Symphony No. 6 (Schubert) Sinfonía nº 6 en Do Mayor D589 de Franz Schubert, Orquesta Sinfónica de RTVE, Carlos Kalmar, director, Teatro Monumental de Madrid The Symphony No. 6 in C major, D. 589, is a symphony by Franz Schubert composed between October 1817 and February 1818. Its first public performance was in Vienna in 1828. It is nicknamed the "Little C major" to distinguish it from his later Ninth Symphony, also in C major, which is known as "the Great." There are four movements: Adagio, 3/4 - Allegro, 2/2 Andante, 2/4 in F major Scherzo: Presto; Trio: Piu lento (Trio in E major), 3/4 Allegro moderato, 2/4 La Sexta Sinfonía en Do mayor D. 589 de Franz Schubert fue escrita entre octubre de 1817 (fecha que figura a la cabeza del manuscrito) y febrero de 1818. Es conocida como la pequeña do mayor, para diferenciarla de la Gran Sinfonía en do mayor (D. 944) del mismo compositor. Esta sinfonía es una de las menos conocidas y menos reproducidas de Schubert. Su escritura se vio muy …更に表示

«L’Église a abimé la liturgie de la messe. Elle est trop bruyante ! C’est comme si on se célébrait nous-même. C’est devenu un moment convivial, alors que nous sommes là pour adorer Dieu, il faut une liturgie qui adore Dieu. On ne parle plus du salut et de l’âme !», se désole le cardinal Robert Sarah dans Le Club Le Figaro
Matthew 12:40 40 For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights Wednesday Crucifixion View: Advocates argue for a Wednesday death to allow 72 hours (three full days and nights) before a Saturday night or early Sunday morning resurrection. This interpretation relies on counting three separate nights (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) before Sunday dawn. Thursday Crucifixion View: This interpretation allows for the full three nights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) to pass before a Sunday morning resurrection, aligning with the "three days and three nights" phrasing literally. Supporting Context (Two Sabbaths): Some proponents suggest there were two Sabbaths that week—the high day Sabbath (Passover) on Thursday, and the weekly Sabbath on Saturday—allowing for a Thursday burial, Friday spice prep, and Saturday rest Note: The traditional Friday crucifixion relies on Jewish, idioms where partial days …更に表示
Byzantine Catholic Liturgical Holy Week traditions Good Friday: A strict fast day centered on the Vespers of Good Friday and the procession with the Holy Shroud (Plashchanytsia). Holy Saturday: Focuses on Christ’s descent into Hades, often featuring a morning service that anticipates the Resurrection, including the reading of the Bible's "song of Moses" and resurrectional hymns. Pascha (Easter): The celebration begins with the Resurrection Matins/Vespers and Divine Liturgy, often early Sunday morning or late Saturday night, followed by the blessing of Easter foods.
When Miriam Lancaster went to the hospital for severe back pain, she was stunned to be offered euthanasia instead of real care. In this conversation, she shares how that moment exposed a terrifying shift in our culture: suffering patients are being treated as problems to “solve,” not persons to love. She says, her husband had also been offered assisted su*cide a few years earlier as well. From a Catholic perspective, Miriam’s story is a stark reminder that every life—especially when it’s fragile, disabled, or in pain—is precious, unrepeatable, and entrusted to us by God, not the state or the medical system. Her witness challenges us to build a society that offers compassion, accompaniment, and authentic palliative care, never a lethal injection disguised as “dignity.”
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Mar 26, 2026 When is the last time you were at Mass—in an ordinary parish, not a monastery or retreat center—for a regularly scheduled parish Mass, not connected with any special event—and noticed that the congregation was predominantly male? I don’t think it had ever happened to me before last night. Whenever I see another seminar devoted to “Women in the Church,” I cannot resist making the prosaic observation that the discussion is unlikely to break any new ground. Open the door to a typical American Catholic church, and what do you see? Women in the church. Attend a meeting of the altar guild, the religious-education teachers, the parish secretaries, the extraordinary ministers. Time and again the women outnumber the men. But not at this church, where we attended Mass for the feast of the Annunciation because we are traveling. There were more men and boys than women and girls; if you counted the altar boys it wasn’t close. Moreover …
Apr 3 Good Friday: the largest Cricifix in the world and the Canadian connection The "Cross in the Woods" is the "Catholic Shrine ... located in Indian River, Michigan. The Shrine is home to the largest crucifix in the world." About the shrine: The sculpture of the crucified Christ was titled 'The Man on the Cross' by the renowned Michigan sculptor Marshall Fredericks. It is made of bronze 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick. It weighs seven tons, is twenty-eight feet tall from head to toe, and the outstretched arms span twenty-one feet. The figure of Christ is attached by thirteen bolts 30″ long and 2″ thick that were made when the figure was cast in Norway. Fredericks wanted to portray Christ in a peaceful way. It was his dream to 'give the face an expression of great peace and strength and offer encouragement to everyone who viewed the Cross'. Apr 2 "You are clean, but not all of you" This is a very thoughtful homily given by Pope Benedict XVI for the Mass of the Lord's Supper. It was delivered at …
