  • Blessed Ceslaus Odrowatz of Poland July 17 Ceslaus Odrowatz Was a Near Relative, Probably a Brother, of Saint Hyacinth
    Blessed Ceslaus Odrowatz of Poland July 17 Ceslaus Odrowatz was a near relative, probably a brother, of Saint Hyacinth, and shared with him the apostolate of Northern Europe. Little is known of his youth. He was born in the ancestral castle and educated with Saint Hyacinth, by his uncle, a priest of Cracow. Both young men became priests and, being well‐known for their holiness, were chosen to be canons in the cathedral chapter in Cracow. When their uncle received an appointment as bishop of Cracow, the two young priests accompanied him on his trip to Rome, where he would be consecrated. It was in Rome that the two zealous young priests first heard of the work of Saint Dominic. The order was then only four years old, and its eager members had penetrated to almost all parts of Christendom and were pushing into the lands of the Tartars and the Mohammedans. The new bishop strongly desired that some of the friars should come to Poland. Since Saint Dominic was then in Rome, they went to him for missionaries. Dominic was deeply regretful that he had no friars who were able to speak the languages of the North. However, he was much drawn to the bishop’s two young nephews, and promised to make them Dominican apostles if they would remain with him. After their novitiate training, Hyacinth and Ceslaus went home. Ceslaus went to Prague, and other parts of Bohemia, where he founded convents of Friar Preachers and also established a group of nuns. Then he went to Silesia, where he founded the convent of Breslau that was to become his center of activities.

  • National, Regional, Or Just Catholic?—Dilemmas of Church Art in a German–Polish Borderland
    arts Article National, Regional, or Just Catholic?—Dilemmas of Church Art in a German–Polish Borderland. Upper Silesia, 1903–1953 Jerzy Gorzelik Faculty of Humanities, University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-001 Katowice, Poland; [email protected] Abstract: The rise of nationalism threatened the integrity of the Catholic milieu in borderlands such as Prussian Upper Silesia. Facing this challenge, the ecclesiastical elite developed various strategies. This article presents interpretations of sacred art works from the first half of the 20th century, which reveal different approaches to national discourses expressed in iconographic programs. The spectrum of attitudes includes indifference, active counteraction to the progress of nationalism by promoting a different paradigm of building temporal imagined communities, acceptance of nationalistic metaphysics, which assumes the division of humanity into nations endowed with a unique personality, and a synthesis of Catholicism and nationalism, in which national loyalties are considered a Christian duty. The last position proved particularly expansive. Based on the primordialist concept of the nation and the historiosophical concept of Poland as a bulwark of Christianity, the Catholic-national ideology gained popularity among the pro-Polish clergy in the inter-war period. This was reflected in Church art works, which were to present Catholicism as the unchanging essence of the nation and the destiny of the latter resulting from God’s will. This strategy was designed to incorporate Catholic Slavophones into the national community. The adoption of a different concept of the nation by the pro-German priests associated with the Centre Party—with a stronger emphasis on the subjective criteria of national belonging—resulted in greater restraint in Citation: Gorzelik, Jerzy.

Boulet) TRUE LOVE OF THE CHURCH 20. THINKING WITH THE CHURCH: The fruit of this image of the Church should lead not only to love but also to a habit of thinking with the Church, to a submission and obedience to her, and to apostolic zeal. To foster this mentality it is necessary that young people know something about the needs of the Church. Here too, the monthly intentions will help a great deal. These specify the great necessities of the Church, for the relief of which the faithful must cooperate by prayer and action. These intentions must be well explained to the children. If some of them are perhaps beyond their capacity, then they should be re-worded so the children can understand them. A well explained intention is one that moves the children to prayer, to make sacrifices, and to work in the apostolate. As a matter of fact, it excites in them the desire to cooperate with Christ Our Lord in promoting His Kingdom among Men. The Crusade has always promoted the "Spiritual Treasury" for the Pope. The children (or the faithful in general) are invited to offer their prayers, sacrifices, and good works done for the Holy Father. (To be continued) December 2008 Treasure Sheets Visit 15 Daily Sacr.

It is with pleasure, therefore, that I am able to announce the fulfillment of these desires. The Breviary, translated by Father Aquinas Byrnes, O.P., is now in the process of publication at Rome, while the translation of the Dominican Martyrology has just completed. The Martyrology is one of the six official books of the Church's liturgy, its use in the choral recitation of the Divine Office is obligatory. Because of the salutary effects derived from the reading of this sacred volume, various Pontiffs have urged its use by those who recite the Office privately.

    COMMEMORATING THE SEVENTH CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF SAINT HYACINTH CARDINAL WYSZYNSKT BLESSES PEOPLE WITH RELIC OF SAINT HYACINTH DOMINICANA Vol. XLII SEPTEMBER, 1957 No. 3 APOSTLE OF THE NORTH ROBERT REID, O.P. LONG, RUMBLING THAIN ground slowly to a stop in Rome's Terminal Railroad Station one clay last May. From it stepped a smiling. alert man of 56 to greet the enthusiastic crowds who had gathered to await his ar- rival. The man was Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of Po­ land, and one of the most outstanding prelates in the Church to­ day. Under his leadership, the Polish people have won a "quiet" and successful revolution against their Communist masters. To­ day, the people of Poland enjoy a degree of religious freedom unparalleled anywhere else in the Communist world. Imprisoned bishops, priests and religious arc free, religious teaching is once more allowed in the schools. the people are free to worship God publicly again-all these throug-h the prudent and zealous efforts of this dynamic Polish prelate. The Primate was in Rome to receive the red hat of a Cardinal ~ of the Church. Actually, it had been awarded to him in absentia in 1953, but he had been unable to receive it in person at that time because oE his imprisonment by the Communists. Now this Polish apostle would be honored as a Prince of the Church and return to his beloved country with 1·cn ewed faith and confidence with which to inspire Poland's more than 27 million Catholics. This year of 1957 is indeed an important one in the history of Poland's Catholicism.
