Dominican Saints #1 Saint Dominic Guzman St Dominic de Guzman -- 1170-1221 Blessed Jane of Aza, the mother of St. Dominic had a dream before Dominic was conceived in which she saw a dog with a lit torch in its mouth which lit the world on fire. This vision was later to be fulfilled in the preaching of Dominic and the Order of Preachers. In 1203 Bishop Diego of Osma requested that Dominic, a priest of Osma, accompany him on a diplomatic mission. This mission led them through the south of France where they first encountered the Albigensians or Cathars, proponents of a heretical spirituality, denying the goodness of material creation and the human body. Dominic’s encounter with the heretics inspired him to gather a team of preachers to call the people back to Christian faith and values. He founded a convent of nuns from early women converts. Approval of the brotherhood was soon granted by the Pope. Today the Dominican family is composed of priests and brothers, contemplative nuns, active sisters, and lay Dominicans dedicated to the Order’s mission: to praise, to bless and to preach. Dominic is shown with a star (5 pointed, usually an 8 pointed) over his head, a walking staff, a book with the words: “Vade et praedicare"-- go and preach, and wearing the rosary. The middle panel is the image of the dog and the torch. Sometimes the dog is portrayed as bearing the torch in his teeth. A crown of sanctity and the Dominican fleur-de- lis shield is found in each of the saints windows Dominican Saints #2 Saint Vincent Ferrer St Vincent Ferrer--1350-1419 St. Vincent was born in Valencia, Spain, in the Catalan country. Remarkable legends are connected to his birth and early childhood. As a young man he entered the Dominican Order where he first excelled in philosophy. He then became a dedicated student of sacred scripture learning Hebrew and Greek. Called to service of the Avignon popes – this was a time of a divided papacy – he served as spiritual counselor and preacher to several pontiffs.

  • Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St
    Did you know . Pope St. Pius V: Pope of the Rosary Pope St. Pius V is one of the foremost leaders of the Catholic Reformation. He was born Antonio Ghislieri in Bosco, Italy, to a poor family; he worked as a shepherd until the age of fourteen when he joined the Dominicans, and was ordained in 1528. He studied at Bologna and Genoa, and then taught theology and philosophy for sixteen years. He was known for his long hours of prayer and fasting, and his holy speech. Due to his reputation for holiness and his great intelligence, he rose to a number of prominent positions in the Church, including Inquisitor and bishop. When Pope Pius IV died in 1565, he was unanimously elected Pope and took the name Pope Pius V. As pope, Pius was a great reformer and saw as his main objective the full implementation of the decrees of the Council of Trent. He also supported the foreign missions and worked for the reform of the clergy. He published the Roman Catechism, the revised Roman Breviary, and the Roman Missal; he also declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church, commanded a new edition of the works of Thomas Aquinas, and created a commission to revise the Vulgate. Pope Pius V was especially known for his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and for being a great promoter of the Holy Rosary. He was given the title of “The Pope of the Rosary” for issuing a papal bull, Consueverunt Romani Pontifices, in which he secured the uniformity of the Holy Rosary for recitation throughout the Catholic Church and for establishing the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

    1 SHORT HISTORY OF THE ORDER OF THE SERVANTS OF MARY V. Benassi - O. J. Diaz - F. M. Faustini Chapter I THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY From the origins of the Order (ca. 1233) to its approval (1304) The approval of the Order. In the year 1233... Florence in the first half of the thirteenth century. The beginnings at Cafaggio and the retreat to Monte Senario. From Monte Senario into the world. The generalate of St. Philip Benizi. Servite life in the Florentine priory of St. Mary of Cafaggio in the years 1286 to 1289. The approval of the Order On 11 February 1304, the Dominican Pope Benedict XI, then in the first year of his pontificate, sent a bull, beginning with the words Dum levamus, from his palace of the Lateran in Rome to the prior general and all priors and friars of the Order of the Servants of Saint Mary. With this, he gave approval to the Rule and Constitutions they professed, and thus to the Order of the Servants of Saint Mary which had originated in Florence some seventy years previously. For the Servants of Saint Mary a long period of waiting had come to an end, and a new era of development began for the young religious institute which had come to take its place among the existing religious orders. The bull, or pontifical letter, of Pope Benedict XI does not say anything about the origins of the Order; it merely recognizes that Servites follow the Rule of St. Augustine and legislation common to other orders embracing the same Rule.

  • SCA Circlet of Lordship, Sterling Silver with Amber and Sapphires
    Artisan’s Name: Lord Snorri skyti Bjarnarson, MKA David Haldenwang, [email protected] Title of Project: SCA Circlet of Lordship, sterling silver with amber and sapphires Overview: I really like shiny things. I decided I needed more shiny things, but pretty shiny things are extremely expensive. I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and learn to make more shiny things myself, while saving some money. I chose to make a circlet for myself because it gave me the opportunity to make something particularly visible and gaudy. I used sterling silver, 14k gold, and fine silver, because only thralls wear brass, and chose sapphire and amber cabochons to mount on it, because my arms are Or and Azure. I chose to use seven gems, for the simple reason that seven is not six – I do not want this mistaken for a Baronial coronet. Historical Basis: Some of the earliest forms of headgear worn to denote royalty or nobility are the diadems worn by the ancient Greeksi. These are still preserved in museums, and illustrated on many coins of the era. For example, this coin, of Antiochus III of the Selucid Empire (ca. 223 BC – 187 BC), shows him wearing a diadem, and bears the inscription in Greek ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ, of King Antiochusii: While these diadems started as simple ribbons or wreaths, worn upon the head for ceremonial or religious reasonsiii, by the 4th century, it was fairly common for rulers in the Greek world to wear a golden wreath on their head as a symbol of nobility or even divinity – because many depictions of the Greek pantheon showed the gods wearing wreaths: Heracles with wreath of white poplar leavesiv: There is also the story of Apollo and the nymph Daphne, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in which she is pursued by Apollo and turns herself into a laurel tree.

Dominic & Francisco Radecki, CMRI ALL AUDIO RECORDINGS AND STUDY SHEETS OF ALL CLASSES MAY BE DOWNLOADED FROM http://tinyurl.com/TumultTimes January 16, 2018 Part C – The Tridentine Latin Mass and the New Mass, pre-Vatican II changes by John XXIII: St. Joseph’s name in the Canon, suppression of Last Gospel, introducing the vernacular into the Liturgy, changes in church architecture, pp. 387-394 A. Outstanding Resources 1. Quo Primum of Pope St. Pius V, July 14, 1570 2. Letter of Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci to Paul VI, September 25, 1969, called the famous “Ottaviani Intervention,” easily obtained by a simple Internet search 3. Work of Human Hands, by Fr.

Dominic & Francisco Radecki, CMRI, 2004, obtainable from Mary Immaculate Queen Center. B. Can the Mass ever be changed? 1. The essence of it was established by Jesus Christ, and no one, not even a Pope, can change what was thus divinely established. 2. Though a Pope cannot change the substance of the Mass, he can change the accidents, or non-essentials, of the Mass a. This is how the Mass developed organically through the centuries. b. True Popes have also made incidental changes to the Mass, e.g. the Holy Week changes of Pope Pius XII in 1955. 3. Quo Primum was the strongest Papal statement that no one, not even a Cardinal, could authorize changes in the Mass.

  • Catholic Reformers
    THREE CATHOLIC REFORMERS OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. MARY H. ALLIES. LONDON : BURNS AND OATES. 1878. AT THE FEET OF ST. GREGORY THE SEVENTH, THE PATTERN OF ALL TRUE REFORMERS, I LAY THIS MEMORIAL OF THREE SAINTS, WHO FOLLOWED IN THEIR DAY HIS EXAMPLE, RESTORING THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S HOUSE BY PREACHING THE PENANCE WHICH THEY PRACTISED. PREFACE. The following pages form only a short sketch in the case of each Saint containing some principal incidents in his life, but sufficient, it is hoped, to give a view of the character and actions, so that the reader may draw for himself the lessons to be derived. The authorities followed are, in the case of St. Vincent, the life in the Acta Sanctorum, and of Ranzano, the last written for the Saint's canoniza- tion, which took place about 1456. Also the life by l'Abbe Bayle has been now and then used. In the case of St. Bernardine, the three lives in the Acta Sanctorum, two of which are by eye- witnesses ; the Analecta, collected from various sources, and the Chronica de San Francisco de Assis; with St. Bernardine's own works. In the case of St. John Capistran, the Acta Sanc- torum, containing the learned commentary of the viii Preface, Bollandists three lives three of his ; by companions, eye-witnesses, viz., Nicholas de Fara, Hieronymus de Utino, Christophorus a Varisio. With regard to the title of Apostle, used occa- sionally of these Saints, for which it is believed there is high authority, it must be only taken in a secondary and subordinate sense.

  • St. Agnes of Montepulciano Feast Day: April 20 Born: January 28, 1268
    St. Agnes of Montepulciano Feast Day: April 20 Born: January 28, 1268 Died: April 20, 1317 Canonized: 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII Patron: Agnes de Segni was born in 1268 near Montepulciano, Italy to a wealthy family. At age 6, she announced she would consecrate her life to God. She continuously begged her parents to let her enter a convent. While passing a house of ill repute, crows flew from the brothel and attacked Agnes. The people with her saw this as a sign that demons were angry at Agnes who was so holy and would do great things for the glory of God. They prophetically postured that one day Agnes would convert those in the house from their licentious lifestyle. At age 9, she was allowed to join the Franciscan order for women, trading her fine linen for primitive clothes. Agnes was devoted to the Blessed Sacrament, fasted and was seen levitating in prayer. She had a vision of the Blessed Mother holding the Child Jesus who carried a small gold cross on a chain. Agnes was permitted to hold and embrace the Holy Infant. When the visitation was over, Agnes was left holding the small gold cross on the chain. In another vision, the Blessed Mother gave Agnes 3 stones upon which to build a convent. At age 14, Agnes became in charge of finances. A year later, she was transferred to help establish a new Franciscan convent in Proceno. Upon its completion, she was made abbess. Because she was so young, she needed special dispensation from the bishop.
