  • The Life of Mary Aikenhead Part 2879.06 KB
    A short synopsis of the life of Mother Mary Aikenhead Part Two Mary begins to focus on religious life Mary began to think seriously of devoting her life full-time and as a religious to helping the poor in their homes but for the present she felt obliged to help her ailing mother in the management of the household. The Ursuline and Presentation Sisters, whose convents were nearby, were bound to enclosure. Even in the whole of Ireland at this period there was no convent that allowed its members to move outside the enclosure. When Mary discussed this with Cecilia Lynch, Cecilia informed her that she herself was joining the Poor Clares in Harold’s Cross, Dublin. An unexpected, life-changing meeting Then on 30 November 1807, when Mary was 20 years of age, a providential meeting took place at the Ursuline convent in Cork. Mary met Anna Maria Ball of Dublin, a wealthy woman in her own right who was married to a rich Dublin merchant, John O’Brien. She had come to Cork for the religious profession of her sister, Cecilia. Accompanying her was another sister, Frances or Fanny, the future founder of the Loretto sisters. Mary Aikenhead found that she had met a kindred spirit in Anna Maria. Mary already knew from her friend, Cecilia Lynch that Anna Maria devoted a great deal of her time in Dublin to the care of the poor and afflicted. Before leaving Cork, Mrs. O’Brien invited Mary to spend some time with her in Dublin. The invitation was gladly accepted.

  • BASIC COURSE On
    BASIC COURSE on Franciscan- Missionary Charism The Franciscan Family Lesson Unit 2 he documents of Vatican II, Pope Paul VI's Evangelii Nuntiandi, and Pope John Paul II's Redemptoris Missio have deeply affected the understanding of mission. Constant efforts are being made to clarify its purpose and T objectives, and to determine the most appropriate methods to carry it out. Go, Rebuild My Church: A Comprehen- sive Course on the Franciscan Mission Charism, provides a particular context to stimulate dialogue about the many dimensions of mission and the inevitable recognition of the equality, dignity and humanity of all persons. The course is unique, since it is genuinely inter-Franciscan and inter-cultural. An ongoing process for exchange among all members of the Franciscan Family from six continents provides for a creative meshing of the best in current theology, Franciscan research and pastoral practice. The vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent our search for a fuller understanding of humanity in the light of the Gospel and the Person of Jesus Christ. As Franciscans, with the world as our "cloister," we welcome this refreshing moment of intercultural dialogue. Fran- cis was the first among founders to situate the missionary dimension of the Gospel call clearly within his rule. This study reawakens us to the challenge and genuineness of Francis' message for our own times.

  • Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Jamila Jamison Sinlao Committee in charge: Professor Denise Bielby, Chair Professor Jon Cruz Professor Simonetta Falasca-Zamponi Professor John Mohr December 2018 The dissertation of Jamila Jamison Sinlao is approved. 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.

  • Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, with the COVID-19
    Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, With the COVID-19 restrictions that have been in place for the last year, the Adult Education Committee has been unable to offer the type of programming that we have in past years. In light of this reality, we have decided to put together a list of books compiled from those which Msgr. Tom, our deacons, and the Adult Education Committee members have found helpful in our respective faith journeys and which we hope could be useful for you as well. Titles on this list could also serve as summer reading since many of us will again be unable to take the type of family vacations that we have in the past. Additionally, our parish library, located in the Manning Center, has a very good collection of books which you may borrow. We sincerely hope that you find some of these titles to be spiritually nourishing and helpful for your personal faith journey. May God Bless you, The St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Rich Furney, Jane Guido, Janine Hughey, Lisa Irwin, Kathi Lovell, Sue Maneikis, and Kathy Waldron Page 1 of 11 Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Foundational Reading The Bible The Catholic Edition of any translation, usually denoted by CE, is preferable. Be aware that if you are using a Protestant edition, it will be missing seven books from the Old Testament.

  • Spirituality of Dominican Monastic Life
    Dominican Monastic Life: Reflections (selected part of a dissertation text, copied with author’s permission) by Elizabeth Elive Chapter 3 Dominican Monastic Life: Ideal And Spirituality 3.1 A brief Historical Review 3.1.1 The general climate of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries Dominican monastic life came into being at a critical period in history when the old order of medieval society was fast changing and giving way to the emergence of new. Secular and ecclesiastical societies were experiencing what seemed a great upheaval as new institutions sprang into being to answer new needs. All sectors of society: political, economic, intellectual and religious, were experiencing the impact of the said upheaval, with their interaction itself accentuating it. In the political and economic milieu, feudalism was giving way to the rule by communes in a struggle by which the latter wrested power from feudal lords. The Church’s involvement in the feudal system brought the same struggle within it. Prelates and clerics, usually owners of large estates, found themselves actively engaged in protecting their rights against an encroaching commune to the sad neglect of their Christian flock. There was likewise a revival of intellectual interests in the 12th and 13th centuries. Latin translations of the Greek philosophers were making the latter’s teaching available to the West, and those who wanted to could avail themselves of this knowledge in the new universities springing up to answer this need. But interest was not limited to the philosophers. A general yearning for true religion and a revived interest in Scripture was manifesting itself among the ordinary Christian.

  • Contemplative Prayer Key Terms Related to Contemplative Prayer in Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross
    Study guide for Contemplative prayer Key Terms Related to Contemplative Prayer in Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross Consolations – a broad term referring to a variety of supernatural experiences with God. Also called “favors.” (What Charismatics might refer to as “encounters”). Contemplation – “a deep love communion with the triune God. By depth here we mean a knowing loving that we cannot produce but only receive. It is not merely a mentally expressed ‘I love You’. It is a wordless awareness and love that we of ourselves cannot initiate or prolong” (Dubay, Fire Within, 57). For John of the Cross, “The communication of God untied to the senses, or the particular, received passively by the spirit in an attitude of faith and love, of general loving attention. Also called mystical theology. May be referred to as infused because the soul receives it passively, just as one receives sunlight by doing no more than opening the shutters. Takes away the satisfaction associated with discursive [i.e., meditative] prayer” (See “Glossary of Terms” in The Collect Works of St. John of the Cross, 768.) Detachment – “The equivalent of poverty of spirit, refers to a freedom from the appetites [i.e., disordered longings/desires] so that the heart may be surrendered entirely to God in the union of faith, hope, and love” John of the Cross equates this to spiritual poverty (See “Glossary of Terms” in The Collect Works of St. John of the Cross, 768.) Faculties of the Soul – The three elements or operations of the human soul which make the soul human rather than animal.

All rights reserved. TO WILLIAM ROTHENSTEIN INTRODUCTION AFEW days ago I said to a distinguished Bengali doctor of medicine, " I know no German, yet if a translation of a German poet had moved me, I would go to the British Museum and find books in English that would tell me something of his life, and of the history of his thought. But though these prose translations from Rabindra Nath Tagore have stirred my blood as nothing has for years, I shall not know anything of his life, and of the movements of thought that have made them possible, if some Indian traveller will not tell me." It seemed to him natural that I should be moved, for he said, " I read Rabindra Nath every day, to read one line of his is to forget all the troubles of the world." I said, "An Englishman living in London in the reign of Richard the Second, had he been shown translations from Petrarch or from Dante, would have found no books to answer his questions, but would have questioned some Floren- tine banker or Lombard merchant as I question you.
