  1. North #Wales market town at centre of royal claim over '#ManorialRights' to its minerals

    Residents of #Pwllheli receive letters saying Crown Estate wants to register ownership of the minerals beneath their homes

    Dean Kirby
    Thursday 04 February 2016

    “It is over 600 years since Pwllheli in North Wales was given its charter by Edward, the Black Prince.

    “But now the ancient market town is at the centre of a #Royal claim over the 'manorial rights' to the ground on which its foundations are built. Around 1,300 homeowners in Pwllheli and nearby Morfa Nefyn have been sent letters saying the Crown Estate wants to register ownership of mines and minerals beneath their houses.

    “The estate, which manages sovereign land, says it has owned rights over the minerals for many centuries and is now having to register its ownership after protection over these rights was withdrawn under new land registration laws.

    “But the letters sent out by the Land Registry notifying residents of the claim have sparked 'worry and alarm' according to the town’s MP, who says the Crown Estate’s bid mirrors the 'grasping, unprincipled landlordism' that has bedevilled Wales in the past.

    “The row comes two years after residents in Anglesey and the Arfon area of Gwynedd pledged to challenge similar notices sent out on behalf of the Crown Estate claiming ownership over ancient rights to minerals and mining.

    “Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, which includes Pwllheli, said: 'This has alarmed my constituents and has been the cause of great worry for local people

    “'Staking claim to mining and mineral rights reeks of the 19th century, not the 21st century. There is no place for this kind of approach today.'

    “Mike Parry, a town councillor in Pwllheli, said: 'These letters are worrying for people, especially the elderly, who are concerned about what will happen to their homes.'

    “The Crown Estate is an independent commercial business, with a history dating back to 1066. It has been tasked by Parliament since 1760 with managing the sovereign’s land.

    “Over the last 10 years it has returned a £2.3bn profit to the Treasury. Its portfolio includes Regent Street and much of St James’s in London – and the entire UK seabed.

    “Homeowners in Pwllheli have been told they can challenge the claim, but must provide evidence that they are entitled to whatever minerals might lie beneath their homes.

    “The minerals, if they exist at all, might include deposits of sand, rock or even quartz. But they would not include coal, oil, gas, silver or gold, which are covered by other legislation.

    “A spokeswoman for the Crown Estate said: 'Along with many other landowners, the Crown Estate is in the process of registering historical mineral rights with the Land Registry.

    “'These claims are not new and we would like to reassure local residents that the registration process is in no way an indication of our intent to begin mining, which in any event would require planning permission and the surface owner’s consent.'"

  8. I just noticed that my friend Pounamu was interviewed for Mapuna on RNZ last year;

    rnz.co.nz/podcast/mapuna-podca

    The interview was published on 30 November, just after the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti arrived at Parliament. One of the things Pounamu talks about is staying in a space of manaakitanga when we have difficult intercultural conversations, like the one about whether or not rangatira ceded sovereignty to the Crown when they signed.

    BLESSEDS ANGEL MARIA PRAT HOSTENCH,

    LUCAS OF ST. JOSEPH TRISTANY PUJOL, 
    PRIESTS, AND COMPANIONS
    Martyrs

    Optional Memorial

    In the houses in Spain:  Memorial

    Carmel desired to bring together in one single memorial its own martyrs who, in different locations in Spain, bore witness during the long and bloody Civil War (1936-1939). Mentioned in this memorial are Father Angel Maria Prat Hostench, O. Carm., killed with his community in Tarrega in 1936, and Father Lucas of St. Joseph O.C.D., killed with his fellow friars in Barcelona, also in 1936. In this memorial, we also remember the groups from Lérida, Tarragona, Toledo, Olot, Terrasa, etc. The entire group of bishops, diocesan priests, religious from various orders, and laity was beatified partly (498 martyrs) by Benedict XVI on October 28, 2007, and partly (522 martyrs) by Francis on October 13, 2013.

    From the Common of Several Martyrs

    OFFICE OF READINGS

    The Second Reading
    From a letter by Saint Cyprian, bishop and martyr
    (Ep. 6, 1–2: CSEL 3, 480–482)

    I greet you, dearest brothers, and would like also to enjoy your company face to face, if only the conditions in which I find myself did not prevent my coming to see you. What could be more desirable or more joyful for me than to embrace you now, to be encircled by those pure and sinless hands that have kept the faith of the Lord and refused to offer sacrilegious worship?

    What could be more pleasant, more sublime, than to kiss at this moment those lips of yours, which have given such glorious utterance in praise of the Lord; to be seen also by those eyes of yours, which have despised the world and proved themselves worthy of seeing God?

    But, because there is no opportunity for my sharing this joy, I send this letter as my representative for your ears and eyes to hear and see. Through it I congratulate you, and at the same time urge you to persevere courageously and steadfastly in your witness to heavenly glory, and to continue with spiritual courage, now that you have entered on the way that the Lord has graciously opened up for you, until you receive the crown of victory. You have the Lord as your protector and guide, for he has said: Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.

    How blessed is the prison honored by your presence, how blessed the prison that sends men of god to heaven! Darkness brighter than the sun  itself, more resplendent than this light of the world, for it is here that God’s temples are now established, and your limbs made holy by your praise of God.

    Let nothing else be now in your hearts and minds except God’s commandments and the precepts of heaven: by their means the Holy Spirit has always inspired you to bear your sufferings. Let no one think of death, but only of immortality; let no one think of suffering that is for a time, but only of glory that is for eternity. It is written: Precious in the sight of God is the death of his holy ones. And again: A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit; a broken and humbled heart God does not despise.

    Holy Scripture speaks also of the sufferings which consecrate God’s martyrs and sanctify them by the very testing of pain: Though in the eyes of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. They will judge nations, and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever.

    When, therefore, you recall that you will be judges and rulers with Christ the Lord, you must rejoice, despising present suffering for joy at what is to come. You know that from the beginning of the world it was so; justice is here oppressed in its conflict with the world, for at the very outset Abel the just is killed, and after him the just, and those sent as prophets and apostles.

    The Lord himself is an example of all this in his own person. He teaches us that only those who have followed him along his way arrive at his kingdom: He who loves his life in this world, will lose it. And he who hates his life in this world, will save it for eternal life. And again he says: Do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; fear rather him who can kill both body and soul and send them to hell.

    Paul too admonishes us, that as we desire to gain the Lord’s promises we must imitate the Lord in all things. We are God’s children, he tells us. If children, we are also heirs of God, and coheirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

    Responsory

    R/. We are warriors now, fighting on the battlefield of faith, and God sees all we do; the angels watch and so does Christ. * What honor and glory and joy, to do battle in the presence of God, and to have Christ approve our victory (alleluia).
    V/. Let us arm ourselves in full strength and prepare ourselves for the ultimate struggle with blameless hearts, true faith and unyielding courage. * What honor and glory and joy, to do battle in the presence of God, and to have Christ approve our victory (alleluia).

    Prayer

    Almighty God,
    you gave your blessed Carmelite martyrs of Spain
    the grace to confront death
    so to confess your word and bear witness to Jesus;
    grant us the power of the Holy Spirit
    to remain steadfast in the faith
    and strong in the confession of your name.

    Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
    who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
    God, for ever and ever.

  15. Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel 2025: Day 4

    Day 4
    A Meek and Humble Heart

    Scripture Reading
    Luke 8:19–21

    Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” But he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

    Pray with St. Edith Stein
    ESGA 20, “Sub tutela Matris”

    O Mary…
    Give me a meek and humble heart
    that loves without expecting anything in return;
    that joyfully makes space in another’s heart
    for your Son.

    What About My Own Life?

    God’s folly is wiser than human wisdom (1 Cor 1:25): to gain your life, you must dare to lose it… Today, I can choose to freely give of myself—my time, my love, my effort—for those who have been given to me as brothers and sisters…

    NOVENA PRAYER

    O Most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel,
    Fruitful Vine, Splendor of heaven,
    Blessed Mother of the Son of God,
    Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity.
    O Star of the Sea, help me
    and show me herein that you are my Mother.

    O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth,
    I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart
    to succor me in this necessity.
    There are none that can withstand your power!
    O help me and show me herein that you are my Mother.

    Our Lady, Queen and Beauty of Carmel,
    pray for me and obtain my requests!
    Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands!
