Scriptorium iTools
Scriptorium iTools (Internet Tools for Scriptorium) is a freeware utility (English interface) to help you monitor all the text- and audiovisual- files contained in this very page (except the following entry: Psalms and Ragas) and in the Bible and Patristic pages.
Files may downloaded either as a set of files or one by one; and once downloaded they can be viewed through the application itself.
Scriptorium iTools is smart enough to understand when a given file has been revised/modified: in such case it will download it, otherwise it will skip it.

Eucharistic Prayers
In the early '70s the Swiss Catholic Bishop Conference introduced four new Eucharistic Prayers which were very much liked by pastors and faithful alike. In due time the Italian Catholic Bishop Conference officially adopted them and gave them a place in the Roman Missal.
St Benedict Moth translated them into Bengali, therefore now you too may have a look at them.
The package contains the Eucharistic Prayers in two different formats; have a look at both of them and print the format you like best (in the package, read the Printing.pdf file to learn how to print the Eucharistic Prayers as a booklet).

Evangelarion
According to ancient tradition, at the beginning of a solemn Mass, the Book of the Gospel (Evangelarion) is to be carried in with special veneration by a deacon in the procession of ministers, and after being solemnly presented to the congregation, is to be enthroned on the altar. As St. Germanus of Constantinople, in the eighth century, wrote in his commentary, ‘The entrance of the Gospel signifies the coming of the Son of God.’ Then, at the proper time, it is carried amid candels and incense to the lectern so that the ‘Wisdom of God’ may instruct his people.
Should you download, print and bind ‘Evangelarion’, prepare a nice cover for it. Surely your congregation or community will appreciate it when they see a celebration carried on in the way as described above.
(Text without titles from the Jubilee Bible).
