He composed this manual of Franciscan history when Dionysius Schüler was Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor (1903-1911), on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the foundation of the Order (1209-1909). Heribert Holzapfel was born in Neckarsulm in northern Baden-Württemberg near Stuttgart, Germany, on 22nd November 1868, feast day of Saint Cecilia. His baptismal name was Joseph. His father, a shoemaker died very early. His pious mother raised her five children solidly and religiously. As a young student Heribert attended the Gymnasium in Landshut. He finished it as a Franciscan student after 7 years. In the meantime he had been accepted in the Order of Friars Minor in the Franciscan Province of Bavaria, and entered the Novitiate house at Dietfurt, 38 kilometres west of Regensburg, on 1st October 1884. After the Gymnasium he was called for military service in the second infantry regiment in Munich as a volunteer for one year. Heribert then continued to study philosophy and theology in Tölz and Munich. He was ordained in 1891 in the cathedral of Freising by Archbishop Antonius von Thoma. After a short time of pastoral work in the friries of Mühldorf and Dingolfing he became a rector of the seminary in Landshut for three years. He was then guardian and director of the friary of Pfreim. In 1897 he began teaching theology for the Franciscan students in Tölz and then in Munich, where he continued to live after 1900. On 8th November 1902, feast day of Blessed John Duns Scotus, brother Heribert acquired his doctorate in theology. In the Bavarian Province brother Heribert occupied the post of master of clerics. For 12 years he belonged to the definitory, or council, of the Province. He was also responsible for canonical visitations of various provinces in the Order, including the provinces of Tyrol, Austria, Thuringia and Silesia. On 1st October 1934 Heribert celebrated his golden jubilee in the Franciscan Order. For more than half of his life brother Heribert lived in the Franziskanerkloster of St. Anna in Munich. All the friars who were ordained after 1897 had been formed by him. He was very active as a priest, confessor, retreat director, and he entered into dialogue with atheists and communists. Brother Heribert specialized in mediaeval studies. He published works on St. Dominic and the Rosary, the Manual on the History of the Franciscan Order, a study on the Portiuncula Indulgence, a historical study about the disputation regarding Rites in China, to name just a few of his many publications. From 1912 to 1918 brother Heribert was Minister Provincial of the Bavarian Province. It was a difficult period, because of the Great European War. Heribert took care to open the friaries for the care of wounded soldiers. Heribert Holzapfel died on 26th May 1936 in the clinic of Kopernicus house in Frauenburg, from an embolus after a car accident on the way to visit the bishop of Ermland. At that time Heribert was travelling from Munich to Berlin in order to start the canonical visitation of the Province of Silesia. He was buried on 30th May, vigil of Pentecost, after a funeral led by Cardinal Faulhaber. 3 Heribert Holzapfel: History of the Franciscan Order ______________________________________________________________________________________ The Necrologium of the Bavarian Province states that the best way to describe brother Heribert is that of the words of St. Bonaventure: cum scientia pietas pulcherrima societas (with the science of piety there is a most beautiful company). Brother Heribert was a pious man, and he was also a man of science. The aim of what he wanted in life was that of striving to attain what the Church states in the antiphon of the divine office of the feast of St. Francis: non soli vivere, sed aliis proficere vult Dei zelo ductus (he did not live for himself, but wanted to strive for the good of others, led by zeal for God). The moment of the publication of Holzapfel’s Handbuch der Geschichte des Franziskanerordens, translated into Latin with the title Manuale Historiae Ordinis Fratrum Minorum, was one of the most fruitful in the study of Franciscan history. In 1877 the Minister General Bernardino dal Vago da Portogruaro had founded the College of San Bonaventura at Quaracchi, Florence, whose principal aim was the preparation of the critical edition of the works of Saint Bonaventure. The task was undertaken by a group of Franciscan scholars led by Fedele da Fanna (†1881), and then by Ignatius Jeiler (†1904). The eleven-volume edition of the Opera omnia was published in 1882-1902 at Quaracchi. The same scholars also took charge of the publication of the writings of Saint Francis and those of the great medieval Franciscan masters like Alexander of Hales, John Duns Scotus and Bernardine of Siena. Since 1908, just one year before Holzapfel’s volume was published, they have been publishing the Archivum Franciscanum Historicum, with the aim of furthering historical research in Franciscan history. The College of Quaracchi was transferred to Grottaferrata in 1971 and is now in Saint Isidore’s Irish College in Rome. The aim of the Manual, as stated by the author, was that of providing a comprehensive history of the Order of Friars Minor, in order to strengthen the sense of unity and religious discipline of the Order. One should read these words against the historical background of events unfolding in the Order of Friars Minor in 1909. On 4th October 1897, solemnity of Saint Francis, Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) had published the Constitution Felicitate quadam, which marked the unification of the four branches of the Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance (Observants, Reformed, Recollects, Alcantarines) into one family, henceforth to be known simply as Ordo Fratrum Minorum, Order of Friars Minor. This unification had not been easy and was bound to find resistance from within the inner ranks of the Order, particularly by the group of ex-Reformed friars. The other Franciscan families of the First Order, namely the Friars Minor Conventuals and the Friars Minor Capuchins, were not at all happy with the turn of events, since they regarded the name Order of Friars Minor without any further additions as a usurpation by one particular religious family of the official name of the Order founded by Saint Francis. Although the strong will of Leo XIII and of the general government of the Friars Minor succeeded in getting the unification through, problems cropped up once more during the pontificate of Saint Pius X (1903-1914). This time the protests regarding the name Order of Friars Minor arrived at the proper channels in the Roman Curia, and particularly in the Congregation for Regulars, headed by the Capuchin Cardinal José de Calasanz Vives y Tutò. The year 1909 marked the 700th anniversary of the approval of the first Franciscan Rule by Pope Innocent III in 1209. For the occasion the German Franciscan historian Hebert Holzapfel OFM presented his Handbuch der Geschichte des Franziskanerordens, 4 Heribert Holzapfel: History of the Franciscan Order ______________________________________________________________________________________ published with the permission of the Minister General Dionysius Schüler OFM on 23rd March 1909 and the imprimatur of the ecclesiastical authorities on 16th April of the same year. The volume was a milestone in presenting a comprehensive history of the Franciscan family, but it was met with criticism, probably within the framework of the turn of events at that particular moment. In fact, it was exactly on 4th October 1909 that Pope Pius X published the Apostolic Letter Septimo iam, in order to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the approval of the Franciscan Forma Vitae, but also to state that, since it was becoming clear that there were protests regarding the name Order of Friars Minor being given to one Franciscan family, he henceforth willed that the Order would be known as Order of Friars Minor “of the Leonine Union”. This name was hardly ever used in official Church documents, but it left a legacy of bitterness and a polemical atmosphere among the three families of the First Franciscan Order. Holzapfel’s Manual of Franciscan History, however, was never meant to provide a polemical reading of Franciscan history seen from the eyes of the Observant tradition. Unfortunately it was thought that Holzapfel was out to prove that the Friars Minor were the true descendents of the original Order founded by Saint Francis. An attentive reading of the volume would show that Holzapfel was a genuine historian, although he could not refrain from being influenced by the polemical atmosphere in the Franciscan family during the early decades of the 20th century. Holzapfel’s Manual became a classic textbook of Franciscan history and was immediately translated into Latin for use in the classrooms of Franciscan student houses in the Order of Friars Minor. It was followed by another documented history of the early period of the Order by the Capuchin Gratien de Paris, Histoire de la Fondation et de l’Évolution de l’Ordre des Fréres Mineurs, Paris 1928.

  • Saint Eric of Pordenone Catholic.Net
    Saint Eric Of Pordenone Catholic.net A Franciscan missionary of a Czech family named Mattiussi, born at Villanova near Pordenone, Friuli, Italy, about 1286; died at Udine, 14 January 1331. About 1300 he entered the Franciscan Order at Udine. Towards the middle of the thirteenth century the Franciscans were commissioned by the Holy See to undertake missionary work in the interior of Asia. Among the missionaries sent there were John Piano Carpini, William Rubruquis, and John of Montecorvino. Odoric was called to follow them, and in April, 1318, started from Padua, crossed the Black Sea to Trebizond, went through Persia by way of the Tauris, Sultaniah, where in 1318 John XXII had erected an archbishopric, Kasham, Yezd, and Persepolis; he also visited Farsistan, Khuzistan, and Chaldea, and then went back to the Persian Gull. From Hormuz he went to Tana on the Island of Salsette, north of Bombay. Here he gathered the remains of Thomas of Tolentino, Jacopo of Padua, Pietro of Siena, and Demetrius of Tiflis, Franciscans who, a short time before, had suffered martyrdom, and took them with him so as to bury them in China. From Salsette he went to Malabar, Fondaraina (Flandrina) that lies north of Calicut, then to Cranganore that is south of Calicut, along the Coromandel Coast, then to Meliapur (Madras) and Ceylon. He then passed the Nicobar Islands on his way to Lamori, a kingdom of Sumoltra (Sumatra); he also visited Java, Banjarmasin on the southern coast of Borneo, and Tsiompa (Champa) in the southern part of Cochin China, and finally reached Canton in China.

Copyright (c) 1997 EWTN Online Services. The Franciscan Crown, or the Rosary of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an ancient sacramental treasured by the Franciscan order. Father Luke Wadding, a well-known Franciscan historian, dates the inception of this chaplet to 1422, the entrance date into the novitiate of the order of an unnamed pious young man. This young devotee of Mary had been accustomed, before his entrance, to decorate a statue of the Virgin with crowns of fresh flowers. This practice was forbidden to him in the novitiate, and fearing a lack of devotion to his Queen, he determined to leave the order.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.
