This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph (6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that Congregation. The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Vocation Story My First Memory As Regards Religious Vocation Would Be
    Vocation Story My first memory as regards religious vocation would be from about the time I was 6 or 7. Not that far away from our house, just in a suburban street, was a small chapel, maybe a United Reformed Church or something like that. It was just like a little brick hall and didn’t look like a church as we would imagine it. I can’t recall anyone going in or out of it or it ever showing any signs of life inside. Once when we were walking by I asked my Mum ‘who goes there and what do they believe?’ This was in pre- ecumenical days and my Mum was rather dismissive of the question and didn’t really enter into the conversation. Somehow the idea of a place of worship for different people, for people who worshipped God in a different way, intrigued my young mind. It is hard to say what it was that aroused my curiosity but even to this day places of worship – Methodist Chapels, Unitarian Churches, Kingdom Halls, Mosques and Temples – still intrigue me. When I was about 14 or 15 our family went on holiday to Salcombe in Devon, a very nice place on a beautiful estuary. One day I was sitting on the harbour wall doing nothing and there was an old fisherman nearby talking to a young boy. He was telling the boy that there is a place in the Bible describing a visitation from God and if you draw exactly what is described there you come out with a picture of a modern day space rocket in all its details.

The hidden life continues even after death, in the cemeteries of our Charter- houses. However, some have been recognized as Saints or Blesseds by the Church. Usually this took place by a so-called ‘equipollent’ or ‘equivalent canonization’: “An authorization of public veneration pronounced by the Pope in consequence of the existence of certain special conditions” (D.

Recommended Reading, Further Information and Final Reflection Introduction Our life shows that the good from heaven is already to be found on earth; it is a precursor of the resurrection and like an anticipation of a renewed world. (Carthusian Statutes 34.3) If a survey were to be conducted today in which people were asked about their knowledge of monastic life, they would probably say that the abbeys and monasteries in which nuns and monks live are to be found hidden away in the countryside in quiet places far away from modern cities. Although this is quite true in most cases, there are many religious who strive to live the monastic life in the heart of a city or other urban surroundings. Good examples would include the Tyburn Nuns in Marble Arch, London, the Carmelite Monastery, Allerton in the city of Liverpool or the gargantuan Monastery of The Holy Cross in Chicago. We might be inclined to think that “urban monasticism” is a purely modern invention, but would be wrong in doing so because many monasteries in medieval England were situated in or near cities and towns, both by accident and design.

This is a published series of letters that Abbot Denis wrote to all the monks and nuns of the monastic Congregation to which Pluscarden belongs. This now bears the title “Subiaco Cassinese Congregation”. Until a few years ago it was called the “Subiaco Congregation”. Abbot Denis was Abbot President of the Subiaco Congregation from 1980 until 1988. A monk and former Abbot of the Abbey of La Pierre qui Vire, he died only last year, in his hundred and first year and his seventy-first year of monastic life. His teaching, contained in these letters, has become part of the spiritual patrimony of our Congregation. Abbot Denis begins his first letter with a reflection on the name of the Congregation, “Subiaco”. Subiaco is of course the place where St Benedict began his monastic life. He started as a hermit in a cave at Subiaco. After three years in the cave, he emerged to become first the leader of a monastic community, then the founder of twelve monasteries around Subiaco, before leaving Subiaco for Monte Cassino, where his monastic life and teaching reached full maturity and where he wrote the Holy Rule that still guides our life as Benedictines today.
