Les Canadiens sont-ils trop américanisés pour avoir une identité qui leur est propre? Au Canada, cette question préoccupe la population et les chercheurs depuis des années. Dans ce recueil d'articles publiés entre 1970 et 2000, Alan Smith étudie l'influence de la société américaine sur l'identité canadienne. En partant de la prémisse que la meilleure façon de comprendre le Canada est de mettre en relation avec les États-Unis, Smith explore les différentes manières dont cette influence a éprouvé l'indépendance culturelle du Canada et s'interroge sur l'existence d'une identité canadienne véritablement distincte.

« Les articles de Smith reflètent son importante contribution au domaine des études canadiennes. Réunis ici, ils dressent un portrait riche et évocateur de la société canadienne à partir d'une large palette de mythes politiques, sociaux, culturels et littéraires persistants. » A. B. McKillop, département d'histoire, Université de Carleton

Le Canada : une nation américaine ?

"Woman Behold Thy Son; Behold Thy Mother." (John 19:26-27)Meditations on the Third Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. SheenFor years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the subject of Christ's seven last words from the Cross "for the fifty-eighth consecutive time." Whether from the young priest in Peoria, Illinois, the university professor in Washington, D. C., or the bishop in New York, Sheen's messages were sure to make an indelible mark on his listeners. Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to bring together in this anthology some of Archbishop Sheen's meditations on the Seven Last Words Our Blessed Lord spoke from the Cross on Calvary. This anthology has been arranged to provide nine unique reflections for study and meditation on the words "Woman Behold Thy Son; Behold Thy Mother." (John 19:26-27)These meditations are taken from several books and articles written by Sheen between 1933 and 1945. The Seven Last Words (New York: Century, 1933)The Seven Last Words and the Our Father (Huntington, Indiana: Our Sunday Visitor 1935)Calvary and the Mass (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1936)The Cross and the Beatitudes (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1937)The Rainbow of Sorrow (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1938)Victory over Vice (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1939)The Seven Virtues (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1940)Seven Words to the Cross (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1944)Seven Words of Jesus and Mary (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1945)Each meditation will offer the reader a mini-retreat on the following topics. First Meditation - A reflection on the words "Woman Behold Thy Son; Behold Thy Mother". Second Meditation - A reflection on a passage from the Lord's Prayer. (Thy Kingdom Come). Third Meditation - A reflection on a part of the Mass (The Sanctus). Fourth Meditation - A reflection on one of the Beatitudes (Blessed are the Clean of Heart). Fifth Meditation - A reflection about the suffering of the innocent. Sixth Meditation - A reflection addressing one of the seven deadly sins (Lust). Seventh Meditation - A reflection on the virtues (Prudence). Eighth Meditation - A reflection on dealing with individuals who reject the Church and Christ's teachings (A word to Sinners). Ninth Meditation - A reflection on the unity of Jesus and Mary and the "Fellowship of Religion". As the readers ponder these reflections, they might have to pause for a moment or two over a sentence that is full of deep meaning that stirs the heart. They might also find that Archbishop Sheen has repeated certain lines throughout these reflections to drive home a point or an important theme, as any good teacher would do. Archbishop Sheen's dynamic personality combined with his brilliant mind, tireless pen, and eloquent voice has made him one of the best-known figures in the world.  His books and magazine articles continue to gratify and attract a boundless circle of readers. This collection of meditations gives still another example of why this continues to be so today.

(Son) Behold thy mother!"GOD AND THE SOUL -  "My God! My God! Why hast Thou hast abandoned Me?"THE NEED OF ZEAL - "I thirst."A PLANNED UNIVERSE - "It is finished."ETERNAL FREEDOM - "Father, into Thy Hands, I commend My Spirit."This book has one main aim and that is to awaken an appreciation of the Passion of Our Lord and to hopefully incite in the reader a better understanding of pain and suffering.

His topics ranged from politics and the economy to philosophy and man's eternal pursuit of happiness. Along with his weekly radio program, Sheen wrote dozens of books and pamphlets. One can safely say that through his writings, thousands of people changed their perspective about God and the Church. Sheen was quoted as saying, "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."Possessing a burning zeal to dispel the myths about Our Lord and His Church, Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2).

Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to reintroduce these reflections once again on the rainbow of sorrow. God Love You.
