Studebaker (1852–1967) was an American wagon and automobile manufacturer based in South Bend, Indiana. Founded in 1852, and incorporated in 1868 under the name of The Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the company was originally a producer of wagons for farmers, miners, and the military.

Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1902 with electric vehicles and, in 1904, with gasoline vehicles, all sold under the name "Studebaker Automobile Company". Until 1911, its automotive division operated in partnership with the Garford Company of Elyria, Ohio, and, after 1909, with The E-M-F Company.

The first gasoline automobiles to be fully manufactured by Studebaker were marketed in August 1912. Over the next fifty years, the company established a reputation for quality and reliability. After years of financial problems, in 1954 the company merged with luxury car-maker Packard to form Studebaker-Packard Corporation. However, Studebaker's financial problems were worse than the Packard executives thought. The Packard marque was phased out and the company returned to the Studebaker Corporation name in 1962.

The South Bend plant ceased production on 20 December 1963, and the last Studebaker automobile rolled off the Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, assembly line on 16 March 1966.

Pulcherrima rosa de spina floruit

Ex flore germinosa lilium genuit

Servans pudorem ex virgineo more

Peperit factura factura factorem.

Virgo singularis te nulla dignior

Fulgens stella maris luna lucidior

Sic succuristi regina mundo tristi

Eve matris sic quae noxam que solvisti.

Esto nobis grata tis aput filium

Mater advocata post hoc exilium

Nos per iuvamen pater natus ac flamen

Tuum mater virgo solvat omnes.

Amen.

Most Beautiful Rose blooming from a thorn

From the budding flower, a lily born

Serving modestly and in a Virginal way

The created one bore The Creator

Unique Virgin, no-one is worthy of you

Gleaming Star of the Sea, Light and the Moon

Serving modestly and in a Virginal way

The created one bore The Creator

Such succour Queen of this sad World

And Mother of Eve who lightens our punishment

Serving modestly and in a Virginal way

The created one bore The Creator

Freely for us, beside your Son, Mother and witness

After this Earthly exile

Serving modestly and in a Virginal way

The created one bore The Creator.

Saint Clement I. Pope And Martyr. Feast Day, Today, 23 November.

Saint Clement, a successor of Saint Peter, is named third in The Canon of The Mass, after The Apostles.

The Letter of Saint Clement to The Corinthians is one of the most precious documents of the earliest Christian Centuries.

Following the affirmation of Origen, The Roman Breviary confuses this Saint with another Clement, an auxiliary of Saint Paul. Wherefore, the Epistle chosen is that in which The Apostle speaks of the Clement who worked with him for the Gospel and whose name is written in The Book of Life.

On the testimony of The Greek Acts of Saint Clement, dating from the 4th-Century A.D., The Roman Martyrology likewise declares that "relegated to Chersonese during Trajan's persecution, he at last won the glorious Crown of Martyrdom, having been cast into the sea with an anchor attached to his neck." "His body," it adds, "was carried to Rome, under the Pontificate of Pope Nicholas I and Solemnly laid in the Church which had been built in his memory."

This Church, where The Station is held on The Monday of The Second Week in Lent, is one of the most interesting in Rome, because it most faithfully represents the ancient Plan of a Roman Basilica. It has, in front, an Atrium, or Courtyard, surrounded by Porticoes, with the Fountain in the centre, where the Faithful cleansed themselves before entering The Holy Building, and which is recalled by our Holy Water Stoups and Baptismal Fonts at the entrance of our Churches.

The Interior comprises three Naves, separated by Columns; the central Nave contains the Ambos, or Pulpits, where the Epistle and Gospel are read. The Lateral Naves were reserved, one for men, the other for women.

Behind the Altar, at the back of the Apse, stands the Bishop's Chair, around which was grouped the Clergy. It is the only Church which gives such a clear account of the distinctions made among Christians.

In the first precinct, were admitted Catechumens and Penitents, who could only be present at the first part of The Mass (from the Introit to the Offertory), thence called Mass of the Catechumens. In the second part were the Faithful, who heard the second part of The Mass (from the Offertory to the end), thence called Mass of the Faithful. In the Apse, was the place reserved for Priests, whence it is called Presbyterium. Christian architecture thus showed forth the hierarchy established by Divine Right in The Church.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

Ely Cathedral has its origins in 672 A.D., when Saint Etheldreda built an Abbey Church. The present building dates back to 1083, and Cathedral status was granted it in 1109. Until The Reformation, it was the Church of Saint Etheldreda and Saint Peter, at which point it was re-Founded as The Cathedral Church of The Holy and Undivided Trinity of Ely, continuing as the principal Church of The Diocese of Ely, in Cambridgeshire, England.

It is the Seat of The Bishop of Ely and a Suffragan Bishop, the Bishop of Huntingdon. Architecturally, it is outstanding, both for its scale and stylistic details. Having been built in a monumental Romanesque Style, the Galilee Porch, Lady Chapel and Choir were rebuilt in an exuberant Decorated Gothic Style. Its most famous feature, however, is the central Octagonal Tower, with Lantern, above, which provides a spectacular Internal space and, along with The West Tower, gives a unique Exterior landmark that dominates the surrounding landscape.

Church of Saint Cecilia, Trastevere, Rome, Italy.

In the sculpture, by Stefano Maderno (1576-1636), Saint Cecilia extends three fingers with her right hand and one with her left, testifying to The Trinity. The sculptor attested that this was how the Saint's body looked when her tomb was opened in 1599.

Born at Rome, of the illustrious family of the Coecilli,, Cecilia, as a child, consecrated her Virginity to God. When she was forced to marry Valerian, a young pagan, she said to him on the night of the wedding: "Valerian, I am placed under the guardianship of an Angel, who protects my Virginity; therefore, do not attempt anything which may bring down on thee God's anger."

Valerian dared not approach her and declared that he would believe in Jesus Christ if he saw the Angel. Cecilia assured him that this was impossible unless he was first Baptised, and sent him to Pope Urban I, who lived hidden in The Catacombs, on account of the persecutions.

Pope Urban I Baptised him and Valerian saw, near his Virginal Spouse, an Angel, brilliant with a Divine Light. Cecilia also instructed Tiburtius, the brother of Valerian, in the Faith of Jesus Christ, and Tiburtius, having been Baptised, also saw Cecilia's Angel. A short time after, both brothers were Martyred under the Prefect Almachius.

Finally, the last-named arrested Cecilia and ordered her to be put to death in her house. This was about 230 A.D.

Her body was discovered in 1599 by Cardinal Sfondrati, just as it was at the moment of her death. Stefano Maderno sculptured a famous reproduction of the body, which is seen under The High Altar of her Church in Rome.

Her house was transformed into a Church, where her body lies. For many Centuries, a number of Virgins of The Order of Saint Benedict have watched over this treasure. The Church is one of the two ornaments of The Trastevere, the other being Saint Mary's. Here is held The Station on The Wednesday in The Second Week of Lent. The name of Saint Cecilia is mentioned in The Canon of The Mass (Second List).

"To the sound of musical instruments," says The First Antiphon at Vespers, "the Virgin Cecilia sang to God in her heart." On this account, she has been chosen as The Patroness of Musicians.

Stir Up Sunday.

Text from FR. Z's BLOG

All Illustrations: FR. Z's BLOG

Today, 22 November, is The Last Sunday of The Church’s Liturgical Year. It is therefore . . .

STIR UP SUNDAY!

The “Stir Up” comes from the first words of the Traditional Collect in The Roman Rite. It also comes from the Tradition of stirring up the ingredients of The Christmas Pudding !

What are your plans for Christmas Pudding ?

The more important question is: What are MY plans for Christmas Pudding.

I must give this some thought.

UPDATE:

Since I will be moving to a new dwelling in the near future, I have been going through things.

I found a Christmas Pudding from TWO YEARS AGO, tucked away for ageing.

I would say that it is sufficiently Seasoned.

QUAERITUR:

Will it be lethal?

If not, maybe I won’t make one.

I invite input, especially from experts in Blighty.

“Cast Your Burden Upon The Lord, And He Will Sustain You”. On Cleaving To God. Albert The Great.

There, in the presence of Jesus Christ, with everything, in general and individually, excluded and wiped out, the mind alone turns in security confidently to The Lord its God with its desire.

In this way, it pours itself forth into Him in full sincerity with its whole heart and the yearning of its love, in the most inward part of all its faculties, and is plunged, enlarged, set on fire and dissolved into Him.

Certainly, anyone who desires and aims to arrive at, and remain in, such a state, must needs above all have eyes and senses closed and not be inwardly involved or worried about anything.

He should not be concerned or occupied with anything, but should completely reject all such things as irrelevant, harmful and dangerous.

Then he should withdraw himself totally within himself, and not pay any attention to any object entering the mind except Jesus Christ, The Wounded One, alone.

And so he should turn his attention with care and determination through Him into Him – that is, through the man into God, through the wounds of His humanity into the inmost reality of His Divinity.

Here, he can commit himself and all that he has, individually and as a whole, promptly, securely and without discussion, to God’s unwearying providence, in accordance with the words of Peter, cast all your care upon Him (1 Peter 5.7), Who can do everything.

And again. In nothing be anxious (Philippians 4.6), or what is more, Cast your burden upon The Lord, and He will sustain you (Psalm 55.22).

[…] The bride too in The Song of Songs says, I have found Him Whom my Soul loves, (Canticle 3.4) and again, All good things came to me along with her (Wisdom 7.11).

This, after all, is the hidden Heavenly Treasure, none other than The Pearl of Great Price, which must be sought with resolution, esteeming it in humble faithfulness, eager diligence, and calm silence before all things, and preferring it even above physical comfort, or honour and renown.

For what good does it do a Religious, if he gains the whole World but suffers the loss of his Soul? Or what is the benefit of his state of life, the holiness of his profession, the virtue of his Habit and Tonsure, or the outer circumstances of his way of life, if he is without a life of spiritual humility and truth in which Christ abides through a Faith created by love.

This is what Luke means by, The Kingdom of God (that is, Jesus Christ) is within you (Luke 17.21).

After having Solemnised, on 8 September, The Nativity of The Blessed Virgin, and, four days later, The Feast of The Holy Name of Mary, a name given to her a short time before her Birth, The Cycle celebrates on this day The Presentation in the Temple of The Child of Benediction.

These first three Feasts of Mary's Cycle are an echo of The Christological Cycle, which, likewise, celebrates: The Birth of Jesus, 25 December; The Imposition of His Holy Name, 2 January; and His Presentation in the Temple, 2 February.

The Feast of The Presentation of Mary is founded on a pious tradition, originated by two apocryphal Gospels, which relate that The Blessed Virgin was Presented in the Temple of Jerusalem, when three years old, and that she lived there, with other girls and the Holy Women, who had them in their care. Already in the 6th-Century A.D., the event is Commemorated in The East and the Emperor, Michael Comnenus, alludes to it in a Constitution of 1166.

A French nobleman, Philippe de Maizières, who was Chancellor at the Court of the King of Cyprus, having been sent in 1372 as Ambassador to Pope Gregory XI, at Avignon, related to the Pope with what magnificence The Feast was Solemnised in Greece, on 21 November. His Holiness introduced The Feast at Avignon and Pope Sixtus V introduced it at Rome in 1585. Pope Clement VIII raised it to the Rank of Greater-Double and re-arranged The Office.
