Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "O Blessed Confidence, O Safe Refuge, Mother of God and Our Mother!" St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033?1109), Doctor of the Church "What is not generally known and only infrequently studied is the role of Our Lady over the centuries as a catechist: teacher of the faith, in a very real sense, primary teacher because she is Mother of God and Mother of the Church and faithful If any one factor might be singled out for the very high level of faith and religious practice in medieval 'merry England' (merry, because Mary's dowry, because consecrated to Mary as her possession and property) it is this Marian catechesis. Only when England deliberately rejected Mary did it cease to be the happy place it once was. Unfortunately, English colonization of other peoples took place only after the repudiation of Mary by England. That is why this catechetical work is especially valuable for the faithful and those who are seeking faith in America and other English speaking cultures. It will bring to their attention precisely what is central to catechetics and so often missing, the presence of Mary, Mother and Teacher. It will make perfectly clear why we need not fewer Marian sanctuaries, but many, many more in all parts of the country where this quiet, but so real and profound influence of the Marian principle of the Church will be felt at every level. It is my prayer and hope that those who read and study this work will find the same inspiration and stimulus that I found in having the privilege to read the manuscript before publication. We are much indebted to Brother Anthony Josemaria Pasquale, a Franciscan Tertiary of the Immaculate and gifted scholar, for the effort he has expended to find qualified contributors and to offer so well edited a book to the general public." -From the Foreword by Father Peter M. Fehlner, FI, theologian, sponsor of the International Symposium on Marian Coredemption

My Mother has acquired from her Heart the title of 'Sorrowful' by sharing generously in all the sufferings of My Heart and My Body from the crib to the cross...The title of 'Sorrowful' belongs therefore to the Heart of My Mother, and more than any other, this title is dear to Her because it springs from the union of her Heart with Mine in the redemption of humanity."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Brilliant’ Financial Times ‘Hollis expertly weaves together the human tragedy and high politics behind the explosion of one of the world’s greatest cities’ Dan Snow The reclaimed history of a woman whose tragic life tells a story of madness, forced marriages and how the super-rich came to own London June 1701, and a young widow wakes in a Paris hotel to find a man in her bed. Within hours they are married. Yet three weeks later, the bride flees to London and swears that she had never agreed to the wedding. So begins one of the most intriguing stories of madness, tragic passion and the curse of inheritance. Inheritance charts the forgotten life of Mary Davies and the fate of the land that she inherited as a baby – land that would become the squares, wide streets and elegant homes of Mayfair, Belgravia, Kensington and Pimlico. From child brides and mad heiresses to religious controversy and shady dealing, the drama culminated in a court case that determined not just the state of Mary’s legacy but the future of London itself.

Book excerpt: Hilaire Belloc's landmark study Characters of the Reformation argues that Western Europe's break from the Catholic Church was driven by a land-grab and looting of Church property by European noblemen. Belloc has little admiration for the so-called leaders of the time and credits the Reformation to behind-the-scenes players.

Download or read book Our Lady s Dowry written by T. Birdgette and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England obtained the name of Our Lady's Dowry, not precisely because of special devotion, but by the solemn consecration that her King Richard II. had made of his dominions; and that, since this consecration has never been retracted, England remains still Dos Mariae. To my rejoinder that not merely England's monarchs, but the great majority of the nation, had, de facto, in every possible way repudiated this consecration to Our Lady, as well as the devotion that led to it, he would scarcely listen. He neither knew, nor could bear to know, anything of the sacrileges and blasphemies of those outside. Our Lady had always her faithful few, and they had never forfeited their glory or their rights. I promised, therefore, to remove what might give pain to the chivalrous, by omitting the second member of my title, on condition that I should at the same time show that I had not been the first to write as if England had lost her ancient glory, not indeed de Jure, but de facto. The following short catena of passages from Catholic writers since the Reformation will show that both Mr. Waterton's view and my own-if there is really any difference-may claim precedents.1. Mr. Waterton, who has carefully investigated the origin of the title Dower or Dowry of Mary, was led to the conclusion that it arose from an act of donation or consecration made by King Richard II. This conclusion rests mainly on a picture formerly in the English College at Rome. He regretted that he could neither trace its history nor ascertain any details about it'. Since the publication of his book and my own, I have been fortunate enough to discover a document which will supply the desired information to some extent. A manuscript in the British Museum, written early in the reign of James 1, of a violent anti-Catholic nature, contains what appears to be a Verbatim transcript of a broadside or leaflet then, or very lately, in circulation among Catholics.2. In 1651 the Rev. Father Edward Worseley published A Brief Explication of the Office of the Blessed Virgin's In his dedicatory epistle to Lady Throckmorton, he says: 'I made choice to compose this work in honour of the most Blessed Virgin, Mother of God, whose Dowry our own now distracted country was sometimes not undeservedly stiled, both in respect of the peculiar devotion our religious predecessors, above other nations of the Christian world, bore towards her, and her reciprocal procuring, by her powerful intercession, innumerable select favours for them "3. Father Claude de la Colombiere, in a sermon preached before the English Court, exclaimed: O England, unhappy England! thou art an example of the truth of the saying, "The abuse of grace leadeth to obduracy! " I will not dwell on the honours received by the Mother of God at the hands of Englishmen in other days, nor speak of their devotion to the Queen of angels, so great that England in those days was called the portion or dowry of Mary.'s4. The author of a book called Primitive Christian Discipline not to be slighted, printed in 1658, exclaims: Miserable England, though sometime for a true professor of all virtue stiled: The Dowry of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, until brazen-faced heresy thus overwhelmed it.

Download or read book Masculinity and Marian Efficacy in Shakespeare s England written by Dr Ruben Espinosa and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masculinity and Marian Efficacy in Shakespeare's England offers a new approach to evaluating the psychological 'loss' of the Virgin Mary in post-Reformation England by illustrating how, in the wake of Mary's demotion, re-inscriptions of her roles and meanings only proliferated, seizing hold of national imagination and resulting in new configurations of masculinity. The author surveys the early modern cultural and literary response to Mary's marginalization, and argues that Shakespeare employs both Roman Catholic and post-Reformation views of Marian strength not only to scrutinize cultural perceptions of masculinity, but also to offer his audience new avenues of exploring both religious and gendered subjectivity. By deploying Mary's symbolic valence to infuse certain characters, and dramatic situations with feminine potency, Espinosa analyzes how Shakespeare draws attention to the Virgin Mary as an alternative to an otherwise unilaterally masculine outlook on salvation and gendered identity formation.
