Myers, KC*HS, Editor Order Has A New Grand Master His Eminence Edwin Cardinal O’Brien, our new Grand Master received his red hat and gold ring with the bas-relief of Saints Peter and Paul on Saturday, February 18, 2012 when he was elevated to Cardinal and is among the newest members of the College of Cardinals. This Consistory featured a new format. Those being elevated received their red hats, rings, and the assignment of their Titular Churches on Saturday, February 18, 2012. The Mass at which they traditionally concelebrate with His Holiness was held on Sunday, February 19, 2012. There was a reception for our new Cardinal at the Palazzo della Rovere, our order’s headquarters in Rome following the Mass on Sunday and a banquet held in honor of His Eminence Edwin F. O’Brien at Cecilia Metella Restaurant, via Appia Antica, 12 at 7:00 in the evening on Sunday. 1 Order Mourns the Passing of Grand Master John Patrick Cardinal Foley Cardinal Foley passed from this life On December 11, 2011 in his native Philadelphia He was 76 years of age GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION A CRY FOR HELP! In the land where Our Lord Jesus Christ chose to be born, where the ultimate loving sacrifice was made by his dying on the cross, and where his glorious resurrection took place…a desperate cry for help can be heard. For many centuries, the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land and the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem have been charged with the protection of Christians and the care of our holy shrines, including the Tomb of Christ. On Good Friday, a special collection is taken up worldwide for this very important cause. Please be very generous this Good Friday, as the needs are especially great due to the unrest in the land of Our Lord. May Our Lady of Palestine bless and embrace you! 2 Join Us In Atlanta Annual Meeting and Investiture April 20-22, 2012 Hotel Intercontinental- Buckhead 3 All Masses and Investiture Will Be Celebrated At Holy Spirit Catholic Church Holy Spirit Parish was established on May 28, 1964, with 250 families, from territory taken largely from the Cathedral of Christ the King Parish. l 4 Photos From The 2011 Annual Meeting 5 2012 Lieutenancy Pilgrimage to the Holy Land Our Lieutenancy is actively continuing with its pilgrimage program having completed its sixth pilgrimage in February 2012. A total of 27 Knights, Ladies and guests made the trip. Upon arrival in Tel Aviv, we were met by Father Peter Vasko, O.F.M. our spiritual leader throughout the pilgrimage. We were also pleased to have with us Most Reverend Ronald Herzog, Bishop of the Diocese of Alexandria, LA. who served as our “Host Bishop” and celebrant at daily masses. We were also fortunate to have two Deacons as part of the group, Deacon Whitney Robichaux, Jr. and Deacon Mark Mitchell, who assisted the Bishop at Mass. At each of the various Holy Sites visited, narratives and explanations were given by Father Peter. As the Latin Patriarch, Archbishop Fouad Twal was unavailable, the group had an audience with Bishop William Shomali, Chancellor of the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem, who awarded 12 Pilgrim Shells to the Clergy, Knights and Ladies of the Order making their first pilgrimage to the Holy Land. All pilgrims renewed their baptismal vows at the River Jordon and the couples in attendance renewed their wedding vows in Cana, an emotional experience for all even after many, many years of marriage. These were but a few of the many spiritually moving experiences of the pilgrims. To have prayed the Stations of the Cross in the footsteps of Jesus at the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday, concluding with visits to Calvary, where he was crucified, and the Tomb where he was buried and resurrected, were surely some of the highlights of the trip. These pilgrims, as have others before them, found this faith journey to be an emotionally and spiritually rewarding experience which will have a profound impact on their Christian lives and love for Jesus and our Holy Mother Church. Planning for the next pilgrimage back to the Holy Land is underway and is scheduled for February 1-11, 2013. Father Peter F. Vasko, O.F.M, will be our spiritual leader.

Use them individually or in a series. You may A Series in Faith and Ethics reproduce them for personal or group use. A Vision So Old It Looks New 2 It is hard to be a Christian in America today. But that can be good news, the new monastics are discovering. If the cost of discipleship pushes us to go back and listen to Jesus again, it may open us to costly grace and the transformative power of resurrection life. In every era God has raised up new monas- tics to remind the Church of its true vocation. The Finkenwalde Project 4 Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s project at Finkenwalde Seminary to recover for congregations the deep Christian tradition is a prominent model for young twenty-first-century Christians. Weary of the false dichotomy between right belief and right practice, they seek the wholeness of discipleship in what Bonhoeffer called “a kind of new monasticism.” Evangelicals and Monastics 6 Could any two groups of Christians—evangelicals and monastics—be more different? But the New Monasticism movement has opened a new chapter in the relations of these previously estranged groups. Nothing is more characteristic of monastics and evangelicals than their unshakable belief that one cannot be truly spiritual without putting one’s faith into practice, and one cannot sustain Christian discipleship without a prayerful spirituality.

    Travels in America: Aelred Carlyle, His American “Allies,” and Anglican Benedictine Monasticism Rene Kollar Saint Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, Pennsylvania N FEBRUARY 1913, Abbot Aelred Carlyle and a majority of the Benedictine monks of Caldey Island, South Wales, renounced the Anglican Church and converted to I Roman Catholicism.1 For years, the Caldey Island monastery had been a show piece of Anglo-Catholicism and a testimony to the catholic heritage of the Anglican Church, but when Charles Gore, the Bishop of Oxford, tried to regularize their status within Anglicanism by forcing Carlyle and the monks to agree to a series of demands which would radically alter their High Church liturgy and devotions, the monks voted to join the Church of Rome. The demands of the Great War, however, strained the fragile finances of the island monastery, and during the spring of 1918, Abbot Carlyle traveled to America to solicit funds for his monastery. “And it was indeed sheer necessity that took me away from the quiet shores of Caldey,” he told the readers of Pax, the community’s magazine, but “Caldey has suffered grievously through the war.”2 Abbot Carlyle saw a possible solution to his problems. “In our need we turned to our Catholic Allies in the United States, and my duty seemed obvious that I should accept the invitation I had received to go to New York to plead in person the cause of Caldey there.” Carlyle had not forgotten lessons from the past. During his years as an Anglican monk, the American connection proved to be an important asset in the realization of his monastic dreams.

    Fall 2017 A Newsletter of the Malta Study Center THE MALTA STUDY CENTER at the Dear Melitensians, Valletta houses some of the richest archival collections in the Mediterranean. Although the Archives of the Order of Malta in the National Library stand out as the preeminent example of this wealth in documents and history, several other smaller, less well-known archives detail this history of Malta and the Mediterranean in intimate detail. Chief among these are the confraternal archives found in Valletta. Th ese repositories record the charitable works and donations of their members dating back to the 16th century. I am happy to report that we began our project at the Archives of the Confraternity of Charity in May, 2017. Th e archive resides in a hidden tower within Saint Paul’s Shipwreck Church in Valletta. Th is preliminary work successfully digitized 90 manuscripts, focusing on the registers, account books, and confraternal foundations. More than half the collection remains to be digitized. Our success at the Confraternity of Charity led to greater interest in the Center from other confraternities of Malta, including the Archconfraternity of the Holy Rosary. Th anks to our partners in Malta, we will soon begin digitizing the Archconfraternity of the Holy Rosary as part of the private archive project co-sponsored by the Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti.

  • The Ancient History and the Female Christian Monasticism: Fundamentals and Perspectives

    The Ancient History and the Female Christian Monasticism: Fundamentals and Perspectives

    Athens Journal of History - Volume 3, Issue 3 – Pages 235-250 The Ancient History and the Female Christian Monasticism: Fundamentals and Perspectives By Paulo Augusto Tamanini This article aims to discuss about the rediscovery and reinterpretation of the Eastern Monasticism focusing on the Female gender, showing a magnificent area to be explored and that can foment, in a very positive way, a further understanding of the Church's face, carved by time, through the expansion and modes of organization of these groups of women. This article contains three main sessions: understanding the concept of monasticism, desert; a small narrative about the early ascetic/monastic life in the New Testament; Macrina and Mary of Egypt’s monastic life. Introduction The nomenclatures hide a path, and to understand the present questions on the female mystique of the earlier Christian era it is required to revisit the past again. The history of the Church, Philosophy and Theology in accordance to their methodological assumptions, concepts and objectives, give us specific contributions to the enrichment of this comprehensive knowledge, still opened to scientific research. If behind the terminologies there is a construct, a path, a trace was left in the production’s trajectory whereby knowledge could be reached and the interests of research cleared up. Once exposed to reasoning and academic curiosity it may provoke a lively discussion about such an important theme and incite an opening to an issue poorly argued in universities. In the modern regime of historicity, man and woman can now be analysed based on their subjectivities and in the place they belong in the world and not only by "the tests of reason", opening new ways to the researcher to understand them.
  • A Brief Introduction to Orthodox Monastic Life (Monks and Nuns)

    A Brief Introduction to Orthodox Monastic Life (Monks and Nuns)

    Monasticism By Fr. John Hopko Each year on May 15, Orthodox Christians commemorate the memory of Saint Pachomius the Great, the founder of cenobitic monasticism. Cenobitic is an English word that has its roots in a Greek compound word that means “life in common.” So, cenobitic monasticism is, in fact, the kind of monastic life with which we are most familiar today—life lived by monks or nuns, in common, together in a monastery. For most of us, that is about as much as we know about the life of monks and nuns—that they are religious people who live in communal life together in a monastery. So, the question is raised, what is day-to-day life like in a monastic community? Who are the monastics? They are Orthodox Christian people who have decided to fully and formally commit themselves to a way of life that leaves behind worldly pursuits and concentrates on spiritual work. In a monastery at any given time you have living there a variety of people ranging from “seekers,” through “novices”, to the “clothed” and “professed”, and on to the “elders.” Seekers are those who have come to live in the monastery with the idea that they might have a calling to live in a monastery as a monk or nun. But, they have made no permanent commitment and they are not yet clothed in monastic clothes (the “habit”). Novices are those who truly believe they have a calling to live in the monastery, and who are blessed to wear a portion of the monastic habit, usually the basic black robe and belt and a monastic head-covering.

THE COAT OF ARMS SOME EXTERNAL INSIGNIA OF OFFICE FOR DIGNITARIES OF THE ORDER OF ST JOHN OF JERUSALEM, CYPRUS, RHODES AND MALTA John Joseph Fitzpatrick Kennedy Among the surprises awaiting the student of Hospitaller heraldry is the discovery that certain dignitaries of the order were entitled to use maces and standards, that is to say, external insignia of their offices in their heraldic achievements. Three customs relating to the heraldic display of the officers of the order are well-known, if insufficiently studied. They may be delineated as (a) the ‘Grand Master’s Custom’, by which the Grand Master could quarter the arms of the Religion in the first and fourth quarters with his family arms in the second and third;1 (b) the ‘Chief of Religion’, the custom which arose in 1470, by which a chief of the arms of the Religion could be added to the arms of Capitular Baillis and Grand Crosses of the order;2 and (c) the ‘Grand Cross custom’, by which knights placing their arms over an eight pointed cross of Malta when they became Grand Crosses of the order.3 It is not however the intention of this study to examine these three customs.

  • Hadrian the African: Fact Sheet / Time Line (Michael Wood)

    Hadrian the African: Fact Sheet / Time Line (Michael Wood)

    HADRIAN THE AFRICAN – fact sheet Michael Wood, 2020 There is no separate in-depth account of Hadrian and his legacy. The key study of his life is by M Lapidge and B Bischoff Biblical Commentaries from the Canterbury School of Theodore and Hadrian Cambridge 1994 pp82-132. To draw up this fact sheet/time line I have used this along with older studies starting with AS Cook in 1923, and added new finds made over the last few years, the latest by Franck Cinato in 2017. It mainly concentrates on what we might be able to deduce about his life and career in Africa and Naples before he came to England. For all his importance, Hadrian was till recently a poorly studied figure – not least because of the difficulty of finding evidence; but the one certainty is that more is to be discovered. My article on him comes out in the October issue of the BBC History magazine. Any comments or suggestions gratefully received! 1) Hadrian was born in North Africa (in the 620s?) and died in Canterbury on January 9 709 or 710. 2) He was of ‘African race” vir natione Afir (so Bede- Hadrian was alive till Bede was in his thirties.) NB the use of this term by the likes of Virgil, Martial and Statius: it is often specifically used by Latin poets to refer to a native of Libya. Maybe then he was a Berber/Amazigh? Probably as a fluent Greek speaker he was from the Greek-speaking part of North Africa – i.e. Cyrenaica; but where exactly we don’t know.
