  • Part I: the Kandyan Kings and Cosmopolitan Discourse
    THE MANY FACES OF THE KANDYAN KINGDOM, 1591-1765: LESSONS FOR OUR TIME?1 PART I: THE KANDYAN KINGS AND COSMOPOLITAN DISCOURSE Introduction This paper discusses the reign of Vimaladharmasūriya, the first consecrated king of Kandy (1591-1604) and his successors during whose reigns the Kandyan kingdom became a place that provided a home for diverse cultures and communities. Prior to this Kandy was ruled by three local kings, the first being Senāsammata Vikramabāhu (c. 1469-1511). Senāsammata means elected by the sēna or army or perhaps by members of the aristocratic class known as banḍ āras (“lords).” Vikramabāhu tried to assert his independence from the sovereign kings of Kōṭṭe. That kingdom commenced with Bhūvanekabāhu V (1371-1408) and ended with Bhūvanekabāhu VII (1521-51) and his grandson Dharmapāla (1551- 1597), the first Catholic sovereign. Vikramabāhu was badly defeated and had to pay a large tribute. After Dharmapāla died Kōṭṭe became part of Portugal which now had control over much of Jaffna in the north and the Maritime provinces in the south. The Portuguese were a presence in Kōṭṭe from 1506 and had the support of Bhūvanekabāhu VII but not his brother Māyādunne, the ruler of Sītāvaka 1 who was a foe of the Portuguese. His intrepid son Rājasinha I (1581-1593) at one time nearly brought about the whole kingdom of Kōṭṭe and much of Kandy under his rule. As for the fortunes of Kandy Vikramabāhu was followed by his son Jayavīra Banḍ āra (1511- 1552) during whose time Catholic friars became a presence in the court.2 In order to please the Portuguese and the king of Kōṭṭe he became a nominal Catholic until he was deposed and exiled by his son Karalliyadde Banḍ āra (1552-1582) who became a devoted Catholic and publicly embraced Catholicism around 1562-1564.

  • A Short Historical Review by Fr. Lawrence Hyde
    LAURENCE HYDE O.S.B. A SHORT HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE SYLVESTRINE MONKS IN CEYLON from 1845 to 1920 FOREWORD Several years ago during a visit to the Benedictine Abbey of New Norcia, Western Australia, a monk who had visited Sri Lanka in 1967, gave me as a gift a photocopy of a manuscript in his own possession. The title of the manuscript is «Short Historical Review of the Sylvestrine Monks in Ceylon from 1845 to 1920». It was an essay of a then-young Sylvestrine monk, Laurence Hyde, written in 1920 (1). In the Introduction (Chapter I) he had explained the reasons for his essay. «In undertaking to compile this short brochure on the work of the Benedictine Monks of the Sylvestrine Congregation in Ceylon I have been actuated by two motives - the first, to commit in writing what must very soon pass out of the realm of actual tradition and become only a memory of the past, second, to encourage the young gene-rations of my brethren to emulate the great deeds of their fathers». When Hyde wrote his Historical Review in 1920, the chief players mentioned in this essay had died: Mgr. Bonjean had passed away 18 years earlier, in 1902, and Mgr. Pagnani ten years later, in 1911. Yet, the memories of the 1880s were still a painful reminiscence for some of the surviving missionaries such as the Sylvestrine Augustine Pancrazi and the secular priest Pius Fernando, who had through lived the vicissitudes of the Colombo vicariate at that time. Hyde continued his Historical Review: «The older generation of missionaries must in due course of nature succumb to the inevitable fate that awaits all human kind, and the older generation of Christians, who have been witnesses of their labours for the salvation of souls are fast dying out.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC JOURNEY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO SRI LANKA AND THE PHILIPPINES (12-19 JANUARY 2015) HOLY MASS AND CANONIZATION OF BLESSED JOSEPH VAZ HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS Galle Face Green, Colombo Wednesday, 14 January 2015 [Multimedia] “All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God” (Is 52:10) This is the magnificent prophecy which we heard in today’s first reading. Isaiah foretells the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the ends of the earth. This prophecy has a special meaning for us, as we celebrate the canonization of a great missionary of the Gospel, Saint Joseph Vaz. Like countless other missionaries in the history of the Church, he responded to the Risen Lord’s command to make disciples of every nation (cf. Mt 28:19). By his words, but more importantly, by the example of his life, he led the people of this country to the faith which gives us “an inheritance among all God’s holy ones” (cf. Acts 20:32). In Saint Joseph we see a powerful sign of God’s goodness and love for the people of Sri Lanka. But we also see in him a challenge to persevere in the paths of the Gospel, to grow in holiness ourselves, and to testify to the Gospel message of reconciliation to which he dedicated his life. A priest of the Oratory in his native Goa, Saint Joseph Vaz came to this country inspired by missionary zeal and a great love of its people.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The two important temples at Munnesvaram, on the west coast of Sri Lanka, are Hindu and are run by Tamil priests. Their patronage is largely Sinhalese Buddhist. They are the context for an examination of the relations between Hinduism and Buddhism in modern Sri Lanka in a period of violent ethnic tension between Tamils and Sinhalese. The thesis falls in two parts. The first deals with the history of the temples in the colonial and post-colonial eras, the history of religious difference, and with a social analysis of the two groups of priests and of the worshippers. This establishes grounds for a consideration of current anthropological debates on hierarchy and on historicity.

  • The Relevance of Blessed Joseph Vaz to the Evangelization of Asia Today
    The relevance of Blessed Joseph Vaz to the evangelization of Asia today Sua Eccellenza Monsignor Henry D'Souza Arcivescovo di Calcutta (Roma, Congresso Generale 2000) The reunion of Oratorians in Rome is a beautiful occasion to recall Bd. Joseph Vaz, himself an Oratorian of the 17th century. I would like to talk about this great saint became of the very special missionary thrust for which his life and work offer inspiration. Bd. Joseph Vaz was born in Goa and because an priest in Goa. He however volunteered to be a missionary in the island of Sri Lanka, then known as Ceylon. The island was under severe religious persecution from the Dutch who at that time ruled the country. Catholic priests were forbidden to preach; it would mean imprisonment and even death if they were caught. Bd. Joseph Vaz went to Ceylon disguised as a laborer. He walked the rural paths through the tea-gardens, searching for Catholics, ministering to their needs, instructing them in the faith, regularizing their marriages, baptizing their children, and celebrating Holy Mass in their homes and villages. He was a veritable apostle for the Sri Lanken Church and he renewed the faith which had been badly affected by the persecution. He also converted over 30.000 persons who revered him and embraced the faith. It was in 1693 that the Bd. Joseph Vaz worked a miracle of rain during a drought and the King of Kandy offered him protection and freedom to preach the Gospel in the Kingdom of Kandy. He used the missionary method of inculturation.

  • Statue of Our Lady of Miracles, Jaffna Patao
    Statue of Our Lady of Miracles, Jaffna patao The Statue of Our Lady of Miracles, Jaffna patão is a wooden statue, now preserved in the church of São Pedro, in Bainguinim, Goa,India. The historical origin of the devotion to our Lady of Miracles Jaffnapatão In 1614, Friar Francisco de S. Antonio who was the Rector of Our Lady of Victory, Jaffnapatao (Nossa Senhora da Vitória, Jafanapatão) wanted a statue for the church altar. The friar asked a local sculptor named Annacutti to carve a statue from a piece of wood he had brought with him from Cochin. The statue of the Virgin Mary, holding her infant son in her arms while being carved already become a miraculous statue. People went to Annacutti's house to pray before the statue and many reported to have been cured. Even those prayed holding the wood shavings got cured through the intercession of Virgin Mary. Some who showed disrespect to the statue experienced the wrath of God. Annacutti witnessed these miracles was both amazed and frightened and dared not to proceed with the work and requested the friar to take the unfinished statue to the church. On July 24, 1614, the statue was taken in a public procession from the sculptor’s house to the Church and as the procession passed through the streets where the royal palaces were located, the King and the royal family appeared to view the procession. The statue was placed on an altar in the middle of the church. Due to numerous miracles attributed to the statue; she was called Our Lady of Miracles (ꯁ鏁மை ைாதா / Puthumai Matha), Jaffnapatao.
