It was later hidden from the Moors in a cave, where it was rediscovered in 880 AD. According to the legend of the discovery, which was first recorded in the 13th century, the statue was discovered by shepherds. They saw a bright light and heard heavenly music that eventually led them to the grotto and the statue. The Bishop of Manresa, present at the discovery, suggested that it be moved to Manresa, but the small statue was discovered to be so heavy it could not be lifted. Thus the Virgin had indicated her will to stay on Montserrat to be venerated there. Many miracles were reported through the intercession of the Virgin Mary at Montserrat. Shortly after his conversion, Ignatius of Loyola was determined to join the army of Christ. In pilgrim’s garb, Ignatius kept an all-night vigil before Our Lady. He placed his sword before the Mother of God, stood, knelt, sang hymns, and prayed with the other pilgrims. Ignatius began his new life in God under the inspiration of the Black Madonna and Child Jesus A historian wrote: "In all ages the sinful, the suffering, the sorrowful, have laid their woes at the feet of Our Lady of Montserrat, and none have ever gone away unheard or unaided." Let us bring our own needs and prayers and place them at the feet of our Lady to present to her Son. REFLECTION FAITH FORMATION As we continue living in the realities of our time, let us learn from the example of St Benedict and his monastic communities as to how we might encounter God more and more in our daily lives. Cultivate Silence St. Benedict wrote, “Speaking and teaching are the master’s task; the disciple is to be silent and listen” (RB 6:8). Silence is the environment that allows you to listen to God’s voice and the Welcome to the 11th-annual 31 Days with St. Ignatius, voices of those around you properly.

  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • Santa Maria De Montserrat Monastery
    Bulletin #378 May 2015 SANTA MARIA DE MONTSERRAT MONASTERY It is a Benedictine abbey situated on the mountain of Montserrat, province of Barcelona. It has become a point of pilgrimage for believers and a required visit for tourists. Where’s Balboa? by Helen Ofield, President, Lemon Grove Historical Society We are celebrating the centennial year of Balboa Park, but the park’s namesake is missing in action. Among the various statues and sculptures in the park, nary a one represents the former Spanish explorer (he worked for a nobleman as a squire before coming to the new world), ex pig farmer, courageous soldier and first European to see the Pacific Ocean “silent upon a peak in Darién.” Why is that? Is nobody concerned about this obvious historical oversight? Why would a 23-foot statue of the Spanish hero, El Cid, dominate the center of the park? He was a medieval soldier of fortune who died in 1099, four centuries before Vasco Nuñez de Balboa entered history by walking across the Isthmus of Panama, establishing a stable settlement named Darién, and finding the Pacific. True, Balboa Park is rooted in Spanish history and its impact on California. With help from architect William Templeton Johnson, El Cid was donated in 1930 by the Hispanic Society of America and its founder, Archer Milton Huntington, who had commissioned his wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington, to create the statue for them. The original stands outside the Society’s building, 613 West 155th Street, New York, NY. Our El Cid is one of four copies made for Valencia, Buenos Aires, San Francisco and San Diego.

  • Our Lady of Montserrat
    Our Lady of Montserrat Montserrat is a mountain chain near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is part of the Catalan Pre- Coastal Range, its main peaks 1,236 metres tall. It is a mountain that astonishes you the moment you see it, for it is so different from all others. Seen from the distance, looming up alone out of the landscape, it is bound to attract your attention. Depending on where you see it from, its silhouette is reminiscent of the toothed blade of a saw. And here you have the clue to its name, for the Catalan word Montserrat means “sawn mountain”. It describes the peculiar aspect of the rock formation, which is visible from a great distance. The mountain is composed of strikingly pink conglomerate, a form of sedimentary rock. It is well-known as the site of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat. The statue of the Madonna and Child is known as “La Moreneta” (the dark little one). Legend relates that was first known as “La Jerosolimitana” (the native of Jerusalem), since it is believed to have been carved in that city during the early days of the church, and according to Catholic tradition its author was Saint Luke. The image was moved to Montserrat in 718, to avoid the danger posed by invading Saracens. It was later hidden from the Moors in a cave, where it was rediscovered in the IX century. Some shepherds found the lost statue under supernatural guidance in 890. While tending their flocks that night the shepherds were amazed to see lights and to hear singing coming from the mountain.

  • The Marian Pilgrimage: Day Thirteen: Tuesday 19 May 2020
    The Marian Pilgrimage: Day Thirteen: Tuesday 19 May 2020 The Shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat, near Barcelona, Spain Before leaving the Capital of Catalonia, Barcelona for Montserrat we include a visit to La Sagrada Familia {The Holy Family} Basilica. The origins of the Basilica date Back to 1866, when Josep Maria BocaBellai Verdaguer founded the Asociación Espiritual de Devotos de San José (Spiritual Association of Devotees of St. Joseph). It was this association that promoted the construction of an expiatory church dedicated to the Holy Family. The project was initially commissioned to the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar y Lozano and the first stone was placed under his direction on March 19, 1882. But shortly after this, Francisco de Paula del Villar resigned due to disagreements with the developers. The commission then passed to a thirty-one year old architect, Antoni Gaudi. He had no experience in major works and decided to completely re-think the project. After the Association received an important anonymous donation, the Catalan genius decided to make a new and larger work. He rejected the former neo- Gothic project, of which only the crypt had Been Built, and proposed an exuberant and innovative temple with a Latin cross plan, eighteen towers of great heigh, and full of religious symbolism shown especially throughout its sculptural decoration. Gaudí dedicated forty-three years of his life to La Sagrada Familia but, after his early death in 1926, only one of the towers had Been Built. Aware that the temple’s work could take even centuries to complete, Gaudí defined the entire project on plans and made three scale plaster models, so that they would be used as such in the construction of the entire building.

  • THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus”
    “THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus” Carla Ionescu A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2016 © Carla Ionescu, 2016 ii Abstract: Tradition states that the most popular Olympian deities are Apollo, Athena, Zeus and Dionysius. These divinities played key roles in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world. This work suggests that this deeply entrenched scholarly tradition is fissured with misunderstandings of Greek and Ephesian popular culture, and provides evidence that clearly suggests Artemis is the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean, with roots embedded in the community and culture of this area that can be traced further back in time than even the arrival of the Greeks. In fact, Artemis’ reign is so fundamental to the cultural identity of her worshippers that even when facing the onslaught of early Christianity, she could not be deposed. Instead, she survived the conquering of this new religion under the guise of Mary, Mother of Jesus. Using methods of narrative analysis, as well as review of archeological findings, this work demonstrates that the customs devoted to the worship of Artemis were fundamental to the civic identity of her followers, particularly in the city of Ephesus in which Artemis reigned not only as Queen of Heaven, but also as Mother, Healer and Saviour. Reverence for her was as so deeply entrenched in the community of this city, that after her temple was destroyed, and Christian churches were built on top of her sacred places, her citizens brought forward the only female character in the new ruling religion of Christianity, the Virgin Mary, and re-named her Theotokos, Mother of God, within its city walls.

    True Cross of Our Lord Ex ligno crucis (wood from the Cross) “There they crucified him, and with him two others” John 19:18 The Cross on which Christ was Crucified was brought from the Holy Land to Rome by St. Helen, the mother of the Emperor Constantine in the Fourth Century. The largest remaining portions of it are in Santa Croce Church, in Rome. Due to scarcity, the Church no longer issues relics of the True Cross. This particular reliquary containing extraordinarily large portions of the True Cross was once given as a gift by the bishop of Limoges (France) to the bishop of Marseilles (France) at his Episcopal consecration (see official documentation on back). “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 Fragment of the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary De velo (from the Veil) Profile: Mother of Jesus. Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Betrothed of Saint Joseph. Born: unknown, perhaps 20BC; celebrated on 8 September. Died: unknown; assumed into heaven on a date unknown but celebrated each year on 15 August. Inside this reliquary is a piece of fabric taken from the Veil worn by the Blessed Virgin. Our Lady’s Veil has been venerated from the earliest centuries since she was assumed into Heaven. This particular portion was encased within this theca within the Vatican. It was given to this ministry to allow for world wide veneration.
