Pontifex University Press publishing another collection of essays by Fr. Vincent McNabb. This volume is called The Wayside: A Priest’s Gleanings. Mike Hennessey, a lover of the writings of McNabb wrote the foreword to the book. He discusses how this collection of early essays reveals his great charity and holiness. Mike is the chair of the Belloc Society and he gives us fascinating insights into the influence that McNabb had on Hilaire Belloc.
The essays we refer to specifically from the list below are: The Riches of Ritual, Jane Seedcombe Woolweaver, and An Innocent (which is about the alcoholic prisoner).

I’m with composer Paul Jernberg once again. Our starting point is the following excerpt from Musicam Sacram and the following statement:
Musicians will enter on this new work with the desire to continue that tradition which has furnished the Church, in her divine worship, with a truly abundant heritage. Let them examine the works of the past, their types and characteristics, but let them also pay careful attention to the new laws and requirements of the liturgy, so that "new forms may in some way grow organically from forms that already exist, and the new work will form a new part in the musical heritage of the Church, not unworthy of its past.
How does a composer balance the new with the traditional, proscribed forms with invention? Paul gives us his approach.

This is a march in which we meditate upon the spiritual meaning of marching
itself. It is exercise that is natural to us - walking - that is ordered to
our ultimate end. I see the 50 miles as a symbol of Pentecost, the 50-day
after Easter on which the Holy Spirit descended upon us. It is a call for
conversion and Christian chivalry. -
Paul Jernberg and I discuss in greater depth exactly what constitutes
sacred music and how this corresponds to what the Church has said on the
subject, particularly in the controversial encyclical, Musica Sacra (which
is often used to justify rock bands in church! ) -

Jim Woodward was temporarily sectioned in a mental ward in England when he
was 24 and diagnosed as psychotic. That was 24 years ago. Now, because of
the Vision for You process, he has transformed. He is a stable and happy
contributing member of society who has converted to Catholicism and sees
his faith as central to his life. He now runs his own business and lives in
Orange County, CA. -
A gulf-war veteran describes how the Vision for You process changed his
life: I urge you to watch or listen to this. My friend Peter Murphy was
sent to the first gulf war just a few weeks after his 17th birthday. When
he returned he was mentally ill for years, eventually being diagnosed with
PTSD. I am a stiff-upper-lip Brit, but a tear came to my eye when he
described the effect of his change had on his marriage and how it gave him
a family. God is good! -
This week, I am going to direct you to the first of a series of three talks that I have been invited to give for the Institute of Catholic Culture. In this one, I describe the story of how I met David Birtwistle at a cafe in the King’s Road in Chelsea, London in 1988. As a result of this contact, I asked him to take me through a series of spiritual exercises, even though I was a sour atheist. I describe how he sold me on taking this process. The result of this is that I became an artist, as I had always dreamed, and I became a Catholic (which is beyond anything I’d ever imagined for myself). The link is here. The Institute of Catholic Culture, Part 1. Scroll down to the bottom for the video, which is an hour long.
