  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • JÉRÔME Le ROYER De La DAUVERSIÈRE
    JÉRÔME Le ROYER de la DAUVERSIÈRE Au service de Dieu et des pauvres Jérôme Le Royer de la Dauversière Jérôme Le Royer, père de famille sans grande fortune ni influence politique, fondateur d'une communauté de Filles hospitalières et fondateur de Montréal, reste un grand inconnu. Parce qu'il n'est jamais venu en Amérique, il est resté dans l'ombre de personnes telles que Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve et Jeanne Mance qu’il a lui-même choisies pour collaborer à l'actualisation de ses projets de « visionnaire ». Années sans histoire Jérôme Le Royer est né le 18 mai 1597 à La Flèche en France. Vers l'âge de dix ans, il commence ses études classiques au collège des Jésuites fondé en 1603 par le roi Henri IV. Son intelligence et son coeur s'ouvrent au monde et aux besoins nouveaux de son temps. À la fin de ses études vers 1617, le jeune homme est prêt à prendre sa place dans la société et l'Église de sa ville natale. À la mort de son père en 1619, Jérôme lui succède dans la lourde tâche de collecteur d'impôts et hérite d'un modeste domaine non loin de La Flèche, d’où le titre « sieur de la Dauversière » ajouté à son nom. En 1621, il épouse Jeanne de Baugé dont il aura cinq enfants. Un amour confiant à saint Joseph, chef de la sainte Famille, soutient le jeune couple dans son engagement en faveur des pauvres, des malades et des malheureux de toutes catégories. Ses « missions impossibles » Le 2 février 1630, en la fête de la purification de Marie, Jérôme Le Royer assiste à la messe en l'église Notre-Dame- du-Chef-du-Pont et se consacre à la sainte Famille avec sa femme et ses trois enfants.

  • Hôtel-Dieu Simone Cambridge Hôtel-Dieu De Montreal Was
    Hôtel-Dieu Simone Cambridge Hôtel-Dieu de Montreal was established by Jeanne Mance, a French-born nurse and missionary from a small village, near Langres, France (fig 1).1 Mance treated patients using a small dispensary after she arrived in Ville Marie in 1642, which would later expand to become Montreal.2 The hospital building was sponsored by Madame Angélique Faure de Bullion, the widow of one of Louis XIII’s superintendents of finance.3 In 1644, land was granted outside the fort palisade for the hospital and construction was completed in 1645.4 In June 1659, the order of the Hospitallers of St. Joseph gained control of the hospital with letters patent of Louis XIV, assisting Jeanne Mance until she died in 1673.5 The original structure of Hôtel-Dieu was prone to fires, having been burnt down and rebuilt three times before moving to its present site on Mont Sainte-Famille, Montreal in 1861.6 It now functions as a teaching hospital affiliated with Université de Montréal.7 When enslaved people could no longer be cared for by their households in Montreal, they were sent to the hospital for treatment.8 The body of an enslaved person underwent constant duress at the hands of slaveowners such as material deprivation, malnutrition (e.g. lack of protein), harsh and dangerous labour, corporal punishment, and sexual violence and exploitation. If an enslaved person was considered “worn out” by their slaveowner, they were sent to Hôtel-Dieu until they died.9 Enslaved persons were often identified in the hospital by their slaveholder or by their relationship to an enslaved relative.10 The Hôtel-Dieu’s standard of admitting enslaved persons was unusual when compared to other slaveholding regions in the transatlantic world.

  • Jeanne Mance (Langres 1606 – Montréal 1673)
    JEANNE MANCE Langres 1606 – Montréal 1673 Cofondatrice de Montréal et fondatrice de son Hôtel-Dieu Jeanne Mance a été baptisée le 12 novembre1606, à l’église Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul de Langres (Haute-Marne, Champagne)). Elle est la fille de Charles Mance, originaire de Nogent (Haute-Marne), procureur au baillage royal de Langres, et de Catherine Emonnot, issue d’une ancienne famille bourgeoise langroise. Elle est le deuxième enfant du couple qui en compta douze et qui en perdit plusieurs en bas âge. Gravure de Langres en 1606 Sa maison familiale se trouvait dans la partie Nord de Langres, dans la rue de l'Homme sauvage (actuel numéro 11 de la rue Barbier d'Aucourt). Son père disparait au début de l'été 1630 et sa mère en juillet 1632. Jeanne et sa sœur Marguerite s'occupent de leur père lors de la longue maladie de celui-ci. Les deux sœurs doivent même travailler pour faire face aux lourdes dépenses médicales. A la suite de ses parents, Jeanne entre dans la confrérie du Saint- Sacrement de Langres en 1635. 1 La Maison de Jeanne Mance, 11, rue Barbier d'Aucourt à Langres. N’ayant goût ni pour le couvent ni pour le mariage, et malgré sa santé fragile, Jeanne aide les Langrois à faire face aux nombreux problèmes, la misère, la peste et la guerre, de Trente Ans, qui, à plusieurs reprises, ravage les alentours de Langres. La peste, entre 1632 et 1638, fait près de 6000 morts à Langres et dans les environs, dont, possiblement, plusieurs frères et sœurs de Jeanne.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • You've Gone Past Us Now
    the blue afterwards Felix Shafer November 25, 2010 2 You've gone past us now. beloved comrade: north american revolutionary and political prisoner My sister and friend of these 40 years, it's over Marilyn Buck gone through the wire out into the last whirlwind. With time's increasing distance from her moment of death on the afternoon of August 3, 2010, at home in Brooklyn New York, the more that I have felt impelled to write a cohesive essay about Marilyn, the less possible such a project has become. She died at 62 years of age, surrounded by people who loved and still love her truly. She died just twenty days after being released from Carswell federal prison in Texas. Marilyn lived nearly 30 years behind bars. It was the determined effort of Soffiyah Elijah, her attorney and close friend of more than a quarter century that got her out of that prison system at all. Her loss leaves a wound that insists she must be more than a memory and still so much more than a name circulating in the bluest afterwards. If writing is one way of holding on to Marilyn, it also ramifies a crazed loneliness. Shadows lie down in unsayable places. I'm a minor player in the story who wants to be scribbling side by side with her in a cafe or perched together overlooking the Hudson from a side road along the Palisades. This work of mourning is fragmentary, impossible, subjective, politically unofficial, lovingly biased, flush with anxieties over (mis)representation, hopefully evocative of some of the 'multitude' of Marilyns contained within her soul, strange and curiously punctuated by shifts into reverie and poetic time.
