The Lord Descends Into Hell (from an ancient homily on Holy Saturday)
Something strange is happening—there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear.
He has gone to search for our first parent, as for a lost sheep. … [More]

Not sure what the picture is saying but the music is beyond compare, Ahhh Bach!

'The child is father to the man.' How can he be? The words are wild. Suck any sense from that who can: 'The child is father to the man.' No; what the poet did write ran, 'The man is father to the child.' 'The child is father to the man!' How can he be? The words are wild.

Dear Holy Rope. Geo Gratias for the post. I still love the song, and even the times it reflected. I found the full 33 RPM LP pictured in the clip at a yardsale 10 years ago. It was in perfect condition. The Album has a number of water color drawings included. Quite simple and beautiful. She really was The Smiling Sister (while she was in habit).

Please pray for the soul of Sister Luc Gabriel (Jeanine Deckers) . She unfortunately apostatized and lived a sad life, ending poorly at age 51.

It is a good thing to choose your hymns now before "The Gospel According to Oprah" is proclaimed at your Funeral Mass.

Irapuato,
Where did you find this sister? It is a great find. I believe his children are active in the Faith to this day.

After 22 years of marriage I am still plumbing the depths of the feminine word "Fine".

DG for the posting. I have never seen this version. A classic seen. Actually there are several similar stories in the Desert Fathers.

Yuck. They are using an unauthorized, uncannonical and illicit version of the Hours. They replace "Him" with "God", "who" and any other emasculating word except "Him". God forgive them and grant them repentance.

Doina is correct. This is very intelligent. A great reflection of the Modern Educator: Insular, self absorbed and de humanizingly program oriented.

Just arrived back from a visit to Ireland last Friday (18 days). We stayed in Co Leitrim up north and were able to receive the BBC that is broadcast into the Six Counties. The bitter, vitrioloc, hateful and slanderous coverage was repulsive. There was no news of the beatification of JHN, just lots of face/screen time for anti-Catholic diatribe against the Holy Father.
JHN was right in the Apologia: it is always the Catholic Church that is being opposed.
Prayed for all at Knock. EJG Catholic … [More]
