Israel and Hamas Conflict in Brief

In the words of M. Maura, O.S.B., Prioress (April 1915), I have charged Dame M. Columban to provide a thorough account of our Communitys experiences from the German invasion of Ypres to our safe arrival at Oulton Abbey. This heartfelt narrative draws from the personal notes of several nuns, recounting their true stories amidst the turmoil of World War I. Established in 1665, the Abbey of the Irish Dames of Ypres served as a spiritual haven for the daughters of Irish nobility, supported by prominent Irish families living in exile. Sadly, after over two centuries of dedicated prayer, education, and community life, the Abbey faced destruction from German bombardments early in the war. With the assistance of The Royal Munster Fusiliers, the nuns were evacuated and eventually found refuge at Kylemore Abbey in Connemara, Ireland, in 1920. - Summary by David Wales

Inventions of the Idiot

This war was not merely a time of destruction; it sparked a wave of creativity and innovation that transformed the world. It challenged individuals to think beyond the ordinary, enhancing their inventive skills. As a result, we now benefit from a wealth of new ideas and technologies. From lessons in thrift and efficiency to the importance of standardization, industries have evolved, and entrepreneurs recognize the value of scientific inquiry. While the full narrative of these advancements is far too expansive for just one book, I have carefully curated and explained the most significant and fascinating inventions in straightforward language, making it accessible for those without a technical background. - David Wales, former editor of Scientific American magazine.

Et chez eux, la bonté ne reste jamais assise, elle se lève ! Louise et Joseph vous donnent rendez-vous chaque jeudi pour une parabole de Jésus, ces petites histoires si simples qu'il aimait raconter à tous ceux qui l'écoutaient, riches ou pauvres, savants ou pas du tout.


Le Bon Samaritain, la Brebis perdue, le Fils prodigue, le Semeur, les Talents, le Grain de moutarde, le Trésor caché... Vous les connaissez peut-être déjà : ce sont les plus belles histoires de la Bible. Louise et Joseph, eux, se les racontent en s'installant sous la couette, et cherchent ensemble ce que Jésus a bien voulu dire. Ils ne récitent pas une leçon. Ils discutent, ils hésitent, ils se trompent parfois, et finissent par comprendre à deux, comme le feraient vos enfants.


Jésus, dans ces histoires, n'a rien d'un personnage doux et lointain. Il agit, il dérange parfois, il relève toujours ceux qui sont à terre. Chaque parabole devient une petite aventure, racontée avec le ton chaleureux et un peu espiègle de Louise et Joseph, l'histoire du soir. Moins de dix minutes, une voix douce, et dès 3 ans : de quoi accompagner les tout-petits vers le sommeil, en voiture, à la sieste, ou blottis dans un lit avant de dormir.


Ces belles histoires de Jésus parlent de générosité, de pardon, d'entraide, et du courage d'aider son prochain, celui qui est juste à côté de nous. D'un jeudi à l'autre, Louise et Joseph en racontent une nouvelle, et petit à petit, toute une Bible pour enfants se construit, belle histoire après belle histoire, à écouter et réécouter en famille.


Les Éditions Saint-Louis créent des histoires, des livres et des jeux pour transmettre aux enfants des valeurs simples et solides, en écho aux grands récits de notre patrimoine. Louise &amp; Joseph, Les Belles Histoires de Jésus est leur podcast pour enfants consacré aux paraboles de Jésus, un compagnon d'éveil à la foi pensé pour les parents qui cherchent une histoire du soir à partager en famille, chaque jeudi.

The History of King Lear is Nahum Tates remarkable adaptation of William Shakespeares timeless tragedy. Premiering in 1681—approximately seventy-five years after Shakespeares original—Tates version captivated audiences and largely supplanted Shakespeares work on the English stage until 1838. Unlike the original, Tates play concludes on a hopeful note, depicting Lear reclaiming his throne and Cordelia marrying Edgar, with Edgar joyfully proclaiming that truth and virtue shall at last succeed. This adaptation, structured in five acts like Shakespeares, diverges in scene count and is roughly eight hundred lines shorter. While it retains many of Shakespeares original lines with minimal alterations, a considerable portion of the text is newly crafted, omitting key elements such as the character of the Fool. Despite critiques from notable figures like Joseph Addison and William Hazlitt, who denounced its sentimentality, Tates version enjoyed immense popularity and even garnered approval from Samuel Johnson, who found Cordelia’s tragic fate in Shakespeares play unbearable. Although Shakespeares original continued to be published, it vanished from the stage for over a century and a half, with celebrated actors like Thomas Betterton and David Garrick portraying Tates interpretation instead.

Henry VI, Part 3, also known as The Third Part of Henry the Sixt, is a gripping history play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been penned in 1591. Set against the backdrop of King Henry VIs tumultuous reign, this installment delves into the devastating chaos of the Wars of the Roses. While 1 Henry VI portrays the loss of French territories and 2 Henry VI highlights the kings struggle to manage his fractious nobles, 3 Henry VI vividly depicts the brutal realities of civil war. Families are torn apart, moral boundaries are shattered, and the quest for power leads to unimaginable horror. Unlike Richard II, whose fall stems from a misjudgment of sovereignty, Henrys downfall results from his profound inability to wield power effectively. This tragic ineptitude is poignantly illustrated in Act 2, Scene 5, where he witnesses the tragic consequences of a father killing his son and vice versa. The kings humiliation reaches its peak in Act 3, Scene 1, when he is captured by commoners while trying to hide. Ultimately, Henrys life comes to a grim end at the hands of Richard, the ambitious brother of Edward IV, who later becomes the tyrant in Richard III. With his son Edward murdered and his key ally, the Earl of Warwick, dead, the House of Lancaster faces its demise. Notably, Henry VI, Part 3 features Shakespeares longest soliloquy and contains more battle scenes than any of his other works. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia with additions by Algy Pug)

Henry VI, Part 3

Dive into the turbulent world of Henry VI, Part 2, a captivating history play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been penned in 1591. Set against the backdrop of King Henry VIs reign, this compelling narrative explores the Kings struggle to maintain order amid a fractious nobility, the tragic demise of his loyal advisor Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, and the ominous rise of the Duke of York. As the stage is set for the First Battle of St Albans, this play reveals a kingdom on the brink of civil war. The discord between powerful figures, such as Humphrey and Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, spills over into the lives of ordinary citizens, leading to an ill-fated rebellion led by the cunning Jack Cade. With Humphreys death marking the end of Henrys regency, the naïve monarch finds himself powerless against the escalating conflict between the houses of York and Lancaster. Notably, the play features a unique rustic interlude in Act 4, reminiscent of Shakespeares comedies, providing a moment of levity amidst the drama. Henry VI, Part 2 boasts the largest cast of any of Shakespeares works and is often hailed as the standout piece of the Henry VI trilogy. (Summary by Wikipedia and Algy Pug)
