Saint Joseph + Baby Jesus In A Walker

Jeff Ostrowski · March 19, 2021

NE OF THE MOST luscious, ornate, beautiful manuscripts ever produced is referred to as: The Hours of Catherine of Cleves. We have posted images from it in the past, but never had an opportunity to dedicate an entire article to this marvelous book until today. Below you will find a few sample images.

The Holy Family At Work:

Worthy And Unworthy Communion:

Mass Observed by Moses and Saint Paul:

Mary & Christ Intercede for Catherine of Cleves
+ Our Lady And Child In A Grape Arbor

Infant Christ Sent To Earth:

Christ Before Caiaphas
Christ Mocked

FOR THE RECORD:
The Jesuit Martyrs of North America had a deep devotion to Saint Joseph.

    Weeping For Joy! (We Hope!)
    Listening to this Easter Alleluia—an SATB arrangement I made twenty years ago based on the work of Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel—one of our readers left this comment: “I get tears in my eyes each time I sing to this hymn.” I hope this person is weeping for joy!

Random Quote

It was thought important that the song should actually accompany the distribution of Communion. A Carolingian explanation of the Mass remarks that during the Communion “soft melody should touch the ear [of the faithful] so that hearing this sound they would busy themselves less with distracting thoughts and … their hearts would be moved to humble love for that which they receive.”

— Father Josef Andreas Jungmann
