  • The Maronite Catholic Church in the Holy Land
    The Maronite Catholic Church in the Holy Land The maronite church of Our Lady of Annunciation in Nazareth Deacon Habib Sandy from Haifa, in Israel, presents in this article one of the Catholic communities of the Holy Land, the Maronites. The Maronite Church was founded between the late 4th and early 5th century in Antioch (in the north of present-day Syria). Its founder, St. Maron, was a monk around whom a community began to grow. Over the centuries, the Maronite Church was the only Eastern Church to always be in full communion of faith with the Apostolic See of Rome. This is a Catholic Eastern Rite (Syrian-Antiochian). Today, there are about three million Maronites worldwide, including nearly a million in Lebanon. Present times are particularly severe for Eastern Christians. While we are monitoring the situation in Syria and Iraq on a daily basis, we are very concerned about the situation of Christians in other countries like Libya and Egypt. It’s true that the situation of Christians in the Holy Land is acceptable in terms of safety, however, there is cause for concern given the events that took place against Churches and monasteries, and the recent fire, an act committed against the Tabgha Monastery on the Sea of Galilee. Unfortunately in Israeli society there are some Jewish fanatics, encouraged by figures such as Bentsi Gopstein declaring his animosity against Christians and calling his followers to eradicate all that is not Jewish in the Holy Land. This last statement is especially serious and threatens the Christian presence which makes up only 2% of the population in Israel and Palestine.

Jon Cruz Simonetta Falsca-Zamponi John Mohr Denise Bielby, Committee Chair December 2018 Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 Copyright © 2018 by Jamila Jamison Sinlao iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In so many ways, this dissertation is a labor of love, shaped by the formative years that I spent as a student at Mercy High School, Burlingame. There, the “Mercy spirit”—one of hospitality and generosity, resilience and faith—was illustrated by the many stories we heard about Catherine McAuley and Mary Baptist Russell. The questions that guide this project grew out of my Mercy experience, and so I would like to thank the many teachers, both lay and religious, who nurtured my interest in this fascinating slice of history. This project would not have been possible without the archivists who not only granted me the privilege to access their collections, but who inspired me with their passion, dedication, and deep historical knowledge. I am indebted to Chris Doan, former archivist for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sister Marilyn Gouailhardou, RSM, regional community archivist for the Sisters of Mercy Burlingame; Sister Margaret Ann Gainey, DC, archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Seton Provincialate; Kathy O’Connor, archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, California Province; and Sister Michaela O’Connor, SHF, archivist for the Sisters of the Holy Family.

    The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion 1694-1775 Volume 1 – 1694-1741 Father Louis Therese of Jesus Agonizing, C.P. 1873 Fr. Simon Woods, C.P. (Translated from the third French Edition) 1959 (INDEX TO VOLUME ONE ON FINAL PAGES) DEDICATION to HIS EMINENCE FERDINAND CARDINAL DONNET Archbishop of Bordeaux Your Eminence, The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross, which it is my privilege to dedicate to you, may rightfully be called your very own. Without your Eminence the work may not have been completed, and I may never have realized the idea that I had in mind for a very long time. It is then the humble fruit of a tree planted by your own hands in the vineyard confided to your care by the Heavenly Father. It was when your Eminence was in Rome for the Beatification of our holy Founder that you obtained from His Holiness Pope Pius IX the sons of Saint Paul of the Cross for your Archdiocese… And, if this little family was welcome and took its humble beginnings in the fruitful soil of France under your protection and guidance, is it not due to your paternal interest and initiative? Soon, it is true, a learned and zealous clergy imitated your zeal; but in those days of supreme struggle, of unceasing conflict against the rights of the Church, your Eminence realized that it is necessary that zeal be united with learning, especially when the war “against the Lord and his Christ” becomes so universal.

As the oft-proclaimed Father of Western Mo- nasticism (480–547 CE), he reserved his highest praise for the cenobites—those monks Swho lived in community under a rule and an abbot. But he began his own ministry as a hermit monk, only later amassing a following of confreres. Listen to what Benedict says in his rule in chapter 1, “The Kinds of Monks”: [T]here are the anchorites or hermits, who have come through the test of living in a monastery for a long time, and have passed beyond the fi rst fervor of monastic life. Thanks to the help and guidance of many, they are now trained to fi ght against the devil.

  • Women of the Book: the Spiritual Lives of Early Modern Women
    Wom en of the Book: The Spiritual Lives of Early Modern Women Women of the Book: The Spiritual Lives of Early Modern Women We offer a collection of 650 books, pamphlets, broadsides, and manuscripts focused mainly on the intersections between convent culture and print. The vast majority of the items (90%) date to the 17th and 18th centuries, when this relationship was at its most fertile. As the collection reveals, convents provided important centers of reading, instruction, and writing for women in Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland. The rapid spread of female monastic orders (the Poor Clares, Ursulines, Discalced Carmelites, Visitadines, and so on) is re- flected well in the translations and adaptations of biographies of notable nuns. Gathering together a statistically significant num- ber of such biographies, we can perhaps begin to address broad questions of who was writing them, why they were written, and who was supposed to read them (reflected in the large number of ownership inscriptions found on these books). The approxi- mately 350 biographies also invite analysis of common themes in the lives of ‘venerable’ women: age of first religious experience; age at marriage or refusal of marriage; medical afflictions; death of children; and overall lifespan (an astonishing number did not reach the age of 30). Beyond biographies, we have focused on conduct-books for nuns, rules and regulations of convents, spiritual texts written by laywomen, ephemera produced to commemorate nuns and their professions of faith, and even on the legal difficulties faced by convents. The present prospectus offers a brief overview of dif- ferent aspects of this collection.

  • Archivio Generale St. Louis Province
    INVENTORY OF THE ST. LOUIS PROVINCE COLLECTION (12) REDEMPTORIST GENERAL ARCHIVE, ROME Prepared by Patrick J. Hayes, Ph.D., Archivist Redemptorist Archives of the Baltimore Province 7509 Shore Road Brooklyn, New York, USA 11209 718-833-1900 Email: [email protected] The Redemptorists’ Denver Province (12) has a historic beginning and storied career. Formally erected as a sister province of the Baltimore Province in 1875, it was initially known as the Vice-Province of St. Louis. It eventually divided again between regional foundations in Chicago, New Orleans, and Oakland. The Denver Province presently affiliates with the Vice- Provinces of Bangkok and Manaus and hosts the external province of Vietnam. Today, the classification system at the Archivio Generale Redentoristi (AGR), has retained the name of the original St. Louis Province in identifying the collection associated with this unit of the Redemptorist family. A good place to begin to understand the various permutations of the St. Louis Province is through the work of Father Peter Geiermann’s Annals of the St. Louis Province (1924) in three thick volumes. Unfortunately, it has never been updated. The Province awaits its own full-scale history. The St. Louis Province covered a large swath of the United States at one point—from Whittier, California to Detroit, Michigan and Seattle, Washington to New Orleans, Louisiana. Redemptorists of this province were present in cities such as Wichita and Kansas City, Fresno and Grand Rapids, San Francisco and San Antonio. Their formation houses reached into Missouri, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Schools could be found in Oakland and Detroit. Their shrines in Chicago, New Orleans, and St.

  • The Meaning of the Evangelical Counsels
    15/6: The individual and the community - Morning As we have observed, Angela’s idea of experience of the sacred does not give particular significance to institutional aspects. In connection with this characteristic of Angela’s spirituality, we find one of the most interesting aspects of her Company, the respect and consideration for the individual. Angela “invented” a form of consecration, which has at its centre the individual and her humanity. As we will see this does not mean that Angela does not consider important the collective aspect of the Company. Angela’s idea was rooted in two main historical grounds. One we have already seen, the exclusion of women from the powerful and institutional aspects of religion, the other has to do with the centrality of interiority and humanity in the making of the Western concept of the self. Introduction to the concept of the Self The perception that societies have of the “self ” changes through history, and, like the concept of “time”, is a key concept for understanding a culture. The first category that defines the self is the relationship between the individual and the community: do we see ourselves as unique individuals or more like a part of a collective identity? Another aspect concerning the self is the perception of the relationship between the interior and exterior self: how is it viewed the relationship between what we do/say and how we think and feel? Today we are more aware than ever of the complexity of our inner world, which has been enriched by the discovery of the unconscious, which makes the correspondence between interiority and exteriority even more complicated.

  • Juana, S.J. : the Past (And Future?) Status of Women in the Society of Jesus
    JESUITS Juana, S.J.: The Past (and Future?) Status of Women in the Society of Jesus Lisa Fullam 31/5 • NOVEMBER 1999 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY The Seminar is composed of a number of Jesuits appointed from their provinc the United States. It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and prac- tice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIES IN THE SPIRITUALIT JESUITS. This is done in the spirit of Vatican IPs recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR William A. Barry, S.J., directs the tertianship program and is a writer at Cam- pion Renewal Center, Weston, MA (1999). Richard A. Blake, S.J., teaches film studies at Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA (1998). Philip J. Chmielewski, S.J., teaches religious social ethics at Loyola University, Chicago, IL (1998). Richard J.
