But, if the white linen has the job of the shroud, well, when the Sacred Body of the Lord was lying in the tomb, the shroud was over the body. We needn't quibble about the Shroud of Turin which was over and under the Body, but it was over His Body. At Mass, the white linen is only Arthur H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04059584860129061678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-15852139986127813972021-08-25T01:05:07.763+01:002021-08-25T01:05:07.763+01:00From an English Greek & Latin professor of you...From an English Greek & Latin professor of your vintage. "I really don’t like the translation of officia as jobs. Not only is it too casual and pedestrian, but it misses the moral flavour of duty or obligation. Even ‘tasks’ would be a bit better. I don’t think any verbatim or word-for-word translation works. How about ‘stands in the place of...’?"

I struggled with Latin, mainly because as a schoolboy I was lazy and coudln't be bothered with all that "hic, haec, ho, amo, amas, amat" drudgery, though I managed a C grade in O level over 40 yeras ago. <br />Perhaps as a project for my retirement, which is coming ip in a number of years now in single figures, I could take up learning Latin again, and maybeGreyman 82https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472976732157444972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-31973668061134247042021-08-24T21:30:03.813+01:002021-08-24T21:30:03.813+01:00Thank you Fr, you've inspired me to take up my...Thank you Fr, you've inspired me to take up my Latin cross again.Stuart Rackhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663157501077502662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-78241118392811375032021-08-24T12:25:02.965+01:002021-08-24T12:25:02.965+01:00... whereas John XXII and Bishop Grandisson had th...... whereas John XXII and Bishop Grandisson had the benefit of the Angelic Doctor's meditation in Summa Theologiae IIIa, q 81, a 4, in which he says that the disciples would have received the dead body of the Lord if one of the apostles had celebrated the Eucharist while He lay buried in the tomb, but we after His resurrection receive His crucified and risen body.<br /><br />Remember also PMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144651697262763099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-26306293233778180602021-08-24T11:28:26.581+01:002021-08-24T11:28:26.581+01:00I am full of admiration for the brainy few who can...I am full of admiration for the brainy few who can master all the conjugations and declensions. But most of us do not have the time for this, even if we had the intellect. I suggest that using a bit of common sense, a few short-cuts, and some knowledge of modern languages, allows one to have a fair bash at following the TLM and reading the psalms in Latin. And a parallel text helps.<br />LearningRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824005176362146901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-83419123115443576752021-08-24T10:37:23.959+01:002021-08-24T10:37:23.959+01:00I thought it was only certain Caroline divines, an...I thought it was only certain Caroline divines, and later Nonjurors, who held the horrid doctrine that the Sacrament was the dead Body of Christ.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387698013828199070noreply@blogger.com
