When his beloved wife died in 1290, King Edward I built 12 magnificent crosses to mark her final journey across England.

Eleanor of Castile had been at Edward's side for 36 years when she died near Lincoln.

The king was devastated.

Her body was carried south to Westminster Abbey in a solemn procession, stopping overnight at towns along the route.

At each of the 12 stops, Edward ordered an elaborate stone cross in Eleanor's memory, decorated with intricate carvings and statues of the queen.

The 12 crosses were built at Lincoln, Grantham, Stamford, Geddington, Hardingstone near Northampton, Stony Stratford, Woburn, Dunstable, St Albans, Waltham, Westcheap in London, and Charing.

The last stood at Charing, near today's Trafalgar Square, and gave Charing Cross its name.

More than seven centuries later, three of the original medieval crosses still survive, at Geddington, Hardingstone and Waltham Cross.

A king's grief, carved into stone across England over 700 years ago.

Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour.

The image is a Byzantine icon from the late Middle Ages and has resided in Rome since the late 1400s and is now in the care of the Redemptorists.
The image is to be found in many churches and homes across the world.

[Ninefold Kyrie @Gda1238]

St. Alban.

On a hill beside a river
Stands the shrine of Britain's saint,
honoured, loved by those who know him.
Freed at last from all restraint,
For he stands with saints in glory
With his prayers our feet are shod
May our courage never fail us
As we journey home to God.

Cuando pensamos en Santo Tomás de Aquino, solemos imaginar a un gran teólogo rodeado de libros. Pero pocas personas saben que algunos de los himnos eucarísticos más hermosos de la historia nacieron de rodillas, delante del Santísimo Sacramento.

Cuando el Papa pidió composiciones para la nueva solemnidad de Corpus Christi, Tomás escribió obras que todavía hoy resuenan en las iglesias de todo el mundo: el Pange Lingua, el Tantum Ergo, el Panis Angelicus y el Lauda Sion. No nacieron solamente de una inteligencia extraordinaria, sino de un corazón profundamente enamorado de Jesús Eucaristía.

La tradición cuenta que, después de escribir sobre este misterio, Cristo le preguntó desde un crucifijo: «Tomás, has hablado bien de mí. ¿Qué recompensa deseas?». Y él respondió: «Nada más que a Ti, Señor».

Quizás ahí se encuentra el secreto de su santidad. Porque la verdadera sabiduría no consiste en saber mucho sobre Dios, sino en amarle. Y por eso sus himnos siguen conmoviendo almas más de siete siglos después: porque fueron escritos por una mente brillante, pero sobre todo por un corazón que pertenecía completamente a Cristo.

Tres jueves hay en el año
que relucen más que el sol:
Corpus Christi, Jueves Santo
y el día de la Ascensión.

Ecce Panis Angelorum,
Factus cibus viatorum:
Vere panis filiorum,
Non mittendus canibus.

[Ninefold Kyrie @Gda1238]

The Eve of Corpus Christi.

Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,
Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light
And be blest for ever with Thy glory’s sight.

(Translation of the Adoro Te by the poet-priest Gerard Manley Hopkins)

This is the week of Corpus Christi. Though celebrated throughout Italy, certain places are famous for keeping it with the greatest solemnity.

One of the most popular traditions is the Infiorata of Genzano. Streets, carpeted with flowers, accompany the Eucharistic procession.

The best Trinity Sunday sermon that I have ever heard:

Priest took off maniple at altar and entered the pulpit for sermon. He said “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.”

Then he left the pulpit, put on the maniple and led the people in the Nicene Creed.

Sermon Score: 10/10
