Emmanuel Quagraine - (709) 730-3887 Confessions ½ hour before Mass Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and any other time upon request 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time November 4th, 2018 Saint Winnoc Winnoc’s name has many spellings-including Winnow, Winoc, and Wunnoc-a sign of the wide veneration of this 8th century abbot. A native of Wales or perhaps of Brittany in France, Winnoc arrived at the monastery of Saint Peter in Sithiu (present-day Saint-Omer, France) while on pilgrimage. The abbot, Saint Bertin, so impressed Winnoc and his three traveling companions that they decided to stay and join the 150 monks there. Among them, Winnoc "shone like a morning star," his first biographer tells us. The people of the area were of the Morini tribe, and one of their number, Heremar, a recent convert, had given Bertin some land for a new daughter house of the monastery. After a time, Bertin sent Winnoc and his companions to this place, Wormhout, at the northern tip of France. Winnoc directed the building of a church and then a hospital. He cared with his own hands for the sick poor who were brought there. Winnoc was conspicuous in his commitment to manual work. Into his old age, he continued to grind the corn that fed the monks and the poor who came to them. He was so old and feeble that some doubted that this was even possible. The naysayers came to his cell one day and spied on him through a crack in the wall. They saw the corn mill miraculously grinding of its own accord. (Saint Winnoc was one of the saint who advocated for workers and the unemployed.) Eternal Father, through the intercession of Saint Winnoc, let the labours of my hands provide for me, my dependents, and the poor. PLEASE NOTE: Fr. Emmanuel will be attending a conference from November 10th to 15th. Fr. William Hann will be covering the parish while he is away. LITURGY SCHEDULE Holy Hour before Mass 1st Friday of each month.

Grimbald of St. Bertin's PART from Asser, the most famous of the scholars who came Ato England in the reign of King Alfred was Grimbald of St. Bertin's.' The sources for his life are very meagre. On the Flemish side there are a few contemporary charters, the tenth- century Gesta monasterii S. Bertini of Folcuin, the fourteenth- century chronicle of Jolm of Ypres, and the information contained in the lections for the feast of St. Grimbald in the medieval breviary of St. Bertin's. On the English side Grimbald is mentioned in a number of contemporary sources-Asser's Life 0/ King AI/red, the preface to Alfred's translation of the Pastoral Care, a letter from Archbishop Fulk of Rheims to the king, the ANgw-Saxon Chronicle-and he naturally played a part in the traditions of the abbey of New Minster (Hyde), where his body was piously preserved. Only two medieval biographies of the saint have hitherto been known. One is the fourteenth-century summery of his life by John of Tynemouth which was incor- porated by Capgrave in his Nova legenda Angliae, and which is too late to be of any value. The other is a Vita S.

In this text, the God of Israel delivers a dual warning: first, the sins of the people call upon themselves divine wrath; second, it is incumbent upon God’s messenger to warn the people of their extreme danger, or else find their blood on his hands.

  • St. Bertin Catholic.Net
    St. Bertin Catholic.net Abbot of St. Omer, b. near Constance about 615; d. about 709. At an early age he entered the monastery of Luxeuil in France where, under the austere Rule of St. Columban, he prepared himself for his future missionary career. About the year 638 he set out, in company with two confrères, Mummolin and Ebertram, for the extreme northern part of France in order to assist his friend and kinsman, Bishop St. Omer, in the evangelization of the Morini. This country, now in the Department Pas-de-Calais, was then one vast marsh, studded here and there with hillocks and overgrown with seaweed and bulrushes. On one of these hillocks,Bertin and his companions built a small house whence they went out daily to preach the word of God among the natives, most of whom were still heathens. Gradually some converted heathens joined the little band of missionaries and a larger monastery had to be built. A tract of land called Sithiu had been donated to Omer by a converted nobleman named Adrowald. Omer now turned this whole tract over to the missionaries, who selected a suitable place on it for their new monastery. But the community grew so rapidly that in a short time this monastery also became too small and another was built where the city of St. Omer now stands. Shortly after Bertin's death it received the name of St. Bertin. Mummolin, perhaps because he was the oldest of the missionaries, was abbot of the two monasteries until he succeeded the deceased St.

    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.

  • A Handlist of Anglo-‐Latin Hagiography Through the Early Twelfth Century
    A HANDLIST OF ANGLO-LATIN HAGIOGRAPHY THROUGH THE EARLY TWELFTH CENTURY (FROM THEODORE OF TARSUS TO WILLIAM OF MALMESBURY) Thomas N. Hall The following list originated as a handout developed for a seminar on Anglo-Saxon Hagiography taught at the University of Notre Dame in Spring 2010. Its aim is to supply a provisional inventory, for classroom purposes, of all major known works of Latin hagiography (primarily saints’ Lives and miracle collections but also select sermons, hymns, and other texts that have saints as their subjects) written in Britain or by native British authors or by authors writing anywhere about British saints, from the time of Archbishop Theodore (602–690) to William of Malmesbury (ca. 1090–ca. 1143). The objective here is not to provide exhaustive bibliographical coverage for every single text and author but to offer a basic orientation to the corpus with the hope of stimulating further work. In most cases, only the best or most recent editions and translations are cited, along with the most important secondary scholarship as it has come to my attention, but scholarship published after 2010 is not included. Also not included are the Lives of eminent churchmen who were never canonized, e.g. Vita Gundulfi, ed. R. M. Thomson (Toronto, 1977). Fuller bibliography for many of these authors and texts can be found in BHL; Compendium Auctorum Latinorum Medii Aevi (500–1500), ed. Michael Lapidge, Gian Carlo Garfagnini, and Claudio Leonardi (Florence, 2003– ); Richard Sharpe’s Handlist of the Latin Writers of Great Britain and Ireland before 1540 (Turnhout, 1997); and in the case of Alcuin, Marie- Hélène Jullien and Françoise Perelman, Clavis Scriptorum Latinorum Medii Aevi.

  • AN INTRODUCTORY HISTORY of the ORTHODOX CHURCH in BRITAIN and IRELAND from Its Beginnings to the Eleventh Century
    1 AN INTRODUCTORY HISTORY OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND From its Beginnings to the Eleventh Century By Aidan Hart PART I (until 600 AD) “In all parts of Spain, among the diverse nations of the Gauls, in regions of the Britons beyond Roman sway but subjected to Christ... the name of Christ now reigns.” (Tertullian in “Adversus Judaeos” Ch. 7, circa 200 AD) Introduction There is a saying on Mount Athos that it is not where we live that saves us but the way we live. This is a play on the Greek words topos and tropos . One could add that neither is it when we live that saves us. And yet on reading the lives of saints who lived in other epochs and other lands it is easy to feel that it is impossible for us, in our circumstances, to approach their level of repentance and humility. This is one reason why many British and other English speakers are being attracted to the saints of the British Isles: although these saints lived over a millennium ago they lived on our own soil, or at least on that of our ancestors. It is as though these local saints are not only supporting us from heaven, but are also with us here, on the same soil where they once struggled in the spiritual life. How eagerly the saints of Britain must await our prayers that the land in which they so mightily laboured should again become a garden of virtue! It is difficult to be inspired by saints about whom we know little.

Lesley Anne Morden The aim of this dissertation is to examine the material damage the Northmen perpetrated in Northern Europe during the ninth century, and the effects of their raids on the economy of the Carolingian empire. The methodological approach which is taken involves the comparison of contemporary written accounts of the Northmen's destruction to archaeological evidence which either supports these accounts, or not. In the examination of the evidence, the destruction of buildings and settlements, and human losses are taken into account.

  • Crises of Cenobitism: Abbatial Leadership and Monastic Competition in Late-Eleventh-Century
    1 Crises of cenobitism: abbatial leadership and monastic competition in late-eleventh-century Flanders* Monastic institutions made a significant contribution to the emergence and consolidation of the mighty county of Flanders in the late ninth and early tenth centuries.1 Following the division of the Frankish empire in 843, more than a dozen pagi situated in the extreme north-eastern part of the Western Frankish kingdom became progressively integrated into the patrimony of one family, the first historically attested head of which was Count Baldwin I, also known as Baldwin Ironarm (861-879). Although formally he only controlled the pagi of Ghent and Waas, Baldwin forced himself into a privileged alliance with the Western Frankish dynasty by abducting and marrying Charles the Bald’s daughter Judith. As a result, in 864 he was entrusted by the king with the Ternois and Flanders, as well as the lay abbacy of Saint-Peter in Ghent. Baldwin’s position was not hereditary, and his son Baldwin II (879-918), who must be considered the real * This article was written in the context of the project ‘Monastic leadership in the post-charismatic age’, which is sponsored by the Research Foundation-Flanders.

  • Before They Were Vikings: Scandinavia and the Franks up to the Death of Louis the Pious
    Before They Were Vikings: Scandinavia and the Franks up to the death of Louis the Pious By Daniel Melleno A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Geoffrey Koziol, Chair Professor Maureen Miller Professor Maura Nolan Spring 2014 Copyright © 2014 Daniel Melleno All rights reserved Abstract Before They Were Vikings: Scandinavia and the Franks up to the death of Louis the Pious by Daniel Melleno Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Geoffrey Koziol, Chair Using textual and archaeological evidence to examine patterns of interaction and relationship between Francia and Scandinavia from 700-840 this dissertation demonstrates that the Viking attacks of the ninth century were not a sudden rupture of relations between Scandinavia and the wider world, nor a demonstration of unbridled violence. Rather, the attacks were part of an ongoing narrative of commerce, diplomacy, and strife between the Frankish Empire and its northern neighbors which began long before the Viking Age. Coin finds and excavations, accounts of merchants bearing luxury goods between trade sites, and stories of Frankish slaves taken from their homes connect Francia and Scandinavia across the North Sea. Chapter One of this dissertation focuses on these long lasting commercial links. At the heart of this trade lay Frisia, home of the emporium of Dorestad. Dorestad’s location as the cross roads between the North Sea and the heart of the Frankish Empire allowed Frankish, Frisian, and Scandinavian merchants to carry goods back and forth across the North Sea while at the same time facilitating the movement of ideas and cultural exchange.
