Delivered by Fiona from the Parish of Mary Queen of the Rosary in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Daniel 6: 12-28; Rs psalm: Add. Dan 3: 68.69.70.71.72.73.74; Luke 21: 20-28.PASSING THE NEEDLE'SHOLE Our meditation today isentitled: Passing the Needle's Hole. The experience of exile and captivity isvery unpleasant. Living in a strange place and you do not have anyone near by,it is greatly sad. For anyone who wants to endure and survive, he must gothrough all challenges and difficulties. He must rely on God he believes in.His life like having to go through a needle's hole. This is a reality should befaced with patience and struggle. The young Danielexperienced captivity and exile as narrated to us by today's first reading.This Jewish youth is an all-out enemy by haters who wanted to destroy him. ButKing Darius, who respected God, was the one on the Daniel's side. After it wasproven that Daniel's punishment being destroyed in the lion's den wasunsuccessful, Daniel was finally released and the recognition of the just andtrue God was made by the King and his entire kingdom, while the criminals andhaters were put to death. In these days leadingus to the end of our liturgical year, the proclamation of God's word about theend of time illustrates a frightening and trembling emotion. This situation canbe understood as a transitional or a shift moment. Every transition or shifthas more critical situation compared to calm and pleasant condition. Peoplehave to go certain extent to prepare everything. People must decide to leavethe unnecessary, and they are filled with shadows about the next steps that arenot certain. A transition periodcan be seen as a state such as having to pass through a needle's hole. Indifficult situation and seemingly only little hope of release, the call tofreedom and salvation becomes so important. There, one's faith is tested sothat it becomes stronger and able to survive. One's hope also becomes strongerfor the promise of beautiful and extraordinary achievement will come true. Thisis the characteristic of our Christian faith which comes from the way of thecross of Jesus Christ. The cross of the LordJesus Christ is the principle sign of victory. In the cross the Lord institutesa total destruction of life on earth and death. But God at the same timecreates victory and new life as a divine gift that will never again destroyedor perished. All the horrifying images in transition, as portrayed in theGospel passage today as an event of the fulfillment of time, are opportunitiesthat we must face and pass through in our Lord Jesus Christ. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord truth and wisdom, in a needle's hole and difficult situation, may wealways see and find You. Our Father who art in heaven... In the name of theFather ...

She made her name transforming dusty old Harvey Nichols into global fashion destination Harvey Nicks (with a little bit of help from Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Absolutely Fabulous!), leaving after a decade to found Portas her own creative company, helping to transform some of the many companies and brands who'd tried and failed to poach her. Mary went from industry famous to on-the-street famous when over three and a half million people tuned into BBC's Mary Queen of Shops back in 2007 and she has been a regular on our TVs ever since.

Linlithgow Palace, set between Edinburgh and Stirling, was one of the great royal residences of the Scottish crown. It was the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots and a favored court for the Stuart monarchs long before the Union of the Crowns in 1603. When her son, James VI of Scotland, ascended the English throne as James I—the very monarch under whom William Shakespeare's company became the King's Men—the cultural and political world of Linlithgow directly fed into the world Shakespeare inhabited and wrote for. While Shakespeare likely never visited Linlithgow himself, the palace remained symbolically important in his lifetime. In fact, when part of the palace collapsed in 1607, a formal report was sent to James—now James I of England—detailing the damage and requesting royal attention. That connection between a crumbling Scottish stronghold and an English king who patronized Shakespeare makes for a compelling link between the palace and the playwright. Admittedly, exploring Linlithgow as part of Shakespeare's world requires a slight chronological and geographical stretch—but it's a leap well worth taking. The palace was a cultural and ceremonial stage for the Scottish monarchy, and its chapel in particular would have resonated with sacred music and royal spectacle that shaped the theatricality of early modern power on both sides of the border. Today's guest, James Cook, is a scholar and musician who led a remarkable project to recreate the sound of choral music as it might have been heard at Linlithgow Palace in that very year—1512. Using a blend of historical research, vocal performance, and virtual reality technology, James and his team brought this long-lost acoustic experience back to life. In our conversation today, we'll explore Linlithgow Palace itself—its significance in the lives of Mary Queen of Scots, James VI, and Anne of Denmark—and how music played a role in shaping royal image, religious devotion, and political theater. We'll also talk with James about the recreation of the 1512 performance, how virtual reality is reshaping historical interpretation, and what it might have sounded like if you were a member of the royal household, listening to sacred music in that chapel over 500 years ago.

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 ...

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.

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?

Who was the hotheaded James Hepburn, the Earl of Bothwell, and why would he come to play such a devastating role in Mary's life? Could Mary survive unburnt if the religious tensions smouldering at the heart of Scotland, erupted into a bonfire of destruction? Why did she personally lead a Scottish army into battle, pistols in hand? And, who in her inner circle was brutally murdered before her very eyes?

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? Did she handle the precarious situation in which she found herself well, or recklessly? Did the majority of Scottish nobles side with Mary, or plot to usurp her in the shadows? 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.'

In this week's episode, Charbel sits down with Sr Mother Corazon J Salazar and Sr. Gliceria Cruz from Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries. The Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries was established to address the cruelest result of impoverishment in the Philippines. Young girls being forced into the sex trafficking trade due to poverty. Girls ages 8 to 15 are locked in rooms and exposed to rape, diseases and murder. Many die quite young before they even have a chance to live.

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. The post A Novena for the Annunciation – Day 4 – Mary, Queen of Peace appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

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.

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+.
