Obviously, they decided that my site was no longer acceptable and they set up specific rules so that tumbex users no longer have access to the contents of tumblr.
It's unfortunate, I loved tumblr, that's why I created tumbex. Using tumblr with an easy, clean and efficient interface was my goal. Because to be honest, their interface is really to be reviewed (otherwise you would not be here).
It is therefore with great sadness that I announce that you are living the last moments of tumbex, it was a great adventure, and a big thank you to all those who have followed me during all this time!
But don't worry, I'll be back soon with something even better;)

HOMILY for the Solemnity of St Dominic
Isaiah 52:7-10; Ps 95; 2 Tim 4:1-8; Matt 5:13-19
In the modern world we take light for granted. Whereas once we had to cram all our work into the daylight hours, which is part of the reason that monks would wake up so early for prayers so that they could then tend to their fields, we can now summon the light at the flick of a switch. Whereas we once had to make fires to see at night, we seldom worry now about whether we have enough fire wood or tallow to last the night, even though we’re being alerted about the rising price of fuel to both heat and illumine our homes. Nevertheless, the fact is that we seldom notice the light when it is present, but we definitely feel its absence. 
Recently, the lights behind the High Altar started flickering, and this alerted me to the fact that the power supply was fluctuating. It took a day for the mains power company to fix this, and it left parts of the church and priory in the dark while they were resolving the problem. Situations like this remind me not to take electric lights for granted; light, and even man-made light, is a gift - this was something the Greeks understood when they said that fire was stolen from the gods. 
Perhaps, like me, you also enjoy seeing the sunlight shining through the windows in the morning, or indeed coming into the cavernous spaces of this church on a bright day like this, shining through the stained glass windows. As a photographer, I enjoy observing light and its movement and reflections and capturing it in photographs, giving thanks with each photo for the light.
In the Order we call Saint Dominic lumen Ecclesiæ , light of the Church. And like the light, he is often taken for granted. He’s just there, and we seldom pause to notice his presence. And yet, St Dominic’s light permeates the Order, and if we take the time to notice and observe the light we will see reflections of him in the brethren and sisters around the world. In the laughter of our brothers during recreation, I am reminded of Blessed Cecilia’s description of St Dominic whom she knew and loved: “He was always joyous and cheerful, except when moved to compassion at anyone’s sorrows.” When I hear the brothers singing, whether it’s bluegrass in the USA – the Dominican band called the Hillbilly Thomists has just released its third album, which is has reached number 5 in the Billboard charts – or chanting the Mass, or singing the Divine Office in Byzantine-style harmonies as at Toulouse, I am reminded that St Dominic’s voice was said to be “clear, noble, and musical.” And when I see my brothers reading the Scriptures or studying a book, or sitting and praying the Rosary in one of the corners of this church, I remember that St Dominic was renowned for keeping vigils of prayer all night - he even slept in the church. It was said that St Dominic was found to be “either speaking to God or about God.”
But we Dominicans have never really had a cult of the founder, not in the way our brother Franciscans have upheld the figure of St Francis. In fact, until St Francis came along most religious Orders didn’t make too much of their founders. A case in point is the way the Dominicans were happy to keep St Dominic buried under their feet in the Chapter Room in Bologna, which is what St Dominic had wanted. But the pious pilgrims who came, clamouring to pray at his burial site disturbed the prayers and study of the brothers, so they at last agreed to move his body to a more accessible location. He was found to be incorrupt and giving off a miraculous fragrance, and only then did the brothers realise the sanctity of brother Dominic! For in life his light of love, cheerfulness, and compassion for the sick and poor had shone out, and indeed, it was said that at his baptism a great star had shone out from his forehead, but as is often the case, those who lived with him had just taken that light for granted. Until the Church called it to our attention. It was Pope Gregory IX who had urged the brethren to move St Dominic’s body to a new shrine for veneration, and he sent the Archbishop of Ravenna, together with a large number of bishops and prelates for that momentous occasion which we celebrate every year on the 24th of May. So began our own devotions to St Dominic, urged on by the laity, by bishops, and also by our nuns and sisters. Eventually we compiled stories from the brethren and nuns about the life of St Dominic, and his many miracles which all spoke of his joy and his confidence in God’s goodness. 
So today on the 8th of August, we recall the anniversary of St Dominic’s death which took place on 6th of August in 1221, depicted in the altarpiece of St Dominic’s altar. Consumed by fever, he said to the weeping brethren: “Do not weep, my beloved brothers… After death, you will have a more powerful advocate than you had in life.” And then one of the brother reported seeing a vision of two bright ladders descending from heaven, and St Dominic being pulled up by Our Lord and Our Lady as angels surrounded him, and he is lifted up into heaven’s eternal light, into the friendship of God the Trinity.
And this, ultimately, is the light of salvation that filled St Dominic’s life, and which he reflects as ‘light of the Church’. Although he combatted a serious heresy of his time, and although he saw starvation and poverty around him at times, and even when the friars had no food to eat because they had no benefactions that day, St Dominic was always full cheerily confident that God would provide and care for him. Several times, it is said, angels came to help him – once when he was lost they guided him back to Santa Sabina and unlocked the doors for him, and another time they came and provided dinner for the community at San Sisto. Once an Albigensian heretic mislead St Dominic into woods where the thorns cut at his feet – for he often walked barefoot on his journeys, as a penance for the conversion of souls – and he happily thanked the Albigensian for this added penance to his journey. This steadfast joy even in times of suffering converted the man. 
Thus, the challenge of St Dominic for us Dominicans today, I think, is to also have the same deep faith in God’s love and goodness, and so to have something of this evangelical joy and cheerful confidence in God’s providence. Indeed, I think this is what we all need in our time. St Dominic’s light of faith, therefore, and his joy in God, is a light for the Church in our beleaguered times. Like the stained glass windows here which are so brilliantly illuminated by the sunlight, St Dominic’s life and example shines out and gives glory to God, calling us to see the beauty and goodness that is present in our times but which, like those windows, can only be seen clearly when the light shines through them. With the light of faith, we too can see afresh all the good and the beauty and the good works that we might take for granted around us; we too can reflect that beauty and goodness in our lives; and we too can become a much needed light in our world and in our church today, giving glory to God by what we say and do.
The source of St Dominic’s joy of course is Jesus Christ, the true light that enlightens every man” (Jn 1:9), the truth whom Dominic loved and contemplated day and night. We are called, therefore, to stay close to Jesus in the way he did: through prayer, through the Rosary, and through the study of Scripture and a faith-filled understanding of truth through theology. Therefore Pope Benedict XVI said: “Priests, the consecrated and also all the faithful may find profound “inner joy” in contemplating the beauty of the truth that comes from God, a truth that is ever timely and ever alive.” 
May our holy father Dominic pray for us and be our advocate in heaven; may his life and example guide and inspire us; and may God grant us grace to shine out for his greater glory, for the salvation of those souls whom we encounter daily. 
HOMILY for Dedication of St Mary Major
Around the year 325, a rich aristocratic couple in Rome, John and his wife, were praying to Our Lady for a child. Devotion to Our Lady as help and intercessor goes back to the beginnings of the Faith, after all; the earliest copy of a prayer to Our Lady is a 3rd-century papyrus from Egypt, which is now housed in the John Rylands Library in Manchester. This prayer, known in Latin as Sub tuum præsidium and which we sing after the Saturday morning Mass in this church, invokes Mary, in Greek, as Theotokos , the Bearer of God, Mother of God. So, John and his wife followed in the ancient Christian practice of entrusting themselves to Our Lady, and as always Mary answers our prayers albeit sometimes in unexpected ways! 
On the eve of the 5th of August in that year 325, John has a dream in which Our Lady asks him to built a church to be named in her honour on the Esquiline hill, one of Rome’s legendary seven hills and the largest of them. It seems that Our Lady had also appeared to the Pope at the time, Liberius, telling him to go to the Esquiline hill. So, on the 5th of August, in the height of the Roman summer – and we all had a good taste of that kind of oppressive baking heat two weeks ago – the whole of Rome marvels as snow starts to fall on the Esquiline hill. John, his wife, and the Pope are gathered there, and as the snow falls they realise that Our Lady is indicating the site where she wants the church to be built. To commemorate this miracle of the snow, on this anniversary day white petals rain down during Mass celebrated inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the church founded by Pope Liberius and paid for by John and his wife. 
Currently, we can see the effect of the driest July on record in our city. The ground is hard and parched, and all the grass is brown. A heavy rainfall right now wouldn’t help as the ground is too solid and impervious, baked by the sun, and the result would be flooding. So, we need gentle soaking rain, or indeed, a fall of snow which can gradually melt and the moisture gently penetrate the earth. Our Lady indicates through the miracle of the snow that true devotion to her allows the grace of God, like melting snow, to gently and gradually soften hearts that have been hardened by sin. The whiteness of the snow on the dry ground is also a reflection of Mary’s immaculate conception – a unique and marvellous work of God – that stands out in shining splendour against the history of humanity, fallen into original sin. God does this miraculous work of preserving Mary from the stain of sin so that through Mary and in Jesus, the thirst of humanity for salvation will be satisfied. For just as the dry land is gently watered by snow and dew so the human soul, parched by the heat of sin, is restored to new life by the gift of the Saviour who Isaiah says falls like moisture from the heavens. Hence the Mass for Our Lady in Advent begins with the antiphon Rorate cæli : “Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down the Just One.”
Finally, shortly after the Council of Ephesus in 431, Pope Sixtus III rebuilt and embellished the Basilica that Pope Liberius had built on the Esquiline hill. The church was dedicated to the Mother of God, Theotokos , a title that emphasises the divinity of Christ, and which had been solemnly affirmed by the Council of Ephesus. For two thousand years, therefore, Christians have gone to the Mother of God for help and intercession; the Gospel of St John indicates the first recorded instance of this, when the newly-wed couple at Cana went to Our Lady for help when the wine had run out. The great Basilica on the Esquiline hill on Rome, therefore, stands as a sanctuary for all who seek Our Lady’s intercession. As the consequence of a miraculous snowfall, it also stands as a promise to all who go to Our Lady that God will answer our prayers and can work marvels for us, even if we don’t immediately perceive his action in our lives. Rather, like slowly melting snow, God’s grace permeates our lives and refreshes us. 
Thus we pray to Mary in our need. At this time, let us pray for gently rain to refresh our land, and indeed, for all our necessities. So, let us say the words of the Sub tuum præsidium: “We fly to your patronage, O Holy Mother of God: despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.” Amen. 
St Matthew gives us a flashback today, telling us how St John the Baptist had been martyred, the victim of a lustful tyrant’s flippant oath. However, if our attention is drawn simply to the account of St John’s execution, then we might miss the opening paragraph that leads to this flashback: Herod has been hearing about the miracles performed by Our Lord, and he remarks that John, the cousin of Jesus, must have “risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” (Mt 14:2)
We find other instances in Scripture when those in power and authority can say true things, but they do not realise the theological depth of their words; there is a deep irony and perhaps a warning to us that we can get things right, we can know true things, but we do so unknowingly, or in the wrong context, or confusedly. After all, as St Thomas Aquinas affirms, sin dulls the intellect and confuses us from truly perceiving the things of God; sin blinds us. Hence, in the previous chapter of St Matthew’s Gospel, just before the passage we’ve heard, Jesus says about the Jewish authorities of his day: “With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: `You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive. For this people’s heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.’” (Mt 13:14-15) 
Herod, therefore, who is blinded by his sins, sees truth but does not perceive rightly; he remains confused morally. Thus St Mark also tells us that Herod “feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man”, and that “when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.” (Mk 6:20) 
So, what is the truth Herod sees in today’s Gospel? He is right to say that one who has risen from the dead will manifest miraculous powers. The irony is that he thinks that St John the Baptist had risen from the dead, but we know, of course, that it is Jesus Christ alone who is the Risen One – all the rest of humanity, when we rise from the dead, will do so because of Christ’s unique Resurrection. And the Risen Christ, we know, works wonders. This is the truth that Herod has chanced upon and declares in today’s Gospel. Each of the Gospels recount miracles worked by the Risen Lord but they are unanimous in telling of the greatest miracle of all, which is that Christ is present with his Church, with his beloved disciples and friends, seen but not always perceived. 
As Catholics, we have always known that the Risen Lord is present with us, and comes to us in our lives and in our days through the Holy Eucharist. The Gospel of St Luke presents this to us in the striking story of the walk to Emmaus, when two disciples met the risen Lord who came to comfort and teach and accompany them. And they declared that Jesus “was known to them in the breaking of the bread.” (Lk 24:35)
Carys, you know, too that Jesus is with you – he comes to you, walks with you, comforts you, teaches you and accompanies you, in the Eucharist that you will receive today for the first time. It is a miracle, a wonder and a gift, that Jesus comes to us and is present with us in the Church through the Eucharist. So the Bread that we receive in the Mass is Jesus’s ever-living and risen Body, his glorious Body, and it is only because Jesus has risen from the dead that he can give himself to us in this miraculous way. This is the awesome truth that poor Herod got right! But although he saw, he did not perceive because he was hardened by sin. Let us never allow our sins to keep us from really perceiving and knowing the love of God. This is why an important preparation for Holy Communion was going to Confession, and this is the same for all of us – priests, laity, no matter how old we are. As the Church firmly teaches: “ Anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before approaching Holy Communion”. 
Why is this? Because Jesus wants to make his home in us. And so we prepare for his coming, we make him welcome by ridding our lives of our sins. As a result, our hearts become attentive to God, our ears are opened to hear his Word, and our eyes are opened in faith to see him, especially in the Eucharist. As the two disciples at Emmaus said: “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road”? Yes, Our Lord is here in the Holy Mass, and he talks to us, and he loves us and inflames our heart with his love. Therefore, all who come to the Mass with ready and opens hearts, eyes, and ears, will see truth and will, additionally, perceive the salvation of God. As Jesus says, those who are not blocked by sin shall “perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them”. 
St Thomas Aquinas remarks that the work of repentance and conversion in our souls so that we are saved from our sins is a work of God’s grace, and Man’s salvation is a greater and more miraculous work of God than the work of creation. This is the miracle that the Risen Lord desires to work in our lives, this is the healing that Jesus speaks of, if we will turn to him. The Risen Lord does this miracle for us every time he gives his Body and Blood to us in the Eucharist - he draws us closer to himself, and changes us to become more like himself. So we pray that Carys, and indeed, all of us, will see and perceive this truth when we come to Mass, and so will prepare well to receive Jesus in Holy Communion, and will want to come often. For as the Lord Jesus said to St Augustine about receivin
