Dear
marriage supporter,
As
the big vote in the House of Commons approaches (Tue. 5 Feb), it’s easy to
forget that on 3 May 2010 – just three days before the last general election –
David Cameron said on TV that he was “not planning” to change the definition of
marriage.
He
was being interviewed by Adam Boulton on Sky News, and was asked a direct
question about whether he would introduce gay marriage. He said: “I am not
planning that.” Gay marriage campaigners were furious, as this
article shows.
It
is outrageous that Mr Cameron went on TV just three days before a general
election and told voters one thing, but did the exact opposite once inside
Downing Street. His manifesto at the election was silent, so he has no mandate
to redefine marriage. His only mandate is to defend traditional marriage.
Please
read our latest briefing on the issue, and please share it with all your family
and friends.
The
Coalition for Marriage is doing all it can ahead of the Second Reading vote on
Tuesday.
Yours
sincerely,
Colin
Hart

Three Lives Saved
Today at the abortion clinic here in Lincoln, Nebraska, we had the great joy of saving three lives! That’s right, three women, after seeing people praying outside the abortuary, decided not to kill their child, but to let it live! This is the result not only of prayer, but also of having a visible presence outside the abortion clinic. All these women and children need our prayers and certainly the graces they received were obtained by prayers in one form or another, but if our counsellors had not been there to talk to the ladies and offer them support, if Our Lady’s Army had not been there praying and giving visible encouragement, who knows but that those three precious lives might by now have been snuffed-out.
If you are in the Lincoln area and can make it to the Lincoln abortuary on a Tuesday, please do come out and join us in praying for an end to abortion and for the women and children who are harmed by abortion. Who knows how many babies God will save from death if only there are enough people out there praying for it. Our Lady said at Fatima “Many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray for them.” Clearly we are not talking about hell for these innocent little babies, but could it not also be said: many babies are slaughtered each day by abortion BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO PRAY FOR THEM? If you are not in the Lincoln area or cannot make it but know people who could please share this with your friends so that we can get an many people out there praying for mothers and their children as possible.

The Cathedral ceased to be an Abbey during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when all religious houses were suppressed. Canterbury surrendered in March 1539 and reverted to its previous status of 'a college of Secular Canons'. The New Foundation came into being on 8 April 1541.
18th-Century to the present.
The original Norman North-West Tower, which had a lead Spire until 1705, was demolished in 1834, due to structural concerns. It was replaced with a Perpendicular-style twin of the South-West Tower, now known as the "Arundel Tower"'. This was the last major structural alteration to the Cathedral.The Cathedral is the Regimental Church of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment.
Furnishings.
In 1688, the joiner, Roger Davis, citizen of London, removed the 13th-Century misericords and replaced them with two rows of his own work on each side of the Choir. Some of Davis's misericords have a distinctly mediaeval flavour and he may have copied some of the original designs. When Sir George Gilbert Scott carried out renovations in the 19th-Century, he replaced the front row of Davis' misericords, with new ones of his own design, which seem to include many copies of those at Gloucester Cathedral, Worcester Cathedral and New College, Oxford.

Foundation.
The Foundation is the authorised staffing establishment of the Cathedral, few of whom are Clergy. The Head of the Cathedral is the Dean, currently the Very Reverend Robert Willis, who is assisted by a Chapter of twenty-four Canons, four of whom are residentiary, the others being honorary appointments of senior Clergy in the Diocese. There are also a number of Lay Canons, who altogether form the Greater Chapter, which has the legal responsibility both for the Cathedral and also for the formal election of an Archbishop, when there is a Vacancy-in-See. By English law and custom, they may only elect the person who has been nominated by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Foundation also includes the Choristers, Lay Clerks, Organists, King's Scholars, the Six Preachers and a range of other Officers; some of these Posts are moribund, such as that of the Cathedral Barber. The Cathedral has a full-time Workforce of 300 and, approximately, 800 volunteers.
Bells.
The South-West Tower (Oxford Tower) contains the Cathedral’s main ring of bells, hung for change ringing in the English style. There are fourteen bells – a ring of twelve with two semi-tones, which allow for ringing on ten, eight or six bells while still remaining in tune. All of the bells were cast in 1981 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry from seven bells of the old peal of twelve with new metal added, and re-hung in a new frame. The length (draught) of the ropes was increased by lowering the floor of the ringing chamber to the level of the South Aisle Vault at the same time. The heaviest bell of this ring weighs 34 cwt (1.72 tonnes). The Ringers practice on Thursday at 7.30 p.m.

In 1316, Prior Henry of Eastry gave a large bell, dedicated to St Thomas, which weighed 71½ cwt (3.63 tonnes). Later, in 1343, Prior Hathbrand gave bells dedicated to Jesus and Saint Dunstan. At this time the bells in campanile were rehung and their names recorded as “Jesus”, “Dunstan”, “Mary”, “Crundale”, “Elphy” (Alphege) and Thomas”. In the great earthquake of 1382, the campanile fell, destroying the first three-named-bells. Following its reconstruction, the other three bells were rehung, together with two others, of whose casting no record remains.

The Church of the Holy Innocents is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 126 West 37th Street at Broadway, Manhattan, New York City.
History
The parish was established in 1868. The present edifice was completed in 1870, using the Gothic Revival style of architecture. The first pastor engaged Constantino Brumidi to create a monumental fresco over the main altar. He later decorated the Great Rotunda of the U. S. Capitol Building.

In the early years, cows roamed the streets and open pastures around Holy Innocents. As the city rapidly expanded northward, the community, known as the "Tenderloin", teemed with immigrants from Europe.
By the early 1900s, the area was known for newspaper publishing (The New York Herald) and theatres (The Metropolitan Opera House (39th St)). Holy Innocents was called the "actors' church". Eugene O'Neill, the playwright, was baptised in the Church in 1888. Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes had the Church build a twenty-storey storage and loft building at 135-9 West 36th Street in 1924, to designs by the eminent Emery Roth, 19 West 40th Street for $600,000.
Pastor Rev. Dr. Richard Brennan transferred here in 1890 from being pastor since 1875 of St. Rose of Lima's Old Church (New York City), after the death of the former pastor, Rev. Larkin.

Saint Timothy (17 A.D. - 97 A.D.)
(orthodox icon).
Bishop and Martyr.
Author: Unknown.
(Wikimedia Commons)
Timothy (Greek: Τιμόθεος; Timótheos, meaning "honouring God" or "honoured by God") was a 1st - Century Christian Bishop, who died around 97 A.D. The New Testament indicates that Timothy travelled with Saint Paul, who was also his mentor. He is addressed as the recipient of the Epistles to Timothy.
Saint Timothy is mentioned in the Bible at the time of Paul's second visit to Lystra, in Anatolia, where Timothy is mentioned as a "disciple". Paul calls Timothy his "own son in the faith". Timothy often travelled with Paul. Timothy's mother was Jewish and his father was Greek, but he had not been circumcised, and Paul now ensured that this was done, according to the text, to ensure Timothy’s acceptability to the Jews.
According to McGarvey, Paul performed the operation "with his own hand", but others claim this is unlikely and nowhere attested. He was ordained and went with Paul on his journeys through Phrygia, Galatia, Mysia,Troas, Philippi, Veria, and Corinth. His mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, are noted as eminent for their piety and faith, which indicates that they may have also been Christians. Timothy is praised by Paul for his knowledge of the Scriptures (in the 1st-Century, mostly the Septuagint; see Development of the New Testament canon - Clement of Rome), and is said to have been acquainted with the Scriptures since childhood.

That Timothy was jailed at least once during the period of the writing of the New Testament is implied by the writer of Hebrews mentioning Timothy's release at the end of the epistle. It is also apparent that Timothy had some type of stomach malady, owing to Paul's advice in 1 Timothy 5:23, counseling Timothy to "No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments."
Paul commanded Timothy to remain in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1), "I command you to stay there in Ephesus", to prevent heresy from infecting the church in Ephesus. Paul also gave Timothy instructions for establishing Elders and Deacons there. These very guidelines have become the commonly-used guidelines among churches across the world to this day.
According to later tradition, Paul consecrated Timothy as Bishop of Ephesus in the year 65 A.D., where he served for 15 years. In 97 A.D., (with Timothy dying at age 80), Timothy tried to halt a pagan procession of idols, ceremonies, and songs. In response to his preaching of the gospel, the angry pagans beat him, dragged him through the streets, and stoned him to death. In the 4th-Century, his relics were transferred to the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.
Timothy is venerated as an Apostle, Saint and Martyr by the Eastern Orthodox Church, with his Feast Day on 22 January. The Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints venerates Timothy, together with Titus, with a Memorial on 26 January. In the General Roman Calendar of 1962, his Feast, a Third Class Feast, is kept on 24 January. Along with Titus and Silas, he is commemorated by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Episcopal Church on 26 January. Timothy's Feast is kept by the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod on 24 January.
Saint Timothy, born at Lystra (Asia Minor), of a pagan father and a Jewish mother, was already a Christian when Saint Paul came to that town. Saint Paul, whose conversion we celebrate tomorrow, was struck by Timothy's holiness and took him as a companion on his travels.. Saint Timothy thereupon gave up everything and became his disciple (Gospel).
Saint Paul conferred on him full sacerdotal powers (Introit) and committed to his care the government of the Church of Ephesus. We read in the Epistle a passage of one of the two admirable Letters which his master wrote to him. Saint Timothy was stoned to death in his episcopal city (+ 97 A.D.).
Let us, with Timothy, confess the Divinity of Christ in this Season after Epiphany, which is its Liturgical manifestation.

Priors of Christ Church Priory included John of Sittingbourne (elected 1222, previously a Monk of the Priory) and William Chillenden, (elected 1264, previously Monk and Treasurer of the Priory). The Monastery was granted the right to elect their own Prior, if the Seat was vacant, by the Pope, and, from Pope Gregory IX, onwards, the right to a free election (though with the Archbishop overseeing their choice).
Monks of the Priory have included Æthelric I, Æthelric II, Walter d'Eynsham, Reginald fitz-Jocelin (admitted as a Confrater, shortly before his death), Nigel de Longchamps and Ernulf. The Monks often put forward candidates for Archbishop of Canterbury, either from among their number or outside, since the Archbishop was nominally their Abbot, but this could lead to clashes with the King and/or Pope, should they put forward a different man, examples are the elections of Baldwin of Forde and Thomas Cobham.

Early in the 14th-Century, Prior Eastry erected a stone Choir Screen, and his successor, Prior Oxenden, inserted a large Five-Light Window into St Anselm's Chapel. The Cathedral was seriously damaged by an earthquake in 1382, losing its bells and Campanile.
From the Late-14th-Century, the Nave and Transepts were rebuilt, on the Norman foundations in the Perpendicular style. In contrast to the contemporary rebuilding of the Nave at Winchester, where much of the existing fabric was retained and re-modelled, the Piers were entirely removed, and replaced with less bulky Gothic ones, and the old Aisle walls completely taken down, except for a low "Plinth" left on the South Side.
More Norman fabric was retained in the Transepts, especially in the East Walls, and the old Apsidal Chapels were not replaced until the Mid-15th-Century. The Arches of the new Nave Arcade were exceptionally high in proportion to the Clerestory. The new Transepts, Aisles and Nave were roofed with Lierne Vaults, enriched with Bosses. Most of the work was done during the Priorate of Thomas Chillenden (1391–1411): Chillenden also built a new Choir Screen at the East End of the Nave, into which Eastry's existing Screen was incorporated. The Norman stone floor of the Nave, however, survived until its replacement in 1786.

In about 1430, the South Transept Apse was removed to make way for a Chapel, founded by Lady Margaret Holland and dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. The North Transept Apse was replaced by a Lady Chapel, built in 1448 - 1455.

The hymn remains in regular use in the Catholic Church in the Office of Readings found in the Liturgy of the Hours, and in thanksgiving to God for a special blessing such as the election of a pope, the consecration of a bishop, the canonization of a saint, a religious profession, the publication of a treaty of peace, a royal coronation, etc. It is sung either after Mass or the Divine Office or as a separate religious ceremony. The hymn also remains in use in the Anglican Communion and some Lutheran Churches in similar settings.
In the Traditional Office, the Te Deum is sung at the end of Matins on all days when the Gloria is said at Mass; those days are all Sundays outside Advent, Septuagesima, Lent, and Passiontide; on all feasts (except the Triduum) and on all ferias during Eastertide.
Before the 1962 reforms, neither the Gloria nor the Te Deum were said on the feast of the Holy Innocents, unless it fell on Sunday, as they were martyred before the death of Christ and therefore could not immediately attain the beatific vision. A plenary indulgence is granted, under the usual conditions, to those who recite it in public on New Year's Eve.
In the Liturgy of the Hours of Pope Paul VI, the Te Deum is sung at the end of the Office of Readings on all Sundays except those of Lent, on all Solemnities, including the Octaves of Easter and Christmas, and on all feasts. It is also used together with the standard canticles in Morning Prayer as prescribed in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, in Matins for Lutherans, and is retained by many other churches of the Reformed tradition.
Part of the setting of the Te Deum by Marc-Antoine Charpentier is the anthem of Eurovision. The instrumental prelude is played at the opening, intervals and closing of the show.
Authorship is traditionally ascribed to Saint Ambrose and Saint Augustine, on the occasion of the latter's baptism by the former in 387 A.D. It has also been ascribed to Saint Hilary, but Catholic-Forum.com says "it is now accredited to Nicetas, bishop of Remesiana; (4th-Century)".
The petitions at the end of the hymn (beginning Salvum fac populum tuum) are a selection of verses from the book of Psalms, appended subsequently to the original hymn.
The hymn follows the outline of the Apostles' Creed, mixing a poetic vision of the heavenly liturgy with its declaration of faith. Calling on the name of God immediately, the hymn proceeds to name all those who praise and venerate God, from the hierarchy of heavenly creatures to those Christian faithful already in heaven to the Church spread throughout the world. The hymn then returns to its Credal formula, naming Christ and recalling his birth, suffering and death, his resurrection and glorification. At this point the hymn turns to the subjects declaiming the praise, both the universal Church and the singer in particular, asking for mercy on past sins, protection from future sin, and the hoped-for reunification with the elect.
The text has been set to music by many composers, with settings by Haydn, Mozart, Berlioz, Verdi, Bruckner, Furtwängler, Dvořák, Britten, Kodály, and Pärt, among the better known. Jean-Baptiste Lully wrote a setting of Te Deum for the court of Louis XIV of France, and received a fatal injury while conducting it.
The prelude to Marc-Antoine Charpentier's setting (H.146) is well known in Europe on account of its being used as the theme music for some broadcasts of the European Broadcasting Union, most notably the Eurovision Song Contest. Sir William Walton's Coronation Te Deum was written for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Other English settings include those by Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Henry Purcell, and Edward Elgar, as well as three settings each by George Frideric Handel and Charles Villiers Stanford. Puccini's opera, Tosca, features a dramatic performance of the initial part of the Te Deum at the end of Act I.
A version by Father Michael Keating is popular in some Charismatic circles. Mark Hayes wrote a setting of the text in 2005, with Latin phrases interpolated amid primarily English lyrics. In 1978, British hymnodist, Christopher Idle, wrote God We Praise You, a version of the text in 8.7.8.7.D meter, set to the tune "Rustington". British composer, John Rutter, has composed two settings of this hymn, one entitled Te Deum and the other Winchester Te Deum. Igor Stravinsky set the first 12 lines of the text as part of The Flood in 1962. Antony Pitts was commissioned by the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music to write a setting for the 2011 10th Anniversary Festival. The 18th-Century German hymn, Großer Gott, wir loben dich, is a free translation of the Te Deum, which was translated into English in the 19th-Century as "Holy God, we praise thy name."

Te aeternum Patrem omnis terra veneratur.
Tibi omnes Angeli; tibi Caeli et universae Potestates.
Tibi Cherubim et Seraphim incessabili voce proclamant:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra majestatis gloriae tuae.
Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus;
Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus;
Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbem terrarum sancta confitetur Ecclesia:
Patrem immensae majestatis;
Venerandum tuum verum, et unicum Filium;
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu Rex gloriae. Christe.
Tu Patris sempiternus es Filius.
Tu ad liberandum suscepturus hominem,
non horruisti Virginis uterum.
Tu devicto mortis aculeo, aperuisti credentibus regna caelorum.
Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes in gloria Patris.
Judex crederis esse venturus.
Te ergo quaesumus, tuis famulis subveni,
quos pretioso sanguine redemisti.
Aeterna fac cum Sanctis tuis in gloria numerari.
Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine,
et benedic haereditati tuae.
Et rege eos et extolle illos usque in aeternum.
Per singulos dies benedicimus te.
Et laudamus nomen tuum in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Dignare, Domine, die isto sine peccato nos custodire.
Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri.
Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos,
quemadmodum speravimus in te.
In te, Domine, speravi:
non confundar in aeternum.
v. Benedicamus Patrem et Filium cum Sancto Spiritu.
r. Laudemus et superexaltemus eum in saecula.
Oremus
Deus, cujus misericordiae non est numerus et bonitatis infinitus est thesaurus, piissimae majestati tuae pro collatis donis gratias agimus, tuam semper clementiam exorantes, ut qui petentibus postulata concedis, eosdem non deserens, ad praemia futura disponas. Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
r. Amen.
