18th Sunday in Ordinary Time - August 2, 2020

Blessed Father Justin Russolillo, S.D.V. (January 18, 1891 - August 2, 1955)

FOUNDER OF THE VOCATIONIST FATHERS Feast Day: August 2nd

F r. Justin Maria Russolillo, the Founder of the Society of Divine Vocations, was born in Pianura (Naples, Italy) on January 18th, 1891.

He was ordained a priest on September 20th, 1913. No sooner had he become the pastor of Pianura on September 20, 1920 than he began working for the realization of his dream. That same year, the first community of the Society of Divine Vocations, which became known as the VOCATIONIST FATHERS came into being. The Society of Divine Vocations received its first Diocesan approval on May 26, 1927. It became a Congregation of Pontifical Right on May 24th, 1947.

Fr. Justin established the Vocationist Fathers as an end to their special charism to foster and promote vocations to the priesthood, religious life, and holiness among all God’s people. To carry on this vocational work Fr. Justin established the Vocationary, a special house of formation that would supply vocations to both religious order and diocesan seminaries.

For those who are undecided whether they wish to be a Vocationist, a Diocesan priest or a member of another religious community, the Vocationist Fathers offer the Vocationary as a place of vocational discernment. The Vocationary was established to specially attend to the needs of those financially unable to attend the seminary and to those who are still searching and discerning their vocation. By establishing the Vocationary, Fr. Justin focused his attention not only on candidates seeking a religious or priestly vocation, but also on those who had left the priesthood or who were in danger of doing so. Thus, the Vocationary has often given life to those who had abandoned the active ministry.

Fr. Justin died on August 2nd, 1955 at Vocationist Fathers Motherhouse in Pianura.

On December 18th, 1997, Pope John Paul II recognized Fr. Justin’s heroic virtues and proclaimed him Venerable. On July 1st, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI signed the decree of validity of the miracle

by Fr. Justin’s intercession to Ida Meloro of East Hanover, New Jersey (USA). The ceremony of beatification took place on May 7th, 2011 in Pianura (Naples, Italy), birthplace of Fr. Justin.

The Vocationists’ spirituality stem from Fr. Justin’s conviction that all people are called to holiness. Their “first duty” is to be with God. Their ultimate goal is to achieve Divine Union. They are called to establish and live the relationship of “child, parent and spouse” of God on the pattern of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The Blessed Trinity, the

Holy Family, and the Catholic Church, are the heart and center of their spirituality, which may be summarized thus: “Ascension to the Trinity with the Holy Family in the Church.”

“O my God and my all! Grant that I may dedicate my life

to knowing, loving and serving Your Divine Persons in every creature,

and Your Will in every event which takes place independently from my will.

Grant that I may be an act of love, a gift of love, a service of love,

a conversation of love, a communion of love,

O my God and my All!”

Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario - 2 de agosto de 2020

Beato Padre Justin Russolillo, S.D.V. (18 de enero de 1891 - 2 de agosto de 1955)

FUNDADOR DE LOS PADRES VOCACIONISTAS Día de fiesta: 2 de agosto

E l p. Justin Maria Russolillo, el fundador de la sociedad de Divinas Vocaciones, nació en Pianura (Nápoles, Italia) el 18 de enero de 1891.

Fue ordenado a sacerdote el 20 de septiembre de 1913. Antes no había convertido él en el pastor de Pianura en 20 de septiembre de 1920 que comenzó a trabajar para la realización de su sueño. Ese mismo año, la primera comunidad de la Sociedad de Vocaciones Divinas, que llegó a ser conocido como los PADRES VOCACIONISTAS entró en vigor. La Sociedad de Divinas Vocaciones recibió su primera aprobación diocesana en 26 de mayo de 1927. Se convirtió en una congregación de Pontificio en 24 de mayo de 1947.

P. Justin estableció a los Padres Vocacionistas como el fin de su carisma especial para fomentar y promover las vocaciones al sacerdocio, vida religiosa y santidad entre todo el pueblo de Dios. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo vocacional p. Justin estableció el Vocationary, una casa especial de formación que proveería las vocaciones tanto orden religiosa y seminarios diocesanos.

Para aquellos que están indecisos si desean ser un Vocacionistas, un sacerdote diocesano o un miembro de otra comunidad religiosa, los Padres Vocacionistas ofrecen la Vocationary como un lugar de discernimiento vocacional. El Vocationary fue establecido para atender especialmente a las necesidades de aquellos que no puedan asistir al seminario financieramente y a aquellos que todavía están buscando y discerniendo su vocación. Mediante el establecimiento de la Vocationary, el p. Justin centrado su atención no sólo a los candidatos que buscan una vocación sacerdotal o religiosa, sino también en aquellos que habían dejado el sacerdocio o que estaban en peligro de hacerlo. Asi, el Vocationary a menudo ha dado vida a aquellos que habian abandonado el Ministerio active.

El p. Justin murió el 2 de agosto de 1955 en casa madre de Padres Vocacionistas en Pianura.

El 18 de diciembre de 1997 Papa John Paul II reconoció las virtudes heroicas de p. Justin y lo declaró Venerable. El 1° de julio de 2010 el Papa Benedicto XVI firmó el decreto de validez del milagro por

intercesión del p. Justin a Ida Meloro de East Hanover, Nueva Jersey (Estados Unidos). La ceremonia de beatificación tuvo lugar el 7 de mayo de 2011 en Pianura (Nápoles, Italia), lugar de nacimiento de p. Justin.

Vástago de la espiritualidad de la Vocationists de convicción de p. Justin que todas las personas son llamadas a la santidad. Su "primera obligación" es estar con Dios. Su objetivo es lograr la Unión divina. Están llamados a establecer y vivir la relación de "niño, padre y esposo" de Dios en el patrón de Jesús, María y José. La Santísima Trinidad, la sagrada familia y la

iglesia católica, son el corazón y el centro de su espiritualidad, que puede resumirse así: "La ascensión a la Trinidad con la sagrada familia en la iglesia".

“¡Oh mi Dios y mi todo! Dame el regalo que puedo dedicar mi vidapara

conocer, amar y server tu divina personas en cada criatura, y tu voluntad en todos los eventosque

ocurre independientemente de mi voluntad. Dame el regalo que yo sea

un acto de amor, un regalo de amor, un servicio de amor,

una conversación de amor, una comunión de amor.

¡Oh mi Dios y mi todo!”
