I’ve gone to St. Joseph University Parish pretty much whenever I’ve been in Terre Haute, IN. It is the University Parish, and my understanding is that, since it is the home to the campus ministry programs at Rose-Hulman (among others), it is my spiritual home. St. Joseph’s has been the cause for much spiritual development […]
Coming on the heels of my last post about the Divine Office and its timelessness, this wonderful reflection is posted by one of the priests of Silverstream Priory at the blog Vultus Christi: Before going down to Vespers last evening, I remarked to Father Benedict that I was far more interested in what the Magnificat Antiphon would be […]
Continuing with Thursday’s post on St. Louis Bertrand, provided below are the propers to St. Louis Bertrand’s Office. Lauds Antiphons (for Sunday Psalms): Louis, when you address the Lord who is glorious on high, the wondrous surgings of the sea are suddenly quiet. Let the noble and the lowly praise the Lord in this great […]
October 9th is the feast day of St. Louis Bertrand (in the 1962 calendar and onwards – in 1955 and earlier, his feast was observed on Oct 10), the Apostle to the Americas. He is the patron of my parish in Louisville, KY, and he is the namesake for my Knights of Columbus Council as […]
Over at New Liturgical Movement, Gregory DiPippo has translated (out of Italian) a beautiful meditation on the praying of the Divine Office by Bl. Card. Ildefonso Schuster, Archbishop of Milan, 1929-54. For Mr. DiPippo’s commentary, please see the NLM post, because it gives some context to the quote and when it was made. I close my […]
Over at Cream City Catholic, James has posted photos of something I’ve long wanted to see the insides of… Holy Trinity Catholic Church! It is one of the oldest churches in Milwaukee, having been built in 1849 (recall, we became a State in 1848!). From the photos, it seems that the interior beauty has been […]
For all of those lucky folks living in the great State of Wisconsin, the Tridentine Mass Society of Madison has released a tentative schedule for their Pontifical Masses as celebrated by His Excellency, Bishop Robert C Morlino.
A couple weeks ago, we celebrated St Dominic’s feast day (in the traditional and Dominican calendars on August 4th). The Ordo Praedicatorum Facebook page posted this image on the New Calendar feast day (August 8). I like this quote from St. Dominic. How true it is!
A few years ago, a Fr Erlenbush had a blog called the “New Theological Movement” over at Blogspot. He sadly had to retire the blog due to the demands of parish life, but he has thankfully left the blog online and running. One good post he wrote was on the Feast of St. Dominic (well, he […]
I just signed up for an email list run by some dude named TJ Burdick, and apparently the email list will provide me with a year’s worth of Summa reading, which means I’ll have trudged through the great work of the Angelic and Common Doctor in 365 days’ time. Somewhat exciting! I’ll maybe have to […]
