Zagarella, O. Praem. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Saint Norbert: Happy 900th Anniversary! Joe McLaughlin and I are so excited that this digital issue of The Communicator arrives as we commence the historic celebration of our 900th Anniversary as an international Norbertine Community. The 12th Century dream of our founder, Saint Norbert, Minister of Peace and Concord, continues to be lived out in this 21st Century. Through the abundant and generous grace of God we are here today, continuing the unbroken chain of daily, dedicated prayer and service to one another and to the universal Church. Over the course of these 900 years, there were no doubt many joys, triumphs, challenges, difficulties, successes, and God help us, even failures. The present day is no different. We begin our 900th celebration in the midst of a global pandemic that a year ago, no one could have predicted. Amidst the staggering challenges, illnesses, and loss of life around the world because of what we now know as COVID-19, what is true of our common Premonstratensian profession has been affirmed like never before in our lifetime: We are indeed all connected to one another. Despite the fact that some of our celebrations will be affected by COVID-19 restrictions, nothing can mute our celebration of praise and thanksgiving for the worldwide Norbertine Community, for our local Communities and the gift of our individual vocations to follow in the footsteps of Saint Norbert. I am delighted that The Communicator can be an instrument of connection among the members of the English speaking circary of this great Community. As a special feature, I am thrilled that this issue provides the sheet music and link for a hymn composed by Rev. Andrew D. Ciferni, O. Praem. (Daylesford) and Mr. Gareth Haynes (Cantor, Daylesford Abbey) specifically for this momentous anniversary,“Novem Saecula,”. As we begin this year of celebration, let us be united in prayer for one another and extend that prayer to Premonstratensians of every language and culture; indeed, to celebrate and rejoice in the many friendships that we have enjoyed with Norbertine brothers and sisters all over the world. 1 From the Editor God bless you! Stay safe and healthy. We have every reason to celebrate and be grateful that we are a part of this amazing tradition. Vivant in aeternum! In Norbert and Augustine, Editor Vicar’s Column Abbot Eugene Hayes, O. Praem. This is my first vicar’s column and it is a special joy for me sinceThe Communicator has now gone digital under our new editor – and again a word of appreciation and gratitude to Fr Prior John Zagarella and his assistant Fr Joe McLaughlin. I began writing this on Sunday, October 4, usually the feastday of St Francis. Pope Francis was in Assisi this weekend and signed his latest encyclical Fratelli tutti, recalling the first words of the Saint’s exhortation to his followers and more so his commitment to the mission of building unity among brothers and sisters “It is my desire that, in this our time, by acknowledging the dignity of each human person, we can contribute to the rebirth of a universal aspiration to fraternity. Fraternity between all men and women.” Now that is something about which all people of good will can/will agree, the need for coming together in so many aspects of contemporary life. The COVID-19 pandemic has left many experiencing the loss of a sense of community and the solidarity which flows from it. These concepts of course touch on the essence of our Norbertine life, communio. A silver lining to these 6 months or so for me has been the sheer number of confreres, whose daily apostolates, being suspended or reconfigured, have been able to be present at meals and hours of the office in which normally they were unable to participate. Additionally, the presence of our Roman students just now returned to the Eternal City as well as our Canadian students still among us studying theology online has shown us dramatically how much the new abbey is needed, as we play musical chairs in the choir and the refectory. At the beginning of September I came upon an Op-ed piece in the NY Times by Frank Bruini entitled “Why the Coronavirus is so much worse than September 11 – We’re denied the solace of community just when we need it most.” Speaking of the now de rigueur “social distancing” Bruini writes: “if an odder, uglier phase has ever been coined, I can’t think of it. “Social distancing” is another oxymoron, because how is distancing ever social? To pull together, we must stay apart.” Vicar’s Column 2 In a time such as ours we need to be grateful for this publication and all those who for many years now and up until today have made it a needed and therefore much appreciated vehicle in building up the communio of which our world particularly now has such great need. Let us continue to pray for each other in these challenging times. Advent-Christmas 2020 Opening of the celebration of the 900-years Jubilee Jos Wouters O. Praem., abbot general A jubilee is the commemoration of an event that took place a round number of years ago. The profession of Saint Norbert and his first followers on Christmas Day of 1121 is the beginning of a history that has continued for nine centuries. In line with the motto of our General Chapter of 2018 (Nativitas Christi, nativitas Ordinis) we can say that the day the Word was born among us was also the day that our Order became an institutionalized reality. Both vitae of Saint Norbert relate that event on Christmas Day when the first Premonstratensians made profession on the Rule of Saint Augustine. The vitae recall the discussions within the community about the way of life they were to follow. “Some of those who followed Norbert believed that what they heard from him was sufficient for salvation and therefore they needed neither

  • The Solemn Profession of Br Gildas D. Parry O.Praem. on the Feast Of
    THE CANONRY OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS & ST PHILIP BENIZI, CHELMSFORD The Solemn Profession of Br Gildas D. Parry O.Praem. On the Feast of St. Pius X, Pope Friday 21st August MMXX Solemn Profession in the Order of Prémontré The Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, otherwise known as Premonstratensians, Norbertines or White Canons, was founded as an Order of canons regular following the Rule of St. Augustine of Hippo by St. Norbert in 1120 at Prémontré, in northern France. By solemn profession a member of the Order vows to follow the Rule of St. Augustine and the manner of life of a Premonstratensian canon in poverty, chastity and obedience until death, and becomes fully incorporated into a specific canonry. Acknowledgements The Prelate and Canons of the Canonry of Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Philip Benizi, as well as Br. Gildas himself, thank you for uniting yourselves and your prayers to this Solemn Mass, celebrated in honour of Pope St. Pius X. Due to the COVID-19 related restrictions that were in place when planning this Mass, it was decided to celebrate it in the house chapel, so that it could be live-streamed to a wider audience. Therefore, if you are watching via the internet, please feel free to use this booklet as you follow the Mass. It is during this Mass that Br. Gildas will be Solemnly Professed as a member of the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, being incorporated as a canon of the Canonry of Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Philip Benizi.

  • The Ruusbroec Institute and Its Library Establishment
    The Ruusbroec Institute and its library FRANS HENDRICKX Establishment The Ruusbroec Institute Library developed alongside the vision of its founders, led by Father Stracke († 1970), whose aim was to study the history of spirituality in the Low Countries. When Stracke received his doctorate in Germanic Philology from Leuven in 1903-1904 with a thesis on the lives of Christina of Sint-Truiden and Lutgardis of Tongeren, his mentor Louis Scharpé († 1935) encouraged him in his ambition to establish the Bibliotheca Ascetica Patrum Societaties Jesu Provinciae Flandrensis . This central library of the Order would provide the necessary resources and study materials for conducting research into the spirituality of the Jesuit Society in the Low Countries between the Counter Reformation and the eighteenth century. This was because the Bibliographie de la Compagnie de Jésus , assembled in twelve successive parts by Augustin and Alois De Backer († 1873 and 1883 respectively) and Carlos Sommervogel († 1902), was deemed to be in need of expansion and improvement with regard to the Jesuit writers of both the southern and northern Low Countries. However, since ascetic and mystical writings had often been overlooked and treated disparagingly in Dutch literary history books, and in light of the emancipation of Arm Vlaanderen (Poor Flanders) – Stracke's remarkable speech to the Katholieke Vlaamsche Wacht in Borgerhout on 13 November 1913 – the original plan, which was never actually realized, gradually transformed into a more general exploration of the Low Countries' spiritual history, beginning in the Middle Ages. Three Jesuits, all Germanics graduates of the Leuven Alma Mater – Desideer A. Stracke († 1970), Jozef Van Mierlo († 1958) and Leonce Reypens († 1972) – were the founding scholars of a new working community formed in 1925.

  • 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.

  • St. Joseph Catholic Parish, Champion, Wisconsin
    St. Joseph Catholic Parish, Champion, Wisconsin 1862 – 2012 1 History of St. Joseph Catholic Parish, Champion In the 1850’s, times were very hard in the Country of Belgium. Over population had resulted in farms becoming smaller. The crops were suffering a reduction because of drought and diseases, including a severe potato blight (which lasted many years). Many farmers didn’t own their farmland, but depended on landlords for their income. Some of the workers depended on successful crops for their food, because for their labors they would receive a certain amount of a harvest. The peasants could not gain a decent living from the production of their land alone. So many of them found additional sources of income in rural industries such as distilling, brewing, sugar milling. Some home activities were cutlery, straw plaiting, and nail making. There was famine and epidemics of cholera and typhus, which caused many deaths. Some of the rural work force preferred to search elsewhere for more prosperous conditions. It is in this way immigration to the United States constituted a last hope. After Wisconsin became a state in 1848, the state government initiated a campaign to attract settlers. In 1851 a handbook called “The Emigrant’s Handbook and Guide to Wisconsin”, was circulated in Belgium. The campaign was advertised in European papers and urged people to move to Wisconsin, where land was cheap, along with freedom and opportunity. The major time period for Belgian Immigration was in 1855 and 1856, although many others came in later years. On May 18, 1853 the first Belgian Immigrants from Grez-Doiceau, in the province of Brabant, estimated at being 81 individuals, sailed from their homeland, heading toward the United States.

He wrote his doctoral thesis about painted tabletops in the late Middle Ages, which has since been published. His research focuses are German panel painting of the late Middle Ages, portraiture, and the history of furniture and guild artefacts. He has published articles about a rediscovered bust of John Heartfield and has possibly found Mona Lisa’s little sister as a part of a double portrait by Martin Schaffner. 158 In 1854, Henry David Thoreau said: ‘At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable’.1 These words seem to describe the discussion about the attribution of the painting The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things to Jheronimus Bosch and the discussion about its original function very well (Fig. 1). In this article, I aim to show that the painting is a painted tabletop.
