Liturgical Incense no. 15 Vatican René Schönefeld, formerly Three Kings, used during the Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Vatican is a mixture of yellow, green, red and black glazed gum granules with lavender blossoms. Vatican’s fragrance is a classic combination of different types of incense, with oriental notes and hints of spring flowers, cinnamon and cloves. The fragrance is rich and refined with sweet and fresh tones. Vatican is a blend of three types of gum granules (Olibanum, Myrrh and Gum Benjoin). These granules are obtained from different gum trees, in particular the African Boswellia Papyrifera and Commiphora Myrrha and the Asian Styrax Benzoin. The granules have been washed in perfume oils and coloured with pigments that are all EU-approved. Burning incense is a rich sensory experience and it should burn on charcoal tabs specifically designed for incense burning. ..

Joy Cowley's Psalms Down-under, like their biblical models, are not the stuff of comfortable piety. They sing beatitudes for all life has to offer: pain and joy, doubt and faith, turbulence and peace, in the immediacy of 'down-under' speech. Commonalities become blinding insights as Cowley sees the 'shimmering of the divine' in everything from detergent bubbles to mountain snows. The subjects range from the paschal mysteries to the ordinary 'Bumps' in our lives. These contemporary 'metaphysical' prayer-poems go straight to our heart and quicken the soul: "Listen God/I just had a nasty bump/and now I want to know the reason why."..
