Tuesday, December 1

BLESSED GIOVANNI (John) DA VERCELLI (Italy, 1205-1283
Dominican, Teacher, Preacher, Papal legate
A man of towering achievement who lived in an age of saints and worked with many of them
(E.G., Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, St. Louis of France, Bernardine
of Siena), he came close to being elected Pope at one time in his long career, and served
two Popes but was not beatified until 1903. A secular priest, he taught at the University
of Paris and became a Dominican after his best students all joined the order. He went on
to be the sixth Dominican master-general, an office he held until his death. Meanwhile,
Gregory IX sent him to make peace among warring papal states and to settle a dispute
between France and Castile. He wrote the Schema for the second Council of Lyons in 1274,
which was called to fight the Albigensian heresy, among other things. He attended the Council
with Bonaventure (Aquinas died on his way to the Council), and founded the Holy Name
Society against blasphemy, perjury and immorality. The male sodality continues to be active
throughout the world today.




OR for 11/30-12/01/09:

Illustration: Icon of St. Andrew.
No photos from the Sunday Angelus, but the Holy Father's homily rates the headline on Page 1:

At the Angelus, the Pope says Christ's message is not only for believers:
'Christ is the trustworthy hope for all men'

Other papal stories: the Pope's letter to Patriarch Bartholomew on the Feast of St. Andrew yesterday; his homily at Vespers to mark the start of Advent last Saturday (right photo, above); and his message to an international Congress on the dialog among science, theology and philosophy, 400 years after Galileo's invention of the telescope; and his audience with the President of Peru. In the inside pages, three stories in tribute to the French Jesuit Fr. Pierre Blet, the Vatican historian who compiled the 12-volume preliminary documentation of Pius XII's wartime activities - he died yesterday of a heart infarct at age 91. John Paul II used to say "Read Fr. Blet" whenever the subject of Pius XII and the Shoah came up. Page 1 international news: Iran defies the world by announcing ten new sites for enriching uranium; and 32 million Americans now use food stamps.



THE POPE'S DAY
At 7:30 this morning, the Holy Father celebrated Mass at the Pauline Chapel with the members
of the International Theological Commission which is holding its annual plenary this week.
(As the Pope extemporizes his homily on occasions like this, the Vatican has not yet posted a text.)



THE POPE'S PRAYER INTENTIONS
FOR DECEMBER 2009



General Intention:
That children may be respected and loved and never be the victims of exploitation in its various forms.

Mission Intention:
That at Christmas the peoples of the earth may recognize in the Word Incarnate the light which illuminates
every man, and that the Nations may open their doors to Christ, the Saviour of the world
