Something like "I don't always post blog comments, but when I do, they end in the <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/05/08/dies_irae_in_movies_tom_allen_and_the_cbc_trace_the_history_of_the_latin.html" rel="nofollow">Day of Wrath [Dies Irae]"</a>Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465986004909879083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576348122642600522.post-72547231380940686302014-11-05T14:58:33.424-08:002014-11-05T14:58:33.424-08:00Triple play, Matt.

(Except that you should warn people about that last link--it's powerful stuff and known to have strange effects on strange people.)<br /><br />In honor of the O.P.'s Nov 7th feast, I'll post my favorite bit from the Dominican Little Office--the prayer to all the Saints of the Dominican Order as said at Lauds. (Don't ever say I never post English translations).<br /><br />Antiphon. O what happiness and glory belong always to the saints, how distinguished the merits of the Preachers, by whose words and deeds the world is adorned, by whose works the mind grows stronger. [O quam felix gloria semper est Sanctorum, quam præclara merita sunt Prædicatorum, quorum verbo et opere mundus decoratur, eorumque munere mens consolidatur! Yes, the Latin version has an exclamation point that is not in the printed English translation. And, yes, the mundus decoratur...mens consolidatur is rhetorically wonderful.]<br />V. The saints shall be joyful in glory.<br />R. They shall sing for joy on their couches.<br />Let us pray<br />Grant we beseech You, Almighty God, that the examples of the saints of our Order may incite us to a better life; that we may imitate the deed of them whose memory we celebrate. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.<br /><br />And I did not know that about the Franciscan feast of Franciscan saints. I have a brother/godson with a Nov 29th birthday. I had a passing thought just now that he might have chosen St. Francis as his confirmation saint a couple of years ago, but I just called and was reminded it's Peter. Ah, well--missed opportunity. Blame his godmother.TMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235887730874692726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576348122642600522.post-82528139510707188762014-11-05T12:54:07.516-08:002014-11-05T12:54:07.516-08:00I'd like to point out a few similar feasts in ...I'd like to point out a few similar feasts in which people may be interested. <br /><br />On November 7, Dominicans celebrate the Feast of <a href="http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/day-all-saints-dominican-order" rel="nofollow">All Dominican Saints</a> (don't ever say that I never link to NCR), and on November 8, Dominicans commemorate <a href="http://godzdogz.op.org/2010/11/praying-for-our-deceased-brethren.html" rel="nofollow">all the deceased of their order</a>. <br /><br />Similarly, on November 29, Franciscans celebrate the Feast of <a href="http://stevenwood.com/reflections/franciscan/1129-35.htm" rel="nofollow">All Franciscan Saints</a> (don't ever say that I never link to anything Franciscan).
