History of the Franciscan Movement
HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN MOVEMENT Volume 2 FROM THE YEAR 1517 TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL On-line course in Franciscan History at Washington Theological Union Washington DC By Noel Muscat OFM Jerusalem 2008 History of the Franciscan Movement. Volume 2: From 1517 to the Second Vatican Council Chapter 10 NEW REFORMS AND NEW DIVISIONS: THE BIRTH OF THE CAPUCHINS AND REFORMS WITHIN THE OBSERVANCE The friars “of the Holy Gospel” The Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance, after the union of all the reformed families in 1517, became a powerful religious family dedicated mainly to apostolic missions. A minority of friars, however, continued to insist upon living a simpler Franciscan life in the hermitages. Besides the Amadeiti and Coletani, there were other congregations which preferred eremitical life, like the Clareni and the friars “of the Holy Gospel” or Capuciati. This last religious family was one which the Bulla Ite vos of Leo X (1517) had not managed to integrate within the Order of the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance. They were born, as we have already seen, with the initiative of Juan de la Puebla, who had made an experience of Franciscan life in the Umbrian hermitages of central Italy, and then had returned to Spain, founding a congregation of friars who lived the literal observance of the Rule in the hermitages. Among his followers there was Juan de Guadalupe, who in 1508 obtained the approval of the Province “of the Holy Gospel”.1 The negative reaction of the Spanish Observants, who persecuted the new religious family, compelled the brothers of the Custody of Estremadura to place themselves under the obedience of the Conventuals in 1515, and thus became to be known by the name of “Reformed Conventuals”.2 They wore a short tunic with a pyramidal hood, and hence also the name Capuciati. -
The Castle and the Virgin in Medieval
I 1+ M. Vox THE CASTLE AND THE VIRGIN IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY RENAISSANCE DRAMA John H. Meagher III A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December, 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee BOWLING GREEN UN1V. LIBRARY 13 © 1977 JOHN HENRY MEAGHER III ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 11 ABSTRACT This study examined architectural metaphor and setting in civic pageantry, religious processions, and selected re ligious plays of the middle ages and renaissance. A review of critical works revealed the use of an architectural setting and metaphor in classical Greek literature that continued in Roman and medieval literature. Related examples were the Palace of Venus, the House of Fortune, and the temple or castle of the Virgin. The study then explained the devotion to the Virgin Mother in the middle ages and renaissance. The study showed that two doctrines, the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of Mary, were illustrated in art, literature, and drama, show ing Mary as an active interceding figure. In civic pageantry from 1377 to 1556, the study found that the architectural metaphor and setting was symbolic of a heaven or structure which housed virgins personifying virtues, symbolically protective of royal genealogy. Pro tection of the royal line was associated with Mary, because she was a link in the royal line from David and Solomon to Jesus. As architecture was symbolic in civic pageantry of a protective place for the royal line, so architecture in religious drama was symbolic of, or associated with the Virgin Mother. -

Franciscan Missionaries of Mary USA Province Volume 43 No
Franciscan Missionaries of Mary USA Province Volume 43 No. 4 Fall 2013 Lasagna Garden Our Lady of Lourdes Rose Garden St. Joseph Mary Garden EDITORS’ NOTES Every day, Pope Francis gives a homily based on the scripture readings of the day. These “down to earth” homilies are published on web sites and being read all over the world by per- sons of all religious beliefs as evidenced by remarks made on Twitter, Facebook and else- where. Here is how he began his homily on the story of the Good Samaritan. “I say to myself, and I say to you: do we let God write our lives? Or do we want to do the writing ourselves?” WOW! Does that ever hit home to this writer. How about you readers? Pope Francis continues: “Be docile to the Word of God … have the capacity to hear his voice and to listen to it.” Have any of you had the experience of being asked by Catholics, non-Catholics and those who claim no faith this question: “What do you think about Pope Francis?” Assuredly there is re- newed hope for our Church and beyond, thanks to Pope Francs.

Bæði St. Franciskussystur sem komu til landsins árið 1935 í þeim tilgangi að reisa þar sjúkrahús og einnig um Maríusystur sem tóku við klaustrinu árið 2009 þegar St. Franciskussystur fóru af landi brott. St. Franciskussysturnar voru einar af helstu atvinnurekendum bæjarins um nokkurt skeið þar sem þær þurftu aðstoð við byggingu sjúkrahússins og minnkuðu þar af leiðandi atvinnuleysi til muna. Á sjúkrahúsinu störfuðu þær sem hjúkrunarkonur, ljósmæður og aðstoðarkonur ásamt því að rækta grænmeti fyrir stofnunina, sáu um allan þvott og saumuðu allt sem þurfti fyrir sjúkrahúsið. St. Franciskussystur voru ekki trúboðar heldur voru þær í mannúðarstörfum. Þær ráku ekki einungis sjúkrahúsið heldur stofnuðu þær sumarbúðir fyrir börn í samstarfi við Rauða Krossinn sem leiddi til stofnunar leikskóla í bænum sem þær ráku til ársins 1997. Systurnar sinntu einnig sjálfboðastörfum á dvalarheimli aldraðra í bænum og gengu um bæinn og heimsóttu bæjarbúa. Þær létu ekki þar við sitja heldur stofnuðu einnig prentsmiðju þar sem þær sáu um framleiðslu á öllu trúlarlegu efni fyrir kirkjuna. -
Martyrology 12 09 19
Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically. -
