• Michaelmas. Deus, qui miro ordine angelorum ministeria hominumque dispensas: concede propitius, ut a quibus tibi ministrantibus in cœlo semper assistitur, ab his in terra vita nostra muniatur. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculorum. Amen. From the Lauds hymn: Angelus pacis, Michael in ædes, cœlitus nostras veniat serenæ, auctor ut pacis lacrimosa in orcum bella releget. From the offertorium at the requiem: sed signifer sanctus Michael repræsentet eas in lucum sanctam. From Newman. And a well-known devotional prayer.
• St Euphemia.
• Arturo defends religious ‘snobbery’. Not real snobbery (‘this is better and I know it so I’m better than you’) or hypocrisy of course but common sense that some things are better than others and not pretending otherwise.
• Whither goeth R²?
• More ordinariate and society stuff. Don’t miss Fr H.
