• Nunca he podido considerar este día como un día de luto; nunca me ha parecido que las banderas a media asta fueran apropiadas para el Día de la Condecoración. Más bien he pensado que la bandera debería estar en lo más alto, porque aquellos cuya muerte conmemoramos se regocijaron al verla donde su valor la colocó. Los honramos en una conmemoración alegre, agradecida y triunfante de lo que hicieron.

• Soy armenio, y el 24 de abril fue otra conmemoración del genocidio del pueblo armenio por Turquía. El perpetrador nunca admitió el crimen. Me planteé esa cuestión: ¿cómo se puede averiguar la verdad de un suceso tan traumático? Me obsesiona esa cuestión.

• The Great Famine is a period of our history that we need to know in great detail in order to understand its continuing impact on us as a people. Its causes were complex. We can't apportion blame simplistically but rather [must] understand that blame has to be shared in different areas and levels of society. It was the very poorest of the poor, the small tenants and cottiers, who really suffered. Others were less affected. But most of all I welcomed the commemoration because it was a moment to look into our past and realize the courage and resilience of those who survived.

• The commemoration of Christ's saving Passion is at hand, and the new, great spiritual Passover, which is the reward for dispassion and the prelude of the world to come. Lazarus proclaims it in advance by coming back from the depths of Hades and rising from the dead on the fourth day just by voice and command of God, Who has power over life and death (cf. Jn. 11:1-45).

• In commemoration of the fact that France was our ally in securing independence the citizens of that nation joined with the citizens of the United States in placing in New York harbor an heroic statue representing Liberty enlightening the world.

• En cuanto a las otras cosas que sostenemos con la autoridad, no de la Escritura, sino de la tradición, y que se observan en todo el mundo, se puede entender que se sostienen como aprobadas e instituidas, ya sea por los mismos apóstoles, o por los Concilios plenarios, cuya autoridad en la Iglesia es muy útil, por ejemplo.por ejemplo, la conmemoración anual, con solemnidades especiales, de la pasión, resurrección y ascensión del Señor, y del descenso del Espíritu Santo del cielo, y todo lo demás que de igual modo observa toda la Iglesia dondequiera que se haya establecido.

• As individuals die every moment, how insensitive and fabricated a love it is to set aside a day from selfish routine in prideful, patriotic commemoration of tragedy. Just as God is provoked by those who tithe simply because they feel that they must tithe, I am provoked by those who commemorate simply because they feel that they must commemorate.

• Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901 Be not afraid to pray... to pray is right.

• Conmemoración de Gilberto de Sempringham, Fundador de la Orden Gilbertina, 1189 Hay quienes presumen tanto de su ingenio que se creen capaces de medir toda la naturaleza de las cosas por su intelecto, en el sentido de que estiman verdaderas todas las cosas que ven y falsas las que no ven. Por consiguiente, para que la mente del hombre pudiera liberarse de esta presunción y buscar humildemente la verdad, fue necesario que Dios le propusiera ciertas cosas que sobrepasan con mucho su intelecto.

• Jesus wanted to show us his heart as the heart that loved so deeply. For this reason we have this commemoration today, especially of God's love. God loved us, he loved us with such great love. I am thinking of what St Ignatius told us.... He pointed out two criteria on love. The first: love is expressed more clearly in actions than in words. The second: there is greater love in giving than in receiving.

• COMMEMORATION Blessed art Thou, O Lord who didst bring forth of water moving creatures that have life, and whales, and winged fowls: and didst bless them, so as to increase and multiply. The things concerning the Ascension: Set up Thyself, O God, above the heavens and Thy glory above all the earth. By thine Ascension draw us withal unto Thee, O Lord, so as to set our affections on things above, and not on things on the earth. By the awful mystery of Thy Holy Body and Precious Blood in the evening of this day: Lord, have mercy.
