The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Bois by Fortunino Matania depicting Gleeson (mounted, center) on the eve of the Battle of Aubers Ridge in May 1915. The painting was commissioned in 1916 by Jessie Louisa Rickard, the original of which was destroyed during the bombing of London in WWII. This image is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States prior to January 1, 1929. Other jurisdictions have other rules. Also note that this image may not be in the public domain in the 9th Circuit if it was first published on or after July 1, 1909 in noncompliance with US formalities, unless the author is known to have died in 1953 or earlier (more than 70 years ago) or the work was created in 1903 or earlier, more than 120 years ago. I am in the 9th Circuit. Father Francis Gleeson (1884-1959) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest who served as a British Army chaplain during Ireland’s involvement in WWI.
“Gleeson then returned once more to Ireland and his position at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. He encountered hostility from Irish republicans because of his association with the British Army; it is said that the Bishop of Cork, Daniel Cohalan, a fervent nationalist, deliberately placed Gleeson in pro-republican parishes.” … “Gleeson successfully wrote and produced two dramas. The first, depicting the first Holy Week, was entitled Bethany to Calvary, was staged at the Theatre Royal, Dublin in February 1931, and received high praise from many authorities on sacred drama…. “His second drama Rose of Battle was set in the French lines during the 1917–18 war, in which one of two soldier-friends is reconciled to his faith and Church after his friend is killed but he, though badly wounded, becomes miraculously cured through the prayers of his friend's sister, a hospital nurse. The drama was widely acclaimed in 1935....” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Gleeson_%28priest%29 Caravaggio, c. 1598–1599 or 1602 Juditha triumphans devicta Holofernis barbarie. Judith is triumphant over the barbarians of Holofernes. The story is about a woman slaying a man, which is juicy. Fire-engine-haired Vivaldi wrote the Oratorio in 1716. Antonio was a Catholic priest, but at his own request, he was dispensed from his priestly faculties. “An angina pectoris from which he had suffered since birth must have sometimes manifested itself so violently that several times he had to leave the altar in the middle of Mass.” https://www.antoniovivaldi.net/2022/06/antonio-vivaldi-biography.html What an exciting adventure his music is.
I am riding a horse, being chased, escaping, slowing to let the horse eat some grass, and chased again. We jump over a creek, and I fall off, onto a sandy bend, and there, hands begin twisting the noose tight, tighter, tighter. Which one of the ladies is going to kill me? “Vivat in pace,” I yell! Vivaldi taught violin to girls. If you saw their faces day in and day out and heard their mistakes, would you not have had the urge to strangle an occasional girl or two there in the classroom? I thought so. They are singing in Latin. Haha. You thought it was a dead language. You will hear the Latin word video. It means I see. The video is communion at a Latin Mass on Monday, July 24, 2023, in Covadonga, one hour from Oviedo (Northern Spain). It is the conclusion of a pilgrimage, attendance 1,200.

History: St. Priscilla was the wife of Aquila and mother of the Roman Senator St. Pudens. It is thought that she allowed St. Peter to use her home on the Via Salaria as his headquarters, and the catacombs that stretch beneath the home were named after her. Emperor Domitian (AD 51-96) executed husband and wife. Headline Obamas’ school rocked by controversy “During President Obama’s first term, the elite school fired one of its middle school teachers for molesting a boy. That teacher, Robert Paterson, was sentenced to five years of probation. “In 2017, Sidwell was in the news again - this time for firing a music teacher who was found to have molested a child while working at a previous school. “In 2011, a cuckolded husband hit the school with a $10 million lawsuit over an affair between his wife and a former psychologist and sex ed teacher who taught Obama’s daughter, Malia. “Sidwell has also received media attention over the cutthroat behavior of the parents - who reportedly spread malicious rumors about other parents’ kids to ruin their college apps. “The parents of one former Sidwell student actually sued the school after she failed to get into her desired Ivy colleges - and even pleaded with the Supreme Court to hear the case.” https://conservativeinstitute.org/conservative-news/sidwell-friends-a-look-at-the-obamas-scandal-plagued-prep-school.htm Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the Finurah website published a profile piece on the $11.75 million 30-acre waterfront estate on Martha’s Vineyard that the Obamas purchased in 2019.

What Is It that makes the Latin Language so pure & beautiful? “With minor exceptions, Latin pronunciation is as straightforward as is possible. There are precisely five key vowels and predictable consonant sounds that once learned can be replicated across the near entirety of the language. “English, for example, is not like this at all; we are rife with different rules and applications of those rules, because of our strange but endearing development as a language, which was a complicated process of mixing over the centuries. … “But it’s a good starting point for consideration that, in the providence of God’s overarching, mysterious sovereignty and His absolute knowing of beauty’s value for the souls He created, He saw fit to allow such a pure language to develop in precisely the right moment for the birth of the Church.” https://cassiaandmyrrh.com/on-the-beautiful-purity-of-the-latin-language/ The omnipresence of letters m and n, the humming letters, and qu, the beautiful kw sound, make the language most melodious.

Lamentation of Christ by Willem Key, Flemish Renaissance painter, Antwerp 1516-1568
His flesh is not gray. One person is walking away, there are no crowds, digging dirt is uninterrupted, the life of the countryside and walled village goes on, and a mother and her Son are barely noticed. All is not peaceful here. Look at her face, again. This all ready is the pulse of young Catholic men in 2024, not that descending party ball in NYC. Taking the pulse tells me we need some based Catholic art, story, and animation in 2024.

Marie Antoinette and Her Children, 1787, by Elisabeth Vigee LeBrun Marie was forced, by royal decree, to give birth to her first child in public at Versailles. Labor lasted 12 hours, and she had a convulsive fit when it was over. Rosie Lesso wrote for The Collector on August 15, 2023:
One chambermaid gave a shocking account of the build up to the great event, noting, “When the obstetrician said aloud, ‘The Queen is going to give birth!’, the persons who poured into the chamber were so numerous that the rush nearly killed the Queen.” She even described how two chimney sweeps ‘climbed up onto the furniture for a better sight.’ …the Queen was reportedly delighted with her baby girl, Marie-Therese, as a record of her first words to her new baby prove: “You shall be mine; you shall have my undivided care, shall share all my happiness, and console me in my troubles.” Deaths: Marie-Therese 72, Louis-Joseph seven, Louis-Charles 10, Sophie 11 months. That explains the black cloth and Louis-Joseph's right hand. The original was solid silver. Napoleon melted Iggy and absconded with precious metal. On the evening of 4/29/1821, when the pope’s representative, Abbé Vignali, entered a sick man’s room, Napoleon received absolution but not Viaticum, as he could not keep his food down. We will never know if theft saw the light of confession. If N forgot about it (he was dying) and V did not bring it up, then confession was a good one. pulleys and weights
image courtesy of peakpx.com A fine poem manifesting Longfellow's faith and poetic power importuned me to republish on account of the days, which are shortening. I stood on the bridge at midnight, As the clocks were striking the hour, And the moon rose o'er the city, Behind the dark church-tower. I saw her bright reflection In the waters under me, Like a golden goblet falling And sinking into the sea. And far in the hazy distance Of that lovely night in June, The blaze of the flaming furnace Gleamed redder than the moon. Among the long, black rafters The wavering shadows lay, And the current that came from the ocean Seemed to lift and bear them away; As, sweeping and eddying through them, Rose the belated tide, And, streaming into the moonlight, The seaweed floated wide. And like those waters rushing Among the wooden piers, A flood of thoughts came o’er me That filled my eyes with tears. How often, O, how often, In the days that had gone by, I had stood on that bridge at midnight And gazed on that wave and sky! How often, O, how often, I had wished that the ebbing tide Would bear me away on its bosom O’er the ocean wild and wide! For my heart was hot and restless, And my life was full of care, And the burden laid upon me Seemed greater than I could bear. But now it has fallen from me, It is buried in the sea; And only the sorrow of others Throws its shadow over me. Yet whenever I cross the river On its bridge with wooden piers, Like the odor of brine from the ocean Comes the thought of other years. And I think how many thousands Of care-encumbered men, Each bearing his burden of sorrow, Have crossed the bridge since then. I see the long procession Still passing to and fro, The young heart hot and restless, And the old subdued and slow! And forever and forever, As long as the river flows, As long as the heart has passions, As long as life has woes; The moon and its broken reflection And its shadows shall appear, As the symbol of love in heaven, And its wavering image here. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1845 |
