  • Origins and Development of Religious Orders
    ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF RELIGIOUS ORDERS William A. Hinnebusch, O.P. The article is from a Journal: Review for Religious. It helps us to understand the CONTEXT of St Ignatius while founding the Society of Jesus. An attentive study of the origins and history of religious orders reveals that there are two primary currents in religious life--contemplative and apostolic. Vatican II gave clear expression to this fact when it called on the members of every community to "combine contemplation with apostolic love." It went on to say: "By the former they adhere to God in mind and heart; by the latter they strive to associate themselves with the work of redemption and to spread the Kingdom of God" (PC, 5). The orders founded before the 16th century, with the possible exception of the military orders, recognized clearly the contemplative element in their lives. Many of them, however, gave minimum recognition to the apostolic element, if we use the word "apostolic" in its present-day meaning, but not if we understand it as they did. In their thinking, the religious life was the Apostolic life. It reproduced and perpetuated the way of living learned by the Apostles from Christ and taught by them to the primitive Church of Jerusalem. Since it was lived by the "Twelve," the Apostolic life included preaching and the other works of the ministry. The passage describing the choice of the seven deacons in the Acts of the Apostles clearly delineates the double element in the Apostolic life and underlines the contemplative spirit of the Apostles.

Triest’s parents were well-to-do citizens of Brussels. His father achieved the rank of warden of the guild of the blacksmiths and had acquired several houses and landed property as his business flourished. His mother belonged to a rich family; certain documents suggest that Cecilia Mello sprung directly from the patrician families ‘t Ser Huyghs and ‘t Ser Roelofs, two of the seven patrician lineages whose ancestors are considered to be the founders of Brussels in the 10th century. For some time, the Triest family was supposed to be related to the aristocratic Triest family of whom the 17th century bishop Antonius Triest (1567-1657) was the most famous figure. There were many reasons for thinking so, including the fact that Antonius Triest had been bishop of Ghent not so long before Fr Triest’s activities. Well-to-do, of common descent, thriving by dint of serious work and good management - that is how we can characterise the Triest family among the citizens of 18th century Brussels.

  • Book of Remembrance Capuchin Province of St. Joseph
    Book of Remembrance Capuchin Province of St. Joseph January 1In In charity, let us remember our brother(s) (and affiliates) whose anniversary of death occurs tomorrow. Pancratius Spruck [ Pan -cray- shus Shprewk], who died at Mt. Calvary in 1886, at age 18, after four months in the Scholasticate. Pancratius came from Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in New York City. He entered the Scholasticate at Calvary and was invested into the Third Order of St. Francis. He possessed a genuine piety and was looking forward to entering the novitiate when Sister Death called him unexpectedly. Five years later, his brother entered the Order as Br. Francis, and following the death of his mother, his father also joined the Province as a Third Order Brother. Michael Albers [Al- burrs ], who died at Mt. Calvary in 1931, at age 83, after 58 years of religious life. Born in Germany, Michael came to America at age 21 and entered the novitiate at Calvary. Very hardworking, over the years and in various fariaries he served as porter, baker and gardener. He built the bakery at Mt. Calvary, and helped in the construction of the road that leads from the village to the monastery. Michael’s longest assignment was as porter at St. Joseph’s in Appleton where he remained for 30 years. At age 83, he retired to Mt. Calvary where he looked after the cemetery and spent his time in prayer for our deceased brothers. Michael was remembered as “a true Capuchin — simple and charitable.” Accursius Barthruff [a-CURSE-ee-us BAR-truff], who died at Yonkers in 1946, at age 71, after 52 years of religious life.
