The Magazine for the Loyola Blakefield Community the magazine for the loyola blakefield community summer 2010 Blakefield message from the president s we mark the completion of this, our 75th academic year at Blakefield, I am reminded of just how bittersweet these days are. AThe Eighth Grade Celebration took place on Friday, May 28th and our finishing Middle Schoolers are eager to move forward with their high school careers. They are a particularly thoughtful and articulate group. One young man poignantly wrote to me: “I wanted to tell you how much your sermon at the celebration meant to me. You talked about Jesus’ bar mitzvah and that was when his calling became clear. I know that as I became a bar mitzvah, it was the first time I really understood and could relate to the message of the Torah. I had sat and listened to the Torah being read a hundred of times, but my bar mitzvah was the first time I read to others and had to tell the story. My calling is obviously not the same as Jesus’, but it was at my bar mitzvah that many people learned that I was not as shy as they thought, that I felt very strongly about helping other people, and I am more than just a swimmer….Even though I am Jewish, I like to say the prayer of St. Ignatius. After learning the Lord’s Prayer, I sometimes say it on my own, and I have liked learning about Jesus….Thank you again for reminding everyone that a bar mitzvah is a part of all of our pasts, including their Lord and Savior’s. It meant a lot to me. For me and the other boys, the message that it is our obligation to find and use our strengths, our gifts, and our callings in the service of God was very meaningful too.” Not to be outdone, our seniors garnered approximately $13M in scholarship offers along with 768 acceptances of admission at 178 institutions Prayer for our Graduates of higher learning.

For Wordsworth, the construction of this poem was a meditative experience which provided him, in subsequent years, the opportunity to reflect upon his past, present, and anticipated future – very much in the spirit of an Examen. In the concluding stanza of “Tintern Abbey” Wordsworth writes, Therefore let the moon Shine on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty mountain-winds be free To blow against thee: and, in after years, When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy memory be as a dwelling-place For all sweet sounds and harmonies; The emotional response that you are having at this moment is more beneficial in the long term than what any of us could possibly say to you today.

The Romantic poets, in part, sought comfort and reflective opportunities through their active imaginations as well.

  • Father Graham, Jesuit Priest, Ministered in India
    Father Graham, Jesuit priest, ministered in India By Paul McMullen [email protected] Twitter: @ReviewMcMullen Jesuit Father Edgar Graham, a Baltimore native who taught and ministered in India, is remembered as a priest who could be both friend and taskmaster. Father Graham died Feb. 1, at age 92. A funeral Mass was offered Feb. 6 at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Baynesville, where he had celebrated Mass for more than two decades, starting approximately in 1985, when he returned to the U.S. after more than 30 years in India. Jesuit Father Joseph Lacey, pastor of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez in Woodstock, met Father Graham in the mid-1960s, when the former joined the faculty at a Jesuit school in Jamshedpur, India. Father Lacey gave the homily at Father Graham’s funeral Mass, which he shared with the Catholic Review. “I was just a young scholastic and Ed was my confessor,” Father Lacey said in his homily. “My first Lent in India I asked whether I could be dispensed from fasting and he responded, ‘No, it’ll do you good.’ “Ed never backed away from a difficult job and he scrupulously and exactly accomplished every task, whether as a math teacher or a treasurer.” Born in 1923 in Baltimore, Father Graham was baptized at Holy Cross Parish. He graduated from what is now Loyola Blakefield in 1941. According to the Jesuits’ Maryland Province, he bagan his college studies at what is now Loyola University Maryland, finished at Novitiate of St. Isaac Jogues in Wernersville, Pa., and studied philosophy at the former Woodstock College.
