A great new biography of St. Francis of Assisi by Fr. Augustine Thompson, OP, who posts here now and then. Learn about the saint after whom Pope Francis purposely chose his name.
Help Monks in Wyoming, Fr. Z, and get great coffee too!

At least the altar was still standing!
It’s amazing that the sanctuary survived the devastation of war. Deo Gratias. Tom
This is amazing.
Without question the most arresting image I’ve seen this week. The Mass celebrated with the dignity of the traditional Roman rite amidst ruins that many Europeans of my age can barely imagine.
That the picture might be an allegory of our times just makes things even more sobering.
The world is in ruins and
THE HOLY MASS CONTINUES!
(And Solemn Mass, no less.)
There’s a lesson in this picture.
Oh, wow. This reminds me of the picture of a Priest saying Mass on the sands of Iwo Jima during WWII. The severity of the times should never be allowed to replace God’s place in our lives.
Not quite the image I remember but its still pretty striking:
http://www.talkingproud.us/ImagesPhotoGallery/God/IwoJimaService.jpg
Notice how the destruction of the world around is most beautifully ignored by the participants in most sacred liturgy.
I’ve been looking for a high resolution version of this image for quite some time know. If any one knows where one can be found, please let me know (email: davidtrad@sbcglobal.net).
Laudate Dominum!
People complain about their churches now adays…over here. Look at their testimony, then tell us if you still got a complaint :)
Wow-quite an image! Must be from Germany….
Wow – looks like Fr Blake in Brighton has been overdoing the renovations.
