Yesterday...the Superior of the FFI, Fr Stefano Maria Manelli, celebrated Solemn Mass in the Cathedral of the Pope, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, on the occasion of the Octocentennial of the Approbation of the Rule of St. Francis by Innocent III on 16 April 1209. This took place in the context of the Chapter of Mats, a Conference of the Ministers General of the First Order and the TOR of the Franciscans (Friars Minor, Conventuals, and Capuchins) to celebrate this Octocentennial. Here are some images of the Mass, by way of our friends at Rinascimento Sacro.

As you know, yesterday was Great Friday for the Orthodox. Here are the Lamentations we chanted in a full church last evening, the first in Greek, the second in Arabic:

I think the Arabic is particularly beautiful. The woman singing is famous throughout the Levant.
