Podcast Homily – Morning Prayer – Trinity Sunday

My Podcast Homily for Morning Prayer on Trinity Sunday in our new Psalter Series is now online. The Psalm reading is Psalm 150, the final Psalm in Book Five and the last of six doxologies which close the Book of Psalms. The illustration is an edited version of the illumination for Psalm 150 formatted in 100 dpi for ease of downloading. The title is All Creations Praises Three. The artists include many musical instruments of the 9th C. The range of colors is unlike anything ever seen before and unlikely to be repeated in the 21st C. There are blues, reds and yellows not seen again until the late 19th C. . Readers will want to know that, as far as I know, there is only one surviving copy of the book.

Illumination in colors and gold on parchment, Stuttgart Psalter, produced in the Abbey of Saint-German-des-Pres, Paris, circa 820 A.D. It is one of the finest examples of the Christian art of the Carolingian era under H.R.E. Charlemagne. Cod.Bibl.Fol.23, Folio 163v, Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek, Stuttgart, Germany.

In other news, work continues on Angels: the Book. As of 6/1/2023, the book has 141 illustrations from the early 3rd C. to the 20th C. I am currently working of the final two chapters. Many libraries in Europe, the United States and England have provided high-resolution images, most of which are not often seen. The final version likely will end up with about 150 images.

As always, thank you for your interest and support. Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
