Remember me, O Lord

Crux Fidelis

Crux Fidelis is part of a larger work by Saint Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus (c530-c609) beginning Pange lingua ('Sing, my tongue'). He wrote it for a procession that brought a part of the true Cross to Queen Radegunda in 570.

Faithful cross, above all other,

One and only noble tree:

None in foliage, none in blossom,

None in fruit thy peer may be.

Sweetest wood and sweetest iron,

Sweetest weight is hung on thee!

Hans Memling

Holy Week in the Domestic Church

And email yesterday afternoon from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee informed me that it has posted website links to Resources for Holy Week including download of "Holy Week in the Domestic Church: An At-Home Guide for Individuals and Families", and information about "Masses & Liturgies" providing times and links for television broadcasts and live streaming of Archdiocesan Holy Week celebrations.

Happy Easter to you dear readers!

Ricci, Sebastiano (1659 - 1734)

King of Martyrs, have mercy on us, alleluia!  This world of darkness has been defeated.  May the Kingdom reign in our hearts here on earth and may we attain its glory after death.  Holy Martyrs of Sri Lanka, orate pro nobis!

Christ arose! Christ surely arose!
