That confessio is incredible. Saints Phillip and James, ora pro nobis

[@joandoe8591]

Absolutely wonderous! I just read St. John Chrysostom's homily on the Ascension and what humbling meditations he affords. Thank you.

Watching from Ireland very interesting ❤

Breathtaking!

The approach you’ve taken in this video for this oft visited station was absolutely brilliant. I sat absolutely mesmerized watching the paintings while listening to the quoted text. The music was also an absolutely perfect fit. You’ve outdone yourself yet again! 🙏🏻🥰

Thank you Jacob for putting this series together! Very beautiful and very rich in information! I was just curious, what's the music playing in the background of the video? I seem to enjoy the ambience and meditative nature of the music. God Bless you and your work!

[@berniegutschewski651]

Great video with wonderful commentary!

[@cruxstationalis]

Thanks! It's a beautiful place to pray!

Baccio pontelli also built the Sistine chapel. He was a top military architect during what is sometimes called the Military revolution.

Jean Daniélou. Angels and their mission. 1957 Based on the Fathers of the church. Good book suggestion. 118 pages and only $ 16 online.

Thank you for highlighting Merlozzo da Forli. His angels are simply divine. Michaelangelo understood his genius. So sad that they were removed from Santi Apostoli.

Oops..... correction : Melozzo da Forli

[@cruxstationalis]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Glorious meditation. Blessed be Jesus in His Incarnation and Ascension. Never heard before St Michaels triumph due to Jesus Passion. (Fits with Jesus Exaltation applying to all creation. No contest between Creator and creatures. Jesus exorcises fallen creation so humanity can be delivered from evil. Gave that authority to apostles).

[@pauladean1301]

Jacob, so blessed by this pilgrim journey …is the book on angels by Jean Danilou? Thank you so much.

[@cruxstationalis]

Yes that’s the book

[@pauladean1301]

Thank you for your most kind reply….will there be a special journey after Easter to Pentecost?

[@cruxstationalis]

@@pauladean1301 yes, I need to explore St Peter’s is greater depth. And also other churches in the city beyond the station churches

[@pauladean1301]

@@cruxstationalis So Jacob that is such a wonderful idea to do St. Peter's in greater detail....So for a pilgrim journey in Ordinary Time...would that look like going to churches outside of Rome "proper?" in Italy of course.

[@cruxstationalis]

@@pauladean1301 no, there are about 1,000 churches in Rome. So it would be exploring the other churches in Rome. For the Station Churches throughout the year, we explore 43 churches, which are some of the most ancients churches in the city.
