No doubt, part of my fascination was cultural. As an American, I can find a connection to England in the language I speak, Common Law, and Magna Carta. English and American ties are strongly historical. Origin- - be it political or genealogical- - shapes identity. When I first traveled to England in 1972, it was like a "homecoming." It was exciting to visit Stratford- on-Avon and attend a Shakespearean play, to photograph the Yeoman Guard at the "Bloody Tower" and see the Crown Jewels. But, after the major sights, as a Catholic priest, I was eager to make a pilgrimage to Walsingham. Walsingham, more than any other site, recalls England's Catholic heritage. It was the pre-eminent shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary before the "Reformation." For pilgrims, it was on a par with Canterbury, Santiago de Compostela, Rome, and Jerusalem. What was it that attracted pilgrims from all over Europe to Walsingham? In 1061, an Anglo- Saxon gentlewoman, Richeldis de Faverche, claimed that the Blessed Virgin had appeared to her. In the vision, Our Lady asked Richeldis to build a replica of the “Holy House” of Nazareth. A fifteenth century anonymous ballad recounts the miraculous construction of the house . With a location chosen by Our Lady herself, the house was the labor of men and angels! Richeldis founded a chapel to enclose the “Holy House.” Her son, Geoffrey, endowed the chapel and placed Page Three Sixth Sunday of Easter May 17, 2009 it under the guardianship of a religious order. In 1153, the Augustinian Canons became “guardians” and did much to promote pilgrimages to Walsingham. Walsingham became known as “England's Nazareth.” It enjoyed royal patronage throughout the Middle Ages. A high point was when King Richard II offered his Kingdom as the “Dowry of Mary.” English monarchs were frequent pilgrims; for they considered themselves “vassals” of the Mother of God! This was true even early in the reign of King Henry VIII. He and Queen Catherine of Aragon went to Walsingham to pray for a male heir. When the son born to Henry and Catherine died shortly after birth, the king apparently lost his faith in Our Lady of Walsingham. With the Act of Supremacy (1534), Henry VlII declared himself the supreme head of the Church in England. In time, the commission Henry appointed to "inspect" monasteries and shrines, as well as a Catholic rebellion in the North, caused the king to suppress religious houses and confiscate their property. Late in 1538, the shrine and monastery at Walsingham were looted and “put to the torch.” The image of Our Lady of Walsingham, with other madonnas, was burnt at Chelsea in July of 1539. Toward the end of the sixteenth century, St. Philip Howard, who was destined to be a martyr himself, gazed at the ruins of Walsingham. He sensed the profound loss of faith there and lamented: “Heaven is turned to hell!” For three hundred years, the Catholic faith “went underground,” but was not lost. The monasteries were in ruins and the small "Slipper Chapel" had been used for a storage barn. But in the Church of England, the “Oxford Movement” and the “Anglo-Catholic Movement” brought many back to traditional beliefs and practices. Roman Catholics were given back fundamental rights through the "Catholic Emancipation Bill” (1829). In 1896, Charlotte Boyd, a recent convert to Roman Catholicism, purchased the "Slipper ChapeI." The next year, Pope Leo XIII re-established the beautifully restored chapel as a Roman Catholic shrine. In 1934, it was designated as the "English National Catholic Sanctuary." Our Lady of Walsingham was honored' during the Marian Year (l954) with a crown sent by the pope. And, while the late Pope John Paul II was unable to make a pilgrimage to Walsingham, he celebrated Mass in England near an image of Our Lady of Walsingham. Inspiring too is the story of the restored Anglican Shrine. A charismatic, young Anglican priest, Fr. Alfred Hope Patten, was appointed Vicar of Walsingham in 1921. Fr. Patten was a zealous Anglo-Catholic. He had a sculptor carve an image of Our Lady of Walsingham from an old seal. He placed the image the Parish Church of St. Mary and restored the pre-Reformation devotion. Growing in popularity, the devotion prompted Fr. Patten to build a Pilgrim Hospice. In 1931, a “Holy House” was constructed and encased in a new Pilgrimage Church. The statue of Our Lady was solemnly translated to the “Holy House” chapel. Since 1938, an enlarged church has welcomed Anglican pilgrims. The Church is sumptuously adorned with chapels to the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and shrines honoring the saints. The Anglican shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham reflects the late Fr. Patten's passion to “restore all things in Christ” and honor the Mother of God. I was deeply moved by the Mass I celebrated in the “Slipper Chapel.” I felt part of a great act of reparation and affirmation of Catholic tradition. It is the Mass and devotion to Our Lady that have opened the way for reconciliation between Catholics and Anglicans. As I concluded the Mass, I saw a large group of young people. They had removed their shoes and were praying before Our Lady's image. They rose from their knees, and left the chapel barefoot. I learned that they were Anglicans! I was told they would walk the final mile to the Anglican Shrine as pilgrims had done before the “reformation.” It was that witness of “Christian Unity that has made Walsingham one of my Page Four Sixth Sunday of Easter May 17, 2009 favorite Marian Shrines. -Fr.

His major theme is the role of the Holy Spirit, who enables the apostles to be effective witnesses to Jesus. The Holy Spirit is mentioned 57 times in the Acts of the Apostles.” EPHESIANS: “Today’s passage was chosen because of its reference to Jesus’ ascent to heaven, which is contrasted with his descent to the dead. Early Christians believed that those who died before the coming of Jesus awaited redemption in a shadowy existence described here as the lower regions of the earth. It is our Christian tradition that immediately after his death, Jesus went to these people to announce that they had been saved.” Page Five Sixth Sunday of Easter May 17, 2009 EDUCATION RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS *Thank you to the Parish Community for your prayers, example, encouragement and support of the RE Program this past year.

Waller 1 An Erasmian Pilgrimage to Walsingham By Gary Waller Professor of Literature, Cultural Studies and Drama Studies Purchase College, State University of New York In the summer of 2006, I undertook what I will explain was an ‘Erasmian’ pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, in remote northern Norfolk. I did so partly for scholarly purposes, partly from nostalgia for peregrinations there in student days. What I discovered--as in the case of so many folk who longen “to goon on pilgrimages”--was an unexpected measure of the uncanny and I think that fellow peregrinators, scholars and travelers alike, might be amused by sharing my discoveries. Erasmus, who made pilgrimages to Walsingham in 1512 and 1524, traveling (as I did) from Cambridge, gave a detailed, though fictionalized, description in one of the dialogues of his Colloquies.1 He went to Walsingham when it was England’s most important medieval Marian pilgrimage site, surpassed only by the shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury as the most popular place of pilgrimage in England,.

  • Our Lady of Ipswich: Devotion, Dissonance, and the Agitation of Memory at a Forgotten Pilgrimage Site As Accepted for Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository Our Lady of Ipswich: devotion, dissonance, and the agitation of memory at a forgotten pilgrimage site As accepted for Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute Richard D.G. Irvine Abstract: This article traces the social life of Our Lady of Ipswich, a statue taken to be destroyed during the English Reformation, and the possibility of pilgrimage in the context of dramatic urban change and loss of place memory. Arguing that iconoclasm is not an end-point, we see that the life of the image is not extinguished on the pyre, but is set into motion by conflict surrounding its significance, efficacy, and survival. Indeed, it is not simply the act of iconoclasm that animates the statue; rather, such agonistic animation is an ongoing process which involves both those who reject and those who are devoted to the image. My argument is that the potency of contemporary images of Our Lady of Ipswich relies on an active cultivation of dissonance: the consciousness of religious schism; the disjuncture between Ipswich’s historic importance and the perceived failures of twentieth-century development; and the juxtaposition between devotional pilgrimage destination and disenchanted shopping space. 0 Our Lady of Ipswich: devotion, dissonance, and the agitation of memory at a forgotten pilgrimage site Lady Lane In the county of Suffolk in the East of England, down a narrow passage at the end of one of Ipswich’s pedestrianised zones, stuck above head height on the brown brick wall of a former supermarket, is a bronze statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus on her knee.1 The statue marks the location of a shrine to Our Lady of Grace, closed in 1538 when church reformers took the statue of Mary from there to London to be burned.

  • The Reformation, the Via Crucis, and the Calvary of Walsingham
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com [email protected] The Reformation, The Via Crucis, and the Calvary of Walsingham We must recognize, in justice, that in the period leading up to, and finally culminating in, the Reformation, there were scandals and abuses within the Church that needed addressing. Far too much wealth had accumulated in the hands of some. This called for both financial reform and social improvement to meet the needs an conditions of the future. Wherever human nature exists, there is always a continuing process of birth, suffering, death, and resurrection at all levels of life. It is true of the Church as well as the individual Christian. In 1534 King Henry VIII, in an abortive attempt to secure his divorce from Queen Catherine, was encouraged by his advisors to take the whole affair of the divorce into his own hands and arrogate to himself powers which had never been the prerogative of the English monarchy, to ignore the teachings of the Church and the Pope in Rome and to declare himself as the supreme head of the church in England, and it was from this decision that so much sin and violent discord followed. Those who openly resisted and refused to acknowledge and sign the Act of Supremacy, priests and people alike, were martyred. St. Thomas More, the Chancellor of England and 1 St. John Fisher are among the most notable, but there were many, many others. Many. No one is England could have foreseen how deeply wounding and widely destructive this severance would actually be.

  • Vatican Issues Updated Norms for Personal Ordinariates
    Vatican issues updated norms for personal ordinariates VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Ten years after Pope Benedict XVI established personal ordinariates for Catholics coming from the Anglican tradition, the Vatican has issued a slightly updated set of norms governing them. The updated “complementary norms” include a provision Pope Francis approved in 2013 explicitly stating that the personal ordinariates are not only for former Anglicans and their families, but also may include persons evangelized and brought into the Catholic Church through the ordinariate’s ministry. The norms, approved by Pope Francis and released April 9, were drafted and published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which oversees the ordinariates. Currently there are three personal ordinariates, which are church jurisdictions similar in some ways to a diocese: the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham serves Catholics with an Anglican tradition in England and Wales; the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter covers the United States and Canada; and the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross serves Australia. The ordinariates are led by an ordinary, who has the powers of a bishop, but may not necessarily be ordained a bishop. If the cleric chosen is a married former Anglican priest or bishop, he cannot be ordained a bishop in the Catholic Church. Whether or not the ordinary is a bishop, he is a member of the bishops’ conference in the country of the ordinariate. The updated norms also reflect the fact that since Pope Benedict opened the way for the establishment of ordinariates in 2009, the Holy See has approved liturgical texts for use in the ordinariate parishes.

    Diocesan Calendar 2021 161 DIOCESAN CALENDAR FOR EAST ANGLIA 2021 “Christ’s saving work is celebrated in sacred memory by the Church on fixed days throughout the course of the year. Each week on the day called the Lord’s Day the Church commemorates the Lord’s resurrection. Once a year at Easter the Church honours the resurrection of the Lord and his blessed passion with the utmost solemnity. In fact, through the yearly cycle the Church unfolds the entire mystery of Christ and keeps the anniversaries of the saints.” (GNLY 1) Preliminary Notes n This Calendar is based on the GENERAL ROMAN CALENDAR, the NATIONAL CALEN­ DAR as contained in the Roman Missal (2010) and the revised DIOCESAN CALENDAR. n The titular and anniversary of dedication of each church are kept as Solemnities. Lest they be overlooked, it is advisable to mark them in this Calendar. n Local observances are permitted of Saints or Beati connected in some way with the locality, as through birth, ministry, death, or custody of major relics. The Bishop should be consulted in each instance. n On the ‘green’ ferias per annum (of the year) a wide choice of Mass formula is available: EITHER of any of the 34 Sundays per annum (with the prayers of the Sunday selected, or of another Sunday, or those provided ad diversa), OR of any Saint mentioned on that day in the Martyrology, OR of any votive Mass or Mass ad diversa, OR of any Mass for the dead (provided that the daily Mass formula is only used when the Mass is, in fact, applied for the dead).

  • Walsingham History.Pages
    The History of Walsingham The Making of a Shrine FIVE years before the Norman Conquest, and in the days of St. Edward the Confessor, there lived in the little village of Walsingham Parva, a few miles from the sea on the North Norfolk coast, a pious widow lady, Richeldis, or Recholdis, de Faverches (or Faveraches), who had a great devotion to Our Lady and who desired to serve her in every possible manner. One day, in response to a particularly earnest prayer, the Blessed Virgin took the widow in a vision to Nazareth where she showed her the Holy House of the Annunciation, in which the Archangel Gabriel had delivered the Angelic Salutation, and where the Holy Family lived during the years of Our Lord's upbringing. Three times was this vision repeated, and each time there came the command that the Lady Richeldis should mark well the length and the breadth and the height 1 of 11 of the little house in order that she might set up an exact reproduction of it on her estate at Walsingham, to the praise and honour of Our Lady, and so that all who sought her there might find succour . Delighted at so wonderful a commission, the Lady Richeldis hastened to carry out her instructions, and called in the aid of skilled craftsmen to construct a house, just such as that which she had seen in the vision. But when it was made, grave doubts arose as to the correct site for the shrine. The difficulty was partly solved, however, by a strange manifestation, which seemed miraculously to indicate Our Lady's wishes.

  • The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and Contemporary Christianity
    religions Article Return to the Sacred: The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and Contemporary Christianity Susan Dunn-Hensley Department of English, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL 60187, USA; [email protected] Received: 9 March 2018; Accepted: 25 May 2018; Published: 20 June 2018 Abstract: Once one of the most popular Catholic pilgrimage sites in England, The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, now under the care of the Anglican Church, operates as a site of devotion, but it also operates as a site of memory. In this essay, I will argue that, in this place of memory, where pre-Reformation worship meets contemporary devotion and tourism, we find insights for the contemporary church. The Protestant Reformation contributed to the desacralization of the world. Later events such as the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the Scientific Revolution of the past two centuries have shifted Western attitudes about the natural world even further away from the sacred. However, every year, thousands of visitors come to Walsingham. What draws them? What are they seeking? To consider what a shrine such as Walsingham might mean to a pilgrim, I will examine Philip earl of Arundel’s poetic lament at the destruction of the shrine, William Shakespeare’s nostalgia for the sacred feminine in The Winter’s Tale, and Robert Lowell’s 1947 poetic treatment of Walsingham. I will argue that focusing on sacred spaces, particularly those associated with the sacred feminine can benefit contemporary Catholics and Protestants. Keywords: Catholic; Protestant; sacred feminine; memory; Reformation; shrine; Walsingham; Shakespeare; Robert Lowell In Spring 2008, I attended an academic conference at The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
