Guillaume Durand, or William Durand (1230 – 1296), also known as Durandus, Duranti or Durantis, from the Italian form of Durandi filius, as he sometimes signed himself, was a French Canonist and Liturgical Writer, and Bishop of Mende, France.
He was born at Puimisson, near Béziers, France, of a noble family of Languedoc. He studied Law at Bologna, with Bernardus of Parma, and by about 1264 was teaching Canon Law, with success, at Modena, Italy.
Pope Clement IV, another Frenchman, called him to the Pontifical Court as a Chaplain and Auditor of the Palace, and in 1274 he accompanied Clement's successor, Pope Gregory X, to the Second Council of Lyons, the Constitutions of which he helped draw up. As spiritual and temporal Legate of the patrimony of Saint Peter, he received in 1278, in the name of the Pope, the homage of Bologna and of the other cities of Romagna.
Pope Martin IV made him Vicar Spiritual in 1281, then Governor of Romagna and of the March of Ancona (1283). In the midst of the struggles between Guelfs and Ghibellines, Durandus successfully defended the Papal Territories, both by diplomacy and by arms. Pope Honorius IV retained him in his Offices and, although elected Bishop of Mende in 1286, he remained in Italy until 1291. In 1295, he refused the Archbishopric of Ravenna, which was offered him by Pope Boniface VIII, but accepted the task of pacifying his former Provinces of Romagna and the March of Ancona. In 1296 he withdrew to Rome, where he died. His tomb is in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

Durandus' principal work is the Speculum iudiciale, which was compiled in 1271, and revised in 1286 and 1291. It is a general explanation of civil, criminal and canonical procedure, and also includes a survey of the subject of contracts. It is a remarkable encyclopedical synthesis of Roman and Ecclesiastical Law, distinguished by its clarity, its method, and especially its practical sense, and its repute was as great and lasting in the courts as in the schools.
It won Durandus the nickname of Doctor Speculator. It was commented upon by Giovanni Andrea (in 1346), and by Baldus. In 1306, Cardinal Béranger drew up an alphabetical table of its contents (Inventorium). There are many manuscripts of the Speculum, and several editions, of which the most usual is that of Turin, in 1578, in 2 volumes, containing all additions - among them those by Giovanni d'Andrea, and tables. This edition was reproduced at Frankfurt in 1612 and 1668.
Another important work by Durandus was the Rationale divinorum officiorum, a Liturgical treatise written in Italy before 1286, on the origin and symbolic sense of the Christian Ritual. It presents a picture of the Liturgy of the 13th-Century in the West, studied in its various forms, its Traditional sources, and its relation to the Church buildings and furniture. With Martène's De antiquis Ecclesiae ritibus, it is the main authority on the Mediaeval Western Liturgies. It has run through various editions since its first publication in 1459.

The other important works of Durandus comprise:
Repertorium iuris canonici (Breviarium aureum), a collection of citations from Canonists on questions of controversy, often published along with the Speculum;
Commentarius in sacrosanctum Lugdunense concilium (ed. Fano, 1569), of especial value owing to the share of Durandus in the elaboration of the Constitutions of this Council (1274), and inserted by Pope Boniface VIII in the Sextus.
His nephew, also called Guillaume Durand, was also a Canonist. Guillaume Durand the Younger, a later Bishop of Mende, was an advocate of ecclesiastical reform at the Council of Vienne, France.

It was commissioned by the Confraternità dei Cavalieri di San Luigi di Palazzo, who presented an annual Good Friday Meditation in honour of The Virgin Mary. Pergolesi's work replaced one composed by Alessandro Scarlatti, only nine years before, but which was already perceived as "old-fashioned," so rapidly had public tastes changed.

Recognised as one of the greatest Baroque composers, his influence during his lifetime was widespread over Europe. Vivaldi is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin, as well as sacred choral works and over forty operas. His best known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons.
Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children, where Vivaldi had been employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also had some success with stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for preferment. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival and Vivaldi died less than a year later.
Though Vivaldi's music was well received during his lifetime, it later declined in popularity until its vigorous revival in the first half of the 20th-Century. Today, Vivaldi ranks among the most popular and widely recorded of Baroque composers.

Outside of Sundays and festive holidays, the work was displayed with the outer wings closed, and was often covered with a cloth. The work was commissioned from Hubert van Eyck, about whom little is known. Hubert was most likely responsible for the overall design, but died in 1426. It seems to have been principally executed and completed by his younger and better known brother, Jan van Eyck, between 1430 – 1432.
Although there have been extensive attempts over the centuries to isolate the passages attributable to either brother, no separation has been convincingly established. Today, most accept that the work was probably designed and constructed by Hubert, and that the individual panels were painted by Jan, after his return from diplomatic duties in Spain.

It was officially installed on 6 May 1432 to coincide with an official ceremony for Philip the Good. It was later moved for security reasons to the principal Cathedral Chapel, where it remains. While indebted to the International Gothic as well as both Byzantine and Romanic traditions, the Altarpiece represented a "new conception of art", in which the idealisation of the Mediaeval tradition gave way to an exacting observation of nature and un-idealised human representation.

A now lost inscription on the frame stated that Hubert van Eyck, maior quo nemo repertus (greater than anyone), started the Altarpiece, but that Jan van Eyck – calling himself arte secundus (second best in the art) – completed it in 1432.
The original, very ornate, carved outer frame and surround, presumably harmonising with the painted tracery, was destroyed during the Reformation; there has been speculation that it may have included clockwork mechanisms for moving the shutters and even playing music.

The upper register of the opened view shows a Deësis of Christ the King, Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. They are flanked by images of Angels singing and playing music, and, on the outermost panels, Adam and Eve. The lower register of the central panel shows the adoration of the Lamb of God, with several groups in attendance or streaming in to worship, overseen by the dove of the Holy Spirit.

Since its creation, the Altarpiece has been considered one of Northern European art's masterpieces and one of the world's treasures. Over the centuries, the panels have come close to being destroyed during outbreaks of iconoclasm, been moved and damaged by fire, while some have been sold, and others taken during wars.
After all the panels were again returned to Saint Bavo Cathedral, following World War I, in 1934, the lower left panel, The Just Judges, was stolen. The panel has not been recovered. In 1945, after the Altarpiece was returned from Germany, having spent much of World War II hidden in a salt mine, which greatly damaged the paint and varnishes, Jef Van der Veken produced a copy of the stolen panel, as part of an overall restoration effort.

The first chapter of "In Flanders Fields and Other Poems", a 1919 collection of McCrae's works, gives the text of the poem as follows:
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Bleuet de France.

Armistice Day is one the most important military celebrations in France, since it was a major French victory and the French paid a heavy price in blood to achieve it. The First World War was considered in France as the "Great Patriotic War". Almost all French villages feature Memorials dedicated to the Fallen. In France, the blue Cornflower (Bleuet de France) is used symbolically, rather than the Poppy.

Psalm CXXIX
De Profundis
Out of the depths I have cried unto Thee, O Lord !
Lord, hear my voice.
Let Thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplication.
If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark iniquities,
Lord, who shall endureth ?
For with the Lord there is merciful forgiveness,
And by reason of Thy law I have waited upon Thee, O Lord.
My Soul doth rely on His word:
My Soul doth hope in the Lord.
From the Morning Watch, even unto night,
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him plentiful redemption.
And He shall redeem Israel,
From all his iniquities.
V. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine:
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes:
In vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine:
Domine, quis sustinebit ?
Quia apud te propitiatio est:
Et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus:
Speravit anima mea in Domino.
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem:
Speret Israel in Domino.
Quia apud Dominum misericordia:
Et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israel,
Ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.
V. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
R. Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Delville Wood was sometimes known as Devil's Wood, and the fighting there during the Battle of the Somme was particularly ferocious. The majority of the wood was eventually taken by South African soldiers on 15 July 1916, and they held on grimly during numerous German counter-attacks for six days, until they were relieved.
After the War, South Africa purchased the site in 1920, and it serves as a Memorial to those of that nation who fell, not just there, but elsewhere.

Remembrance Day Ceremony.
The Great War of 1914 to 1918 was one of the most devastating events in human history. New Zealand, with a population of 1.1 million in 1914, sent 100,000 men and women abroad. 16,700 died and over 40,000 were wounded – a higher per capita casualty rate than any other country involved.
The coming of Peace, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, brought Blessed relief for all involved.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

Pope Pius XII, born Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli (2 March 1876 – 9 October 1958), was the Head of the Roman Catholic Church from 2 March 1939 to his death in 1958. He is the most recent Pope to take the Pontifical name of "Pius", upon his election. His Pontificate coincided with the Second World War and commencement of the Cold War.
Before election to the Papacy, Papa Pacelli served as Secretary of the Department of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, Papal Nuncio to Germany (1917 – 1929), and Cardinal Secretary of State, in which capacity he worked to conclude treaties with European and Latin American nations, most notably the Reichskonkordat with Nazi Germany, with which the Vatican sought to protect the Church in Germany, and Hitler sought the destruction of 'political Catholicism'.
A pre-war critic of Nazism, Pius XII lobbied world leaders to avoid war and, as Pope at the outbreak of war, issued Summi Pontificatus, expressing dismay at the invasion of Poland, reiterating Church teaching against racism and calling for Love, Compassion and Charity to prevail over war.

After the war, Pius XII advocated peace and reconciliation, including lenient policies towards Axis and Axis-satellite nations. The Church experienced severe persecution and mass deportations of Catholic Clergy in the Eastern Bloc. In light of the Pope's overt involvement in Italian politics — anyone who voted for a Communist candidate in the 1948 elections was threatened with automatic excommunication — Pius XII became known as a staunch opponent of the Italian Communist Party.

Pius XII explicitly invoked ex cathedra Papal infallibility with the Dogma of the Assumption of Mary in his 1950 Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus. His Magisterium includes almost 1,000 addresses and radio broadcasts. His forty-one Encyclicals include Mystici Corporis, the Church as the Body of Christ; Mediator Dei on Liturgy Reform; and Humani generis on the Church's positions on theology and evolution. He eliminated the Italian majority in the College of Cardinals in 1946.
In the process toward Sainthood, he was made a Servant of God by Pope John Paul II in 1990. Furthermore, Pope Benedict XVI declared Pius XII Venerable on 19 December 2009.
