Some of you may recall a priest who was selling some liturgical books, including some rarer one's. He had a good response to the first pass and is now hoping one final pass with some reduced prices, might finish off the lot. If you're interested in these, please email Fr. Thomas Simons directly.
(There are still some treasures here by the way.)

A Liturgical Oddity of Holy MondayGregory DiPippo
In the Missal of St Pius V, there is a very small number of days on which two Scriptural lessons are read before the Gospel: the Wednesdays of the Embertides, of the fourth week of Lent and Holy Week, and Good Friday. As I have described elsewhere, these readings are actually part of a block which is inserted into the Mass between the Kyrie and the...
