Ordinary Time: January 31st

Memorial of St. John Bosco, Priest St. John Bosco was born near Castelnuovo in the archdiocese of Turin, Italy, in 1815. His father died when John was only two years old and it was his mother Margaret who provided him with a good humanistic and Christian education. His early years were financially difficult but at the age of twenty he en-tered the major seminary, thanks to the financial help received from Louis Guala, founder and rector of the ecclesiastical resi-dence St. Francis of Assisi in Turin. John Bosco was ordained a priest on June 5, 1846, and with the help of John Borel he found-ed the oratory of St. Francis de Sales. At this time the city of Turin was on the threshold of the industri-al revolution and as a result there were many challenges and problems, especially for young men. Gifted as he was as an edu-cator and a leader, Don Bosco formulated a system of education based on "reason, religion and kindness." In spite of the criticism and violent attacks of the anti-clericals, he conducted workshops for the tradesmen and manual laborers, schools of arts and sci-ences for young workers, and schools of the liberal arts for those preparing for the priesthood. In 1868 there were 800 students involved in this educational system. To ensure the continuation of his work, Don Bosco founded the Society of St. Francis de Sales (Salesians), which was approved in 1869. Also, with the help of Sister Mary Dominic Mazzarello, he founded the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Auxiliatrix. In 1875 a wave of emigration to Latin America began, and this prompted the inauguration of the Salesian missionary apostolate. Don Bosco became a traveler throughout Europe, seeking funds for the missions. Some of the reports referred to him as "the new St. Vincent de Paul." He also found time to write popular cate-chetical pamphlets, which were distributed throughout Italy, as was his Salesian Bulletin. This great apostle of youth died on January 31, 1888, and was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1934. Pope John Paul II named him "teacher and father to the young." Patron: Apprentices; boys; editors; Mexican young people; la-borers; schoolchildren; students; young people. Prayer: O God, who raised up the Priest Saint John Bosco as a father and teacher of the young, grant we pray, that, aflame with the same fire of love, we may seek out souls and serve you alone. Amen.

“Jesus Christ suffered under Pontius Pilate �was crucified, died, and was buried.”

5 th Sunday in Ordinary time – February 4

112. What is the importance of the Paschal Mystery of Jesus? The Paschal Mystery of Jesus, which comprises his passion, death, resurrection, and glorification, stands at the center of the Christian faith because God's saving plan was accomplished once for all by the redemptive death of his Son Jesus Christ. 113. What were the accusations by which Jesus was con-demned to death? Some of the leaders of Israel accused Jesus of acting against the law, the temple in Jerusalem, and in particular against faith in the one God because he proclaimed himself to be the Son of God. For this reason they handed him over to Pilate so that he might con-demn him to death. 114. How did Jesus conduct himself in regard to the Law of Israel? Jesus did not abolish the Law given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai but he fulfilled it by giving it its definitive interpretation. He himself was the divine Legislator who fully carried out this Law. Furthermore, as the faithful Servant, he offered by means of his expiatory death the only sacrifice capable of making atonement for all the “transgressions committed by men under the first Cov-enant” (Hebrews 9:15). 115. What was the attitude of Jesus toward the temple in Je-rusalem? Jesus was accused of hostility to the temple. On the contrary, he venerated it as “the house of his Father” (John 2:16); and it was there that he imparted an important part of his teaching. However, he also foretold its destruction in connection with his own death and he presented himself as the definitive dwelling place of God among men. 116. Did Jesus contradict Israel's faith in the one God and savior? Jesus never contradicted faith in the one God, not even when he performed the stupendous divine work which fulfilled the messi-anic promises and revealed himself as equal to God, namely the pardoning of sins. However, the call of Jesus to believe in him and to be converted makes it possible to understand the tragic misunderstanding of the Sanhedrin which judged Jesus to be wor-thy of death as a blasphemer. 117. Who is responsible for the death of Jesus? The passion and death of Jesus cannot be imputed indiscriminate-ly either to all the Jews that were living at that time or to their descendants. Every single sinner, that is, every human being is really the cause and the instrument of the sufferings of the Re-deemer; and the greater blame in this respect falls on those above all who are Christians and who the more often fall into sin or de-light in their vices.

118. Why was the death of Jesus part of God's plan? To reconcile to himself all who were destined to die because of sin God took the loving initiative of sending his Son that he might give himself up for sinners. Proclaimed in the Old Testa-ment, especially as the sacrifice of the Suffering Servant, the death of Jesus came about “in accordance with the Scriptures”. 119. In what way did Christ offer himself to the Father? The entire life of Christ was a free offering to the Father to car-ry out his plan of salvation. He gave “his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45) and in this way he reconciled all of hu-manity with God. His suffering and death showed how his hu-manity was the free and perfect instrument of that divine love which desires the salvation of all people. 120. How is Jesus’ offering expressed at the Last Supper? At the Last Supper with his apostles on the eve of his passion Jesus anticipated, that is, both symbolized his free self-offering and made it really present: “This is my Body which is given for you” (Luke 22:19), “This is my Blood which is poured out...” (Matthew 26:28) Thus he both instituted the Eucharist as the “memorial” (1 Corinthians 11:25) of his sacrifice and insti-tuted his apostles as priests of the new covenant. 121. What happened in the Agony in the Garden of Geth-semane? Despite the horror which death represented for the sacred hu-manity of Jesus “who is the Author of Life” (Acts 3:15), the human will of the Son of God remained faithful to the will of the Father for our salvation. Jesus accepted the duty to carry our sins in his Body “becoming obedient unto death” (Philippians 2:8). 122. What are the results of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross? Jesus freely offered his life as an expiatory sacrifice, that is, he made reparation for our sins with the full obedience of his love unto death. This love “to the end” (John 13:1) of the Son of God reconciled all of humanity with the Father. The paschal sacrifice of Christ, therefore, redeems humanity in a way that is unique, perfect, and definitive; and it opens up for them com-munion with God. 123. Why does Jesus call upon his disciples to take up their cross? By calling his disciples to take up their cross and follow him Jesus desires to associate with his redeeming sacrifice those who are to be its first beneficiaries. 124. In what condition was the body of Christ while it lay in the tomb? Christ underwent a real death and a true burial. However, the power of God preserved his body from corruption.
