April 3, 33 Jesus is crowned with thorns.
December 2, 1804 By crowning himself, Napoleon symbolically showed that he would not be controlled by Rome or submit to any power other than himself.
January 21, 2023 Would the Vatican II churchmen crown Louis XVI? I’m tempted to ‘rapsalize’ in recusant Shakespeare’s place...“No. They speak without rhyme or reason.”

André Campra (1660-1744) composed the Requiem Mass. The vestments are embroidered with pure silver thread. After taking it all in, you will realize how special a priest is.
In his last testament, Louis XVI lamented the fact he was prevented from making his confession to a priest and hoped he could, but his execution occurred on 1/21/1793. The testament is read in French at the end of Mass, and the English translation is in my 1/22/2023 entry.
We pray for the dead because they might be in Purgatory, and our prayers will help them get to Heaven. On YouTube you can read the live chat in French, English, and Arabic, and for a guide and translation of the Latin Mass in English, go to the entry, "Don't Go."
