  • The Seventh Sunday of Easter (C) 2Nd June
    THE SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER (C) 2ND JUNE 2019 ‘Father, may they be one in us as you are in me and I am in you, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me’ (John 17, 21). S THE POLITICAL CRISIS DEEPENS in this country, our focus must be upon Our Saviour, Christ A the Lord. Our prayers are powerful, and we must respond to the anxiety and confusion by entrusting ourselves and our society to God’s merciful love. At the same time, we must uphold and respect the rule of law. Even if governments totter and fall, even if the media jubilantly fill our hearts with despondency, we have the Holy Spirit to impart to the fearful and confused. The divisions are clear enough, but the issues are so incomprehensible that the experts, especially the politicians, know not what they are. Furthermore, the crisis in other countries also gives ground for alarm. The search for security leads inevitably to extremes of right and left. We are now faced with an opportunity and a moment of grace. We are not powerless or hopeless or gloomy for the spirit of God fills all the earth, ‘and we have the mind of Christ.’ Dom Michael Clothier The results of the recent MEP elections show a country that is deeply divided within itself. Even the break-up of the United Kingdom seems once again to be a possibility. The divisions within the two traditional major parties resemble the cracquelure in an Old Master painting in need of urgent restoration.

    no se pierda articulos en páginas 2, 4, 5 NewsletteHr of SaintuCharlmes Borroimelo Ciatholiac Chursch ~ June 2018 Infinity War Spoiler Alert: Jesus rolls the stone away and saves us from Death. I love superheroes. Based upon the abundance of superhero movies produced, I can assume three out of five people in the world do too. (If you are one of the two in your pew who does not, I appreciate your fortitude before the Hollywood blockbuster gauntlet.) But, I love superhero movies. The mindless preposterousness of the plot is part of the appeal; however, as I write this, it is three days before the release of the latest Marvel production and I cannot overlook that there is something profound at work in this one. The elements of its composition reveal the secular longing for divine salvation. The title: Infinity War The plot: “Thanos arrives on Earth to collect the Infinity Stones for a gauntlet that will allow him to bend reality to his will” (a quotation ripped from Wikipedia). The antagonist: Thanos. A name derived from Thanatos the Greek mythological personification of death The protagonists: Pretty much every superhero that Marvel has created “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable In other words, Death arrives on Earth to collect our sense of the infinite, can we use for it? which will allow him to bend reality to his will. A Marvel is called upon to It is like a mustard seed that, stop Death and reclaim for us infinity, that sense of forever and ever.

Angry crowds shouted outside the prison where she was held, “Death to the western imperialists.” One night, the nun woke up with a start, believing she had heard a guard at the door of her cell; she feared it was time for her execution. But, it turned out no one was there. She thought to herself, “Perhaps it was the Holy Spirit, reminding me that He was with me. I call upon His peace and consolation while in prison.” This leads us to ask, “Where in my life, at this moment in time, do I need the peace and consolation of the Holy Spirit?” Jesus sends the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, into our world. On our part, we just have to accept Him in our lives. Familiaris Consortio (cont.) The Situation of the Family in the World Today #6. Worthy of our attention also is the fact that in the countries of the so-called Third World, families often lack both the means necessary for survival, such as food, work, housing, and medicine and the most elementary freedoms. In the richer countries, on the contrary, excessive prosperity and the consumer mentality, paradoxically joined to a certain anguish and uncertainty about the future, deprive married couples of the generosity and courage needed for raising up new human life: thus, human life is often perceived not as a blessing, but as a danger from which to defend oneself.

  • Hans-Jürgen Kaiser
    Hans-Jürgen Kaiser Hans-Jürgen Kaiser studied Music Education at the Heidelberg-Mannheim College of Music (Musikhochschule Heidelberg-Mannheim), and Catholic Church Music at the University of Mainz (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz) where he graduated with distinction. He also completed a course of study as performing organist at the Saarland College of Music (Musikhochschule des Saarlandes). In 1989, he was appointed Cathedral Organist in Fulda. In this capacity he is responsible for the organs and bells in the Diocese of Fulda and serves as the artistic director of organ concerts at Fulda Cathedral. Since 1990 he has been teaching improvisation and liturgical organ playing at the University of Mainz, where he was appointed Professor of Organ Improvisation in 1995. After intensive studies of French and German-Romantic organ music, and of the organ works of JS Bach and O Messiaen, he extended his repertoire into Early music, motivated by his interest in historical organs. His concert programs include improvisation, both historical styles and contemporary improvisation and jazz. He has recorded more than 20 CDs (Liszt/Reger/Bach/Eben) at important modern organs but also at historical instruments (Schwerin Cathedral, Fritzlar Cathedral, historical organs in Hesse). He performs frequently at concerts in Germany and internationally, and he teaches master classes in organ improvisation. From 2004 – 2012 he was the chairman of the Conference of Directors of Training Institutions for Catholic Church Music in Germany (Konferenz der Leiterinnen und Leiter der Ausbildungsstätten für katholische Kirchenmusik in Deutschland). He is one of the two editors-in-chief of the ecumenical standard textbook for church music in German speaking countries, Basiswissen Kirchenmusik (Carus-Verlag, 2009) which in 2010 was awarded the prize Best Edition by the Association of German Music Publishers (Deutscher Musikverleger- Verband).

Pilgrims and Pilgrimages in the Critique of Enlightenment – A Case Study. History Research . Vol. 7, No. 1, 2019, pp. 17-26. doi: 10.11648/j.history.20190701.13 Received : March 17, 2019; Accepted : August 12, 2019; Published : September 5, 2019 Abstract: The exploration of pilgrimage, of pilgrims’ distances, destinations and christian worship have for a long time been studied by historians, theologians and ethnologists. Modern authors and recent books say, pilgrimage is a field for permanent investigation. Illustrated calendars on pilgrimage, printed in the catholic “Weltbild” Publishing House, promise almost everything for good to motivate believers to go on pilgrimage. Research in pilgrimage concentrated on early periods and high times of worshipping and Christianity. The criticism of the 18 th and 19 th century was only sparely reflected. In contrast to the mainstream we concentrate on this critical period. The reason why pilgrims have been criticized since that time has to do with the contemporary legislation, the benevolent “ Policey ”. Courts accused people of being lazy, work-shy and inward-looking. Quarrels turned around beer drinkers and alehouses next to churches and cemeteries. Last but not least employers and entrepreneurs said, there is a harmful overflow of church festivals und pilgrim-worshippings.
