Wayzata Blvd. | Wayzata, MN 55391 School Fax: 952R745R4598 JOYFUL EASTER NEWS JESUS ABIDES WITH US IN THE EUCHARIST The Glad Tidings of Easter with a Bit of Apprehension. Chrisans revel in joy over the Good News of the Resurrecon during the Easter season, but there is an underlying cause for worry. The Ascension is celebrated on the Seventh Sunday of Easter, and with the Ascension, the physical presence of Jesus in bodily form and audible voice is over. With Jesus no longer in Nazareth, Capernaum, or Jerusalem, and with Jesus no longer speaking in the synagogues, on the hillside, or along the seashore, where is the presence of Jesus to be found? Reassurances of the Abiding Presence of Jesus. On the Second Sunday of Easter there is a horizontal thread that connects the first readings from the Acts of the Apostles for Years A, B, and C that highlights how Jesus connues to be present in the community of believers. On the Third Sunday of Easter there is another horizontal thread, this me in the gospels of Years A, B, and C, that highlights how Jesus connues to be present in the Eucharist. The Third Sunday of Easter, Year A (Lk 24:13R35). On Easter Sunday a ernoon Jesus appeared to Cleopas and another disciple as they walked to Emmaus. That evening they ate together, and Jesus “took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them” (Lk 24:30), and as they shared the breaking of the bread they recognized that it was Jesus and experienced his special presence with them. Jesus had performed this Eucharisc acon twice before, first when he fed the five thousand (Lk 9:16), and then, most importantly, at the Last Supper The Eucharist (Lk 22:14R20), when Jesus added, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do St. Pius X Catholic Church this in memory of me” (Lk 22:19b). Jesus was present to the five thousand, the Onida, SD twelve apostles, and Cleopas and another disciple, and Jesus is present to us in the breaking of the bread. The Third Sunday of Easter, Year B (Lk 24:35R48). The allusion to the Eucharist is more subtle, but it is intenonal and significant. When Jesus appeared to the disciples in Jerusalem on Easter Sunday night, Jesus tried to reassure them that it was actually him present by showing them his hands and his feet. To further reassure them he decided to eat something in front of them, and “they gave him a piece of baked fish” (Lk 24:42). The food choice is no accident. It could have been figs, dates, olives, cheese, or lamb, all very common foods, but it was fish. The menon of fish comes immediately a er the menon of bread in the Emmaus encounter previously (Lk 24:30). The other fish meal in the gospel of Luke is the feeding of the five thousand when Jesus mulplied two fish (Lk 9:13,16). Jesus was present when he ate fish in front of his disciples, and Jesus Fish, Jesus’ Easter Sunday night dinner is present when we share his Eucharisc meal. Light of Christ Catholic Church, Clearwater, FL The Third Sunday of Easter, Year C (Jn 21:1R19). The risen Jesus appeared to his disciples along the Sea of Tiberias. They had been fishing all night and caught nothing, but then made a miraculous catch. Once they hauled their nets ashore they found Jesus standing near a charcoal fire “with fish on it and bread” (Jn 21:9b). Then “Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish” (Jn 21:13). Jesus was personally present to the disciples as they ate their meal with him, a Eucharisc acon prefigured when Jesus fed a large crowd with five loaves and two fish (Jn 6:1R 13). On Holy Thursday night Jesus ancipated his physical departure so he promised his disciples, “I will not leave you orphans” (Jn 14:18), and he fulfills his promise through his ongoing presence in the breaking of the bread, the Eucharist. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, 2 FR. MIKE VAN SLOUNAO you should also do. John 13:15 APRIL 21, SAINT ANSELM, Bishop and Doctor of the Church St. Anselm was born in 1033 in Aosta in Piedmont, Italy. His father strictly controlled the family home. When Anselm was fi een he wanted to join the Benedicne monastery in Aosta, but his father refused to allow it, so when Anselm turned twentyRthree he le home, traveled across the Alps, and went to Burgundy, France, where he went to study. In 1059 he became a friend of Lanfranc, the prior of the Benedicne abbey in Bec, Normandy, and he became a Benedicne monk there in 1060. Anselm made rapid progress in the spiritual life, and he taught theology to his fellow students. Three years later Lanfranc was elected abbot of another abbey and Anselm replaced him as prior. Anselm developed a reputaon as an excellent preacher, he did much to reform monasc life, and he was greatly loved by his fellow monks. He was consecrated abbot of the Bec Abbey in 1078, and he maintained close contact with his mentor Lanfranc who had become Archbishop of Canterbury. Lanfranc died in 1089, and in 1092 the English clergy, who had come to know Anselm because of his visits to England to care for Benedicne property there, elected Anselm as his successor. Anselm insisted on the spiritual independence of the diocese and would not tolerate government interference, and as a result King William II refused to confirm his elecon. Anselm moved to Canterbury in 1093, and the conflict with King William II escalated. The king demanded a large payment for his nominaon as bishop, which he refused to pay, and would not allow him to convene synods. King William demanded that Pope Urban I remove Anselm, and he threatened to confiscate church property if he did not do so. Anselm was exiled in 1097. He went to Cluny, Lyons, and then to Rome, where he tendered his resignaon. Pope Urban I reaffirmed his confidence in Anselm, ordered King William to permit his return, and insisted that all confiscated monies and properes be given back. Before Anselm’s return to England, Urban asked Anselm to aend Saint Anselm the Council of Bari (1098) where he effecvely defended Filioque, the Church’s Our Lady and the English Martyrs doctrine of the double procession of the Holy Spirit from both the Father and Cambridge, England the Son. Photo by: Fr. Lawrence Lew, O.P. Anselm returned to England in 1100. King Henry I had assumed the throne a er William’s death, and another round of disputes began. Henry insisted on the lay investure of bishops and abbots. Anselm refused. Henry threatened further confiscaon of church revenue and property and sent Anselm into exile in 1103. Again, he returned to Rome. The new Pope, Paschal II, fully backed Anselm and refused to accede to Henry’s demands. When Anselm did return, the archbishop and the king reached a concordat: the king would no longer seek to invest bishops and the church would pay tribute to the king in the temporal realm. Anselm is remembered as a brilliant theologian and philosopher, and he is regarded as the Father of WEEKLY READINGS Scholascism.

Anselm of Canterbury (Aosta c. 1033 – Canterbury 21 April 1109), also called of Aosta for his birthplace, and of Bec for his home monastery, was a Benedictine monk, a philosopher, and a prelate of the Church who held the office of Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to 1109. Called the founder of scholasticism, he is famous as the originator of the ontological argument for the existence of God. Born into the House of Candia, he entered the Benedictine order at the Abbey of Bec at the age of 27, where he became abbot in 1079. He became Archbishop of Canterbury under William II of England, and was exiled from England from 1097 to 1100, and again from 1105 to 1107 under Henry I of England as a result of the investiture controversy, the most significant conflict between Church and state in Medieval Europe. Anselm was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1720 by a Papal Bull of Pope Clement XI.

  • Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1109 April 21, 2021 by the Reverend Stephen Gerth Romans 5:1–11; Psalm 139:1–9; Matthew 5:16; Matthew 11:25–30
    Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1109 April 21, 2021 By the Reverend Stephen Gerth Romans 5:1–11; Psalm 139:1–9; Matthew 5:16; Matthew 11:25–30 Today we commemorate Anselm, a Benedictine monk who became archbishop of Canterbury on the fourth of December in 1093. He served until his death on April 21 in 1109. I first crossed paths with Anselm as an undergraduate major in philosophy. I do not remember the name of the course in which we studied the philosophical arguments for the existence of God, but I remember well our teacher, Cora Diamond. She is now a retired professor emerita at the University of Virginia. Though for a century or more, I think it is correct to say that most philosophers have not been people of faith. We were studying Anselm in the Department of Philosophy because Anselm is credited with conceiving the Ontological Argument for the Existence of God—from the Greek “onta”—things which exist. It begins with the proposition of God as “something than which nothing greater”— “or better”—“can be conceived.”1 A not entirely dissimilar argument dates from Plato, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas, the Cosmological Argument. It begins with the fact that there is a creation. Therefore, there must be a Creator.2 If I recall correctly, both arguments are not considered logically satisfactory. I no longer remember the details of these arguments, but insight from Anselm has remained with me. He wrote, “I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order that I may understand.

  • Tosny Family Estates
    1 Tosny Family Estates. Tosny1 Family Estates in Normandy c.1172 The Tosny family’s accumulation of properties in Normandy began, of course, with the estate and ville of Tosny itself, which was given by Hugues de Calvacamp, Archbishop of Rouen (942-989), to his brother Raoul(i) de Tosny. However, the lands which Archbishop Hugues alienated from the cathedral and archdiocese of Rouen included more than just Tosny. It is also very difficult to differentiate these former church lands from those obtained by the family from other sources. By 1172, the family’s possessions included those that are shown in the following maps and table. As can be seen, a number of them are considered to have come from the archbishop.2 In the table below these are marked with a . ESTATE J.

  • PENURIA NOMINUM and LANGUAGE RECTITUDO. LINGUISTIC ECONOMY in SAINT ANSELM of CANTERBURY Riccardo Fedriga – Roberto Limonta
    PENURIA NOMINUM AND LANGUAGE RECTITUDO. LINGUISTIC ECONOMY IN SAINT ANSELM OF CANTERBURY Riccardo Fedriga – Roberto Limonta The role that language holds in Anselm’s thought can hardly be underestimated, for what concerns both his philosophical and logical arguments (as in De gram- matico, De veritate and Cur Deus Homo) and his more strictly theological re- flections (in theMonologion and Proslogion above all). Indeed, it may be argued that the crux of Anselm’s thought precisely resides in the intimate tie between language analysis and Trinitarian theology, so that it is not possible to elucidate one without elucidating the other, and vice-versa. In the light of Anselm’s con- ception of language, therefore, we shall advance an analysis of the term pauper- tas and all its semantic ramifications, showing how the term and the concept it conveys stand at the core of a theoretical construction that organically and seamlessly connects logical-linguistical terms (e.g. cogitatio vocum and cogitatio rerum, significatio per seand per aliud), theological and philosophical principles (such as Verbum, intima locutio and veritas), and monastic values that belong to the ethical, social and political context, such as silence and rectitudo. 1. PAUPERTAS AND TACITURNITAS: THE LANGUAGE OF THINGS If we consider the occurrences of the terms belonging to the semantic area of paupertas in Anselm’s work (paupertas, pauper, paupero), we see that they con- stantly oscillate between two extremes. On the one hand, we have paupertas in its more commonly understood sense: that expressed in the formula “pauper est anima mea”, which indicates a condition of poverty; its opposite is represented by the dives, the rich person who owns much.

OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS M UCCCC XIII 190 J)37 Y.l PREFACE This is the first of three volumes covering the period of the Anglo-Norman kings (1066-1154). The second and third volumes are far advanced, and will shortly be in the press. The object of ^ the series is to give a calendar, chronologically arranged and the of critically annotated, of the royal acts of period, and some cognate documents which are valuable for the historian. The first care of the editor has been to call attention to materials which iUustrate the development of law and institutions. But the interests of the genealogist and the topographer have not been neglected. Pains have been taken to record the names of persons, and the more important names of places, which are mentioned in the docu- ments. The collection includes charters issued in and for Normandy. Norman archives have not been searched for the purpose, since the Norman material is being coUected by Professor Haskins. But it seemed advisable to calendar such Norman charters as have been or are to be found in for of printed EngUsh manuscripts ; many these charters throw useful sideUghts upon EngUsh history.
