GILBERT OF SEMPRINGHAM FEAST DAY: FEBRUARY 16 In today’s Gospel, we continue to hear Mark report the mi- raculous healings that Jesus performed in Galilee. The Gos- pel begins with Jesus healing a man with leprosy. Leprosy is a disfiguring, infectious skin disease that has been surround- ed by many social and religious taboos throughout history. In 1873, the cause of leprosy, also known as Hansen’s dis- ease, was identified. We now know that leprosy is caused by a bacterial infection.

As I write it is about 48 hours since Mrs May’s Brexit plan was voted down by an epic majority, and 24 hours since she survived a vote of no confidence in her government by a slim majority. There are innumerable voices presenting alternatives - and few people listening to anyone else. Where are we heading? And how can we as Christians best move forward in the confusion and chaos which surround us..? As I write, I am in Berlin. Today I have visited among other things a bombed out church, the site of the Berlin Wall, and a bookshop. Perhaps they offer some pointers for us. To start with the bookshop: I found a book by 45 children’s illustrators called Drawing Europe Together.. The illustrators are from across Europe and include Judith Kerr (The Tiger that Came to Tea) and Axel Scheffler (Gruffalo). Two of the illustrations in the book struck me particularly.

Bulletin of the Gilbertine Institute Gilbertine Academy, Holy House & WISDOM 2 Magister Why Magister? Magister is a Latin word which can mean a rabbi, teacher, master, or the pilot of a ship. It brings to mind first of all One who was called “Rabbi”, “Teacher”, and “Master”: Jesus Christ. Magister was also the title most commonly given to St. Gilbert of Sempringham as the first Master, or Magister, of the Gilbertine Order. Finally, the word magister pays homage to St. John Henry Newman, that great teacher in the Anglican Catholic patrimony, and to all the great teachers of the Faith through the centuries. Truly, as Newman himself wrote in the introduction to The Idea of a University, “[w]e have a goodly inheritance.” Magister is intended to be both a bulletin and a devotional, published several times a year in preparation for the Ember Days, for the benefactors of the Gilbertine Institute, Gilbertine Academy and Holy House; to communicate by prayer and supplication, to provide news with thanksgiving, so that we may make our requests known unto God (cf.

  • Translation, Canonization, and the Cult of the Saints in England, 1160-1220
    TRANSLATION, CANONIZATION, AND THE CULT OF THE SAINTS IN ENGLAND, 1160-1220 Elizabeth Hasseler A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History (Medieval History). Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Marcus G. Bull Brett E. Whalen Robert G. Babcock © 2014 Elizabeth Hasseler ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Elizabeth Hasseler: Translation, Canonization, and the Cult of the Saints in England, 1160- 1220 (Under the direction of Marcus G. Bull and Brett E. Whalen) The twelfth century marked a significant change in the way that saints were made. While previously sanctification had been a primarily local phenomenon, overseen by local bishops through the ritual practice of translation, throughout the twelfth century the development of formalized, juridical canonization processes allowed the papacy to oversee the process of making a new saint. This thesis addresses the nature of this shift, arguing that even as canonization proceedings became more common, the ritual of translation still retained significance as an act of local cult building. Focusing on the cults of Edward the Confessor and Thomas Becket, both of whom were canonized by the papacy and subsequently translated by their communities, this study will show that the translation ceremony remained significant through the twelfth century as a moment at which saints were commemorated, their lives narrated, and their remains enshrined within the sacral landscape of the community. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks go first of all to my family and friends who have supported me throughout my time in school.

  • Advice Literature for Holy Women in the Twelfth Century
    GENDERED LESSONS: ADVICE LITERATURE FOR HOLY WOMEN IN THE TWELFTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Laura Michele Diener, M.A ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Hanawalt, Advisor Approved by Professor Joseph Lynch Professor Lisa Kiser __________________________ Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In this dissertation I examine the impact of gender on the spirituality of religious women. I consider a number of texts dating from approximately 1080-1200 written specifically for women that I refer to as religious advice literature, or prescriptive literature. By advice literature, I refer to a variety of genres including letters, sermons, saints’ lives, and visionary texts. Religious men such as Peter Abelard, Osbert of Clare, Goscelin of St. Bertin, and Conrad of Hirsau designed these prescriptive texts to address what they perceived as the issues that directly affected the lives of women. These issues included the preservation of sexual purity and the practice of monastic meditation. I argue that they described traditional metaphors for monastic activity in gendered language. This technique served to make their texts relevant to the lives of religious women. I also consider the potential reactions of female readers. To this end, I consider the writings of female authors such as the Heloise, abbess of the Paraclete in France and Hildegard von Bingen, German abbess and renowned visionary. I also examine the writings of men that were influenced by religious women such as the Life of Christina of Markyate and the Second Life of Robert of Arbrissal.

    Journal of Archaeological Science (1995) 22, 369–384 Evidence for Remedial Medical Treatment of a Severe Knee Injury from the Fishergate Gilbertine Monastery in the City of York Christopher J.

Kemp York Archaeological Trust for Research and Excavation Ltd., 55 Piccadilly, York YO1 1PL, U.K. Paul Budd Ancient Metallurgy Research Group, Department of Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, U.K. (Received 8 September 1993, revised manuscript accepted 10 March 1994) During the analysis of a skeletal population from the Fishergate site in the City of York, an individual from the eastern part of the cemetery associated with the Gilbertine monastic foundation of St. Andrew revealed evidence of a chronic septic arthritis, secondary to a severe right knee twist-fracture, and bone adaptation in response to altered biomechanical loading. This disability had been the subject of remedial medical treatment with copper-alloy plates. Their presence, only the fourth such treatment thus far recorded from the mediaeval period, and the sole example applied to a lower limb, suggests that monastic houses, or those buried at these establishments, and specifically those associated with the Cistercians, had preferential access to medical specialists.
