OUR LADY of LOURDES & St SWITHUN's CHURCH OUR LADY OF LOURDES & St SWITHUN’s CHURCH in SOUTHSEA th V Sunday of Easter - 14 May 2017 Francisco Marto (11.6.1908 – 4.4.1919) and Jacinta Marto (11.3.1910 – 20.2.1920) were born in Aljustrel, a village in the parish of Fatima. In the company of their cousin Lucia, they saw an angel three times, and the Virgin Mary six times who urged them to pray and do penance for the remission of sins, and to obtain the conversion of sinners. From then on they had only one aspiration: to pray and suffer according to the Angel and Our Lady’s requests. In Fatima on 13th May 2000 Pope John Paul II inscribed their names among the Beatified. On 13th May 2017 Pope Francis canonized them - from the moment we all pray through their intercessions: God of infinite goodness You love the innocent and exalt the humble, grant that, in imitation of Saints Francisco and Jacinta, we may serve You with purity of heart and so be worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven. Amen. Our next special days of spiritual journey for all of us will come on the days from 26th May to 3rd June at 8.00 pm (30 min.) in St Swithun’s church we will have – NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT before THE PENTECOST SUNDAY. We will ask The Holy Spirit to heal our hearts, wounds, to unite all the divisions in our families and Parish, and to lead us through the next years of the evangelization within our parishes, schools, families…. Pentecost is the Solemnity, which is described as our Birthday as the Children of God, as One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Please, let us do as much effort as it is possible to open ourselves for the Holy Spirit - the Third Person of The Most Holy Trinity, given to us to help, to protect, to encourage, to sanctify us - as Jesus Christ promised.

Abstract This thesis examines a number of miracle collections and hagiographies written by Winchester monks in the late tenth century. It compares three different accounts of the cult of Swithun by Lantfred, Wulfstan and Ӕlfric, as well as comparing Wulfstan‟s and Ӕlfric‟s Vita Ӕthelwoldi. There were two main objectives to the thesis. The first was to examine whether an analysis of miracle narratives could tell us anything important about how a monastic community perceived itself, especially in relation to the wider world? This was tested by applying approaches used by Thomas Head and Raymond Van Dam to an Anglo- Saxon context.

  • Saint's Law: Anglo-Saxon Sanctuary Protection in the Translatio Et Miracula S. Swithuni1
    Saint’s Law: Anglo-Saxon Sanctuary Protection in the Translatio et Miracula S. Swithuni 1 John P. Sexton Patrick Wormald’s handlist of Anglo-Saxon lawsuits begins its gesta and miracula evi- dence with three consecutive suits from Lantfred of Winchester’s c. 972 Translatio et Miracula S. Swithuni.2 The suits, which appear in chapters 25-27, describe the trial by ordeal of a servant accused of “a certain misdeed” (quodam facinore, 25.3), the mutila- tion of a man accused of robbery, and an “arraignment of a man for appropriation of the king’s corn.”3 Although Wormald classifies the third item, like the first, as a “rescue from prison or penalty” case in contrast to the sanctuary cases he identifies in the Vita S. Edithae Virginis and De Miraculis S. Edmundi,4 the corn-appropriation or “wheat- thief” episode rightly belongs in both categories since it intentionally evokes the defin- ing characteristics of sanctuary protection in pre-Conquest legislation. Sanctuary mir- acles are, in fact, quite common in the Anglo-Saxon hagiographic record, informed by 1 I use the modern historian’s term “sanctuary” throughout to indicate the full spectrum of asylum- taking traditions. For a discussion of the various terms employed during the medieval period, see Shoe- maker,“Medieval Sanctuary Law,”22-29. I am grateful to Dr. Shoemaker for providing me with a copy of his dissertation. 2 Wormald,“A Handlist,”269. The three cases are numbered 154-156. The “wheat-thief” episode is retold in Wulfstan of Winchester’s c. 994 Narratio Metrica de Sancto Swithuno (2.10).

  • St Swithun Was Bishop of Winchester
    The Story of St Swithun A long time ago, in the 800’s and before the present Cathedral was built; St Swithun was Bishop of Winchester. There used to be a beautiful but small cathedral built by the Anglo- Saxons on this site, with blue glass in the windows, green tiles on the floor and carvings and paintings on the walls. This was Bishop Swithun’s Cathedral. Bishop Swithun was a kind man and walked all over Hampshire making sure his people were safe and had all they needed. One day he was walking over the bridge and talking to people as he went when he came across a woman stood to one side and she was crying. Bishop Swithun stopped and asked the woman why she was so upset. Between sobs the woman explained that she’d been carrying a big basket of eggs to market to sell, but there were so many people on the bridge, someone had accidently knocked against her and she’d dropped the basket, breaking all the eggs. Kind Bishop Swithun had a think and then took the woman’s hand in his and told her not to worry. Suddenly, the eggs were whole again! It was a miracle! Bishop Swithun knew he was getting old and that he wouldn’t live for ever. It would soon be time for him to go to heaven. He told those in charge of the old Cathedral that he didn’t want to be buried inside the Cathedral like the previous bishops and kings. He wanted a simple grave, outside the main doors of the Cathedral so that people could walk over his grave as they went in and out of the beautiful church and remember that they should love one another, just as Bishop Swithun had tried to do all his life.

  • The Role of Early Medieval Saints in English Church Dedications Beyond the Conquest and the Reformation
    Chapter 27 Leavings or Legacies? The Role of Early Medieval Saints in English Church Dedications beyond the Conquest and the Reformation Michael Hicks Every English church is dedicated to some aspect of the godhead or to a patron saint, often commemorated in the place names, such as St Albans in Hertford- shire, Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, and St Osyth in Essex. Many of the earliest missionaries and those princesses who founded nunneries have been reviewed by Barbara Yorke in work which has done much to reveal the early medieval legacy of the landscape of Britain.1 The dedications of parish churches are among the most obvious elements of that legacy but they also reveal much of the perceptions of that legacy in the later Middle Ages. Although this paper focuses on Anglo-Saxon dedications before the Nor- man Conquest, the discussion also includes native British saints or Celtic dat- ing before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, some of later date, Anglo-Saxon saints who operated within England and abroad (e.g. St Boniface), universal and Roman saints venerated within England, and some others, notably the 11th- and 12th-century Vikings King Olaf Haraldsson and Earl Magnus. This pa- per considers these early contributions to the pool of dedications current in today’s churches and how and why the dedications have multiplied and then were curtailed in the millennium since the Norman Conquest. Thus St Petroc was the most popular native/British or Celtic saint in the West Country, to judge from his fourteen dedications in Cornwall and Devon; there

Text may contain errors. (Report errors to [email protected]) CHAPTER I GENERAL REMARKS ON SHRINES (Part Two) The name of “Peter the Roman citizen” may still be read on the shrine he made for St. Edward the Confessor, but of all the artificers of such works the greater number of names perpetuated are of skilful Irishmen. Three smiths, “expert at shaping,” MacCrecht, Laebhan, and Fortchern, are mentioned as belonging to St. Patrick’s family, or monastic brethren ; and three skilful artificers, Aesbuite, Tairill, and Tassach. St. Bridget’s principal artist in gold, silver, and other metals was Bishop Conla. To properly understand a bishop being so employed, his peculiar position in a Celtic monastery must be considered. St. Dageus, who lived in the sixth century, was a prolific maker of shrines ;1 and of the hereditary mechanics of the monastery at Kells, Sitric MacAeda stands pre-eminent in the eleventh century. The reputation of the saint influenced the position of the shrine, and in some cases controlled the plan of the church in which the shrine was erected. Various saints were held in different degrees of veneration by the faithful according to their local popularity, their lives , deaths, or the number of miracles attributed to them. The space behind the high altar, the beam above the altar, or a separate chapel, was appropriated to the site for the shrine by the devotion accorded to the saint.
