Saint Gertrude, called "The Great", was a Cistercian, and a Spiritual daughter both of Saint Bernard and Saint Benedict. Her life was almost entirely spent in the Cloister, which she entered as an Oblate in 1261, at the age of five.

On 27 January 1281, Gertrude being then just over twenty-five, the Spouse of her Soul revealed Himself to her in a wonderful manner. He consoled her in a trial which tormented her, and favoured her with remarkable visions during the following eight years.

At God's command, she related them in a book, entitled "Revelations of Saint Gertrude".

Gertrude, holding in her hand her lighted lamp, awaited the coming of her Spouse. "She died," says The Roman Breviary, "in 1334, consumed rather by the ardour of her love than by disease."

She was proclaimed Patroness of The West Indies, and in New Mexico a town was built in her honour and still bears her name.

Born in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany, circa 1200, Albert, even as a child, loved The Blessed Virgin in a special manner. He resolved to enter The Order of Saint Dominic, but, tempted by the devil, he gave up the idea.

Ultimately, however, at the earnest entreaty, and through the ardent Prayers, of Blessed Jourdan of Saxony, he resolved definitely to enter The Order of Saint Dominic. He studied Philosophy at Cologne, then at Paris, where he became one of the most renowned Professors of the University.

Saint Thomas Aquinas was one of his students. He was made Bishop of Ratisbon (Regensburg) by Pope Urban IV and defended The Church against the errors of Guillaume de Saint-Amour and died at Cologne in 1280.

He was Canonised and proclaimed Doctor of The Church in 1931.

Albertus Magnus, O.P. (circa 1200 – 15 November 1280), also known as Albert the Great, and Albert of Cologne, is a Catholic Saint. He was a German Dominican Friar and a Catholic Bishop. He was known during his lifetime as "Doctor Universalis" and "Doctor Expertus", and, late in his life, the term "Magnus" (Great) was appended to his name.

Scholars, such as James A. Weisheipl and Joachim R. Söder, have referred to him as the greatest German Philosopher and Theologian of The Middle Ages. The Catholic Church honours him as a Doctor of The Church, one of only thirty-six persons so honoured.

Three Week-End-Return Tickets, Please, On The Super Chief, From Accrington To San Bernardino.

The Super Chief was one of the named Passenger Trains and the Flagship of The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It claimed to be "The Train of the Stars", because of the celebrities it carried between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California.

The Super Chief (Nos. 17 and 18) was the first Diesel-powered, all-Pullman Sleeping Car Train

in America, and it eclipsed "The Chief" as Santa Fe's Standard Bearer. The extra-fare ($10)

Super Chief left Dearborn Station in Chicago for its first trip on 12 May 1936. Before starting scheduled service in May 1937, the lightweight version of The Super Chief ran 2,227 miles (3,584 km) from Los Angeles over recently-upgraded tracks in 36 hours and 49 minutes, averaging 60 mph (97 km/h) overall and reaching 100 mph (160 km/h).

With one set of equipment, the Train initially operated once a week from both Chicago

and Los Angeles. After more Cars had been delivered, The Super Chief ran twice weekly,

beginning in 1938, and daily, after 1948. Adding to the Train's mystique were its

gourmet meals and Hollywood clientele.

Competitors to The Super Chief were The City of Los Angeles, on The Chicago and North Western Railway and The Union Pacific Railroad, and (to a lesser extent) The Golden State, on The Rock Island and Southern Pacific. The Santa Fe Super Chief was one of the last Passenger Trains in The United States to carry an all-Pullman consist; only The Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited and The Illinois Central's Panama Limited survived longer. The Train maintained its high level of service until the end of Santa Fe Passenger Operations on 1 May 1971.

When Amtrak took over operation of the Nation's Passenger Service on 1 May 1971, the 35-year run of The Super Chief on The Santa Fe ended, though Amtrak used the name on the same route for three years. In 1974,The Santa Fe withdrew permission to use the name, due to a perceived decline in service, so Amtrak renamed it Southwest Limited. Following the delivery of new Superliner equipment, The Santa Fe allowed Amtrak to call it The Southwest Chief, in 1984.

A native of Wladimir, in Volhynia (then Poland, now Ukraine), and belonging to a noble family, Josaphat Kuncewitcz embraced Monastic Life in The Order of Saint Basil. He always kept fresh the flower of his Chastity, which he had from his youth Consecrated to Mary.

Commissioned in spite of his early age to govern the Monastery of Bytene, he became shortly afterwards Archimandrite of Vilna and, lastly, very much against his wish, Archbishop of Polotzk, of The Ruthenian Rite.

The Apostolic zeal of the youthful Archbishop excited against him the hatred of Hell. Attacked at Vitebsk by the Schismatics, he was cruelly put to death in 1623, and obtained from God the conversion of his murderers.

Josaphat Kuntsevych, O.S.B.M., (1580 – 12 November 1623) (Belarusian: Язафат Кунцэвіч, Jazafat Kuncevič, Polish: Jozafat Kuncewicz, Ukrainian: Йосафат Кунцевич, Josafat Kuntsevych) was a Monk and Archeparch (Archbishop) of The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, who was killed at Vitebsk, Vitebsk Voivodeship, in The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (now in Belarus), on
12 November 1623. He is "the best-known victim" of sectarian violence related to implementing The Union of Brest, and is declared a Martyr and Saint of The Catholic Church.

The Order of Saint Basil the Great (O.S.B.M. Latin: Ordo Sancti Basilii Magni, Portuguese: Ordem de São Basílio Magno, Ukrainian: Чин Святого Василія Великого, Chyn Sviatoho Vasyliia Velykoho), also known as The Basilian Order of Saint Josaphat, is a Monastic Religious Order of The Greek Catholic Church that is present in many Countries and has its Mother House in Rome (Santi Sergio e Bacco degli Ucraini).

The Order received approbation on 20 August 1631. Its Monks, Brothers, and Priests, work primarily with Ukrainian Catholics and are also present in other Greek-Catholic Churches in Central and Eastern Europe.

the Praxis of previous generations, now gone to The LORD.

In addition, Fr Hunwicke comments on HIS Ordo (see, below),

at FR HUNWICKE'S MUTUAL ENRICHMENT

"For those who are Ordinary Form chaps and chappesses, but would enjoy something which somewhat elevates bog-standard Bugnini, I commend the ORDO which I still compile,

Order for the Eucharist and for Morning and Evening prayer in the Church of England 2016. It gives full information both for the Novus Ordo Roman Rite (Third Typical Edition of the Roman Missal) and for the Church of England (Common Worship). Tufton Books. (By the way, it starts with Advent.)"

Two Ordo, or not Two Ordo: That is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous "Missalettes",

Or to give arms against a sea of troubles,

And, by opposing, end them. To know what Feast it is.

And have a damn good read.
