The Undercroft: May 2007
http://theundercroft.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 25, 2007. Here is a book on my shelves, its spine somewhat light-faded, bought many years ago at a time when its title excited me; packed up, unread, before a move; unpacked and re-shelved afterwards, the gold lettering still able to raise a frisson. Of promise and excitement – an undiscovered country awaiting the leisure to explore it. Art and Scholasticism. By Jacques Maritain. I kid you not. Brings it on in topmast-high, unconquerable waves. Of the Divine Office ( Deo gratias. Larkin’...

http://memoryofdeath.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Psa 39:4 O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! Sunday, November 30, 2008. Nativity - Day 3. I've recently discovered the Russian bishop: Hilarion Alfeyev. His Grace has an impressive repertoire of publications and articles. One of these articles is: St. Isaac of Ninevah and Syrian Mysticism. Here are some excerpts:. And what is a merciful heart? And whence does a man know that his has attained to the perfect love of God? The periods of darkness and...

The Undercroft: October 2007
http://theundercroft.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 27, 2007. Someone once told me that learning Chinese had changed the whole shape of his brain. I think I can understand what he meant, just as I think I understand, as a functional innumerate, what people mean who speak of the beauty of mathematics. There's nothing obscure about the beauty of what follows, though. Thanks to my friend Theophilus. 8220;Hw-ay Gai” - Remorse leading to correction. What's the difference between repentance and remorse? Saturday, October 27, 2007.

The Undercroft: November 2007
http://theundercroft.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 10, 2007. Deology warps the mind and suffocates the conscience. People who have become accustomed to viewing everything through ideological lenses are often genuinely incapable of recognising or telling the truth. Up is down for them and black, white. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery. Collapse is Renewal. It is this more than anything which accounts for the grotesque, topsy-turvy, parallel-universe quality of TabletWorld. Saturday, November 10, 2007. Links to this post. In the sun the ...

The Undercroft: Ars celebrandi
http://theundercroft.blogspot.com/2008/06/ars-celebrandi.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. Has a post today about liturgical silence, from which I've borrowed the image above. He writes:. I think there is a real problem many people have with integration of personal and liturgical prayer. It is perhaps easier with the use of the Missal of John XXIII and its silent Canon or the Byzantine rites when the Canon is in silence, the Royal doors closed and the veil drawn, and prayerful hush descends on the congregation. That somehow never descends to irreverence. Well - I say.

The Undercroft: Crossing the Water
http://theundercroft.blogspot.com/2011/03/crossing-water.html
Tuesday, March 08, 2011. My friend TTony, in a very kind "welcome back" post. And I'll have done what I set out to do. To clear the ground I mean to start this weekend with Fr. Thomas Hopkos's "Twelve Step Programme", which I earnestly recommend to absolutely everyone, Orthodox, Ortho-friendly, Ortho-phobic, or Ortho-couldn't-care-less. Pack the Avomine. Tuesday, March 08, 2011. I look forward to posts. And thanks for your prayers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Glory to God for All Things.
