Without preparation, we may arrive at Christmas morning without first quietly considering and preparing for the gift of the Nativity. Advent is a season of quiet preparation in the home and the heart, and this atmosphere is cultivated carefully in our plans and activities. Consider first. As you consider the pages and ideas here (some are my own, most are compiled and gathered from other resources listed at the end of the book), and plan what you will bring into your own home as you set the atmosphere of preparation during Advent, please consider your family and your own time availability. One does not have to check off everything listed here to enjoy a beautiful and rich Advent! When we began celebrating the liturgical year as a family, I had a handful of holy cards, a liturgical year calendar, and a great desire to tap into the richness the Church offered through the rhythm of Her year.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

  • By Uta Goerlitz  München
    Amsterdamer Beiträge zur älteren Germanistik 70 (2013), 173-177 Special Issue Section: Sovereigns and Saints INTRODUCTION CULTURAL INTEGRATIVE FIGURES AT THE INTERSECTION OF RULERSHIP AND SAINTHOOD IN MEDIEVAL CHRONICLES by Uta Goerlitz München Rulers or heroes and saints are guiding images of European medieval culture; hence their importance for literature and historiography in the orbit of the noble courts (see, for instance, Müller/ Wunderlich 2001; or Melville/ Staub 2008, vol. 1: 9ff., 340ff.; cf. note 1). Their inte- grative power refers to the vernacular oral culture of the aristocracy on one hand, and to the Latin writing culture of the clergy on the other. In practice, the two cultures cannot be separated. As a result of the conflictive interconnection of aristocratic culture and cleric culture, the specific guiding images of the ruler and the saint overlap: Heroic rulers have saintly characteristics and are depicted as essentially pacific, and saints turn into heroic rulers. The following four contri- butions on the overarching topic, Sovereigns and Saints. Narrative Modes of Constructing Rulership and Sainthood in Latin and German (Rhyme) Chronicles, focus on the interferences between antithetic features of rulers and saints in medieval aristocratic literature. All four contributions are situated within the context of the Priority Program (SPP) 1173 Integration and Disintegration of Civilizations in the European Middle Ages, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) (see Borgolte et. al. 2008: particularly Hammer/ Seidl/ Zimmermann; Hammer/ Seidl 2008 and, et al., 2010; Goerlitz/ Haubrichs 2009).1 Approaching the topic from the perspectives prevalent in their respective fields, that is, German literature, culture and history, the contributors explore how the cultural guiding images of the ruler and the saint are narratively presented in German and Latin (rhymed) chronicles of the 12th to the 16th centuries.

  • The New Cambridge Medieval History
    The New Cambridge Medieval History The fourth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the eleventh and twelfth centuries, which comprised perhaps the most dynamic period in the European middle ages. This is a history of Europe, but the continent is interpreted widely to include the Near East and North Africa as well. The volume is divided into two Parts of which this, the second, deals with the course of events, ecclesiastical and secular, and major developments in an age marked by the transformation of the position of the papacy in a process fuelled by a radical reformation of the church, the decline of the western and eastern empires, the rise of western kingdoms and Italian elites, and the development of governmental structures, the beginnings of the recovery of Spain from the Moors and the establishment of western settlements in the eastern Mediterranean region in the wake of the crusades.

  • The Divine Liturgy John Chrysostom
    The Divine Liturgy of our Father among the Saints John Chrysostom (With Commentary and Notes) The Divine Liturgy 2 The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is today the primary worship service of over 300 million Orthodox Christians around the world, from Greece to Finland, from Russia to Tanzania, from Japan to Kenya, Bulgaria to Australia. It is celebrated in dozens of languages, from the original Greek it was written in to English and French, Slavonic and Swahili, Korean and Arabic. What does the word Liturgy mean? Liturgy is a Greek word that in classical times referred to the performance of a public duty; in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament made some 300 years before the coming of Christ and still used by the Church today, it referred to worship in the Temple in Jerusalem; and for Orthodox Christians it has come to mean the public worship of the Church. Because Liturgy is always a corporate, communal action, it is often translated as ―the work of the people‖ and because it is prefaced by the word ―Divine‖ it is specifically the work of God‘s people and an experience of God‘s coming Kingdom here and now by those who gather to worship Him. This means that the Liturgy is not something that the clergy "performs" for the laity. The Liturgy was never meant to be a performance or a spectacle merely to be witnessed by onlookers. All who are present for worship must be willing, conscious and active participants and not merely passive spectators. The laity con-celebrate with the officiating clergy as baptized believers and members of the "royal priesthood…a people belonging to God" (1 Peter 2:9).

After three classes and two semesters of thesis writing, I have to thank her for much more than just her guidance in this thesis; especially our conversations in office hours during which we gleefully commiserated about the uselessness of education and the fact that people still buy Foucault’s depiction of the middle ages.

  • Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms from Abbey to Xanten a Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms
    From Abbey to Xanten A Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms From Abbey to Xanten A Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms As part of our mission at St. Norbert College, we value the importance of communio, a centuries-old charism of the Order of Premonstratensians (more commonly known as the Norbertines). Communio is characterized by mutual esteem, trust, sincerity, faith and responsibility, and is lived through open dialogue, communication, consultation and collaboration. In order for everyone to effectively engage in this ongoing dialogue, it is important that we share some of the same vocabulary and understand the concepts that shape our values as an institution. Because the college community is composed of people from diverse faith traditions and spiritual perspectives, this glossary explains a number of terms and concepts from the Catholic and Norbertine traditions with which some may not be familiar. We offer it as a guide to help people avoid those awkward moments one can experience when entering a new community – a place where people can sometimes appear to be speaking in code. While the terms in this modest pamphlet are important, the definitions are limited and are best considered general indications of the meaning of the terms rather than a complete scholarly treatment. We hope you find this useful. If there are other terms or concepts you would like to learn more about that are not covered in this guide, please feel free to contact the associate vice president for mission & student affairs at 920-403-3014 or [email protected]. In the spirit of communio, The Staff of Mission & Student Affairs When a word in a definition appears in bold type, it indicates that the word is defined elsewhere in the glossary.

John Foxe believed When writing these words in 1570 against monastic chroniclers, had `other that he had now told the full, `vntold' story. Foxe's history revealed the halfe', by examining a diverse collection of manuscripts and printed books through a largely specific interpretative and methodological interrogation. He had achieved these aims through the support offered by Matthew Parker. As the previous two chapters have indicated many of the manuscripts Parker provided formed a new and, for Foxe, unchallengeable basis for his depiction of past events and his argument. Manuscript copies of chronicles compiled by John Brompton, Gervase of Canterbury, Matthew Paris, Walter of Guisborough and Thomas Walsingham were granted clear priority over other sources at particular points in Foxe's narrative; other manuscripts such as the Annals compiled by Nicholas Trivet and the Flores Historiarum attributed to Matthew of Westminster provided a supporting range of evidence vital to authenticating the overarching argument. Individual extracts such as King Edgar's oration, Augustine's questions to Pope Gregory the Great and the anti-fraternal tract Jack Upland, provided additional flavour and colour.
