Ten thousand warriors armed on high, Embattled angels fill the sky: Michael the conquering chief appears, On high the glorious cross he rears. 3. He with salvation’s sign unfurl’d, The dragon down the abyss has hurled, The rebels with their chief are driv’n, Scathed by the lightning flash, from Heav’n. 4. Then faithful at the chieftain’s side Pursue the hateful king of pride, Till from the Lamb a heavenly crown Rewards us with unquenched renown. 5. To God the Father glory give, To God the Son through whom we live, The like, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Which ever was, shall ever be. 4 PROPER ATTIRE IN CHURCH Coming to church modestly and decently dressed is a concrete way to honor the dignity of God’s house, where Our Lord dwells in the tabernacle. Revealing or tight- fitting clothing does not meet the norms for Christian modesty. Gentlemen and boys are encouraged to wear slacks (no shorts, please) and a dress shirt. Ladies’ and girls’ dresses or skirts should fall below the knee (no exposed back or shoulders); the apostolic tradition of covering the head in church is very strongly encouraged. Thank you for expressing your love for God’s house and edifying your neighbor by your respectful demeanor in church.

    ANYONE WHO ADHERES TO THE DOCTRINES OF FR. FEENEY IS BARRED FROM RECEIVING THE SACRAMENTS IN THIS CHAPEL. In the 1940’s, Fr. Leonard Feeney S.J. promoted the heresy that there was no such thing as baptism of blood or baptism of desire. Fr. Feeney’s teaching is contrary to the universal ordinary magisterium of the Catholic Church. It was condemned in 1949 by the Most Holy Trinity Seminary Holy Office. All Catholics are bound under pain of mortal sin to give assent to the teachings of the Holy Office. A number of lay Catholics mistakenly adhere to this heresy, falsely thinking that it is the teaching of the Catholic Church. ! Pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism !

Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2015. xvi + 309 pp. Figures, tables, map, notes, bibliography, index. $120.00 U.S. (hb). ISBN 978-0-7190-9140-7; $34.95 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-1-5261-0654-4; $34.95 U.S. (eb). ISBN 978-1-7849-9189-0. Review by John J. Contreni, Purdue University Hincmar served as archbishop of Reims from 845 to his death in 882. Although little known outside the world of modern Carolingian scholarship, he was the ninth century’s Cardinal Richelieu, albeit a much more prolific author and, one suspects, a more committed churchman. He cut a giant swath through ninth-century ecclesiastical and political history, serving with (never under) four successive West Frankish monarchs. Born sometime during the first decade of the century during the reign of Emperor Charlemagne (768-814), he died fleeing Viking marauders with his church’s treasures in a changed world ruled by a congeries of small kings and fractious warlords. As Rachel Stone states in her meaty introduction to this collection, Hincmar’s impact was “surprisingly slight” (p. 27). We study his voluminous and varied written legacy (history, law, hagiography, poetry, correspondence, prescriptive documents of all sorts, opinions on all that mattered) primarily to gain insight into his vision of Carolingian society and to the changing world around him. This “life and works” collection aims to bring together between two covers recent work on many facets of the archbishop’s career to counter-balance the potential idiosyncrasy of a single-author study.

    Ruben Suykerbuyk - 9789004433106 Downloaded from Brill.com10/09/2021 07:17:43PM via free access Chapter 1 The Cult of Saint Leonard at Zoutleeuw Saint Leonard’s Altarpiece In July 1476, the churchwardens of Zoutleeuw gathered in a tavern to discuss commissioning an altarpiece dedicated to Saint Leonard. After their meeting, they placed an order in Brussels, and the work was finished in March 1478. The churchwardens again travelled to Brussels to settle the payment, and the retable was shipped to Zoutleeuw via Mechelen.1 The subject and the style, as well as the presence of Brussels quality marks on both the sculpture and the case of the oldest retable preserved in the Zoutleeuw church today (fig. 8), confirm that it is the very same one that was commissioned in 1476.2 Saint Leonard, the Christian hero of the altarpiece, lived in Merovingian France around the year 500. His hagiography identi- fies his parents as courtiers to King Clovis and states that he had been baptized and instructed in Christian faith by Saint Remigius, archbishop of Reims. Leonard quickly won Clovis’ goodwill, and was granted many favors by him. Not only was he allowed to free the pris- oners he visited, he was also offered a bishopric. However, preferring solitude and prayer he refused the honor and instead went to live in a forest near Limoges, where he preached and worked miracles. One of these wonders involved the pregnant queen, who had joined her husband on a hunting party in the woods and was suddenly seized by labor pains. Leonard prayed on her behalf for safe delivery.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard A Saintly and Victorious Symbol Did you hear the story about Clovis and his wife, Clothilde? Well, it seems that Clothilde was upset that her husband was getting into fights all the time. So she prayed a long time that he would find religion. When her prayers were answered and Clovis was baptized, she suggested that he change his family crest by substituting irises for three crapauds, or toads. No, this isn’t the usual Boudreaux and Thibodeaux joke that everyone has come to love. It is merely the beginning of a long series of origin stories for the fleur-de-lis, the enduring symbol of Bourbon France, Louisiana, the City of New Orleans and its beloved “Saints” football team (to name but a few). Actually the war-like King of the Franks, Clovis (c. 466-511 A.D.), was married to the sainted Clotilda (who long prayed for his conversion). One origin tale has Clovis leading his army into battle, and (being in imminent danger of defeat) he presented himself to his Burgundian wife’s God and emerged victorious. According to Gregory of Tours, it was this victory at Tolbiac (c. 496) that led to Clovis’ baptism at Rheims by Saint Remigius, after which he had each of the three toads on his shield’s coat-of-arms replaced by the stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower and lis means lily), or iris. As a religious symbol this design has represented the Holy Trinity and also the Virgin Mary (in connection with its iconic attribute of the archangel Gabriel in the Annunciation).

  • Lent | Holy Week | Easter #Lentpilgrim INTRODUCTION
    lent | holy week | easter #LentPilgrim INTRODUCTION his Lent, the Church of England is focusing on pilgrimage. In that spirit, we have created this virtual pilgrimage which T takes us on a journey from the Cathedral to the Cross, from Bristol to the bitter passion of Golgotha. It is not a straight path, as life is not straightforward, but twists and turns through the countries, and across the centuries. Accompanied by saints with links to places along the way, we will journey through Lent as we travel across Britain, France, Italy, and on into the Middle East. As we reach Rome, the pilgrimage retraces the journey of St Paul, in reverse, taking us from Rome, through Sicily, Malta, Rhodes, and beyond, until we arrive in Jerusalem, at the foot of the Cross. In addition to this devotional pilgrimage, from the back page of this booklet you will find details of services on Easter Day and in Holy Week, along with additional events and services such as the Lent Lunches, reading Mark right through, and Stations of the Cross. We pray that you will choose to travel with us for part or all of this journey.

  • A Scholar and His Saints. Examining the Art of Hagiographical Writing of Gerald of Wales
    UNIVERSITY The life of Giraldus Cambrensis / Gerald of Wales (c.1146 – c.1223) represents many PRESS facets of the Middle Ages: he was raised in a frontier society, he was educated in Paris, he worked for the kings of England and he unsuccessfully tried to climb the ecclesiastical ladder. He travelled widely, he met many high-ranking persons, and he wrote books in which he included more than one (amusing) anecdote about many persons. Up to this day, scholars have devoted a different degree of attention to Giraldus’ works: his ethnographical and historiographical works have been studied thoroughly, whereas his hagiographical writing has been left largely unexamined. This observation is quite surprising, because Giraldus’ talent as a hagiographer has been acknowledged long ago. Scholars have already examined Giraldus’ saints’ lives independently, but an interpretation of his whole hagiographical œuvre is still a desideratum. This thesis proposed to fill this gap by following two major research questions. First of all, this thesis examined the particular way in which Giraldus depicted each saint. Furthermore, it explained why Giraldus chose / preferred a certain depiction of a FAU Studien aus der Philosophischen Fakultät 17 particular saint. Overall, an examination of the hagiographical art of writing of Giraldus Cambrensis offered insight into the way hagiography was considered by authors and commissioners and how this art was practiced during the twelfth and thirteenth century.

  • Daily Saints - 6 November
    Daily Saints - 6 November Feast of Saint Leonard of Noblac Born: 19 May, Died: 559 AD, Venerated in Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglican Church, Attributes: Depicted as an Abbot holding chains, fetters or locks, or manacles He is the patron saint of women in labour, barrel makers, coopers, blacksmiths, captives, prisoners, childbirth, coal miners, coppersmiths, farmers, greengrocers, grocers, horses, locksmiths, miners, porters and against burglaries and against robberies or robbers. St Leonard of Noblac was born to the Frankish nobility. He was part of the court of the pagan King Clovis I. He was converted to Christianity by Saint Remigius, Bishop of Reims. During a certain invasion which they were losing, the Queen suggested to Leonard that he invoke the help of God to repel the invading army. He did, and the tide of battle turned, naming Clovis victorious. Saint Remigius, bishop of Rheims then used this miracle to convert the King, Leonard, and a thousand of their followers to Christianity. Following his conversion, St. Leonard refused the offer of a See from his grandfather, King Clovis I. He then began a life of austerity, sanctification, and preaching. His desire to know God grew so strong that he decided to enter the monastery at Orleans. His brother, Saint Lifiard, followed his example and, leaving the King's court, built a monastery at Meun, and lived there. It is said that while King Clovis was hunting nearby, Clothilde, his wife, went into labour. St Leonard was called to her bedside. He prayed with the King through the night and, through the intercession of his prayers, the Queen and the child were saved.

  • Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception
    Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Peoria, Illinois A Self-Guided Tour DISCOVER SAINT MARY’S Welcome to Peoria's Cathedral! In the middle ages, it was common for cathedrals to decorate their floors with elaborate labyrinths. These mazes in stone were very physical metaphors for the intentional wandering of the spiritual life. While there is no labyrinth in this cathedral, I invite you to wander nonetheless. This booklet is not designed to be an exhaustive historical guide or museum catalogue. This is not a theme park map to move you from point to point. Instead, we hope to provide a bit of history, a theological context, and an overview of this cathedral that is mother-church to Catholics across Central Illinois. I have been praying in this church both as a seminarian and a priest for over a decade. Over these past few years witnessing the grand restoration and parish life, I have especially been spending a lot of time here. I still never tire of wandering the church, talking to saints who are old friends, discovering new details in the windows, and gazing at the stars. I invite you to wander, to wonder, to pray. St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, pray for us! Fr. Alexander Millar Rector 2 HISTORY OF SAINT MARY CATHEDRAL In 1851, Bishop James VandeVelde of Chicago asked a Vincentian missionary, Father Alphonse Montouri, CM, to build a new church in Peoria, offering him $200 to carry out the plan. In a year, St. Mary’s Church (right) was built and was said to be one of the finest churches between Chicago and St.

  • Sanctoral Cycle in Other Cases Barely Relevant—That Is, Bearing No Special Relation to Saint Thérèse
    ings always linked up with the saint whose feast was being celebrated. In the other Mass I attended, the Epistle was Isaiah 66:12–14 (“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you”), and the Gospel was Matthew 18:1–4 (“Amen I say to you, unless you convert and become like little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven”). The abandonment of the inner unity of Scripture and The Loss of feastday is one of the greatest disasters of the new rite. It makes the prayers, the readings, and the sacrifice seem like Liturgical three different things, when they ought to be clearly woven together, as in the old rite, making one seamless garment. But there was something more, and worse: the proper Riches in the chants for her feastday, in the new Graduale Romanum, are, in some cases (like the Alleluia verse) irrelevant, and Sanctoral Cycle in other cases barely relevant—that is, bearing no special relation to Saint Thérèse. A comparison with the propers of the old rite for Thérèse’s feastday will make apparent by Peter A. Kwasniewski Saint Thérèse of Lisieux the magnitude of the loss suffered by the faithful when the ancient liturgy and its organic development were cast aside. ne year, a friend and I had the blessing of The Graduale Romanum (the Novus Ordo) offers the attending two celebrations of the Feast of following propers for Saint Thérèse: Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, for in the old calendar her feast is October 3rd, and in Introit (Ps. 30:7-8, 2) — I however have hoped in the Lord: O the new calendar, October 1st.
