On this feast of Saint Nicholas, when in many parts of the Catholic world it has been a centuries-old custom to give small gifts, it occurred to me to remind fellow lovers of the liturgy that the 2014 Calendar from the Monks of Norcia is
available for purchase as a way to support these monks in their daily life of work and prayer, a simple but sublime expression of the Benedictine charism. (We are thinking about Christmas presents these days, are we not...?)
This calendar, which I
reviewed here in detail, is a splendid overview of the Roman Rite in both its forms, as the calendar gives the Sundays, feastdays, and memorials for the Vetus Ordo and the Novus Ordo. Check it out.
