My Two Favourite Passages for Today’s Feast.


From the Stations of the Cross:

We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee, because by Thy Holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.


From the Eastern Liturgy for today:


O Lord, save Thy people, / and bless Thine inheritance. / Grant victories to Right-Believing Kings and Princes / over their adversaries. / And by virtue of Thy Cross, / preserve Thy habitation.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
