Yo les [email protected] aseguro que si el grano de trigo, sembrado en la tierra, no muere, queda infecundo; pero si muere, producirá mucho fruto. El que se ama a sí mismo, se pierde; el que se aborrece a sí mismo en este mundo, se asegura para la vida eterna” (Jn 12:23-25). Discipleship of FAITH & PRAYER Discipulado de FE Y ORACIÓN Pastor TRUTH ABOUT THE EQUALITY ACT Fr. Félix P. Medina-Algaba The bill is well-intentioned but ultimately misguided. The Equality Act discriminates against people [email protected] of faith, threatens unborn life, and undermines the common good. Parochial Vicars Human dignity is central to what we believe as Catholics. Every person is made in the image of God Fr. Jesus Murillo and should be treated accordingly, with respect and compassion. That means we need to honor every [email protected] person’s right to be free of unjust discrimination. Fr. Mateusz Ratajczak The Equality Act purports to protect people experiencing same-sex attraction or gender discordance [email protected] from unjust discrimination. Although this is a worthy purpose, the Equality Act does not serve it. And instead of respecting differences in beliefs about marriage and sexuality, the Equality Act discriminates Facebook: against people of faith precisely because of those beliefs. In the process, the Equality Act codifies the new www.facebook.com/ ideology of “gender” in federal law, dismissing sexual difference and falsely presenting “gender” as only a QoPAurora social construct. The Equality Act: • exempts itself from the bipartisan Religious Freedom Restoration Act, in an explicit and unprecedented Instagram: departure from one of America’s founding principles, thereby infringing on religious freedom and queenofpeaceco making it more difficult for individuals to live out their faith Fatherfelixatqueenofpeace • forces religiously operated spaces and establishments, such as church halls, to either host functions that violate their beliefs or close their doors to their communities • requires women to compete against men and boys in sports, and to share locker rooms and shower YouTube: facilities with men and boys youtube.com/c/ • forces faith-based charities that serve all people to violate their religious beliefs, and threatens the communicationsqop welfare of thousands of beneficiaries of charitable services such as shelters and foster care agencies, by forcing a multitude of them to be shut down • jeopardizes existing prohibitions on the use of federal taxpayer funds for abortion, likely pressuring or even mandating the performance of abortions by health care providers in violation of their consciences, Flocknote and ultimately ending more human lives (Receive text and/or • hinders quality health care, by forcing health care professionals, against their best medical judgment, to email updates about support treatments and procedures associated with “gender transition.” parish events & activities) The Catholic Church is the largest non-governmental provider of human services in the United States, Text AURORA to 84576 helping millions of Americans in need through its parishes, schools, hospitals, shelters, legal clinics, food banks, and charities. Our core beliefs about the dignity of the human person and the wisdom of God’s design motivate both our positions on marriage, life, and sexuality, and our call to serve those most in need and the common good. By running roughshod over religious liberty, the Equality Act directly undermines CONFESSIONS the Church’s ability to fulfill that call. Monday-Friday: 7:20am–7:50am SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE Tuesday: LORD –MARCH 25 6:15pm—7:15pm The Annunciation celebrates the visit of the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to inform her that she was to be the mother of Jesus. Friday: On this great feast day, we not only recall Mary’s courageous “yes” 12:00pm—1:00pm to God, we also celebrate the Incarnation of Christ, our Savior. For 4:00pm—7:00pm it was there, in the womb of a woman, nine months before the celebration of the manger, that “the Word became flesh and made Saturday: his dwelling among us” (John 1:14). 11:30am—1:00pm The celebration of the Annunciation coincides with the anniversary of the papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life). This prophetic document on the dignity and inviolability of every human life was put forth by Pope John Paul II on the Solemnity of the Annunciation in 1995. The intimate connection of these two events highlights a profound reality about the identity and value of every 2 human person. Discipleship of FAITH & PRAYER Discipulado de FE Y ORACIÓN LA VERDAD SOBRE LA LEY DE IGUALDAD Párroco El proyecto de ley tiene buenas intenciones pero, está equivocado. La “Ley de Igualdad” discrimina Fr. Félix P. Medina- a las personas de fe, amenaza la vida por nacer y socava el bien común. Algaba [email protected] La dignidad humana es fundamental para lo que creemos como Católicos. Cada persona está hecha a imagen de Dios y debe ser tratada en consecuencia, con respeto y compasión. Eso significa que debemos Vicarios Parroquiales respetar el derecho de toda persona a no sufrir discriminación injusta. Fr. Jesus Murillo [email protected] La Ley de Igualdad pretende proteger a las personas que experimentan atracción por el mismo sexo o discordancia de género de la discriminación injusta. Aunque este es un propósito digno, la Ley de Igualdad Fr. Mateusz Ratajczak no lo cumple. Y en lugar de respetar las diferencias de creencias sobre el matrimonio y la sexualidad, la Ley [email protected] de Igualdad discrimina a las personas de fe precisamente por esas creencias. En el proceso, la Ley de Igualdad codifica la nueva ideología del “género” en la ley federal, descartando la diferencia sexual y presentando falsamente el “género” como solo una construcción social.

  • 9 SONGS-B+W-TOR
    9 SONGS AFILMBYMICHAEL WINTERBOTTOM One summer, two people, eight bands, 9 Songs. Featuring exclusive live footage of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The Von Bondies Elbow Primal Scream The Dandy Warhols Super Furry Animals Franz Ferdinand Michael Nyman “9 Songs” takes place in London in the autumn of 2003. Lisa, an American student in London for a year, meets Matt at a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert in Brixton. They fall in love. Explicit and intimate, 9 SONGS follows the course of their intense, passionate, highly sexual affair, as they make love, talk, go to concerts. And then part forever, when Lisa leaves to return to America. CAST Margo STILLEY AS LISA Kieran O’BRIEN AS MATT CREW DIRECTOR Michael WINTERBOTTOM DP Marcel ZYSKIND SOUND Stuart WILSON EDITORS Mat WHITECROSS / Michael WINTERBOTTOM SOUND EDITOR Joakim SUNDSTROM PRODUCERS Andrew EATON / Michael WINTERBOTTOM EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Andrew EATON ASSOCIATE PRODUCER Melissa PARMENTER PRODUCTION REVOLUTION FILMS ABOUT THE PRODUCTION IDEAS AND INSPIRATION Michael Winterbottom was initially inspired by acclaimed and controversial French author Michel Houellebecq’s sexually explicit novel “Platform” – “It’s a great book, full of explicit sex, and again I was thinking, how come books can do this but film, which is far better disposed to it, can’t?” The film is told in flashback. Matt, who is fascinated by Antarctica, is visiting the white continent and recalling his love affair with Lisa. In voice-over, he compares being in Antarctica to being ‘two people in a bed - claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place’. Images of ice and the never-ending Antarctic landscape are effectively cut in to shots of the crowded concerts.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • River of Fire: Critiquing the Ideology of History (Student Paper)
    River of Fire: Critiquing the Ideology of History (Student Paper) I T between the personal and the historical has always been a key theme attracting poets. However, Qurratulain Hyder, in her “historical novel” River of Fire, takes up this relatively common theme in such a way that her treatment of it produces a strong critique of the received notion of history. In other words, the author of River of Fire depicts the, at once, tragic and comic drama which takes place between the historical and the personal. Hyder’s artistic representation of that drama epistemologically questions what is known as history. This paper seeks to explore the ways in which this novel works against, parallel to and as a supplement to history. I use the term “history” here with two distinct meanings. Sudipta Kaviraj defines history as firstly meaning “the course of happenings in time, the seamless web of experiences of a people,” and secondly as meaning “the stories in which what had happened are recov- ered and explained.”1 In this discussion I will read River of Fire against both of these definitions. However, for greater clarity, I will use the term “history” to convey the first meaning and “historiography” to convey the second. II In the world of this novel, princes leave their thrones and their beautiful 1Sudipta Kaviraj, The Unhappy Consciousness (Delhi: Oxford University Pr., ), p. • T A U S women, preferring intellectual pursuits over ruling countries and waging wars. Despite dwelling under trees and only eating meager foods, students live happy lives reflecting on the cosmos and ultimate truths.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 “For Me, Film is Face”: Self and Identity in the Films of Ingmar Bergman Brad Mitchell Spring 2016 2 I. Introduction The filmography of Ingmar Bergman is often described in terms whose aptness is hard to deny, but whose connotations can be a bit hazier – “dark,” “serious,” and “melodramatic” are often used to describe his films, doubtless due to particular themes reoccurring throughout his works. Repeatedly expounded are ideas of life and death, God and Satan, light and darkness. These ideas sometimes manifest themselves literally, such as the character of Death in The Seventh Seal, and sometimes exist as struggles his characters face, such as a priest’s crisis of faith in Winter Light or Isak Borg’s struggle with living in Wild Strawberries. At other times these ideas are shown directly to the viewer on the screen: cinematographer Sven Nykvist, who worked with Bergman on many of his films, reportedly sat in the church where Winter Light was filmed for an entire winter day in order to observe how the light moved throughout the space.

    Silver Bear, Golden Cadillac: An Interview with Dirk Kummer Silver Bear, Golden Cadillac: An Interview with Dirk Kummer In January 2020, Hiltrud Schulz of the DEFA Film Library interviewed actor and director Dirk Kummer, who was involved in the production of the only two films about being gay ever produced in East Germany. • A 2020 DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library • A 2020 DVD Release by the DEFA • A 2020 DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library • A 2020 DVD Release by the DEFA Coming Out Coming Out © Photo: Frederic Batier HS: In the GDR, two films were produced that dealt with homosexuality: the documentary Die andere Liebe (The Other Love) and the feature film Coming Out. You were involved in both of those films! In 1988, a year before Coming Out was released, you appeared in Axel Otten’s and Helmut Kissling’s documentary The Other Love. It was the first film about homosexuality ever made in East Germany; the DEFA Studios produced the short documentary on commission for the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden. The goal was to spread awareness about and campaign for tolerance and equal rights for homosexuals in the GDR. How did you get involved in this film? DK: It was a weird coincidence. I was already involved in many initiatives and events for the emancipation of gays and lesbians in East Berlin in the late 1980s. After Gorbachev came to power, there was a huge wave of open- mindedness and tolerance towards minorities. That is how The Other Love got made in the first place.

  • From Ashes to Stone: Development of Chihiro in “Spirited Away” "You're
    Spirited Away 1 From Ashes to Stone: Development of Chihiro in “Spirited Away” "You're called Chihiro? That name is too long and hard to pronounce From now on, you’ll be called Sen. You got that? You're Sen." - Yu-Baaba An insecure little girl is thrown in a world of wonders, magical and dangerous at the same time, and emerges a strong, assertive character. Chihiro is able to accomplish this because she does not lose her own identity to the name-stealer Yu-Baaba – and in turn does not lose her virtues. Her personal journey becomes even more valiant when compared to the other characters of the bathhouse, who have lost their soul with their name. The newest installment in Studio Ghibli’s unparalleled collection of animation movies, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away, “Sen or Chihiro in the Land of the Gods”) accomplishes everything its predecessors did – seamless animation, an engaging story, and a brilliant soundtrack. Spirited Away is a story about a girl who is stuck in a mythical world of gods, ghosts, and witches – Chihiro must overcome adversity and fear in order to save her parents and escape the world that has enslaved her. Director Miyazaki Hayao, head of Studio Ghibli, has managed to craft a cinematic masterpiece, one that will doubtless be considered a classic. Spirited Away takes on an extra level of significance, as Miyazaki has announced that it will be his last film. In retrospect, it can be seen that Spirited Away has amalgamated the best elements of previous Ghibli-Miyazaki movies into one spectacular film about a lost little girl named Chihiro.
