Mark Haydu, LC The ceiling painting by Laureti, The Triumph of Religion, is found in the Constantine Room of the Vatican papal apartments. It is a symbolic celebration of the triumph of Christianity over paganism, set in a classical architectural space. The remains of a crushed Hermes lie broken in pieces on the floor, while a crucifix of Jesus Christ sits upon the pedestal. It is fitting that this painting crowns the papal hall honoring Constantine, the first Roman emperor to leave paganism and be baptized a Christian. Constantine had four basilicas built in RomeN including St. Peter’sNand gave Christians freedom of religion in the Roman Empire. The message is clear. The Romans worshiped statues of gods who were mere human creations and projections. In the statue’s place is not just another statue but a crucifix that reminds us of a reality, a historical event. God himself became human in Jesus Christ and showed his divine strength by emptying himself and being crushed by our sins in order to forgive and win back a rebellious humanity. This show of godly power through weakness is foolishness to the Gentiles and inconceivable to the Jews. Yet this humility and love is the wisdom that confounds and the strength that saves. Religion isn’t a business or human invention for personal enthronement. Jesus overturns this idea like he overturns the moneychangers’ tables. Worship of God is all about accepting his initiative and humbly responding in the obedience of faith and the purifying joy of love. + Religion isn’t a business or human invention for personal enthronement. How does my faith foster humility in me? Are my Lenten practices helping me to be purified from sin? Lenten Church Schedule: Monday: 8:00 AM Mass, church open until 1 PM.

She was the member of an aristocratic family and the daughter of a diplomat to the Marquis of Ferrara. Catherine received a wonderful education in reading, writing, sing- ing and drawing while being raised at the court of the Duke of Ferrara. Catherine ex- celled in painting, Latin and the viola. When the daughter eventually married, she want- ed Catherine to remain in her service, but Catherine, feeling a calling to the religious life, left the court. In 1426, at 13yearsold, she entered the convent of Corpus Domini at Ferrara and became a Franciscan Tertiary. During this time, her convent disagreed in whether to continue following the Augustini- an rule or to instead adhere to the Franciscan rule. A Rule is a specific expression of the Christian life which calls the men or women of a particular religious order to a daily pattern of prayer, work and charity. Catherine was determined to live a life of perfection, and was admired by her companions for her holiness. In 1432, Catherine and other young women of Ferrara founded a monastery of the Order of Poor Clares, an order founded by St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi. Catherine was openly willing to serve the more humble roles in the convent. She was a laundress, a baker and a caretaker for the animals. Through her efforts with Pope Nicholas V, the Poor Clare convent at Ferrara erected an enclosure, and Catherine was appointed Superioress. That office made her responsible for providing pastoral care and spiritual oversight to all of sisters. The reputation of the Community for its holiness and austerity became widespread. In 1456, Catherine returned to Bologna with her superiors and the governors there requested she found a second monastery of the same Order and be the Abbess of the convent. Catherine continued to paint and to write beautiful spiritual guides and poetry. She wrote the Treatise on the 7 Spiritual Weapons Necessary for Spiritual Warfare. Her painting of St. Ursula remains on display in a Venice gallery. Throughout her life, Catherine experienced visions of both Jesus Christ and Satan, which she documented in her treatise. In one instance, she had the baby Jesus placed in her arms by the Blessed Virgin Mary. During the Lenten season of 1463, Catherine became seriously ill, and on March 9th she passed away. She was buried without a coffin and her body was exhumed eighteen days later because of many cures attributed to her at her graveside and the sweet scent coming from her grave.

This image depicts the goddess and her nymphs actively engaged in various activities. This portrayal is drastically different from common depictions of the time period, in which the goddess is portrayed as vulnerable, weak, and subjected to male voyeurism.

  • The Sermons of Caterina Vigri and Franciscan Observantist Reform
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Sorelle Mie: The Sermons of Caterina Vigri and Franciscan Observantist Reform A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Kate Elizabeth Bush Washington, D.C. 2016 Sorelle Mie: The Sermons of Caterina Vigri and Franciscan Observantist Reform Kate Elizabeth Bush Director: Katherine L. Jansen, Ph.D. Caterina Vigri [St. Catherine of Bologna, (1413–1463)] was a Poor Clare novice- mistress and abbess. She is most noted by scholars for her spiritual autobiography, the Sette armi spirituali as well as the biography Specchio d’illuminazione, written by disciple Illuminata Bembo shortly after her death. This leader, recognized for her own sanctity, also composed numerous vernacular sermons to cultivate the holiness of her sisters, members of Clarissan communities at Ferrara and Bologna. Though these didactic addresses were never published during her lifetime, thirty-five are preserved in a manuscript entitled Vita, costumi, morte e miracoli della Beata Catherina da Bologna, compiled by apostolic protonotarius Paolo Casanova in 1606. This dissertation uses Caterina’s sermons as well as the Ordinazione (her commentary on the Rule of St. Clare) to examine her role in the Franciscan Observant Reform Movement of the fifteenth century. By explicating how daily spiritual life functioned in Caterina’s houses, this project fills a lacuna in the current scholarship on Clarissan reform in Italy. Studies on this movement, where they exist, often focus on broad institutional narratives instead of such quotidian reform activities.
