Díligam te, Dómine, fortitúdo mea: * Dóminus firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum, et liberátor meus.
Deus meus adjútor meus, * et sperábo in eum.
Protéctor meus, et cornu salútis meæ, * et suscéptor meus.
Laudans invocábo Dóminum: * et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.
Circumdedérunt me dolóres mortis: * et torréntes iniquitátis conturbavérunt me.
Dolóres inférni circumdedérunt me: * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.
In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum, * et ad Deum meum clamávi.
Et exaudívit de templo sancto suo vocem meam: * et clamor meus in conspéctu ejus, introívit in aures ejus.
Commóta est, et contrémuit terra: * fundaménta móntium conturbáta sunt, et commóta sunt, quóniam irátus est eis.
Ascéndit fumus in ira ejus: et ignis a fácie ejus exársit: * carbónes succénsi sunt ab eo.
Inclinávit cælos, et descéndit: * et calígo sub pédibus ejus.
Et ascéndit super Chérubim, et volávit: * volávit super pennas ventórum.
Et pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum, in circúitu ejus tabernáculum ejus: * tenebrósa aqua in núbibus áëris.
Præ fulgóre in conspéctu ejus nubes transiérunt, * grando et carbónes ignis.
Et intónuit de cælo Dóminus, et Altíssimus dedit vocem suam: * grando et carbónes ignis.
Et misit sagíttas suas, et dissipávit eos: * fúlgura multiplicávit, et conturbávit eos.
Et apparuérunt fontes aquárum, * et reveláta sunt fundaménta orbis terrárum:
Ab increpatióne tua, Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.

At least 90 people are believed dead and tens of thousands homeless after an earthquake hit L'Aquila and other towns in central Italy, rescuers say.)
Mass of the Ages Hosts a Debate on Organic Development: Kwasniewski &
DiPippo
-
Three years ago (how time flies!) I wrote an article in two parts on the
concept of “organic development”, and why I believe it is not a
particularly usefu...
