New on the blogosphere

My term is now over, so I now have a little more time for blogging-not that I'm trying to allow myself much time for it as I have a lot of work to before before going back to university, and am trying to spend less time over Holy Week on the internet.

Visiting Lacrimarum Valle this morning, I came across this rather good blog by one of our brethren in the West. As you can see, he has something of a soft spot for liturgy, Catholic history, and the Venerable Pius XII-my cup of tea entirely!

Then of course, there are no shortage of lovely pictures at Hallowed Ground (as usual).

Enjoy!

Feast of the Sacred Heart

I wish you all a very Holy and Happy feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord is something in need of revival, and is given highly informative raise from the Servant of God Pius XII in his encyclical Haurietis Aquas, which I recommend heartily.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

More footage of Papa Pacelli

Tip of the biretta to Fr Nicholas for a simply marvellous video of Pius XII in his latter days. Thank you so much Father!

Papa Pacelli's life

Thanks to our friends at Hallowed Ground (they really are too kind to us) for linking a film about the life of the Venerable Pope Pius XII. Unfortunately, I am unable to hear it, but the images are simply unforgettable. As the delightful hymn says: "Oh Mother, I could weep for joy"!
