Hugh Capet has spent a long time answering the pilgrim Dante's first question: who were you? He now turns to the pilgrim's second question: why did I only hear your voice on this terrace?In doing so, Hugh begins to sing antiphonally . . . or at least, he begins to list off those who have been done in by avarice, the quickest and tightest list of figures in PURGATORIO.Why is this list so full of figures yet so curt in its style? And why does Hugh seem to come to the end of his speech so abruptly?Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we try to answer these and other questions at the conclusions of Hugh Capet's monumental monologue.If you'd like to make a contribution to underwrite the many fees for this podcast, you can do so as either a one-time donation or through a small monthly stipend.

Aus irgendeiner Idee heraus habe ich mir das Video vom Krippenspiel im DOMRADIO im Dezember 2020 noch einmal angeschaut. In dieser Coronaweihnacht hatten wir mit Kindern vom Josefshaus aus Olpe und Dumicke und Schwestern und Nachbarn und Mitarbeitenden das Stück eingeübt und dann für den Nachmittag am Heiligen Abend aufgeführt und aufgezeichnet. Und als ich es mir nochmal angeschaut habe, sind mir an manchen Stellen die Tränen gekommen, so berührt war ich.Da war der Josef, der immer den Text vergessen hat, immer in die falsche Richtung geschaut und immer ganz schnell alles runtergerattert hat. Da war ein zartes Mädchen, das als Engel auf einen Hocker klettern musste, weil das Ambo zu hoch war und die dann, mit einem Bein wippend, die beste Botschaft der Welt ganz aufgeregt runtergelesen hat. Da war Maria, die sehr robust und wenig sanft und gütig sein wollte und die sich geweigert hat einen Rock oder sowas anzuziehen und die die Geschenke der Hirten kurz angeschaut und dann einfach auf den Altar gelegt hat, weil sonst kein Platz für die Gaben war. Da waren die Könige, die nicht mehr so genau wussten, was sie sagen wollten und die kleine Flötenspielerin, die, wenn sie sich verspielt hatte, unbeirrt weitergespielt hat.Am Ende aller Aufzeichnungen und nachdem alles "im Kasten" des Kameramannes war, merkte man die Erleichterung der Kinder, dass alles geschafft war und die Freude über den leckeren Kuchen, den die Erzieherinnen extra dafür gebacken hatten. Es war nichts perfekt an diesem Spiel, aber es hatte etwas von der wunderbaren Antiphon des heutigen Invitatoriums: "Heute sollt ihr wissen, dass der Herr kommt und morgen werdet ihr schauen seine Herrlichkeit!" Die Kinder und Jugendlichen wollten mit ihrem zauberhaften, nicht perfekten Spiel zeigen, dass die beste Botschaft der Welt auch in der heute nicht perfekten Welt verkündet werden muss, weil Gott wirklich Mensch geworden ist für uns.

The O Antiphons - Emmanuel We continue looking at the 7 O Antiphons used by some parts of the church in their Christmas worship. Each of them addresses Jesus Christ using a Messianic title drawn from Old Testament prophecy. Today Is Day 7 - O Emmanuel God with us, our King and Law-giver, desired of the nations and their salvation, you came to save us, Lord our God.   Old Testament reading: Isaiah 7:13-14 - Isaiah said, “Listen well, you royal family of David! Isn't it enough to exhaust human patience? Must you exhaust the patience of my God as well? All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us'). New Testament Readings: Matthew 1:23 - ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel' (which means ‘God with us'). John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Acts 4:11-12 - Jesus is ‘“the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.” Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.'

Old Testament readings: Genesis 2:7 - Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Isaiah 2:4 - He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more. Isaiah 9:7 - Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and for ever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. Isaiah 28:16 - Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. Haggai 2:8-9 - “The silver is mine and the gold is mine,” declares the LORD Almighty. “The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,” says the LORD Almighty. “And in this place I will grant peace,” declares the LORD Almighty.' New Testament reading: Ephesians 2:14-16 - For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

Zechariah 6:12-13 - Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: “Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD. It is he who will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.” Malachi 4:2 “But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.   New Testament readings are: Luke 1:8-10 - Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshippers were praying outside.  John 8:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.' Hebrews 1:3 - The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

A request for a podcast version of my recordings of the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception. Here is the Youtube Playlist. Youtube claims to have “podcast” settings, but this doesn't carry across to podcast clients outside Youtube as far as I understand.Anyway, substack does seem to do a good job of being both a blog and a podcast.And you can pick up a printed book of the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception either printed here at Shop Jubilus or as a PDF in the Gitlab repo.Now to figure out whether to stagger the uploads over the next few days - maybe to leave time to figure out whether to re-record Compline to incorporate the restored closing Antiphon chant.

“I started to see the possibilities of what a youth community choir could be. Seeing that profound impact on a young woman was very transformative for me. After two or three years, everything that I did had more layers. There was a new potential of enhancement and community impact. The things that make me go like a volcano are about community, access to programs, and how to break barriers for participation.”Dr. Marcela Molina has been leading the Tucson Girls Chorus since 2006, first serving as Artistic Director and taking the helm as Executive Director in 2011. Under Dr. Molina's guidance, the Tucson Girls Chorus has grown significantly in programming and community engagement.

You may have noticed that I have booklets available on how to sing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sadly, I haven't polished these up for publication. They are still rather inconsistent and at times messy, but they are helpful for pointing you in the right direction. Preparing them for publishing feels like an epic quest beyond my present abilities. While this is a noble goal, maybe a similar yet smaller task might help towards the ultimate end. Maybe I can make a booklet for a smaller Little Office first!The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception shares some similarities and differences. Like the Divine Office, it is arranged by hours and employs similar versicles and collects. On the whole it has a rather different feel, being based around a hymn instead of the Psalms. If you can pick a hymn tune then the hours are pretty much ready to sing. That is, until you get to the last part.Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The last hour of the day is Completorium or Compline. While the large part of the hour follows the same pattern as the other hours, it ends with a new section called The Commendation or Commendatio. This consists of a hymn followed by the response, Deo gratias, then an Antiphon, Versicle and Response closing with a Collect or Prayer.The first version I recorded only had the hymn of the Commendation, so it was only recently that I began to puzzle over the Antiphon. The other parts can be sung easily with common tunes. Antiphons are little snippets each with their own melody. There are hundreds of them in the Liber Usualis and the Antiphonale Monasticum, but not this particular one.Haec est virga in qua nec nodus originalis, nec cortex actualis culpae fuit.This is the rod wherein was neither the knot of original sin, nor the bark of actual sin.Some research revealed that this particular antiphon can be found in Vespers for the medieval Franciscan feast of the Immaculate Conception, long before the universal feast was established after Our Lady gave her title to St Bernadette at Lourdes. The two manuscripts containing the antiphon date from the 17th and 18th centuries.A beautifully photographed manuscript clearly gave all the antiphons for this feast. The neumes are intelligible even after hundreds of years. I transcribed this piece into “modern” square notes and added it to Gregobase.And here is how it sounds:Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a reader-supported publication.

Does Mathew 1:18-25 leave room for the possibility that Mary was not a virgin in perpetuity? In reading the Divine Office, the Antiphon was "Offer to God the sacrifice of praise". What does that mean? and more on today's Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

“We are reading to fast!”  This is typically something that we would never say about our study groups. However, as we sit at the feet of St. John Climacus, we come to the realization that we could sit with a single saying for months on end and not fail to be nourished.  We concluded our discussion of Step 23 and the difficulty with blasphemous thoughts. The evil one in his envy will seek to distract us with blasphemous thoughts that come like a flash of lightning before the mind. Our one response should be to lay this great burden upon the Lord, to entrust it to him, knowing that it comes not from our hearts but from the malice of the evil one.  In Step 24 Saint John begins to discuss meekness, simplicity, and guilelessness. As Saint John begins to define it for us, we suddenly experience ourselves as moving too briskly. Meekness is an “unchangeable state of mind, a rock overlooking the sea of anger”. These thoughts alone are enough to alter our view of this great virtue. In the face of the chaos of living in a fallen world or the experience of the hatred and anger of others, meekness becomes a buttress that is unshakable and keeps us from being swept away by touchiness of mind or irritability of heart. Meekness creates the desire for simplicity; to create a place where the Lord will find rest within us. It allows us to maintain dominion over our heart by the simple act of mortifying the intellect and private judgment. In the weeks to come, may we linger along with these thoughts and come to desire this great virtue.   ---   Text of chat during the group:   00:01:31 Suzanne: Hello! Happy Feast of All Saints!!   00:01:39 FrDavid Abernethy: to you as well!   00:01:54 FrDavid Abernethy: page 175 para 47   00:03:02 Suzanne: Look! The West gets it! From Vespers for All Saints:   00:03:09 Suzanne: Choréa casta vírginum, Et quos erémus íncolas Transmísit astris, cǽlitum Locáte nos in sédibus.   00:03:52 Suzanne: And the Antiphon from the Magnifcat:   00:03:58 Suzanne: Ángeli, * Archángeli, Throni et Dominatiónes, Principátus et Potestátes, Virtútes cælórum, Chérubim atque Séraphim, Patriárchæ et Prophétæ, sancti legis Doctóres, Apóstoli, omnes Christi Mártyres, sancti Confessóres, Vírgines Dómini, Anachorítæ, Sanctíque omnes, intercédite pro nobis.   00:04:23 Sean: I tried to find it, it's out of 'print', no luck   00:06:44 Rachel: ty   00:09:26 FrDavid Abernethy: page 175 para 47   00:14:59 Art: Hello TY and same to you!   00:25:05 Louise: In my culture of origin, in Quebec, Canada, the French-Canadians swear with the names of God and the Eucharist, even psychologists in supervision with me. I ask them to not do so, but they relapse after a while. I thus decided to offer, inwardly, my apologies to Christ when they swear. Can I do something else?   00:25:55 Louise: I would have to exclude them all.   00:28:38 David Swiderski: When I lived in Spain the same issue most swears blasphemous. I was a teacher so just joked wow you need a thesaurs and have a limited and very poor vocabulary. It seemed to work and get a laugh.   00:31:47 Suzanne: equanimity   00:33:05 Fr Marty, ND, 480-292-3381: Learn of Me, for I am meek and humble in heart. It seems, then, that depending on Christ and becoming like Christ transforms us into being humble. So, it seems like it's part of the process of theosis. Is this so?   00:33:37 sharonfisher: How can insecurity be transformed to meekness? I guess I'm asking how to display the strength I feel in Jesus Christ, but the body belies.   00:34:30 Anthony Rago: Something that helps me deal with anger -and bad thoughts - is that any bad thought against a man really reflects on the Lord,  the ne Adanm. And any bad thought against a woman really reflects on our Lady, the ideal of a woman. I don't like that so it helps keep the interior life in check, to dash the infants of evil thoughts against the rocks.   00:38:02 sharonfisher: Replying to "How can insecurity b..."   Thank you - I think my question was more self-centered (ie, not appropriate!)   00:38:38 David Swiderski: On my door to my room I have a quote which I see when I leave and when I go to bed- (In loving one another, God in us made flesh). I often find I fall short at night but seem more careful the next day.   00:40:08 sharonfisher: Reacted to "On my door to my roo..." with ❤️   00:40:58 Daniel Allen: This conversation about meekness makes me think of “the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent carry it away” which is very much not being a doormat. So it's a matter of that violence being directed towards biting our own tongue (or what have you) and not against another.   00:45:09 Suzanne: Fr. Ripperger talks about demons putting negative perspectives on things that are pure illusions, and that get us angry.   00:46:38 Ashley Kaschl: To Suzanne's point, it's the cogitative power of the brain that Fr. R talks about, which makes associations, and is why asking the Lord to protect our faculties is so important
