Podcast appearances and mentions of mary queen

Delivered by Fiona from the Parish of Mary Queen of the Rosary in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Colossians 3: 12-17; Rs psalm 150: 1-2.3-4.5-6; Luke 6: 27-38.BE GENEROUS LIKE THE FATHER The title for our meditation today is:Be Generous Like the Father. A father and his son, an elementary school boy,entered the church to pray. The child then saw for some moments a large crossattached to the wall behind the altar and he wanted an explanation from hisfather. He said: "Who condemns Jesus to death on the cross likethat?" A few moments passed but his father had not responded because hewas still thinking the right argument in responding to the child. Then the answer came like this:"Those who condemn Jesus to a very cruel and humiliating death are Hisenemies." And the father went on to ask: "Who are Jesus'enemies?" The child remembered what has been tought in religion class aboutthe passion story of Jesus, and he immediately responded: “His enemies aresinners and more specifically those who killed Him during his moments of trialand severe punishment to death." This conversation of the father andhis child is extraordinary because it has important theological significance.Its importance is mainly related to the word of God of today, especially theGospel which is essentially about the the Lord's command for us to be kind asour good Father in heaven. The kindness and generosity of the Father, thealmighty God, are revealed among many people who deserve it, particularly inthe acceptance and forgiveness of those who are against and hostile to God. This generosity is demonstrated by thecrucified Jesus. Before dying on the cross, He forgave His enemies. Thisextraordinary act becomes a very basic teaching and example for us all asexpressed in the proclamation of the gospel of today. Our point is this, tothose who are hostile to us, those who behave badly or show hatred and revengeon us, our best Christian attitude is the attitude of Jesus Christ. We can put this teaching into acomprehensive pattern of attitude, which starts by reconciling to ourselvesthat we accept and want to go through the suffering caused by our enemies. Ifwe escape it, avoid it or fight back as a way to defend ourselves, that isanother matter. But in accepting it, we do make it as Jesus' gift to us. Uponreceiving it, we need to complement ourselves with gentleness and patience, asSaint Paul says in the first reading, his letter to the Colossians. In this attitude, as we are filledwith joy and strength from the Lord, the generosity then becomes a very nobleand great gift in us. From this generosity, comes our willingness and abilityto forgive. If one can forgive because he or she is generous as the Father inheaven, this forgiveness is truly genuine. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord, increase in us the grace to forgive those who are againstus. Our Father who art in heaven... In the name of the Father ...

Discover how invisible ink, codes, and women shaped early modern espionage.Paul Bavill is joined by historians Nadine Akkerman and Pete Langman, co-authors of Spycraft: Tricks and Tools of the Dangerous Trade from Elizabeth I to the Restoration, to expose the myths and realities of Tudor and Stuart espionage. In partnership with the Gloucester History Festival, they explore the hidden world of spies, secret codes, and the overlooked women who shaped Britain's first intelligence wars.Breaking the Myth:Spying wasn't a men-only game. Nadine and Pete challenge the enduring assumption that espionage in this period was dominated by Walsingham and Cecil, revealing the crucial roles played by women—often underestimated, unseen, and therefore the perfect agents.The Tricks of the Trade:Listeners are taken deep into the techniques of early modern spycraft. From invisible inks and counterfeit seals to origami-like folded letters and even messages swallowed in wax balls, the sophistication of Tudor and Stuart espionage is laid bare.Plots and Intrigue:From the Babington Plot and the downfall of Mary Queen of Scots to the near-success of the Gunpowder Plot, Nadine and Pete uncover how these intelligence networks worked—and how luck, deception, and paranoia often decided the fate of monarchs.Forgotten Figures:Far beyond the famous “spymasters,” we meet Arthur Gregory, an inventive genius who poisoned himself in pursuit of better forgery methods, and Lady Carlisle, a double agent whose true loyalties remain mysterious. These overlooked individuals demonstrate the real breadth of Britain's first intelligence wars.This episode reveals espionage not as a primitive sideline to Tudor politics, but as a dangerous, ingenious, and often deadly world—where women played a far greater role than history usually admits.Guest Information:Catch Nadine Akkerman and Pete Langman at the Gloucester History Festival on Wednesday, 17th September at 8:00 pm.

The rich and powerful Guise family was one of the most treacherous and bloodthirsty in sixteenth-century France. They whipped up religious bigotry, overthrowing the king. They ruled Scotland for nearly 20 years through Mary Queen of Scots, plotting to invade England and overthrow Elizabeth I. And they unleashed the bloody Wars of Religion, playing a crucial role in the murder of 4,000 Protestants in the infamous Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre.In this final episode for Not Just the Tudors' Tudor True Crime month, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Stuart Carroll - author of Martyrs and Murderers: The Guise Family and the Making of Europe - about this cultivated, charismatic and violent dynasty.MORE:Catherine d'Medici: Serpent Queen >Mary Queen of Scots' Lost Letters Decoded >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Delivered by Fiona from the Parish of Mary Queen of the Rosary in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Judges 6: 11-24a; Rs psalm 85: 9.11-12.13-14; Matthew 19: 23-30.WE ARE ALL BEGGARS Our meditation today is entitled: WeAre All Beggars. In one of his spiritual writings, Saint Bernard, a mystic andspiritual guide in the Catholic Church, once explained his thought of his faithin this way: In order for us to know the true love of God and to practice it,we must be able to recognize the poverty of each of us. By knowing that we areloved, we are touched by our own poverty. Thus Saint Bernard wants to say thatevery one of us in this world is poor. When one experiences love, namely tolove and to be loved, he or she should be seen as a poor person. In otherwords, we are all beggars of love. Both rich and poor, people who have moneyand those who don't have money, they all experience love in their lives. The act of love and the experience ofthe beauty of love cannot be measured by money and wealth. There is a studentfrom the richest family in his city. He has the same simple appearance as allhis friends in campus. A friend from the village and poor family once said tohim, "If I'm a rich person like you, I don't need to go to the universitylike this." The rich young man who looks verysimple, replied, "My family has a lot of wealth, but I need knowledge. Iam poor in knowledge.” This is an answer that fits the theme of thismeditation, we all in this world are beggars. We are all not rich and notperfect. In addition to the young man who was looking for knowledge, actuallywe are also equally looking for justice, joy, calmness, peace and love. Israel as a nation that had been inall difficulties as beggar, was blessed by God in the sending of a messenger asthe savior, namely Gideon. But as always happens, after one leader dies or anew problem arises, every one returns in the seeking out of God's intervention.They remain beggars of God's love and mercy. It is very clear that we are allbeggars before the almighty and merciful God. The Lord Jesus continually emphasizesin His teaching that money, goods, wealth, power cannot guarantee eternalhappiness and joy in the life of His kingdom. So we all really need God as theOne to fill our lives. We want that God fills up our loneliness, sadness,disappointment, our sickness, our fragile and sinful lives, and lost of hope. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus, fill us and our lives as we always long for your loveand mercy. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

Scottish Ballet's new production Mary, Queen of Scots is a punk inspired production which tells the story of the ill-fated queen through the imagination and memories of her cousin, Elizabeth I, who authorised her execution. And a Fringe production Mary Queen of Rock portrays Mary as a rock star in a world in which rock and roll is banned. We discuss why her story continues to inspire so many productions today. Eva Victor, star of Sorry, Baby, the opening film of this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, talks about her darkly comic treatment of the aftermath of a sexual assault. Theatre critics Fergus Morgan and Neil Cooper talk us through some of the highlights of this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe - from Eat the Rich (But Maybe Not Me Mates X), a one-woman show by Liverpudlian actor and director Jade Franks in which she tells the story of being a misfit at Cambridge University to Lost Lear, a retelling of Shakespeare's King Lear told through the eyes of a woman with dementia. Plus a live performance from musician Hamish Hawk, who is paying tribute to the late great poet and eccentric Ivor Cutler at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival, complete with Cutler's own harmonium.

Following the murder of her husband, Lord Darnley, how did Mary Queen of Scots - thought to have conspired for his death - navigate the most precarious situation of her young life so far? Would she marry again, and if so whom? Why was she forced to flee her enemies dressed as a man, and would she escape the threat of imprisonment? Could she look to her fellow cousin, Elizabeth I, for aid, or face the Virgin Queen's condemnation? And, would she come out from these tumultuous events a queen and unscathed, or dethroned, and traumatised for life? Join Tom and Dominic as they reach the dramatic climax of their journey through the reign of Mary Queen of Scots, as steps into the hands of Elizabeth I and her spymasters. Would this most brave and belligerent, but now beleaguered of women, survive the most perilous period of her life?

Following the death of her husband, the King of France, was the glamorous Mary welcomed back to Scotland, her kingdom since infancy, with open arms or deep suspicion?

When her eye turned on the crown of her wealthier neighbour, England, how did its reigning queen, Elizabeth I, react? And, who was the man that Mary choose to take as her second husband…? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss Mary Queen of Scots' polarising return to her native land of Scotland, riven by religious factionalism and political disquiet, and the terrible dangers of being a Scottish queen in more than name alone.

For centuries, the Vatican Secret Archives have remained one of the most mysterious and heavily guarded collections in the world. With over 53 miles of documents, only a handful of scholars have ever been allowed inside — and what they've found is both historic and deeply controversial. In this episode, we uncover what we know is inside: letters from Mary Queen of Scots, the trial of Galileo, ancient papal decrees — and what may still be hidden: lost gospels, alien contact, exorcism records, and even evidence of a time-viewing device known as the Chronovisor. Was the Church hiding the bloodline of Christ? Did the Vatican shelter Nazis after WWII? What's in the documents they won't release? Join us for a chilling, thought-provoking dive into the real and rumored contents of the Vatican Secret Archives.Email: Projectskepticpod@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/projectskeptic/https://discord.gg/vDdGBThvp3Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/project_skeptic_podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/project_skeptic_podcast/Voicemail: 1-814-299-6919www.projectskeptic.comhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/project-skeptic-podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/ProjectSkepticPodcast

In today's episode an extraordinary political trial that culminated in the execution of one queen at the behest of another: Mary Queen of Scots, convicted of treason in 1586 and beheaded in 1587. But who really wanted her dead, Queen Elizabeth or Elizabeth's powerful political servants? Why did Mary demand to be tried before parliament rather than a court of noblemen? How did she attempt to defend herself in the face of apparently overwhelming incriminating evidence against her? And who was the only person who voted for her acquittal?

The Queen of All Hearts: Mary's Role in Building the Body of Christ This conference emphasizes the deeply communal and celebratory nature . . . . . . of Christian spirituality, rooted in the victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death. It highlights that this victory is not merely individual but shared among all believers, particularly through their connection with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Montfort underscores that Christian salvation cannot be isolated; to belong to Christ is to belong to His Church—His body—and by extension, to Mary, who is inseparably united with Jesus and His mission. Through the lens of St. Louis de Montfort's spirituality, especially the act of total consecration to Jesus through Mary, this belonging is not only personal but ecclesial and missional. It involves receiving Mary into one's life as one's “every good,” allowing her to guide and order the heart, which leads to a deeper participation in the life and mission of the Church. The creation of the Association of Mary Queen of All Hearts serves as a concrete expression of this spirituality, offering a communal structure where consecrated individuals can grow, pray, and serve together. The ultimate aim is the reign of Jesus through Mary in every heart, a vision that also inspired the foundation of the Marian shrine on Long Island. Listen to this Meditation Media. Listen to: The Queen of All Hearts: Mary's Role in Building the Body of Christ -------------------------------------------------------------- Something different, which is this radical act of belonging. And it is this radical act of belonging to our Lord, to Our Lady, and therefore to His Church that we seek to grow in. And the mission that he would see for an organization like this is literally the propagation of this deeper belonging out into the world. And that's what he means by the reign of Jesus through Mary. The very first sentence in the text we have from his work that we call True Devotion is it is through the Virgin Mary that Jesus . . .

This is the fifth in a series of nine episodes regarding England's greatest monarch, Elizabeth I.  Having survived the rule of Bloody Mary, life ought to have gotten easier for the newly raised Queen Elizabeth, but her vow to remain unwed placed her rule in a precarious position.  For those who wanted to remove England's protestant ruler, there was no more attractive option than the Queen's cousin, Mary Queen of Scots.  This episode traces their 19 year long feud, including the 'war of the rough wooing,' the 'Bothwell Conspiracy,' and the 'Casket letters.'

Day 4: Mary, Queen of Peace But the Angel said, “Do not fear, Mary, for God has looked kindly on you (Luke I:30) Let us pray: Loving Father, through our Mother, the Lady of the Annunciation, teach us how to be calm and serene so as to feel Your presence here today as we pray for our needs and desires. Teach us how to ask for them. Almighty Father, through the intercession of Mary, the Queen of Peace, may You grant us the tranquility in our hearts You granted to her at the Annunciation. Father, may the Blessed Virgin assist us, especially in this Novena so that we may pray with faith, and that, if it is Your will, we may obtain through her the favor that we desire.

In As You Like It, Orlando says “Which I take to be either a fool or a cipher.” that's one of a dozen references to ciphers in Shakespeare's plays, which reflects the place of ciphers as a common way to keep secrets, particularly among the elite, for Shakespeare's lifetime. One of the most famous ciphers for Shakespeare's lifetime was written between 1578 and 1584, while Shakespeare was just getting his career started in London as a playwright, when they were written by none other than Mary, Queen of Scots. For 19 years prior to her execution, Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in England, and during that time, she wrote extensively, including letters in code. It was known that between 1578 and 1584, just 3 years before her death, Mary wrote a series of letters in code to the French ambassador, but those letters were considered to have been lost. Surprisingly, the letters survived, but because they consist of unreadable encoded text, no one knew what they were about, and they were stored away in unrelated collections in the National Library of France, where they went unexplored, until 400 years later. In 2023, an international team of codebreakers happened to stumble upon the documents when they were looking for historical ciphers in order to crack them. They not only found Mary's lost letters, but managed to decode them, and present the contents to the world for the first time in almost half a millennia. Lead author and Israeli computer scientist, George Lasry, is here today to tell us about the team's efforts, the decoding process, what Mary wrote, and why it was so important for the letters to be in cipher in the first place.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Med en stor armada om 130 skepp och 20 000 soldater skulle Filip II av Spanien erövra, England och återinföra katolicismen. Från Flandern skulle ytterligare soldater föras över till det brittiska öarna. Världens mäktigaste flotta skulle krossa allt engelskt motstånd i Engelska kanalen och bana väg för invasionen. Men det blev inte så.Engelsmännen ledda av sin drottning Elisabet och med befälhavare som Sir Francis Drake och Sir Thomas Howard förhindrade landstigningen. I stället för ett intåg i triumf i London slutade allt med en spansk katastrof. Mer än 50 fartyg förliste och kom aldrig hem. Hälften av soldaterna och sjömannen på de spanska fartygen omkom.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden berättar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om en av de klassiska marinoperationerna i Europas historia.Konflikterna mellan Spanien och England handlade om flera saker. Engelsmännen hade under Elisabets far Henrik VIII valt att frånsäga sig katolicismen och skapa en ny statskontrollerad anglikansk kyrka. Den katolska tronpretendenten Mary Queen of Scots avrättades och genom släktband kom Filip III av Spanien att kunna hävda rätt till den engelska tronen. Stödda av bland annat påven skulle England erövras och Elisabet störtas.Dessutom hade engelska örlogsfartyg bedrivit piratverksamhet mot spansk handel i Karibien under befälhavare som Sir Francis Drake. På detta skulle det nu bli ett slut. Till detta kan läggas av engelsmännen länge stött upproret mot spanjorerna i Nederländerna vilket naturligtvis Filip II ville förhindra. Spanien ville återta de norra delarna av sina besittningar i Nederländerna och krossa upproret ifred utan inblandning.Kärnan i den spanska armadan var de stora örlogsfartygen som hade höga överbyggnader och mängder av soldater ombord för att kunna äntra och erövra motståndarnas fartyg. På samma sätt som under slaget vid Lepanto 1571 mot osmanerna var det en äntringsstrid som spanjorerna förväntade sig och som de var överlägsna på. Men engelsmännen hade under ledningen av bland annat Sir John Hawkins utvecklat sina örlogsfartyg och sin taktik mot att undvika äntringsstriden. I stället hade de engelska fartygen långskjutande kanoner och var bättre anpassade för strid på avstånd. Striden mot armadan 1588 utgör på flera sätt en vändpunkt i sjökrigföringen. Årtiondena efter Armadans misslyckande 1588 kom sjökrigföringen att genomgå en omfattande utveckling som inte minst engelsmännen skulle bli leda.Spanjorerna höll samma sin flotta när de närmade sig de brittiska öarna. De var skickliga på att segla i formation. Engelsmännen å sin sida inlät sig inte äntringsstrid utan besköt de spanska fartygen på distans. Ett sorts dödläge inträffade där ingen av kombattanterna kom åt varandra för ett avgörande. Spanjorernas plan att hämta soldater från Nederländerna misslyckades eftersom det var omöjligt att få soldaterna över Engelska kanalen så länge som den engelska flottan var intakt och kunde hota. Spanska armadan tvingades inse att den inte kunde lösa sin uppgift. Befälhavaren hertigen av Medina Sidonia måste desperat föra flotta hem via en rutt norr om de brittiska öarna. Det som slutligen beseglade armadans öde var stormarna norr om de brittiska öarna. Minst 30 fartyg förliste på den irländska kusten.Bild: Den spanska armadan av Jan Luyken, 1679, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Om man vill läsa något mer om Spanska armadan kan Rupert Matthew bok The Spanish Armada.

Does ambition have to be seen as corrupting, or like a kind of illness'? These are the questions the business writer Stefan Stern asks in his book, Fair or Foul: the Lady Macbeth Guide to Ambition. He argues that far from the cliché of a scheming wife, Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth demonstrates a more sophisticated understanding of human nature, that could help us navigate the pitfalls of ambition today.The playwright Zinnie Harris made Lady Macbeth the hero of her adaptation of the classic play last year. But now she's focused on the figure of The Duchess of Malfi, in a contemporary retelling.

SCOTTISH BORDERS – PART 2 So many people who rush to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland miss the amazing beauty of the Lowlands, and the Borders area of Scotland in particular. This Podcast takes up where we left off in Part 1 and we start at the incredible Jedburgh abbey with a walk around the town to see the Old Castle jail before heading off to Mary Queen of Scott's house where you'll hear of her ill health after visiting her lover, Bothwell. Then we'll drive to another lovely ruin at Melrose and I'll let you know a little more about the lives of the monks who lived in these places to give you an insight into Monastic life. And what does Melrose Abbey have to do with the heart of our greatest king,  Robert the Bruce? We'll also look at the towns of Selkirk and Galashiels that have so much to offer and we will then head over to have a look at Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott the most celebrated Scottish author of his generation. Before we end, I'll tell you about the Border Reivers, renegades and outlaws, who controlled the Border area for hundreds of year. You will also hear from previous Guests, the Wood family, and an incredible chance meeting with a close relative they never knew existed. This will have quite an effect on you. You will also hear from another of my guests, the celebrated American author Mary Anne Edwards, who writes the Detective series ‘Charlie McClung' and it was apt that we finished our tour at Abbotsford House where Mary Ann could study Sir Walter Scott, our own celebrated author. You can find her 'Charlie McClung' series of books on Amazon.

They cheat and they lie, so it's immoral, and often there are things that are just illegal in other instances, such as forgery of documents. Other people would get their ears clipped or their noses slit if they forged documents.If you are a spy, you are being asked to do that on the job. So it's a dangerous game and the lines are very thin.” – Nadine Akkerman.

Born amid the turmoil of 16th century British society, Mary Queen of Scots was a leader trapped between Scotland and England, Catholic and Protestant ideologies, as well as love and duty. But she was also a woman with burning ambition, and her obsession with securing the English throne would define her life, and death. So, was Mary Stuart a plotter who would stop at nothing to realise her dreams? Or a wronged woman, manipulated by those around her? And did her dying father's prophecy about her role in Scotland's history prove correct? This is a Short History Of…Mary Queen of Scots. A Noiser Production, written by Jo Furniss. With thanks to Tracy Borman, a historian and author of several books, including The Private Lives of the Tudors.  Get every episode of Short History Of a week early with Noiser+.

IN THIS EPISODE: Due to a murderous plot, 11-year old Terry Jo Duperrault spent 84 grueling hours alone at sea until she was rescued. (Orphaned At Sea) *** Moving into your own place alone for the first time is often an exciting moment in a young adult's life – but it can also be a bit nerve-racking. But then, it probably doesn't help if you move into a place that is haunted. (My Closet Door) *** The true story of Rasputin is full of both truths and lies. Was he a controversial mystic with healing powers, or an evil or misunderstood man? Maybe he was a little of both. (Rasputin) *** The Lake Club in Springfield, Illinois had its heyday in 1940s and 50s – and not even a lingering ghost could stop the parties.

#514 Bag For Life Full of Bones - Richard returns to his kingdom of Edinburgh and it's Chriiiiissstttmas (in a few weeks or a few months ago, whichever way you look at it).
