Vespers on the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation
N. 160902a Friday 02.09.2016 Vespers on the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation Yesterday afternoon, in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis presided at the celebration of vespers on the occasion of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The homily was pronounced by the Preacher to the Papal Household, Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., who emphasised that the sovereignty of human beings over the cosmos is not a triumphalism of the species but rather the assumption of responsibility for the weak, the poor and the helpless. “The God of the Bible, but also of other religions, is a God Who hears the cry of the poor … who disdains nothing He created”. “The Incarnation of the Word brought another reason to take care of the weak and the poor, whatever race or religion he may belong to. Indeed, this does not say merely that “God was made man”, but also that man was made God: that is, what type of man He chose to be: not rich or powerful, but poor, weak and helpless. … The form of the incarnation is no less important than the fact”. “This was the step further that Francis of Assisi, with his experience of life, was able to give to theology. … The Saint was moved to tears by the Nativity by … the humility and the poverty of the Son of God Who, ‘though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor’. In him, love for poverty and love for creation went hand in hand, and had a common root in his radical renouncement of the will to possess”, explained Fr. -

A. Brief Overview of the Administrative History of the Holy See
A. Brief Overview of the Administrative History of the Holy See The historical documentation generated by the Holy See over the course of its history constitutes one of the most important sources for research on the history of Christianity, the history of the evolution of the modern state, the history of Western culture and institutions, the history of exploration and colonization, and much more. Though important, it has been difficult to grasp the extent of this documentation. This guide represents the first attempt to describe in a single work the totality of historical documentation that might properly be considered Vatican archives. Although there are Vatican archival records in a number of repositories that have been included in this publication, this guide is designed primarily to provide useful information to English-speaking scholars who have an interest in using that portion of the papal archives housed in the Vatican Archives or Archivio Segreto Vaticano (ASV). As explained more fully below, it the result of a project conducted by archivists and historians affiliated with the University of Michigan. The project, initiated at the request of the prefect of the ASV, focused on using modem computer database technology to present information in a standardized format on surviving documentation generated by the Holy See. This documentation is housed principally in the ASV but is also found in a variety of other repositories. This guide is, in essence, the final report of the results of this project. What follows is a complete printout of the database that was constructed. The database structure used in compiling the information was predicated on principles that form the basis for the organization of the archives of most modem state bureaucracies (e.g., provenance). -
The Application of Sacrosanctum Concilium to Music in the Parish of St Peter and St Paul, Wolverhampton
Models of Liturgical Music & Model Liturgical Music: The Application of Sacrosanctum Concilium to Music in the Parish of St Peter and St Paul, Wolverhampton by Wilfrid H G Jones The University of Birmingham, Department of Theology and Religions Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts (by Research) Department of Theology and Religions, College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham December, 2015 Copyright © Wilfrid Jones 2016.

ABSTRACT Active participation in the liturgy, which should be primarily internal and fostered by external participation, is the primary concern of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the sacred liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. Having investigated the historical effects of the Council and the ensuing liturgical reform on the music in the liturgies of St Peter and St Paul’s, Wolverhampton, this experiment gradually introduced the liturgical music envisaged by Sacrosanctum Concilium into a weekly Mass and uses ethnographic techniques to investigate whether the active participation of the people increased. This paper examines attitudes to active participation, to congregational singing and listening, and the construction of liturgical atmosphere. -

Popes in History
popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St. -

Chapter Four
chapter four PRINCE ECKEMBERGH COMES TO DINNER, OR: POWER THROUGH CULINARY CEREMONY Introduction It is not often a historian finds the kind of sources that enable him to reconstruct past behaviour and, thus, to enter past man’s mind. In papal Rome, with its emphasis on stylised acts and (e-)motions, the sit- uation is slightly better. ‘Baroque behaviour’ as codified in prescrip- tions and descriptions of ceremony and ritual, can in fact be ‘read’ and interpreted. As ceremony was the lifeblood of the papal capital,1 Ihave searched for a suitable case to analyse it in action, and have been lucky todiscoverone.The1637–1638 mission of the Imperial ambassador Johann Prince Eckembergh—or Von Eggenberg—to Pope Urban has produced a relatively large amount of texts which allow for what his- torians of literature call ‘close reading’,2 because they are what anthro- pologists have termed ‘thick descriptions’. Multi-layered as they are, these texts yield fascinating information both on desired and on actual behaviour, thus illuminating an important aspect of culture in papal Rome. Preparations On the night of November 30, 1638, thousands of Romans flocked to the palace of the Spanish ambassador on the Piazza di Spagna. The austere but elegant front was ablaze with candles and torches; guards in ceremonial livery were standing at the huge vaulted entrance. The 1 For a very general, but important introduction: W.

Pope's Preacher Goes Back to Basics in Talks to Bishops
Pope's preacher goes back to basics in talks to bishops https://www.ncronline.org/print/news/accountability/popes-preacher-goe... Published on National Catholic Reporter ( https://www.ncronline.org ) Jan 11, 2019 Home > Pope's preacher goes back to basics in talks to bishops Pope's preacher goes back to basics in talks to bishops by Tom Roberts Editor's note: The texts of the talks delivered by Capuchin Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher of the papal household, to the U.S. bishops during their Jan. 2-8 retreat at Mundelein Seminary, outside of Chicago, are available at this link. Texts of the 11 talks delivered to the U.S. bishops who gathered for a week's retreat at Mundelein Seminary outside of Chicago show a heavy emphasis on traditional themes, a robust defense of celibacy, a severe criticism of attachment to money and an endorsement of new lay movements as a replacement for declining numbers of clerics. Capuchin Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, the official NCR obtained the texts, 84 single-spaced pages, and preacher of the papal household, delivers the homily they can be seen in their entirety here. They were delivered to U.S. bishops during Mass Jan. 3 in the Chapel of during the Jan. 2-8 retreat by Capuchin Fr. Raniero the Immaculate Conception at Mundelein Seminary Cantalamessa, preacher of the papal household. during the bishops' Jan. 2-8 retreat at the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Illinois, near Chicago. The talks contain only passing reference to the sex abuse (CNS/Bob Roller) scandal that was the reason behind the unusual retreat, suggested by Pope Francis, and the omission was intentional. -
