  • 2019 Pilgrimage Through the French Monasticism Movement
    2019 Pilgrimage through the French Monasticism Movement We invite you to pilgrimage through France to observe the French Monasticism movement, the lessons it holds for the church today and for your own personal spiritual growth. We will visit Mont St-Michel, stay in the monastery at Ligugé, spend a weekend immersed in the Taizé Community, and make stops in other historic and contemporary monastic settings. Our days and reflections will be shaped by both ancient and contemporary monastic practices. Itinerary Days 1 and 2 – Arrive Paris and visit Chartres We will begin our pilgrimage by traveling from the Paris airport to Chartres Cathedral where we will begin and dedicate our pilgrimage by walking the massive labyrinth laid in the floor of the nave just as pilgrims have done before us for nearly 800 years. We will spend the night in Chartres at The Hôtellerie Saint Yves, built on the site of an ancient monastery and less than 50 m from the cathedral. Day 3 and 4 – Mont-Saint-Michel and Ligugé In the morning, we will travel to the mystical islet of Mont-Saint-Michel, a granite outcrop rising sharply (to 256 feet) out of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay (between Brittany and Normandy). We will spend the day here and return on Sunday morning to worship as people have since the first Oratory was built in the 8th Century. After lunch on the mount we will head to Ligugé Monastery for the night. Day 5 – Vézelay Following the celebration of Lauds and breakfast at Ligugé, we will depart for the hilltop town of Vézelay.

This has led to their being recognised as valuable sources in contributing to a broader understanding of the medieval period and its expression of sanctity. This thesis looks specifically at health-related narratives from twelfth-century English saints’ lives written by someone who knew the saint or obtained eye-witness testimony of them.

This thesis is a comparative study of the eremitic life in England and France during the period when it had, arguably, reached the height of its popularity. While eremitism in both countries shared many common characteristics, there were also differing interpretations of how this ideal should be achieved.

McCray Date: December 1, 2014 Approved: Charles L. Campbell, Supervisor ________________________ G. Sujin Pak ________________________ Susan J. Dunlap ________________________ Richard Lischer An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology in the Divinity School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Donyelle C. McCray 2014 Abstract This dissertation consists of a homiletical reading of Julian of Norwich’s life and work. While Julian is often classified as a mystic or theologian, she may be better categorized as a preacher in light of contemporary homiletical theory. Julian becomes decipherable as a preacher on a performative level when one attends to the apostolic dimensions of her anchoritic vocation and the particular ways John the Baptist serves as a model for medieval English anchoriticism. Her writings clearly fit within the ambit of the English medieval sermon genre, but censorship likely reduced her audience and contributed to her illegibility as a preacher. Julian displays proclamatory intent through direct statements and by aligning herself with celebrated preachers like Saint Cecelia, Mary Magdalene, and the Apostle Paul.

Foy in Conques - video on docuwat.ch The great abbey of Cluny in Burgundy, France, was founded in 910. The abbey church at Cluny was at 525 feet long, the largest church in Christendom. Cluny prospered under the leadership of a succession of able abbots, chief among them St. Odo (926-44), St. Odilo (994-1049), and Peter the Venerable (1122-57). Numerous other monasteries were founded which were ruled directly from Cluny, so that this part of the Benedictine Order became almost an independent European power. At one time these dependent monasteries and convents numbered nearly a thousand. In the turbulent world of the eleventh and twelfth centuries Cluny was thus both an oasis of order and a political and economic focus. The Abbey was notable for its adherence to the Rule of St. Benedict, a book of precepts written by St. Benedict of Nursia (c. 480-547) for monks living communally under the authority of an abbot. As such it became acknowledged as the leader of western monasticism.

    Passions of the Pope: Analysing emotional rhetoric in Pope Gregory VII’s letters Kieryn Mascarenhas 2020 Illustration of Pope Gregory VII from Paul of Bernried’s Vita Gregorii VII (c. 1128), Heiligenkreuz Abbey, Austria A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA (Hons) in History, University of Sydney ABSTRACT In recent years, emotions have become a popular lens for historical analysis. Building on existing scholarship, this thesis explores the emotions of Pope Gregory VII, an eleventh- century pope notable for his reform efforts and role in the Investiture Controversy. Focusing on Gregory’s papal letters, this study will analyse the displays of three key emotions: anger, love, and sorrow, to determine how and why Gregory used these displays to achieve his political and religious objectives. Gregory wielded emotional rhetoric in his papal letters to solidify his papal authority, construct and maintain key relationships, and garner support for his reform agenda. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to Dr Hélène Sirantoine and Dr John Gagné. I could not have asked for better supervisors. I would like to thank them both for all their insightful recommendations and feedback, as well as their tremendous help in allaying the worst of my anxieties. I would also like to express my appreciation of the help and direction given to me in the wake of my prospectus by the Honours programme coordinator, Dr Andres Rodriguez. I want to thank my family for their patience and encouragement throughout this past year. My gratitude is also due to all the friends that I’ve grumbled about this project to.
