Adoremus Conference Slated for March 14, 2020
From the Editors at
Adoremus Bulletin,
"Why is it essential to foster in oneself and one’s family and parishioners a vibrant spiritual life—especially in the liturgy—and especially for the high point of the Church’s liturgical season, the Easter Triduum?Spring Break!
"Next year’s upcoming Adoremus Conference, held during Lent 2020 at the historic Sacred Heart Chapel in Covina, CA, will seek to answer this and other questions related to the spirituality of the Triduum liturgies."
It's Friday And You Are Eating A CHEESEBURGER
Happy Easter!
Also, I'm working through a roundup post on the appointment of Bishop Hying(yea!), but having baby twins at home has made me realize the only thing more difficult than typing one handed is to type no handed. Some day folks we are staffing up with real writers. You may have seen a certain blogger quoted in the Wis State Journal.
My full quote (was hoping he used my lovable jab at our dearly deceased):

My full quote (was hoping he used my lovable jab at our dearly deceased):
I think what the Madison area gets a bishop who - to use a Pope Francis-ism - is a shepherd who has "the smell of the sheep." This is a guy who will be out among his flock of Christians working with them in service of Jesus Christ and his fellow man. He spent years working with the poor in the Dominican Republic and is fluent in Spanish Although clearly not sharing Bishop Morlino's body shape, the two men do have some similarities, but I think Bishop Hying has his own style and points of emphasis. I have to think that most churchgoers will be delighted with their new bishop.
Happy Easter to you dear readers!

He is not here - A N Mironov
Andrei Mironov is brilliant. The eyes and the smirk on the angel to the right? Wow, just wow. Take a closer look, zoom in. The smirk in his Annunciation might be even better.
In case you wanted to take a look at a few more via Kevin:
I was very impressed w/ the painting you posted for the Betrayal of Christ. Had not seen that artist's work. Much more here:

Pope prostrates himself before altar on Good Friday
In 2013, with video (after commercial[!]), at
The Daily Telegraph.
And last year, with photos, at the Daily Mail
And again yesterday, video (after commercial, at 1:25) at the BBC.
If some of your parish clergy didn't do likewise, perhaps they, like Pope Francis, need some physical assistance. It might be an opportunity to offer to be of service for next year.
12 voice Regina Caeli
Hmm, twelve. makes me think of the twelve apostles singing, you know, after they came out of hiding and finally actually believed he had risen.
The history that was merely human
"THEY took the body down from the cross and one of the few rich men among the first Christians obtained permission to bury it in a rock tomb in his garden; the Romans setting a military guard lest there should be some riot and attempt to recover the body. There was once more a natural symbolism in these natural proceedings; it was well that the tomb should be sealed with all the secrecy of ancient eastern sepulture and guarded by the authority of the Caesars. For in that second cavern the whole of that great and glorious humanity which we call antiquity was gathered up and covered over; and in that place it was buried. It was the end of a very great thing called human history; the history that was merely human. The mythologies and the philosophies were buried there, the gods and the heroes and the sages. In the great Roman phrase, they had lived. But as they could only live, so they could only die; and they were dead.GK Chesterton
On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realised the new wonder; but even they hardly realised that the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but the dawn."
~G.K. Chesterton: 'The Everlasting Man.'
