Let us pray. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of your faithful, grant that by that same Holy Spirit, we may be truly wise, and ever rejoice in your consolation, Through Christ our Lord. Amen. This traditional prayer to the Holy Spirit might be one we remember from childhood, or might be entirely new to us. Whichever, today is the best time of the year to renew our relationship with God the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Blessed Trinity. If we’re not so used to praying to the Holy Spirit perhaps now is the time? The Holy Spirit, promised to us by Jesus on the day of his Ascension, is the power of God at work in the world, bring all God’s purposes to their completion through our co-operation. Whenever we feel lonely, or frightened, or dejected we can pray to the Holy Spirit to once again fill our hearts, our lives and our souls with that power which was given to us at our baptism and enflamed within us at our confirmation.

Vatican Synod 2018 – Young people’s views wanted The Catholic Church in England and Wales is consulting with young people and those who regularly engage with them in preparation for a Synod hosted by Pope Francis in October 2018. The theme of this Synod is “Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment.” The Mega Youth Poll for young people has already been launched, and if you’re aged between 13 – 29 the Bishops want to hear your views. Please take the survey (5 – 10 minutes only) at: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/parish-youth-poll A trailer is available at: youtube.com/watch?v=s9Jv4pbU7sU&feature=youtu.be Ramadan : Friday 26th May until Saturday 24th June In light of the recent attack in Manchester, and the negative publicity which can so easily fall on all Muslims, the bishops of England and Wales ask us to pray in solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters at this time, who around the world fast throughout their holy month of Ramadan.

The defendants, who were the managers and governors of the schools affected, submitted the proposals to the Secretary of State in accordance with s 13(2) a of the Education Act 1944 and took steps to give the requisite public notice under s 13(3) b of the 1944 Act, as amended by the Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1953, s 16, in accordance with the requirements of reg 2 c of the County and Voluntary Schools (Notices) Regulations 1968, by publishing notices in a newspaper circulating in the area served by the schools, by posting it in conspicuous places within that area and by posting it at or near the main entrance to the schools in question.

  • Catholic Martyrs of Gloucestershire by Michael Bergin and Margaret and Patrick Gethen
    Catholic Martyrs of Gloucestershire by Michael Bergin and Margaret and Patrick Gethen St Peter's Church, Gloucester Acknowledgements In November 1987, to commemorate the beatification of five Gloucestershire Catholic martyrs, the Gloucestershire Catholic History Society published a booklet written by Patrick and Margaret Gethen. This recounted what is known of Blessed Richard Sargeant, John Sandys, Stephen Rowsham, William Lampley and Henry Webley. The booklet was republished in 2005. Journal No 53 of the Gloucestershire Catholic History Society, published in October 2010, reproduced the original 1987 booklet with the addition of articles by Michael Bergen on Blessed Thomas Alfield and the Venerable Thomas Webley. Thank you to Debbie Cottam who in 2013 re-typed the original text. 1 Statutes under which the martyrs were charged The Statute of Treasons of 1351 (Edward III Stat.5, Cap.2) The basic treason law of England. Compassing or attempting the death of the King, or his heirs, is high treason according to this law. Act to retain the Queen’s Majesty’s subject in due obedience (23 Eliz. I.

Act against Jesuits, seminary priests and other such like disobedient persons (27 Eliz. I. Cap.2 1585) This act made it high treason for a Catholic priest ordained abroad to come into or remain in the realm after 24th June 1559. It made it felony for anyone to harbour or assist him. The sentence for a priest was that he should be hanged, drawn and quartered, for a layman that he should be hanged.

    INDIANS, AFRICANS, AND BRITISH EXPANSION IN THE SOUTHEASTERN BORDERLANDS: 1670-1763 By TIMOTHY DAVID FRITZ A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 © 2014 Timothy David Fritz To my parents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Over the course of the past decade numerous institutions and individuals have contributed the resources necessary for me to conduct the research contained in this dissertation. At the University of Florida, I have benefitted from the generous financial support of the History Graduate Society and the Graduate School. Specifically, I benefitted immeasurably from the Office of Minority and Graduate Programs’ Delores Auzenne Dissertation Award and the Graduate School’s Dissertation Research Award. A great number of librarians and archivists have also provided research support, helpful suggestions, and their expertise on the colonial southeast. I would first like to thank Bernard Powers, Sherman Pyatt, and Marvin Dulaney, who first stimulated by interest in lowcountry culture as a graduate student at the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston. Numerous scholars at various levels in my academic career have provided timely input that provided my research with direction and purpose. Chris Boucher, my thesis director at the College of Charleston, and Scott Poole, who served as the program director at the time of my graduation, helped me to apply my research interests to the source bases available and provided valuable feedback as members of my M.A. thesis committee. I would like to thank Ida Altman, Jessica Harland-Jacobs, James Davidson, and Jim Cusick for serving on my dissertation committee at the University of Florida and offering their own varying perspectives on my topic.

  • Reading Oprah 
    Chapter 1 Reading Oprah o, three women walk into a bookstore. An Oprah’s Book Club Sdisplay dominates the space just to the right of the entrance. The first woman glances at it dismissively and moves past it to the New Fiction section where she spends an hour leafing through hard- covers before heading for the corner where they keep Literature. The second woman, steering toward New Paperbacks, pauses at the Oprah books to read the back covers of a novel or two. She picks one up and carries it with her as she wanders through the bookstore. The third woman looks relieved to find the Oprah books right there as she walks in. She grabs the latest selection and turns straight toward the cash register.1 As I have talked with many readers about Oprah’s Book Club since 1998, I have found these responses typical. The first woman, a careful and confident reader, well educated and well read, regards Oprah books as supermarket fiction. She is less likely to pick up a novel if it’s an Oprah’s Book Club selection, even if it’s written by a respected author she might otherwise read—Joyce Carol Oates or Barbara Kingsolver, for example. The second woman, also a good reader, though not so confi- dent a critic, is a little overwhelmed by all the choices in today’s mega- bookstores. She willingly takes recommendations from friends, book reviewers in her favorite magazines, or online discussions. She trusts Oprah’s choices, generally, though she sometimes finds the novels de- pressing.
