LENTCAzT 43 Spy Wednesday of Holy Week – the ranks of demons are put to flight.
Today is Spy Wednesday of Holy Week.
We hear today about the ancient Roman Station, a thought from Benedict XVI about about the rending of the veil in the Temple, and something from Lactantius.
From Benedict:
At the end of the Passion, as … Continue reading

Thinking ahead to the Triduum? Perhaps it will be this year that Father changes out the bells after the Gloria on Holy Thursday to the crotalus or “ratchet”, the harsh wooden noisemaker.
In some places a wooden gizmo with little hammers or … Continue reading

WDTPRS Spy Wednesday in Holy Week
The term “Spy” Wednesday is probably an allusion to Christ’s betrayal by Judas.
COLLECT
Deus, qui pro nobis Filium tuum
crucis patibulum subire voluisti,
ut inimici a nobis expelleres potestatem,
concede nobis famulis tuis,
ut resurrectionis gratiam consequamur.
This prayer was the Collect for this same day … Continue reading
