    Father Joseph Iannuzzi

    WHO IS FATHER IANNUZZI?

    Rev. Joseph Leo Iannuzzi is a doctoral alumnus of the Gregorian Pontifical University of Rome. He has obtained 5 post-graduate degrees, with studies in medicine, music, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and theology.
    As a young medical student, Joseph traveled to a Marian shrine in 1988 where he was inspired to enter the seminary. In 1991 he obtained a Ph.B. in Philosophy and was awarded the Kilburn Award. While assigned for 15 years in Italy, Rev. Iannuzzi studied Italian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and other languages. He also obtained an STB, M. Div., STL and STD, Ph.D. in Theology, with specialization in patristics, dogmatics and mysticism.
    Rev. Iannuzzi was one of four selected students to receive a grant from the Pontifical Biblicum University of Rome to study theology in the Holy Land. While in Rome he assisted the exorcist of Rome, Fr. Gabriel Amorth, and has written several books on prophecy and revelation. He appeared on EWTN and was host of several television and national radio broadcasts. He has translated numerous theological works into English and has authored seven publications.
    Rev. Iannuzzi’s first exposure to the writings of the Italian mystic Luisa Piccarreta occurred over twenty years ago while making a holy hour in a Trappist monastery. By a stroke of providence, there lay on the empty pew before him a volume of Luisa. After having read it, he discovered on the monastery windowsill a pamphlet of the same mystic. The following day a senior nun (now deceased) approached him and asked if he might be interested in translating Luisa’s works from Italian to English. He accepted this task.
    In 2012 Rev. Iannuzzi successfully completed his doctorate in theology at the Gregorian Pontifical University of Rome, and he has translated into English all of Luisa’s writings that are cited in his doctoral dissertation and are approved by the Pontifical University that is authorized by the Holy See. He has authored over 20 publications and has translated numerous works on mystical and dogmatic theology. Fr. Joseph is presently the Theological Consultant (peritus) in the Cause of Beatification of several Catholic mystics.

  • GOD’S KINGDOM

    NOTE ON JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES BIBLE NEW WORLD TRANSLATION TEACHING THAT THE KINGDOM IS ONLY “AMONG” OR “IN THE MIDST” OF THE DISCIPLES BECAUSE JESUS THE KING WAS PHYSICALLY PRESENT WHICH IS ONLY THE CHRISTOLOGY DIMENSION PERSPECTIVE OF THE KINGDOM : THEY OMITTHE MEANING THAT THE KINGDOM IS ALSO “IN/WITHIN” OR “INSIDE” OUR HEARTS



    CATHOLIC BIBLE TRANSLATION AND NOTE

    MUST READ THE 3 DIMENSIONS OF GOD’S KINGDOM: What is the Kingdom of God?

    https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/what-is-the-kingdom-of-god

    The Christological Dimension

    Here we see that “the Kingdom is not a thing, it is not a geographical dominion like worldly kingdoms. It is a person; it is he. On this interpretation, the term ‘Kingdom of God’ is itself a veiled Christology. By the way in which he speaks of the Kingdom of God, Jesus leads men to realize the overwhelming fact that in him God himself is present among them, that he is God’s presence.” (Pope Benedict, Jesus of Nazareth, Part 1)

    The Idealistic/Mystical Dimension

    Here we see that The Kingdom of God resides in the heart of man. Church Father, Origen wrote, “those who pray for the coming of the Kingdom of God pray without any doubt for the Kingdom of God that they contain in themselves, and they pray that this kingdom might bear fruit and attain its fullness.”

    The Ecclesiastical Dimension

    Here we see that the kingdom of God is in the here and now, present in and through the Church. Yet it is a mixed reality that will only be perfectly realized at the end of history. This current “mixed” state can be seen as the Church on earth which now grows in the field of the world with both weeds and wheat until the harvest when Christ says he will “tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned. But gather the wheat into my barn” (Matt 13:30). 

    Kingdom of God

    Signifies not so much the actual kingdom as the sway of the king

    https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/kingdom-of-god

    In the second petition of the “Our Father”—”Thy kingdom come”—we are taught to pray as well for grace as for glory. As men grew to understand the Divinity of Christ they grew to see that the kingdom of God was also that of Christ—it was here that the faith of the good thief excelled: “Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.” So, too, as men realized that this kingdom stood for a certain tone of mind, and saw that this peculiar spirit was enshrined in the Church, they began to speak of the Church as “the kingdom of God“; cf. Col., i, 13; I Thess., ii, 12; Apoc., i, 6, 9; v, 10, etc. The kingdom was regarded as Christ’s, and He presents it to the Father; cf. I Cor., xv, 23-28; II Tim., iv, 1. The kingdom of God means, then, the ruling of God in our hearts; it means those principles which separate us off from the kingdom of the world and the devil; it means the benign sway of grace; it means the Church as that Divine institution whereby we may make sure of attaining the spirit of Christ and so win that ultimate kingdom of God where He reigns without end in “the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God” (Apoc., xxi, 2).

    GOD’S KINGDOM WITH JESUS REIGNING INSIDE OUR HEARTS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BRING PEACE

    SAINT LOUIS MARIA GRIGNON DE MONTFORT

    Tratado de la Verdadera Devoción…, núms. 12-38
    Si queréis comprender a la Madre, dice un santo, comprended al Hijo, pues es una Madre digna de Dios: Que aquí toda lengua enmudezca. Para demostrar que la divina María ha estado desco nocida hasta ahora, y que es una de las razones por las cuales Jesucristo no es conocido como debe serlo. Si, pues, como es cierto, el reino de Jesucristo ha de venir al mundo, no será sino con secuencia necesaria del conocimiento del reino de la Santísima Virgen María, que le trajo al mundo la vez primera y le hará resplandecer en la segunda venida. Confieso con toda la Iglesia que no siendo María sino una pura criatura salida de las manos del Altísimo, comparada con la Majestad infinita es menos que un átomo, o más bien nada, puesto que sólo Dios es quien es, y por consiguien te, confieso que este gran Señor, Ser soberano y absoluto, ni ha tenido ni ahora tiene necesidad alguna de la Santísima Virgen para hacer su voluntad santísima y para manifestar su gloria. Basta que Dios quiera, para que todo se haga. Digo, sin embargo, que así y todo, habiendo querido Dios empezar y concluir sus más grandes obras por la Santísima Virgen desde que la formó, es de creer que no cambiará de conducta en el transcurso de los siglos, pues es Dios y no varía en sus sentimientos ni en su proceder. María es la Reina del cielo y de la tierra por la gracia, como Jesús es Rey por naturaleza y por conquista; pues el reino de Jesucristo consiste principalmente en el corazón y en el interior del hombre, según estas palabras: “EI reino de Dios está dentro de vosotros”, del mismo modo el reino de la Santísima Virgen está principalmente en el interior del hombre, es decir, en las almas, y en las almas es en donde principalmente está más glorificada con su Hijo que en todas las criaturas visibles, y podemos llamarla con los santos, Reina de los corazones.

    The Christological Dimension when speaking BEFORE THE INTRODUCTION OF EUCHARIST and addressing NON-BELIEVERS: “The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within You”

    https://www.catholic.com/qa/the-kingdom-of-heaven-is-within-you

    Question:

    What did Christ mean when he said, “The kingdom of heaven is within you?”

    Answer:

    The words of Jesus you cite, “The kingdom of God is within you,” is from Luke 17:21 and was delivered to the Pharisees. A better translation is provided in the RSV Catholic Second Edition:

    Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

    Given that the question came from the Pharisees who largely opposed him, it’s difficult to think that Jesus meant the Pharisees had embraced the kingdom of heaven. Even his closest disciples, including the apostles, had not yet been baptized, by which they and all Christians become “temples of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6:9), i.e., in which God and the power of his kingdom dwells with us.

    Given the time frame in which Jesus spoke his words, “the kingdom of God is in the midst of you” refers to his being the King and that he was in their midst advancing his kingdom through his teaching, including the Sermon on the Mount, and the signs and wonders that also illustrated what his kingdom would be like. So Jesus was teaching the Pharisees and others that the kingdom was available to them, within their reach, if only they became his disciples. It’s an implicit reference to their made in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26-27), and that they thereby had the God-given ability to cooperate with God’s grace to make the kingdom of God a reality.

    II. Heaven

    1023 Those who die in God’s grace and friendship and are perfectly purified live for ever with Christ. They are like God for ever, for they “see him as he is,” face to face:596

    By virtue of our apostolic authority, we define the following: According to the general disposition of God, the souls of all the saints . . . and other faithful who died after receiving Christ’s holy Baptism (provided they were not in need of purification when they died, . . . or, if they then did need or will need some purification, when they have been purified after death, . . .) already before they take up their bodies again and before the general judgment – and this since the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into heaven – have been, are and will be in heaven, in the heavenly Kingdom and celestial paradise with Christ, joined to the company of the holy angels. Since the Passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, these souls have seen and do see the divine essence with an intuitive vision, and even face to face, without the mediation of any creature.597

    1024 This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity – this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed – is called “heaven.” Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.

    1025 To live in heaven is “to be with Christ.” the elect live “in Christ,”598 but they retain, or rather find, their true identity, their own name.599

    For life is to be with Christ; where Christ is, there is life, there is the kingdom.600

    1026 By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has “opened” heaven to us. the life of the blessed consists in the full and perfect possession of the fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ. He makes partners in his heavenly glorification those who have believed in him and remained faithful to his will. Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ.

    1027 This mystery of blessed communion with God and all who are in Christ is beyond all understanding and description. Scripture speaks of it in images: life, light, peace, wedding feast, wine of the kingdom, the Father’s house, the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise: “no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.”601

    1028 Because of his transcendence, God cannot be seen as he is, unless he himself opens up his mystery to man’s immediate contemplation and gives him the capacity for it. the Church calls this contemplation of God in his heavenly glory “the beatific vision”:

    How great will your glory and happiness be, to be allowed to see God, to be honored with sharing the joy of salvation and eternal light with Christ your Lord and God, . . . to delight in the joy of immortality in the Kingdom of heaven with the righteous and God’s friends.602

    1029 In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to fulfill God’s will in relation to other men and to all creation. Already they reign with Christ; with him “they shall reign for ever and ever.”603
