Pope Benedict XVI, Palm Sunday Homily, 2010
Immediately at the beginning of the liturgy this day, the Church anticipates her response to the Gospel, saying, "Let us follow the Lord." With that the theme of Palm Sunday is clearly expressed. It is about following. Being Christian means seeing the way of Jesus Christ as the right… » More

Fra Angelico's "Christ in Limbo" (c.1450. Fresco); Convento di San Marco, Florence
"Something strange is happening - there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and He has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles… » More

The Riches of a Dominican Holy Week: Adoring the Cross on Good Friday
Posted by Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P. on April 02, 2010
Fra Angelico's "Saint Dominic Adoring the Crucifixion" (1440s); Convento di San Marco, Florence
Silent. Bare. Empty. For a Dominican Friar accustomed to entering the priory chapel throughout the day, every day, the change is striking. Our Lord has been taken from us, seized, as it were, from the garden. The Bridegroom's friends fast on this day.
If you arrive in choir early, you can watch the Friars as they enter and go to their choir stalls.… » More
