Daily Rome Shot 1418

The tomb of St. Joseph Calasanz.

In the sacristy of The Parish™ in Rome there are four large paintings showing the activities of the members of the Archconfraternity of the Most Holy Trinity , especially with St. Philip Neri the founder.  In this detail you see well the habit of the archconfraternity for lay members (right) and priests (left) which is a portrait of St. Joseph Calasanz, Universal Patron of all Christian popular schools in the world.

In St. Louis, the Sinquefield Cup wraps up. Fabiano is is 1st followed by Prag and Wesley (tied with Levon in 3rd). Yesterday Wesley with black drew against Prag after getting a dicey position out of the opening.

This scene from a Book of Hours illuminated by Simon Bening appears to depict the Confiteor during a Levitated Mass in honor of the Virgin Mary. It is interesting to note that the deacon and subdeacon are kneeling.@kbrbe ms. II 158, fol. 137v
