The first is from Fr. Paolo Padrini, the creator of iBreviary, who informs us that the app is now available in three new languages, Portuguese, Arabic and Turkish. The latter two are especially important for those who live in countries where Bibles and Christian prayer books are illegal or under heavy restrictions. The app is free, and contains a truly remarkable number of resources for prayer, meditation and study, including the Liturgy of the Hours in both the Roman and Ambrosian Rites, the Roman Breviary of 1960 (in Latin only), the Roman and Ambrosian Missals, lives of the Saints, the Mass lectionary and much more. Full information is available at their website, http://www.ibreviary.org/en/, including a brief interview which Fr. Padrini gave to Shawn Tribe a while back....")

• The Deacon's Bench (Deacon Greg Kandra) >> Researchers report new details on how the “Man of the Shroud” died  (..."…The first discovery the four experts made, is that the Man of the Shroud underwent a dislocation of the shoulder and paralysis of the right arm. The person whose figure is imprinted on the Shroud is believed to have collapsed under the weight of the cross, or the “patibulum” as it is referred to in the study, the horizontal part of the cross. The Man of the Shroud the academics explain, fell “forwards” and suffered a “violent” knock” “while falling to the ground.” “Neck and shoulder muscle paralysis” were “caused by a heavy object hitting the back between the neck and shoulder and causing displacement of the head from the side opposite to the shoulder depression… The authors of the article put forward their theory on the Man of the Shroud’s immediate cause of death. Restricted breathing and the presence of the haemothorax which put pressure on the right lung were not enough to bring about death by asphyxia. Asphyxia involves an inability to breath which results in loss of conscience and coma. The four experts say the fall and/or the flagellation have caused not only a pulmonary contusion but also a cardiac contusion. This, together with the serious clinical and mental condition the Man was in, may have led to a heart attack and a broken heart.")
