St Cecilia Triduum June
4-6 June 2026 This month’s triduum begins on the traditional feast of Corpus Christi, the first Thursday after the end of paschaltide. It is also the month of the Sacred Heart, and there is a very close link between these two feasts. Indeed, when Our Lord asked St Margaret Mary to have a feast instituted […]
The Great Love Affair
Trinity Sunday Last night at First Vespers, we sang this antiphon: We give Thee thanks, O God; we give Thee thanks, true and one Trinity, one and most high Deity, holy and one Unity. So much to say that gratitude and thanksgiving are one of the major themes of this feast of the Most Holy […]
The Only Alien
Ascension Thursday Like many of our great feast days, the mystery of the Ascension offers multiple facets to our contemplation. First and foremost, it the Ascension that the One we love above all others, the very foundation and fulcrum of our existence, Jesus Christ Our Lord, is henceforth glorified at the right hand of the […]
Hide and Seek
Fifth Sunday after Easter Throughout paschaltide we have turned our attention to the apparitions of Our Blessed Lord following His Resurrection. On this last Sunday before the Ascension, I propose that we consider what is probably the best known of all the apparitions, namely to the disciples on route to Emmaus. As we shall see, […]
St Cecilia Triduum (30 April-2 May) 2026
May 2026 (30 April-2 May) May is the month of Mary, and so our triduum will focus on her importance in our lives. We will do so by focusing on the teachings St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, who taught so emphatically that Mary is the shortest, safest and most perfect path to the Heart […]
St Cecilia Triduum 2-4 April 2026
Any Christian will agree with the proposition: Jesus died for our sins. Things get a bit more complicated if we add: so that we can learn to die to ourselves. And yet, the first proposition gets us nowhere – nowhere at all – without the second. The death of Our Lord is not like a […]
St Cecilia Triduum March 2026
March 2026 (5-7 March) Our Blessed Lord revealed to St Gertrude that reading and meditating His Sacred Passion is far more useful and efficacious than all other spiritual exercises. Just as those who handle flour cannot avoid contracting some whiteness, so no one, however imperfect his devotion may be, can occupy his mind with the […]
St Cecilia Triduum February 2026
5-7 February 2026 With this month’s triduum we have entered into the pre-Lent period of preparation called Septuagesima. Our Holy Mother the Church, by means of this time, wants to prepare us for the many graces the Lord wishes to give us during Lent. The triduum is the perfect opportunity to start practicing our good […]
St Cecilia Triduum January 2026
1-3 January 2026 Providentially this year opens with a triduum of prayer. In this way we set the tone for each day of the year of grace we have before us, another year in our lives given to us by God to be used for His greater glory. We should live each year as if […]
