  • H E I L I G E 12 Apostel
    H e i l i g e 12 Apostel: Simon Petrus 1.) Heiliger, Apostel, Märtyrer † am 29. Juni 67 Beschützer u. Patron der Stadt u. des Bistums von Rom nach Chr. Gebürtig aus Bethsaida am See Genezareth in Galiläa als Sohn des Jona. Märtyrertod Er lebte später als Fischer mit seiner Frau u. seinen Eltern in Kafarnaum. Von Jesus erhielt er den Beinamen: Kephas ↔ Petrus ↔ der Fels. Jesus sagte: „Du bist Simon, Jonas Sohn; du sollst Kephas (der Fels) heißen“ (Joh. 1,42). Kephas ↔ Petrus ↔ der Fels (hebräisch: Kefas, griech. Petrus). Im Mätthäus-Evangelium sagt Jesus: „Du bist Petrus, auf diesen Felsen will ich meine Kirche bauen, und die Pforten der Hölle sollen sie nicht überwältigen“ (Mt. 16, 18-19). - Jesus „der Auferstandene“ fragte Petrus am See Gennesaret dreimal: „Simon, Sohn des Jona, liebst du mich mehr als diesen?“ Petrus antwortete dreimal: „Ja, Herr“ und dreimal erwiderte Jesus: „Weide meine Schafe“ (Joh. 21, 1-17). Die dreimalige Wiederholung vor Zeugen entsprach orientalischem Brauch, formell ein Recht auf eine Person zu übertragen. Jesus hatte dem Recht entsprechend seine Nachfolge, den Primat der geistlichen Führung der Christenheit auf Petrus übertragen, zu seinem Nachfolger seiner Kirche, dem Fundament des Papsttums, berufen.- Simon Petrus war Wortführer der Apostel. Im Verlauf seiner Missionsreisen traf Petrus 42 n. Chr. in Rom ein, nahm Wohnung im Judenviertel und wohnte von 43-51 im Haus des Senators Pudens. (Der Legende zufolge gaben die Töchter des Senators, Praxedis u. Pudentiana, in Rom zwei frühchristlichen Kirchen ihren Namen. Ihre Gräber wurden in der Priscilla-Katakombe identifiziert). Von Rom aus führte Petrus die entstehende Kirche, er konsekrierte erste Bischöfe u.

    De Nederlandse vertalingen van Italiaanse literatuur (1800-2000) Frans Denissen bron Frans Denissen, De Nederlandse vertalingen van Italiaanse literatuur (1800-2000). 2015 (niet eerder verschenen) Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/deni002nede01_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. Inleiding 1. Opzet Deze bibliografie is niet het werk van een professioneel geschoolde bibliograaf, maar van een enthousiaste amateur, zelf vertaler, die zich al bij voorbaat verontschuldigt voor de feilen en eigenzinnigheden die beroepsbibliografen er ongetwijfeld in zullen aantreffen. Zij wil een uitbreiding en een aanvulling zijn van de bibliografieën van Johannes Berg1. en Marina Warners2. en bevat de Nederlandse vertalingen van Italiaanse literatuur waarvan de eerste druk tussen 1 januari 1800 en 31 december 2000 in boekvorm (ook al is die term ruim opgevat) is verschenen. Een uitzondering op deze einddatum is gemaakt voor de in meerdere delen verschenen volledige werken waarvan de publicatie eind 2000 nog niet was voltooid (in casu de ‘Novellen voor een jaar’ van Pirandello, de ‘Toneelwerken’ van Dario Fo, de vertaling van de ‘Divina Commedia’ door Brouwer). Er is geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen zogenaamde ‘vertalingen’ en ‘bewerkingen’, omdat de grens tussen deze categorieën nauwelijks te definiëren valt en beide termen overigens in de loop van de behandelde twee eeuwen allerlei betekenisverschuivingen hebben ondergaan. Werken van Italiaanse auteurs die in andere talen dan het Italiaans (of een dialect ervan) geschreven zijn, worden niet opgenomen. Van Giacomo Casanova ontbreken dus bijvoorbeeld de vertalingen van zijn in het Frans gestelde Mémoires, maar is wel de vertaling van zijn oorspronkelijk Italiaanse Il duello aanwezig.

  • 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.

    La Sainte Famille Sexualité, filiation et parentalité dans l’Eglise catholique Il y a un peu plus de cinquante ans, le 8 décembre 1965, le pape Paul VI promulguait la constitution pastorale Gaudium et Spes. Ce document majeur du concile Vatican II, qui évoque largement la dignité du mariage et de la famille et insiste sur la place primordiale de l’amour conjugal, mettait fin à la doctrine nataliste absolue d’autrefois. Toutefois, moins de trois ans plus tard, l’encyclique Humanae Vitae vint réaffirmer la doctrine traditionnelle de l’Eglise en ce qui concerne la prohibition de la contraception artificielle. Ces documents sont le fruit de débat houleux VANDERPELEN-DIAGRE CECILE PAR EDITE ET SÄGESSER CAROLINE au sein de l’Eglise, autour de thèmes qui remontent aux origines du La Sainte Famille christianisme, telles la primauté du célibat ou du mariage, la fonction déterminante de la famille ou la liberté de l’individu, ou encore la relation Sexualité, filiation et parentalité comme concupiscence ou acte de filiation.
