St. Stephen Harding - April 17
Co-founder of Cistercian Order (ca. 1050 - 1134)
Stephen Harding was born in Dorset, England. He was a speaker of English, Norman French, and Latin. He was placed in the abbey of Sherbourne at a young age, but eventually put aside the cowl and became a travelling scholar. He eventually moved to the abbey of Molesme in Burgundy, under the abbot Saint Robert of Molesme (c. 1027 - 1111).
When Robert left Molesme to avoid its corruption and laxity, Stephen and Saint Alberic went with him. They began a reform of the benedictine life now known as the Cistercian Order (often called Trappists). Unlike Alberic, Stephen was not ordered to return, and he remained in solitude with Robert. When twenty-one monks deserted Molesme to join Robert, Harding, and Alberic, the three leaders formed a new monastery at Citeaux.
Robert was initially abbot at Citeaux, returning to Molesme after a year. Alberic then took over, serving as abbot until his death in 1108. Stephen Harding …More

The Pope is one of the last intellectuals in high office

With the departure of Pope Benedict XVI, the IQ count of public life has collapsed. Along with his seriousness, shyness and charm, the former professor of Freising College, Bonn University, Tubingen University and Regensburg University, had that extremely rare quality – intellect.
Public office doesn't normally attract intellectuals. People who are obsessed with reading books are usually, like the Pope, rather shy and not by nature keen on the self-promotion and public appearances required of politicians.
High religious office is different. Although it produces the same public prominence, it doesn't necessarily require the same self-promoting, unintellectual, electioneering characteristics. It's striking that Rowan Williams is also, like the Pope, an intellectual.
That's not to say modern politicians aren't clever. David Cameron is the first Prime Minister since Harold Wilson to get an Oxbridge First; Harvard's Barack Obama is extremely intelligent, and a very good writer. But they're …More

Saint Robert de Molesmes Abbé, Fondateur de Cîteaux ( 1110) - le 17 avril.
Saint Robert de Molesme (v. 1029-1111) est un moine réformateur français, co-fondateur de l'ordre cistercien avec Albéric de Cîteaux et Étienne Harding.
Né à Troyes vers 1029, Robert était le cadet d'une riche famille noble de Champagne. Il commença son noviciat à 15 ans à l'abbaye bénédictine de Montier-la-Celle, dans le diocèse de Troyes, dont il devint ensuite prieur. Vers 1068, il est appelé par les moines de l'abbaye Saint-Michel de Tonnerre dans le diocèse de Langres pour être leur abbé. Fatigué des intrigues des moines, très hostiles à l'application exigeante de la règle bénédictine et constatant l'impossibilité d'introduire des réformes, il aspire vite à quitter sa charge. En 1073 il est prieur de Saint-Ayoul-de-Provins, dépendant de Montier-la-Celle. Il n'y passe que quelques mois. Le pape Alexandre II lui ordonne d'aller gouverner les ermites qui s'étaient joints à Albéric et retirés en quête de solitude …More

Abbaye de la Chaise Dieu - Région Auvergne - Le Monument Préféré des Français Saint Robert de Turlande fonde au XXIème un petit ermitage mais très vite les vocations affluent et très rapidement ce petit lieu devient une abbaye bénédictine réputée. L’abbaye de La Chaise-Dieu fermera à la révolution en 1790. L’église abbatiale devient ensuite paroissiale. Le pape Clément VI a confié les travaux à Hugues Morel, qu’il faisait travailler à la construction du palais d’Avignon : on y retrouve les mêmes contreforts et surtout la nef de l’église a le même plan que la chapelle pontificale. C’est un modèle d’architecture romane. Sa Danse macabre montre un angle intéressant des différentes classes de population de l’époque sa tapisserie de L'Apparition du Christ à Marie-Madeleine, et 144 stalles merveilleusement sculptées entourent le tombeau de Clément VI. Mais sa plus grande curiosité reste sa Salle des échos qui présente une acoustique très particulière. Les frères de la communauté Saint Jean …More

Blessed Mariana of Jesus - A Woman of Deep Prayer and Humility - April 17
Order of Mercy | Mercedarian Friars USA - Blessed Mariana of Jesus was a Third Order Mercedarian who lived in 16th century Spain. Video Transcript In 1565, during the height of the golden age of Spain, Mariana Navarro Romero was born into a well-to-do family in Madrid. When she was still a child, her mother died. Rather than give Mariana the attention that she needed, her father focused his interests on a new wife. Sadly, the stepmother treated her coldly. Mariana was the oldest of six children and the only girl. She took care of her five younger brothers, which was no small task. However, she did it with great love. Mariana grew up to be a beautiful and pious woman. Even though her father desired her to marry, she turned down a marriage proposal at the age of 23. Mariana's desire was to be married to Jesus Christ, devoting her life to Him alone. Her relatives did not understand her decision. For ten years, they …More
