The virgin St. Colette stands as an example of womanly purity for the sake of the Kingdom of God, especially in our age of immodesty. With her renunciation of self and of the world, God raised Colette to the heights of mystical gifts, favored her with miracles, and used her to restore the primitive observance of the Rule of the Poor Clares.

The post Forgive for Life – Mar 06 – Homily – Fr Terrance first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Ave Maria!  The coronation of the Virgin Mary was honored last month by the restoration of a beautiful painting depicting it, at St. John’s CoCathedral in Valletta, Malta.

The St John’s CoCathedral Foundation has unveiled the restoration of the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, a majestic and large painting which was in dire need of intervention.

The painting was in an advanced state of deterioration because of the movements it had sustained, especially when it had been removed from its frame and placed into storage during war time, Cathedral CEO Cynthia de Giorgio said.

Past interventions covered some of the details of the iconography obscuring the original aesthetics of the composition. The layers of varnish that had been given to the painting had darkened over the years rendering the canvas surface dull and the subject difficult to comprehend.

The restoration methods used in this project reversed past interventions and brought the painting close to its former condition.

“The process unveiled the elegant iconography of the mannerist style of this painting which can now be safely placed as a production of the late 16th century,” she said.

On the memorial of St. Gregory the Great (Pope & Doctor of the Church, Sept. 3), Fr. Alan explains how the current crisis of sexual abuse within the Church conspicuously points to the need for reform, beginning by restoring the principle of truth in matters of faith and morals, especially with regard to sexual behavior.

St. Gregory reformed the Church in his day, addressing lost discipline in the clergy and in the liturgy by restoring the sense of sin and of the sense of the sacred. These fundamental issues are today undermined by the loss of the principle of truth, through relativism. A sense of truth must be restored in order to resolve the crisis at the root.

Ave Maria!

Here is a beautiful video of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris before the fire. Enjoy!

Apparently the structure of the cathedral is largely intact, including the facades, most of the vaulted ceiling, the belfries and most of the stained glass. Further huge amounts of donations have been pouring in so it looks like this most famous monument to Our Lady will be rebuilt in its full glory. Deo Gratias!

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jul 11, 2022, on the different types of stealing as it relates to the 7th Commandment in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as he continues his series on the 10 Commandments

Notes:

Judas was a thief

Usurp someone’s property with reasonable presumption that it is against the reasonable will of the owner

Other forms of theft, speculation, corruption, appropriation of common goods, work poorly done, damaging private property, etc.

Gravity is the amount of damage or gain we have acquired

Must uphold contracts and promises

Gambling has the same morality as drinking, some is ok, too much is a sin

Need to know yourself and avoid what enslaves you

Cheating in games is a sin

Confess and restore what we have stolen

Ave Maria!
