Photopost Catch-up: August 2019

Gregory DiPippo

We are always glad to receive photos of your liturgies, even when we haven’t specifically asked for them for a major feast. Here are three sets from various events: Masses of Our Lady of Mt Carmel, a green Sunday celebrated in a Pugin church, and St John-Marie Vianney. We also have a few amices from our friends Fr Jeffery Keyes and the Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa.

São João Del Rei – Minas Gerais, Brazil
Solemn Mass of Our Lady of Carmel, celebrated by His Excellency José Eudes, bishop of São João Del Rei.
St Augustine’s Church – Ramsgate, Kent, England
Mass of the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost on July 21st; this church was built by Augustus Pugin next to his own home, very close to the site where St Augustine of Canterbury first arrived in England in 597AD. A 360⁰ tour of the church can be seen at this website:

Holy Angels Church – Sidney, Ohio
With permission granted of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the church observed the feast of St John Vianney in the ordinary form on Sunday, August 4, followed by a procession around the church grounds with the first class relic of St John Vianney, and afterwards, individual blessings and veneration of the relic.
The church also regularly keeps St John’s feast with a Mass in the Extraordinary Form on the appropriate day, August 8th; here are two photos of last year’s Mass.
Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa - Santa Rosa, California
As we have noted on some other occasions, the sister sacristans make these designs with the amice ties when laying out the vestments for their chaplain, Fr Jeffrey Keyes, who very kindly sends us these photos. The first of these is a pall hand-embroideered by one of the sisters with the letters SJ for Saint Joseph.
May 17 - St Paschal Baylon, Patron Saint of Eucharistic Congresses
May 20th - St Bernardine of Siena, the great promoter of devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus
July 13 - Saturday Votive Mass of the Virgin Mary
July 17th - Votive Mass of St Joseph
July 22nd - “MM” for St Mary Magdalene
And a grill for St Lawrence - happy feast day!

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...

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...
