When I was about five or six years old, my Dad helped an elderly colleague move. I never knew her name or even where she was moving, but she was a grand-motherly type and her tiny house was filled with “lady things”.

Being raised with my brother by a single Dad, this was the first time I recall ever seeing female things. They were alien. Fascinating. I wanted to touch them all and the kind woman noticed this and took time to show me some of her treasures as she packed them into boxes.

Before we left that evening, she opened a tiny lacquered box, with herons edged in gold, and asked if I knew what the silver dome was inside. I couldn’t guess. She asked if I would learn to sew someday, and I assured her “Oh yes!”, without any idea what she was talking about. She gave me the box to take home and I never saw her again.

​Decades later that box had remained with me without any real effort on my part. It wasn’t an important trinket. I don’t know why I still have it.

But, ten years ago, I started repairing Vestments (how I became Catholic is a different story), but I suddenly recalled that little orange box and pulled it out to use it for the first time.

A full forty years had passed and I saw it with new eyes.
The graceful name, engraved on the side, stopped me in my tracks . . . Maria.

The Book of Psalms.

The Psalms are called by the Hebrews “TEHILLIM”, that is, Hymns of Praise. The author of a great part of them, at least, was King David. But many are of the opinion that some of them were authored by Asaph, and others whose names
are prefixed in the titles.


“Quare Fremuerunt”.
The Vain Efforts Of Persecutors
Against Christ And His Church.


Why have the Gentiles raged,
and the people devised vain things ?

The Kings of the Earth stood up,
and the Princes met together,
against The Lord, and against His Christ.

Let us break their bonds asunder:
And let us cast away their yoke from us.


He that dwelleth in Heaven shall laugh at them:
And The Lord shall deride them.

Then shall He speak to them in His anger,
and trouble them in His rage.

But I am appointed King by Him over Sion,
His holy mountain, preaching His commandment.


The Lord hath said to me:
Thou art my son,
this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of Me,
and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance,
and the utmost parts of the Earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron,
and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.


And now, O ye Kings, understand:
Receive instruction, you that judge the Earth.

Serve ye The Lord with fear:
And rejoice unto Him with trembling.

Embrace discipline,
lest at any time The Lord be angry,
and you perish from the just way.

When His wrath shall be kindled in a short time,
Blessed are all they that trust in Him.

The Solemnity Of Saint Joseph. Spouse Of The Blessed Virgin Mary. Confessor. Patron Of The Universal Church. The Third Wednesday After Easter Sunday.

Third Wednesday after Easter.
   (Wednesday after Good Shepherd Sunday).

Today's Mass might be represented by a Triptych (see, below), showing us that Saint Joseph is the protector, whom Divine Providence has chosen for His Church.

1. The Epistle speaks to us of Joseph, who, in The Old Testament, is a figure of Saint Joseph. The dying Jacob prophesies that his son, Joseph, "shall be the Pastor and Strength of Israel, and that The Almighty shall shower Blessings upon him." And Joseph was established by Pharao over the entire land of Egypt, so that the salvation of all depended upon him. [The Lessons and Responses of The First Nocturn of Matins.] The whole Church has recourse to Saint Joseph with confidence.

2. The Gospel, Collect, and Communion, explaining the connection between The Heavenly Trinity and The Holy Family, this Trinity on Earth, show forth the power of Saint Joseph. Jesus is, at the same time, Son of God and Son of man. Mary is The Spouse of The Holy Ghost, and it is the will of God The Father that Saint Joseph should be considered father of Christ and that he should exercise paternal rights over Him (Preface).

3. Lastly, the Introit, Collects, Alleluia, and Offertory, show us Saint Joseph as the guardian of the new Jerusalem, which is The Church, to watch over her in the midst of all her tribulations.

Full of confidence in the patronage of Saint Joseph, let us honour his Title of Protector on Earth, so as to deserve his help from Heaven (Collect).

Mass: Adjútor.
Creed: Is said.

Prayer To Saint Joseph.

Prescribed by Pope Leo XIII, for the Month of October,
after the recitation of The Rosary 
and The Litany of Our Lady.
Indulgence: 300 Days.
21 September 1889.

Unto thee. O, Blessed Joseph, do we fly in our tribulation and, having implored the help of thy Holy Spouse, we now also confidently seek thy protection.

By that affection which united thee to The Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by thy fatherly love for The Child Jesus, we humbly beg thee to look down with compassion on the inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased with His Blood, and in our need to help us by thy powerful intercession.

Do thou, O prudent Guardian of The Holy Family,
watch over the chosen people of Jesus Christ.

Keep us, O loving father, safe from all error
and corruption. O great protector, from thy place
in Heaven, graciously help us in our contest
against The Powers of Darkness.

And as of old thou didst rescue The Child Jesus from
the danger of death, so now defend God's Holy Church
from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity.

Extend to each one of us thy continual protection,
that, led on by thine example, and strengthened
by thine aid, we may live and die in holiness,
and obtain everlasting happiness in Heaven.

Amen.

The Paschal Cycle surrounds The King of Martyrs, Whose triumph it celebrates, with a bevy of Saints who "followed Him bearing their Crosses and who, having lost their lives for His sake," found the life of which Jesus, Risen Again, is the model (Gospel).

Saint Anicetus, Invested with full Sacerdotal power (Introit), succeeded Pope Saint Pius I as Pope. He governed The Church from 150 A.D. to his death in 168 A.D. and took such a part in The Sufferings of Christ (Epistle) that, although he did not shed his blood for The Faith, he was given the Title of Martyr.

He preserved his flock from the heresies of Valentinus and Marcion and "filled with The Consolations of Jesus, he was enabled, in turn, to console those who suffered" (Epistle). The great Saint Polycarp came to him at Rome to confer especially about the date of the Celebration of Easter, for, by the coincidence of this Feast with that of the Jews, it was right to claim that the Mysteries of The Death and Resurrection of Jesus had realised, and taken the place of, the immolation of the Jewish paschal lamb.

"Let us rejoice for the annual Solemnity of Blessed Anicetus" (Collect). This Feast reminds us of the date when, after having died with Christ on Earth, this Holy Martyr went to share The Glory of His Resurrection in Heaven.

The Church, in the 2nd-Century A.D., had to oppose the errors of pagan philosophers and suffer cruel persecution. But God raised up courageous men, known as The Apologist Fathers, who defended Christian Dogma at the price of their lives.

The most illustrious at that time was Saint Justin, who was born at Nablus (Samaria), about 100 A.D. As a pagan philosopher, he examined the teaching of the pagan philosophical systems and only found error and false wisdom; for human intelligence rejecting Supernatural Light soon goes astray (Epistle, Gradual).

Saint Justin then studied The Word of The Crucified God and became a Christian. Seeing in reason a precious auxiliary of Faith, he opened at Rome the first school of Christian Philosophy and there taught "the eminent science of Jesus Christ" (Collect).



He became celebrated especially by the two Apologies which he had the courage (Gospel) to address successively to the persecuting Emperors Antoninus and Marcus Aurelius (Introit).

An edict of Antoninus mitigated the persecution. Marcus Aurelius, on the contrary, caused Saint Justin to be scourged and condemned him to death. He died a Martyr on 13 April, about 162 A.D.

"Let us conform to the teaching of The Blessed Martyr, Justin" (Postcommunion) "so that we may remain firm in The Faith" (Collect).

Mass: Narravérunt.
Commemoration: Of The Feria, in Lent.
Commemoration: Of The Holy Martyrs Tilburtius and Companions.




The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.

Justin Martyr, also known as Saint Justin (100 A.D. – 
165 A.D.), was an Early-Christian Apologist, and is regarded as the foremost interpreter of the Theory of the Logos in the 2nd-Century A.D. He was Martyred, alongside some of his students, and is considered a Saint by the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Most of his works are lost, but two Apologies and a Dialogue did survive. The First Apology, his most well-known Text, passionately defends the morality of the Christian Life, and provided various ethical and philosophical arguments to convince the Roman Emperor, Antoninus, to abandon the persecution of the fledgling Sect.

Further, he also indicates, as Saint Augustine did regarding the “True Religion” that pre-dated Christianity, that the “seeds of Christianity” (manifestations of the Logos acting in history) actually pre-dated Christ’s Incarnation. This notion allows him to claim many historical Greek Philosophers (including Socrates and Plato), in whose Works he was well studied, as unknowing Christians.

Hermenegild, son of the King of The Visigoths, in Spain, married the daughter of the Frankish King of Austrasia, and was converted to Catholicism, his family being Arian. His father, in his anger, threw him into a dungeon and, in the night of Easter, caused an Arian Bishop to take Communion to him.

But “God did not abandon him in his prison” (Epistle). Hermenegild sacrificed to The Love of God the love of his father, and of his own life (Gospel), and indignantly repelled the heretical Bishop.

Put to death on 13 April 586 A.D., he shared the triumph of Christ, Who "in The Kingdom of God, gave him The Royal Sceptre" (Epistle). His father died recommending the Martyr's brother, Recarede, to bring back the Nation to The True Faith. Thus, Spain became Catholic.

"Following the example of Saint Hermenegild, who preferred Heavenly Royalty to Earthly Royalty, let us despise perishable possessions and only seek the Eternal ones" (Collect).

Paschal Time. Thursday In Easter Week.


 
Text from “The Liturgical Year”.
By: Abbot Guéranger, O.S.B.
   Volume 7.
   Paschal Time.
   Book 1.


“Hæc dies quam fecit Dominus:
Exsultemus et lætemur in ea”.

“This is the day which The Lord hath made:
Let us be glad and rejoice therein”.


After having glorified The Lamb of God, and The Passover, whereby Our Lord destroyed our enemies; after having celebrated our deliverance by water, and our entrance into The Promised Land; let us now fix our respectful gaze upon Him Whose triumph is pre-figured by all these prodigies.

So dazzling is the glory that now beams from this Man-God, that, like the Prophet of Patmos, we shall fall prostrate before Him. But He is so wonderful, too, in His love, that He will encourage us to enjoy the grand vision: He will say to us, as He did to his disciple: “Fear not ! I am the First, and the Last; and alive, and was dead; and behold ! I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of Hell”.

Yes, He is now Master of death, which had held Him captive; He holds in His hand the keys of Hell. These expressions of Scripture signify that He has power over death and the tomb; He has conquered them.


Now, the first use He makes of His victory is to make us partakers of it. Let us adore His infinite goodness; and, in accordance with the wish of Holy Church, let us meditate, today, upon the effects wrought in each one of ourselves by the mystery of The Pasch.

Jesus says to His beloved disciple: “I am alive, and was dead”: The day will come when we also shall triumphantly say: “We are living, and we were dead !”.

Death awaits us: It is daily advancing towards us; we cannot escape its vengeance. “The wages of sin is death”: In these few words of Scripture, we are taught how death is not only universal, but even necessary; for we have all sinned.


This, however, does not make the law less severe; nor can we help seeing a frightful disorder in the violent separation of Soul and body, which were united together by God, Himself.

If we truly understand death, we must remember that God made man immortal: This will explain the instinctive dread we have of death, a dread which one thing alone can conquer; and that is, the spirit of sacrifice.

In the death, then, of each one of us, there is the handiwork of sin, and, consequently, a victory won by Satan; Nay, there would be a humiliation for our Creator, Himself, were it not that, by sentencing us to this punishment, He satisfied His justice.


This is man’s well-merited, but terrible, condemnation. What can he hope for ? Never to die ? It would be folly: The sentence is clear, and none may escape. Can he hope that this body, which is to become first a corpse, and then be turned into a mere handful of dust, will one day return to life, and be reunited to the Soul for which it was made ?

But, who could bring about the reunion of an immortal substance with one that was formerly united with it, but has now seemingly been annihilated ? And yet, O, man ! This is to be thy lot ! Thou shalt rise again; that poor body of thine, which is to die, to be buried, forgotten, and humbled, shall be restored to life.

Yea, it even now comes forth from the tomb, in the person of Our Lord Jesus Christ; our future resurrection is accomplished in His; it is, today, that we are made as sure of our resurrection as we are of our death. This, too, makes part of our glorious feast, our Pasch !


God did not, at the beginning, reveal this miracle of His power and goodness: All He said to Adam was: “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken; for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return”. Not a word, not an allusion, which gives the culprit the least hope with reference to that portion of himself which is thus doomed to death and the grave.

It was fitting that the ungrateful pride, which had led man to rebel against his Maker, should be humbled. Later on, the great mystery was revealed at least partially.

Four thousand years ago, a poor sufferer, whose body was covered with ulcers, spoke these words of hope: “I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth. And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see God: This my hope is laid up in my bosom”.
