Third Sunday of Lent page 3 March 7, 2021 FEAST OF FAITH Postures of the Mass In the Mass, we pray not only with our lips, but with our bodies as well. We stand when the ministers enter. In Western culture, standing is a sign of attention, a mark of respect: all stand when the judge enters the courtroom, for example. Standing is also an ancient posture of prayer, mentioned frequently in the Old Testament. When the readings begin, we sit down: a listening posture. Mary sat at Jesus’ feet to listen to his teaching; the crowds sat on the hillside or the seashore to hear his words. Kneeling is another posture that is full of meaning. It expresses adoration and worship, but it can also express humility and contrition. We bow: a sign of honor and reverence, acknowledging the presence of God, especially when we receive the Eucharist. And there are other ritual gestures as well—striking the breast, genuflecting, and of course making the sign of the cross. The liturgy invites us to pray with our whole person—with heart and mind, voice and body.

    1-Ureni:0Syrimis 1/19/11 3:20 PM Page 9 HUMAN GENERATION , M EMORY AND POETIC CREATION : FROM THE PURGATORIO TO THE PARADISO PAOLA URENI Summary : Statius’ scientific digression on the generation of the fetus and the formation of the fictive body in the afterlife occupies a large part of canto XXV of Dante’s Purgatorio . This article will examine the metaphorical relevance of that technical exposition to Dante’s poetics. The analogy between procreation and poetic creation appears to be con - sistent once the scientific lesson on embryology of canto XXV is under - stood as mirroring the definition of the Dolce Stil Novo offered by Dante in the previous canto ( Purg. XXIV). The second part of this article stress - es the importance of cantos XXIV and XXV as an authorization to inves - tigate the presence, in Dante’s Comedy , of a particular notion of purely rational memory derived from Augustine’s speculation. The allusion to an Augustinian conception of memory in Purgatorio XXV opens the pos - sibility of considering its presence in the precisely intellectual dimension of Paradiso . In canto XXV of the Purgatorio , Statius’ exposition on the generation of the fetus and the formation of the fictive body in the afterlife is evidence not only of Dante’s awareness of the medical debates of his time, but also of his willingness to enter into such discussion. Less obvious, but perhaps more important is this technical exposition’s metaphorical relevance to Dante’s poetics. The analysis of the relation between human generation and poetic inspiration is the focus of the first part of this article.

  • Dante's Shades: Embryology in Purgatorio XXV from Plurality To
    Dante’s Shades: Embryology in Purgatorio XXV from Plurality to (Near) Unicity of Forms MANUELE GRAGNOLATI Abstract: This paper explores the concept of shades (“ombre”) inhabiting the otherworld depicted in the Divine Comedy. Dante takes it from the Classical world, and indeed “umbrae” already inhabited the underworld visited by Aeneas in book six of Virgil’s Aeneid, but in Purgatorio XXV he gives it an Aristotelian interpretation so that it could fit the new Christian setting of his poem. In particular, Dante imagines that when a soul separates from its body at physical death and gets to the afterlife, it can unfold a body of air that gives it both an appearance and all the senses, and that a shade is precisely formed by the separated soul and its aerial body. By contextualizing Dante’s explanation in Purgatorio XXV within contemporary eschatological assumptions and embryological discussions, this paper argues that Dante’s doctrine negotiates between two different principles of Scholastic philosophy (unicity and plurality of forms), giving the soul such power that it can indeed unfold a body of air (and therefore have full experience) in the afterlife while at the same time making clear that aerial shades should not be confused with real, fleshly persons. The concept of shade appears as paradoxical, both powerful and limited, and indicates, in different ways, the significance of corporeality for Dante’s anthropology. Keywords: Dante, medieval eschatology, Purgatory, embryology, soul, body, corporeality. In the thirteenth century, Christian eschatology with respect to body and soul undergoes a significant change of emphasis: the traditional focus on the Last Judgment and the resurrection of the body shifts towards a sense of “last things” that, if it does not erase the significance of bodily return at the end of time, concentrates nonetheless on the individual destiny of the separated soul and stresses its full Université de Paris 4 – Sorbonne.

Phillips-Robins: SINGING FOR DANTE Bibliotheca Dantesca, 1 (2018): 127-145 SINGING FOR DANTE IN ‘PURGATORIO’ 30–31 HELENA PHILLIPS-ROBINS, University of Cambridge This essay investigates types of sociality enacted through song, as depicted in Dante’s Earthly Paradise. The first section of the essay argues that the singing of Psalm 30 (In te, Domine, speravi) in Purgatorio 30 is a way of enacting a particular mode of compassion. In the second section of the essay I argue that Dante’s depiction of Psalm 30—together with his depiction of the antiphon sung in Purgatorio 31, the Asperges me—invites a devotional response from the reader. The sociality of prayer can involve not only the characters, but also the readers of the Commedia. I investigate the liturgical context in which Dante and medieval readers would have known and lived the Asperges me. I argue that here, at the end of the narrative of his penitential journey, Dante, with this antiphon, invites the reader to her own performance of penance.

Dante, Purgatorio, II, 7 The above quotation opens Run to the Mountain: The Story ofa Vocation, Volume One of the Journals of Thomas Merton. And it tells in just a few words the story that emerges as we wander through the pages of this new and revealing book of Merton's thoughts and musings during his pre-monastery years. We 're with him when he lives on Perry Street in New York; we travel with him during his Cuban adventure; and we join him on the Erie Lackawanna Railroad to Olean where he taught at St. Bonaventure University. 1 read The Seven Storey Mountain when l was a teenager. l remember telling someone that I had not committed a sin since. My jocular comment gave me a spirited sense of self-aggrandizement. Then I forgot about Merton. As the years went by, l dipped into his latest works, but found them too "spiritual" or too "holy." I did not share his zeal for God. Catholicism was a club I'd resigned from in my twenties. I respected j his choice but by being raised Catholic I felt and saw .I the narrow and provincial attitudes it provoked in me and my contemporaries. "If Jesus were to return today, JACK KELLY (CENTER) he wouldn't be welcome in the Catholic Church," one with Robert Lax & Marcia Kelly 12 elderly Episcopal priest pointed out to me.

  • “Climbing the Stairway to Heaven”: an Analysis of Pride Within Literature
    “Climbing the Stairway to Heaven”: An Analysis of Pride within Literature and Catholic Sermons from the Middle Ages Russell L. Weber $ word in hand, the angel of the Lord “sketched seven ‘Ps” upon the forehead of Dante Alighieri.’ The seven marks that Dante receives in Canto IX of Purgatorio symbolize the seven deadly sins of Catholicism and represent the permanent scars that non-repented sin can leave upon the purity of one’s soul.2 After carving the Ps, the angel of the Lord informs Dante that prior to entering Heaven he must be sure to “wash these scars” off of his face, since no soul can be in the presence of God without proper purgation of his mortal and sinful ways. Furthermore, the angel warns Dante that once he has crossed the threshold and entered Purgatory he must focus upon moving forward since “those who look behind return outside.”3 Again, the words of the angel are symbolic, revealing that in order to enter Heaven one must be solely dedicated to salvation, no longer yearning to return to a sinful lifestyle. With these words of warning in mind, Dante, with the aid of his guide, the legendary poet Virgil, leaves ante-Purgatory and begins his climb of divine purification that, if successful, will allow him entrance into Paradiso.4 By the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the seven deadly sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and lust—were an established aspect of medieval popular belief. The seven deadly sins were a topos for medieval European literature, appearing as the foundational structure for the second book in Dante’s Divine Comedy, Purgatorio and also as focuses in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales and John Gower’s Confessio Amantis.5 Additionally, the seven deadly sins became one of the most important mechanisms for medieval preaching.
