The Holy Father will fly to Scotland and will be received by Her Majesty The Queen. He will also cele- brate a public Mass in Glasgow. In England, among other events, His Holiness will make a speech to British civil society at Westminster Hall, meet with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and join with him and other leaders of Christian traditions in Evening prayer at Westminster Abbey, celebrate Mass at Westminster Cathedral and lead a prayer vigil including Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and beatify Cardinal John Henry Newman during a Mass in Cofton Park in Birmingham – adjacent, fitting- ly, to Rednal, where Cardinal Newman was buried. p1-4-A-Prayer of Preparation revised FF.qxp 16/07/10 16:11 Page 4 4 PAPAL V ISIT This booklet contains the texts of the times of public prayer that Pope Benedict will take part in, along with a series of brief arti- cles which help explain some- thing of the context of the prayer and other events of the Papal visit. It also includes texts for the Liturgy of the Church (Morning and Evening prayer, and the Mass) for some days before and after the Papal Visit. Those attending any of the Papal liturgies are urged to take this booklet with them. It is intended to serve as their participation aid. p5-9-forewords and broadcastv2.qxp 20/07/10 9:58 Page 5 F OREWORDS 5 fter many months of anticipation, it is with great joy that we now welcome the Holy Father Pope A Benedict XVI to our shores. In the course of a busy programme involving State occasions and significant pub- lic events, we have been looking forward above all to those opportunities when we will gather together at times of prayer with the Successor of St. Peter who was taught to pray by our Blessed Lord himself and who through Pope Benedict continues to “confirm his brethren in the faith”. This missal will help us to pray with the Pope: to follow the prayers of the Mass for the Feast of St. Ninian in Glas- gow: Ninian who also came from Rome, to bring the Gospel more than fifteen hundred years ago to the Picts and Britons. We will use this missal to focus our hearts and minds on the celebration of Mass in Westminster Cathedral and during the Mass of Beatification of Cardi- nal John Henry Newman in Birmingham. The other opportunities for prayer at Twickenham and Hyde Park are also set out for us here. Whether we are able to be personally present or will be following events on television, radio or over the internet, we all have the opportunity to join our Holy Father the Pope on his pilgrimage to our countries, to accompany him with our prayers and to bear witness with him to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As he spends these days among us we recall and repeat the prayer he made as he embarked upon his ministry as Pope: “Lord, remember your promise. Grant that we may be one shepherd and one flock! Do not allow your net to be torn and help us to be servants of unity!” (24 April 2005). +Cardinal Keith Patrick O’Brien Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh p5-9-forewords and broadcastv2.qxp 20/07/10 9:58 Page 6 6 F OREWORDS he Beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman is a great highlight of the Papal Visit. Indeed, in many T ways it is a central focus of all our prayer and cel- ebrations, for John Henry Newman represents so many aspects of our mission to proclaim the faith in the United Kingdom today. This missal will help us all to be united with Pope Bene- dict throughout his Visit. It enables us to pray with him at every moment of public prayer. It can inspire us to pray with and for him at other moments of these momentous days, too. The Mass of the Beatification will hold before us, for our inspiration and encouragement, the figure of Cardinal Newman. His life was rich and fruitful in so many ways. I like to think of him as an example and encouragement above all for all priests, especially parish priests. For thirty years Fr Newman was a parish priest in Birm- ingham. Indeed, throughout his life his pastoral concern for those in his care was outstanding. As a parish priest he was much loved, precisely because of his regular vis- iting of the sick and the imprisoned, his care for the poor and the hungry, his support for his parishioners in their work-place, his availability for Confession and counsel. His Beatification highlights yet again the importance of the role and service of the priest in our Catholic life. I hope it inspires many young men to consider the vocation to the priesthood. At the time of the Mass of Beatification, most of our priests will be at their duties in their parishes. That is right and proper. I invite all who are present at this Mass to remem- ber their priests in a very special way. They will be in the forefront of my prayers! +Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster p5-9-forewords and broadcastv2.qxp 20/07/10 9:58 Page 7 F OREWORDS 7 he Prime Minister and I are delighted that His Holi- ness Pope Benedict XVI will visit the United King- T dom from the 16th to the 19th of September, following an invitation by Her Majesty The Queen. This is the first official Papal Visit to the UK – Pope John Paul II’s visit in 1982 was purely pastoral. It is a privilege to welcome the Pope, as the head of a Church with so many members in the United Kingdom, and I am very pleased that during his visit the Pope will be celebrating the life of one of the greatest Englishmen of the Nineteenth Century, Cardinal John Henry Newman. This visit will have a special meaning for all Catholics, and I hope that all who wish to do so are able to participate in the visit, directly or through television and internet cov- erage. But the visit also has an important official angle. The UK Government are international partners of the Catholic Church world wide, dealing with issues such as poverty, education, health and climate change. This visit will be a chance to take that co-operation further. The Govern- ment also sees itself as a partner with all faith groups in the UK including the Catholic Church in building stronger and more resilient communities, and dealing with issues of solidarity and social justice. This visit will help us to make that partnership closer and stronger. We are determined in Government to do all we can to make the visit a success. I hope it will be a memorable and joyful experience for all those involved. Lord Patten of Barnes p5-9-forewords and broadcastv2.qxp 20/07/10 9:58 Page 8 8 F OREWORDS wenty eight years ago, Pope John Paul II made his historic visit to Britain, a visit that included an unfor- T gettable act of worship at Canterbury Cathedral in company with my predecessor Archbishop Robert Runcie. It marked a great change in relations between the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. Its effects are still making themselves felt. The warmth of our present friendship, shown in the reg- ular meetings of the bishops of both our communions, and in many local instances, testifies to the continuing work of the Holy Spirit in our ecumenical endeavours. We have learned more and more what it means to share God’s mission in Jesus Christ in these islands, recognising that we have the same passion for Jesus Christ to be made known in the lives of faithful and joyful communities gath- ered around the Lord’s Table. As we now warmly welcome Pope Benedict XVI, we give thanks for his courageous and consistent witness to the abiding and central truths of the faith in a climate so often marked by indifference and ignorance about Christian truth. Our hope and prayer is that this visit may inspire us to greater energy and imagination in that shared mission. Pope John Paul wrote in his encyclical Ut unum sint (‘May they all be one’) in 1995 of how the papal office could and should be a ministry of unity in the gospel that would serve all Christians.

  • Sailing in Company
    SAILING IN COMPANY People played a vital role in Newman's spiritual life. He loved them, appreciated them and needed them. He needed human ties and the circle of friends. When the bond with the University and the Church was torn asunder, he retired to Littlemore in company with some of his friends. One of the major reasons for the heartaches he experienced at the collapse of the Oxford Movement was that great loss of his closest friends and companions in the Anglican Church. Hence his valedictory sermon to Oxford, to the Church of England and to his Anglican friends, is soaked in pathetic passion and in the pathetic tenderness of his ^ fever-1 roubled' heart'. His longing to hold on to his old and valued friends, in spite of the theological differences, is clearly expressed even in the title of the sermon The Parting of Friends. The pensiveness of tone which pervades this sermon reveals the pain which the poet experiences at the loss of such human ties. In his solemn lament there resides an almost painful emotional tension. Such is the closing of the sermon: And, 0 my brethren, 0 kind and affectionate hearts, 0 loving friends,should you know anyone whose lot it has been, by writing or by word of mouth, in some degree to help you thus to act; if he has ever told you what he knew about yourself, or what you did not know; has read to you your wants or feelings, and comforted you by the very reading; has made you feel that there was a higher life thanthis daily one, and a brighter world than that you see; or encouraged you, or sobered you, or opened a way to the inquiring, or soothed the perplexed; if what he has 116 said or done has ever made you take interest in him, and feel well inclined towards him; remember such a one in time to come, though you hear him not, and pray for him, that in all things, he may know God's 2 will and at all times he may be ready to fulfil itr'' The style and sound of these words are slow, weary, faltering, sighing, rising only to fall again in weakness, doubt and blank despair.

  • Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
    CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity.

  • The Early Career of Bishop Charles Walmsley Osb Dd Frs 1722-97
    © English Benedictine Congregation History Commission – Symposium 1997 THE EARLY CAREER OF BISHOP CHARLES WALMSLEY OSB DD FRS 1722-97 Dom Geoffrey Scott HE ENGLISH BENEDICTINE CHARLES WALMESLEY, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, died stone deaf on November 25th 1797, aged 75. Since 1997 marks the Tbi-centenary of his death, this is a tribute to a monk who was a mathematician and astronomer of international renown, for many years the doyen of the English Vicars Apostolic, and the father of the American hierarchy, through his consecration of Bishop John Carroll in 1790. No comprehensive biography of Walmesley has ever been attempted, for aspiring biographers have been daunted by the assertion that whilst he was at Wardour Castle, all his library, archives and papers went up in flames when the chapel and house at Bath were fired by the mob during the Gordon Riots in 1780. Because of his major involvement in the conflict between the Catholic Committee and some of the Vicars Apostolic in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, his later career has received much attention from scholars. His contribution to that conflict will not, therefore, be addressed here. What follows is an attempt to gather together what singed biographical fragments remain of those earlier and perhaps happier years of a man whom public opinion regarded in his mature years as the rising hope of stern unbending English Catholic conservatism [1].1 F A M I L Y Charles Walmesley was born at Westwood Hall on the outskirts of Wigan, Lancashire, on 13 January 1722, the seventh son, and youngest but one, of twelve children, of the wealthy Lancashire Catholic squire and Wigan alderman, John Walmesley and his wife, Mary Greaves.
