11 Gennaio 2023 ♦️ S. Tommaso da Cori ♦️ sacerdote dei Frati Minori Nacque a Cori (Lt) il 4 giugno 1655 e venne battezzato con il nome di Francesco Antonio Placidi. A 14 anni restò orfano, facendosi così carico dell'intera famiglia. A 22 anni entrò nell'ordine dei Frati minori francescani, nel convento della Santissima Trinità in Orvieto, assumendo il nome di frà Tommaso. Per 5 anni fu allievo del celebre Lorenzo Cozza e nel 1683 a Velletri fu consacrato sacerdote diventando anche predicatore. Esercitò l'apostolato nella diocesi di Subiaco e in quelle confinanti con tale successo da essere indicato fin da subito come «l'apostolo del Sublacense». Le sue predicazioni furono raccolte in un volume manoscritto. Nel suo apostolato si distinse per la pratica esemplare delle virtù cristiane. Più volte durante la Messa ebbe diversse apparizioni. Compì anche alcuni miracoli. Ma il suo nome è legato soprattutto alla grande opera dei «Ritiri» dell'Ordine francescano. Seguendo l'esempio del beato Bonaventura da Barcellona, fondò i «ritiri» di San Francesco a Civitella (ora Bellegra) e a Palombara Sabina. Tommaso morì a 74 anni, nel 1729.

Saint of the Day – 11 January – St Tommaso da Cori OFM (1655-1729) Franciscan Friar and Priest, Preacher, Spiritual advisor, Evangeliser, Apostle of the Holy Eucharist, Prayer and Charity – known as the “Apostle of the Sublacense” – born Francesco Antonio Placidi on 4 June 1655 in Cori, Latina, Italy as Francesco Antonio Placidi and died on 11 January 1729 at Bellegra, Rome, Italy of natural causes.   Patronages – Subiaco, Province of Rome (co-patron), Preachers.

St Tommaso was born in Cori (Latina) on 4 June 1655.   He knew a childhood marked by the premature loss first of his mother and then of his father, thus being left alone at the age of 14 to look after his younger sister.   Shepherding sheep, he learned wisdom from the simplest things.   Once his sister was married, the youth was free to follow the inspiration that for some years he had kept in the silence of his heart – to belong completely to God in the Religious Life of a Franciscan.   He had been able to get to know the Friars Minor in his own village at the St Francis convent.   Once his two sisters were settled in good marriages and he was rendered free of all other preoccupations, he was received into the Order and sent to Orvieto (PG) to fulfill his novitiate year.   After professing his vows according to the Rule of St Francis and completing his theological studies, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1683.   He was immediately nominated vice master of novices at Holy Trinity convent in Orvieto, since his superior recognised at once his gifts.

After a short time, Fr Tommaso heard of the hermitages that were beginning to bloom in the Order and the intention of the superiors of the Roman Province to inaugurate one at the convent at Civitella (today Bellegra).   His request was accepted and the young friar thus knocked at the door of the poor convent in 1684, saying, “I am Fr Tommaso of Cori and I come here to become holy!”   In speech perhaps distant from ours, he expressed his anxiousness to live the Gospel radically, after the spirit of Saint Francis.

From then, Fr Tommaso lived at Bellegra until death, with the exception of six years in which he was Guardian at the convent of Palombara, where he initiated the Hermitage modelled after the one at Bellegra.   He wrote the Rule first for one and then for the other, observing it scrupulously and consolidating by word and example the new institution of the two Hermitages.

The long years spent at Saint Francis of Bellegra can be summed up in three points:

Prayer: St Tommaso of Cori was surely – as is said of St Francis – not so much a man who prayed as a man who became prayer.   This dimension animated the entire life of the founder of the Hermitage.   The most evident aspect of his spiritual life was undoubtedly the centrality of the Eucharist, as attested by St Tommaso in his celebration of the Eucharist, which was intense and attentive and in the silent prayer of adoration during the long nights at the Hermitage after the Divine Office, celebrated at midnight.   His life of prayer was marked by a persistent aridity of spirit.   The total absence of sensible consolation in prayer and in his life of union with God was protracted for a good 40 years, finding him always serene and totally in living the primacy of God.   Truly, his prayer was configured as a remembrance of God that made concretely possible a unity of life, notwithstanding his manifold activities.

Evangelisation: St Tommaso did not close himself up in the Hermitage, forgetting the good of his brothers and sisters, and the heart of the Franciscan vocation, which is apostolic.   He was called with good reason the Apostle of Sublacense (the Subiaco region), having crossed the territory and its villages with the indefatigable proclamation of the Gospel, in the administration of the sacraments and the flowering of miracles at his passage, a sign of the presence and nearness of the Kingdom.   His preaching was clear and simple, convincing and strong.   He did not climb the most illustrious pulpits of his time, his personality was able to give its best in an ambit restricted to our territory, living his Franciscan vocation in littleness and in the concrete choice of the poorest.

Exquisite charity: St  Tommaso of Cori was to his brothers, a very gentle father.   In the face of the resistance of some brothers before his will to reform and his radicality in living the Franciscan ideal, the Saint knew how to respond with patience and humility, even finding himself alone to mind the convent.   He had understood well that every true reform initiates itself.

The considerable correspondence left by him, demonstrates St Tommaso’ attention to the smallest expectations and needs of his Friars and of numerous friends, penitents and Friars who turned to him for his counsel.   In the convent, he demonstrated his spirit of charity in his availability for every necessity, even the most humble.

Rich in merits, he fell asleep in the Lord on 11 January 1729.   St Tommaso of Cori shines among us and in Rome, of which he is the co-patron, above all in his thirst for a Christian and Franciscan ideal that is pure and lived in its essentials.   A inspiration for all of us, not to take lightly the Gospel and its all-encompassing exigencies….Vatican.va

St Tommaso’s body is enshrined in the Franciscan Chapel of Bellagra.   He was Beatified on 3 September 1786, at Saint Peter’s Basilica, by Pope Pius VI and Canonised on 21 November 1999, at Saint Peter’s Square, Vatican City by St Pope John Paul II.

CADAVRE EXQUIS #46 - FILOSOFI MISTICI IN UNA PAUSA DI LAVORO

 Il Cadavre exquis è una tecnica di componimento artistico metafisicamente eccellente, ma sufficientemente incosciente da essere usata anche dai surrealisti, nella quale due o più persone realizzano un’unica immagine, eseguendo la propria parte senza conoscere quella eseguita dagli altri.

 "Filosofi mistici in una pausa di lavoro" è un cadavre-exquis eseguito da Pier Paolo Di Mino e Veronica Leffe a Bellegra nel 2007.

10th October >> (@zenitenglish) #PopeFrancis #Pope Francis: ‘How can an act that suppresses innocent & defenseless budding human life be therapeutic, civil or simply human? I ask you: it is right to do away w/a human life to solve a problem? Is it right to hire a hitman to solve a problem? One cannot do this’.

Pope Francis’ Full Catechesis

General Audience: On the 5th Commandment Not to Kill

‘How can an act that suppresses innocent and defenseless budding human life be therapeutic, civil or simply human? I ask you: it is right to do away with a human life to solve a problem? Is it right to hire a hitman to solve a problem? One cannot do this…’

This morning’s General Audience was held at 9:20 in St. Peter’s Square, where the Holy Father Francis met with groups of pilgrims and faithful from Italy and from all over the world.

Continuing with the series of catecheses on the Commandments, in his address in Italian the Pope focused his meditation on: Do not kill (Biblical passage: from the Book of Wisdom, 11:24-26).

After summarizing his catechesis in several languages, the Holy Father expressed special greetings to groups of faithful present.

The General Audience ended with the singing of the Pater Noster and the Apostolic Blessing.

* * *

The Holy Father’s Catechesis

Dear Brothers and Sisters, good morning!

Today’s catechesis is dedicated to the Fifth Commandment: You shall not kill. The fifth Commandment is do not kill. We are now in the second part of the Decalogue, which concerns relations with one’s neighbour. And this Commandment, with its concise and categorical formulation, stands as a wall of defense of the basic value in human relations. And what is the basic value in human relations? The value of life.[1]Therefore, do not kill.

It could be said that all the evil done in the world is summarized in this: the contempt for life. Life is attacked by wars, by organizations that exploit man — we read in the newspapers or see in the television news so many things — by speculation on creation and the disposable culture, and by all systems that subject human existence to calculations of opportunity, while a scandalous number of people live in a state unworthy of man. This is to scorn life, namely, in some way to kill.

A contradictory approach also permits the suppression of human life in the maternal womb in the name of safeguarding other rights. But how can an act that suppresses innocent and defenseless budding human life be therapeutic, civil or simply human? I ask you: it is right to do away with a human life to solve a problem? Is it right to hire a hitman to solve a problem? One cannot do this, it is not right to do away with a human being, albeit small, to solve a problem. It is like hiring a hitman to solve a problem.

Where does all this come from? Where do violence and the refusal of life come from? From fear. Indeed, the acceptance of the other is a challenge to individualism. Let us think, for example, of when we discover that a nascent life is the bearer of a disability, even a serious one. The parents, in these dramatic cases, need true closeness, true solidarity, to face reality overcoming the understandable fears. Instead, they often receive hasty advice to interrupt the pregnancy, which is a figure of speech: “interrupt the pregnancy” means to “do away with” someone, directly.

A sick baby is like any needy person on earth, as an elderly man who needs help, as so many poor that struggle to go on: he or she who appears as a problem is, in reality, a gift of God that can draw me out of egocentrism and make me grow in love. Vulnerable life points out to us the way out, the way to save us from an inward-looking existence and to discover the joy of love. And I would like to pause here to thank, to thank so many volunteers, to thank the strong Italian voluntary work, which is the strongest I’ve known. Thank you.

And what leads man to reject life? It’s the idols of this world: money — better to take this away from our midst, because it will cost –, power <and> success. These are erroneous parameters to value life. What is the only authentic measure of life? It is love, the love with which God loves it!  The love with which God loves life: this is the measure — the love with which God loves every human life.

In fact, what is the positive meaning of the Word “Do not kill”? That God is “lover of life,” as we heard a short while ago in the biblical Reading.

The secret of life was revealed by the way the Son of God treated it, who made Himself man to assuming, on the cross, rejection, weakness, poverty and pain (Cf. John 13:1). In every sick child, in every weak elderly man, in every desperate migrant, in every fragile and threatened life Christ is seeking us (Cf. Matthew 25:34-46), He is seeking our heart, to unlock for us the joy of love.

It’s worthwhile to receive every life because every man is worth the Blood of Christ Himself (Cf. 1 Peter 1:18-19). One can’t scorn what God has so loved!

We must say to the men and women of the world: don’t scorn life! The life of others, but also one’s own, because for it also the Commandment “Do not kill” is true. So many young people are told: don’t scorn your existence! Stop rejecting God’s work! You are a work of God! Don’t underestimate yourself, don’t scorn yourself with addictions that will ruin you and lead you to death!

No one should measure life according to the deceits of this world, but each one should accept himself and others in the name of the Father who has created us. He is “lover of life”: this is beautiful. “God is lover of life.”  And we are all so dear to Him that He sent His Son for us. The Gospel says, in fact: “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

In Italian

A warm welcome goes to the Italian-speaking pilgrims.

I’m happy to receive the Friars Minor Conventual; the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception.

I greet the schools; the parishes, in particular that of Minors, together with a delegation of Patti, with the Archbishop Orazio Soricelli; and that of Ostra Vetere; the National Consortium of Olive Growers; the delegation of the Municipality of Cervia; the Chamber of Commerce of Viterbo; the Multiple Chemical Sensibility Coordination; the AVIS Association of Catanzaro and the Italian Red Cross of Bellegra.

A particular thought goes to young people, the elderly, the sick and newlyweds.

The month of October is dedicated to the missions and to the prayer of the Holy Rosary. Beloveds, by praying the Rosary, you invoke the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary on all your needs and on the Church, so that she can be ever more holy and missionary, united in going on the roads of the world and in agreement in taking Christ to every man.

[Original text: Italian]  [ZENIT’s translation by Virginia M. Forrester]

[1] Cf. Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Istr. Donum vitae, 5: AAS 80 (1988), 76-77: “Human life is sacred because, from its beginning it implies God’s creative action and remains for ever in a special relationship with the Creator, its one end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning to its end: no one, in any circumstance, can claim for himself the right to destroy directly an innocent human being.”
