  • The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret
    Saint Anthony Mary Claret AUTOBIOGRAPHY Edited by JOSÉ MARIA VIÑAS, CMF Director Studium Claretianum Rome Forward by ALFRED ESPOSITO, CMF Claretian Publications Chicago, 1976 FOREWORD The General Prefecture for Religious Life has for some time wanted to bring out a pocket edition of the Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret to enable all Claretians to enjoy the benefit of personal contact with the most authentic source of our charism and spirit. Without discounting the value of consulting other editions, it was felt there was a real need to make this basic text fully available to all Claretians. The need seemed all the more pressing in view of the assessment of the General Chapter of 1973: "Although, on the one hand, the essential elements and rationale of our charism are sufficiently explicit and well defined in the declarations 'On the Charism of our Founder' and 'On the Spiritual Heritage of the Congregation' (1967), on the other hand, they do not seem to have been sufficiently assimilated personally or communitarily, or fully integrated into our life" (cf. RL, 7, a and b). Our Claretian family's inner need to become vitally aware of its own charism is a matter that concerns the whole Church. Pope Paul's motu proprio "Ecclesiae Sanctae" prescribes that "for the betterment of the Church itself, religious institutes should strive to achieve an authentic understanding of their original spirit, so that adhering to it faithfully in their decisions for adaptation, religious life may be purified of elements that are foreign to it and freed from whatever is outdated" (II, 16, 3).

  • The Charterhouse of Nonenque: a Discussion of an Existing Medieval Nunnery in the Context of Carthusian Architecture
    The charterhouse of Nonenque: a discussion of an existing medieval nunnery in the context of Carthusian architecture Carol Steyn Research fellow, Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology, University of South Africa E-mail: [email protected] The Charterhouse of Nonenque is one of the few remaining charterhouses for nuns in the world. It was built in the 12th century as a Cistercian Abbey and adapted in the early 20th century as a Carthusian charterhouse. In this article the buildings of Nonenque are described according to the plans of the layout after a brief history of the abbey. The structure of the buildings is discussed in the context of Carthusian architecture and also in the context of the Carthusian way of life. Carthusian architecture is shown to be unique in monastic architecture since the Carthusian way of life demands greater solitude than those of the other orders and buildings are constructed to make provision for this. Since Nonenque was adapted from a Cistercian building the measures needed to adapt buildings of other orders to Carthusian needs are discussed. These adaptations are more radical in the case of Charterhouses for monks than in those for nuns. Works of art at Nonenque are discussed briefly. This article on Nonenque follows on a visit of a few days which I was allowed to make to the nunnery in 2004. Die Kartuisiese klooster van Nonenque: 'n bespreking van 'n bestaande middeleeuse nonneklooster in die verband van Kartuisiese argitektuur Die Kartuisiese klooster van Nonenque is een van die min oorblywende Kartuisiese kloosters vir nonne in die wêreld.

    My journey continues... Written by: Gail Nampel You may remember during the fall of 2014, I shared that I was excited to be on a stewardship journey and invited anyone that felt called, to join me. Recently, my journey took me to Italy and I’m thrilled and honored to share the experience with you. This past December, while doing some work on my computer, I received an email from Mountain Bu- torac ‘The Catholic Traveler’ announcing that he was offering “A Low Season” pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. A one-week, all-inclusive pilgrimage that included daily Mass at destinations like The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, The Pontifical North American College. Plus, we’d step through six sets of Holy Doors, tour the Basilicas of St. Clare, St Mary Major, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran, the Vatican Museum, attend the Pope’s General Audience on Ash Wednesday, take the Scavi Tour, climb The Holy Stairs at the Chapel Volume of2, IssueSan Lorenzo3 and much, much, more! – This trip was being offered to the first sixteen people that replied…for a price that was FAR less than one might expect! What was there to think about? I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and finally had the opportunity! I immediately replied with a HUGE affirmative! I’m in! I’m going! My fellow pilgrims and I landed at the airport in Rome on Sunday, February 7th at 10:30 AM, boarded a bus and headed to the incredibly picturesque city of Assisi, situated in the slopes of Mount Subasio.

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • TOWARDS a NEW IDENTITY the Vocation and Mission of Lay Brother in the Order Rome 2002
    Order of the Discalced Brothers of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel P. Camilo Maccise TOWARDS A NEW IDENTITY The vocation and mission of Lay Brother in the Order Rome 2002 INTRODUCTION A present day topic 1. For some years now I have wanted to propose to the Order a reflection on the vocation and mission of the brothers in our religious family. Various circumstances obliged me to delay its preparation, especially the expectation for the last seven years of the publication of a document from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life on the topic, which was requested by the Synod on consecrated life(1). Since my second sexennium as Superior General is coming to a close I decided to turn this desire into reality. In effect, I consider it urgent and topical to offer some considerations on the theme in the light of history, present-day challenges and future prospects for this form of vocation within the Teresian Carmel. Even though it is true we are juridically a clerical Institute(2), at Carmel's beginnings there was no distinction between cleric and lay members. All were simply "Brothers"(3). As late as 1253, the Prior General of the Order was a lay brother. The Order came to know, like other religious families, the phenomenon of clericalization, which became a char- acteristic of religious life in the West. Our senior members know how much the distinction be- tween “Brothers” and "Fathers" had its effect on mentalities, customs and ways of living. 2.

  • How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect
    How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D. Before me are several interesting questions on how we should address priests and religious men and women sent to my desk recently by a lady. I will answer them today on the TIA website, since I think that my correspondent is not the only one with similar queries. In times past every Catholic used to know some of the simple rules that have been set aside from disuse. The general protocol was taught by sisters in grade school, but more often was learned as in osmosis from everyday practice. No one dreamed of calling Father O’Reilly by the nickname “Bill,” or, addressing Sister Margaret Mary as “Maggie.” Everyone knew you rose as a sign of respect when a priest or religious entered the room. Speaking before a gathering that included clergy or religious, a Catholic speaker as habit addressed them solemnly first. The dignified sisters inspired respect. Above, a sister teaches protocol in a pre-Vatican II Catholic classroom. But then came the tumultuous and leveling aftermath of Vatican II that spelled a death to formalities in the religious sphere. Priests, monks and sisters began to adopt the ways of a world that were becoming increasingly vulgar and egalitarian. Distinguishing titles and marks of respect were considered alienating and only for old- fashioned “establishment” people who were afraid to embrace the “signs of the times.” In the spirit of adaptation to the world, the cassock and habit were abandoned, along with the formal signs of respect paid to the persons who wore them.

  • The Premonstratensian Project
    Chapter 7 The Premonstratensian Project Carol Neel 1 Introduction The order of Prémontré, in the hundred years after the foundation of its first religious community in 1120, instantiated the vibrant religious enthusiasm of the long twelfth century. Like other religious orders originating in the medieval reformation of Catholic Christianity, the Premonstratensians looked to the early church for their inspiration, but to the rule of Augustine rather than to the rule of Benedict whose reinterpretation defined the still more numerous and influential Cistercians.1 The Premonstratensian framers, in the first in- stance their founder Norbert of Xanten (d. 1134), understood the Augustinian rule to have been composed by the ancient bishop for his own community of priests in Hippo, hence believed it the most ancient and venerable of constitu- tions for intentional religious life in the Latin-speaking West.2 As Regular Can- ons ordained to priesthood and living together in community under the rule of Augustine rather than monks according to a reformed Benedictine model, the Premonstratensians were then both primitivist and innovative. While the or- der of Prémontré embraced the novelty of its own project in interpreting the Augustinian ideal for a Europe reshaped by Gregorian Reform, burgeoning lay piety, and a Crusader spirit, at the same time it homed to an ancient paradigm of a priesthood informed and inspired by the sharing of poverty and prayer. Among numerous contemporaneous reform movements and religious com- munities claiming return to apostolic values, the medieval Premonstratensians thus maintained a vivid consciousness of the distinctiveness of their charism as a mixed apostolate bringing together contemplative retreat and active en- gagement in the secular world.
