MARIAN DOCTRINE OF BENEDICT XV Morion Reprint No.7O ABOUT THE TRANSTATION . Finally on the third of September His Eminence James Cardinal della Chiesa was elected Pope. The Cardinal Deacon asked: "You have been canonically elected Pope. Do you accept? " He was answered in the affirmative. Again he asked: "What name have you chosen for yourself?" The answer came quickly: "Benedict XV." (A.A.5., VI, p. 494) It aII happened quite suddenly. Pope Pius X was a seemingly healthy, though elderly, man. When, on August 15, I9L4, he was affIicted with a slight attack of bronchitis. no one considered it serious. But on the 19th, His Holiness took a decided turn for the worse, and on the following day, at 1:15 in the morning, he died "in the peace of Christ," probably more from a broken heart than from any physical ailment. For only months before, the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand presaged the early onslaught of the rvvar which had threatened Europe for so long.

    The Holy See AD BEATISSIMI APOSTOLORUM ENCYCLICAL OF POPE BENEDICT XV APPEALING FOR PEACE TO OUR VENERABLE BRETHREN THE PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER LOCAL ORDINARIES IN PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE. Venerable Brethren, Greeting and Apostolic Benediction. Raised by the inscrutable counsel of Divine Providence without any merit of our own to the Chair of the Prince of the Apostles, we hearkened to those words of Christ Our Lord addressed to Peter, "Feed my lambs, feed my sheep" (John xxii. 15-17) as spoken to Ourselves, and at once with affectionate love we cast our eyes over the flock committed to our care - a numberless flock indeed, comprising in different ways the whole human race. For the whole of mankind was freed from the slavery of sin by the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ as their ransom, and there is no one who is excluded from the benefit of this Redemption: hence the Divine Pastor has one part of the human race already happily sheltered within the fold, the others He declares He will lovingly urge to enter therein: "and other sheep I have, that are not of this fold; them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice" (John x. 16). 2. We make no secret, Venerable Brethren, that the first sentiment we felt in our heart, prompted certainly by the goodness of God, was the inexpressible yearning of a loving desire for the salvation of all mankind, and in assuming the Pontificate our sincere wish was that of Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, when about to die on the Cross: "Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given me" (John xvii.

Save to your computer and extract by clicking on the filename. Foreword In our pluralistic age we recognize many traditions have special gifts to make to a rich, well-balanced spirituality for our time. My own life has shown me the spiritual tradition stemming from St. Dominic, like that from his contemporary St. Francis, provides ever fresh insights. No tradition, however, can be understood merely by looking at its origins. We must see it unfold historically in those who have been formed by that tradition in many times and situations and have furthered its development. To know its essential strength, we need to see it tested, undergoing deformations yet recovering and growing. Therefore, I have tried to survey its eight centuries to give some sense of its chronology and its individual personalities, and of the inclusive Dominican Family. I have aimed only to provide a sketch to encourage readers to use the bibliography to explore further, but with regret I have omitted all documentation except to indicate the source of quotations. Translated 1 quotations are mine. I thank Sister Susan Noffke, O.P., Fr. Thomas Donlan, O.P., for encouraging this project and my Provincial, Fr.
