  • Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages
    Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages The Monks and Monasteries of the early Middle Ages played a critical roal in the preservation and promotion of Christian culture. The accomplishments of the monks, especially during the 'Dark Ages', are too numerous to list. They were the both missionaries and custodians of Catholic culture for generations, and the monastic reforms of the tenth century paved the way for the reforms of the secular clergy that followed. By the beginning of the 13th century, however, there was seen a need for a new type of religious community, and thus were born the Mendicant Orders. The word 'Mendicant' means beggar, and this was due to the fact that the Mendicant Friars, in contrast to the Benedictine Monks, lived primarily in towns, rather than on propertied estates. Since they did not own property, they were not beholden to secular rulers and were free to serve the poor, preach the gospel, and uphold Christian ideals without compromise. The Investiture Controversy of the previous century, and the underlying problems of having prelates appointed by and loyal to local princes, was one of the reasons for the formation of mendicant orders. Even though monks took a vow of personal poverty, they were frequently members of wealthy monasteries, which were alway prone to corruption and politics. The mendicant commitment to poverty, therefore, prohibited the holding of income producing property by the orders, as well as individuals. The poverty of the mendicant orders gave them great freedom, in the selection of their leaders, in the their mobility, and in their active pursuits.

  • Thy Kingdom Come! Central Commission for the Review of The
    Thy Kingdom Come! Central Commission for the Review of the Statutes of Regnum Christi Theme for Study and Reflection Number 5 Charism and History of Regnum Christi Goal To prepare ourselves for the revision of the statutes of the Regnum Christi Movement for the first and second degrees, we need to take into account the charism of Regnum Christi, since the statutes should serve precisely to guard and promote that charism. We are seeking to understand what is the charism of a movement and how it is lived, so that then we can go on to remember the fundamental characteristics of our own, remembering the spiritual experience we share and its history, as well as the approval and other indications of the authority of the Church. Outline A. The charism of a spiritual family: Charisms are special graces that the Holy Spirit grants to faithful Christians for the good of the Church and of its mission in the world. By spiritual family, we mean a group of faithful Christians that, sharing a charism, are united by spiritual affinity and friendship in Christ. The charism of a spiritual family is collective and dynamic and generates a spiritual heritage. We pay special attention to the case of the founder of Regnum Christi. B. What spiritual experience helps us to form Regnum Christi? The discovery of the personal love of Christ, who calls us to share his mission, generates in us the desire to respond to him by doing our best to be authentic Christians and to make an active effort to introduce people to him so they will be transformed into his disciples.

  • Servite Order 1 Servite Order
    Servite Order 1 Servite Order Order of the Servants of Mary Abbreviation OSM Formation 1233 Type Mendicant order Marian devotional society Headquarters Santissima Annunziata Basilica, Florence, Italy Website [1] The Servite Order is one of the five original Catholic mendicant orders. Its objects are the sanctification of its members, preaching the Gospel, and the propagation of devotion to the Mother of God, with special reference to her sorrows. The members of the Order use O.S.M. (for Ordo Servorum Beatae Mariae Virginis) as their post-nominal letters. The male members are known as Servite Friars or Servants of Mary. The Order of Servants of Mary (The Servites) is a religious family that embraces a membership of friars (priests and brothers), contemplative nuns, a congregation of active sisters and lay groups. History Foundation The Servites lead a community life in the tradition of the mendicant orders (such as the Dominicans and Franciscans). The Servite Order was founded in 1233 AD, when a group of cloth merchants of Florence, Italy, left their city, families and professions to retire outside the city on a mountain known as Monte Senario for a life of poverty and penance. These men are known as the Seven Holy Founders; they were canonized by Pope Leo XIII in 1888.[2] These seven were: Buonfiglio dei Monaldi (Bonfilius), Giovanni di Buonagiunta (Bonajuncta), Amadeus of the Amidei (Bartolomeus), Ricovero dei Lippi-Ugguccioni (Hugh), Benedetto dell' Antella (Manettus), Gherardino di Sostegno (Sostene), and Alessio de' Falconieri (Alexius). They belonged to seven patrician families of that city. As a reflection of the penitential spirit of the times, it had been the custom of these men to meet regularly as members of a religious society established in honor of Mary, the Amadeus of the Amidei (d.

They had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Servite Order is one of the five original Catholic mendicant orders.

Mary told them: "You will found a new order, and you will be my witnesses throughout the world. This is your name: Servants of Mary. This is your rule: that of Saint Augustine.

    RULE of LIFE and LITURGIES of the SECULAR ORDER of the SERVANTS OF MARY San Marcello, Rome 1995 Ave + Maria Prot. 415/95 Rome, 4th May 1995 Feast of St. Peregrine M. Laziosi, OSM 650th Anniversary of his death TO THE SISTERS AND BROTHERS OF THE SECULAR ORDER OF THE SERVANTS OF MARY! The Holy Spirit, who called our First Fathers in 1233, has also called you to witness the Gospel in fraternal communion, so that you might be at the service of God and mankind, drawing inspiration from Mary, the Mother and Servant of the Lord. The Risen Lord invites you to walk in the way of holiness, which for 762 years has been the task of all the members of our Order, and to prolong in your families and in your christian communities the active presence of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. The Holy See, in granting its approval of your «Rule of Life» on the 29th April 1995, has shown its appreciation of the path taken by you and your fraternities, in following the directions of the Second Vatican Council and of the experimental Rule of Life approved by the General Council on the 2nd October 1982. You, a vital part of the Servite Family, by living your baptismal consecration in the light of this «Rule of Life», walk on the road to holiness, building up the communion of the Church, announcing the Gospel in those places and in those situations in which only you, because of your position as laity, can bear witness to Christ, Son of Mary and first-born among many.

Serving the Church in Central and Southern Indiana Since 1960 CriterionOnline.com February 14, 2014 Vol. LIV, No. 18 75¢ A turbulent year that strengthened Natalie Hoefer Photo by ‘I just the papacy want to VATICAN CITY (CNS)—When Pope Benedict XVI announced, on Feb. 11, 2013, that he would become the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign, speculation was as right a varied as it was excited about the long-term consequences of his historic act. But one common line of thought held that, for better or worse, his decision might leave the papacy wrong’ a less exalted and powerful office, bringing the supreme pontiff closer to the level of other bishops, clergy and faithful. Might the presence of two living popes inside the Vatican sow confusion over where governing authority actually lay, or, at least, dilute the prestige of the unique role of Vicar of Christ? Might the precedent of resignation make it easier to drive a future pope from office, thus introducing a new kind of political pressure into the leadership of the Church?
