The lamb's supper: the mass as heaven on Earth
DB124296
Hahn, Scott. Reading time: 4 hours, 32 minutes.
Read by Scott Hahn.

Religion

"Bestselling author Scott Hahn sheds new light on the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals . Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb's Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before."--Amazon.com Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

I’m thrilled to see this book being made available on BARD.
It’s a great book. It will really deepen your appreciation for the Mass.

I would like help. Does anyone know R, and would they be willing to sit down with me for 30 minutes to just show me how this thing works better.

I do not understand Jupyter Lab/Notebook/Project/planet at all. I feel so much empathy for people who didn't understand OSC/OCF/OCI/OC now.

On this day, six years ago, David John Duncan, well-known to some, unknown to most, but wonderful author of science fiction and fantasy novels, passed away. I have read as much of Dave's stuff as I can get my hands on. He is an author that I'm very fond of. I enjoy his books and the stories he tells.

My introduction to Dave was the first book in his Seventh Sword series, which is called The Reluctant Swordsman. It's a portal fantasy novel. It was published in 1988, and it follows the mind of a gentleman called Wally Smith, who ends up in the body of a swordsman of the seventh rank, the mighty Shonsu, who was killed in his fantasy world, and Wally's mind brought across to re-inhabit the body by the world's goddess in an attempt to complete a mission for her. The subsequent two books in the series complete that arc, and it's a very satisfying trilogy of books. 24 years later, Dave published a fourth book in the series, showing the evolution of the characters after the main quest had completed, and it was a very satisfying way to meet Dave as an author.

spent some time today working on this diagram of how the ASCII control characters work in unix

there are a lot of mistakes/missing nuance but I think it's really interesting how little structure there is. Special codes (like `3` for SIGINT) that are handled by the OS are mixed with just regular keypresses (like `13` for "enter”) which are mixed with codes that are handled by the application (like `1` for Ctrl-A in readline)

(not looking for an ASCII history lesson right now)

#Catima 2.32.1 is out!

This fixes a regression in 2.32.0 which could break text display in the add dialog in non-English languages which I sadly missed in review: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

It also contains some translation updates that were submitted between the last release and just now.

Coming soon to an app store near you :)
