Mass Propers for Monday of the Third Week of Easter:
Entrance Antiphon: The Good Shepherd has risen
who laid down his life for his sheep and willingly died for his flock
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God
Jn 14:27: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you
Not as the world gives do I give it to you
Jn 12:24: Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies
it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies
putting off our old self with all its ways
for through the healing paschal remedies you have confirmed us to his nature
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit

Today the Roman Martyrology commemorates St
convert from Judaism and a professed Priest of the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel
Born in 1145 at Jerusalem and died by being stabbed to death in 1220 at Licata
Caterina Cittadini is also commemorated today
She was an Italian Roman Catholic religious from Bergamo who established the Ursuline Sisters of Saint Jerome Emiliani
The order was dedicated to the education of girls in Bergamo and in the surrounding areas and has since expanded outside of the Italian nation
leaving you an example that you should follow His steps" (Epistle)
The Christian slave might complain that his membership in the Church had not alleviated the harsh conditions of his life
Peter points to the example of Christ who was in all things to be the model of the Christian
neither was guile found in His mouth," but nevertheless he was subjected to persecution and injustice
But the Christian is expected to be a follower of Christ
but delivered Himself to him that judged Him unjustly." If then Christians feel that they have not achieved the liberty and the equality they long for
they are to remember that Christ had come not to right all the wrongs and injustices in the world
but to give an "example that you should follow His steps."
Men often complain against God when they suffer what they consider undeserved misfortunes
They think that God ought to interfere and punish injustice and wickedness here and now
They are like the apostles James and John; they want to call down fire from heaven and destroy those who appear to them to act improperly
Christ made it clear that all injustice will be rectified eventually
but that for the present He wishes to allow the cockle to grow among the wheat
When the proper time comes God will deal with injustice in His own way
But it is not only the slave who is to be subject to authority
and to recognize that mistreatment patiently borne is a service acceptable to God and meritorious for man
Obedience to legitimate authority does not depend on the worthiness of the official exercising authority
Christ Himself had commanded His disciples to obey the officials of the Jewish Church
even though they might not be personally worthy of the office they held
He was obedient first of all to His parents
"He went down with them and came to Nazareth
He observed the ritual and the laws of the Jewish Church
He obeyed the laws of the Roman authorities and paid the tribute they demanded
He set off on a Genoese ship on 1 April 1219 and stopped first in Messina before heading off to Civitavecchia before he ended up in Rome to meet with the pope
The friar preached in the Basilica of Saint John Lateran while in Rome where he met both Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Dominic
He foretold that Francis would receive the stigmata while Francis foretold his premature death.st angelus of jerusalem snip From there he was a guest of the Basilians in Palermo where he was for about a month
before preaching in Agrigento for over a month before settling in Licata
He had healed seven lepers and the ailing Archbishop of Palermo Bernardo de Castanea while in Palermo
He settled on the Sicilian island though his fame as a wonderworker caused crowds to flock to him
He also had success in converting some Jews though most Jews in Palermo came to despise him for this since he himself was once Jewish
He wanted to convert a Knight named Berenger
Catholic tradition states that Berenger was living in incest and that Angelo convinced the knight’s companion to leave him
Berenger became enraged and arranged to have him attacked and murdered
in front of the Church of Saints Filippo and Giacomo in Licata
He didn’t die from the attack until four days after the attack and during that time
he prayed for his assassin and asked the civil authorities to pardon him
setting an example for all those that he preached to
He was buried at Saints Filippo and Giacomo Church
His sepulchre at Licata quickly became a site of Pilgrimage
Symbols and Representation: Carmelite with a knife in his head; Carmelite with a sword in his breast
and three crowns; Carmelite with an angel bringing him three crowns; Carmelite with lilies and roses falling from his mouth
The sisters left the orphanage in 1823 to live with their cousins Giovanni and Antonio Cittadini
Caterina became a teacher at a girl‘s public school in Somasca in 1824
The sisters felt a call to the religious life; their spiritual director recommended that they should stay in Somasca
and become the basis of a new congregation
In 1826 the sisters rented a house in Somasca
and in October opened a boarding school for girls
and instituted the oratory style of education for her girls
The sisters established another “Cittadini” private school in 1832
Giuditta directed these new school until her sudden death in 1840
followed quickly by her spiritual director from the orphanage
The rapid succession of tragedy ruined Caterina’s health
but was cured through the intercession of Saint Jerome Emilani
Caterina quit her public teaching position in 1845 to manage the schools
and guide the three companions who help her
To help organize the work and lives of her companions
she wrote the beginnings of a new rule similar to that of religious orders
In 1850 she obtained permission to build a private oratory to keep the Blessed Sacrament at her boarding school
In 1851 she applied for approval of her new religious family
and told her to write the rules of the new order; her first attempt
based on the Constitution of the Ursulines of Milano was rejected
A second attempt was accepted on 17 September 1854 under the title Orsoline Gerolimiane (Ursuline Sisters of Somasca)
the bishop of Bergamo gave his approval; the order achieved papal recognition on 8 July 1927
and to care for the abandoned; today they work in Italy
the Mucem will celebrate its 5th year since it opened its doors – a timely moment for a first retrospective on a little known aspect of its work: the building-up of its collections
whose collection already numbers over a million items
The collection is indeed both rich and large
but historically it has been very linked to French culture
inasmuch as the Mucem inherited assets from the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions
Since the museum set itself the breadth of the Mediterranean region
it thus became necessary to re-vector our acquisitions policy in favour of this new area of competency
82% of Mucerm acquisitions come from the Mediterranean area
… the objects presented in this exhibition demonstrate great diversity in the collections
And how are each of them potentially pertinent to the Mucem
through donation proposals or purchases undertaken by individuals
We are also approached by galleries and auction houses
it’s the conservators themselves who go off to locate an object
Every conservator has their own specialised area of interest
which involves following developments in relevant galleries and sales catalogs and building up a network of collectors and amateurs
who will help find new objects of interest and new sources for the Mucem collections
but very useful for a museum about society such as the Mucem
We first define a specific research theme for a period of one
and then send out field investigators whose goal is to come back with “contextualised” objects
ie those that have come about through statements
and allow us to harvest the most information
This strategy enables us to obtain sets of objects with a clear context as to their origin
What sort of objects stem from such investigatory acquisitions
One example is the Tom Craig photograph fund that was acquired further to a major HIV Aids campaign and which documents the fight against the virus during the 1980s
which are part of an acquisitions policy carried out by the museum for over 10 years in France
This began before the current craze in the market for this type of discipline
every conservator puts forward an acquisition proposal during monthly internal meetings
the next phase involving the acquisitions committee begins and it meets once a year
Members include Mucem representatives as well as others from outside bodies (Ministry of Culture
etc) and they vote on whether to acquire the item(s) or not
There is also a third phase for items that will cost over a certain threshold and this depends on the the Museums Service of the Ministry of Culture
the Mucem thus acquired over 1,700 objects
which presents some fifty objects acquired since 2013 that include graffiti
—a display of some of the ways the collections have evolved and thereby highlight the principles that guide the enrichment of Mucem assets from the perspective of its area of competence
just as much geographic (the Mediterranean) as disciplinary (via ethnological
cultural and History of Art perspectives);
—a testament to the variety of acquired objects
—a presentation of Mucem’s own acquisition methods
from the traditional (donations; purchases from individuals
art market professionals; and public sales) to those particular to the museum (using investigative gathering techniques);
—a chance to view objects that have either never or rarely been on show at the Mucem
the CCR is also open to the public and this function was very much part of the thinking during its design phase in order to integrate specially dedicated areas for this purpose

3 Jun 2020FORMER Celtic keeper Logan Bailly has revealed he's quit his club in Belgium because the owner wanted him to sell WINE to make up for his lost football wages
The 34-year-old won eight caps for Belgium and spent two years as back-up at the Hoops. He made six appearances for them in total.
He was released in 2017 and signed for Mouscron, but his contract was terminated last year after a lack of games and he decided to retire after being out of football for over a year.
However, former Borussia Moenchengladbach and Genk keeper Bailly changed his mind and agreed to sign for Union Namur Fosses-La-Ville, who played in the Belgian lower leagues.
But he's now on the look-out for a new club after the unusual request from his club.
He said: "If I told you only a quarter of what I experienced here, you would have a good laugh.
"The majority of the players have had no wages since February and the new owner had decided he no longer has to pay us because of the coronavirus.
"In fact, he even suggested we sell wine instead to make up for not paying us.
"So I am looking for another club. I have had offers from teams in Malta and Romania, but I don't want to go too far from my family again.
"I still have enthusiasm for the game, but it will take time for me to get fit. It's like returning from injury.
"I have gained a few pounds and haven't touched a ball for two months, but if I get a chance from a club I'll fight to come back.
It was a part of my life and I did what I did
"I know what I spent and what I won and lost
but if I am homeless under a bridge in five years' time
I take responsibility for everything I've done."

the famous Portuguese egg cream tarts from Belem
At Val-de-Marne, in the town of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (accessible by public transport), a very special tavern awaits gourmet lovers of Portuguese cuisine. Taberna Londrina is the standard-bearer for the city of Porto
focusing on a very speciality: Francesinha
Nicknamed the "Portuguese croque-monsieur", this dish is said to have originated during the French invasions of Portugal under Napoleon 1st. It is said to have been inspired by the French croque-monsieur principle
with the twist that the sandwich is covered and surrounded by sauce
A comforting specialty that would be well worth a forkful
the name of this restaurant will sound familiar
and with good reason: Taberna Londrina is already present in several Portuguese cities
The restaurant is already attracting a large Portuguese diaspora
the reflex is more to greet you in Portuguese
and less to explain the restaurant's menu and specialties
when you ask what's the must-try dish on the menu
it's without the slightest hesitation that we recommend the Francesinhas " A Moda do Porto"
consisting of veal steak and fresh sausage
with a fried egg on top and generously covered with a port sauce in which to dip French fries (not homemade
Beer lovers beware: it goes perfectly with Taberna Londrina's own beer
If you'd like to nibble before enjoying this dish,the restaurant offers other specialized starters
Taberna Londrina offers other simpler dishes such as grilled salmon with two garnishes
it's hard to miss the homemade pastel de Nata
if you'd like to round off your meal with a more substantial sweet
we suggest you indulge in another specialty
airy caramel custard that almost reminds us of the consistency of whipped egg whites
