  • TOWARDS a NEW IDENTITY the Vocation and Mission of Lay Brother in the Order Rome 2002
    Order of the Discalced Brothers of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel P. Camilo Maccise TOWARDS A NEW IDENTITY The vocation and mission of Lay Brother in the Order Rome 2002 INTRODUCTION A present day topic 1. For some years now I have wanted to propose to the Order a reflection on the vocation and mission of the brothers in our religious family. Various circumstances obliged me to delay its preparation, especially the expectation for the last seven years of the publication of a document from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life on the topic, which was requested by the Synod on consecrated life(1). Since my second sexennium as Superior General is coming to a close I decided to turn this desire into reality. In effect, I consider it urgent and topical to offer some considerations on the theme in the light of history, present-day challenges and future prospects for this form of vocation within the Teresian Carmel. Even though it is true we are juridically a clerical Institute(2), at Carmel's beginnings there was no distinction between cleric and lay members. All were simply "Brothers"(3). As late as 1253, the Prior General of the Order was a lay brother. The Order came to know, like other religious families, the phenomenon of clericalization, which became a char- acteristic of religious life in the West. Our senior members know how much the distinction be- tween “Brothers” and "Fathers" had its effect on mentalities, customs and ways of living. 2.

  • Hugh Taylor, a Carthusian Lay Brother
    Watch" at dead of night, he saw a procession of angels Hugh Taylor, a in white raiment, each bearing a lighted candle in his hand. Entering the sacristy, they went straight to the carthusian Lay place in which the Sacristan had concealed the sacred particle. They bowed down in deepest adoration, brother opened the pyx, and after remaining some moments in contemplation of their Lord hidden in the Sacrament of Source: The Tablet – The International Catholic News weekly - Page His love to men, they vanished away. When morning 22, 16th March 1895 came, Brother Hugh asked the Sacristan if he had not placed the sacred particle he spoke of in that place. The The Catholic Truth Society has just published a short life answer being in the affirmative, Hugh told the story of of Dom Maurice Chauncy and Brother Hugh Taylor, his vision, and the Sacristan, fully assured by this grace, from the pen of Dom Lawrence Hendriks, of the same consumed the particle during his Mass; "neither," says order. Hugh Taylor was a Conversus, or professed lay Chauncy, "did he fear death, for he received the Author brother, distinguished by his virtues and by the evident of life, not sickness, for he received Him Who healeth all efficacy of his prayers; He entered the London our infirmities; nor did he any longer feel repugnance, Charterhouse in 1518. for he tasted in spirit that the Lord is sweet."

Please express my gratitude and fraternal best wishes to Father Vincent Biaggi, S.J. and to your pastor Father James Donovan, S.J. Thank you to Father Daniel O’Brien, S.J., associate pastor of the shared parishes of Saint Martha, Uniondale and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, Roosevelt for your presence here today. Together, Bishop William Murphy, Bishop Robert Coyle, Bishop Luis Romero, Fr. Bright, Fr. Herman, Fr. Alessandro da Luz, seminarian Louis Cona and I celebrate this historic moment with you, with our Holy Father Pope Francis, with Jesuits around the world, and with the People of God of the Diocese of Rockville Centre and the universal Church. It was in 1978 that Father Joseph Austin, S.J. arrived at Saint Anthony’s in Oceanside as a new pastor with two other members of the Society of Jesus.1 Our diocese and generations of Saint Anthony’s parishioners have been blessed by the spiritual charism and evangelizing spirit of the Society of Jesus. Founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the Society of Jesus or “the Jesuits”, of which our Holy Father Pope Francis is a member, is the largest male religious order in the Catholic Church.

It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, Studies in the Spirituality of Jesuits. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the Unit- ed States. The issues treatecl may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, re- ligious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for Ameri- can Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR R. Bentley Anderson, S.J., teaches history at St. Louis University, St. Louis, Mo. (2008) Richard A. Blake, S.

  • A Brief History of Western of Monasticism
    Click here to order the book or the accompanying PowerPoint (http://www.sundayschoolcourses.com/monastic/monastic.htm) A Brief History of Western Monasticism Written by Robert Jones Acworth, Georgia 2000, 2009 Robert C. Jones Christian Theology and History Adult Sunday School Courses Robert Jones www.sundayschoolcourses.com I’ve always been a strong believer in adult Sunday School classes and Bible studies in our churches. And many churches have quality, Biblically-based adult-focused programs. Unfortunately, just as many churches tend to downplay adult education, focusing on children’s education (not a bad thing in itself), or focusing on the needs of the “unchurched”, where topics such as church history and theology are often purposely ignored. Yet there is a strong need for adult education focused on both the Bible and the basic tenets and history of the Faith. Among the reasons: Not all adults come from a strong childhood background in the church – adult Sunday School classes/Bible studies may be their first serious introduction to what Christianity is all about Christianity (and especially Evangelical Christianity) is under constant attack from the media and popular culture (movies, music, etc.). We need to give fellow Christians the tools to defend the Faith against at- tack (or to provide a “ready defense” as Peter says in 1 Peter 3:15) Even adult Christians that have a strong Biblical background often know little about the origins and history of their Faith To better meet the needs of adult Christians (both those mature in their Faith, and those just starting out in the “School of Christ”), I’ve written a series of courses that focus on the history of the Christian Church (including the Jewish roots), as well as the development of doctrine in the Church.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: Prayer to Christ, who is recognized as being truly present in the Sacrament, which is displayed for the people. Adoration: Refers to the external acts of reverent admiration or honor given to a thing or person. In the Catholic faith, adoration is reserved to God alone and to Jesus present in the consecrated Eucharist. Alb: The white garment covering one's street dress. Alleluia Acclamation: This acclamation of praise to God follows the second reading and serves to prepare the assembly for the Gospel. Altar: A table on which the sacrifice of the Mass is offered. It is the center of importance in the place where the Mass is celebrated. Also called: The Table of the Lord. Ambo: The place where the Scriptures are proclaimed. Avoid: Pulpit Amen: 1) Hebrew word meaning truly, it is true. As concluding word of prayers it expressed assent to and acceptance of God's will; 2) called the great Amen, it is the acclamation by the people expressing their agreement with all that has been said and done in the Eucharistic prayer. Annul: Properly called the degree of nullity, this is the declaration by authorities that a marriage is null and void, because it was never valid. Annulment: Technically called a decree of nullity, an annulment of a marriage is a decision by a church court, confirmed by an appellate court, that a putative marriage was not valid from the start because something was lacking: full knowledge and consent by both parties, freedom from force or grave fear, or some other factor needed for a valid marriage.

Amid the poverty and sometimes hope- lessness, there are beacons of hope, lights that shine with a stream of generos- ity. Some of that light comes from the work of members of the Order of Malta. Members of the American Association are deeply involved in on-going aid to these beautiful people, many of whom have no where else to turn. Members of the American Association are giving of their time and their treasure to help. This is the first of a three part series on three major works supported by mem- bers of the Order of Malta that help to make a difference in Haiti.
