  • Papal Annual Medals, 1605–1700
    religions Article Pressing Metal, Pressing Politics: Papal Annual Medals, 1605–1700 Matthew Knox Averett Department of Fine and Performing Arts, Creighton University, 2500 California Plaza, Omaha, NE 68178, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-402-280-1455; Fax: +1-402-280-2320 Academic Editor: Ted G. Jelen Received: 18 February 2016; Accepted: 11 May 2016; Published: 20 May 2016 Abstract: This article surveys images depicted on the reverses of papal annual medals in the seventeenth century, beginning in 1605 under Paul V (r. 1605–21) with the first confirmed annual medal, and ending in 1700 at the conclusion of the papacy of Innocent XII (r. 1691–1700), a reign that marked a distinct change in papal politics in advance of the eighteenth century. The article mines a wealth of numismatics images and places it within a narrative of seventeenth-century papal politics. In the ninety-six years under consideration, ten popes issued ninety-four annual medals (sede vacante produced generic annual medals in 1667 and 1691). Annual medals are a unique iteration of papal commemorative medals and they celebrate an important papal achievement from the preceding year. The production of annual medals was an exercise in identity creation, undertaken to advance the image of the pope as an aristocratic prince in three specific roles: as builder, warrior, and impresario. The timeliness of the medals makes them valuable sources to gauge the perceived success of the papacy on an annual basis and to chart the political course plotted by popes through the seventeenth century. Keywords: Rome; papacy; annual medals; numismatics 1.

    Name _____________________________________ Date _______________ Saint John of God Directions: Read the biography and answer the questions. Saint John of God was born in Portugal in 1495 to devout Catholic parents. As a young boy he was either lost or kidnapped (biographies are uncertain) and separated from his parents near Toledo, Spain. Orphaned and homeless at first, John eventually found a farming family hire him to work as a shepherd. The farmer loved the boy and wanted him to marry his daughter, but John avoided the arrangement by joining the military as an adult. He spent nearly twenty years of his life serving as a soldier in various ways. His conversion to Christianity came later in life when he heard a homily from Saint John of Avila, who would become his spiritual adviser. Saint John of God felt so guilty for his past sins as a solider that he physically beat himself in public causing such a scene that he was put into a mental institution. His spiritual adviser came to speak with him and convinced him to serve the poor and sick rather than punish himself. Saint John of God followed his counsel and spent the remainder of his life housing the poor and sick in a home he converted into a hospital. He died on March 8, his birthday, in 1550. His saintly acts of service inspired his followers to form the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God in his name. 1. Why do you think Saint John of God is one of the patron saints of soldiers? _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 2.

SJG03_FatherofPoor_FINAL.indd 1 1/2/06, 11:56 AM Introduction ope Félix de Vega Carpio, the Spanish playwright of the 16th century, was so impressed by John Lof God’s story that he marvelled: “John of God, what novel could be like your life.” I could not agree more! And from experience I can say that it is even more fascinating to tell John of God’s story than it is to hear it. Nobody has told John of God’s story better than his fi rst biographer, Francisco de Castro, whose“Story of the Life and Holy Works of John of God, and the Institution of his Order and the Beginnings of His Hospital” was written within thirty years of John’s death. It drew on the knowledge of John of God that inspired and underpinned the daily life of Granada’s John of God Hospital of which Castro was the Rector. However, when the Australasian Province of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God decided to publish this illustrated book as part of its Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1997 a text was required that would be more concise than Castro’s and also take into account the fruits of recent research into the saint’s life. Most of today’s new insights into the events of John of God’s life, and new data, have been brought forward in two recent publications - José Maria Javierre’s Juan de Dios Loco en Granada, and José Sánchez Martínez’s ‘Kénosis-Diakonía’ en el itinerario espiritual de San Juan de Dios.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ENCYCLICAL LETTER DEUS CARITAS EST OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF BENEDICT XVI TO THE BISHOPS PRIESTS AND DEACONS MEN AND WOMEN RELIGIOUS AND ALL THE LAY FAITHFUL ON CHRISTIAN LOVE INTRODUCTION 1. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 Jn 4:16). These words from the First Letter of John express with remarkable clarity the heart of the Christian faith: the Christian image of God and the resulting image of mankind and its destiny. In the same verse, Saint John also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: “We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us”. We have come to believe in God's love: in these words the Christian can express the fundamental decision of his life. Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. Saint John's Gospel describes that event in these words: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should ... have eternal life” (3:16). In acknowledging the centrality of love, Christian faith has retained the core of Israel's faith, while at the same time giving it new depth and breadth. The pious Jew prayed daily the words of the Book of Deuteronomy which expressed the heart of his existence: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might” (6:4-5).
