Our Easter edition of the Saint Martin Magazine has a number of articles in keeping with the celebration of the Church’s most important feast.  In ‘He Is Risen’ Fr John Harris looks at just why the Resurrection is so important.

A Fork in The Road, Sing to the Lord – Hail Glorious St Patrick, The Black Friars of Newcastle

On Sunday 11 February, we celebrate the great feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and our cover for this month shows the grotto at Massabielle. In keeping with the celebration Ray Hughes writes about the hymn most associated with this holy place – the Loudes Ave (The Bells of the Angelus).  Fr Gerard Timoner OP (the Master of the Dominican Order) will celebrate Mass in St Saviour’s Church, Dominic Street, Dublin 1 at 11am. This Mass will begin the celebrations of the arrival of the Dominican Order in Ireland some 800 years ago (1224 – 2024). Fr. John Harris OP continues the theme in an article in which he writes about the unique dynamic between Our Lady and Bernadette, and how different the experience was for the young girl when compared with her ordinary life encounters.  This in turn leads on to a consideration of the meaning of human freedom. Fr Aelred Magee OCSO writes about Mary’s role as the Mother of God and shows how it is her very humility which makes her great.  2024 is a leap year and in ‘Echoes’ Pat Hope explains in depth why it is that an extra day is added to the calendar every four years.  Mabel Tolkien (the mother of the creator of The Lord of the Rings) is our famous convert and the much-maligned Catholic Queen of England, Mary Tudor is featured in ‘It Happened This Month’. On page 36 you will find an update on the student priests of the Dominican Order written by our editor Fr John Walsh.  This month marks the beginning of celebrations for the 800th anniversary of the Dominicans in Ireland; to mark this there is the first in a series on Irish Dominican martyrs.  We celebrate St Brigid’s feast day with lovely gifts in our Special Offers section.  Choose from St Brigid cross and chain from Carrick Silverware, reed cross brooches handcrafted in Ireland or cross pins available in Silver and Antique Gold Finish.

2024 marks the 800th anniversary of the arrival of the Dominican friars in Ireland.   In a series of articles beginning in our January magazine and which will run for the course of the year, Fr Conor McDonough OP writes about Reginald, archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland from 1247 – 56,                   the first of 12 significant friars who lived and worked in very different circumstances proclaiming Jesus Christ.  Ray Hughes is starting a series of articles in which he will explore some familiar hymns, beginning with that well-loved classic ‘Amazing Grace’.   Our saint of the Month, although not actually born in Ireland is an Irish hero, Charles of Mount Argus.

There is still time to avail of our offer for the Saint Martin calendars and Diaries.

For Christians the high point of the Liturgical Year is Easter, but of course that great feast would not be possible if it had not been proceeded by Christmas.  In December we celebrate the nativity, and our magazine cover has a lovely image of a baby to draw our attention to the fact that at the heart of this wonderful Season is the birth of a child.  In his Editorial Fr Walsh reminds us that Jesus  the Word of God made flesh, the second person of the Blessed Trinity becomes needy and dependent in his human form. The Christmas theme continues in our story on page 2, a haunting legend about an encounter in the manger.  Did you know there was a real Santa Claus? He was  Nicholas of Myra our Saint of the Month.   In Echoes, Patricia Hope traces the ways in which Christmas has been celebrated through the years.  Fr Kellan Scott OP asks us to consider Christmas as an adventure; both Advent and adventure derive from the Latin word adventus : a coming.  ‘It Happened This Month’ recalls the Christmas Truce, a series of ceasefires along the Western Front in World War 1 during December 1914.   Appropriately for this time of year the Holly is the subject of The Cloister Garden.  In his article, ‘Behold the Face of God’ Fr John Harris OP illustrates how Christmas shows us that God does have a face, and that each one of us  can seek him and know him face to face in an all-loving relationship.  Don’t forget there is still time to order our traditional square St Martin Christmas Candle and avail of our Special Offer.  Our 2024 St Martin Charity Calendar and Diary would also make lovely gifts.

We are celebrating the Feast Day of our beloved Saint on the 3rd November and as usual, we dedicate much of our magazine to St Martin de Porres in November. Our cover depicts St Martin as a boy in Peru and is beautifully illustrated by Will Nathans - in preparation for our new book celebrating the life of St Martin. Ray Hughes continues his amazing aarticles regarding The Camino walk. Our Assistant Editor, Marie-Therese Cryan writes a lovely article about C.S. Lewis and his conversion to Catholicism and Fr Bruno Kelleher O.P.  tells us about the pilgrimages to Croagh Patrick. We give a very special mention to our three Diaconate Ordinations, our Reception of two Novices and our three First Professions.

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and in his Editorial, Fr John Walsh O.P.  writes about how Mary is the equivalent of the earthly mother who always responds to the cries of her daughters and sons. The first time Bernadette saw her, Our Lady smiled at the young girl and signalled her to come closer, in the same way a mother would reassure her child.  Candles burn perpetually at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes because Mary told Bernadette to always have a blessed candle with her. For her article in the series ‘Echoes’, Patricia Hope looks at the history of candles, that fascinating source of light. Continuing the theme of the rosary, Fr Kellan Scott meditates on how this most beautiful prayer of the Church is the surest way to ponder on the wonders of the life of Christ.  In ‘Tender Soles’, Brother Bruno Mary Kelleher, reflects on the  significance of going barefoot in the Catholic tradition.  Our Famous Convert is Alfred Noyes, the author of ‘’The Highwayman”,  and Fr Conor McDonough OP examines the life of the inspirational Sister Ignatia Gavin, a pioneer in the work of Alcoholics Anonymous.  The film Oppenheimer was one of this year’s summer Blockbusters and ‘It happened this Month’ looks at the Manhattan Project, the operation that built the atomic bomb under the supervision of Robert Oppenheimer, who would later come to regret the consequences of the  Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.  In ‘The Cloister Garden’, Frater Fiachra gives us a fascinating insight into the Passionflower, including its association with the last sufferings of Jesus.  Next month we celebrate the feast of Saint Martin, so be sure to check out our lovely selection of gifts which commemorate our dear Patron - 3rd Nov.

The cover of our Saint Martin Magazine for September reminds us that it is in this month we celebrate the Triumph of the Holy Cross. Ray Hughes continues this theme on his Camino journey, when he writes about the Cruz de Ferro, ‘the Cross of Iron’ and the custom of leaving a stone at the foot of this symbolic landmark.  One famous historic figure who emphasised the importance of a life lived reflecting the cross was Savonarola, the controversial fifteenth - century Dominican monk who features in ‘It Happened this Month’.  The cross is of course remembered in the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and Fr John Harris OP writes about this gift of Our Lady to the Dominicans, the prayer which is our communion with Mary in getting to know Jesus.  Fr Conor McDonough OP examines the history of the Foxford Woollen Mills which were established by a Religious Sister of Charity and a Protestant entrepreneur!  The convert of the month is a Lakota (or Sioux) warrior, Nicholas Black Elk who went from scalping soldiers at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, to teaching his daughter Lucy how to pray the rosary! Be sure and check out our lovely book offer, ‘The Trottie Trilogy’ which recounts the adventures of Trottie a very unique sheepdog who can communicate with humans and is an inspiration to all.  This would be a lovely Christmas gift and each adventure can be bought individually.  Friends of Saint Martin has a photograph of our newly refurbished shop in Parnell Square.

Our Saint of the Month is Saint Jane Frances de Chantel and in Matters Medical, Br Chris Gault explains in a fascinating piece what was really happening when blood and water flowed from the side of Jesus on the Cross. We have an insightful new book by the director of the Dominican Retreat Centre in Tallaght, Fr Donagh O’Shea OP.   ‘A Hundred Roads to Here’, which offers a 100  short ‘doors to meditation’ for those meditators who are struggling; an interesting read, even for those who are not!

As the month of July approaches many people’s thoughts turn to holidays.  In his Editorial Fr John Walsh suggests that we might consider a pilgrimage with all its spiritual benefits.  It need not be an expensive place abroad, a quiet place or holy site in Ireland would serve just as well.  Remember, our souls need a vacation too!
All our regular articles appear with one exception as Deirdre Anglim our dedicated gardening expert is retiring.  She has been writing for the Saint Martin Magazine since 2005 when she took over from her father, Peter Hutchinson.

Such was the extraordinary life of Fr Frank Browne, Jesuit and photographer".  Ray Huges continues with his series of articles about the fantastic Camino Trail. His descriptions are mesmerizing - "The Meseta must be God’s Garden, because I felt His presence at every step. I was so glad to be on the Camino at that moment". Patricia Hope writes this month about the history of Ink - a fascinating insight and history of the art of writing. Along with many other articles this month, Br Murphy O.P. tells us about St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her preparations for Communion.

May is the month in which we honour Mary especially and Fr Mannion OP has a lovely article devoted to our Holy Mother.  He makes the interesting point that Jesus spent 30 years of his life, indeed the greater part of it, at home in Nazareth with the woman who by saying ‘yes’ to God made possible the salvation of humankind. Fr Scott Op continues the theme in ‘Evangelium’ and reflects on the wondrous fact of God breaking into human history through the  incarnation  of Jesus, born to a woman.  The Rosary is the Church’s great prayer to Mary, and in a very interesting article Sister Angela Mary OP writes about her life in the Dominican Nuns of Pius XII Monastery in Fatima.  Their day is centred in the Holy Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours and Eucharistic adoration. In the first of a new series of articles on Lectio Divina, Fr Magee OCSO looks at the meaning of faith in this context and the marriage between the two.  Three other women are celebrated this month, the vibrant St Thea Bowman from Mississippi, our Convert to Catholicism; Blessed Imelda Lambertini the young Protectress of First Holy Communicants and the pioneering pilot Amelia Earhart whose disappearance in 1937 still captures the imagination of many.  Not forgetting the men, Fr McDonough writes about Fergil of Aghaboe!  This was the abbot who famously clashed with the English missionary Boniface. Ray Hughes continues his journey on the Camino  and we continue to celebrate the life of Saint Martin.  In our Offers we look ahead to June, the month of the Sacred Heart and have some lovely items available.

Fr John Cunningham OP has an article inspired by a newspaper cutting  from the Archives of Holy Cross Friary, Sligo. The Saint of the Month is Giuseppe Girotti OP and the Famous Convert, Avery Dulles, an Italian and an American respectively, one a humble priest, the other a celebrated cardinal. Fr Conor McDonough OP examines St Patrick’s stand against the violence of his time which can serve as an example to Christians of today. Fr Aelred McGee OCSO looks at the afflictive thought of pride which is essentially the consummation of all the other afflictive thoughts, brought together into a single utterly destructive unit which cuts off God himself. ‘It Happened This Month’  features the highs and lows in the life of Ulysses S. Grant, American President and war hero. May is the month of Our Lady and on the first day of that month we will observe the feast of Jesus’ father on earth, St Joseph the patron of workers.

Walsh  looks at that Desert Experience and the good that it can bring about within us.

Echoes examines how central heating came into being; we take it for granted but  during these difficult times the cost may become too expensive for the average person to afford. Our Famous Convert is the fascinating Italian, Bartolo Longo, a former priest in a Satanic cult who became a Catholic and was eventually beatified.  In Evangelium Fr Kellan Scott OP examines how  Christ the High Priest continues to offer himself through his  ordained priests who extend his redemptive sacrifice across time, as well as how the priesthood embraces all the baptised who are the ‘living stones’ of God’s Kingdom. Fr Michael Dunleavy OP relays the exciting true story of how the late Fr Maurius Zerafa OP risked his life as the mastermind behind the attempt to recover a Carravaggio masterpiece – St Jerome Writing .

In the February edition of our Saint Martin Magazine, we have a tribute to the late Pope Benedict who died on New Year’s Eve at the age of 95, nearly a decade after he stood down from the papacy due to ill health. He also features on our cover waving to the crowds in Saint Peter’s Square, Vatican City. A German by birth, he never forgot his homeland and in his Spiritual Testimony he thanked God for the beauty of his home at the foothills of the Bavarian mountains. Fr Conor McDonough OP writes about Richard King, a pupil of Harry Clarke and an artist of considerable renown in his own right.  Ray Hughes continues his journey on The Camino and finds a moment of grace when he begins to falter on the road.

We begin the New Year with a most endearing cover on our Saint Martin Magazine.

It was taken by Sr Michelle Millar and captures a lovely moment.  This month we begin a twelve-part  series of articles by Ray Hughes on his experience of walking the Camino de Santiago which leads to the shrine of the Apostle St. James, whose earthly remains rest under the altar of the city’s magnificent cathedral.

Four American Presidents have been assassinated while in office.  Ronald Reagan was fortunate not to share their fate.  Echoes examines what happened on 30 March 1981 and its aftermath.  Do you know that we have an Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament every afternoon at 3 o’ clock in our Oratory as well as our lunchtime Mass? Check out our Supporters’ Page for more details as well as information about our Votive Lamp Slots, which provides a unique opportunity to have your intentions remembered.  At this holy time, how lovely it would be to receive an Easter Mass Bouquet in the post. See inside our back cover and order form for details and make someone’s Easter!

In February we celebrate the feast of the 1858 apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes. Fr Frank Downes OP writes about the enduring popularity of Lourdes and his own recent pilgrimage to this magnetic place. Fr Shane Crombie takes a look at the story behind the acclaimed film The Song of Bernadette, for which Jennifer Jones won an Oscar in 1943.  We all love Nursey Rhymes but there is a lot more to them than we might imagine.  In Echoes, Patricia Hope examines the fascinating background to some of these seemingly innocent little verses.  This month our famous convert is Sir Alec Guinness.  How did the man who once dabbled in the Tarot Cards become a Catholic?  Maolsheachlann O’Ceallaigh charts the great actor’s spiritual journey.  It Happened this Month traces the decline and fall of the woman who at her height was the potential ruler of three countries.  Mary Queen of Scots, the most tragic of Royals, has long gripped the imagination of writers and filmmakers.  Fr Michael Dunleavy OP continues his series on the significance of great Religious Art, and this month’s painter is Fra Angelico, the renowned Dominican artist of the Early Renaissance.  We all love some post that is not a bill!  Why not take the opportunity offered by the upcoming feast of St Patrick and send a friend, family member or loved one, a card to mark our National Patron’s Feast Day?  Check out our Special Offer and get writing!

January is the month which is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus and in his first Editorial of the New Year, Fr John Walsh encourages us to ‘turn every swear into a prayer’.  Sadly, in Ireland the name of our Saviour is frequently used in conversation by people who have no faith or respect; we can reverse this by saying “Jesus, I love you”, whenever we hear his name used in this manner.  In two insightful articles, Fr Conor McDonough and Fr Shane Crombie explain more about this devotion, its history and meaning.  Since the nineteenth century there have been groups advocating the restoration of the Jacobite succession to the throne of England.  It Happened this Month looks at the last of the Stuart Kings.  Malcolm Muggeridge is the second of our famous converts and in his series on great works of Art, Fr Michael Dunleavy studies Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the Pietà.  Our Life of St Martin series continues, and the Saint of the Month is Margaret of Hungary, the beautiful Princess who dedicated her life to God.  Check out our diaries and St Martin calendar, ideal for keeping tabs on the year ahead or as a gift to loved ones.

The cover of our December magazine features a lovely Nativity scene in stained glass, the original of which can be seen in the Black Abbey in Kilkenny.  In his first Editorial, our new Spiritual Director, Fr John Walsh reminds us that ‘Christmas is only truly celebrated when it becomes a reality within us.”  Conor McDonough OP in the article ‘Christmas is Local’ looks at cribs in different parts of the world.  Their appearance may differ, but the message is always the same, ‘God is with us, wherever we are, wherever we’re from’. For Echoes, Patricia Hope continues the Christmas theme as she examines how the custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends first began. 
This year the Legion of Mary is celebrating a hundred years in existence and Colm Mannion OP writes about its founder, Frank Duff and his unwavering devotion to the Mother of God.
This month’s edition also sees the beginning of three new series of articles.  The first deals with the conversion to Catholicism of famous people and begins with the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins.  The second will look at some paintings by well-known artists, and the third is dedicated to the life of our dear patron St Martin. Matters Medical takes on a different aspect too as Brother Christopher Gault writes from his position as a man of medicine and a follower in the footsteps of St Martin.
Still wondering what to give as a present for Christmas?    Check out our lovely St Martin Charity Calendar and St Martin Hardback diaries, with the order of the Mass.   These gifts can be enjoyed all throughout the year ahead.   We wish all our readers online a Holy and Happy Christmas.
