I recently rediscovered a slim volume entitled The Osterley Selection from the Latin Fathers, published in 1950. The preface praises the great classical authors—Caesar, Cicero, Livy, Virgil—yet insists that Christian also worthy. The collection includes brief selections from Fathers of the Church. It occurred to me that I might offer a podcast of the readings with an English translation, comments and the Latin original.
Today we hear from a 4th century nun name Egeria, or sometime Etheria and her pilgrimage, Itinerario or Peregrinatio, an extended journey through Egypt, Sinai, Palestine, Syria, and Mesopotamia.
In this excerpt she describes Holy Thursday night liturgy in Jerusalem.

These podcast have been wonderful. Thank you Fr. Z . I am praying for your mother and you of course.
Thank you. We have a rather odd little pilgrimage area in the Chicago suburbs — perhaps there are many more I don’t know — but the one I am thinking of is a replica of the Portiuncula chapel, circa 1926, on a wealthy family’s estate in Oak Brook. I think it’s more a wedding venue than a place of liturgy.
