Liturgy and the sacraments
Worship
The prayer of the Church witnesses and fixes nothing. The rite is matter and form, word, law and time, and the whole person is in it.

Venite ad me 90–94, glossed
Venite ad me, nn. 90–94, on the liturgy in handing on the faith, given a skeleton. The texts that bind stand whole at the centre; the Considerations are reported in the margin as a gloss; a commentary marks what binds and what does not; and after each folio a short article, videtur quod, sed contra, respondeo, brings in the Council, Pius XII and the Code. Illuminated by rule, with gates, a telegraph, wheels that move by fifths, and nine plates.

The Rented Hour
There is a small glowing oblong in every pocket, and inside it is a grid of twenty-minute rectangles, given away to strangers. What the digital calendar has done to the season, the promise and the feast, and to the liberty, friendship and fallow ground of the man who owns it; and the one white rectangle worth defending.
