Church books dealing with the cult of saints: The reference work on the Holy Books of Provence ...


The book that I will present today, has absolutely no equivalency, will likely never do, so the Abbot Faillon work was conducted by unparalleled and unsurpassed. In their criticism of sacred and ecclesiastical history is a must!


This is a book in two volumes quarto. The original edition that I present is 1848. Various books in-8 and a few platelets were backed in this study, I pleased to offer hagiographers ... The first volume is devoted to Sainte Magdeleine, sister of Lazarus and Martha, the apostolate of St. Lazarus : Bishop of Marseille, Saint-Maximin : Bishop of Aix, and the lives of Saints Martha , Mary Jacobe and Salome. The second volume contains all the supporting documents as on the apostolate on the history of their worship. I recounts here life of Saint Martha , our holy Tarasconese so that during your next visit in our good city, you know as much as me ...


Martha, who gave hospitality Jesus, descended from royal blood and had the father and mother Eucharis Syrus. With her sister Martha owned three castles, Magdalon, Bethany and part of the city of Jerusalem. We can not find anywhere she married, she had no intercourse with any man. However, this noble hotel served the Lord and wanted his sister served him well. After the ascension of the Lord, when the apostles were scattered, she and her brother Lazarus, her sister Mary Magdalene, St. Maximin and who had baptized and which they had been entrusted by the Holy Spirit, with much Still others were made by infidels on a ship which was removed oars, sails and rudders, and any kind of food ... Editor of God, they arrived at Marseilles . From there they went to the territory of Aix where they converted all the people in the Faith.


There was, at that time on the banks of the Rhone, in a wood between Arles and Avignon, a dragon , half animal, half fish, thicker than beef, the longer that a horse, with teeth like swords and big as horns, who was armed on each side two shields. This dragon was hiding in the river where he took away the lives of all passersby and submerged vessels. Against his pursuers, he threw at the distance of an acre, its dung as a dart (the famous castoreum!). At the request of Tarascon, Martha went into the woods and find him eating a man. She threw him on the holy water and showed him a cross. At the same time, the monster tamed remained quiet as a lamb (when I find that people believe in slimming creams, "I see nothing, nothing surprising ...). St. Martha bound him with his belt and incontinent, he was killed by blows to the people blades and stones!


However, the locals called the Dragon Tarasque "and to commemorate this event this place is still called Tarascon, instead of Nerluc, which means saithe, because he was where dark woods and covered. It was at this spot that Saint Martha , with the permission of his master Maximin and his sister, now settled down and devoted himself tirelessly to prayer and youth with a circumflex. Later after collecting a large number of sisters, she built a basilica in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She led a life pretty hard, failing to fatty foods, eggs, cheese and wine, and eating only once a day (but 5 vegetables). Hundred times a day and many times the night she flexed knees to preach the gospel.


Saint Martha, sensing his impending death, prayed: "My dear host , keep your poor little servant, and as you have deigned to live with me, receive me well in your heavenly home " . The next day was a Sunday, as they celebrated with his Lauds: body, about the third hour, Our Lord appeared to Saint Front celebrating Mass at Perigueux, and who, after the Epistle, was asleep in his chair (the first one to laugh ...): "My dear Front, he said, if you want to accomplish what you once promised our hostess, get up quickly and follow-mo i ". Saint Front having obeyed the order, they came together in an instant, at Tarascon, where they sang psalms around the body of St. Martha and made the whole office with St. Trophime Arles and Saint Maximin of Aix together, like the Magi in Galilee after the star of the eyes of the shepherd ...


But later, as he was taking place many miracles at the tomb of Saint Martha, Clovis, king of the Franks, who had become a Christian and was baptized by St. Remy, suffered a large back pain. He came to the tomb of the saint and obtained a full recovery . Therefore, he endowed the place, which he gave the land of an area of around three miles to the banks of the Rhone, with farms and castles, by freeing all ... On the occasion of local elections will soon designate the future representatives of this territory, we were promised new miracles ... Pierre

church for the faithful. Books


Ten? Fifteen? ... An incredible list of names means churches books that revolve around more or less of the celebrations and are intended for the faithful!

begin chronologically with the Book of Hours . Do not look on your nightstand, they are stored on the shelves of the greatest national and international libraries! The Book of Hours was not intended to recite an Office in common, but the private devotion of the laity, although it was sometimes used as a family. It a collection of prayers and offices for use by the faithful who resembles his breviary by cutting hours. The first editions of Paris dating from 1485. At the end of the sixteenth century, but almost no published bibliophiles recognize them as masterpieces of the publishing industry.


There are three broad categories of texts in the Book of Hours: The essential texts, from the breviary with the calendar of religious festivals and holy psalms (of the penance, for example) and litanies in honor of God, the Virgin and Saints - Selected secondary texts in the four Gospel - and texts accessories, like prayers from a variety of popular piety, some of which may be in the vernacular. These texts were not subject to the approval of ecclesiastical authority making it the first books to church for the faithful. All other works will now be submitted to the imprimatur. Many of these books contain explanations and historical commentaries, liturgical, theological or spiritual.


The first of these is the missal or prayer book Paroissien is a book of prayers that are used primarily to monitor the agency's regular Mass is said in church. It is easily distinguished from the altar missal is often folio format. Certain times of the year was an opportunity for publishers to offer faithful works of great beauty. It certainly Office of Holy Week who has most inspired printers and bookbinders. There is no Ebayana who did this one, every Thursday, under a beautiful cherry morocco with arms of Louis XV!


Others are various prayer books called devotional books : Are gathered, prayers morning and evening meditations (including, at times, meditations during the celebration of the Mass), Stations of the Cross, litanies or Benediction. These books were available to girls and young men in schools, for example, to accompany their school life. If you find "flakes of gold" in your attic, they are for your children ...


There are also many biblical texts together in one collection as Psalms (Psalms of David) or extracts of the Gospels . Special mention Imitation is to confer and especially the Imitation of Christ . This work attributed to Thomas à Kempis or Gerson, monks of medieval times, is a Christian devotional book that is modeled on the life of Christ made of self-denial, humility and meditation. All translations of the Imitation of Jesus express the overwhelming drive to worship Christ. These books have had their moment of glory after Concordat when Catholic rites, having been undermined by the revolution, the church relied on these texts to rekindle the faith of the faithful. If

must speak of publishing success, in terms of church books, we must also mention the many editions of Sermons that marked the eighteenth century at a time when the Society of Jesus, was opposed in the pulpit , the priests of the Oratory (Bossuet, Massillon, Bourdaloue, etc ...).


I conclude this litany by the historical books which are the largest publishing books by church since the age of the publishing industry . The stories of the lives of the saints , the Jesuit life, the life of the Missionaries Of the Popes life and the lives of the faithful , themselves, are countless, often well connected and well illustrated. I urge you to collect them, especially those covered by bindings romantic ...

church for the clergy.


I take this opportunity to present two beautiful books to remind you what kinds of books are found under the heading of " church books "and what is their content. With this small class, necessarily schematic and incomplete, bibliopégimanes most exclusive bibliophiles will become enlightened. One can even imagine that some will no longer say: fine book ... but he errs by its content!

Everything is written in the title page, in fact! We must, as a first step, verify that there is no confusion between a book for clergy and a book for believers. It's more complicated than it seems ... You should know that the border between these two types of codes is not always clear and that nothing prevents a lay person to read a bible and a priest to have a book of hours in my pocket ... But this classification exists.

content of all these works is composed of prayers, readings mainly taken from the Bible and meditation subjects. We deal in a first post of the liturgical books reserved for the clergy, in a second ticket books for faithful then we will discuss the works of Christian spirituality and reflection. We will approach the Holy Bible last.

Books for clergy, religious and religious

The best known is the Missal. It is important to distinguish the missal for the celebrant (altar missal), the prayer book (or parishioner) for the faithful. The Missal is a liturgical book begins with the appearance in 1474. There were 1937 editions of the XIX century. Robert Amiet gives a supplement, published in 1990, 311 new missals or in any editions of 2248 ... So if you are collectors of missals, plan large shelves! To simplify, we can say that the missal allows the celebrant of the Mass say ordinary parishioner and to follow whatever the time of year. The Eucharist, sacrament by which the priest repeats the words and gestures of Christ at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday is the cornerstone of the celebration.


The breviary is a liturgical book that celebrates the Catholic Divine Office. It is a book of prayer that the daily rhythm of the priest. The Divine Office thus consists of the succession of Hours also called canonical hours. At regular intervals, the clerk stops in its activity to meditate on his breviary. This follows the liturgical calendar of the year in 4 parties correspondant aux saisons de l'année. Les principaux éléments qui le composent sont : Des psaumes, des cantiques bibliques, des hymnes, des lectures de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Testament, des commentaires des Pères de l’Église et la vie des saints. On y trouve, le plus souvent, l’office de vêpres du dimanche et des jours de fêtes, parfois les offices d’autres Heures ou leurs adaptations.


Le graduel est un livre liturgique catholique qui est un recueil des chants grégoriens qui peuvent être chantés à la messe ou comme le clergé régulier (les moines) plusieurs fois par jour pendant different offices. It may be in the form of antiphonal folio format. The musical notation of the liturgical books is the Gregorian, written at different times, brought on four or five lines. The notes are square. After Vatican II, the musical notation text is modern. Some of the most popular songs or some songs are sung during the Ordinary of the Mass and that is why we will find them in the parishioners.


Rituals are works for clerics to practice ceremonies outside of the Mass Ordinary. Jean-Baptiste Molin and Annik Aussedat répertorient-Minvielle, 1984, 2952 and rituals processionals French. The celebration of baptism is part of the ritual, for example. In addition, there is a ritual of the Eucharist outside Mass, used for communion to the sick. The marriage , the sacrament by which a man and a woman unite before God finally exchanging their consent is one. The funeral are not in the list but their celebration of the sacraments is part of the ritual. As many rituals as events where the presence of a cleric is essential So ...

Other works, more specific, there you will find the list on the web. I present a copy here with a Roman Vesper is a book containing the prayers of the evening (Vespers and Compline). Again, this book may seem destined exclusively to the priest, is not and this is clear from the preface where it is stated: It was important that this item was placed within reach of everyone: This book has become necessary for the priests serving the parishes and it is even more to the faithful who know the chant and sing to help the Office divine.


backs to the liturgical books, the priest or religious has access to other books church that will help him in his priesthood. This may be Psalters (collections of poetic prayers of the Bible, often already present in the breviary), Documents of the Catholic Church and religious journals, testimonies of Christians and for most scholars, works of theology (interpretation of sacred texts) or Patristics (the study of works of the fathers of the church). For information, the only Latin Patristics Abbe Migne comprises 217 volumes representing 297 567 pages and 2,614 authors and Greek Patristics, nearly 161 volumes in quarto!

The liturgical works are often presented in beautiful bindings strong, which delights the eye and does honor to the cult. Those I do not escape this rule. In Vesper were added prayers for rain. I could not find a prayer for snow on top Doubs ;-)) Peter

Chat Monday Philippe Gandillet: Men, Gods and church books


I come from the ceremony where I accompanied Caesars Frederick. No interpellation to the Minister of Culture, for once! He was amazed and even very sorry, for if a Minister of Culture is not challenged to Caesar, is it really minister?

The ceremony saw the consecration film by Xavier Beauvois' Men and gods ", tracing the life of monks Tibhirine. An opportunity for believers to promote faith and calmed for booksellers to sell books to church ...


So to answer the likely influx of customers at the shop of Peter, this week, I present to you a book that will satisfy those who want to surf fashion "Catholic" that are sure to follow all the celebrities of the ecological-worldly elite tiersmondiste ... "I think brothers. The strength of the filmmaker is to highlight the word intelligence of these men and their sacrifice ," explained the director, who then passed into the realm of politics. This thought reminded me of a passage I had just read in the book that I present and which have influenced the choice of these monks :

"If God calls you to dignity, obey, he will give you the graces necessary to carry the burden it has placed on your shoulders. Look eagerly to suffer for Jesus Christ, to be humiliated like him is an honor that you can run boldly! It is an honor that Jesus gave to St. John, his favorite, make him drink the cup of his passion when he had drunk himself. "


And that's what happened to our apostle John : Crowned with the power to perform miracles, the Emperor Domitian, called him to Rome and plunges into a vat of oil boiling. This turned into a refreshing bath, by some miracle, I do not know ... This punishment took place near the door leading to the Lazio since called Porta Latina. It also why St. Jean Porte Latin is the name of a feast of the Church celebrated in honor of Saint John Apostle and Evangelist. John ended his earthly life in Ephesus where he devoted himself to writing his gospel, you know.


Originally patron saint of winegrowers and coopers, St. John became patron of bayberry, printers and typesetters. The booksellers to share with the St. Lawrence. For the latter, the explanations are numerous: The Latin Gate was perhaps, with its two wings, the shape of a book printers use inks fat, hence the reference to oil, and finally, St. John wrote important works such as his Gospel and the Apocalypse. For the winemakers and coopers , the explanation comes from a pun in French: Saint John is the tine. The tine means a tank like that, filled with oil, which precipitated. In fact, St. John is often depicted wearing a barrel, sometimes large, sometimes small and with a handle, which makes him look like a mallet, which is also the tool of the cooper. But I digress ...


The book I chose to the shelves of the library is a book of hours , a secular breviary to somehow ... You will find, in addition to prayers for times of day, topics such as meditation presented in this talk, a few prayers, the Ordinary of the Mass, two offices and a few anthems ... So a collection essential to the faithful and under handy pocket size for a steady grip in the daytime. The bibliophiles who want to join the useful and pleasant appreciate binding flattering and elegant lace dishes. One detail: If you are lucky you named him "Josephine" this book is for you. If you call "Delorme" is a sign of providence ... Yours truly. Philippe Gandillet.
