The light colored text below indicates the extra verses. Here's the start of it: Then I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

A Dream of an Abomination of Desolation ALL YOU'LL HEAR ARE CASTANETS - April 30, 2013 ... but I stayed, even though I was very disappointed. The communion service turned into a faux mass that was complete chaos. The two women who were presiding had dark purple vestments that were bedazzled with sequins. A man came up to the altar, dressed in regular clothes and he joined in by yelling and shaking his cane at the congregation, "Women are the heart of the Church!" Other people came up near the altar to use it as a bully pulpit, shouting their preferences in general ...http://dormitantius.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-dream-of-abomination-of-desolation.html
Stain CATHOLIC SENSIBILITY - April 11, 2013 ... building: Brothers and sisters in Christ, we begin this service of penance by turning to God our Father and asking him for the spirit of true repentance. We have failed to remember his goodness, we have refused to obey his commands, we have dishonoured his name. We must take care never to allow sin to defile the Church of God, which is the dwelling place of God on earth, and the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is one of those "these or similar words" passages. It is likely our ...http://catholicsensibility.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/stain/

The cantors finish the Litany, after which the bishop blesses holy water with the same blessing found in the Rituale. Standing before the cross, he intones the antiphon, "Thou shalt sprinkle me, o Lord, with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow." The choir continues it, and then sings Psalm 50 Miserere , from which it is taken, with Gloria Patri at the end, and repeats the antiphon.

Active Participation and Singing ROMA LOCUTA EST - April 8, 2013 The tagline for the liberal rendition of Sacrosanctum Concilium is "active participation." At the service of this one principle people will outright ignore much of what the Vatican II constitution calls for (primacy of Latin, pride of place for Gregorian Chant, etc.). The irony, as has been pointed out not only in these pages but throughout the new liturgical movement, is that the very translation of this phrase is ... well ... a mistranslation. While the English rendering ...http://causafinitaest.blogspot.com/2013/04/active-participation-and-singing.html

Can't You Trust Him? CREO EN DIOS! - March 8, 2013 This week I attended a beautiful parish penitential service at St. Thomas Apostle church in Minneapolis. I was deeply moved by both the penitential litany that aided in an examination of conscience and the healing laying on of hands that was a central part of the service. The opening song for the service is one we've sung at St. Thomas Apostle during Wednesday evening prayer services during Lent, ...http://susanjoan.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/cant-you-trust-him/

Let each one, however, suggest to his Abbot what it is that he wants to offer, and let it be done with his blessing and approval. For anything done without the permission of the spiritual father will be imputed to presumption and vainglory and will merit no reward. Therefore let everything be done with the Abbot's approval. A few things that strike me about this: The moderation. Yes, it calls on the monks to "keep their lives most pure" and to ...http://disputations.blogspot.com/2013/02/p40x-doctors-orders.html

In the 1595 version, the water is blessed at this point with the regular blessing found in the Rituale , and commonly used for the Asperges and the holy water kept in fonts near the door. Later, another much more complicated blessing of water is done, in which wine and ashes are also blessed and mixed with water, in addition to the usual salt; this is commonly referred to as "Gregorian water", and is used inside the church for the sprinkling of the walls and the altar.

St. Corbinian's Bear Goes Home THE CURT JESTER - February 11, 2013 ... Blessed John Paul II who is arguably the greatest philosopher to be Pope followed by Pope Benedict XVI arguably the greatest theologian to be Pope will certainly be a tough act to follow. That is if the papacy was an "act" or a historical competition against previous claimants. It is hard to believe that when Easter does come that it is almost assured that it will be with a new Pope.
