  • Bring Flowers of the Rarest…… Creating a May Altar in Your Home
    Bring flowers of the rarest…… Creating a May Altar in your Home Many people create a small altar in their home during the month of May. The altar is traditionally dedicated to Mary, the mother of God as May is the Marian month when Catholics give special praise and honour to Jesus’ mother Mary, gifted to us as our mother too. May is also the first month of summer, so it comes to pass that altars which are created during this time are adorned with flowers that bloom at this time of year and with particular prayers, or itemsof devotion such as rosary beads to decorate this special space and to express our love and honour to Mary. Here are a couple of steps that you and your family can follow when preparing to have a May Altar in your home….. 1: Plan a nature walk Decide upon a place to go for a walk together. On your nature walk, try to locate some of the following traditional flowers that have been used for May altars over the generations. It is good to choose wildflowers, if you can, which are far better for the environment. Cut commercial flowers can sometimes come with a big carbon footprint, which Pope Francis encourages us to try to reduce. Some flowers you might like to look for on your nature walk might include.... □ Wildflowers □ Buttercups □ Primroses □ Daffodils □ Wild bluebells □ Cowslips □ Lilac 2: Pick the location for the May Altar in your home Try and involve all members of the household in the decision-making about where your family May Altar will be placed.

  • Ave Maria” Sung by Soprano Renee Fleming, to an Arrangement by Chris Hazel, Accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
    Franz Schubert’s “Ave Maria” sung by soprano Renee Fleming, to an arrangement by Chris Hazel, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Track 1 (4:17) Ave maris stella is a popular liturgical hymn of unknown origin. It can be dated back to at least the 9th century. The hymn is frequently attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), a devout client of Our Lady. It is found in ancient codices of the Divine Office for Vespers on Marian feasts. Today it is still in use in the Divine Office, the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, and as a Benediction hymn. Next listen as the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, Stephen Cleobury, conductor, from the CD Evensong and Vespers at King’s, sings Hans Leo Hassler’s Ave Maris Stella. Track 2 (5:43) Most antiphons are short, unassuming pieces, sung as prelude and postlude to the chanting of a psalm. Somewhat more substantial are antiphons to be sung with the canticles of the Divine Office. One of these is “Tu es pastor ovium,” sung with the Vespers canticle Magnificat on St. Peter’s Day. Next we hear the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice & Saint-Maur, Clervaux singing this Antiphon and Canticle. Track 3 (3:42) A special group of antiphons, not sung with psalms, are those performed in honour of the Blessed Virgin as independent “anthems,” often in the Compline service at the end of the day. We will hear the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice & Saint-Maur, Clevaux sing these five antiphons: “Salve Regina,’ “Ave Maria,” “Sub tuum praesidium,” “Alma Redemptoris Mater,” and “Regina caeli.” Track 4 (2:49) Track 5 (1:07) Track 6 (1:00) Track 7 (1:51) Track 8 (1:50) When Serge Rachmaninov (1873-1943) wrote his great settings for the Liturgy of St.

The use of the anthem at Compline was begun by the Dominicans about 1221 and the practice spread rapidly. It was introduced into the "modernised." Franciscan Breviary in the thirteenth century. The Carthusians sing it daily at Vespers; the Cistercians sing it after Compline, and the Carmelites say it after every Hour of the Office. It was especially obnoxious to Luther, who several times denounced it, as did the Jansenists also. It is recorded in the lives of several saints that the Blessed Virgin, to show her love for this beautiful prayer, showed Ave Regina Caelorum to them her Son, at the moment they said "Et Jesum ..

Carroll: A Survey of Recent Mariology A SURVEY OF RECENT MARIOLOGY Contemporary theological interest in the Blessed Virgin Mary is well reflected yet again this year in an abundant polyglot literature. Even a survey of book length would be only a shallow sounding of current studies on the Christian mystery of Mary. As the Italian Montfort Father Stefano De Fiores suggested in a recent address and as the French lay­ man Jean Guitton wrote over forty years ago, Mariology is the microcosm in which the macrocosm of all theology is summed up. Before the regular sections of this annual round-up, I note three introductory items, as is also the custom: from Scripture, the Fathers and ecumenism. The biblical example is the book by the Marianist scholar, Father George T. Mon­ tague, S.M., a remarkable personal testimony based on three factors: biblical theology of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, the author's experience of six years in Nepal and his charismatic involvement.

His early musical education was in Avila until his voice broke (by 1563/5) when he was sent to the Jesuit Collegio Germanico in Rome to continue his education. His first publication, Motecta (Venice, 1572) included motets for 4–6 and 8 voices, and around this time he may have studied with Palestrina, maestro di cappella at the nearby Seminario Romano. In 1587 Victoria left Italy for Spain where, until 1603, he was appointed Chaplain to the Dowager Empress Maria; he was also maestro de cappilla there until 1604. In 1598 he engaged Julio Junti de Modesti of Madrid to produce 200 copies of a collection which eventually appeared in 1600 as Missae, Magnificat, motecta, psalmi et alia quam plurmia… The present edition is based on the 1600 publication, one which enjoyed considerable distribution, reaching even Mexico and South America.
