6/29/2023 0 Comments Cardinal burke![]() Certainly the question of liturgy and ecclesiology is an important one and has been discussed quite a bit in recent years.ĬWR: Another well-known cardinal, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, will be presenting as well. But we shall have to wait and see what he says. I cannot imagine that he would speak of our encounter with Almighty God without reflecting on the necessity of a fruitful silence and receptivity on the part of the Church and of each of us as we contemplate God’s saving action in the liturgy. In truth, there is so much to taste that we recommend that where possible delegates spend some days doing so also before and after the conference.ĬWR: Robert Cardinal Sarah is once again a presenter what will he be speaking on? Will his talk touch on the some of the matters he discusses in his new book, The Power of Silence?ĭom Alcuin Reid: His Eminence is speaking on “The Sacred Liturgy-Our Encounter With God: A Christological and Ecclesiological Perspective”. We would also recommend taking time to visit the monastery of Saint Maurizo-sometimes known as “Milan’s Sistine Chapel”-located very close to the Catholic University, where the conference will be held. We are organising visits to the splendid Ambrosian library founded by Cardinal Frederico Borromeo as well as tours of the Duomo. However we are conscious that our conference delegates will need some time for that also and we have left one afternoon of the conference free for cultural visits. ![]() The Archpriest of the Duomo, who has also been very welcoming, will celebrate Vespers for us.ĬWR: What will the Milan conference offer culturally?ĭom Alcuin Reid: Simply spending some days in Milan one cannot but imbibe its culture. His Eminence, Cardinal Scola, has facilitated our use of the beautiful church of St Alessandro for our celebration of Holy Mass in the ancient Ambrosian rite, and the conference will conclude in the Metropolitan Cathedral with Solemn Vespers, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and a statio at the altar of Blessed Ildephonse Schuster, the famous liturgist and Archbishop of Milan from 1929-1954. ![]() So too, one of the conference Masses will be celebrated there in the modern Ambrosian rite by its Bishop-Abbot, Bishop DeScalzi, who has been very welcoming to us. The opening Solemn Vespers will be celebrated in the historic Basilica of Saint Ambrose His Eminence, Cardinal Tettamanzi, has kindly agreed to celebrate for us. Milan has so much to offer culturally and liturgically-in particular its own venerable liturgical rite (the “Ambrosian rite”)-that those attending will, we are sure, come away profoundly enriched.ĬWR: So Sacra Liturgia Milan will feature the Ambrosian rite liturgy?ĭom Alcuin Reid: Yes, as at all our conferences the celebration of the liturgy is at the heart of what we do and because we shall be in Milan those celebrations, naturally, will be in the Ambrosian rite. ![]() ![]() We wanted to come to Milan so as to draw from its rich liturgical and cultural heritage and so as to give our delegates not simply the opportunity to spend four days praying and studying the liturgy together with others from around the world, but also the opportunity to experience something of the life of the ancient Church of Milan, of Saint Ambrose, of Saint Charles Borromeo, of Blessed Ildephonse Schuster, etc.Īnd from the outset the Archbishop of Milan, His Eminence, Cardinal Scola, and his officials, as well as those of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, have been gracious and warm in their welcome and support. Dom Alcuin Reid: Yes, this is our second conference in Italy-the first was the inaugural conference in Rome in 2013-but our first conference in Milan. ![]()
