The Church and Health Care An Appeal to the Silent Priests and Bishops The political debate taking place in the United States regarding against the Church and Christian Civilization, a theme that some health care, as Juan Donoso Cortés wrote regarding all political might think is a problem of the past, two and a half decades after the questions, is ultimately a theological or religious question.

History of the Franciscan Movement
HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN MOVEMENT Volume 2 FROM THE YEAR 1517 TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL On-line course in Franciscan History at Washington Theological Union Washington DC By Noel Muscat OFM Jerusalem 2008 History of the Franciscan Movement. Volume 2: From 1517 to the Second Vatican Council Chapter 10 NEW REFORMS AND NEW DIVISIONS: THE BIRTH OF THE CAPUCHINS AND REFORMS WITHIN THE OBSERVANCE The friars “of the Holy Gospel” The Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance, after the union of all the reformed families in 1517, became a powerful religious family dedicated mainly to apostolic missions. A minority of friars, however, continued to insist upon living a simpler Franciscan life in the hermitages. Besides the Amadeiti and Coletani, there were other congregations which preferred eremitical life, like the Clareni and the friars “of the Holy Gospel” or Capuciati. This last religious family was one which the Bulla Ite vos of Leo X (1517) had not managed to integrate within the Order of the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance. They were born, as we have already seen, with the initiative of Juan de la Puebla, who had made an experience of Franciscan life in the Umbrian hermitages of central Italy, and then had returned to Spain, founding a congregation of friars who lived the literal observance of the Rule in the hermitages. Among his followers there was Juan de Guadalupe, who in 1508 obtained the approval of the Province “of the Holy Gospel”.1 The negative reaction of the Spanish Observants, who persecuted the new religious family, compelled the brothers of the Custody of Estremadura to place themselves under the obedience of the Conventuals in 1515, and thus became to be known by the name of “Reformed Conventuals”.2 They wore a short tunic with a pyramidal hood, and hence also the name Capuciati. -
The Castle and the Virgin in Medieval
I 1+ M. Vox THE CASTLE AND THE VIRGIN IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY RENAISSANCE DRAMA John H. Meagher III A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December, 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee BOWLING GREEN UN1V. LIBRARY 13 © 1977 JOHN HENRY MEAGHER III ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 11 ABSTRACT This study examined architectural metaphor and setting in civic pageantry, religious processions, and selected re ligious plays of the middle ages and renaissance. A review of critical works revealed the use of an architectural setting and metaphor in classical Greek literature that continued in Roman and medieval literature. Related examples were the Palace of Venus, the House of Fortune, and the temple or castle of the Virgin. The study then explained the devotion to the Virgin Mother in the middle ages and renaissance. The study showed that two doctrines, the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of Mary, were illustrated in art, literature, and drama, show ing Mary as an active interceding figure. In civic pageantry from 1377 to 1556, the study found that the architectural metaphor and setting was symbolic of a heaven or structure which housed virgins personifying virtues, symbolically protective of royal genealogy. Pro tection of the royal line was associated with Mary, because she was a link in the royal line from David and Solomon to Jesus. As architecture was symbolic in civic pageantry of a protective place for the royal line, so architecture in religious drama was symbolic of, or associated with the Virgin Mother. -

La plupart des manuscrits proviennent des bibliothèques des anciens scolasticats jésuites de Jersey et d’Enghien (Belgique).

St. Francis De Sales Feast Day: January 24Th Today We Celebrate St
St. Francis de Sales Feast Day: January 24th Today we celebrate St. Francis de Sales, who was born on August 21, 1567 in the province of Savoy, France. He is the patron saint of writers, journalists, authors and deafness. He grew up, as the eldest of six brothers, in a wealthy family. His parents, François de Sales de Boisy and Françoise de Sionnaz, belonged to old Savoyard aristocratic families. His father intended for Francis to be a lawyer in order to take his place as a senator. He received his doctorate at law school but decided to join the priesthood and eventually became the bishop of Geneva. He was called, “Gentleman Saint,” because of his gentle spirit, and dedication to preaching through compassionate means. While working in the diocese of Geneva, he volunteered to evangelize Le Chablais, where the Genevans had imposed the Reformed Faith, by preaching constantly with zeal, kindness and holiness. He authored many publications (books, pamphlets, etc.), such as The Art of Loving God, Introduction to the Devout Life and Finding God’s Will for You. Many writings were addressed to lay people regarding the universal call of all Catholics to be saints. He was blessed in his ability to return Calvinists to the faith through his simple and clear explanation of Catholic doctrine. Furthermore, he used sign language to convert the deaf and helped found the Order of the Visitation, with Jane de Chantal. He had a stroke on December 27th during a journey, back to the diocese of Geneva. There he received the last sacraments and made his profession of faith, repeating constantly the words: "God's will be done! Jesus, my God and my all!" He died the next day, on December 28th, 1622; he was 55 years old. -

Franciscan Missionaries of Mary USA Province Volume 43 No. 4 Fall 2013 Lasagna Garden Our Lady of Lourdes Rose Garden St. Joseph Mary Garden EDITORS’ NOTES Every day, Pope Francis gives a homily based on the scripture readings of the day. These “down to earth” homilies are published on web sites and being read all over the world by per- sons of all religious beliefs as evidenced by remarks made on Twitter, Facebook and else- where. Here is how he began his homily on the story of the Good Samaritan. “I say to myself, and I say to you: do we let God write our lives? Or do we want to do the writing ourselves?” WOW! Does that ever hit home to this writer. How about you readers? Pope Francis continues: “Be docile to the Word of God … have the capacity to hear his voice and to listen to it.” Have any of you had the experience of being asked by Catholics, non-Catholics and those who claim no faith this question: “What do you think about Pope Francis?” Assuredly there is re- newed hope for our Church and beyond, thanks to Pope Francs.

Sharings Summer
Franciscan Missionaries of Mary USA Province Volume 38 No. 2 Summer 2008 Paintings by Frances Falk, fmm of FMM Sisters representing all cultures and their ministries. Editors Notes Sister Death has been a frequent visitor these last months as three more of our Sisters departed for God’s Kingdom; Maria Silva, Mary D. Sullivan and Roseda Cabral. Then, we had cause for joy as we celebrated the Silver, Golden, 60th, 65th, 70th and 75th jubilees. During two weekends in June, Sisters in the USA Province were invited to join Mary of the Passion’s Journey in the Franciscan Way. It was a Pilgrimage that brought us together to encounter, personally and as a province the person of Mary of the Passion. Those present intensified their knowledge, understanding and love of Mary of the Passion. Barbara Dopierala and Nzenzili Mboma prepared the presentations and the Liturgies. Participation in these week- ends was voluntary except for those Sisters with temporary vows but almost all Sisters in the province attended and participated. Each Sister found new insights and a deepening appreciation of Mary of the Passion and her legacy. They succeeded “in unearthing together the treasure they hold and recaptured its spirit and substance.” Maryann Alukonis, fmm, Rosemarie Higgins, fmm, Anne Turbini, fmm 2 OUR DECEASED SISTERS & RELATIVES EULOGIES for Maria Silva, fmm Maria Silva, fmm In the Spiritual Notes of Mary of the Passion we read: (M.

Saint of the Day
Saint of the Day January January 1: Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God This feast of Mary is considered to be one of the oldest and most important feasts of Our Lady. In 431, the Council of Ephesus met to correct false teachings about Christ’s divinity. The Council affirmed that Jesus is true God and true man. Since Mary is the Mother of Jesus, who is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, she can truly be called the Mother of God. Devotion to Mary as the Mother of God continued to spread from this time to the present. January 2: St. Basil the Great, Bishop Born to wealthy family in 330, Basil’s family had been Christians for generations. He was well educated, and eventually settled in Caesarea to practice law in 356. There, he met a bishop named Eustanthius and radically changed his life. He wrote, “I beheld the wonderful light of the Gospel truth, and I recognized the nothingness of the wisdom of the princes of this world.” He was baptized and founded a monastic community on his family estate. St. Basil wrote many works about monastic life which has deeply influence the Eastern Church. He attended the Council of Constantinople in 360 and supported the Nicene Creed. He was made a bishop in 370 and focused on serving the poor and reforming criminals. He died in 379. January 3: The Most Holy Name of Jesus Today we remember that, by conferring the name Jesus on His Son, God set that name above all other names. -
