Update on Fr. Aloysius Cause...

JMJ

June 21 Update - Fr. Aloysius Cause

LOS ANGELES, June 21 -- The tribunal contacted all the witnesses. Those who responded were either interviewed or provided a written statement about Fr. Aloysius. Witness testimonies are finished and have been transcribed. The tribunal will write a statement about the witnesses who did not respond to them or who have passed away. We already have a sufficient number for the inquiry.

The Tribunal in Phoenix that is investigating the possible miracle has let me know that they have almost completed their work. It is possible for us to plan the Closing Session for that inquiry this Fall, since I'll be travelling to the U.S. again. We hope to close the two inquiries on the same trip.

We ask everyones prayers for this intention... that we complete the Archdiocesean inquiry in the Fall of 2022.

In the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

LOS ANGELES, June 20, 2022 /Standard Newswire/ -- This week's gathering of the U.S. Catholic Bishops in San Diego during the Summer Solstice recalls the bishops meeting in Baltimore when they heard the request by Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles regarding a saintly priest, Father Aloysius and his Sainthood Cause. Some were surprised by reference to a "mystical grace" within Catholic belief of the Eucharist, the center of Catholic worship. Catholics believe that the bread and wine consecrated by the priest at Mass becomes the real Body and Blood of Christ vs. a mere symbol.

Father Aloysius was reported to have "retained the sacred species from Communion to Communion." At their meeting Cardinal Justin Rigali and Bishop Placido Rodriguez explained how the founder of the Claretian Missionaries, St. Anthony Mary Claret, had experienced this "same mystic grace." Father Aloysius emulated his founder, and it's not surprising that he would have experienced this same mystical grace. This "retaining the sacred species" had been examined by Rome when Archbishop Claret was canonized in 1950. USCCB bishops voted to support the sainthood cause for Fr. Aloysius Ellacuria, CMF at their 2015 annual meeting.

Born on June 21, 1905, the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, Father Aloysius was baptized the following day, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. Since childhood, Fr. Aloysius additionally had a special devotion to St. Michael the Archangel. Coincidentally, on June 21st of each year, Aloysius' birthday, the sun sets on a direct line where seven monasteries of Europe are located. This line has been called St. Michael's Sword. Father Aloysius, known as a miracle worker, dedicated a Prayer Guild to St. Michael's patronage, whose protection he counted upon and referenced.

As the USCCB bishops meet in San Diego to ponder again the mystery of the Eucharist, the Corpus Christi, they will continue to be edified by the example of Father Aloysius, who drew strength from "the Body and Blood of Christ," so much so, that the holy man attributed the greatest efficacy in his priestly ministry to this special Eucharistic grace.
