Here is the full text. PAGE 2 APRIL 2020 OSSORY TIMES In the midst of isolation when we are suffering from a lack of tenderness and chances to meet up, and we experience the loss of so many things, let us once again listen to the proclamation that saves us: he is risen and is living by our side. Pope Francis Urbi et orbi “When evening had come” (Mk 4:35). The Gospel passage we have just heard begins like this. For weeks now it has been evening. Thick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void, that stops everything as it passes by; we feel it in the air, we notice in people’s gestures, their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost. Like the disciples in the Gospel we were caught off guard by an unexpected, turbulent storm. We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other. On this boat… are all of us. Just like those disciples, who spoke anxiously with one voice, saying “We are perishing” (v. 38), so we too have realized that we cannot go on thinking of ourselves, but only together can we do this. It is easy to recognize ourselves in this story. What is harder to understand is Jesus’ attitude. While his disciples are quite naturally alarmed and desperate, he stands in the stern, in the part of the boat that sinks first. And what does he do? In spite of the tempest, he sleeps on soundly, trusting in the Father; this is the only time in the Gospels we see Jesus sleeping. When he wakes up, after calming the wind and the waters, he turns to the disciples in a reproaching voice: “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” (v. 40). PAGE 3 OSSORY TIMES APRIL 2020 Let us try to understand. In what does Greedy for profit, we let ourselves get the lack of the disciples’ faith consist, as caught up in things, and lured away by contrasted with Jesus’ trust? They had haste. We did not stop at your reproach not stopped believing in him; in fact, to us, we were not shaken awake by wars they called on him. But we see how they or injustice across the world, nor did we call on him: “Teacher, do you not care listen to the cry of the poor or of our ailing if we perish?” (v. 38). Do you not care: planet. We carried on regardless, thinking they think that Jesus is not interested in we would stay healthy in a world that was them, does not care about them. One of sick. Now that we are in a stormy sea, we the things that hurts us and our families implore you: “Wake up, Lord!”. most when we hear it said is: “Do you not care about me?” It is a phrase that “Why are you afraid? Have you no wounds and unleashes storms in our faith?” Lord, you are calling to us, hearts. It would have shaken Jesus too. calling us to faith. Which is not so much Because he, more than anyone, cares believing that you exist, but coming to about us. Indeed, once they have called you and trusting in you. This Lent your call on him, he saves his disciples from their reverberates urgently: “Be converted!”, discouragement. “Return to me with all your heart” (Joel 2:12). The storm exposes our vulnerability and uncovers those false and superfluous You are calling on us to seize this time of certainties around which we have trial as a time of choosing. It is not the time constructed our daily schedules, our of your judgement, but of our judgement: projects, our habits and priorities.

It is a time to sustain and strengthen our lives and our get our lives back on track with regard to communities. The tempest lays bare all you, Lord, and to others.

    THE MOST REV. PASCHAL ROBINSON, O.F.M. TITULAR ARCHBISHOP OF TYANA APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO IRELAND HONORARY MEMBER OF THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN FRANCISCAN HISTORY AND OF THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, FELLOW OF THE ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND 1870-1948 HE MOST REV. PASCHAL ROBINSON, O.F.M., Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland, died on August 27, 1948, at the Nuncia­ T ture, Phoenix Park, Dublin. Archbishop Robinson, born in Ireland on April 26, 1870, as a young man came to the United States, where he joined the Franciscan Province of the Holy Name in 1896. For a number of years he taught in the schools of that Province, as well as at the Monastery of the Holy Land in Washington, D. C. In 1913 he was named Professor of Medieval History at the Catholic University, a post he held until his appointment to the diplomatic service of the Holy See in 1919. Before he was twenty-five, the young Robinson was already well known in journalistic circles, having been London correspondent for The New York Sun. At the age of twenty-two, he became Associ­ ate Editor of The North American Review, the outstanding literary vehicle of the time. He was not to find complete satisfaction in this type of life, however, and in 1895 he entered Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass., as a preliminary step toward priestly studies. The following year he received the Franciscan habit at St. Bonaventure College, St. Bonaventure, N. Y. Recognizing his extraordinary ability, his superiors sent him to complete his theological course at the recently founded International College of the Order in Rome.

  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished the Preservation and Destruction of the Christ Church Cathedral Deeds Stuart Kinsella
    Archive Fever, no. 10 (December 2019) No Good Deed Goes Unpunished The Preservation and Destruction of the Christ Church Cathedral Deeds Stuart Kinsella ‘Many charters were left scarcely legible, and particularly a foundation charter of King Henry II … could not by any means be read; the prior applied to the Barons of the Exchequer to enroll such of their deeds as were not wholly destroyed, and leave was accordingly given’ Image: Portrait of Michael Joseph McEnery, M.R.I.A., as printed in the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Sixth Series, 14, no. 1 (1924): frontispiece. Beyond 2022 Archive Fever no. 10 (December, 2019) 1 | Page Archive Fever, no. 10 (December 2019) The Christ Church deeds were the oldest collection of material in the Public Record Office of Ireland. During the restoration of Christ Church in the 1870s, the cathedral authorities felt it wise to deposit the cathedral’s vast collection of medieval and early modern materials for safe keeping in the newly minted Public Record Office of Ireland, established in 1867, unaware, of course, that the materials would survive unscathed for only four decades.1 To the immense relief of posterity, a then junior civil servant in the office of the deputy keeper, was assigned to produce a calendar of the cathedral records, summarising them into English mostly from Latin and a few from French. Michael J. McEnery was his name, who began work in 1883, and was almost complete by 1884. He published them as appendices to the reports of the deputy keeper in 1888, 1891, 1892, with an index in 1895 up to the year 1602.

RESEARCHING HUGUENOT SETTLERS IN IRELAND1 VIVIEN COSTELLO PREAMBLE This study is a genealogical research guide to French Protestant refugee settlers in Ireland, c. 1660–1760. It reassesses Irish Huguenot settlements in the light of new findings and provides a background historical framework. A comprehensive select bibliography is included. While there is no formal listing of manuscript sources, many key documents are cited in the footnotes. This work covers only French Huguenots; other Protestant Stranger immigrant groups, such as German Palatines and the Swiss watchmakers of New Geneva, are not featured. INTRODUCTION Protestantism in France2 In mainland Europe during the early sixteenth century, theologians such as Martin Luther and John Calvin called for an end to the many forms of corruption that had developed within the Roman Catholic Church. When their demands were ignored, they and their followers ceased to accept the authority of the Pope and set up independent Protestant churches instead. Bitter religious strife throughout much of Europe ensued. In France, a Catholic-versus-Protestant civil war was waged intermittently throughout the second half of the sixteenth century, followed by ever-increasing curbs on Protestant civil and religious liberties.3 The majority of French Protestants, nicknamed Huguenots,4 were followers of Calvin.
