gospel according to MILAN

H/T to Rorate Coeli Blog

The production of the new Evangeliarium was initiated last year by Cardinal Tettamanzi and the Archdiocese of Milan has a new website dedicated to this new Gospel Book and its art (with images even worse than the ones featured above. See, for instance, the illustration for the 'Mass of the Day' of Easter Sunday and the one for the Solemnity of Christ the King).

More images can be found in the Fides et Forma blog.

Milan

OF

the

World

The sun she's white

Man-moon a fella' frail -

In the caves of credo

We await the scale

To be tipped towards Truth

Spilling vinegar or wine -

Vinegar and gall

Or wine sanguine

We await his voice

Beneath eternal Rome -

To declare Truth not choice

In our deep catacomb

Keep all aboard

As our Captain Peter -

Upon this Rock

Don't let us teeter

Crash all the seas

Through wind and hail

Sink new gospel books like -

Milan's fairy-tale

The sun she's white

Man-moon a frail fella' -

But Truth stays the course

Towards Maria Stella!
