The Jersey Catholic Parish Newsletter Sunday 13 June 2021 - 11Th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Yr B) The Jersey Catholic Parish Newsletter th Sunday 13 June 2021 - 11 Sunday of Ordinary Time (Yr B) Fr Johnpromise writes … When the novelist Dan Brown released his second novel “The Da Vinci Code”, in April 2003, the world ran amok. People scrambled to get a copy of the novel which promised to have uncovered a stupendous secret which Christianity had kept hidden for years – The Holy Grail. When the dust settled, it became apparent the novel was fictitious and that the greatest kept secret of Christianity does not lie inside a chalice located at the Cathedral of Valencia, but in the person of Jesus Christ Himself. He is the best kept secret of Christianity because He established an eternal kingdom which endures forever – “a kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and peace, a kingdom of justice, love, and peace.” It is this kingdom which is the best kept secret of Christianity that we hear of in this Sunday’s readings. While earthly kingdoms will come and go, the kingdom of God which is already here with us but not yet fully realised, will endure forever because Jesus is the kingdom in person as Joseph Ratzinger stated in his book Eschatology of 1988. This kingdom of God which is the best secret of Christianity is even more intriguing because it continues to spread noiselessly like the seed sown in the ground which grows gradually and steadily and like the mustard seed that gives shade to all under it. As Christians, we might sometimes be tempted to zealously enthrone and cement the kingdom of God on earth; however, it is pivotal that we remember the kingdom of God will never be extinguished from the globe; its ambers will always withstand the worst of storms. That is the way of Jesus as Stephen Cottrell, the Archbishop of York tells us in his recent book “Dear England.” Coming to Mass As reported in local media, Jersey has delayed lifting many of the remaining coronavirus restrictions by at least a week. However, the legal requirement to wear a mask in indoor public places is removed as from 14 June although the use of masks remains “strongly recommended” anywhere that one metre physical distancing is difficult to achieve. Contact tracing is still needed. Teas and Coffees As events or gatherings of this kind still require social distancing, contact tracing and the wearing of masks except when sat at a table to eat or drink, it would be unwise to allow teas and coffees after Mass, for the time being. Let’s pray for better days to arrive soon!

    March 9, 2021 Brenda Mallory Chair White House Council on Environmental Quality 730 Jackson Pl NW Washington, DC 20506 Via email Re: Utility disconnection moratorium for Tennessee Valley Authority Dear Ms. Mallory, Please find attached petitions signed by over 21,500 people from Tennessee and beyond urging the Tennessee Valley Authority to institute a utility shutoff moratorium throughout its service area. As the letters attached state, “Without electricity, people won’t be able to shelter in homes that are a safe temperature, support remote schooling for their kids, or refrigerate their medicines. It is a decision that literally has life-or-death consequences.” For several months throughout the pandemic, advocates have urged TVA to institute such a moratorium, but to no avail. We now call upon President Biden to act, by issuing an Executive Order directing TVA to keep people’s power on-- the only responsible option during a pandemic. Please also find attached a memo outlining the President’s authority to issue an Executive Order to this effect. Sincerely, Tom Cormons Executive Director Appalachian Voices Erich Pica President Friends of the Earth Cc: Gina McCarthy, White House National Security Advisor Representative Peter DeFazio, Chair, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Senator Tom Carper, Chair, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Representative Frank Pallone, Chair, House Committee on Energy and Commerce Tennessee Congressional delegation Attachments: Executive Actions for Immediate COVID relief and economic recovery via the Tennessee Valley Authority, Appalachian Voices Appalachian Voices petition Appalachia Voices petition signatories Friends of the Earth petition Friends of the Earth petition signatories EXECUTIVE ACTIONS FOR IMMEDIATE COVID RELIEF AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY VIA THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY The Tennessee Valley Authority was established in the 1930s by a federal mandate to bring flood relief, economic stimulus and improved quality of life to the people of the Tennessee Valley.

  • Eminent Victorians
    CARDINAL MANNING EMINENT VICTORIANS CARDINAL MANNING -FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE DR. ARNOLD -GENERAL GORDON BY LYTTON STRACHEY WITH PORTRAITS G. P. PUTNAM’s SONS NEW YORK AND LONDON The Knickerbocker Press 1918 To H. T. J. N. PREFACE THE history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it. For ignorance is the first requisite of the historian— ignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, which selects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by the highest art. Concerning the Age which has just passed, our fathers and our grandfathers have poured forth and accumulated so vast a quantity of information that the industry of a Ranke would be submerged by it, and the perspi- cacity of a Gibbon would quail before it. It is not by the direct me- thod of a scrupulous narration that the explorer of the past can hope to depict that singular epoch. If he is wise, he will adopt a subtler strategy. He will attack his subject in unexpected places; he will fall upon the flank, or the rear; he will shoot a sudden, revealing search- light into obscure recesses, hitherto undivined. He will row out over that great ocean of material, and lower down into it, here and there, a little bucket, which will bring up to the light of day some characte- ristic specimen, from those far depths, to be examined with a careful curiosity. Guided by these considerations, I have written the ensuing studies. I have attempted, through the medium of biography, to present some Victorian visions to the modern eye.

  • Alfred the Wise
    ALFRED THE WISE Studies in honour of Janet Bately on the occasion of her sixty-fifth birthday EDITED BY Jane Roberts and Janet L. Nelson with Maleolm Godden D. S. BREWER '... sicut olim gens Franeorum ... nunc gens Anglorum': Fulk's Letter to Alfred Revisited JANET L NELSON For many historians of Anglo-Saxon England, the letter of Archbishop Fulk of Rheims to Alfred has seemed a significant piece of evidence for the king's contacts and aspirations} From time to time, however, the letter's authenticity has been impugned; and even those who do not doubt the letter's genuineness have found something faintly offensive in its 'arrogant and patronising tone'.2 While the letter's 'tone' may help explain its relative neglect by English historians, its most suspicious feature also explains its near-total neglect by Continental scholars: rather than having been transmitted, like nearly all the rest of Archbishop Fulk's extant correspondence, uniquely in the form of excerpts and 'analyses' in Flo- doard's Historia Remensis Ecclesiaes this letter survives as a whole, in English manuscripts and only in those: an addition copied into an eleventh-century Winchester gospel-book, and, copied from that, in the probably fifteenth-century Liber Monasterii de Hyda.4 The letter purports to have accompanied the Frankish To take but two examples: D.

  • 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.

If any wan comes along with a histhry iv Greece or Rome that’ll show me th’ people fightin’, gettin’ dhrunk, makin’ love, gettin’ married, owin’ th’ grocery man an’ bein’ without hard coal, I’ll believe they was a Greece or Rome, but not befur.” — Dunne, Finley Peter, OBSERVATIONS BY MR. DOOLEY, New York, 1902 ENGLAND F R A N C E 1. Actually, Victor Hugo made this remark about the Channel Islands in general. HDT WHAT? INDEX JERSEY JERSEY 100,000 BCE The most recent ice age was beginning at about this point. Greenland ice cores suggest that this glacial may have been punctuated by abrupt warm periods, leading to release of “ice armadas” into the Atlantic Ocean; these “Heinrich events” have been variously attributed to precessional components of orbital variation. Early humans were using a cave at La Cotte near the coastal area now called Ouaisné. They hunted mammoths and woolly rhinoceros, herding them over the cliff onto the rocks below, butchering them and leaving their bones to be discovered in the late 1800s. Lower sea levels meant easy access from the mainland to what is now the island of Jersey.2 The earliest known ornament, a decorative amulet, was made from a piece of mammoth’s tooth by a Neanderthal (it has been found in what is now Hungary).
