Fr. Ignatius Spencer Passionist When people come to consult me in their difficulties, I should always wish to have them return to me after 10 days or a fortnight, and to go through what might be called a preparatory course of medicine. If they will comply, the case assumes a much more simple aspect and the cure is comparatively easy. I would have them make a clear statement of themselves of all their troubles, all their doubts, all their scruples, all the troubles they look forward to as likely to come upon them, or possible to arise out of the circumstances they are in; and then suppose that all this possible trouble was sure. Then go on for the 10 days, doing noth- ing but thank God for it altogether, and every position in detail, till they have brought themselves into a complete and settled state of peace and joy over it all. It is clear how easy a matter it will be after that to bring everything right. All is right already, and with nothing more wanted. Perhaps it will seem as if this was impossible or against sound sense. It is neither one nor the other for a person who believes what we all believe.

  • Dominic Barberi in Nailsworth Nailsworth’S Italian Missionary – Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God by Brian Torode and Richard Barton in 1987
    Dominic Barberi in Nailsworth Nailsworth’s Italian Missionary – Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God by Brian Torode and Richard Barton in 1987 (Copyright rests with Richard Barton) Tucked between the hamlets of Forest Green and Windsoredge and the heart of modern Nailsworth, overlooking the wooded hillside of Watledge, stands Northfields. The original house was built in about 1707 as the manse or parsonage for the minister of the Forest Green Congregational Chapel. From about 1800, the enlarged house served as a small grammar school which was first run by the minister and was, in 1820, known as Chapel House Academy. The house is situated along Northfields Road, the old road from Stroud into Nailsworth, which passes many of the old cottages that are situated along the spring line. This route would have been well-trodden by the many clothiers, weavers and cloth workers of the area prior to the turnpike roads being constructed along the valley bottoms. 1 Northfields Less than a quarter of a mile away, up the hill, the Independents used to meet in a forest clearing, from as early as 1672, and this outdoor gathering grew into the Forest Green Congregational Church. At this time, Nailsworth was not a town, as we know it today, but merely a collection of scattered hamlets. Forest Green was actually situated within the ancient parish of Avening and, because it was situated over two miles from the medieval parish church, there the practice of non-conformist or independent worship flourished. Quaker meetings thrived in Nailsworth from 1655 and warranted visits from George Fox on three occasions.

Thus I am given the possibility of offering my cordial greetings in the most personal and affectionate way to all and in particular my congratulations and good wishes to the new Cardinals. May the most important and evocative event of the Consistory be, for you who are present here and for all who are linked to the new Cardinals in various capacities, a motive and an incentive to gather around them with affection. May you feel even closer to their hearts and to their apostolic concern; listen with lively hope to their words as fathers and teachers. Be united in faith and charity with them and with one another, so as to be ever more fervent and courageous witnesses of Christ. I greet you first, dear Cardinals of the Church in Italy!

  • Exegesis and Hermeneutics1 Dr. Nuria Calduc-Benages (International Congress of the Catholic Biblical Federation: Word and Life
    Exegesis and Hermeneutics1 Dr. Nuria Calduc-Benages (International Congress of the Catholic Biblical Federation: Word and Life. Biblical Animation of the life and the mission of the Church (VD 73). Experience and challenges. Rome. April l24, 2019. Exegesis and hermeneutics are two terms familiar to specialists in the biblical sciences.2 In those environs and academic documents they are constantly referred to in order to reference the interpretive process, certainly complex, which the reading of the biblical texts requires. On the other hand, it's quite probable that for those not initiated into this field of knowledge such words may be practically unknown. In fact, they do not belong to the vocabulary which people habitually use in everyday life. And so, if in place of exegesis and hermeneutics, we were to speak about the study of the text and the current meaning of its message, I am sure that the above-mentioned difficulty would be automatically superseded.3 The objective of my mentioning this is not to do a detailed study of these disciplines, which is much beyond our realistic possibilities of time 1 This text is a reduced version and with some variants of the article published in the Boletín Dei Verbum, no. 108 (2018). 2 See B.
