  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The post-conciliar revisers, in their first draft of hymns for the new Office Book, proposed the following 16th(?) century hymn, present in the Benedictine Breviary, which goes to the tune of Ave maris Stella.

I think it didn't make it through to the cut in the Liturgia Horarum because they decided they needed a more 'Joachim' hymn to counterbalance all those 'Anna' hymns which the Tradition offers.

Gaude, mater Anna,

gaude mater sancta,

cum sis Dei facta

genetrix avia.

Plaude tali natae

virgini Mariae;

eius genitore

Ioachim congaude.

In hac nostra terra

primo benedicta,

quae fuit in Eva

quondam maledicta.

Ergo sume laudes

quas damus ovantes;

nos ab omni sorde

tua prece terge.

Sit laus Deo Patri,

summo Christo decus,

Spiritui Sancto

honor, tribus unus.
