This Sunday is called Quasimodo Sunday, from the first words of the Introit, or Dominica-in-Albis (post Albas Depositas), from the fact that, on this day, the newly-Baptised had laid aside their White Vestments, or Pascha Clausum, because it finishes The Easter Octave, or, again, Low Sunday, perhaps in contrast to The Great Feast of the week before.
To teach those, who, in Baptism, have just been born to The Life of God, the generosity with which they ought to bear testimony to Christ, The Church leads them to the Basilica of The Martyr, Saint Pancras, who, when only twelve years old, offered to Christ the Testimony of his blood.

Christians must stand firm, resting on their Faith in Christ, The Risen Son of God. Saint John tells us that this is The Faith that overcomes the World, for it enables us to resist all efforts to make us fall (Epistle). Thus, it is important that it should have a firm foundation, which The Church gives us in today's Mass.
Saint John says, in the Epistle, that this Faith is founded upon The Witness of The Father, Who, at Our Lord's Baptism (with water), proclaimed Him His Son; of The Son, Who, on The Cross (by His Blood), showed Himself as The Son of God; and of The Holy Ghost, descending on The Apostles on The Day of Pentecost, according to Our Lord's promise, confirmed what Christ had said about His Resurrection and His Divinity; Dogmas, which The Church, guided by The Holy Ghost, never ceases to proclaim.

Our Faith rests, also, on The Testimony of Angels, who announced Our Lord's Rising from The Dead (Offertory), but it is based, chiefly, on His appearances to His Apostles. Further, the Gospel shows us how Christ, appearing twice in The Cenacle, overcame the unbelief of Saint Thomas, praising those who, not having seen, should yet believe.
Let us believe in Jesus, Risen from The Dead, and, in the presence of The Blessed Sacrament, let us repeat Saint Thomas's cry of Faith and humility: "My Lord and my God."

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.
The Church of San Pancrazio (English: S. Pancras; Latin: S. Pancratii) is a Roman Catholic ancient Basilica and Titular Church, founded by Pope Symmachus in the 6th-Century A.D., in Rome. It stands in Via S. Pancrazio, beyond the Porta San Pancrazio that opens in a stretch of the Aurelian Wall on the Janiculum.
The Cardinal Priest of the Titulus S. Pancratii is Antonio Cañizares Llovera. Among the previous Titulars are Pope Paul IV (15 January - 24 September 1537) and Pope Clement VIII (18 December 1585 - 30 January 1592).
The Basilica of Saint Pancras was built by Pope Symmachus (498 A.D. - 514 A.D.), on the place where the body of the young Martyr, Saint Pancras of Rome, or Pancratius, had been buried. In the 17th-Century, it was given to The Discalced Carmelites, who completely remodelled it. The Church underwent further rebuilding in the 19th-Century, but it retains its plain brick facade of the Late-15th-Century, with The Arms of Pope Innocent VIII.
Below the Church, there are huge Catacombs, the Catacombe di S. Pancrazio, or di Ottavilla. The entrance is next to the small Museo di S. Pancrazio, with fragments of sculpture and pagan and Early-Christian inscriptions.

The Home Of The Extraordinary Form Of The Divine Mass In Paris, France: The Church Of Saint-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile.

The following Text is taken from, and can be read in full at,
Catholics who visit Paris should know about this wonderful Church and visit - it is the home of The Extraordinary Form Mass (The Traditional Latin Mass) in The Archdiocese of Paris.
Liturgy is done very well here with great care and reverence in a stunningly beautiful Neo-Gothic Church. Also, the Choir is one of the best in France. Every year, I visit in conjunction with the Annual Chartres Pilgrimage and I encourage others to do the same.
Sunday Mass and Vespers is a must. Be sure to make time for the Sunday morning 11:00 a.m. Solemn High Mass in The Extraordinary Form - it is nothing short of extraordinary.
Church of Saint-Eugène - Sainte-Cécile,
Paris, France.

The Church is centrally located, with about a dozen hotels within walking distance. The Parish draws Parishioners from across Paris and beyond. It has also produced a handful of notable Vocations to The Priesthood and Religious Life.
The Church is packed on Sundays with young families with many children who are drawn by the Respect and Devotion shown by The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite Mass.
Saint-Eugène was built during a time when The Church in France was undergoing a renewal after the Anti-Religious Revolutionary periods. Those years of persecution gave birth to a renewal of the local Church in the Mid-1800s that saw a boom in Catholic Life and Church construction.
On 8 December 2019, The Feast Day of The Immaculate Conception,
a Procession of The Immaculate Conception took place in the evening
from Saint-Eugène - Sainte-Cécile to the Church of Notre-Dame-des-Victoires.

The years of trial and persecution contributed to growth that saw the creation of new Religious Orders, new Vocations to the Seminary and Convent, the development of Marian Devotion (connected to the Lourdes Apparitions in 1858), and the successful creation of Catholic Social Movements.
The Church then began to build, everywhere. The Gothic Art, born in France during The Middle-Ages, was rediscovered and Neo-Gothic Churches were planned and constructed across The Land. As Architects and Artists looked to The Past for their inspiration, France entered into a gilded period of Architectural Pastiche, imitating previous Styles including The Gothic.
That period in the history of France is known as The Second Empire (1852-1870). And, like all regimes after the restoration, the Government and People favoured Religious Subjects in the Art that it sponsored.
Expansion of French industry brought with it economic prosperity and an influx of people to the big City. Paris grew from one-million inhabitants around 1850 to two-million by the end of the Century, with the number of Parishes growing from forty-six to sixty-nine.
New Church construction flourished as Paris turned into a vast building site. In fact, it can be said of that period of French history: “No period presents us with so many pieces of Religious Art executed simultaneously by such a large number of distinguished Artists" (Gazette des Beaux-Arts, 1861).
The Church of Saint-Eugène was constructed between 1854-1855 by the Architects Louis-Auguste Boileau and Louis-Adrien Lusson. It was the first Church in France to use an entirely iron-framed structure for construction.
This was inspired by the metal framework construction seen just before, with Baltards's construction in metal of the old Central Halles in Paris in 1854. This innovative new construction method was deemed perfect for a Church, to keep the cost down because it allowed a decrease in the thickness of the masonry walls while also allowing for quick construction, in this case barely twenty months.
The frame was made of metal cast-iron Columns that are attached to the masonry of the Walls, supporting the wrought-iron Trusses, thus avoiding any appearance of heaviness. On each Column, stands Decorated Capitals, moulded in cast-iron and painted in a beautiful array of colour.

This new Style, employing cast-iron and metal framework, became popular and was used in other neighbouring Church construction, such as with Saint Augustine, also in downtown Paris (built between 1860-1869, it was the first monumental Religious Building in Paris with a metal framework).
Visitors to Saint-Eugène enter and notice the markedly-vertical framework that gives this Church its specific character as the eyes of The Faithful are drawn up to Heaven. In place of the massive Pillars of yesteryear, the thirty-six Columns are as thin as Lances, separating the Nave from the Aisles, with little wooden chairs for The Faithful to use.
The Interior of the Church is absolutely stunning with a colourful, airy space. Facing North, the light of the beautiful afternoon Sun enters the Gothic-inspired Sanctuary, recalling a Holy Place. The display of vivid Stained-Glass Windows harmonises with iron Piers and mouldings that are painted in a variety of colours that match the glow of the Stained-Glass Windows.

Blues, Reds, and Greens, provide for a dark Interior, with mythical Ceiling Vaults. From the entrance, the eye embraces the entire volume of the Church, with the Ceiling decorated with exquisite Stencil Work strewn with Stars in the Neo-Gothic Style, Bright Yellow in the Nave and Midnight Blue in the Apses.

The Interior is clearly inspired by Sainte-Chapelle, the Royal Chapel in Paris of The Kings of France. In addition, influences were taken from the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs, an iconic Monastery in Paris that was suppressed during The French Revolution.
The Windows are mostly the work of Master Glassmakers, Lusson, Gsell and Oudinot. Louis-Adrien Lusson and Gaspard Gsell created the main Stained-Glass Windows. The Center-Piece in the Sanctuary is the Window depicting The Transfiguration of Our Lord.

The unique Stations of The Cross, on the main level, are famous because they are depicted in Stained-Glass, a rare work of Eugène-Stanislas Oudinot. These Windows are resolutely notable because they are the only known example of The Via Crucis realised entirely in Stained-Glass. The Pulpit, alone, is an incredible Work of Art, made of Carved Wood with a beautiful Canopy.

One of the biggest assets of the Parish is the excellent Choir, the Schola Sainte Cécile. This is one of the finest Church Choirs in The Catholic World. It is directed by the distinguished Mæstro, Henri Adam de Villers, a Graduate of The Sorbonne and an extremely competent Director of Music.
Henri keeps busy, conducting two Church Choirs. He is French and speaks perfect English, a native of the French Island of Réunion in The Indian Ocean. The Choir has an excellent YouTube Channel that I highly recommend for Readers to get a taste of the high-quality music that is made available to all in Paris.
My favourite Hymn sung by the Choir is Domine Salva Fac Galliam, which they sing on patriotic occasions such as The Feast Day of Saint Denis, Patron Saint of Paris and France. The beautiful Pipe Organ of the Church complements the Choir; built by the German Organ builder, Joseph Merklin, who lived in Paris. This same Organ was exhibited at the 1855 Universal Exhibition in Paris before it was installed in the Church. It has thirty-three Stops, three Keyboards of fifty-six Notes each, a Pedal Board of twenty-seven Notes, and 1,941 Pipes.
Saint-Eugène is the same historic Church where Jules Verne was married in 1857, a French novelist and major literary author. It was built by Decree of the Emperor Napoleon III and Dedicated to Saint-Eugène de Deuil-la-Barre in honour of the Emperor's wife, the Empress Eugénie (1826-1920), who was present for the Dedication of the Church.
Although the Church was Consecrated to Saint-Eugène, in 1952 the name of Sainte-Cécile was added as a nod to the Patron Saint of Musicians, due to the close proximity of the Church to the Paris Conservatory, a College of Music Founded in 1795. For this reason, the Church was initially deprived of Bells at the time of its construction, so as to not interfere with the lessons.
Many of the students of Organ Music would visit the Church to practice on the Parish Organ. Although the Church was Blessed and Dedicated in 1855, it was not until The Holy Year 2000 that the fully-completed Interior of the Church was Dedicated by Cardinal Lustiger, Archbishop of Paris. At that time, he also Blessed the new Carillon, a Set of Bells finally installed despite the absence of a Bell Tower. For more historical information on the Church, see HERE.

On coming out of The Baptismal Font, The Neophytes were given a White Garment (a White Veil is now placed over the newly-Baptised during The Baptismal Ceremonies) as a symbol of the effects of Baptism on their Souls: "All you who have been Baptised have put on Christ" (Communion). They continued to wear it until the day known as "sabbatum in albis depositis" ("The Saturday on which White Vestments are laid aside"), because, on that day, at Saint John Lateran, their Baptismal Robes were taken from them.
The Church, seeing "those New-Born Babes" (Epistle) gathered around her, asks them, by the mouth of Saint Peter, her Head, ever to drink The Spiritual and Pure Milk of The True Doctrine.
And in that Basilica, dedicated to The Holy Redeemer, she reminds them that their Souls are The Living Stones of a Spiritual House, of which Christ is The Corner-Stone. The Gospel also shows us The Prince of The Apostles, who, even before Saint John, realised The Resurrection of Christ, of which he is to be Witness to The Whole Church.

After bringing her Neophytes together on successive days at Saint John Lateran, Saint Mary Major, Saint Peter's, Saint Paul's, Saint Laurence's, and The Twelve Apostles, The Church, today, made a Lenten Station at the Basilica Dedicated to all The Martyrs and to their Queen, where was made most manifest The Triumph of Christ over paganism.
For the Pantheon, the temple consecrated to the worship of all the gods, was, in the 7th-Century A.D., Dedicated to Mary and to The Martyrs of The Catacombs, a large number of whose bones Pope Boniface IV caused to be Transferred to this Basilica.

The Feast of The Dedication of this Church soon afterwards became known as The Feast of All Saints. (Feast Day 1 November.)
The Introit, the Collect and the Epistle remind us that the Covenant established by God with Noe and his seed, after their escape from The Flood, and later renewed with Moses and his people after their Passage through The Red Sea, is a figure of The New Covenant, under which The Neophytes were brought from The Baptismal Font unto the adoption of Children of God.
Jesus on The Cross virtually killed sin (Alleluia, Epistle), and, by His Resurrection, of which The Apostles were Witnesses, (Gospel), He gave us The Life of Grace. Baptism brought home to our Souls this twofold effect of Life and Death. Let us ever remain faithful to it.

On this day, The Church used to gather together in the Church of The Twelve Apostles, witnesses of The Risen Christ, her New-Born Children, in order that they might Sing The Praises of The Lord, Who had associated them with His Triumph (Introit, Communion). In this Lenten Stational Basilica, are the bodies of Saint Philip and Saint James.
The Gospel tells of the appearance of Jesus to Magdalen, who was the first to inform The Apostles of the disappearance of Our Lord's Body, and who, after seeing The Risen Christ, was deputed by Him to proclaim to them The Double Mystery of The Resurrection and The Ascension.
The Epistle tells of one of the first seven Deacons, called Philip. [This Deacon must not be confused with Saint Philip, the Apostle.] He Baptises a heathen eunuch, who, in a transport of joy, Preaches everywhere the Gospel of Jesus.

This is what The Church has done for The Catechumens, "who have just been born again in The Font of Baptism" (Collect). "God hath made the tongues of those infants eloquent" (Introit), and, by their Faith and their good actions (Collect), they sing The Triumph of Jesus over death (Alleluia) and over their own Souls (Communion).
Let us remember that, by Baptism, we have become united in one and the same Faith to The Risen Christ (Collect), Whose Father is now Our Father.

“Dickens’s Dream”.
“Dickens's Dream”.
Artist: Robert William Buss (1804–1875)
Photo credit: Charles Dickens Museum, London.
Text and Illustration from ART UK
This painting by Robert William Buss, an enthusiastic admirer of Charles Dickens’s writings, was painted five years after the author’s death in 1870.
The posthumous painting of Dickens celebrates his vivid imagination and illustrates characters from all his books, spanning 'Pickwick Papers' to 'Edwin Drood', surrounding Dickens in his library at Gad’s Hill, Rochester, Kent, England.
The setting was modelled on Luke Filde's engraving, 'The Empty Chair', and the figure of Dickens was copied from a well-known photograph by John Watkins (from 1863).
