inundado por um mistério de luz que é Deus e N´Ele vi e ouvi -A ponta da lança como chama que se desprende, toca o eixo da terra, – Ela estremece: montanhas, cidades, vilas e aldeias com os seus moradores são sepultados. - O mar, os rios e as nuvens saem dos seus limites, transbordam, inundam e arrastam consigo num redemoinho, moradias e gente em número que não se pode contar , é a purificação do mundo pelo pecado em que se mergulha. - O ódio, a ambição provocam a guerra destruidora! - Depois senti no palpitar acelerado do coração e no meu espírito o eco duma voz suave que dizia: – No tempo, uma só Fé, um só Batismo, uma só Igreja, Santa, Católica, Apostólica: - Na eternidade, o Céu! Cardinal Pell in Oxford

The Oxford University Newman Society has been the proud hosts to their principal patron, His Eminence George Cardinal Pell, on the occasion of his visit to his Alma Mater, to inaugurate the Society's annual Thomas More lectures, and launch their fund-raising appeal. Three public events marked this historic occasion, and both forms of the liturgy of the Roman rite were in evidence.

A Glorious Weekend on a Few Fronts at Thomas Aquinas College
We have been treated to some particularly fine examples of new church architecture in the past couple of years and this past weekend was no exception as the glorious new chapel of Thomas Aquinas College, Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, was consecrated. It is a glorious structure indeed and, I am particularly pleased to report, includes a number of stunning architectural features, including a ciborium magnum.(Finishing touches were still being put in place when this photo was taken)
