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! News from Dublin, Ireland
Father Gerard Deighan, who I had the pleasure to meet a couple of years ago in Oxford, sends in some wonderful photos from the Dublin Latin Mass Chaplaincy.
The photos show confirmations that were performed by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. The Solemn Mass was said by Fr. Deighan.
Fr. Deighan informs the NLM that this was the first time since the liturgical changes that the sacrament was conferred in the older form in Ireland by an acting bishop.

We have already reported on this particular Mass, but I thought this image with Bishop Peter J. Elliott was worth posting:
Some further images have come the NLM's way.
The first image comes from the pontifical Mass of Bishop Geoffrey Jarret, apparently a convert from Anglicanism and present Bishop of Lismore:
Secondly, Juventutem had Pontifical Vespers and Benediction celebrated with Cardinal Pell:
Solemn Vespers from Malta
One of our Maltese readers again wanted to share some images from the liturgy in Malta, this time, from yesterday, where solemn vespers was offered by bishop Emeritus Nicholas Cauchi in Gozo, Malta.
Sights from Merton College, Oxford
Below are some exclusive photos from Merton College, Oxford.
The High Altar in Merton College's medieval chapel is prepared for Solemn Mass. Incidentally, the altarpiece is 16th-century, of the school of Tintoretto, and the surround, c.1923 is by Sir Ninian Comper.
The Procession enters the Quire. Behind the Crucifer are the cantors of the Schola Sainte Cecile who once again sang the most sublime chant and fauxbourdon at the Solemn Mass. There are more photos on their blog too.
Prayers at the foot of the Altar, followed by the Confiteor:
The Altar is incensed:
Pontifical Vespers from Oxford
As promised, here are photo's from Pontifical Vespers for the feast of St Ignatius of Loyola. Bishop Malcolm McMahon OP pontificated at this beautiful and solemn liturgy.
The Altar prepared with cope and mitres for the bishop to vest after he arrives in the chapel of Merton College, Oxford.
The bishop and clergy entered in procession.
The bishop paused for prayers before being vested.
Watched by the MC, Dr Alcuin Reid and assisted by Fr Tim Finigan and Rev Dr Laurence Hemming, the bishop was vested in pontificals over his rochet.
At this point, with the bishop seated in splendour on the faldstool, the organ sounded an organ voluntary and we paused to pray before the clock struck six to signal the appointed time of Vespers.
The bishop sings Vespers, seated at the faldstool.
Fr Tim Finigan and Deacon Laurence Hemming seated during Vespers, with the cantors behind them. The psalms were intoned by the bishop and 4 prelates in choir.

Incensing the High Altar during the Canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The bishop, the prelates in choir and the clergy and then the laity were all incensed.
The bishop had been vested in the gold mitre but during the Gospel canticle, he had changed into the precious mitre. Here, he is seated before the Collect.
The bishop imparted the blessing from the High Altar.
