As our long Lenten journey comes to an end, we can now again rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Over the past 40 days, we have been closely examining our strengths and our faults, subjecting ourselves to sometimes diffi cult periods of fasting and praying in preparation for the renewal of our spirit during our celebration of Easter. The contrast between the somber mood of Ash Wednesday and the joyful feast of Easter could not be more apparent. It is like that of the dark clouds that herald an approaching storm and the bright rainbow that follows in its wake. When we see that rainbow appear, we know that we are no longer in danger, and that the sun is shining nearby. Likewise, the resurrection of Christ on Easter National Regent Joanne Tomassi Sunday gives us hope, reassuring us that the despair of Good Friday is in the past, replaced by the peace and calm of God’s kingdom, in which Christ triumphs over all – even death. On the fi rst Sunday of Lent, we heard a reading from the book of Genesis, in which the Lord, in the wake of the Great Flood, gave us the gift of a rainbow as a reminder of His loving promises to us. While God’s faithfulness and mercy to us is the ultimate “rainbow,” the ultimate sign of hope, we, too, are called to be “rainbows” to others, a bright spot in someone’s day. As Catholic Daughters we are often involved with bringing aid to those who are not only physically needy, but who may also be in need of spiritual support. Each time I am faced with adversity – whether my own or that of someone I am assisting – I try to fi nd the “rainbow” in the situation. If we look hard enough and prayerfully consider each circumstance, there is almost always a bright side to be found that will refl ect God’s will and care for us. Recently, I have been helping my brother, who broke both arms in a backyard accident, when he fell from the top of a 20-foot extension ladder. John was rushed to intensive care, endured surgeries, spent several days in the hospital, and then was sent to a rehabilitation center where he has been working to regain the functioning of his arms. Though these challenges certainly were diffi cult for my brother and our family to undergo, there were many rainbows to be found in this situation. John did not die or have permanent damage to his body, nor did he break any other bones or have a severe head injury. My family and I strove to remind John of these blessings and of the grace of God throughout his painful recovery. When he ended up in the rehabilitation facility, John encountered more “rainbows” on his own: people who were permanently paralyzed and unable to use various parts of their bodies.

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas 3 National Chaplain’s Message Regular Sunday Worship Deepens Faith Dear Catholic Daughters, We have just celebrated the great feast of Jesus’ resurrection, and I am reminded of a story I once heard. One Easter Sunday, an elderly pastor looked over his large congregation and startled them with this announcement: “My friends, realizing that I will not see many of you until next Easter, may I take this opportunity to wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.” The difference in the size of the congregation on Easter Sunday and on the other Sundays of the year is very noticeable. Many of our Catholics, as far as church attendance is concerned, have indeed become Holy Week Catholics: you Rev. Edward Lamp see them in church only during the Holy Week. Consider a certain man who was criticizing his pastor. “I have attended this church for three years,” he says, “and each time the homily is always on the same topic. Doesn’t he have something else to talk about?” Yes, this man has been attending the church for three years all right; but he only attends on Easter Sunday and he always hears a homily on the resurrection of Christ. Why are many well-meaning Christians so uncommitted to attending regular Sunday church services? The answer can be given in one word: doubt or crisis of faith. People today, like people of all times, do have a hunger for God. They are searching for the meaning of life. But they doubt whether the answer to these existential questions can be found within the four walls of the church. For this reason they are more disposed to spend time in social action, in work, and in intellectual pursuit rather than in church worship. In John’s gospel [John 20:19-31] we find an example of a man who felt exactly like that.

Pauli ad Hebr. XI, 38) 3 4 Introductory Note This year on 12 January 2011, 90 years from the birth of Bishop Dr. Felix Maria Davidek passed away. The Church life from Czechoslovakia during the Communist persecution was related to the figure of Bishop Davidek who found solutions for keeping the Church alive and uncompromised. A small volume with autographs from bishops and priests from that period would be, we believe, a modest tribute to honor his figure and his spiritual succession. H. Exc. Hofrat Dr. Manfred Kierein, Gr. Cr. OBSS opened again his personal archive, offering most of the documents exposed there. Fr. Dr. Mircea Remus Birtz, OBSS wrote a small study and some annexes, trying to introduce the lector on that period. Photographic material was collected too, hoping to increase the records from this booklet. Difficulties in our research were great, the linguistic impediment being a problem (both authors confess that, even if having several ancestors in the Czech Lands, Slovakia, Moravia and Sudet Region, they unfortunately do not speak Czech or Slovak, as some of their forefathers did).

  • A Cultural History of Catholic Nationalism in Slovakia, 1985-1993
    A Cultural History of Catholic Nationalism in Slovakia, 1985-1993 Submitted by Agáta Drelová to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, September 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 ABSTRACT This thesis is about the construction of a nationalised public Catholic culture in Slovakia from 1985 to 1993. At the core of this culture was the assumption that the Catholic Church had always been an integral part of the Slovak nation, her past, her present and her future. The thesis seeks to answer the question of who created this culture during the 1980s and 1990s and how and why they did so. To answer these questions this thesis adopts a cultural approach and explores how this culture was created utilising the concepts of collective memory, symbols and events as its main analytical tools. The data for this analysis include, but are not restricted to, materials produced in relation to various commemorative events and pilgrimages, especially those related to the leading national Catholic symbols: the National Patroness Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows and Saints Cyril and Methodius. The thesis argues that this culture was deliberately constructed from the point of view of many actors.

    Territory, Place, and Identity in Slovak Church-state Conflict: 1948-1989 By Brett R.

Chloupek certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Territory, Place, and Identity in Slovak Church-state Conflict: 1948-1989 ________________________________ Dr. Shannon O’Lear - Chairperson Date approved: 7-13-11 ii Abstract This paper focuses on the development and utilization of a conceptual framework for studying religion from a spatial perspective, drawing on themes and methodologies from human geography. The goal of this research is to help reconnect the geography of religion as a subdiscipline with broader themes in the discipline. Through an examination of Catholicism in Slovakia between 1948 and 1989, it examines how the Church utilized and organized geographic space, how it crafted a Catholic sense of place, and how the Communist government in Slovakia competed with the Church for authority and control within these spatial 'realms.' Examining issues of territoriality, power relations, and identity formation at a number of spatial scales, ranging from the local to the international, the paper attempts to show their interrelation. This project draws on a collection of primary documents obtained from state and ecclesiastic archives in Eastern Slovakia.
