Blessed Lord, in whose sight the death of thy saints is precious; we magnify the Name for that abundant grace bestowed on our late Martyred Sovereign; by which he was enabled so cheerfully to follow the steps of his blessed Master and Saviour, in a constant meek bearing of all barbarous indignities, and at last resisting unto blood; and even then, according to the same pattern, praying    for his murderers. Let his memory, O Lord, be ever blessed among us, that we may follow the example of his patience, and charity;  And grant, that this our Land may be freed from the vengeance of his blood, and Thy mercy glorified in the forgiveness of our sins; and all for Jesus Christ His sake. Amen.

Chalice, c. 1450-1480, Cleveland Museum of Art: Medieval Art

The chalice and paten-the most important liturgical vessels-are used at the altar by the priest for the consecration of the Eucharistic bread and wine during the celebration of the mass. This chalice survives with its original paten. The form of the chalice evolved over the centuries. Gothic chalices, like this one, gradually developed angular or faceted knops, generally hexagonal, with lobed feet. This sublime example is decorated with filigree enamel consisting of twisted gold wire forming a floral design, which in turn is filled with colorful glass pastes. Gemstones add to the embellishment. Size: Overall: 24.6 cm (9 11/16 in.) Medium: gilt silver and filigree enamel

Christmas at Saint Ignatius of Antioch.

[coriesu]

“When you are before the altar where Christ reposes, you ought no longer to think that you are amongst men; but believe that there are troops of angels and archangels standing by you, and trembling with respect before the Sovereign Master of heaven and earth. Therefore, when you are in church, be there in silence, fear, and veneration.”

This is a lovely photo, but I am pretty sure the image is flipped, as I think the crosier chaplain and the Assisting Priest should be on the left side.

Lætábimur in salutári tuo: et in nómine Dómini, Dei nostri, magnificábimur. 

May we shout for joy at Thy victory and raise the standards in the Name of the Lord our God.

The Great ‘O’ Antiphons of Advent

The ‘O Antiphons’ are a set of seven—in Roman use; traditionally eight for those following medieval Sarum use—antiphons chanted just prior to the Magnificat during the final week of Advent, leading up to Christmas Eve. Prophetic verses on the coming of the Messiah, the antiphons may ring familiar to those who know the hymn ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel,’ which paraphrases their text. 

The antiphons are presented here, chanted in Latin by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge.

• O Sapientia (O Wisdom) • O Adonai • O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse) • O Clavis David (O Key of David) • O Oriens (O Dayspring) • O Rex Gentium (O King of Nations) • O Emmanuel

And a final antiphon, as observed in the Sarum Rite:

• O Virgo Virginum (O Virgin of Virgins)

Sorry we’ve been away since since last Rose Sunday. Hopefully you’ll see more of us here.
