(Thank you for all of the prayers for my friend John in Rome. The situation continues sideways, and as of this writing, transferring hospitals is not “possible”. He was brought Holy Communion in the early afternoon. Let’s hope that the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist in the halls of the Hospital sent the demons into retreat.)

From Dom Gueranger:
“The King of Jews and Gentiles revealed Himself upon the mountain, where His calm splendour eclipsed for evermore the lightnings of Sinai; the covenant of the eternal alliance was declared, not by the promulgation of a law of servitude engraven upon stone, but by the manifestation of the Lawgiver Himself, coming as Bridegroom to reign in grace and beauty over hearts.”
