Here are some links to beauatiful basilicas, (LOURDES FATIMA GUADALUPE PIO'S CHURCH BROTHER ANDRE'S CHURCH, and we can put more here, like Acutis did and why not) which satisfy our need for beauty just as these Libretti della Liturgia do.If we don't get beauty from cathedrals and castles and beautiful books and bugattis, our hearts will become bummed. LOL
It's just the way we are made.
MATILDA"S MASS MANUSCRIPT
If the story of Jesus seems like a fairy tale take the Tolkien class---we all need to recover our ability to believe in things we can't see.Anyone who want to know more about Jesus, the Mass is free and you dont have to read anything, just listen to it.
that said, As we know, many of the elaborately illustrated books of hours are now works of art, such as Lindisfarne and Kells.
The valangaverse created when the crist figure Montagna blew himself up (yes, his last name was montagna but he was not scarface, he was against that) inspires this liturgia.
its also interesting that papal preacher raniero who was inspired by Ha rua (read about it on the rete) has the last name "canta la messa, he sings the mass.
Today's readings are from the prophet Zacarias, about God being a wall of fire and an angelic surveyor, who is told that Jerusalem is way too big for that, the column of fire will expand more than a castle wall ever could..>TODAY IN JERSUALEM sing the haze angels, the psalm is from Jeremia, their life shall be like a watered garden, they shall sing upon the heights, they shall languish no more..and since you all are reading this stuff you might as well LET IT SINK INTO YOUR EARS lol and an abundance of grain, while jesus says LET THESE WORDS SINK INTO YOUR EARS. its too much for mere mortals anyways so let Pier Giorgio explain it.
FROM THE LETTERS OF JAMES
1Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. 4Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you.

This weekeend Nove 13/14, we honor Mother Cabrini and we honor Jemorys memory (hi jemmy lol) as we honor Mother Cabrini, made famous by a movie mobster who reputedly retorted "who do you think I am, Mother Cabrini?" to a question regarding his moral rectitude.
As Sneedlaw said however, any publicity is good, so I guess Cabrini could be praised by paesans and its perfectly appropriate.
This funny story is reminiscent of a storyonce told about Angelo Giuseppe, when A nun said "im the superior of the Holy Spirit he answered I'm only the vicar of Christ.
Todays gospel we find this: First Reading WISDOM 18:14-16; 19:6-9 18 14For while gentle silence enveloped all things, and night in its swift course was now half gone, 15thy all-powerful word leaped from heaven, from the royal throne, into the midst of the land that was doomed, a stern warrior 16carrying the sharp sword of thy authentic command, and stood and filled all things with death, and touched heaven while standing on the earth. 19 6For the whole creation in its nature was fashioned anew, complying with thy commands, that thy children might be kept unharmed. 7The cloud was seen overshadowing the camp, and dry land emerging where water had stood before, an unhindered way out of the Red Sea, and a grassy plain out of the raging waves, 8where those protected by thy hand passed through as one nation, after gazing on marvelous wonders. 9For they ranged like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who didst deliver them. Responsorial Psalm PSALMS 105:2-3, 36-37, 42-43 2Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works! 3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! 36He smote all the first-born in their land, the first issue of all their strength. 37Then he led forth Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled. 42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 43So he led forth his people with joy, his chosen ones with singing. Gospel LUKE 18:1-8 1And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man; 3and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, `Vindicate me against my adversary.' 4For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, `Though I neither fear God nor regard man, 5yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'" 6And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
