Beauty in Words and Art


I found the graphic to the left at Restored Traditions . It seems to be a very nice source for Catholic Art. Curious about the name I read more. This is part of what I found:

Restored Traditions is an online Catholic-art gallery specializing in the reproduction of Catholic-traditional art using the Giclee (gee-clay), professional printing process. All of our Catholic artwork is reproduced on only the finest, archival, acid-free materials.

We focus on a specific niche of Catholic artwork, Religious Art, Sacred & Theological art, and Catholic Gifts, which are not commonly carried in Catholic-art stores today. Find timeless, religious artwork from master painters like Bouguereau, Caravaggio, C. Bosseron Chambers and many more Catholic artists.


I also found an interesting web site where you can find the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin and English. Here is a part of the Mass I love reading in Latin.


Pater noster, qui es in cœlis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie; et dímitte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem.

R. Sed líbera nos a malo.


Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation.

R. But deliver us from evil.

The priest says, Amen. He takes the paten between his first and middle finger, and says:

p. 471

Líbera nos, quæsumus Dómine, ab ómnibus malis prætéritis, præséntibus, et futúris, et intercedénte beáta et gloriósa semper Vírgine Dei genitríce María, cum beátis Apóstolis tuis Petro et Paulo, atque Andréa, et ómnibus sanctis,


Deliver us, we beseech thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come; and by the intercession of the blessed and glorious, Mary ever virgin, Mother of God, together with thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and Andrew, and all the saints,

He makes the sign of the cross with the paten from his forehead to his breast and kisses it.

da propítius pacem in diébus nostris: ut ope misericórdiæ tuæ adjúti, et a peccáto simus semper líberi, et ab omni perturbatióne secúri.


mercifully grant peace in our days: that through the help of thy mercy we may always be free from sin, and safe from all trouble.

Wish I still had my first Missal. Had the Latin on one page and the English on the opposite page. Brings back fond memories. It was a right of passage in my family to get your own Missal. Good day to you! Cathy
