Meanwhile, back at the Sabine farm…
Here is a detail showing the Risen Lord of one of my vestments in the chapel.

From the same vestment…. can you read what this says?

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Splendid!
RESSUREXIT TERTIA DIE
Exquisite.
Flabellum: Well done! You get a gold start for the day.
Collect, 7th Thursday of Paschaltide
Lord, we beseech you,
let your Spirit powerfully pour out spiritual gifts upon us,
so as to give us a mind for the things that are pleasing to you,
and graciously fit us to your will.
Collect, 1 June, Memorial of Saint Justin, Martyr
O God, who by the folly of the Cross,
wondrous instructed your martyr Saint Justin
in the surpassing wisdom of Jesus Christ,
grant, through his intercession,
that having spurned the fraud of error,
we may attain the stability of truth.
1973 ICEL Collect for June 1:
Father, through the folly of the cross
you taught Saint Justin
the sublime wisdom of Jesus Christ.
May we too reject falsehood
and remain loyal to the faith.
For ICEL, uncommonly faithful to the original’s meaning. But devoid of Don Marco’s poetic flow. And, as usual in a second-sentence ICEL bottom line, the focus is on our own effort rather than on the intercession of Christ or the grace of God.
That should read “wondrously instructed” in the Collect for Saint Justin. Thank you for your patience.
