No idea whatsoever why I should be reading Gibson's essay on this Day. Just thought I would as you've linked it. But the link to the essay doesn't work. Just as well. I'll go read a Good Friday sermon by Gore. Excellent little Dante posts. Thank you Joseph.

The link is fixed. Maybe it was Providence. At any rate, I thought it would be an interesting example of how contemporary Dante really is. You know, show the kids that all that old stuff is really very applicable today.

Yes, there are more, err, edifying things to read on Good Friday. We could start with the opening lines from this homily: from
CERTAIN SERMONS OR HOMILIES APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES IN THE TIME OF QUEEN ELIZABETH
OF FAMOUS MEMORY

"There is nothing that the Holy Ghost doth so much labour, in all the Scriptures, to beat into men's heads, as repentance, amendment of life, and speedy returning unto the Lord God of Hosts. And no marvel why; for we do daily and hourly, by our wickedness and stubborn disobedience, horribly fall away from God, thereby purchasing unto ourselves -- if he should deal with us according to his justice -- eternal damnation."

Joseph, what an interesting post. Gibson's essay gripped me, you've fleshed it out. Thank you.

Have a blessed Easter.
