Saint Peter Chanel

1803-1841

Feast Day: April 28

Patronage: Oceania

Saint Peter Chanel was born in France and ended his life as the protomartyr of Oceania. Peter was attracted to the missionary life and became a Marist priest and made the 10-month journey to Futuna Island in Oceania. With courage and patience, he learned the language and endeavored to convert the natives, whose chieftain had just banned cannibalism. When the chieftain's son asked to be baptized, persecution climaxed with St. Peter being clubbed to death.  Within a year after his death, the whole island converted and has remained Catholic to this day.

Sowing and reaping - Green Island's community garden

Sowing and reaping – Green Island’s community garden

Green Island’s community garden sits on a generous piece of land behind St Peter Chanel church. Fruit and vegetables are raised by volunteers. They reap what they sow – and others from the community are invited to enjoy some too. The community project began back in 2015 when Catholic Bishop of Dunedin Michael Dooley was the parish priest. Marion Thomas, who heads the team of volunteers, says…

Jessie-Maye Barlow, 19 (UK 20 December 2012)

Jessie-Maye Barlow with her daughter.

Jessie-Maye Barlow was only 19 years old.

Only a few months after giving birth for the first time, Jessie found out she was pregnant again. She and Daniel (the baby’s father) were overwhelmed with the idea of having two babies by the age of 19. They decided on an abortion, which is legal and widespread in the UK. An abortion facility in Richmond, southwest London administered a chemical abortion.

Jessie was given the abortion pill in September, but she wasn’t told about the real danger of what she was doing. She didn’t know this was going to kill her.

The abortion facility should have followed up to check Jessie for complications, but they never even called. Their neglect put Jessie in even more danger. By December, Jessie was still bleeding and feeling awful, so she went to a doctor on December 8. The doctor realised how sick she was and sent her straight to West Middlesex Hospital hospital.

Doctors at West Middlesex Hospital realized that Jessie had contracted a severe strain of antibiotic resistant superbug streptococcus B. The cause of the infection was that the abortion pill left fetal body parts and/or the placenta still inside of her.

Jessie was treated with surgery and antibiotics, but the infection was so severe that it destroyed one of the valves of her aorta. After that, it attacked the heart itself. On December 20, Jessie’s chest pain was so severe that her family called an ambulance. Just hours later, the teenage mother died in St. Peter’s Hospital— about 5 weeks after her “safe and legal” abortion.

Others who were killed by infection after taking the abortion pill include Holly Patterson, Manon Jones, Oriane Shevin, Chanelle Bryant, Hoa Thuy “Vivian” Tran, Sarah Dunn, Anita Koli, Crystal Roe, Jane Roe of Canada, Marcie Roe, Carmen Roe, Wanda Roe, Belle Roe, Tara Roe, Corrie Roe, Tina Roe, Toni Roe, Raeden Roe and Summer Roe.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …

1933 – Karl Lagerfeld (d.2019) was a German fashion designer, artist, and photographer based in Paris. He was the head designer and creative director of the fashion house Chanel as well as the Italian house Fendi and his own eponymous fashion label. Over the decades, he collaborated on a variety of fashion and art-related projects. He was well recognized around the world for his trademark white hair, black sunglasses, and high starched collars.

In 1993, he caused U.S. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to walk out of his Milan Fashion Week runway show, when he employed strippers and adult-film star Moana Pozzi to model his black-and-white collection for Fendi.

There was much controversy from Lagerfeld's use of a verse from the Qur'an in his spring 1994 couture collection for Chanel, despite apologies from the designer and the fashion house. The controversy erupted after the 1994 couture show in Paris, when the Indonesian Muslim Scholars Council in Jakarta called for a boycott of Chanel and threatened to file formal protests with the government of Mr. Lagerfeld's homeland, Germany. The designer apologized, explaining that he had taken the design from a book about the Taj Mahal, thinking the words came from a love poem.

Lagerfeld was the target of a pieing by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in 2001 at a fashion premiere at Lincoln Center in New York City. However, the tofu pies hurled by animal rights activists in protest of his use of fur within his collections went astray, instead hitting Calvin Klein. A PETA spokesperson described the hit on Klein as "friendly fire," calling Klein, who doesn't use fur, "a great friend to the animals" and Lagerfeld a "designer dinosaur," who continues to use fur in his collections.

Lagerfeld had a long-term relationship from the early 1970s with socialite Jacques de Bascher until his death in 1989.

1487 – Julius III (d.1555), pope from 1550 to 1555, created one of the most notorious homosexual scandals in the history of the papacy. He was the protégé of Julius II (pope from 1503 to 1513), himself a "sodomite covered with shameful ulcers," according to the schismatic Council of Pisa convened by his enemies, the Holy Roman Emperor and the French king, in 1511.

Julius III was born Giovanni Maria Ciocchi del Monte in 1487. He studied law in Perugia and Bologna before taking religious orders. After holding numerous offices in the Papal States, he was made a cardinal in 1536. A skilled expert in canon law, del Monte served as governor of Rome. As cardinal-bishop of Palestrina, he was one of the three co-presidents who opened the celebrated Counter Reformation Council of Trent in 1545. He achieved the papacy five years later only because the respective candidates of France and the emperor were hopelessly deadlocked in one of the longest conclaves in papal history. Far from being a man of the Counter Reformation, however, Julius fit the earlier pattern of a pleasure-loving Renaissance pope fond of banquets, theater, and hunting. He did, however, effect some minor reforms, and he backed the newly formed Society of Jesus in its missions to India, China, and Japan. More notably, he supported Michelangelo as architect of St. Peter's and discovered the genius of Palestrina, whom he put in charge of the papal choir. Nevertheless, his leadership of the church was largely frustrated when political difficulties with Charles V caused him to suspend the Council of Trent indefinitely.

Julius III caused a major scandal by becoming infatuated with a fifteen-year-old beggar boy named Innocenzo whom he first saw fighting off an attack by a pet ape in 1548. He appointed this unprepossessing, rude, ill-mannered street urchin to the post of cathedral provost, which won him the soubriquet, il provestino. Two years later, in 1550, when Julius became pope, he had his brother adopt Innocenzo, and over the vehement protests from other church leaders he not only named him a cardinal but gave him a responsible administrative position as his "chief diplomatic and political agent," a task for which he was entirely incompetent.

Roman satire called the ill-favored boy Julius's "Ganymede," and the Venetian ambassador reported that Innocenzo shared the pope's bedroom and bed. As may be imagined, Protestant partisans seized on this succulent scandal, which became a staple of anti-papal polemics for over a century. It was said that Julius, awaiting Innocenzo's arrival in Rome to receive his cardinal's hat, showed the impatience of a lover awaiting a mistress and that he boasted of the boy's prowess in bed. No doubt such tales gained color in the telling.

A recent biography has argued that the relation was not sexual, but the outrageous extravagance of Julius's dotage suggests otherwise: Julius bestowed benefices on Innocenzo that gave him one of the highest incomes in Europe—beyond even that of the Medicis. After Julius's death in 1555, Innocenzo's status as a prince of the church was an extreme embarrassment to succeeding popes, who tried to curb the "voluptuous and indecent" lifestyle of the "Cardinal-Monkey." His murder of two servants—a father and the son who tried to defend him—led to his being imprisoned for several years in various monasteries. He was also tried for the rape of two woman "of low estate," but on this charge he escaped punishment. He died in 1577, aged 46.

The bodies of both Julius III and Innocenzo repose in the del Monte chapel in the church of San Pietro in Montorio, Rome.

1997 – The U.S. Senate thrashes GLBT civil rights twice in one day, passing the so-called “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA) denying to LGB and many T Americans the right to federally recognized marriages to those they love; and relieving states of the obligation to recognize marriages of same-sex couples performed in other states. The Senate also defeated the “Employment Non-Discrimination Act” which would have barred job discrimination based on sexual orientation.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT PETER JULIAN EYMARD The Apostle of the Blessed Sacrament Feast Day: August 2

"The Eucharist is the supreme proof of the love of Jesus. After this, there is nothing more but heaven itself."

Pierre-Julien Eymard, the founder of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, commonly known as the Sacramentinos, and the women-only Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, was born on February 4, 1811, in La Mure, Grenoble, French Empire. His father was a smith whose second wife was Julian's mother. Since childhood, he developed an intense devotion to the Virgin Mary and for the Eucharist.

Before his First Communion on March 16, 1823, he went on foot to the shrine of Notre-Dame du Laus. Later, he came to know about the apparition of Notre-Dame de La Salette and enjoyed traveling to various Marian shrines throughout France.

After the death of his mother in 1828, despite his father's opposition, he entered the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in June the following year. However, he was dismissed from the formation house because of a serious illness, particularly 'weakness of the lungs' and migraine headaches.

After his father's death in 1831, he succeeded – with the help of his former superior – in gaining admission to the major seminary of the Diocese of Grenoble, where he was ordained on July 20, 1834.

He was assigned as assistant pastor at the town of Chatte, and three years later appointed pastor of Mount Saint-Eynard, whose church and convent were completely dilapidated, and where only a few people were attending the Mass. With the help of his two sisters, Peter began refurnishing the convent and restoring the church.

Although Eymard is known to have revitalized the place, he was dissatisfied with parish work, and decided to join the Marists (the Society of Mary). His two sisters were quite devastated as they had dedicated their lives to serving him.

On August 20, 1837, aware of his religious vocation, he joined the Marist Fathers, where he worked as a well-respected spiritual adviser of seminarians and priests.

In 1849, after meeting in Paris the members of the Association of Nocturnal Adorers, he felt the call to establish a religious congregation completely dedicated to eucharistic adoration.

On May 13, 1856, the Paris bishops consented to Eymard's plans for a 'Society of the Blessed Sacrament'. He left the Marists and founded in Paris the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. Two years later, together with Marguerite Guillot, he established the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, a contemplative congregation for women.

He used to say: 'Religious life is not the end, religious life is only a means;' and also: 'You take communion to become holy, not because you already are.'

Eymard was a friend and contemporary of saints John Marie Vianney, Peter Chanel, Marcellin Champagnat, Blessed Basil Moreau and Pauline-Marie Jaricot.

Peter died on August 1, 1868 in his hometown at the age of 57 due to complications from a brain hemorrhage. He was beatified by Pope Pius XI on July 12, 1925 and canonized by St. John XXIII on December 9, 1962, his major shrine can be found at Santi Claudio e Andrea dei Borgognoni in Via del Pozzetto in Trevi. Peter named by St. John Paul II as the 'Apostle of the Eucharist'.

Peter is the patron of Eucharistic Adoration and Eucharistic Congress.

Peter was meeting up with his childhood friend Tony so I ventured out by myself with no internet on my phone. I took a mental note of where buses and tube stations were an hopped on a bus to the Portobello markets which was full of antiques, jewellery, clothes and food stalls.

Then made by way to the Florence Nightingale museum which is within The St Thomas’s hospital.

I remember nursing a child like this at the Children’s Hospital

Met up with Peter at Westminster and did retail looking at Harrods. Below looks like a layered salmon tart and Chanel PJs. Was lovely to look but decided the PJs weren’t my colour😉

Had a look through Marks and Spencer but by this time, we were tuckered out so this is all I got of Selfridges

We’re enjoying exploring London but it’s so busy, traffic is atrocious and it’s not even peak season.

Forgot to add yesterday, we really enjoyed the Mousetrap but as to whodunnit……. Our lips are sealed 🤐

A Stitch In Time Knitting is one of the most fundamental textile techniques. Produced from a continuous yarn and simple needles its origins are shrouded in mystery. Early examples of knitting dating from Coptic and Egyptian cultures still exist, along with hats, stockings and knitted undergarments from the sixteenth century. Mark and Cleo Butterfield’s passion for knitted garments co-exists with their work as some of the country’s most important collectors of antique and vintage clothing and accessories. The Butterfield’s private collection now makes up a new exhibition at ‘Dovecot’ in Edinburgh. ‘KNITWEAR: Chanel to Westwood’ features over 150 inspirational knitwear pieces from their personal haul. Cleo Butterfields’ love affair with knitting began in the 1960s. As a teenager she knitted a jumper from a 1940s pattern. This continues today with a wide-ranging collection across a century’s worth of knitted fashions - across anonymous hand knits, machine knits and jerseys, through to crocheted pieces and experimental high fashion. The show will have an entire section dedicated to Shetland’s ‘Fair Isle’ jumpers - popularised in the Twenties by Edward VIII when he wore them on his golfing trips to St Andrews. There are also plenty of sleeveless ‘Fair Isle’ tank tops to admire which have attracted everyone from hipsters to ‘Blue Peter’ presenters. ‘KNITWEAR: Chanel to Westwood’, October 15, 2022 - March 11, 2023, ‘Dovecot Studios’, 10 Infirmary Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1LT. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #love #modernism #pop #punk #deconstruction #markbutterfield #cleobutterfield #C20vintagefashion #missoni #soniarykiel #billgibb #commedegarcons #lafetiche #digilpin #dovecotstudios #knitwearchaneltowestwood (at Dovecot Studios Café) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjpZ_83ozOr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
