Beautiful Photo Of Blessed Pope Paul VI

Jeff Ostrowski · October 19, 2015

On the first anniversary of his beatification, a wonderful Polish blog has posted this image of Pope Paul VI:

4194 Entrance Procession Coronation Paul VI

The photograph is from the entrance procession of the coronation of Pope Paul VI on 30 June 1963. Some time ago, we posted a color image which is similar.

Why Text Only?

Why do hymns in the Saint Jean de Brébeuf Hymnal give so many optional “text only” versions of the hymns? It’s easier to demonstrate than explain. Consider Hymn #24, which allows the director to choose a wonderful melody and easily apply it to the text. Hymnal editors knew about the value of “text only” versions for centuries, but this was gradually forgotten in Catholic books. In 2018, the Brébeuf Catholic Hymnal rediscovered what should never have disappeared in the first place!
