Research Paper On Suger Of St-Denis

As I take this chance to reflect, I discovered a truth, the sky is the limit. During my years at St. Luke, I have developed as a student, an athlete, and as a member of the Catholic Church. I believe that everyone brings something special gift to the world, and I believe my gift is that of determination to become a great man through faith and education. I have been an alter server for about two years. Being an alter server has brought me closer to God and my Catholic community. Education has been a big part of my life. I can truly say I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to attend St. Luke. After St. Luke, my plans are to use my education and become prepared to take on the challenges and rewards of high school.

It is unknown the exact date of Saint George’s birth, but scholars say it was most likely in 236 AD in the city of Lydda. His parents were Gerontius, a Roman officer, and Polychronia, a Greek native of Lydda. Both of his parents were Christians from noble families and raised George to be the same (St. George –Saints & Angels-Catholic Online). George was in Diocletian's army since his seventh year (Larson). Diocletian was the Roman Emperor at the time of Saint George who had a powerful hate of Christians. By his late 20s, George served as an imperial guard for the Emperor at Nicomedia. On February 24, 303 A.D., Diocletian announced that he would arrest every Christian. He also declared that every other soldier should offer a sacrifice to the Roman gods. George refused Diocletian’s order, but Diocletian had a great relationship with George’s father. Diocletian bribed George to believe in pagan gods, but George refused. Diocletian eventually ordered his death. Before his death, George gave money to the poor and went through torture sessions (St. George-Saints & Angels-Catholic Online). It is unknown the exact way that George died; some say chopped into pieces, others say buried to death, and others say consumed by fire (St. George). George died on April 23, 303, which is his feast day in today’s world

From being a healer of bodily ailments, Saint Blaise became a physician of souls, then retired for a time, by divine inspiration, to a cavern where he remained in prayer. As bishop of Sebastea, Blaise instructed his people as much by his example as by his words, and the great virtues of the servant of God were attested by many miracles. From all parts, the people came to him for the cure of bodily ills.

Since the Order of Preachers was founded in 1200s by Saint Dominic de Guzman, it has never desisted on safeguarding the ones who are needed. Jesus said once: Love each other as I have loved you (John 15:12). Therefore, the members of the congregation have always practiced the common life as one way to let the Word of God enter into people’s hearts, especially of those who lack of money. Saint Martin de Porres was one exemplary saint that during all his life followed the founder’s will: Have charity, guard humility, and make your treasure out of voluntary poverty (St. Dominic). His special love for those who were rejected because of their condition has endured until nowadays. Despite the fact that many centuries have passed, the Dominicans’

The Medieval period was perhaps one of the most interesting and unique time periods in history. This time is usually viewed as a lull in progress or lacking productivity, when in reality this was one of the most pivotal points in history. Two people who played outstanding roles in this time period were those of King Saint Louis IX of France and Richard Lionheart I of England. Both King Louis IX and Richard Lionheart made significant social, political, and cultural advancements to society by contributing leadership techniques and government systems that were pivotal in the Medieval times, yet very contrasting of each other in their execution.

There were three kings named Clovis, Charlemagne, and Alfred. They were all successful during their reigns within Europe. However, King Charles was the best ruler according to the model of early medieval kingship. One may ask what the model of early medieval kingship is. Well, a ruler to be considered the best would have to be a great conqueror, warrior, and defender of Christianity. King Charles during his rule was able to ascertain all three of these prerequisites for being a great ruler. Therefore, I will compare and contrast him, and his reign, to Clovis and Alfred to support my statement. I will also touch on how audience’s perceptions may be misguided due to the king’s biographers. I will begin the next paragraph examining King Charles exploits and why he fits the criteria of the best ruler.

Paris was located at the cross of major trade routes and merchants who set up there could make more profit as more people would pass through Paris compared to other cities. This led to more merchants wanting to set up in Paris and Paris grew to be a large, influential city. The rise in Paris's economy - from the merchants' and customers' transactions -led to Paris's wealth, and its expansion and urbanization. As trade routes expanded, locations at the crossroads of routes became more successful

On a small peninsula, 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, there is a single stretch of road that leads into a fascinating place called Isle de Jean Charles. This is a place where living off the land is a way of life that is quickly becoming impossible to accomplish. The wetlands that used to provide nourishment for the plants and wildlife have now been replaced with the water from the Gulf and neither the freshwater marshes nor the vegetation were able to sustain this intrusion. Where there used to be a forest full of animals for trapping and hunting, there is salty water rippled only by poisoned carcasses of massive oak trees that still stand. The people living on the island are desperate and the Army Corps of Engineers has the power to help. The residents of Isle de Jean Charles deserve to see their children and grandchildren grow up on the land that they call home, but at what cost?

France in Middle Ages era was ruled by the arbitrary monarch. Besides the king, the clergy and the nobility, which were the officials of the church and the group of aristocrats respectively, had supreme power than the society. In the way it ran, there were many problems in the social and economic section, such as poverty and taxation issues. Thus, French Revolution is one of the turning points of French public life. It is popular with the slogan “liberty, equality and fraternity” that brought French to be a new revolutionary country. While many people are still arguing whether French Revolution is the main effect of the Enlightenment ideas emergence or social economic disruption, I will argue that this revolution was an ultimate outcome of the social and economics disarray by looking at the details of foreign and internal aspects.

Philip Augustus undoubtedly faced weak Angevin opposition. However, it was the economic, administrative and ideological changes that had taken place in Capetian France, which were the real driving force behind Philip 's success. John’s comparative weakness and poor leadership credentials made Capetian success even more likely, but did not make it inevitable. Philip had to harness the French economy and win the support of his nobility. He was so successful in these endeavors that he would have been a match for any 12th century European power.

The crusades, massive military campaigns under religious banners, increased the desire for trade upon their return, with small items and stories that returning and/or surviving crusaders brought back to Europe.1 This and other incentives, such as Marco Polo’s famous book, expanded countries’ economies beyond their own borders.6 Demand for items like these made trade routes from place to place essential. The silk roads were major trade routes that dated back to the time of the Roman Empire, collapsing along with the Romans. But as the Mongol Empire connected lands across Eurasia, the silk roads witnessed a rebirth. 8 These routes, running from the Byzantine Empire to the farthest reaches of China, soon became essential for trade across Eurasia.8 The economy, which was previously based on feudal manors and the work of the peasants, became heavily dependent on traded products and manufactured goods.3 Banks flourished, with moneylending growing as a business.3 The rise of the middle class also led to the growth of towns.
