Epistle: Galatians 5:16-24 Gospel: Matthew 6:24-33 Collect: Guard Thy Church, we beseech Thee, O Lord, with Thy continual kindness; and, because without Thee human frailty falleth, let it, by Thine assistance, ever be both withheld from harm and guided to what is salutary. Sometimes I am weighed down with regret over how I have squandered the time, means,…
They called him princeps musicorum, prince of musicians, and 500 years ago tomorrow, on August 27, 1521, he passed away in Condé-sur-l’Escaut, nowadays Northern France, where the last seventeen years of his life he was provost of the collegiate of Notre Dame, destroyed in 1793 during “the frightening revolution unleashed in France” (Pius X, Duplicem…
Dear OnePeterFive donors, supporters and readers, As Eric Sammons announced a few weeks ago, OnePeterFive has been acquired by Crisis Publications and we intend to continue the mission of rebuilding Catholic culture and restoring Catholic tradition.
