Magister Magazine Volume 1, No. 1 Lent 2021 Magister To reverence truth, desire goodness, and rejoice in beauty. Bulletin of the Gilbertine Institute Gilbertine Academy, Holy House & WISDOM 2 Magister Why Magister? Magister is a Latin word which can mean a rabbi, teacher, master, or the pilot of a ship. It brings to mind first of all One who was called “Rabbi”, “Teacher”, and “Master”: Jesus Christ. Magister was also the title most commonly given to St. Gilbert of Sempringham as the first Master, or Magister, of the Gilbertine Order. Finally, the word magister pays homage to St. John Henry Newman, that great teacher in the Anglican Catholic patrimony, and to all the great teachers of the Faith through the centuries. Truly, as Newman himself wrote in the introduction to The Idea of a University, “[w]e have a goodly inheritance.” Magister is intended to be both a bulletin and a devotional, published several times a year in preparation for the Ember Days, for the benefactors of the Gilbertine Institute, Gilbertine Academy and Holy House; to communicate by prayer and supplication, to provide news with thanksgiving, so that we may make our requests known unto God (cf. Philippians 4:6). PLEASE JOIN THE INSTITUTE IN PRAYER FOR THE LENTEN 2021 EMBER DAYS: • Wednesday, February 24 • Friday, February 26 • Saturday, February 27 N 3 Ab Clero Fr. Robert-Chas. Bengry GSmp Parish Priest, St. John the Evangelist & Chair of the Gilbertine Institute. (403)-265-5072 fall through the cracks today and are ill equipped to meet the challenges they have ahead of them. Too many fall victim to addictions, unhealthy relationships and too many lose their faith. If we are to make a difference in the world, we must start at home with our own children and give them an education worthy of the Christian heritage we seek to hand on. St. Gilbert of Sempringham has largely been forgotten. He was an English clergyman of the twelfth century. He was a teacher of children— boys and girls. He established the only Medieval Religious Order indigenous to the British Isles; a four-fold community of Nuns, Sisters, Brothers and Priests. St. Gilbert’s monasteries persisted for four hundred years until the brutal suppressions of King Henry VIII during the English Reformation. The Order would die. Gilbert’s work too would fade: he left no great architecture, no great libraries… no great art or music. No great writings. Only a legacy of holiness both of he himself and of his spiritual t is no exaggeration to say that one of my children. But that Gilbertine fingerprint and Igreatest joys in my priestly life has been echo, even five centuries later, can still be found the foundation of the Gilbertine Institute and in the spirituality preserved in the Prayer Book the associated programmes which facilitate the tradition of the Anglican Church (now united to education of young people. So many children the Catholic Church). It can be discovered in the 4 love of education, it can be found in the seeking of a personal holiness through authentic Christian discipleship. The Gilbertine spirit can be found where we seek to build up our young people in faith, hope and love and help them to bloom where they’re planted. Your friendship, prayers and support for the Gilbertine Institute are most appreciated. It is my hope that this organ of the Institute will be a tool for our mutual enrichment as we seek to educate and equip our young people towards a dynamic and life-long Christian discipleship. Gilbert, when his young brothers and priests were wearied by a long journey, appeared to them in a dream saying “Do not be sad my son, or distress yourself too much, because the work is accomplished—it is accomplished—it is accomplished.” The Brothers woke with a renewed vigour and finished their journey and successfully completed the tasks they had ahead of them. We too must remember that everything we set out to ST. GILBERT OF SEMPRINGHAM do in our work is similarly accomplished, because with Jesus Christ, all the big things are already taken care of. And so, let us step out boldly together with good courage as we seek to bring manifold riches to our children and young people. INTENTIONS: • Please, in your charity, pray for children who do not have access to a stable home and a good education. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to prosper with Thy blessing the work of the Gilbertine Institute. Grant that all who serve Thee, may set Thy holy will ever before them, and do that which is well-pleasing in Thy sight, so all may be bettered, and they themselves may finally attain to Thy perfect service, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 5 THEGILBERTINE INSTITUTE Paul Blakeney Vice Chair of the Board of Directors gilbertineinstitute.com Our purpose for the Gilbertine Institute is to cultivate the tree of joy, flip these values and priorities right-side up and harvest good fruit. This means that we teach children and ourselves to pray and love God, to practice virtue and learn about the truth of creation as God made it. For the desires and petitions of our hearts are nothing less than the flourishing of every child in this life and the next. n Evening Prayer we read from St. John IChrysostom: “...Fulfill now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them…”(bcp p.35). Yet trusting God is difficult when we do not know what is expedient for us. The world is in a terrible state because people have cultivated the tree of sadness by learning and accepting bad ideas and flipping our values and priorities upside down. None can ignore the taste of these bitter fruits. INTENTIONS: • That the Gilbertine Institute may trust God and be a handmaid for the building up of the Kingdom as may be most expedient. Teach us, good Lord, to serve thee as thou deservest; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to look for rest; to labour and not to seek for any reward, save that of knowing that we do thy will. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 6 HEAD OF SCHOOL Deacon Kenneth Noster H Head of School & Principal H [email protected] 587-579-7810 learly, providing education is of extreme and discouraged, while too much support can draw Cimportance, and it is principally the work of parents into depending so much on professionals as parents.

They have intimidated by their sense of defeat, are easily drawn into delegating the education of their children to professionals. St. John Paul had something to say about that as well: The right and duty of parents to give education is essential...and it is irreplaceable and inalienable, and therefore incapable of being entirely delegated to others or usurped by others. The Church and society have a duty to provide support to parents in their role as educators, but what all too often happens is that parents are simply replaced. The express reason for the existence of The Gilbertine Institute is the support of parents in their irreplaceable and inalienable role. This is not merely rhetoric but practice, and every initiative of the Institute walks the fine line of avoiding two extremes: the extreme of providing insufficient support to parents and the extreme of providing too much.

As I write it is about 48 hours since Mrs May’s Brexit plan was voted down by an epic majority, and 24 hours since she survived a vote of no confidence in her government by a slim majority. There are innumerable voices presenting alternatives - and few people listening to anyone else. Where are we heading? And how can we as Christians best move forward in the confusion and chaos which surround us..? As I write, I am in Berlin. Today I have visited among other things a bombed out church, the site of the Berlin Wall, and a bookshop. Perhaps they offer some pointers for us. To start with the bookshop: I found a book by 45 children’s illustrators called Drawing Europe Together.. The illustrators are from across Europe and include Judith Kerr (The Tiger that Came to Tea) and Axel Scheffler (Gruffalo). Two of the illustrations in the book struck me particularly.

  • Translation, Canonization, and the Cult of the Saints in England, 1160-1220
    TRANSLATION, CANONIZATION, AND THE CULT OF THE SAINTS IN ENGLAND, 1160-1220 Elizabeth Hasseler A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History (Medieval History). Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Marcus G. Bull Brett E. Whalen Robert G. Babcock © 2014 Elizabeth Hasseler ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Elizabeth Hasseler: Translation, Canonization, and the Cult of the Saints in England, 1160- 1220 (Under the direction of Marcus G. Bull and Brett E. Whalen) The twelfth century marked a significant change in the way that saints were made. While previously sanctification had been a primarily local phenomenon, overseen by local bishops through the ritual practice of translation, throughout the twelfth century the development of formalized, juridical canonization processes allowed the papacy to oversee the process of making a new saint. This thesis addresses the nature of this shift, arguing that even as canonization proceedings became more common, the ritual of translation still retained significance as an act of local cult building. Focusing on the cults of Edward the Confessor and Thomas Becket, both of whom were canonized by the papacy and subsequently translated by their communities, this study will show that the translation ceremony remained significant through the twelfth century as a moment at which saints were commemorated, their lives narrated, and their remains enshrined within the sacral landscape of the community. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks go first of all to my family and friends who have supported me throughout my time in school.

  • Advice Literature for Holy Women in the Twelfth Century
    GENDERED LESSONS: ADVICE LITERATURE FOR HOLY WOMEN IN THE TWELFTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Laura Michele Diener, M.A ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Hanawalt, Advisor Approved by Professor Joseph Lynch Professor Lisa Kiser __________________________ Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In this dissertation I examine the impact of gender on the spirituality of religious women. I consider a number of texts dating from approximately 1080-1200 written specifically for women that I refer to as religious advice literature, or prescriptive literature. By advice literature, I refer to a variety of genres including letters, sermons, saints’ lives, and visionary texts. Religious men such as Peter Abelard, Osbert of Clare, Goscelin of St. Bertin, and Conrad of Hirsau designed these prescriptive texts to address what they perceived as the issues that directly affected the lives of women. These issues included the preservation of sexual purity and the practice of monastic meditation. I argue that they described traditional metaphors for monastic activity in gendered language. This technique served to make their texts relevant to the lives of religious women. I also consider the potential reactions of female readers. To this end, I consider the writings of female authors such as the Heloise, abbess of the Paraclete in France and Hildegard von Bingen, German abbess and renowned visionary. I also examine the writings of men that were influenced by religious women such as the Life of Christina of Markyate and the Second Life of Robert of Arbrissal.

  • Evidence for Remedial Medical Treatment of a Severe Knee Injury from the Fishergate Gilbertine Monastery in the City of York
    Journal of Archaeological Science (1995) 22, 369–384 Evidence for Remedial Medical Treatment of a Severe Knee Injury from the Fishergate Gilbertine Monastery in the City of York Christopher J. Knüsel Calvin Wells Laboratory, Department of Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, U.K. Richard L. Kemp York Archaeological Trust for Research and Excavation Ltd., 55 Piccadilly, York YO1 1PL, U.K. Paul Budd Ancient Metallurgy Research Group, Department of Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, U.K. (Received 8 September 1993, revised manuscript accepted 10 March 1994) During the analysis of a skeletal population from the Fishergate site in the City of York, an individual from the eastern part of the cemetery associated with the Gilbertine monastic foundation of St. Andrew revealed evidence of a chronic septic arthritis, secondary to a severe right knee twist-fracture, and bone adaptation in response to altered biomechanical loading. This disability had been the subject of remedial medical treatment with copper-alloy plates. Their presence, only the fourth such treatment thus far recorded from the mediaeval period, and the sole example applied to a lower limb, suggests that monastic houses, or those buried at these establishments, and specifically those associated with the Cistercians, had preferential access to medical specialists.
