Rome enjoyed a new sunrise at 06:07 and looks forward to another beautiful building hue changing sunset this evening at 20:09.
Entering a new cycle, the Ave Maria is supposed to ring… but won’t… mostly… at 2o:30.
In the Novus calendar it is the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, Patroness of Italy. In the Vetus calendar, she is celebrated tomorrow in the Vetus Ordo. Today, however, in the Vetus is the Feast of St Peter Martyr, who was killed with a sword to the head by a Cathar assassin. Those zany Cathars! He is said to have, in life, conversed with Sts. Catherine of Alexandria, Agnes and Cecilia. I think the Novus Ordo dropped him completely, because, really, who cares about the first Dominican martyr, right? In the sacristy today, I conversed with a deacon from Milan who described that the skull of St Peter clearly reveals his death wound. Fastest canonization in history. Greg DiPippo posted interesting photos over at NLM.
