Easter

Gloria in excelsis II
Alleluia V. Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus
Victimae paschali laudes
Iubilate Deo
Agnus Dei XVII

These five Gregorian chants celebrate the central mystery of Easter: Christ’s Resurrection and victory over death. Among them is Victimae paschali laudes, the ancient Easter sequence proclaiming the risen Christ and inviting Christians to rejoice in the triumph of life over death.

In Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Ave Regina caelorum
Regina caeli
Salve Regina

These are the four traditional seasonal Marian antiphons of the Church. Their appearance together has particular meaning for the current ShrineTower Marian series: Alma Redemptoris Mater is featured in December, Ave Regina Caelorum in February and Regina Caeli in April.

The Cover Art

Jan Van Eyck, “The Adoration of the Lamb” 1432 from the Ghent Alterpiece. Detail: The red altar where the lamb stands reads, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world” and “Jesus the way, the truth, and the life”, both quotes from Gospel of John. In this image and in the book of Revelation the Lamb is Jesus. Directly around the Lamb on the altar are angels who are carrying the instruments in the Passion scenes, like the cross and crown of thorns.

Unknown's avatarThere's beauty in sacred spaces; from the stories they tell in architecture, stained glass windows and icons; to the rituals and liturgy that arises our soul. Inside a shrine, the angels and saints praise God with us. I hope to relay the message for the kingdom, power and glory of God, now and forever.
