Our Lenten journey is not an end in itself, but the means to Easter greatness, to Easter glory. And the more we put into it now, the greater the rewards we will reap in 40 days’ time. City Lent truly is the most wonderful Barber Shop time of the year, because it is our time to do the work that God asks of us, to step Main Ave, up and grasp the opportunity for Weston greatness that He offers to us. It is a Operator: D.C.

    Musica Sanat Corpus Per Animam': Towar Tu Erstanding of the Use of Music

    `Musica sanat corpus per animam': Towar tU erstanding of the Use of Music in Responseto Plague, 1350-1600 Christopher Brian Macklin Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Music Submitted March 2008 BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality 2 Abstract In recent decadesthe study of the relationship between the human species and other forms of life has ceased to be an exclusive concern of biologists and doctors and, as a result, has provided an increasingly valuable perspective on many aspectsof cultural and social history. Until now, however, these efforts have not extended to the field of music, and so the present study representsan initial attempt to understand the use of music in Werrn Europe's responseto epidemic plague from the beginning of the Black Death to the end of the sixteenth century. This involved an initial investigation of the description of sound in the earliest plague chronicles, and an identification of features of plague epidemics which had the potential to affect music-making (such as its geographical scope, recurrence of epidemics, and physical symptoms). The musical record from 1350-1600 was then examined for pieces which were conceivably written or performed during plague epidemics. While over sixty such pieces were found, only a small minority bore indications of specific liturgical use in time of plague. Rather, the majority of pieces (largely settings of the hymn Stella coeli extirpavit and of Italian laude whose diffusion was facilitated by the Franciscan order) hinted at a use of music in the everyday life of the laity which only occasionally resulted in the production of notated musical scores.

  • A Passionist Friendship: Barnabas Ahern and Thomas Merton

    A Passionist Friendship: Barnabas Ahern and Thomas Merton

    17 A Passionist Friendship: Barnabas Ahern and Thomas Merton By John Collins Passionist Father Barnabas M. Ahern was one of the most significant American Catholic scripture scholars of the mid-twentieth century, during the years leading up to and following the Second Vatican Council. Through correspondence and occasional encounters, Thomas Merton and Father Ahern developed a mutually beneficial relationship in which Ahern provided Merton with valuable advice not only on scripture but on his works in progress and even his personal life, while Merton was enlisted for a time by Ahern to contribute his literary expertise to the project of the new American Catholic translation of the Bible. The extant correspondence between Merton and Ahern is one-sided; only a single letter from Merton to Ahern survives, from January 22, 1953;1 a total of twenty-one letters from Ahern to Merton, from April 10, 1950 through April 8, 1956, are preserved in the archives of the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University.2 During the period when Ahern was teaching seminarians at the Passionist monastery in Louisville, KY, from 1959 through 1962, he also gave lectures on scripture at the Abbey of Gethsemani, where he and Merton would meet on occasion.3 An examination of the Merton/Ahern correspondence and related materials provides significant insights into Merton’s concerns and interests during the period, though much of the information has to be inferred from Ahern’s responses; while the relationship was not an intimate one, and continued to be marked by a certain formality on Ahern’s part throughout the correspondence, it was an important one for Merton during a period of his life marked both by spiritual restlessness and spiritual growth.

The story of my life may be the exception to the first statement, but be that as it may, I must tell that story for better or for worse, if only for my own peace of mind. The title of the story, “My mind to me a kingdom is,” came to me at an age when I first discovered that I had a mind. I can no longer remember the author of that poem, but I can never forget the profundity of that line. My mind to me has been a kingdom, albeit confused and befuddled at times.
  • Rich Lusk Easter 2011: Death Trampled Down (Matthew 28) Sermon Notes

    Rich Lusk Easter 2011: Death Trampled Down (Matthew 28) Sermon Notes

    Rich Lusk Easter 2011: Death Trampled Down (Matthew 28) Sermon Notes The original outline for the sermon: 1. Resurrection realities: the angel, the guards, the disciples 2. Resurrection results: courage, joy, worship 3. Resurrection responsibilities: go, baptize, teach 4. Resurrection reassurances: no fear, “I am with you” I obviously had to rearrange what I wanted to say for the sake of time, but perhaps we can revisit the aspects of the narrative and its implications that I omitted at another time. ---- The end of Matthew brings us full circle in all kinds of ways. Just as Jesus came forth from Mary’s womb at the beginning, so now Mary meets him at the empty tomb. Just as the magi came to worship him, so now his disciples worship him. Just as he began his public ministry in Galilee, so now he returns to Galilee. Just as Satan took him up on a mountain and offered him the kingdoms of the earth in exchange for worship, so now Jesus is worshipped on a mountain as he claims the kingdoms for himself. ---- The resurrection means Jesus is king and his kingdom has come. His kingdom is not of this world, but it invades the kingdoms of this world and transforms them. Easter means death never gets the last word. For the Christian, death is not a dead end. It’s more like a tunnel. It takes us to a glorious destination (heaven)….where we await an even greater glory (the resurrection of the body and the perfected new creation). Easter means the triumph of life over death.
