When the Patriarch was returning: August 2010

When the Patriarch was returning. Monday, 23 August 2010. On the Worthlessness of Mary. Will great round to writing the next day of Downside up in the near future. In the meantime, here is a little something on our Lady- my first attempt at anything homiletic/ theological. Our Lady has a great many, very beautiful titles: Mirror of Justice, Seat of Wisdom, Tower of Ivory, Ocean of Bitterness, House of God, Morning Star, Mother of Perpetual Help, and so on ad infinitum. Does it really matter? I love a cer...

When the Patriarch was returning: July 2010
http://whenthepatriarch.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
When the Patriarch was returning. Thursday, 29 July 2010. As you may, or may not know,. I have a great attachment to the Order of the Friars Preacher: The Dominicans; in fact it is my ambition, and I hope, my vocation to join them and seek my salvation and that of others among their ranks. The reasons for this are many and varied, and the subject of another post. The first was one of the annual events of my hectic social kalendar (! The second is a first for me- I went down to London to stay with someone...

When the Patriarch was returning. Monday, 19 March 2012. Walsingham. The Story so Far. I determined to learn more about it, and was loaned Fr. Stephenson's wonderful books Walsingham Way and Merrily on High. Both full of anecdotes and exceedingly entertaining. I was overjoyed when I saw both had been re-printed. As it was, it was Lourdes that made me a Papist, but that is another blog post. Pray for him, and pray for the reunion of Christendom, as he doubtless did every day of his life.

When the Patriarch was returning. Wednesday, 6 October 2010. But I have had a rather busy month or so. I had a rather nasty attack of pancreatitis, which saw me in hospital for the best part of a week, and which was painful to say the least. Thankfully I was dosed up to the eyeballs with painkillers (who says modern medicine is a bad thing? 6 October 2010 at 14:02. 7 October 2010 at 01:11. 7 October 2010 at 08:36.

When the Patriarch was returning: Sweetest Wood and sweetest iron, sweetest weight is hung on thee!
http://whenthepatriarch.blogspot.com/2012/09/sweetest-wood-and-sweetest-iron.html
When the Patriarch was returning. Friday, 14 September 2012. Sweetest Wood and sweetest iron, sweetest weight is hung on thee! Today, along with the feast of the Presentation, is perhaps one of my favourite feasts. It is perhaps one of the richest in theology, symbolism and devotion, as the texts, especially of the office, prove. Why does this feast occur on this day? Thou alone wast counted worthy,. This world's ransom to uphold;. For a shipwrecked race preparing. Harbour, like the Ark of old;. Actually...

When the Patriarch was returning: What is Truth?
http://whenthepatriarch.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-is-truth.html
When the Patriarch was returning. Tuesday, 25 January 2011. By popular acclaim, I have decided to write another post. It has been quite a while. I might go a bit Patristic on this. It was something that had been occupying my thoughts for a while: seemingly that every successive generation of government has played Pilate (and I can't help feeling, especially in the last 100 years) and stood before the Church to ask her “What is Truth?

When the Patriarch was returning: January 2011
http://whenthepatriarch.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
When the Patriarch was returning. Wednesday, 26 January 2011. I must confess, I am slightly puzzled as to where “Anglican” Patrimony begins (I think Fr. “Patrimony” Hunwicke and I are in agreement on that, which is re-assuring); and is it Anglican Patrimony which I am most interested in, or rather Anglo-Catholic Patrimony? Where does one begin and the other end? Alright, what do I think of as Anglican Patrimony? The English Hymnal (I was reared on it). Cassocks with 39 buttons and 5 pleats. I must confes...

When the Patriarch was returning: Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother!
http://whenthepatriarch.blogspot.com/2012/09/blessed-be-name-of-mary-virgin-and.html
When the Patriarch was returning. Wednesday, 12 September 2012. Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother! By way of an effort to get back into blogging, after another very long absence, may I offer a litany and a ditty. I profess authorship of neither; the litany is of the Holy Name of Mary (it is her feast today) and comes from Bl. John Newman's book. Whereas the ditty is of slightly more dubious origin. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Christ, hear us. Son of Mary, hear us.
