lozier was the kind of person most people would call lucky, blessed by life. He was born in Tracadie in 1913. He grew up in a large family, united in an ideal composition for him: a son, four daughters, Augustine, four girls and one boy. He never lacked support and affection. He has never had to struggle to distinguish himself from his brothers. He was fortunate to work very young as a logger with his father. The latter also showed how to play the violin. Young people have benefited in full from the golden age of radio in learning and playing popular music of that era. Augustine knew by heart to sing the songs on guitar by Jimmy Rogers, with her sisters Alma and Rita and friends, he has regularly made people dance in the evenings.

At thirty years, his life took a turn when he noticed Rita Fortin on the ice. When he began dating one of his strengths was that he owned a car. Their two personalities were made to get along and they decided together to start a family. They had five children who have caused them concern, it is in the order of things, but they also removed a lot of satisfaction. In his portfolio, which Augustine had a photo of each project welding or carpentry, there was a picture of the five boys he liked to point out as his creations. Augustine and Rita lived in Kapuskasing Brunetville then. The cottage was built by Augustin Remi Lake was a heavenly place for their youth and later grew to three grandchildren. A memorable feat was a time or three generations of Lozier jointly mounted on skis, pulled by the same boat engine: Augustine, myself and my son Jean-Francois .. Augustine was fortunate enough to live 65 years with his wife Rita, a woman for whom he had an admiration and a boundless affection. He knew he was blessed by God to have received such a gift. Until his marriage he gave his paycheck to his mother after he gave it to Rita, whom he has always relied for financial management.

For 38 years, Augustine has worked at the paper mill. He is lucky to have landed this job as a young man and, quite quickly, he became head of machine. My father had what is now called learning difficulties, which he had difficulty reading and writing. When he was offered the position of foreman for which we felt capable, he refused because he was incompetent paperwork side. He often said he loved his job, he was happy to get up an go to work. The camaraderie, the opportunity to show his talent in solving problems, his pride in being responsible for a large paper machine to fill it. He said he spent much time dozing or talking because he knew avoid breaking the paper. When he turned thumbs the company was making money.

Augustine was recognized for his talent as a storyteller funny perfect timing. He also loved taking pictures and being photographed (he had a sense of direction). Upon retirement, he was very proud when he was asked to go participate in the installation of a paper mill in Mexico and training of workers. Like many people in retirement, Augustine and Rita have turned to leisure activities and travel. Augustine, who had never belonged to any association, was built to groups of retirees that we appreciated his skills as a handyman and his between-people. My parents went to a few winters in Florida and a dozen winters in Mexico, or they were happy to find good friends who felt Augustine as an elder who knew aging gracefully. A year before his death, Augustine and Rita spent a month in Mexico. At 94 years!

During the month of August 2008, Augustine was broken femur and his hospital stay was prolonged. We do not know why, but that the bone was healed, he never learned to walk again, but it was moving in a wheelchair. Rita went to see him every day, mostly to help him to supper. Six months in the long term care were a difficult period for him and for us, because her physical and mental health was deteriorating rapidly. There were moments of lucidity and moments with hallucinations. The last two weeks, he struggled against respiratory and communication was very difficult (he was hard of hearing and his voice was more and more off). By godsend, Rita and my brother Michael (who came to support my mother) were unable to attend his last breath. We can thank the Lord for 94 wonderful years in form and also for the relatively short time and counting down where he was accompanied by his half of dedication and support of kinship and friends.

I count myself lucky to have parents like Rita and Augustine. Their marital harmony and their lifestyle and aging gracefully are an ideal for us to find. I know my father's land is now with my heavenly Father. I know I'll see him again and that we will one day share the same life of resurrection. Without wanting to talk about core human values of my father, I want to conclude by saying that I asked for the liturgy of the Resurrection from the Gospel text is the beatitudes proclaimed by Jesus. Augustine without realizing it, lived the spirit of the beatitudes.

The final message of the Synod on the Word of God

Here is a personal summary of the "Message of the Synod on the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church", approved Friday, October 24, 2008, at the end of the XII Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops. The fathers we propose a spiritual journey in four stages.
I. THE VOICE OF THE WORD: THE REVELATION
a) Establishment: The first revelation of God is the book of creation where we can read the message of God the Creator.
b) History: The Word of God is at work and saving in the history of humans. There is a divine presence in human events, are recorded in a loving plan, a plan of salvation.
c) The Holy Scriptures: The Word of God is also manifested in the Scriptures that are proving a memorial event for the creative and saving revelation. The Word of God precedes and goes beyond the written Bible, but which is inspired by God and having God's word effectively.
d) The Person of Jesus Christ: Our faith is not only centered on a book but a history of salvation and a person, Jesus Christ reveals the Father, the Word of God made flesh.
e) Tradition: Because the horizon of the divine word embraces and extends beyond of Scripture, the constant presence of the Spirit is necessary. The great tradition is the effective presence of the Spirit in the Church, the guardian and communicator of Scripture.
II. THE FACE OF THE WORD: JESUS CHRIST
In Jesus Christ, therefore, the eternal and divine Word enters into space and time, makes a face and assumes a human identity ("the Word became flesh") .
The Christian tradition has often paralleled the Divine Word made flesh with the same word made book. "The words of God expressed in human language, have been made like the language of men, as the word of the Eternal Father, having assumed the weaknesses of human nature, became like men. "(Vatican II, Dei Verbum, 13)
This" bodily "dimension that Scripture requires analysis historical and literary (biblical exegesis). Exegetical knowledge must fit into the spiritual and theological tradition, that is not broken the divine and human unity of Jesus Christ and Scripture.
All Scripture reveals one dialogue between God and humanity, extended in time, in one plan of salvation. Because at the heart of Revelation, there is the Word of God in Jesus Christ now face the ultimate aim of knowledge of the Bible is contact with an Event, the encounter with a Person.
III. THE HOUSE OF THE WORD: THE CHURCH
The Church continues to be the guardian, the herald and interpreter of the Word. "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, faithful to the fellowship, the breaking of bread and in prayers." (Acts 2:42) Four columns supporting the house of the Word is the Church.
a) The Church House the Word, comes the voice teacher who offers all the Kerygma, primary and fundamental announcement of salvation. Then resounds in the Church catechism, intended to deepen in the Christian understanding of the mystery of Christ in light of the Word. The highest point of preaching is the homily, where the minister should be transformed into a prophet.
b) In the Church, home of the Word, the breaking of the Eucharistic Bread succeeds the homily. "The Church has always shown its respect for the Scriptures, as against Body of the Lord himself, since, especially in the sacred liturgy, she unceasingly to make the bread of life and present it to the faithful at the table of the Word of God as the Body of Christ. "( Vatican II, Dei Verbum, 21)
c) The third pillar of the Church, home of the Word, consists of prayers. A privileged place is naturally taken by the Liturgy of the Hours and community celebrations of the Word and the practice of lectio divina (prayerful reading of sacred texts, meditation, prayer and contemplation).
d) The last pillar that supports the Church, home of the Word, is the fellowship. To become brothers and sisters of Jesus, we must be "those who hear the Word of God and put into practice." (Luke 8, 21) The other Churches and ecclesial communities share our love and veneration of the Word of God, the source and a first and real unity.
IV. THE ROADS OF THE WORD: THE MISSION
communication, nowadays, lies in a network that envelops the globe. The voice of the Divine Word must resonate over the radio, the Internet, CDs, DVDs, etc.. It should appear on television screens and film, print, au sein des événements culturels et sociaux. En un temps dominé par l’image, le modèle privilégié par le Christ est encore aujourd’hui significatif et suggestif: il avait recours au symbole, à la narration, à l’exemple, à l’expérience quotidienne, à la parabole.
La famille est un espace fondamental dans lequel doit entrer la Parole de Dieu. La transmission de la Parole de Dieu se fait à travers la lignée des générations, ce qui fait que les parents deviennent les premiers à faire connaître la foi.
Dans les Écritures, ce qui domine surtout est la figure du Christ, lui qui débute son ministère public par une annonce d’espérance: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor." (Luke 4: 18-19) In his solidarity of love and sacrifice himself, Christ shall, within the limit and in the evil of humanity, a seed of divinity, a principle of freedom, giving us the dawn of resurrection. The Christian has the mission to proclaim God's word of hope by sharing with the poor, by the testimony of his faith in the Kingdom, through the loving closeness with the suffering.
On the paths of the world, the divine word generates an encounter and dialogue with the Jewish people first, and with Islam, the great religious traditions of the East, traditional religions, etc.. The Bible is necessary not only to believers but to all, to rediscover the authentic meanings of various cultural expressions and above all to find our own historical identity, civil, human and spiritual.
But the Word of God is not chained to a culture. The Church must enter the Word of God in the plurality of cultures and express it according to their languages, their concepts, their symbols and their religious traditions, while retaining the true essence its contents. The Church must shine the values that the Word of God offers to all cultures, so they may be purified and fruitful. CONCLUSION

Let us approach the table of the Word of God, so we eat and to live. Let the Word of God resound at the beginning of our day that God has the first word and let it echo in us in the evening so that the last word belongs to God.

Thank You Notes For Condolences(wording)

The deification

My daughter Anne-Marie asked me to speak of "the doctrine of deification, as an acquaintance is writing a thesis on the subject. The word is synonymous with deification deification (French), theosis (Greek) deiformity (Latin).

God, perfectly happy and self-sufficient in the Trinity, still decided to create free beings endowed with reason and with them to establish a relationship of friendship. Humans have chosen to break the bond of love with their Creator. God then chose to become fully human in Jesus Christ to restore that relationship. The initiative of creation, incarnation, redemption, resurrection, the glorification comes only from God and fully.

Saint Athanasius summed up admirably deification: "God became human so that man might become divine." Jesus is the God-man. The unity between humanity and divinity of Jesus the Second Person of the Holy Trinity is perfect, incomparable, inimitable. Jesus is divine in nature. We humans are divine by participation in the divinity of Jesus. Insofar as we are united to Jesus, we are deified.

Becoming divine is our calling, our reason for being. We are created by God to achieve a union with him that we will participate, as much as possible for created beings to do, at the Paradise Trinity. The love of friendship can only exist between two equals. In Jesus, God wants us to love with a love of friendship, is our equal and made us equals. In Jesus, the one perfect Mediator, God is within our grasp and we are within the reach of God.

In Scripture, the reality of deification is expressed in various ways: we are Christ's body, temple of the Holy Spirit, Christ's brothers, children of God. We also talk about new birth, adoption as sons, sanctification, transformation, assimilation. The latter term means we transformed the image of God insofar as we are similar / Emirates (similar) to Christ through the action of the Holy Spirit.

The deification, which is God's work, is attributed to the Holy Spirit. Risen Jesus is the model of what we are called to become by the grace of God (desired by the Father, through Jesus deserved, accomplished by the action of the Holy Spirit) and the collaboration of each and every one of us . This is beyond our human capacity, but is possible with the help of grace. The ability to see God as He is (as God gives us to heaven, the resurrection) is the largest of all the wonders of creation, because it abolishes the infinite distance between the created and the Uncreated, the creature and the Creator.

This deification is real and current, but now hidden, invisible, hidden, supernatural. This happens in the depths of our being. The body part of our being involved, at the resurrection, this deification, as the deification will total up all our being in all its dimensions. During our life on earth, the Spirit's action does not occur often so obvious or fast, but it can sometimes have an impact in some or even inside the body. These events are significant as a pledge (a glimpse) of what we will be life after the resurrection. But this eternal life, God is already present within us.

The Son is God from all eternity. By our union with Christ by grace alone, we become like him. Without the action of the Holy Spirit, we could become like God, no, nor reach union with God which we call the Trinity, and we intended. By grace, when we see God as we become like him. The more we are united to Christ and we are like him, the more we are united to God and we will be more divine. We can and must cooperate today to our deification enjoying the means at our disposal to live a supernatural life: the sacraments, the word of God, prayer, implementation of the theological virtues and moral commitment, etc..

How To Write A Invitation For Church Anniversary

Role of a parish pastoral council

The following entitled "Wanted" and was primarily aimed at the parish Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to Ottawa. One reason as the blog post is that sometimes there is nothing like a very concrete example to better understand a general concept.

"We're looking for parishioners and parishioners who would like to enlist as members of parish pastoral council of the Nativity. If, after reflection and prayer, you feel that this is not an appropriate way for you to serve the parish, perhaps you'll have the good sense to encourage someone else to do.

What the parish pastoral council or CPC? Let us first the distinction between the CPC and various committees of the parish. Committees each have an area of responsibility, a specific job to do, they are action-oriented. MPC, it is a Council, his job is to think and act if necessary. His responsibility is very broad: to ensure that all of life and the future of the parish.

The various committees of our parish are all very vibrant and promising life. A CPP is strong yet very important at this moment here in the history of our parish, we are called to take a new turn sharing our priests with our two sister parishes.

The role of the CCP is threefold:

- It should represent the parish at the unit level, region and diocese.

- must adjust the pastoral priorities of the diocese, region and unity in our parish situation.

- It must, above all, promote the life of our parish and guide its future.

Its responsibility is primarily at the level of reflection, representation and guidance, but may decide to initiate and coordinate projects that stimulate the parochial sense of belonging and identity that strengthen our parish. For example, a mobilizing and unifying project for the year 2008-2009 would be the 50th th anniversary of the founding of our parish.

Another area that the CPC must focus is the reception and integration of newcomers into the parish, including hosting our two new priests. It will also help parishioners to adapt to a new context: checking how they are feeling, informing, answering their questions.

More MPC members will have, the easier it is to share responsibilities based on availability and talents of each and everyone. Even if you already have commitments, please contact us to give your name or for more information. Nothing prevents you from doing a test a few months to see if it's your personal mission parish. "
