Traditional † Catholicism

So our Mass goes back, without essential change, to the age when it first developed out of the oldest liturgy of all. It is still redolent of that liturgy, of the days when Cæsar ruled the world and thought he could stamp out the faith of Christ, when our fathers met together before dawn and sang a hymn to Christ as to a God. The final result of our enquiry is that, in spite of unsolved problems, in spite of later changes, there is not in Christendom another rite so venerable as ours. ~Fortescue

Quite a spectacular Habit, isn't it?

Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately, I have found many other captions that have not been correct in the Google Life Magazine photos archives.

And yes, not that you mention it, I can see the two Hearts on the habit of the nun.

Thank you!; March 29, 2009 at 11:42 PM

Anonymous said...: The image captioned as Nuns Praying The Office is actually of Nuns in the Chapter Room. They have no Office books and the book open on the lectern appears to be the Martyrology.; February 20, 2012 at 9:07 PM
