Humility and simplicity are God’s way of life.” This is the same way of life that Christians are called to assume in our lives and in our missions.“The true greatness is to make yourself small, and serve ”, said Pope Francis. This was the message given a year ago to 220 Capuchins who met pope during the Capuchin general chapter in 2018, September in Rome. “It takes strength to be weak and greatness to be humble” was my famous message to the capuchin brothers during the year 2018 – 2019. Capuchin brothers are led by the spirit of humility and simplicity in serving the simple and poor in different provinces in Canada. We thank God for the beautiful summer that is just gone by without major mishaps. Though some of us dread cold, the fall colors cheer us with spectacular scenes in mother nature. We take this opportunity to thank you for the generosity and kindness you have shown towards our Capuchin brothers especially to our brothers in formation. Br. Michael Mascarenhas is back studying at St Peters after experiencing a wonderful time in the parish at Wallaceburg ON. Br. Michael also had the opportunity to visit El Salvador with the parish team to build houses for the poor. Br. Sunil D’Costa was a blessing at Poverello Charities during summer. Residents of Poverello Charities (a residence for people with mental health issues) loved the gentle, loving presence of Br. Sunil. He also spent time learning Spanish and now he is back studying at St. Peters. Br. Peter Poel and Martin Ngo made their first vows to religious life at St. Philip Neri church on July 21, 2019. Br. Martin Ngo has begun his studies, also at St Peters.. Br. Peter Poel was previously ordained before joining the Capuchins, now he is ministering at Poverello Charities, a ministry that is close to his heart. We pray and hope that the good Lord will send us more brothers this year. We are hoping to revitalize our vocation promotion. Thank you for your contributions. Your financial help makes it possible for us to continue the formation and education of our brothers. We continually look forward to your spiritual and financial support through which you are part of our great Capuchin mission in Canada. We promise our prayers to you and your family and are always grateful to you. We thank God for you around the Eucharistic and dining table because with your help we are able to nourish both our soul and body. Let me again bless you with the blessing of St. Francis of Assisi “The Lord bless you and Keep you. May He show His face to you and have mercy. May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace. The Lord bless you”. -2- Celebrating the 400th Anniversary of the death of St Lawrence of Brindisi. ofm, cap. Feastday 1559 -1619 July 21 “Nos cum prole pia benedicat Virgo Maria.” “Mary, with Her loving Son, bless us each and every one.” Giulio Cesare Russo was born in Brindisi , Kingdom of Naples , to a family of Venetian merchants. After the early death of his parents, he was raised by his uncle and educated at Saint Mark's College in Venice. Cesare joined the Capuchins in Verona as Brother Lawrence. He received further instruction from the University of Padua . An accomplished linguist, in addition to his native Italian, Lawrence could read and speak Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Bohemian, Spanish, and French fluently. Brother Lawrence was ordained a priest at the age of 23. At the age of thirty-one, Father Lawrence was elected superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany. [1] He was appointed definitor general to Rome for the Capuchins in 1596; Pope Clement VIII assigned him the task of preaching to the Jews in the city. He was sufficiently proficient in Hebrew that the rabbis assumed he had been a convert from Judaism. Beginning in 1599, Lawrence established Capuchin monasteries in modern Germany and Austria, furthering the Counter-Reformation and bringing many Protestants back to the Catholic faith. In 1601, he served as the imperial chaplain for the army of Rudolph II, Holy Roman Emperor , and successfully recruited Philippe Emmanuel, Duke of Mercœur , to help fight against the Ottoman Turks . He then led the army during the brief liberation of Székesfehérvár in Hungary from the Ottoman Empire , armed only with a crucifix . In 1602, he was elected vicar general of the Capuchin friars , at that time the highest office in the Order. He was elected again in 1605, but refused the office. He entered the service of the Holy See , becoming papal nuncio to Bavaria . After serving as nuncio to Spain, he retired to a monastery in 1618. He was recalled as a special envoy to the King of Spain regarding the actions of the Viceroy of Naples in 1619, and after finishing his mission, died on his birthday in Lisbon. H e was entombed at the Poor Clares' Convento de la Anunciada (Convent of the Annunciation) in Villafranca del Bierzo , Spain.

Sometimes this loss is an unexpected shock to us, while at other times it is a slow and exhausting separation. However it takes place, it is an experience unique to each of us who are left to mourn and we all feel an emptiness. Our faith tells us that they are in some way now with God. However in our emptiness we want them with us at our side. We have so much to yet share with them, more questions to ask of them… but we no longer can. However, there is a way we can be with them spiritually , a loving and intimate way and that is in the Eucharist. We pray that God will reveal himself to them and that He will bring them to that sublime fulfillment as they remain in God’s presence. We also believe they too will pray our behalf to God asking Him to help us in our day to day struggles and to be for us a steadfast guide on our life journey. This is truly the Communion of Saints! Especially during the entire month of November, we invite you to remember your loved ones through our online Capuchin (Private) Mass Intention Program , so we can join you in offering up prayers to God for them. Or perhaps light an online Virtual Candle in their memory. We wish to express our deep gratitude to you for allowing us this privilege of joining with you in this sacred act of remembrance. Fraternally, Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of the faithful Bro. Alan Gaebel, ofm, cap. departed, through the mercy of God, Development Office rest in peace.

Agency. -7- THE CAPUCHIN LEGACY PROGRAM As Christians one of the most important tasks we have is that of faithful stewardship. This is beautifully expressed in St. Francis’ “Canticle of the Creatures” which gives thanks for our interdependent relationship with all of God’s creation, in which we all share. This same spirit also finds contemporary resonance in a quote by Blessed Fr.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe.

  • The Italian Wars
    198 Chapter 7 CHAPTER 7 Allegiance and Rebellion II: The Italian Wars The Italian Wars, with the irruption of the kings of France and Spain and the emperor into the state system of the peninsula, complicated questions of al- legiance for the military nobility throughout Italy. Many were faced with un- avoidable choices, on which could hang grave consequences for themselves and their families. These choices weighed most heavily on the barons of the kingdom of Naples and the castellans of Lombardy, the main areas of conten- tion among the ultramontane powers. The bulk of the military nobility in these regions harboured no great affection or loyalty towards the Sforza dukes of Mi- lan, Aragonese kings of Naples or Venetian patricians whose rule was chal- lenged. Accepting an ultramontane prince as their lord instead need not have occasioned them much moral anguish, provided they were left in possession of their lands. They might, indeed, hope that a non-resident prince would allow them a greater degree of autonomy. But there could be no guarantee that those who pledged their loyalty to an ultramontane prince would receive the bene- fits and the recognition they might have hoped for. Although the ideas, expec- tations and way of life of the Italian rural nobility had much in common with their German, French and Spanish counterparts who came to Italy as soldiers and officials, the ultramontanes generally assumed the air of conquerors, of superiority to Italians of whatever social rank. Members of different nations were often more conscious of their differences in language and customs than of any similarities in their values, and relations between the nobilities of the various nations were frequently imbued with mutual disparagement, rather than mutual respect.

  • Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012)
    Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012) Brief Historical, Political, Social, and Religious Background Prepared by Br. Terrence Lauerman, O. Praem., D. A. A. Premonstratensian Beginnings (Castilla-Burgos): According to Eduardo Corredera, the famous Marist historian who researched Premonstratensian history in Spain, the lore about the foundation of the Premonstratensians in Castilla needs to be revisited with more research. The somewhat questionable version by the early Premonstratensian historians (Bernardo de Leon, José Noriega, and Jaime Caresmar) is that two young men, Sancho Ansúrez from Valladolid and Domingo, the son of the Count of Candespina, went off to study in Paris where they heard about the life and activities of Saint Norbert. At some time before 1126 they presented themselves at Premontre to be admitted to the Order. After being sufficiently trained and mature in the religious life and spirituality of the Order, they were sent back to their native land in the north of Spain which was being taken back from the Moors during the Reconquest. The first two foundations in Castilla were Ribolo-Torta (Retuerta), founded in 1145 by Sancho, and Monte Sacro, founded in 1144 by Domingo. Monte Sacro was later moved by Domingo and renamed as la Vid in 1162. Most of the Premonstratensian abbeys were in the center- Northwest regions with none being in the southern regions of the peninsula which were liberated in the later Reconquest period. Abbeys founded between 1160 and 1170 were double foundations for both men and women.* B. Premonstratensian Beginnings (Aragón-Cataluńa): Marist Brother Eduardo Corredera relates that at the Council of Reims in 1148, Eugenio III asked some Christian princes to aid in the efforts of Ramón Berenguer IV of Barcelona to reconquer some cities in the Catalonian region from Moorish domination.

  • Tommaso Astarita Naples Was One of the Largest Cities in Early Modern
    INTRODUCTION: “NAPLES IS THE WHOLE world” Tommaso Astarita Naples was one of the largest cities in early modern Europe and, for about two centuries, the largest city in the global empire ruled by the kings of Spain. Its crowded and noisy streets, the height of its buildings, the num- ber and wealth of its churches and palaces, the celebrated natural beauty of its location, the many antiquities scattered in its environs, the fiery volcano looming over it, the drama of its people’s devotions, and the size and liveliness—to put it mildly—of its plebs all made Naples renowned and at times notorious across Europe. The new essays in this volume aim to introduce this important, fasci- nating, and bewildering city to readers unfamiliar with its history. In this introduction, I will briefly situate the city in the general history of Italy and Europe and offer a few remarks on the themes, topics, and approaches of the essays that follow. The city of Naples was founded by Greek settlers in the 6th century BC (although earlier settlements in the area date to the 9th century). Greeks, Etruscans, and, eventually, Romans vied for control over the city during its first few centuries. After Rome absorbed the southern areas of the Ital- ian Peninsula, Naples followed the history of the Roman state; however, through much of that era, it maintained a strong Greek identity and cul- ture. (Nero famously chose to make his first appearance on the stage in Naples, finding the city’s Greek culture more tolerant than stern Rome of such behavior.) Perhaps due to its continued eastern orientation, Naples developed an early Christian community.

  • Set up of the Province
    Monday, September 30, 2019 Pro. No. 18.19 CIRCULAR LETTER To The Friars and Students of the Province And their respective addresses My dear brothers, Greetings of Peace and All Good! “SELF-EMPTYING (KENOSIS)” Though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be exploited. But emptied himself taking the form of a slave…” ( Phil 2, 6-7). Kenosis has profound significance in Christian theology. It refers to the very disposition of the triune God who is the communion of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Kenosis, or self- emptying, is revealed in the Trinity. The Cappadocian Fathers of the fourth century saw that God the Father, who is Love, completely empties God’s self into the Son; the Son empties into the Spirit; and the Spirit empties into the Father. Incarnation flows from this kenosis that is inherent to God’s nature. Jesus taught us to follow him down the path of humility, servant hood, and surrender. As Paul writes, “His state was divine, yet he did not cling to his equality with God, but emptied himself, being born in human likeness” (Phil 2:6). Jesus’ entire life demonstrates how God loves unconditionally and selflessly. Although Paul’s message on kenosis was addressed to all Philippian Christians, it targeted particularly those with power and status within the community. Paul is directly telling them to exemplify servant hood by ‘giving space’ to others as Jesus did rather than holding on to power and privilege. Paul’s message obviously coheres with Jesus’ own teaching at the Last Supper: “You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am.
