For many years the Holy Cross authorities had tried to buy land on Mount Royal.

Great-aunt of Saint Elizabeth of Portugal. She married Prince Louis of Thuringa at age 13. Built a hospital at the foot of the mountain on which her castle stood; tended to the sick herself. Her family and courtiers opposed this, but she insisted she could only follow Christ’s teachings, not theirs. Once when she was taking food to the poor and sick, Prince Louis stopped her and looked under her mantle to see what she was carrying; the food had been miraculously changed to roses. Upon the death of Louis, Elizabeth sold all that she had, and worked to support her four children.

She ordered that one of her castle should be converted into a hospital in which she gathered many of the weak and feeble. She generously gave alms to all who were in need, not only in that place but in all the territories of her husband’s empire. She spent all her own revenue from her husband’s four principalities, and finally she sold her luxurious possessions and rich clothes for the sake of the poor. Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, Elizabeth went to visit the sick. She personally cared for those who were particularly repulsive; to some she gave good, to others clothing; some she carried on her own shoulders, and performed many other kindly services. Her husband, of happy memory, gladly approved of these charitable works. Finally, when her husband died, she sought the highest perfection; filled with tears, she implored me to let her beg for alms from door to door. On Good Friday of that year, when the altars had been stripped, she laid her hands on the altar in a chapel in her own town, where she had established the Friars Minor, and before witnesses she voluntarily renounced all worldly display and everything that our Savior in the gospel advises us to abandon.

  • From Our Pastor, Msgr. Steven Camp
    CChurchhurch ofof St.St. PatrickPatrick 400 Main Street Huntington, New York 11743 (631)-385-3311 www.stpatrickchurchhunt.org FROM OUR PASTOR, MSGR. STEVEN CAMP Dear Parishioners, Today is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, traditionally known as Laetare Sunday. Laetare (“Rejoice”), sets a tone of joyful anticipation of the Easter mystery, which is only weeks away. This is why the Priest wears rose-colored vestments. The name comes from Entrance Antiphon for this Mass: “ Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all you who love her”. This Fourth Sunday of Lent marks a joyful relief amidst the seriousness and somberness of the many weeks of preparation for Easter. Even in Lent we rejoice, because we know God loves us and will provide for our needs. In the first reading today, from the Book of Chronicles, God pardons those who have been unfaithful. In today’s Gospel as well in the second reading, we are reminded that the Father has sent the Son because He has so loved us that He wants us to be able to return to Him. We rejoice in the forgiveness that the Lord offers for each of us. With this Sunday being the fourth Sunday of Lent, we come close to Holy Week. Holy Week is one of the most important weeks of the year for the Church. As we continue to prepare to celebrate the Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem, Passion & Death, and His Glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday, please make note of the schedule of all of the Holy Week liturgies that will take place here in our Parish.

In it, I asked the people of our Archdiocese to enter into a deeper relationship with Christ, to be not merely His disciples but His missionary disciples, extending the light of the Gospel to others among us so that they, too, could fully welcome His Word into their hearts. The Catholic Community Foundation is uniquely positioned to aid this evangelization effort for years to come. “Through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.” Established in 1998 by my predecessor, Cardinal William H. Keeler, the Catholic Community Foundation has grown to over 470 separate funds, each with its own unique purpose and benefit. Not only are our parishes well-represented and supported by the Foundation, so too are our Catholic schools, clergy, religious and a host of ministries that are critically integral to carrying out the Church’s evangelizing work.

  • Green Pilgrim City Theological Message Pilgrimage in the Coptic
    Green Pilgrim City Theological Message Pilgrimage in the Coptic Church Since its establishment in the first century, the Coptic Orthodox Church has existed in Egypt and has as one of its principal pillars a movement and way of life that commenced in her deserts and wildernesses and, from there, spread to the whole world. This phenomenon is, of course, the monastic movement that started in the deserts of Egypt in the third Century and still thrives across the country until today. Being central to the lives of many Christians in Egypt and abroad, the monasteries are frequented by pilgrims throughout the year, who reach their thousands on special feast days in the Coptic Calendar. The monasteries have always been essential for spiritual retreat, and in the current climate, have become visitors’ havens of reflection, contemplation and refuge in the midst of a bustling society embattled by historic political reform and the accompanying security and economic pressures Today, thousands of Coptic Christians from across Egypt and around the world make the journey to the monasteries to escape the constant noise of modern life and to share in the gentle silence of the wilderness that our desert fathers and mothers have lived for centuries, experiencing the words of our Creator Himself Who says “be still and know that I am God” (Psalms46:10). These pilgrims are also accompanied by many thousands of non-Coptic visitors throughout the year. The deserts, void of the heavy distractions of civilisation and unblemished by large secular settlements, have been the rich soil from which great wisdom has sprung forth.

  • The Private and Public Religion of David II of Scotland, 1329-71
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Christian Days and Knights: The Religious Devotions and Court of 1 David II of Scotland, 1329-71. Michael Penman Abstract This article surveys the development of the religious devotions and court life of David II of Scotland (1329- 71). Using contemporary government and chronicle sources it discusses David’s favour to a wide range of chivalric and pious causes, many with special personal resonance for the second Bruce king. This patronage attracted widespread support for his kingship after 1357. However, such interests also had political motivation for David, namely his agenda of securing a peace deal with Edward III of England and overawing his Scottish magnate opponents. His political circumstances meant that his legacy of chivalric and religious patronage were obscured after his early death. Accepted for publication in Historical Research by Wiley-Blackwell. Edward III (1327-77) was celebrated by late medieval writers as a king in the biblical style: as an exemplar of Christian virtue, a warrior and generous patron of the church, founder of several royal chapels and of the knights’ Order of St George. Similarly, Philip VI of France (1328-50) received praise for the time and energy he dedicated to attempting to organise a Pan-European crusade to recover the Holy Land, attracting hundreds of European knights, Counts, Princes and lesser kings to his realm in the 1330s. Meanwhile, Robert I of Scotland (1306-29)
