In a post from last year I found a St Cecilia's Punch by Elena Maria Vidal (for adults!), also a lovely painting by JW Waterhouse and musical suggestions by Kathryn:
Purcell - Ode for St. Cecilia's Day
Britten - Hymn to St. Cecilia
Herbert Howells - A Hymn for St. Cecilia

Today (November 11) is St. Martin of Tours Feast Day. I'm not aware of a picture book for him, but I've been compiling an index for my favorite Daniel Lord Miniature Stories of the Saints books (there are 4 small volumes with lovely illustrations and nice bios) and I remembered that there is a short little story included on St. Martin of Tours.
You can find it in Volume I. There are no page numbers  , but you can find him in the middle between St. Lawrence and St. Michael.
There is a lot of great information on him as well as ideas here at Catholic Culture.
Happy Feasting today everyone!

There is a good read aloud story in Saints and Heroes for Kids.

I'm linking here, the lovely resurrected thread on St Martinmas Day just so no links for this day get overlooked here in the November planning thread.
I also wanted to wish all you girls a wonderful Martinmas Day! It is now the 12th here in Australia but we had a lovely night despite the coughs in our family at present.
I've blogged about our night sharing two great reading books that write well on St Martin, also I will add the link here (even though I have it in my posting) to the ancient biography written by Sulpicius Severus, who knew St Martin, the complete book is online here.
I've also written about how the cloak of St Martin gave us the word 'chapel' and 'chaplains' and, 'a capella' which is singing/chanting unaccompanied.
What a beautiful saint, he is...

This isn't exactly a craft for the liturgical year, but I thought that others who still have wooden spoons from making Spoon Saints might be interested in this Thanksgiving turkey craft we did this week.

Here is a fantastic little link for St Margaret of Scotland ~ it sort of a slide picture show of her life with the most beautiful images, I think it is not to be missed if you are celebrating her life with the family.

Today is the feast of St. Albert the Great, patron of scientists, students, natural sciences, medical technicians, philosophers, and theology students. .
I have a tendency to just think "He was the teacher of St. Thomas Aquinas" but he is "Great" on his own accomplishments and sanctity. I was thinking of this thread "Nature Notebooks: should they be required" when I was reading his biography this morning from The Young People's Book of Saints by Hugh Ross Williamson.
This is the saint for nature study!!!! He studied and observed in great detail all of nature, Williamson says,
Quote:
But it was not, of course, Albert's learning that made him a saint. The reason he was interested in all natural things was because he saw in them a reflection of the wisdom of God, Who had made them. He had a passion for exact truth, because he was sure that all truth, of whatever nature, must lead to God, Who is Truth; and he was always very careful to distinguish between what he had actually seen for himself and what other people had told him. ...
...And, above all, this great scientist knew that there is such a thing as 'excessive' searching after knowledge--the kind of idle curiosity that just wants to know things for the sake of knowing them, or even for pride in discovering them, and not because that knowledge leads to God Who created everything. |

My son thinks we need to rename our Nature Study group after St. Albert.

Not sure if I should respond here or in the Nature Study thread, but in the Pope's most recent talk for the Year of Faith, he said that Practical Atheism Is More Destructive Than Disbelief As part of the remedy, he prescribes Nature Study
Quote:
In response to the ensuing moral and spiritual chaos, Pope Benedict called on all people to discover God by following three paths.
The first path involves contemplating creation. “The world is not a shapeless magma, but the more we know, the more we discover the amazing mechanisms, the more we see a pattern, we see that there is a creative intelligence,” the pontiff remarked. |
