St Chavara and the Mystic St Euphrasia
Vol. 11, 2 (2015) Pages: 237-254 ST CHAVARA AND THE MYSTIC ST EUPHRASIA Thomas Kadankavil CMI Abstract: The author gives an overview of the lives of the twin Carmelite saints Chavara and Euphrasia and their mysticism. After a short life sketch of Euphrasia in the backdrop of the church in shambles, the author moves on to sketch the life of Euphrasia in the convent. She is presented both as a devotee and a disciple of Chavara. Although he did not directly give any instruction for the spiritual formation of Euphrasia, yet, she was transformed in the school of Chavara, in which she rose to the heights of mystical experiences including diabolic experiences and intense temptations. The author then slides into the story of Chavara and his relationship with Leopold, the influence St Teresa of Avila had on Chavara. The many mystical experiences of Euphrasia had its roots in Chavara who was influenced by Teresa of Avila. The author claims that contemplation was a common goal of both the saints. However, as both of them followed two different lifestyles, so they are seen as models of two Carmelite spiritual streams – contemplation and action and contemplation and silence. While Chavara is a paradigm of the stream of contemplation and action, Euphrasia naturally is a representative of those who follow the path of contemplation and silence.

Historical Background Child Rose (later Sr Euphrasia CMC) was born on 17 October 1877 seven years after the death of Chavara (3 January 1871) at Kattoor, a village in the Vicariate of Varapuzha as the eldest daughter of Eluvathingal Anthony-Kunjetty of a financially well to do Syrian Christian family. -

Uma Missão Para O Império: Política Missionária E O “Novo Imperialismo” (1885-1926)
PROGRAMA INTERUNIVERSITÁRIO DE DOUTORAMENTO EM HISTÓRIA Universidade de Lisboa, ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Universidade Católica Portuguesa e Universidade de Évora Uma Missão para o Império: Política missionária e o “novo imperialismo” (1885-1926) Hugo Filipe Gonçalves das Dores Doutoramento em História Especialidade «Impérios, Colonialismo e Pós-Colonialismo» Tese orientada pelos Professores Doutores António Costa Pinto, Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo e António Matos Ferreira Ano 2014 Tese financiada pela Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, fundos nacionais do MCTES Referência da Bolsa: SFRH/BD/63422/2009 UMA MISSÃO PARA O IMPÉRIO II UMA MISSÃO PARA O IMPÉRIO RESUMO Este trabalho procura compreender o processo histórico de constituição de uma política missionária no império colonial português, num período de crescente internacionalização da problemática da religião e das missões nos contextos imperial e internacional, com a afirmação da liberdade missionária e da tolerância religiosa enquanto princípios essenciais na obra “civilizacional” europeia nos espaços coloniais africanos. A análise da complexidade de um processo que relaciona “missão” e “império”, nas suas múltiplas expressões históricas e manifestações geográficas, é feita a partir de três dimensões essenciais para o debate empreendido pelos actores históricos da época: a dimensão católica, com a centralidade da problemática padroeira e a procura de uma solução concordatária como forma de auxiliar a consolidação da soberania imperial portuguesa em África; a dimensão protestante, vista como “ameaça” ao império, sublinhando as percepções formadas em torno do seu carácter «herético» e, principalmente, «estrangeiro», cruciais para o argumentário colonial português; a dimensão republicana, com as vicissitudes para a definição de uma política missionária nacionalizadora e os limites da aplicabilidade de uma estratégia legislativa iminentemente ideológica. -
Book Is of Great Antiquity and It Seems That in Its Original Form It Was Held in High Esteem by the Heretics of the First and Second Centuries
1 Introduction Syro-Malabar Church has a long history. But certain elements of her history are yet to be made clear. Studies are going on in this regard. The ancient period can rightly be called ‘the apostolic period’ in the history of the Syro-Malabar Church. Apostle St Thomas laid a strong foundation to this Church. The recent archaeological researches done in and around Muziris and the studies regarding the coins of king Gundaphar, discovered from Afghanistan and Pakistan, prove many facts of history which were formerly part of tradition or belief. The beliefs of our ancestors handed over to us as traditions are not fictions, but historical facts, but often shrouded with other narrations, as their intentions were not exactly to hand over the historical facts. Therefore, a study of ancient history is to be done critically and not literally. The fame of India in the ancient Greco- Roman world, the Roman trade with ancient India, presence of Jews in Kerala etc helped Thomas to reach India for evangelization. As early as the fifth century and perhaps even before India’s Christian community had maintained a conscious connection with the authority of the Persian patriarch and with the Syriac language and liturgy of the Nestorian Church or the Church of the East. In the seventh century this dependence took on a measure of structural independence when the Nestorian patriarch granted the metropolitan (archbishop) in India freedom from the jurisdiction of the Persian metropolitan of Rew-ardashir. From that time on India’s ecclesiastical ties with the Baghdad patriarchate became more and more intermittent. -

And it is appropriate for the season to dwell on the theme of Second Coming and Apocalypse. Amidst all anxieties about the unpredictable end of the world, ruminations on what is happening around us, in the world, and in India of today ruffle our mind to a great extent. The lines from W. B. Yeats’ poem The Second Coming (1919), written at the end of World War I, seem appropriate to the general mood: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
