God’s Holy Name can be a source of fear – and consolation
June 21, 2020
Here is a wonderful prayer to sing! It is stark and lavish and carefully balanced and quintessentially Roman. This week’s Collect, in 1962 Missale Romanum for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost (last week), was in the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary for the Sunday after Ascension Thursday. It is also prayed after the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.

In most places the Feast of Corpus Christi, or as it is called in the Novus Ordo the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, is transferred from its real date, Thursday after Trinity Sunday, to an “external celebration” on the following Sunday. On the true feast day, Thursday, we were two

If Our Blessed Lord is the New Temple, then His Most Sacred Heart is the Temple’s Holy of Holies. We venerate Our Lord’s Sacred Heart with special attention during the month of June.

As they did for the Jews, our feast days look both backward, to commemorate an important moment in salvation history, and forward, the fulfillment in Christ of what was foreshadowed. For the Jews, the Fiftieth Day Feast, Hebrew Shavuot or Greek Pentekosté, commemorated the descent of God’s Law to Moses on Mount Sinai, wreathed in

Given Our Lady’s role in the redemptive mission of Her Son and the honour the Trinity gives her now as Queen of Heaven, it is hardly possible for us to shower Mary with enough laurels.

This Sunday has many nicknames. In the post-Conciliar calendar it is the “Second Sunday of Easter (or of Divine Mercy)”. It is also called “Thomas Sunday” (because of the Gospel reading about the doubting Apostle), and “Quasimodo Sunday” (from the first word of the Introit), and “Low Sunday”. Since ancient times today has been called
