The Feast of Saint Pius I, on 11 July, recalled to our mind Saint Pudentiana and her sister, Saint Praxedes, who placed their house at the disposal of this Holy Pontiff. Saint Pudentiana's Feast Day appears in the Cycle on 19 May, under the Reign of The Risen Lord, and Saint Praxedes's Feast Day is today, under the Reign of The Holy Ghost.

On the Tuesday of The Third Week in Lent, The Station is held at Rome in the Titular Church of Saint Pudentiana and on the Monday in Holy Week at the Titular Church of Saint Praxedes.

Saint Praxedes, a daughter of the Roman Senator, Pudens, Consecrated her Virginity to God (Epistle), and renounced her great wealth in favour of the Poor and of The Church. She thereby acquired the Treasure and precious Pearl of The Heavenly Kingdom (Gospel, Communion).

The Religious Ceremonies, which took place in her mansion, attracted the attention of the pagans. Many Christians were arrested there and led away to death.

A U.S. Federal Appeals Court has ordered the U.S. Navy to reduce the use of its Towed Array Sensor System, as it harms marine mammals.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in California, found that a 2012 District Court decision, which allowed the U.S. Navy to use Low-Frequency Sonar for training, testing, and operations, was not in accordance with The Marine Mammal Protection Act.

unless otherwise stated.

Gothic Revival (also referred to as Victorian Gothic, Neo-Gothic, or, Jigsaw Gothic, and, when used for School, College, and University buildings, as Collegiate Gothic) is an Architectural Movement that began in the Late-1740s in England.


Its popularity grew rapidly in the Early-19th Century, when increasingly serious and learned admirers of Neo-Gothic Styles sought to revive Mediaeval Gothic Architecture, in contrast to the Neo-Classical Styles prevalent at the time.

Gothic Revival draws features from the original Gothic Style, including Decorative Patterns, Finials, Scalloping, Lancet Windows, Hood Mouldings, and Label Stops.

The Gothic Revival Movement emerged in 19th-Century England. Its roots were inter-twined with deeply Philosophical Movements associated with a re-awakening of High Church or Anglo-Catholic Belief concerned by the growth of Religious Non-Conformism.

Ultimately, the "Anglo-Catholicism" Tradition of Religious Belief and Style became widespread for its intrinsic appeal in the Third-Quarter of the 19th-Century. Gothic Revival Architecture varied considerably in its faithfulness to both the ornamental style and principles of construction of its Mediaeval original, sometimes amounting to little more than Pointed Window Frames and a few touches of Gothic Decoration on a building otherwise on a wholly-19th-Century Plan and using contemporary materials and construction methods.

In parallel to the ascendancy of Neo-Gothic Styles in 19th-Century England, interest spread rapidly to the Continent of Europe, in Australia, South Africa and to The Americas; indeed, the number of Gothic Revival and Carpenter Gothic structures built in the 19th- and 20th-Centuries may exceed the number of authentic Gothic structures that had been built previously.

The Gothic Revival was paralleled, and supported, by "Mediaevalism", which had its roots in antiquarian concerns with survivals and curiosities. As "industrialisation" progressed, a reaction against machine production and the appearance of factories also grew. Proponents of the picturesque,  such as Thomas Carlyle and Augustus Pugin, took a critical view of industrial society and portrayed pre-industrial Mediaeval society as a Golden Age. To Pugin, Gothic Architecture was infused with the Christian values that had been supplanted by Classicism and were being destroyed by industrialisation.

Gothic Revival also took on political connotations; with the "rational" and "radical" Neo-Classical Style being seen as associated with Republicanism and Liberalism (as evidenced by its use in The United States and, to a lesser extent, in Republican France), the more Spiritual and Traditional Gothic Revival became associated with Monarchism and Conservatism, which was reflected by the choice of styles for the rebuilt Government Centres of The Parliament of The United Kingdom in London and Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Joseph – also known as Saint Joseph's Cathedral or Swansea Cathedral – is a Grade II-Listed Roman Catholic Cathedral in Swansea, Wales. It is the Seat of The Bishop of Menevia and Mother Church of The Diocese of Menevia. The Cathedral was built in the Late-19th-Century and is located in the Greenhill area of Swansea.

Originally built as a Church, Saint Joseph's was conceived by Father Wulstan Richards, OSB, who came to Greenhill in 1875. It was designed by Peter Paul Pugin and took two years to build at a cost of £10,000. The building was officially opened on 25 November 1888 while still under construction. Built as a Church, it was converted to a Cathedral in 1987 for the redefined Diocese of Menevia. It was designated a a Grade II Listed Building on 30 March 1987.

Stegmann was the son of a Magistrate in the Duchy of Brunswick, Germany. He spent three years studying architecture in Braunschweig. Then, he switched to painting and attended the Academies in Brussels (1854 at CA Wauters), Munich (1855-1857), as well as Dusseldorf, where he settled in 1857 and joined the Malkasten Artists' Association. He also joined the Kunstverein München.

Aachen Cathedral, also referred to as The Kaiserdom (Imperial Cathedral) of Aachen,
is a building of great historical, architectural and religious importance. Built by Charlemagne in 805 A.D., its unique design was highly influential on German Church architecture and it was a site of Imperial Coronations and pilgrimage for many Centuries.

Aachen Cathedral (German: Aachener Dom), Traditionally known in English as The Cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle, is a Roman Catholic Church in Aachen, Germany. It is the oldest Cathedral in Northern Europe and was constructed by order of The Emperor Charlemagne, who was buried there in 814 A.D. For 595 years, from 936 A.D. to 1531, the Aachen Chapel was the Church of Coronation for thirty German Kings and twelve Queens. The Church has been The Episcopal Seat of The Diocese of Aachen since 1802.

Charlemagne began the construction of The Palatine Chapel around 796 A.D., along with the building of the rest of the Palace structures. The construction is credited to Odo of Metz. The exact date of completion is unclear. However, a Letter from Alcuin, in 798 A.D., states that it was nearing completion, and, in 805 A.D., Pope Leo III Consecrated the finished Chapel. A Foundry was brought to Aachen near the end of the 8th-Century A.D. and was utilised to cast multiple bronze pieces, from doors and the railings to the horse and bear statues.

Charlemagne was buried in the Chapel in 814 A.D. It suffered a large amount of damage in a Viking raid in 881 A.D., and was restored in 983 A.D. After Frederick Barbarossa Canonised Charlemagne, in 1165, the Chapel became a draw for pilgrims. In order to sustain the enormous flow of pilgrims in the Gothic period, a Choir Hall was built, in 1355, and a two-part Capella Vitrea (Glass Chapel) which was Consecrated on the 600th Anniversary of Charlemagne's death. A Cupola, several other Chapels and a Steeple were also constructed at later dates. It was restored again in 1881, when the Baroque stucco was removed. In 1978, it was one of the first twelve items to make the entry into the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites, as the first German, and one of the first three European, historical ensembles.

The Cathedral uses two distinct architectural Styles, with small portions of a third Style, First, the core of the Cathedral is the Carolingian-Romanesque Palatine Chapel, which was modelled after San Vitale at Ravenna, Italy, and is notably small in comparison to the later additions. Secondly, the Choir was constructed in the Gothic Style. Finally, there are portions that show Ottonian Style, such as the area around The Throne.

Between 1355 and 1414, on the initiative of the Marienstift and the Mayor of Aachen, Gerhard Chorus (1285–1367), a Gothic Choir was built to the East of The Octagon. Before this, there must have been a rectangular Carolingian Choir.

The Gothic Choir measures twenty-five metres in length, thirteen metres wide and thirty-two metres high. Its external wall is broken, as much as possible, by windows - the surface area of the glass is more than 1,000 m² and led to the name Glashaus (Glass House). This was conceived as a Glass Reliquary for The Holy Relics of Aachen and for the body of Charlemagne.

The design is arranged on the model of The Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, France; likewise a space for important Relics and a Royal Palace Chapel. For the protection of the Vault of The Choir, iron rods were built in at the time of construction, to counter the lateral force on the narrow Stone Supports and to allow as much space as possible between them for window space.

Prayer To Our Lady Of Mount Carmel.


Text and Illustration from CATHOLICISM PURE AND SIMPLE





Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Thou, who, with special mercy,
look upon those clothed in thy beloved Habit,
cast a glance of pity upon me.
Fortify my weakness with thy strength;
enlighten the darkness of my mind with thy wisdom;
increase my Faith, Hope and Charity.
Assist me during life,
console me by thy presence at my death,
and present me to the August Trinity as thy devoted child,
that I may Bless thee for all Eternity in Paradise.
Amen.

Commemoration Of The Blessed Virgin Mary Of Mount Carmel.
Feast Day 16 July.

Greater-Double.

White Vestments.






According to a pious tradition authorised by the Liturgy, on the day of Pentecost a number of men who walked in the footsteps of the Holy Prophets, Elias and Eliseus, and whom John the Baptist had prepared for the advent of Jesus, embraced the Christian Faith, and erected the first Church to The Blessed Virgin on Mount Carmel, at the very spot where Elias had seen a cloud rise, a figure of the fecundity of the Mother of God (Lesson of Second Nocturn at Matins).

They were called: Brethren of Blessed Mary of Mount Carmel (Collect). These Religious came to Europe in the 13th-Century and, in 1245, Pope Innocent IV gave his approbation to their Rule under the Generalship of Simon Stock, an English Saint.





On 16 July 1251, Mary appeared to this fervent servant [Simon Stock] and placed in his hands the Habit which was to be their distinctive sign. Pope Innocent IV blessed this Habit and attached to it many privileges, not only for The Members of The Order, but also for those who entered The Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

By wearing the Scapular, which is in smaller form than that of The Carmelite Fathers, they participate in all their merits and may hope to obtain through The Virgin a prompt delivery from Purgatory, if they have Faithfully observed Abstinence, Chastity (according to their state), and said the Prayers prescribed by Pope John XXII, in The Sabbatine Bull, published on 3 March 1322.

The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, at first Celebrated only in the Churches of The Order, was extended to all Christendom by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726.

POLAND AIMS
FOR TOTAL
ABORTION BAN.


This Article can be read in full at LIFE INSTITUTE.

The mainstream media is forever telling the public that ABORTION is an essential aspect of women’s “healthcare”. They insist that ABORTION be legalised and readily provided by the government. In their eyes, there is no way to stop or slow the steady stream of ABORTIONS and nor do they even wish to.

They would rather that the experience of Poland was not shared, since it demonstrates how faulty their logic is. Poland had been a persistent thorn in the side of the pro-ABORTION lobby as it has made clear that, not only does a modern Nation not need ABORTION, but also that it is possible for a Country to pull itself back from the grip of ABORTION-on-demand and provide better answers for women and their babies.

Poland is currently known for being a Pro-Life Country with effective and life-saving Pro-Life laws. However, this has not always been the case. Poland was first forced to submit to a policy of legal ABORTION-on-demand when the Country was under the control of Adolf Hitler in 1943. Martin Bormann, Hitler’s private secretary said, “The Slavs are to work for us. In so far as we do not need them, they may die. Slav fertility is not desirable.”

Following the Second World War, legalised ABORTION was once again imposed on the Polish under the Communist rule of Josef Stalin in 1956. By 1960, there were more than 150,000 ABORTIONS a year being performed in Poland.

Joseph, two, and two-month-old Theodore James, in May 2016.

Illustration: DAILY MAIL


Poland saw 123,500 ABORTIONS in 1987, 59,500 in 1990,11,500 in 1992, 1,200 in 1993, 559 in 1995 and 491 in 1996. Sceptics and ABORTION activists predicted that this would lead to increased maternal death, increased infanticide, and other social ills. However, these predictions have not come true. Poland is a prime example, like Ireland, that it is possible to be both a modern Country and still protect innocent human life.

Now, Poland looks set to completely ban ABORTION, as Pro-Life activists have gathered more than 375,000 signatures for a Petition which should end up in a Parliamentary Vote.

Poland is a powerful reminder of why it is essential to continue to fight to preserve the Pro-Life heart of one’s Country.

In Royal Oak, Michigan, the Organisation Invictus Christus is holding a Eucharistic Procession, which will go for 2½ miles from The National Shrine of The Little Flower, 1621 Linwood Avenue, starting at 10:30 hrs, to Saint Mary’s Catholic Church. SEE THEIR WEB-SITE and the Poster, above, for more information.

The following Text is from INVICTUS CHRISTUS

The INVICTUS “Christ in the Streets” Eucharistic Procession is a 1,000-man Procession that carries Christ right through the heart of downtown Royal Oak, Michigan.

The focus of the Procession is twofold: Reparation and Mercy.

Reparation for all those times that we, as men, have not been the men Christ called us to be. Times when we have not shouldered our responsibilities and duties as Spiritual Leaders within our homes. For times, when we have not carried Christ into the World.

Mercy, because we are the ones whom Christ has called; We are the ones that Christ has invited to carry His Cross and share in His Redemption of the World. Mercy because we have received Mercy from Him. Mercy because we were built to pour out His Love – it is our mission to own.

And, if the World is falling into darkness, and, if its vineyard has begun to die of thirst, it is because we have not loved as we have been loved.




The act of Processing with Christ is the first step toward our outward redemption.

It is to do what we have not done;

to love as we have not loved;

because we will have done it with Him.
