Latin root of the verb infinitive to humiliate: humiliare, to make low or humble Latin root of the verb infinitive to humble: humiliare, to make low or humble Conventional wisdom and the dictionary agree that “humiliate” and “humble” are different, but that is not so for a Catholic. I used to think that the Resurrection was the greatest event in history. Now I think the Incarnation was. He who made me, joined me, and had all the emotions I have, not some, all. At the Crucifixion, out of the thousands of people who acclaimed Him, three people stood and watched Him die. What mother would not do that for her son? So, really, there were only two, John and Mary Magdalen. If you tell me that Christ did not feel humiliated and humbled, in short, inadequate, I’d say you were wrong. His Incarnation humiliates and humbles me. Why any person is not overwhelmed by desire for the humiliated and humbled One, I cannot answer. Why’s only get a person closer to death. Aphrodite of Menophantos
Venus pudica is the best-known copy type of the Venus of Cnidus and bears the signature of the sculptor Menophantos: “work by Menophantos, after the Aphrodite in the Troad”. The marble sculpture is Greek art from the 1st century BC, found at a Catholic monastery and now at the National Roman Museum. Look at her, goddess of the humiliated and humbled. Time spent at Mass or with Alexander (10) or Josh (32) stirs the cauldron of emotions. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. Be careful about blaming the devil for anything: faults are internal. Yes, I pray the St. Michael prayer at every Mass, but I give it no further thought, and you will find few words on the devil in the blog, nor will you find much on prophecy or predictions. If you need an exorcism, go to a Catholic priest. That’s all I have to say. The lines are known by almost everyone, but few recognize Shakespeare’s recusancy in Julius Caesar. Good writers disguise their thoughts. Marcus Junius Brutus, born c. 85 BC, died 42 BC, COD suicide, murdered Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. (Oremus Let us pray, related word oration)
Mark Antony's Oration over the Body of Caesar George Edward Robertson (1864–1926) Hartlepool Museums and Heritage Service Date: c. 1894–1895 Medium: oil on canvas Measurements: H 134 x W 193 cm Accession number: HAPMG: 1920.55 Acquisition method: gift, 1920 Mark holds Caesar’s will, and the only man who looks at the body and is truly horrified is the hooded monk standing behind Mark and hiding from the crowd. The monk holds himself up with a hand on Mark’s right arm and stands at his right hand. Who is at God’s right hand? “St. Philip Neri, the most laughable and laughed at saint in Saintdom...
“Neri often visited the Catacombs to pray and meditate, and it was there in the month of May or June 1544 that he was mysteriously thrown to the floor and a ball of fire ‘entered his mouth and lodged in his chest.’ “Soon recovering from the shock, he put his hand to his left side and found a swelling as large as his fist. St. Philip Neri was a mystic even before this, but at this time in his life his mystical experiences reached a climax and left the visible mark he carried to his grave. “... a heart so inflamed with the love of God that it forced two ribs into an arch over his heart to give the appearance of a tumor. “Doctors learned this only at an autopsy on the day of his death. ‘...[T]here has never been more than one case of a heart so inflamed with the love of God as to break the ribs of the encasing body.’” By Philip C. Fenton, S.J., excerpted from an article published in the May 1958 issue of Extension magazine Caravaggio (1571–1610)

The summary comes from Wikipedia, a resource I use because the entry on the Catholic Church is accurate and because entries go through a reviewing and editing process. If anyone has a better resource that is not too complicated, please provide a link. “The earliest surviving account of the celebration of the Eucharist or Mass in Rome is that of Saint Justin Martyr (died c. 165), in chapter 67 of his First Apology: … “The descriptions of the Mass liturgy in Rome by Hippolytus (died c. 235) and Novatian (died c. 250) are similar to Justin’s. … “It is unclear when the language of the celebration changed from Greek to Latin. Pope Victor I [pontiff 189-199, saint] may have been the first to use Latin in the liturgy in Rome. Others think Latin was finally adopted nearly a century later. The change was probably gradual, with both languages being used for a while. … “The Roman Missal that Pope Pius V issued at the request of the Council of Trent (1545-1563) gradually established uniformity within the Western Church after a period that had witnessed regional variations in the choice of Epistles, Gospels, and prayers at the Offertory, the Communion, and the beginning and end of Mass. “With the exception of a few dioceses and religious orders, the use of this Missal was made obligatory, giving rise to the 400-year period when the Roman-Rite Mass took the form now known as the Tridentine Mass.” We use the 1962 edition of the Missal. Its 1,850 pages are so good, so comprehensive, so eloquent that they are all I need for daily living. For example, the Morning Prayer contains references to Proverbs, Psalms, Lamentations, and Isaiah. The Mass itself is printed in Latin and the vernacular on each page. The 1962 was the last printing before certain men claimed that the spirit of Vatican II entitled them to start removing, rewording, reinventing, and retranslating every part of the Mass. See https://www.robertedunn.com/mass-of-the-ages.html. If possible, leave the New Order church, which is on a downward slope. Recommendations: FSSP, SSPX, ICKSP. There are a few other traditional religious orders. Do a search. Beginning in 2020, my church of St. Stephen the First Martyr in Sacramento doubled. We have 1,500 registered members and 104 altar boys, and this tremendous growth is the trend in America. I meet two to five new people every Sunday at 6. One of my ranching friends drives 130 miles one-way to get to Mass. Third Commandment. Memento mori (long version) Look behind. Remember thou art mortal. Remember you must die. Mass at 6pm yesterday, Ash Wednesday, entirely sung by priest and choir, was the third Mass of the day and so crowded that the parish hall next door had to be used. Confession started at 5:30 and extended to the end. We have 100% attendance at Sunday Mass. https://altusfineart.com/collections/adam-abram
The Agony in the Garden Here, at the foot of the Mount of Olives, which is in East Jerusalem, is Gethsemane, the place where Our Lord endured His Agony in the Garden. He was arrested, tried, and crucified. A.D. 33. The great Armand Jean du Plessis, 1st Duke of Richelieu, known as Cardinal Richelieu (l’Éminence rouge, or “the Red Eminence”), was a French statesman and prelate of the Catholic Church. I knew he was admirable when writing a long essay about him in college. This piece by historian Will Durrant is not boring textbook history. Durrant graduated from Saint Peter's College (BA, 1907) and Columbia University (PhD, 1917). Antipope Francis has no Richelieu skills.

Curtis, FSSP, said, “The day is coming you all dread.” Title: The Fight Between Carnival and Lent Artist: Pieter Bruegel the Elder Date: 1559 monkeys Thomas Weinandy, OFM Cap “In 2017, Weinandy wrote a letter charging that Francis is fostering ‘chronic confusion’, ‘demeaning’ the importance of doctrine, appointing bishops who ‘scandalize’ believers with dubious ‘teaching and pastoral practice’, giving prelates who object the impression they will be ‘marginalized or worse’ if they speak out, causing many faithful Catholics to ‘lose confidence in their supreme shepherd’. Weinandy resigned from his position as consultant to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine.” straightforward and factual - Wikipedia The Cadaver Synod, by unfriendly Jean-Paul Laurens, 1870, Nantes Museum of Art, provides a way to editorialize in the face of what we face in the Church now.

St. Stephen the First Martyr, Sacramento, CA church shape upside down Ark, keel not shown Cubism is described as the application of multiple perspectives, the use of geometric shapes, a monochromatic color palette, and a flattened picture plane. Jesus The Jewish Iraqi-British businessman, b. 1943 in Baghdad, was educated at Christ’s College, a secondary school in Finchley, north London. Married a bunch of times, he made a funny comment about himself, which I like for its ironic humility.
“According to the Times Online, Saatchi is ‘reclusive’, even hiding from clients when they visited his agency’s offices and, as of February 2009, has only ever granted two newspaper interviews. He does not attend his own exhibition openings; when asked why by the Sunday Telegraph, he replied: ‘I don’t go to other people’s openings, so I extend the same courtesy to my own.’” British newspapers have a long history. This painting is the second example of cubism in my blog, the first by ELYSE DODGE. “This masterpiece … depicts Titan Prometheus in agony as he is devoured by a vicious eagle. According to the Greek myth, Prometheus stole fire on Mount Olympus from the gods to give to humanity, so Rubens chose to show the moment in which the king of the Olympians, Zeus, ordered he be chained to a rock and have his liver eaten by an eagle every day. Rubens created this work together with the artist Frans Snyders.
“According to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where this masterpiece is held, the asymmetrical composition was inspired by Titian’s picture of the giant Tityus (1548-49) and the figure of Prometheus was derived from Michelangelo’s prototypes.” explanation given by artdevivre.com Rubens 1577-1640 countertenor highest male register Psalm 126 Douay-Rheims https://www.drbo.org/chapter/21126.htm#:~:text=1%20Unless%20the%20Lord%20build,eat%20the%20bread%20of%20sorrow. “Even after his voice changed at age 13, Scholl continued to sing as a countertenor…In an interview with iclassics.com, Scholl said, ‘Singing is just very natural; I’ve always done it, every day, and I’ve always enjoyed it.’” -Encyclopedia.com Some tenors can reach this register with practice, but it remains fairly hard to do. I’ve heard Andreas sing at a lower register, he says baritone, but it sounds tenor. A major poet in the era of German Romanticism, he visited and wrote about St. Anne Catherine Emmerich. His story is as interesting as hers. First, let me say something about Wikipedia. People who read my blog will figure out quickly that I am a traditional Catholic and thus dismiss whatever I have to say. Any responsible blogger has many resources, and like my student, Alexander, I can’t write down thoughts fast enough. Mistakes follow. One way I counter bias is to use non-Catholic sources, such as Wikipedia. Here is what the online encyclopedia says about itself: “The English Wikipedia currently has 46,892,746 users who have registered a username. Only a minority of users contribute regularly (126,693 have edited in the last 30 days), and only a minority of those contributors participate in community discussions. “An unknown but relatively large number of unregistered Wikipedians also contribute to the site. As of 2012, most logged-in editors had edited as unregistered Wikipedians before registering their accounts.” Wikipedia also uses government sources. From The Creative Independent: “Wikipedia borrows its content and credibility from external editorial bodies, and thus, in order to have information available for a whole page….” Back to Clemens. You can read Anne’s or Clemens’s biography, or both, but I’m going to pull out some quotes I liked. Anne Biography “The poet Clemens Brentano interviewed her at length and wrote two books based on his notes of her visions. The authenticity of Brentano’s writings has been questioned and critics have characterized the books as ‘conscious elaborations by a poet.’ “Pope John Paul II beatified Emmerich on 3 October 2004. However, the Vatican focused on her own personal piety rather than the religious writings associated to her by Clemens Brentano.” Clemens Biography “In 1818, weary of his somewhat restless and unsettled life, he returned to the practice of the Catholic faith and withdrew to the monastery of Dülmen, where he lived for some years in strict seclusion. He took on there the position of secretary to the Catholic visionary nun…Emmerich.” “Richard Strauss set six poems by Brentano in Sechs Lieder, Op. 68, in 1918, which are also known as his Brentano Lieder. “Brentano’s work is referenced in Thomas Mann’s novel Doctor Faustus. A cycle of thirteen songs, based on Brentano’s poems, is noted in Chapter XXI as one of the composer protagonist’s most significant early works.” Comment: So, what if he exaggerated? Everyone knows poetry is not literal. Take the Bible. C’mon. I seldom answer why questions, but I’m going to try this one. Some people never experienced Mama reading poetry to them. Anyone who cooks for me or reads to me moves up the scale. Notes about Wikipedia as a source Unus: The data shows how thorough the Catholic Church is about certifying sources. Duo: I frequently go for the enormous collection, and all the copyright data is at hand. Tres: I eliminate citation numbers because they are cumbersome. title: Clemens Brentano//painter: Emilie Linder//date: c. 1837

Jesus Wept (Jésus pleura) James Tissot EUROPEAN ART Following the death of His friend Lazarus, Jesus goes to Bethany to comfort Martha and Mary Magdalene for a loss that He also felt keenly. Both women lament that Jesus was absent when Lazarus took ill, knowing that He would have prevented the death with His healing powers. Affected by the loss, Jesus weeps. Led to the darkened tomb of Lazarus, Jesus commands the removal of the stone covering the opening and, after a prayer to God, resurrects the dead man before witnesses who gasp in astonishment.

A 30-foot-tall statue of Junípero Serra, sculpted by David Tilden, was installed in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and sat on the plinth from 1907 to June 2020. The statue was toppled on June 19, 2020, during the George Floyd protests, as a “Juneteenth” commemoration. Also torn down were the bronze statues of Ulysses S. Grant and Francis Scott Key. All three reside in a secure and undisclosed location to this day. Leftists have a difficult time appreciating art unless it is Soviet socialist realism, and they are not fond of really anything besides graffiti or a street mural glorifying Che Guevara, long-dead Minister of Industries, Cuba. I worked there in GG Park as an assistant gardener one summer while in college and thought naively that the statue was permanent. left - empty plinth, photo via Google and taken by Piotr Biedacha nine months ago; right - Serra Serra given by California to the National Statuary Hall Collection (D.C.) in 1931 He was canonized on Sept. 23, 2015.
