  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • GOSPEL MAGIC Jonathan Allen Opens up God’S Box of Tricks
    TRIVIA: GOSPEL MAGIC Jonathan Allen opens up God’s box of tricks In Modern Enchantments (2002), cultural historian Simon During describes the magic of conjuring and stage illusion using the term ‘secular magic’. Such magic is to be distinguished from the ‘real’ or ‘potent’ magic of the shaman (and later the institutionalised priest), and the ‘natural’ magic of the alchemist (and later the scientist). Gospel magic, tricks performed by committed Christians, represents therefore something of an amalgam since it operates within the spheres of secular magic and real magic simultaneously. According to American evangelist Duane Laflin in Greater Gospel Magic (2000), the first documented gospel magician was Rev Charles H Woolston, a Pennsylvanian pastor who used magic tricks, or ‘object lessons’, to illustrate biblical themes to late nineteenth- century revivalist congregations. The use of magic effects in the didactic service of Judeo-Christian belief was in fact common to European mediaeval mystery plays; the decollation of John the Baptist, and the miraculous ascension of Christ were both achieved using principles well documented within magic history (see Reginald Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft [1584], and John McKinven’s Stage Flying: 431BC to Modern Times [1995]). Cloistered monk Thomas Betson (d.1516) was busy at Syon Abbey with invisible inks, levitating eggs and mysteriously ambulating apples (created, respectively, with urine, a human hair and an inserted beetle), and lets not forget the infamous Rood of Boxley, a kind of Jesus-as-Action

In 1978, Father Peter Quang saw his father for the last time in Vietnam. Now, 14 years later and with the help of St. Vincent de Paul Parish where Father Quang serves, the priest looks forward to his dad and mother and two sisters arriving by Christmas. When he was only 16-years-old and living in Viet­ nam, his father offered him some advice. “He told me to treat people with compassion and patience,” said Father Quang. “He said that he would be off to war a lot and that 1 was to watch over my family.” Parishioners managed to gather nearly $16,000 needed to sponsor Father Quang’s family, and students of St. Vincent de Paul Elementary School raised $140. “The yoimgest to the oldest helped,” Father Quang said. “I feel very appreciated. I love them very much.” Father Quang entered the minor seminary at age 11. That, in addition to his father being called away to war, gave the two little time to spend together. But the moments they did share. Father Quang remembers well. “Most important, I remember his gentleness," he said. “He never raised his voice. “When I was young, I had a problem with disci­ pline,” Father Quang added.

Make sure that you know that I don’t know what order the cards are in.” After a half-dozen shuffles, the volunteer appears satisfied. The magician hands her a sealed envelope with the word “PREDICTION” printed on it. Inside is a piece of paper. It reads, “On Wednesday, July 18, you will shuffle the Four of Clubs to the top of the deck.” When the volunteer turns over the top card, it is in fact the Four of Clubs.
