On Thursday, July 11th, we remember St. Benedict of Nursia, one of the most popular Saints in the Church. St. Bene- dict is best known for “The Rule,” which is, quite literally, a rulebook for Monastic life (Religious who live apart from ! society, following a discipline of work and prayer). Very highly regarded and still used today, St. Benedict wrote “The Rule” sometime after 529 A.D. This book is often featured in images of St. Benedict, including that found on his medal. The medal of St. Benedict is a prayer of exorcism against Satan, a prayer for strength in time of temptation, a prayer for peace among ourselves and among the nations of the world, a prayer that the Cross of Christ be our light and guide, a prayer of firm rejec- tion of all that is evil, a prayer of petition that we may, with Christian courage, “walk in God’s ways, with the ! !Gospel ! as our ! guide” (as St. Benedict urges us). ! ! We do not know when the first medal of St. Benedict was struck. Over the years, the design of the medal has changed, however, the Jubilee Medal of 1880 has proven to be more popular throughout the Christian world than any other medal struck in honor St. Benedict. This is the medal most often used today. ! Front of the Jubilee medal: ! St. Benedict holds a cross in his right hand and his Rule in his left. At his right side is a cup with a serpent (or snake) escap- ing; at his left side is a crow taking away a piece of poisoned bread. ! Both of these recall miraculous events when attempts ! !on St. Benedict’s life were thwarted. Near the Saint are the words, “CRUX SANCTI PATRIS BEN- ! ! !EDICTI.” This means "The Cross of Holy Father Benedict." Around the medal are the words "EIUS IN OBITU NOSTRO PRAESENTIA.” ! That means "He defends us in our death with his presence.” ! Back of the Jubilee medal: ! ! !PAX means peace C S P B stand for Crux Sancti Patri Benedicti !! ! !"Cross of the Holy Father Benedict" C S S M L stands for Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux ! ! !"May the Holy Cross be my light." N D S M D stands for Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux ! ! !"The devil will not be my leader." S M Q L stands for Sunt Mala Quae Libas ! ! !"These things presented to me are evil." I V B stands for Ipse Venea Bibas ! "Drink the poison yourself!" ! ! There is no special way prescribed for carrying or ! V R S stands for Vade Retro Satana ! wearing the Medal of St. Benedict. It can be worn on a ! chain around the neck, attached to one’s Rosary, kept !"Get behind me, Satan." in one’s pocket or purse, or placed in one’s car or N S M V stands for Non Suade Mihi Vana ! home. Some of the faithful often put the medal into the "You can't persuade me to do evil.” ! foundations of houses and building, on the walls of barns and sheds, or in one’s place of business. The purpose of using the medal in any of the above ways is to call down God’s blessing and protection upon us, wherever we are, and upon our homes and possessions, especially through the intercession of St. Benedict. By the conscious and devout use of the medal, it becomes, as it were, a constant silent prayer !and reminder ! to us of our dignity as followers of Christ. ! ! Note: Medals, crosses, statues, and other articles have long been used as a means of fostering and expressing our reli- gious devotion to God and the Saints. The use of any religious article is therefore intended as a means of reminding us of God and of stirring up in us a ready willingness and desire to serve God and our neighbor. With this understanding we reject any use of religious articles as if they were mere charms or had some magic power to bring us good luck or better health. Such is not the Christian attitude.

  • Samuel Johnson's Childhood Illnesses and the King's Evil
    SAMUEL JOHNSON'S CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES AND THE KING'S EVIL by LAWRENCE C. McHENRY, JR. AND RONALD MAC KEITH 'HERE is a brave boy,' proclaimed George Hector,* when he brought Samuel Johnson into the world. From this moment and throughout most of his childhood, young Sam was harassed by a variety of afflictions that troubled his daily existence, but did not prevent him from eventually becoming one of England's outstanding literary figures. Samuel Johnson's adult illnesses and the history of his childhood have been described by many writers, but no separate work is available on his childhood medical history. The purpose ofthis paper is to describe Johnson's childhood medical disorders and their consequences. The principal source of information on this period in Johnson's life is from an autobiographical sketch, An account of the life of Dr. Samuel Johnson from his birth to his eleventh year, written by himself. Johnson apparently called this his 'Annals' and his two principal biographers, Boswell and Hawkins, did not know of its existence. This was written when he was 55 years old and was 'among the mass of papers which were ordered to be committed to the flames a few days before his death.'** Johnson's 'Annals' gives a record of his early affections, but it contains a rather questionable medical implication that has been perpetuated as fact. This is that Johnson developed tuberculosis during the first few weeks of his life. We propose to point out that this is unlikely and to show that it is much more probable that he developed tuberculosis later, when he was about two years old.

As amulets, these objects are meant to be carried by a person at all times in which they wish to receive the benefits that an omamori is said to offer. In modern times, in addition to being a religious object, these amulets have become accessories for cell-phones, bags, purses, and automobiles.

    Prayer to Saint Benedict "Admirable Saint and Doctor of Humility, you practiced what you taught, assiduously praying for God's glory and lovingly fulfilling all work for God and the benefit of all human beings. You know the many physical dangers that surround us today, often caused or occasioned by human inventions. Guard us against poisoning of the body as well as of mind and soul, and thus be truly a 'Blessed' one for us. Amen." Prayer to Saint Benedict "Glorious Saint Benedict, sublime model of virtue, pure vessel of God's grace! Behold me humbly kneeling at your feet. I implore you in your loving kindness to pray for me before the throne of God. To you I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor. Inspire me to imitate you in all things. May your blessing be with me always, so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom. Graciously obtain for me from God those favors and graces which I need so much in the trials, miseries and afflictions of life. Your heart was always full of love, compassion and mercy toward those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. You never dismissed without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to you. I therefore invoke your powerful intercession, confident in the hope that you will hear my prayers and obtain for me the special grace and favor I earnestly implore.

Why is it here? Where is it going? Why, for the sake of all that’s holy, do I think that you care about yet another book on mythology? Surely, you must be thinking to yourself, you have no need for one (even if it is free). You have three already. Maybe even more! Here’s the difference: Those books that you have will tell you who Hades was. Maybe it’ll be incredibly in-depth and inform you of every variation of every myth that ever featured him. You’ll know a lot about Hades after you read that incredibly thorough book. And after you read the entries on a dozen or so other death divinities, you’ll have a pretty good idea of their common traits. This book approaches the matter from the complete opposite direction. It tells you about death divinities as a class, and then it casually mentions Hades as a number of examples.

  • Shikoku Henro Trail
    SHIKOKU HENRO A study of Japanese and western pilgrims on the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Sacred Places Pilgrimage A dissertation prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MA in Japanese Language and Society (by Distance Learning) Fiona MacGregor Faculty of Social Studies School of East Asian Studies The University of Sheffield January 2002 Abstract This is a comparative study of Japanese and western pilgrims who performed the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Sacred Places Pilgrimage, on the island of Shikoku, in western Japan. The data was collected in the field on a four-page, thirty-five point questionnaire by two sociologists from Tokyo’s Waseda University in 1996, and on a two-page, ten-point questionnaire by myself in 2000 and early 2001. The western pilgrims were contacted by e-mail and asked the basic questions from my survey; they responded during the summer of 2001. Some significant differences between the Japanese and western pilgrims were found, both in the age of the pilgrims, as well as in the motives, attitudes, experiences and performance methods of both groups. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that these differences are due to the different concepts of pilgrimage in both cultures, as well as to the different attitudes to religion and the idea of the sacred in Japan and the west.

  • The Medal Or Cross of St. Benedict
    The Medal or Cross of St. Benedict Medals, like crosses, statues and paintings, are a time-honored means of fostering and expressing Christian faith and devotion. They remind us who we are and stir us to prayer and service. They are not charms, though often enough folk custom attaches almost superstitious meaning to them. This enter discusses the origin of the Benedictine Medal/Cross, the form which it now has which was established in 1880 at Montecassino, the use of the medal, before giving the prayer used in blessings the medals. Origin The cross is a key Christian symbol, one which Gregory the Great says Benedict used for blessing and working miracles. Through the centuries, St. Benedict has been shown holding a cross in one hand and his Rule in the other. It is not known when the first medal of St. Benedict was produced. In the late Middle Ages some letters were placed around the cross on the reverse of the medal. A manuscript from the abbey of Metten, dating from 1415, explains the meaning of the letters. Jubilee Medal of Montecassino The most familiar form of the medal of St. Benedict today is one designed in 1880 by the monks of Montecassino to commemorate the 1400th anniversary of the birth of St. Benedict. The design was produced at the Benedictine Abbey of Beuron in Germany. On the front side of the medal is the image of St. Benedict. In his right hand he holds a cross, and in his left, his Rule. On each side are pedestals recalling incidents from Gregory's life of Benedict in which Benedict was saved from poisoning.
