Director, break ground were campaign co-chairs Leo and A Message From the Prioress Dear Friends of St. Scholastica Monastery, As the Easter Season has drawn to a close, we celebrate the solemnities that follow the Paschal Season. In the recent gospels we have been hearing Jesus instruct his followers to believe in him even in their lack of understanding. Jesus assures them that he will not leave them alone but will be with them as the gift of the Spirit comes upon them. I hope this season of the Paschal Mystery has enlivened your faith in the Risen Jesus. During the month of May we here at St. Scholastica have been reading a reflection journal from the Leadership Conference of Women Religious about contemplative prayer by religious leaders of various communities. I began to think about what the Rule of Saint Benedict says about contemplative prayer. St. Benedict doesn’t use the word as such but he does in a number of chapters say what the monk must do to prepare for prayer. Chapter 52 of the Rule, speaking about the behavior we should exercise in the oratory, encourages us to respect members who wish to pray quietly. St. Benedict says, “After the work, all should leave in complete silence and with reverence for God, so that a brother (sister) who may wish to pray alone will not be disturbed by insensitivity of others.” In other places throughout the Rule, St. Benedict tells us that we need to spend time in holy reading (lectio divina), especially reading the gospels which he freely quotes throughout the Rule. Groundbreaking for the new monastery gave us another reason for rejoicing this Easter season. Sister Pierre and her helpers transplanted shrubbery and trees from the site of the new monastery to an area along South Albert Pike as a buffer from the street. I must say they are thriving. I can also joyfully say we are on the way on our journey Forward in Faith. In a few weeks we will begin the summer season. The question we all ask is “will it be a hot summer?” Who knows!! Thank you for all you do for us. We sisters are most grateful for your love and support. Blessings in hope and love, Sister Maria’s Term as Prioress Is Extended through May, 2019 On April 21, the sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery extended the term of Sister Maria DeAngeli, OSB as prioress through May, 2019. Prior to their making a deci- sion, Sister Aileen Bankemper from St. Walburg Monastery in Covington, KY, and Sister Kathy Huber from Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand, IN led the sisters in a two-day reflection process. Sister Joella Kidwell, President of the Federation of St. Gertrude, also provided consultation and advice. On May 9, she presided at the blessing of Sister Maria’s extended term. Sister Maria, a native of Lake Village, AR, is one of seven children of the late Angelo and Lois DeAngeli. She entered St. Scholastica Monastery in 1949 and made her monastic profession in 1953. She holds a B.S. in Education from E. Central State University, Ada, OK and an M.S. in Pastoral Studies from Loyola University, Chi- cago and has taken additional courses in hospice work, social work, and Spanish. She taught in Morrison Bluff, Conway, Russellville, and Fort Smith, AR, and Clear Creek, MO. She worked in parish ministry in Russellville, Crossett, and Helena, AR. Prior to her two terms as prioress, she served as sub-prioress, formation director, (L to R) Sisters Joella Kidwell and gift shop manager. and Maria DeAngeli Vol. 46, No. 2 Horizons July, 2017 HORIZONS is published three times a year by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery P.O.

Taking a break from her many responsibilities in the monastery, which include coordinating the sisters’ healthcare and managing the library and archives, has given her an op- portunity to reflect. Before making her perpetual profession in 2010, Sister Cecelia spoke of the challenges of learning to live with more than 60 unique person- alities, and how they taught her to be a better listener. Today she lives with fewer than 40 sisters and still sees God working powerfully in their lives. “I’ve experienced a lot of changes,” she said. “We’re smaller, but growing smaller has helped us grow closer, too. When there are fewer people we can see the acts of kindness, caring, and love more easily.” Sister Cecelia’s monastic experience has been a journey into the deep, learning through each step to let go and rely on God’s wisdom. “Even though in 2007 I thought I understood what monastic life was going to mean, I understand now that it’s a lot deeper, and what I thought I knew was superficial. I look forward to having time to readjust my understanding and am sure it will continue to grow even deeper by the time I celebrate my 25th jubilee.” She looks forward to spending a week at Hesychia House of Prayer in early July to have the time to be still and reflect. It was in 2001 at Hesychia that Sister Cecelia, after a period of discernment, first made her decision to enter St. Scho- lastica. During that retreat she heard God say, “I love you. I have a plan for you. Trust me. My time is not your time.” Shortly after the retreat, her mother became ill, and Sister Cecelia realized that God was calling her to spend as much time with her parents as her schedule would allow. After her mother died in 2002, she realized that God’s time and hers were beginning to coincide. Sister Cecelia, a registered nurse who spent 25 years as a health care provider in Helena Regional Medical Center and two years at St. Francis Hospital in Memphis while raising her daughter Jenny, knows that God’s time and God’s call can come at any time of life. “If you think you have a call to religious life, be open, listen. When that peace fills your heart, you’ll know you have your answer.” From the Development Office by Sister Elise Forst, OSB Dear Friends, Groundbreaking for our new monastery on May 10 was a giant step in our journey Forward in Faith! I and all the sisters felt excitement because the day meant that our long planning process was about to be translated into a new reality.

Why are dialectic swings in approaches to political economy becoming so dramatic - exemplified by dramatic swings between internationalism and xenophobic nationalism - occurring? Why is national consensus, civil unity, so hard to achieve? This book argues that the answer lies in the growing complexity of societies globally. On the one hand this growing complexity has husbanded a golden era in which the standard of living is improving throughout most of the world; on the other hand it has laid the groundwork for the total destruction of the human race.

  • Charlestown Annual Veterans' Dinner
    VOL. 118 - NO. 46 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 $.35 A COPY CHARLESTOWN ANNUAL VETERANS’ DINNER by Sal Giarratani Once again, all Charlestown veterans and those presently on active duty, family and friends packed the Knights of Columbus on Medford Street last Friday, November 7 at the 2nd Annual Veterans’’ Dinner sponsored by the Abraham Lincoln Post 11, GAR. This year’s gathering more than doubled in size over previous gatherings at Post 11 GAR on Green Street. Post Commander Joe Zuffante, hoped next year’s gathering and those to follow will keep growing in participation. As a member of Post 11, I very much appreciated the tribute this year to all those Townies who served during the Vietnam War, especially honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. This annual pre-Veterans Day appreciation dinner is held to honor all who served in the Armed Forces. It was 96 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, that World War I came to an end and hun- dreds of thousands of American soldiers began the long voyage home. This year, in the months to come many of our troops will be coming home and sadly many others will be going off to harm’s way leaving their loving fami- lies behind to defend American principles. As a Vietnam era U.S. Air Force veteran, I remain especially cognitive of the lack of appreciation and honor due to them when they returned from the war which had grown quite unpopular at home in the U.S.

  • Making America's Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation
    Making America’s Music: Jazz History and the Jazz Preservation Act Jeff Farley Department of American Studies University of Glasgow A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2, 2008 c Jeff Farley 2008 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate some significant examples of the process by which jazz has been shaped by the music industry and government and their ideas of the place of jazz within American culture and society. The examples demonstrate that the history and traditions of jazz are not fixed entities, but rather constructions used to understand and utilise issues of race, national identity, cultural value, and musical authenticity and innovation. Engagement with such issues has been central to identifying jazz as America’s music, as it earned this status from its worldwide popularity and its identity as an inno- vative black American art form. Recognition for jazz as American music, in conjunction with its improvisational nature, consequently led to the identification of jazz as ‘demo- cratic’ music through its role in racial integration in America and in its representation of American democracy in government propaganda programmes. The different histories of jazz and its status as democratic, American music have all been especially important to the development of House Concurrent Resolution 57 in 1987, referred to as the Jazz Preservation Act (JPA). Authored by Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, the JPA defined jazz as a ‘national treasure’ that deserved public support and inclusion in the education system. Few in the industry have criticised the recognition and public subsidy of jazz, but many have found fault with the JPA’s definitions of jazz and its history that have dictated this support.

  • Blue Note Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963
    Discography Of The Blue Note Label Blue Note was started in New York City in 1938 by Alfred W. Lion. Blue Note recorded jazz only. The following history of the Blue Note record label is from the Blue Note Website (bluenote.com). “In 1925, 16-year old Alfred Lion noticed a concert poster for Sam Wooding's orchestra near his favorite ice-skating arena in his native Berlin, Germany. He'd heard many of his mother's jazz records and began to take an interest in the music, but that night his life was changed. The impact of what he heard live touched a deep passion within him. His thirst for the music temporarily brought him to New York in 1928 where he worked on the docks and slept in Central Park to get closer to the music. On December 23, 1938, Lion attended the celebrated Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall. The power, soul and beauty with which boogie woogie piano masters Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis rocked the stage gripped him. Exactly two weeks later, on January 6 at 2 in the afternoon, he brought them into a New York studio to make some recordings. They took turns at the one piano, recording four solos each before relinquishing the bench to the other man. The long session ended with two stunning duets. Blue Note Records was finally a reality. The label's first brochure in May of 1939 carried a statement of purpose that Lion rarely strayed from throughout the many styles and years during which he built one of the greatest jazz record companies in the world.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Kevin James Madigan Timothy M. Baker “Be You as Living Stones Built Up, A Spiritual House, A Holy Priesthood”: Cistercian Exegesis, Reforms, and the Construction of Holy Architectures ABSTRACT The development of the Cistercian Order in the twelfth century came as a product of a number of eleventh-century reforms. These reforms affected all strata of society, and they impacted the way in which medieval European Christians viewed themselves, their social, political, and theological structures, the world around them, and their relationship to the Christian narrative of salvation history and eschatology.
