Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response. -
Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939
Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2014 © 2013 William M. Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby -
Agenda Paolina
2015 AGENDA PAOLINA con riflessioni quotidiane dagli scritti del beato Giacomo Alberione Anno LIX © SASP s.r.l., 2014 Copertina di Mario Moscatello, ssp La Basilica di San Pietro trasformata in aula conciliare (1962-1965). PRESENTAZIONE Cinquant’anni fa, il 7 dicembre 1965, si chiudeva il Concilio ecumenico Vaticano II. La medicina della misericordia, auspicata per la Chiesa da papa Gio- vanni XXIII nel giorno di apertura (11 ottobre 1962), aveva pervaso l’Assise conciliare e si era dispiegata, fino a farne il paradigma spirituale, nell’antica storia del Samaritano chino con simpatia immensa sull’uo- mo contemporaneo, come rilevò Paolo VI nell’allocu- zione conclusiva. Don Alberione visse il Concilio in prima persona, quale padre conciliare, e vi partecipò con il suo stile, che il gesuita p. Enrico Baragli descrisse così: “Lo vedo ancora nell’Aula conciliare, seconda tribuna a destra, sotto l’altoparlante. Pregare raccolto durante la Messa; ascoltare in silenzio, durante le discussioni; di tanto in tanto prendere qualche nota”. Non prese mai la parola, ma ne fu intensamente partecipe, come attestano i suoi contributi scritti (raccolti nel volume Don Alberione al Concilio Vaticano II di don Andrea Damino ssp) e l’esultanza per l’approvazione del decreto Inter Mirifi- ca. Per il Concilio pregò e invitò a pregare; ne parlò con assiduità ai suoi figli e figlie, accentuandone l’aspetto pastorale; negli anni 1966-1968 riservò i pen- sieri del Calendario Paolino ai documenti conciliari, avvertendone la vitalità e la ricchezza. A questo straordinario evento ecclesiale, additato da Giovanni Paolo II come “la grande grazia di cui la Chiesa ha beneficiato nel secolo XX” e “sicura bussola per orientarci nel cammino” (Novo Millennio ineunte, 57), si accosta l’Agenda Paolina. -

The Jesuit Mission and Jihi No Kumi (Confraria De Misericórdia)
The Jesuit Mission and Jihi no Kumi (Confraria de Misericórdia) Takashi GONOI Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo Introduction During the 80-year period starting when the Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier and his party arrived in Kagoshima in August of 1549 and propagated their Christian teachings until the early 1630s, it is estimated that a total of 760,000 Japanese converted to Chris- tianity. Followers of Christianity were called “kirishitan” in Japanese from the Portu- guese christão. As of January 1614, when the Tokugawa shogunate enacted its prohibi- tion of the religion, kirishitan are estimated to have been 370,000. This corresponds to 2.2% of the estimated population of 17 million of the time (the number of Christians in Japan today is estimated at around 1.1 million with Roman Catholics and Protestants combined, amounting to 0.9% of total population of 127 million). In November 1614, 99 missionaries were expelled from Japan. This was about two-thirds of the total number in the country. The 45 missionaries who stayed behind in hiding engaged in religious in- struction of the remaining kirishitan. The small number of missionaries was assisted by brotherhoods and sodalities, which acted in the missionaries’ place to provide care and guidance to the various kirishitan communities in different parts of Japan. During the two and a half centuries of harsh prohibition of Christianity, the confraria (“brother- hood”, translated as “kumi” in Japanese) played a major role in maintaining the faith of the hidden kirishitan. An overview of the state of the kirishitan faith in premodern Japan will be given in terms of the process of formation of that faith, its actual condition, and the activities of the confraria. -

Agenda Paolina
2021 AGENDA PAOLINA con riflessioni quotidiane dagli scritti del beato Giacomo Alberione Anno LXV © SASP s.r.l., 2020 Copertina di Ulysses Navarro, ssp “Gesù Maestro Via Verità Vita”: realizzazione grafica di Ulysses Navarro, ssp PRESENTAZIONE «Ut unum sint». Dalla Parola l’unità. La comunione con la Trinità come senso ultimo della nostra vita aposto- lica, del nostro vivere insieme per l’evangelizzazione e del nostro operare perché l’umanità possa incontrare Gesù Maestro. Ma anche la comunione come stile di vita e mentalità, continuamente rinnovata da Cristo e dalle nuove frontiere della missione paolina. Questo essere “uno” esprime il senso del “corpo”, della Famiglia Paolina pronta a operare insieme, a pregare insieme per l’umani- tà, a generare nuovi percorsi di vita. Lo sfondo dei brani scelti per l’Agenda Paolina 2021 è la sinodalità, tema tanto caro a Papa Francesco e neces- sario per vivere la nostra missione. “Camminare insieme”, nella diversità dei doni, è un atteggiamento profondo ma anche un modo di operare. “Sinodali” lo siamo nel vivere la nostra missione come Famiglia, quando la Parola di Dio ci raggiunge, ci conquista e dà nuovi significati al no- stro essere in mezzo all’umanità di oggi. La vita del Beato Giacomo Alberione, nel Centenario della sua professione religiosa (5 ottobre), è per noi un esempio perché impre- gnata di incontri, di reciprocità, di ascolto, di coinvolgi- mento… Il suo amore alla Scrittura, e in particolare alle Lettere di san Paolo, ha plasmato il suo modo di vivere da apostolo e di esserci padre. Durante quest’anno celebriamo il 50° della morte del Primo Maestro e portiamo a termine, proprio il 26 no- vembre, l’Anno Biblico di Famiglia Paolina. -
