This week: The Feast of St. Teilo of Wales
Kontakion of St Teilo (Tone 1)
O teacher of pure doctrine, joy of monastics
and Dewi Sant’s fellow pilgrim to Jerusalem,
where thou wast elevated to the episcopate, most pious Father Teilo,
we keep festival in thy honour, praying for grace to follow in thy footsteps.
BOOKS AROUND MACHEN
The Holy Grail: Arthur Machen and The Inklings: Dale Nelson explores an old text and its admirers. This is the first in a series about the books on Arthur Machen’s reading list.
The Desire In Our Hearts for Colour: Sound, sturdy, practical common sense, I say it again; and yet, how many men who think themselves hard-headed would condemn these maxims as mere drivelling sentimentality. Yet man hungers and thirsts for colour and beauty just as truly as he hungers and thirsts for meat and drink. Lack of the latter means disaster to the body; lack of the former means disaster to the spirit.
