    CIBI CONTACT News from the Carmelite Institute of Britain & Ireland - June 2011 www.cibi.ie CARMELITES LEARNING WITH AND FROM EACH OTHER The Carmelite Institute of Britain & Ireland (CIBI) is a wonderful example of the collaboration and sharing that exists between the various different expressions of the Carmelite charism. In recent years the formation of new Carmelites - be they friars, enclosed nuns, active sisters or lay people - has benefitted from increased interaction between different groups within the Carmelite Family. This year there have been a number of initiatives bringing Carmelites together. In April 2011 a joint meeting took place for novice Carmelite friars and their directors of both the Ancient (O.Carm.) and Discalced (O.Carm.) observances, at Abbotswick House of Prayer in the English diocese of Brentwood. Over the course of five days the novices had the opportunity to learn more about the life and writings of St. John of the Cross from Fr. Matthew Blake, O.C.D. Those present shared their stories and experiences of Carmel within their respective branches of the Order, and a spirit of fraternity pervaded the gathering. Important seeds were planted and it is hoped that more such meetings will take place in the future. The novices have also received input in Ireland from a good number of CIBI tutors. The O.Carm. and O.C.D. novice friars were joined at Abbotswick by Frs. Joseph Chalmers, O.Carm. (3rd from left), Matthew Blake, O.C.D. (4th from left) and Liam Finnerty, O.C.D. (2nd from right). Interaction between different Carmelite vocations was also seen on a recent visit made by the novice friars of the Ancient Observance to the northern English city of York.

  • Rococo Gardens and Their Reception in Polish Garden Art of the 18Th Century
    ROCZNIKI HUMANISTYCZNE Tom LXVII, zeszyt 4 – 2019 DOi: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rh.2019.67.4-3 SeWeRyN Malawski THE STYLE Of ‘REGULAR IRREGULARITIES’ – rOCOCO GARDENS AND THEIR RECEPTION IN POLISH GARDEN ART OF THE 18TH CENTURY For many researchers distinguishing the Rococo as an independent style which appears in various fields of art is not an unambiguous matter. The stylish distinction of the Rococo was evidenced in the nineteenth century by the German writer and art historian Anton Springer (1825-1891). Although many researchers accepted this thesis, after the First World War there was a retreat from this view. Many art historians have considered Rococo as the late phase of the Baroque or its variant. Nowadays, most researchers agree that Rococo was not a continuation of Baroque, but it instead took an opposite position. However, one can find many formal elements of the Baroque in the Rococo art1. Discussion on the topic, though on a much smaller scale, was also under ta­ ken by researchers of garden art. Rococo gardens appeared and vanished from the works devoted to historic gardens.

  • St. Raphael Kalinowski and the Carmelite Secular Order 1 The
    St. Raphael Kalinowski and the Carmelite Secular Order 1 The Carmelite Secular Order came into being in the 14th century in Western Europe but did not have any permanent institutions or legal norms at that time. The Carmelite Third or Secular Order may be defined as a group of lay people who are dedicated to the Carmelite spirit or charism of St. Teresa and who in an organized way, recite the Prayer of the Church and take part in the Eucharist on a regular basis. They usually meet monthly in a given location. All lay people belonging to the Carmelite Secular Order, formerly known as the Third Order, belong to the Carmelite family , and to a lesser extent people who wear the scapular as members of a Brown Scapular Confraternity of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel . So also members of other Carmelite Confraternities, such as that of St. Joseph, the Infant Jesus or contemporary mission groups, Secular Carmelite Institutes, the Carmelite Missionaries , two groups of which were founded by Blessed Francis Palau. (A Community of Palau Sisters came to work in our Sydney house , based in Varroville near Campbelltown some years ago.) Others such as the `Elianum`, the Institute of Notre Dame de Vie, or various Teresian groups also belong to the Carmelite family. Increasing interest in the Carmelite Secular Order has resulted firstly from a rapidly growing devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, and embracing a great number of contemporary Christians. For example the original Carmelite Rule of Life , known as the Rule of St.

He had one desire – to spend his life working with the young. This was achieved by employing a simple teaching method still practiced today. The Preventive System – based on love and not punishment, with reason, religion, and loving kindness. We call this the Salesian Spirit. Today, many Missioners, Volunteers, and Cooperators practice his philosophy with the continued interest and generosity of people all over the world. May our combined efforts bring hope to those in need.

St Therese Calendar 2020_Layout 1 01/10/2019 08:18 Page 3 Dear Friend, The Carmelite Family is very blessed to have a Family of Saints associated with us: Saints Louis and Zélie Martin and their daughter, St. Thérèse of Lisieux. We believe that the Martin Family embody what is best in family life and offer a wonderful example of what a family can become. Consequently, in conjunction with its organisers, we arranged that the Relics of these three extraordinary Saints would be in Ireland for the World Meeting of Families. They travelled around the country so that as many people as possible could visit them and, of course, they were present at the Papal Mass in the Phoenix Park. We were delighted with the positive and warm reception that the Relics received over the five weeks they were in Ireland. I take this opportunity to thank again all those who were involved in this great event. Louis and Zélie were canonized by Pope Francis in 2015, the first couple to be canonized. This was a recognition that married life and parenting are a very special and important vocation.
