  • The Holy See
    The Holy See FEAST OF ST STEPHEN PROTOMARTYRPOPE FRANCIS ANGELUS Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 26 December 2018 [Multimedia] Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning! The joy of Christmas still floods our hearts. The wondrous message continues to resonate: Christ is born for us and brings peace to the world. In this joyful climate, today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Stephen, deacon and first martyr. It might seem curious to place the memorial of Saint Stephen alongside Jesus’ birth, because a contrast stands out between the joy of Bethlehem and the tragedy of Stephen, stoned in Jerusalem during the first persecution against the nascent Church. In reality it is not so, because the Child Jesus is the Son of God made man, who will save humanity by dying on the Cross. We now contemplate him wrapped in swaddling cloths in the Nativity scene; after his crucifixion he will again be wrapped in bandages and laid in a tomb. Saint Stephen was the first to follow in the footsteps of the divine Master in martyrdom; he died as Jesus did, by entrusting his own life to God and forgiving his persecutors. Two approaches: he entrusted his life to God and he forgave. As he was being stoned he said: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59). They are words wholly similar to those spoken by Jesus on the Cross: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!” (Lk 23:46). The attitude of Stephen, who faithfully imitates Jesus’ actions, is an invitation addressed to each one of us to faithfully receive from the Lord’s hands the positive and also negative things that life reserves for us.

  • The Burial of the Urban Poor in Italy in the Late Republic and Early Empire
    Death, disposal and the destitute: The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Republic and early Empire Emma-Jayne Graham Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield December 2004 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk The following have been excluded from this digital copy at the request of the university: Fig 12 on page 24 Fig 16 on page 61 Fig 24 on page 162 Fig 25 on page 163 Fig 26 on page 164 Fig 28 on page 168 Fig 30on page 170 Fig 31 on page 173 Abstract Recent studies of Roman funerary practices have demonstrated that these activities were a vital component of urban social and religious processes. These investigations have, however, largely privileged the importance of these activities to the upper levels of society. Attempts to examine the responses of the lower classes to death, and its consequent demands for disposal and commemoration, have focused on the activities of freedmen and slaves anxious to establish or maintain their social position. The free poor, living on the edge of subsistence, are often disregarded and believed to have been unceremoniously discarded within anonymous mass graves (puticuli) such as those discovered at Rome by Lanciani in the late nineteenth century. This thesis re-examines the archaeological and historical evidence for the funerary practices of the urban poor in Italy within their appropriate social, legal and religious context. The thesis attempts to demonstrate that the desire for commemoration and the need to provide legitimate burial were strong at all social levels and linked to several factors common to all social strata.

It was during the time of, or soon after, the first Christian persecution,2 which was initiated by Nero himself against the members of a religion that a decision of the Senate in A.D. 35 had labelled as an ‘illicit superstition.’ According to Tertullian, Tiberius in the Senate proposed to recognize the Christians’ religion, but the senators refused, and proclaimed Christianity a superstitio illicita, so that every Christian could be put to death. But Tiberius, thanks to his tribunicia potestas, vetoed the Chris- tians’ condemnations, and there was no Roman persecution until the time of Nero.3 According to Tacitus (Ann. 15, 44), in A.D. 64, at the time of the ————— 1 This article is the revised version of the paper presented at the SBL Annual Meeting, Atlanta, Nov. 22–25 2003, Ancient Fiction and Early Christian and Jewish Narrative Group. 2 See e.g. Rowell 1958, 14–24, who identifies Petraites, mentioned in Sat. 52, 3 and 71, 6 with the famous gladiator of the Neronian age; Schnur 1959, and Moreno 1962/4, accord- ing to whom the economic background of the Satyricon points to the Neronian age; Rose 1962, who dates the novel between the end of A.D. 64 and the summer of 65; Id. 1971, esp.

  • Gaudeamus-CD-Bookletfinal.Pdf
    Gaudeamus Celebrating 800 Years of Dominican Life 2016 is an important year for the Dominican Order: we turn eight hundred years old! In this jubilee year, Do- minicans everywhere are celebrating the role that the order has played in the world, in the Church, and in each of our lives. In the Province of Saint Joseph, our schola cantorum at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., has produced an album of sacred music to celebrate this special anniversary. Spanning from medieval times all the way to the present day, the music of Gaudeamus, Latin for “let us rejoice,” highlights various themes of our Dominican life. We begin with the source and summit of the Christian life, the Eucharist, by singing multiple musical settings of a prayer composed by Saint Thomas Aquinas, a great theologian of the Church and an early Dominican friar: “O sacred banquet, in which Christ is received.” Next, we honor three saints who have a special place in our life: the Blessed Virgin Mary, the patroness of the order and of our house; Saint Joseph, the patron of our province; and Holy Father Dominic, our founder. Saint Dominic founded our order to preach for the salvation of souls, so the next group of selections highlights this special mission of preaching: “Proclaim the greatness of the Lord, you preachers of his grace!” Then, we celebrate the saints in general, all those who “follow the Lamb wherever he goes.” We conclude the album in the same way that we conclude each day in our convents, by praying for the deceased: “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.” Five of the tracks on Gaudeamus are original compositions by some of our friars here at the House of Studies, and two more of the tracks are original texts by our friars and include musical arrangements by them as well.
