(01343) 890257 fax 890258 Email [email protected] and [email protected] Website www.pluscardenabbey.org DMB series No 45 Oblate Letter 45 Lent 2019 Monastic Voice DAME LAURENTIA JOHNS OSB OBLATE DIRECTOR STANBROOK ABBEY: THE WAY OF BENEDICT EIGHT BLESSINGS FOR LENT published 2019 Blessings of attentiveness The great blessing of attentiveness has to be that through it we grow closer to God. Prayer begins when we are attentive to the pull towards God that he has placed in our hearts. When we heed that call, and start to respond by deciding to commit time to personal prayer, we grow in self-knowledge. With this knowledge, there usually comes a realization that we need to change -metanoia -and the grace to do so is never lacking if we ask, so conversion can be seen as a further blessing of attentiveness. Gradually, through faithfulness in prayer, a kind of spiritual transfusion takes place as our more negative drives are overtaken by the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, humility and self-control (Gal. 5.22-23). There are many regressions, of course, and any 'improvement' may be fairly imperceptible, but a sign that we are growing closer to God in prayer is that we are generally more accepting of our own and other peopIe's shortcomings. FROM THE OBLATEMASTER'S DESK:- Our Monastic Voice in this quarter that coincides with Lent focuses our minds on what monastic life is about and what Lent is about and what Oblate life is about-- conversion of life-- conversatio morumand how this can come about.

  • Take the Highroad the Life of Sister Mary Francis of the Five Wounds Margaret Sinclair
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com [email protected] Take the Highroad The Life of Sister Mary Francis of the Five Wounds Margaret Sinclair Margaret Sinclair Sister Mary Francis of the Five Wounds (1900 -1925) By a Poor Clare Colettine Nun Ty Mam Duw Monastery, Hawarden, Wales 2007 At the highest point on Castle Rock overlooking the city of Edinburgh is the tiny chapel where St. Margaret, the 11th century Queen of Scotland, prayed; and down below tucked out of sight were the blackened tenements of Middle Arthur Place and Blackfriars Street, where Margaret Sinclair was born and reared. Margaret was daughter of an Edinburgh dustman, and she did her praying in the humble surrounds of' St Patrick's, poorly dressed and with a baby sister in the crook of her arm. Edinburgh is a city of contrasts. It was the home of Knox and the Presbyterian Kirk. Less than fifty years before Margaret was born a Presbyterian minister, McLeod Campbell, was deposed by a general assembly of the Church of Scotland there for preaching such outrageously Catholic doctrines as "the universality of God's love for mankind and Christ's atonement for sin." In 1900 when Margaret was born, religious tolerance was not Edinburgh's most conspicuous feature. 1 Andrew Sinclair, Margaret's father, was a convert to Catholicism. He had taught himself to read and write for he had never been to school. His wife Elizabeth was scarcely better off, yet between them they provided a genuinely loving home in the three-roomed flat where they brought up their six children.

  • 1969 Tarana Reflects the Col­ Lective Change in Attitudes and Ac­ Tions
    LD6501.S6 T37 1969 Spartanburg Technical College. Tarana / I J f>- Images of Change More than a technical education institution, Spartanburg TEC is a fusion of ideas and backgrounds of many diverse people. Among these people are the students, the pulse of the TEC body, converging their fresh active minds and youthful energies in ex­ ploring life and making challenges turn into triumphs. The refreshing progressive attitudes of the stu­ dents have initiated, as part of the school's function, a revolution and change within our society. The 1969 Tarana reflects the col­ lective change in attitudes and ac­ tions. It reveals the awareness, spirit and enthusiam displayed by the whole Spartanburg TEC com­ munity this year. A Revolution in Learning Fuses Ideals Present in our dreams, occuring frequently in our study and cropping-up quite unexpectedly in our daily discussions, this revolution in re­ newed thought and reason has no boundary or limits and 1s a welcomed companion to the trav­ elers about to diverge into a new world. Echoes of campus life reflect the challenge of thoughts and ideas sprouted from the seeds propagated by an element of a changing socie­ ty. Analyzing and synthesizing, diverging and converging, contemplating and projecting, the people have given a new vision and dimension to the learning center. Reflections alone do not bring about change. Only involvement and action help refashion and model a changing world. TEC students are taught the never ending task of forging reality out of theories and dreams of what might be. They study unrelent­ lessly in a never ending task of absorbing and putting to practice skills learned in the class­ room.

  • Binding Words: Textual Amulets in the Middle Ages
    MAGIC IN MAGIC IN HISTORY HISTORY MAGICMAGIC ININ HISTORYHISTORY BINDING “Binding Words covers a wide territory, temporally and geographically, to show how amulets are embedded in the fabric of medieval European socie- ty as both physical and cultural artifacts. The book avoids artificial distinc- tions between magic and religion, prayer and charm, to show how an amulet can be simultaneously devotional and protective. This contextual- ized approach is a significant contribution to the field.” —Karen Jolly, University of Hawai’i at Manoa In the Middle Ages, textual amulets—short texts written on parchment or paper and worn on the body—were thought to protect the bearer against enemies, to heal afflictions caused by demonic invasions, and to bring the wearer good fortune. In Binding Words, Don C. Skemer provides the first W book-length study of this once-common means of harnessing the magical power of words. ORDS Textual amulets were a unique source of empowerment, promising the BINDINGBINDING believer safe passage through a precarious world by means of an ever- changing mix of Scriptural quotations, divine names, common prayers, and liturgical formulas. Although theologians and canon lawyers frequently derided textual amulets as ignorant superstition, many literate clergy played a central role in producing and disseminating them. The texts were, in turn, embraced by a broad cross section of Western Europe. Saints and parish in the Middle Ages priests, physicians and village healers, landowners and peasants alike T WORDS extual Amulets WORDS believed in their efficacy.
