Why Is He Getting Coverage in a Latin Periodical?
Anniversary of the Inauguration of Hagia Sophia
When Hagia Sophia was inaugurated, Justinian was so impressed and excited that after he thanked God he is said to have cried ‘’Glory to God who has deemed me worthy of accomplishing such a work! O Solomon! I have vanquished thee’’ implying the height of the dome. pic.twitter.com/33AHlS09VY

For the struggles you endured for Christ God, a royal diadem crowns your head, O First Champion of Martyrs. For you refuted the folly of the Jews and beheld your Savior on the right of the Father. Ever beseech Him, therefore, for our souls. pic.twitter.com/AnuMFJTDAx

Dear friends: I believe this is the single most beautiful piece of writing to come out of Pope Francis’ pontificate: It’s about the origins of Nativity scenes (invented by his regnal namesake) and why every Christian home should have one. https://t.co/7nJDU9bEoa

Sacred Art, Maybe, But Not Iconography
i love all Virgo Lactans iconography as it is a very Christmasy tradition, but these are my favorite bc they feature our lord horsing around, wiggling, fidgeting, & being otherwise uncooperative, which makes them very relatable from a mom standpoint pic.twitter.com/UYOHVj09js

What Sort of Latin Theology of Grace Is This?
Christmas, and the other Feast Days of the Church, participate in the power of the keys.
— Amigo de Frodo (@bpdflores) December 23, 2020
That is to say, the Church’s calendar binds on earth and in heaven in such a way that the grace of the event designated arrives by God’s will, and renews those who wait upon it.
