unless stated otherwise.
Milan Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Milano; Lombard: Domm de Milan) is The Cathedral Church of Milan, Italy. Dedicated to Saint Mary of The Nativity (Santa Maria Nascente), it is The Seat of The Archbishop of Milan, currently Cardinal Angelo Scola. The Gothic Cathedral took nearly six Centuries to complete. It is the second-largest Church in Italy, after Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, and the third-largest in the World.
The first Cathedral, the "new Basilica" (Basilica Nova), Dedicated to Saint Thecla, was completed by 355 A.D. It seems to share, on a slightly smaller scale, the Plan of the contemporaneous Church recently re-discovered beneath Tower Hill in London. An adjoining Basilica was erected in 836 A,D. The old Octagonal Baptistery, the Battistero Paleocristiano, dates to 335 A.D., and still can be visited under The Milan Cathedral. When a fire damaged the Cathedral and Basilica in 1075, they were rebuilt as The Duomo.

Pope Saint Leo II, a Sicilian by birth, participated in the full Priesthood of Christ (Introit, Epistle, Gradual, Alleluia) on becoming Pope. Guided by The Holy Ghost, he gave their full value to the Spiritual Riches of The Church committed to his care by Jesus (Gospel, Communion).
He approved The Acts of The Sixth Council, which condemned those who taught that Christ had only one Will. Well-versed in Sacred Singing, he perfected the melodies of The Psalms and of The Hymns of The Church.
He was truly The Father of The Poor and, by his example and Preaching, led everyone to Virtue. He died in 683 A.D., and was buried in the Basilica of Saint Peter, Rome.
Let us imitate the example of this Saint (Collect), who was one of the successors of Saint Peter on The Pontifical Throne.
Mass: Sacerdótes tui.
Commemoration of The Octave of The Holy Apostles Peter and Paul.
Pope Saint Leo II was a Sicilian by birth (the son of a man named Paul). He may have ended up being among the many Sicilian Clergy in Rome due to the Islamic Caliphate attacks on Sicily in
the Mid-7th-Century. Though elected Pope a few days after the death of Pope Saint Agathon on
10 January 681 A.D., he was not Consecrated until 17 August 682 A.D. Pope Saint Leo II was known as an eloquent Preacher, who was interested in music and noted for his Charity to the Poor. His successor was Pope Benedict II.

In 2009, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, a great student and admirer of Saint Bonaventure, made a Pastoral Visit to Bagnoregio, Italy, the Saint’s hometown. On that historic visit, the Pope gave a speech about Saint Bonaventure in which he invited Priests “to learn from this great Doctor of The Church, to deepen their knowledge of his Teaching on Wisdom rooted in Christ.” Since that time, there has been renewed interest in Bagnoregio as a tourist destination.
In the Summer of 2016, The Scholasticum Institute, a Graduate Institution Dedicated to the Scholastic Theology of Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio and Saint Thomas Aquinas, opened its doors in the very town where Saint Bonaventure was raised and where Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI urged further Study of The Seraphic Doctor of The Church.
Pope Sixtus V explained the importance of Scholastic Theology: “[T]here has been discovered by Our ancestors, most wise men, Scholastic Theology, which two Doctors. glorious above all, the Angelic Saint Thomas, and the Seraphic Saint Bonaventure, most brilliant Professors in this capacity . . . with excellent genius, assiduous Study, great labours, and Vigils, have refined and decorated, and have passed on to those who would come after . . . ” He went on to say that “a salutary understanding and practice of this Science [Scholastic Theology] . . . could certainly always bring the greatest assistance to The Church.” (Triumphantis Hierusalem, § 10).

The Canticle of Mary.
This is Mary's Great Exaltation of Praise to God.
For in her visit to Elizabeth, Mary's Faith is validated; that she will be The Mother of The World's Saviour - Jesus Christ ! And so, with Rejoicing and Thanksgiving for all His Mighty Deeds, His Mercy on the lowly and His Fulfillment of Covenant - Mary's Soul bursts forth with Joy to The Lord.
On this day, as in The Season of Advent, The Church recalls together the memories of The Precursor and of Jesus and Mary. For we then remarked, that the Friday in The Winter Ember Week recalled to us the same Mystery of The Visitation.
This Feast was instituted for the whole World in 1389, by Pope Urban VI, in order to obtain the end of the Great Western Schism. It was later on raised to The Rite of Double of The Second-Class by Blessed Pope Pius IX, for on this Feast was completed at Rome in 1849 the victory of The Church over the Revolution.
Mary visits Elizabeth and Jesus visits and Sanctifies John. Wherefore, Saint John leaps with joy and Elizabeth, filled with The Holy Ghost, exclaims: " Blessed art thou among women and Blessed is The Fruit of thy Womb" (Gospel).
The Virgin, Mother of God, who bears and gives birth to Him Who bears and produces all things (Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, Communion) then pronounces a "Sublime Canticle" (Introit), The Magnificat.
Mass: Salve, sancta parens.
