Robert’s incorrupt body lies under a side altar. The place is the Church of Sant’Ignazio near the Pantheon. Stine recommends viewing what was the most recent crowning, Britain, but even 10 minutes of that was a complete waste of time. He reads from the treatise on civil government, more specifically monarchy. Today, Alexander and I visited Comics and Collectibles, 1904 Fruitridge Rd., Sacramento, CA, and bought a Superman comic book for $4. I recommend this place for connoisseurs. The books in the large collection are in very good condition, and there are toys and several catalogs to browse. Below is a photo of the store’s ceiling tiles drawn and colored by local comic book illustrators.  Song of Roland

Parca is a verb meaning spare. These words always confused me: audi “hear”, exaudi “graciously hear” hmm From ralspaugh.wordpress.com, I got this – “To get the sense, compare with specto and exspecto. Specto is simply to look, while exspecto means to be on the lookout, to scan the horizon like a sentry for the anticipated arrival of a thing—hence, mundanely, to await. “Exaudio is the same thing but with listening, like when the fainting damsel in the horror movie is hiding in the dark house listening for sounds of the intruder. “Colloquially we might say. ‘Listen up, what I say next is important!’ or something like that. That’s the kind of attentive listening we are asking of God, not just that He happen to hear our prayers.” That was good. Ambrose’s sister is a saint: Marcellina. His brother was a lawyer: Satyrus of Milan. He died unexpectedly at Milan in 378, and Ambrose eulogized him with the funeral sermon, On the Death of a Brother, De excessu fratris Satyri. The word excessu magnifies Latin and diminishes English, which fails to transmit passion. Mary Magdalen is brushed with beauty, both physical and spiritual, and I am swept away by Joseph and the happy gaze of the superman’s Charge. When the cappuccino drink was first introduced in Italy, it was named after the Capuchin friars because the color of the espresso mixed with frothed milk was like the color of the Capuchin habit. The drink was first made in the early 1900s after the popularization of espresso machines and after Italians improved a good espresso and a balance of steamed and frothed milk. Is it your habit?

Stunning example of lexeme (word) beauty, quaquaversal is an adjective and comes from Latin quaqua versus meaning “turned wheresoever”.

Universe comes from the Latin uni- ‘one’ + versus ‘turned’.  1347-1380 Catherine’s life was explicitly offered for the good of the Church, which she loved wholeheartedly for the sake of Jesus her Bridegroom. Her letters are filled with appeals to join her in this unmitigated service. At times it can be tempting to be discouraged by the circumstances we see around us: divisions and conflicts within the Church, polarization in our nation, and wars and violence throughout the world. It can be tempting even to despair that anything can be done in the face of such unprecedented troubles. But we are not alone in this – our sister Catherine knows the things we face. Her lifetime saw an actual schism in the Church; polarization and feuds to the point of bloodshed in her city-state; wars near at hand and throughout Europe. She was slandered both by strangers and her own family and nearly assassinated during one of her times’ many riotous outbreaks. Indeed, we can say that like her Spouse, she is not one “who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way.” And Catherine was not crushed by this. Her heart was on the Cross with Jesus Crucified; her eyes were confidently fixed on Christ the Victorious One. She lived the message of the empty tomb: that it is through suffering and death that death itself is conquered, and that we fight on the side of One who has already won the battle. A reflection from Mother Amata Veritas of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist They wear a traditional habit, and the average age of the nuns in her community is 35. Here’s a little painting I have. Alexander saw it and said, “It’s creepy.” “Why?” I asked. He said, “He’s always looking at you.”  The only Brontë sister to marry was Charlotte, and dead at 26 was their only brother, to whom Wuthering Heights author Emily was especially close, and they say she was terribly shy. Their brother, Branwell, lacked male companions when he was growing up, and a female lover rejected him. Charlotte wrote to her publisher that Branwell died without ever knowing that his sisters had published a line. All is hard to read.
 For more information about the crowning in Notre-Dame, who the painter was, how he did it, and those in attendance, including Pius VII, who was originally pictured with hands crossed on his lap, but, as Napoleon supposedly claimed, the Pope was not present to do nothing, so N instructed the painter to depict Pius anointing the proceedings (N was 5'6, so making P sit behind was brill) … please go here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jacques-Louis_David_-_The_Coronation_of_Napoleon_(1805-1807).jpg
FSSP Cabot, Arkansas, northeast of Little Rock. We are asked to pray for Father Jared McCambridge one week from today, which is something lay members do.
Practicing Jews will recognize what is happening as the video ends. I sincerely hope Catholics do. Annual growth at FSSP parishes is intense. St. Stephen in Sacramento doubled since 2020 from 750 to 1,500 parishioners and continues to grow. FSSP parishes are growing, a 2019 survey shows. Waiting for the next survey. The Washington Examiner jury has not reached a verdict, but I have. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/traditional-catholic-parishes-grow-even-as-us-catholicism-declines On the high altar of Chartres Cathedral is a massive white marble sculpture of Mary by Charles-Antoine Bridan. The French sculptor (b. 1730, d. 1805) attended Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture and the French Academy in Rome. There he remained until 1762, whereupon he returned to the Académie in Paris and trained his son. On 12/30/1780 he was appointed professor of sculpture. If possible, please keep your hands behind/below the communion rail.
Pope Paul VI granted an indult in 1971 for use of the Latin Mass in England and Wales. Indult is a term from Catholic canon law referring to a permission to do something that would otherwise be forbidden.
The text of the appeal, dated July 6, 1971, follows: One of the axioms of contemporary publicity, religious as well as secular, is that modern man in general, and intellectuals in particular, have become intolerant of all forms of tradition and are anxious to suppress them and put something else in their place. But, like many other affirmations of our publicity machines, this axiom is false. Today, as in times gone by, educated people are in the vanguard where recognition of the value of tradition is concerned, and are the first to raise the alarm when it is threatened. If some senseless decree were to order the total or partial destruction of basilicas or cathedrals, then obviously it would be the educated - whatever their personal beliefs - who would rise up in horror to oppose such a possibility. Now the fact is that basilicas and cathedrals were built so as to celebrate a rite which, until a few months ago, constituted a living tradition. We are referring to the Roman Catholic Mass. Yet, according to the latest information in Rome, there is a plan to obliterate that Mass by the end of the current year. We are not at this moment considering the religious or spiritual experience of millions of individuals. The rite in question, in its magnificent Latin text, has also inspired a host of priceless achievements in the arts - not only mystical works, but works by poets, philosophers, musicians, architects, painters and sculptors in all countries and epochs. Thus, it belongs to universal culture as well as to churchmen and formal Christians. In the materialistic and technocratic civilisation that is increasingly threatening the life of mind and spirit in its original creative expression - the word - it seems particularly inhuman to deprive man of word-forms in one of their most grandiose manifestations. The signatories of this appeal, which is entirely ecumenical and non-political, have been drawn from every branch of modern culture in Europe and elsewhere. They wish to call to the attention of the Holy See, the appalling responsibility it would incur in the history of the human spirit were it to refuse to allow the Traditional Mass to survive, even though this survival took place side by side with other liturgical forms.

I had a brief conversation with a sales clerk at Home Depot. Her husband is an artist. She is quite concerned about AI undermining the art world by its ability to create art using thousands of images of real art and creating sham art. Eight million listen to the rare countertenor.

Congressman Crenshaw is a former Navy Seal and represents a district in Texas. Born to American parents in Aberdeen, Scotland, Crenshaw grew up in Katy, Texas. His father, Jim, is a petroleum engineer who has worked abroad, and his mother died of cancer when he was ten. He developed proficiency in Spanish during time spent in Ecuador and Colombia, and in 2002 he graduated from Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota, Colombia.

At least $276 billion of government funding intended for “virus relief” was fraudulently taken or wasted.

In 1839, he was sent to study for the priesthood at a Catholic college in Pons. Here he was taught to draw and paint by Louis Sage, who had studied under Ingres. Bouguereau reluctantly left his studies to return to his family, now residing in Bordeaux.”
… “In 1856, William began living with one of his models, Nelly Monchablon, a 19-year-old from Lisle-en-Rigault. Living together unmarried, the pair kept their liaison a secret. Their first child, Henriette, was born in April 1857; Georges was born in January 1859. A third child, Jeanne, was born 25 December 1861. The couple married quietly (as many assumed they were already married) on 24 May 1866.” … “…[A] French academic painter. In his realistic genre paintings, he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life, he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. “As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde. By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes. In the 1980s, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. He finished 822 known paintings, but the whereabouts of many are still unknown.” Wikipedia with citations His figures are idealized to some degree, but they are also models for healthy body image and intimacy. I don’t think the family had time for extreme sports, and I don’t think Eve had a flat stomach. In case you don’t know the story of brothers Cain and Abel, Cain killed Abel. If the painting does not cause grief and sorrow in you and contrition for what you have done, what would? Rest your weary head on Nocturnes. The Field discovery occurred not long ago.
