Pray for the ones you like and pray extra hard for those you don’t like. Please read up on Catholic social teaching and share what you read and talk about it at the dinner table.

This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph (6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that Congregation. The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961.

A palace school was established by the Franks for the training of princes and nobles ; when Charlemagne ap pointed Alcuin as its superintendent, it rapidly became a great centre of learning. The palace school was founded by one of the pre decessors of Charlemagne for the training of the sons of princes and nobles. As a court school it moved about with the monarch from place to place. Charlemagne himself was trained there.1 He had some knowledge of Greek as well as Latin, and studied with the grammarian, Peter of Pisa ; possibly also with Paul the Deacon (t 797), a Benedictine monk and noted Lombard scholar, who taught Greek at his court for a time, and afterwards wrote a history of the Lombards.

  • Thomas of Eccleston, the Chronicler of the Friars' Arrival In
    chapter 1 Thomas of Eccleston, the Chronicler of the Friars’ Arrival in England Michael J.P. Robson The decision to plant the ideals of St Francis of Assisi on English soil was cloaked in the unrivalled spiritual authority of the founder, who appointed Agnellus of Pisa, custos of Paris, as the head of the mission.The nine friars,1 who sailed from Normandy to Dover, laid the foundations of the English province, a movement that was chronicled by Thomas of Eccleston, who attests that they arrived on 10 September 1224,2 although an alternative date of 24 August is cited by some Franciscan witnesses and sources well acquainted with the order.3 Facts are blended with exempla materials in the Tractatus de adventu Fratrum Minorum in Angliam and form a unique witness to the remarkable growth of the English province, incorporating copious references to the inspira- tional founder, his visionary teaching and the zeal of the first friars. Anecdotes and more conventional history jostle for the author’s attention and compete for space in his recollections. The virtues of the early friars were rehearsed to chal- lenge their confrères in succeeding generations to excel in virtue. This study analyses Eccleston’s account, the English province’s fidelity to the teaching of St Francis, recruitment to the order, its pastoral ministry and its sometimes vexed dealings with the monastic world. 1 Grado Giovanni Merlo, Nel nome di san Francesco: Storia dei frati Minori e del francescanesimo sino agli inizi del xvi secolo (Padua, 2003), contrasts the small number of friars sent to England with those dispatched to Germany.

    MARCH 2020 ® DAILY PRAYER FOR TODAY’S CATHOLIC Canticle of Zechariah (Benedictus) Luke 1:68-79 lessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; Bhe has come to his people and set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of his servant David. Through his holy prophets he promised of old that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship him without fear, holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life. You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give his people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

  • The Franciscan Heritage in England (C
    chapter 21 The Franciscan Heritage in England (c. 1240–c. 1350) Michael J.P. Robson St Francis of Assisi was one of the most striking and colourful saints in the Western Church. The son of a prosperous merchant in the Umbrian city of Assisi, he swapped his life of wealth and privilege for one of penance and evangelical poverty in imitation of Jesus Christ and his apostles.The ministry of the Son of God provided the template for Francis’s vocation and liberated him from the shackles of possessions and wealth. After spending about two years repairing churches in the environs of Assisi, the key to his vocation was found in the reading of the Gospel during Mass at the rural chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The text in which the apostles were dispatched to proclaim the Gospel (Matthew 10:9–10, Luke 9:2, Mark 6:7–13) challenged Francis to do the same. Obeying the Scriptures to the letter, he returned to the city of his birth where he called upon his former neighbours to change their lives by embracing penance for their failings. The citizens of Assisi recognized that Francis had undergone a radical change and that his former profligacy and affluence had given way to the apostolic life with a heightened concern for the guidance conveyed by the Scriptures. 1 St Francis and the English Province One inhabitant of Assisi, Bernard of Quintavalle, was so curious about Fran- cis’s new life that he invited him to supper. The unfolding of Francis’s excit- ing new vision of evangelical life inspired Bernard to commit his future to the direction of il poverello.

Mother: "Have you the courage to trust in God completely, that he will provide for all your needs, especially that he will give you the grace to live out faithfully what you desire to promise to him?" Sister: "I have, with the grace of God." 2 Mother: "You have put your hand to the plough and from this day forward there can be no looking back.

Therefore,starting at the bottom which is apparently the last supper, we find a pilgrimage from Holy Thursday to the resurrection at the top. The unknown painter used the Gospel of St. John from John 13 to the end.
