August 15, 2021 | The Assumpon of the Blessed Virgin Mary Welcome to St. Mary!

This pracce has a Biblical foundaon and has been the Church tradion since the me of St. Peter and St. Paul who visited local churches during their missionary journeys. In those visits, the apostles made pas- sionate appeals for financial aid from the local Chrisan communies on behalf of other churches, especially in Jerusalem (Cf. 1 Cor. 16: 1-3). This ancient pracce brings missionary awareness to the local Church and gives the faithful an opportunity to be a part of the Church’s apostolic work throughout the world. We call this tradion ‘Mission Co-op,’ the cooperaon between missionaries and the local Church. This very enriching mission coopera- on gives the local Church and the foreign missions across the globe mutual spiritual blessings that come as a re- sult of exchanges of culture and faith experience.

First appeared in XAVERIANA (monthly magazine), No. 187 11, Minderbroederstraat, Leuven July 1939: 16th Series, No. 7 he Crosier Fathers' and Brothers' celebration of our 800th Jubilee as a Religious Order in the Catholic Church naturally reminds us of our long Tand rich history. From our humble founding during the Crusades, to tur­ bulent times during the reign of England's King Henry Ylll who suppressed the Crosiers in the British Isles, to the French Revolution which diminished Church life all across Europe, eventually the number of Crosiers dwindled to a remnant of four aged men living in the Netherlands. Even there, Dutch King William I forbade the reception of novices in all Religious Orders, but when he abdicated in 1840, his son repealed this unjust dictate and a large number of secular cler­ gy immediately entered our Order. One of these was Father Henry Yan den Wymelenberg, who had originally been ordained a priest for the Diocese of Mechelen in Belgium in 1823. Soon after joining the Crosiers, Father Yan den Wymelenberg, OSC, became Master General of the Order, and in I 850 he sent Crosier missionaries to Wisconsin so that a more geographically dispersed Order might never again be subject to any one particular episode of history's suppressive movements.

I undertook a major update in April 2019. Because some people might be interested in what happened in published research the roughly 20 years since this was first compiled a separate document on works since c. 2000 is available.

  • Sacred Violence and the Origins of the First Crusade' France, John
    Introduction: sacred violence and the origins of the First Crusade' France, John Citation France, J. (2012). Introduction: sacred violence and the origins of the First Crusade'. Leidschrift : Met Het Kruis Getekend, 27(December), 7-18.

Introduction: sacred violence and the origins of the First Crusade John France One of the reasons why the crusades have fascinated historians and others is because they represent a kind of crescendo of war, an orgy of violence committed in the name of Christ, the ‘prince of peace’. This has been seen as a transformation of the Christian message, and enormous effort has been spent on explaining how it came about. The leading synthesis remains the one produced in 1935 by the German scholar Carl Erdmann, though substantial efforts have been made by others, notably the French scholar Jean Flori.1 To a degree, such analyses have not really recognised that the issue of violence highlighted a very fundamental problem in Christianity which medieval men had to deal with. It was not that using violence was contradictory to the Christian message. Quite to the contrary, because although a pacifistic current can be detected in early Christian thought, some fundamental biblical texts suggested that violence was integral to human existence. The difficulty lay in reconciling the need for violence implicit in biblical authority with the condemnation of the taking of life which had come to assume such importance in Christian thinking and penitential practice.

  • Crusader Arcgaeology: the Material Culture of the Latin East
    Crusader Archaeology In 1099 the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem. For several hundred years, large areas in the Eastern Mediterranean were under Latin rule. This unique volume describes the fascinating story of an invading society transplanting itself into completely new surroundings, providing comprehensive coverage of all aspects of life in the area they occupied. Crusader Archaeology draws together recently excavated material from Israel, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan to examine what life was like for the Crusaders in their new territory, and how they were influenced by the local population. Chapters discuss urban and rural settlements, surveying agriculture, industry, military, church, public and private architecture, arts and crafts, leisure pursuits, death and burial, and building techniques. This highly illustrated volume creates an intriguing portrait of the period, which will make fascinating reading for all those interested in the Middle Ages, and particularly in the Crusaders. Adrian J.Boas is Lecturer in medieval archaeology at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and at Haifa University. He has directed excavations at a Crusader village and a number of castles in Israel.
