Readers in the Boston and southern New Hampshire area may be interested to know that Shawn Tribe, founder and editor and the New Liturgical Movement website will address the students of Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in Merrimack, New Hampshire. Shawn's talk, which is also open to the general public, is entitled "The Sacred Liturgy, the Liturgical Life and the New Liturgical Movement." In it he will address such questions as, what is the sacred liturgy and why is it important in the life of the Church? Why should it be important in the life of individual Catholics? What was the Liturgical Movement and what is a "New Liturgical Movement"?
He will explore the these questions by discussing what the Church teaches us about the sacred liturgy. As well, he looks at the question of what is the "New Liturgical Movement", looking into some of the goals of the original Liturgical Movement of the 20th century. He also proposes some thoughts on some of the different aspects and considerations of the New Liturgical Movement and how we might participate in that movement.
It starts at 7pm in the library building at the campus: 6 Manchester Street, Merrimack, NH 03054

The Solemnity of St Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church 2025Gregory DiPippo
From the Encyclical Quamquam pluries of Pope Leo XIII on St Joseph, issued on the feast of the Assumption in 1889. It is providential that the conclave to elect a new pope should begin on this important solemnity; let us remember to count Joseph especially among the Saints to whom we address our prayers for a good outcome of this election. The spe...
Why the Traditional Mass Should Remain In LatinPeter Kwasniewski
In spite of attempts to suppress it, the traditional Latin Mass is here to stay. It may not be as widespread as it was in the halcyon days of Summorum Pontificum, but neither is it exactly hidden under a bushel, as the early Christians were during the Roman persecutions. In many cites, gigantic parishes run by former Ecclesia Dei institutes are pac...
An Illuminated Manuscript of St John’s ApocalypseGregory DiPippo
In honor of the feast of St John at the Latin Gate, here is a very beautiful illuminated manuscript which I stumbled across on the website of the Bibliothèque national de France (Département des Manuscrits, Néerlandais 3), made 1400. It contains the book of the Apocalypse in a Flemish translation, with an elaborately decorated page before each chap...

Clear Creek Abbey in northwest Oklahoma (diocese of Tulsa: located at 5804 W Monastery Road in Hulbert) will once again be hosting a week-long instruction in Gregorian chant, based on the course called Laus in Ecclesia, from Monday, July 14, to Friday, July 18. The course will be offered at three different levels of instruction:1) Gregorian initiat...
The Feast of St Vincent FerrerGregory DiPippo
The feast of St Vincent Ferrer was traditionally assigned to the day of his death, April 5th, but I say “assigned to” instead of “kept on” advisedly; that date falls within either Holy Week or Easter week so often that its was either translated or omitted more than it was celebrated on its proper day. [1] For this reason, in 2001 the Dominicans mov...
Good Shepherd Sunday 2025Gregory DiPippo
Dearest brethren, Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow His steps; Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth; Who, when He was reviled, did not revile. When He suffered, he threatened not, but delivered Himself to him that judged Him unjustly; Who His own self bore our sins in His body upon the tree: that...
The Gospel of Nicodemus in the Liturgy of EastertideGregory DiPippo
By “the Gospel of Nicodemus”, I mean not the apocryphal gospel of that title, but the passage of St John’s Gospel in which Christ speaks to Nicodemus, chapter 3, verses 1-21. This passage has an interesting and complex history among the readings of the Easter season. For liturgical use, the Roman Rite divides it into two parts, the second of which...
“The Angel Cried Out” - The Byzantine Easter Hymn to the Virgin MaryGregory DiPippo
In the Byzantine Divine Liturgy, there are several places where the priest sings a part of the anaphora out loud, and the choir makes a response, while he continues the anaphora silently. In the liturgy of St John Chrysostom, which is by far the more commonly used of the two anaphoras, the priest commemorates the Saints after the consecration and ...
The LavaboMichael P. Foley
Lost in Translation #124 After the incensation, the priest goes to the Epistle side and washes his hands, reciting Psalm 25, 6-12: Lavábo inter innocentes manus meas: et circúmdabo altáre tuum, Dómine.Ut audiam vocem laudis: et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.Dómine, dilexi decórem domus tuae: et locum habitatiónis gloriae tuae.Ne perdas cum impii...
Spinello Aretino’s Altar of Ss Philip and JamesGregory DiPippo
At the very end of the 14th century, the painter Spinello di Luca Spinelli (1350 ca. - 1410 ca.), usually known as Spinello Aretino (from Arezzo) was commissioned to make a frescoed altarpiece for the Dominican church of his native city. The altar itself no longer exists; it was dedicated to the Apostles Philip and James, whose feast is traditional...
