The St. Valentine's Day Mass is a chance to carve out time to celebrate liturgy, community, and the mysterious and treacherous love called for and lived out in marriage. All are welcome to celebrate with us via Livestream, and all married couples are welcome to renew their expressions of commitment during the liturgy. Instead of filing our limited number of available seats for this Mass, we will all celebrate this liturgy remotely: at home and in the places where we try to live into this sacramental reality of marriage each day. "SEE YOU ON THE STEPS" Every Sunday after 10 am Livestream! Do you sometimes wish you could just catch up with people after Mass like in the days before the pandemic? Well, now we can! Every Sunday after the 10 am Livestream anyone interested in chatting with others can join us “on the steps" of the church. An OSP leader will be there on Zoom to welcome us and send us into small groups to chat about the liturgy and the season we are in. So, bring your coffee... let’s get to know one another and share in some good church. We will share the link at the end of the Livestream each week or you can bookmark it ahead of time: bit.ly/osponthesteps SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7 10 am & 5 pm Livestream Masses Please join us for 10 am and 5 pm Livestream Masses next Sunday at livestream.com/oldstpats!

Jesus’ teaching is different from that of the scribes and it has a powerful effect on those listening. We are told that Jesus teaches with authority. It is the beginning of a new era heralded by one whose power angers some and amazes others. While in the synagogue at Capernaum, he encounters a man who is possessed by an unclean spirit. The spirit knows who Jesus is and that His coming means the spirit’s demise. The people were amazed at Jesus teaching, for he taught with real authority - quite unlike the teachings that they were accustomed to. Ask anyone about the most important learning experiences of their lives, and they will tell a story about a relationship with a teacher. They’ll tell of that person’s efforts to expose them to new perspectives, an impression on the soul. In other words, love opens up its spur their reflection, and support them through the difficult life to another person. It goes beyond sentimental feelings. It moments. And, if you listen carefully, you’ll hear evidence of breaks down barriers. It exposes the heart. the teacher’s joy and fulfillment in their role. Such teachers take their place among the friends and family who shape our Given the goings on in the world today, the turmoil and sense of self and how we engage with the world. brokenness around us it is probably harder to hear Jesus’ command to make disciples of all people.

Jesus spoke plainly of the approaching have a tendency to major in the minors - dialoguing with reign of God, calling people to turn their lives around in one another over doctrine and sociology and sexuality, response to this good news. Jesus taught, not in the mode of when the world is crying out for the hope of God and a just the rabbis of his day, but in the dynamic, confident voice of society. We were made to live justly in relation to God, to the prophets. I always imagine Jesus’ teaching had authority each other, and to creation. This justice which comes from because His capacity to generate excitement was deeply God is intimately personal. It is meant to serve people, to affected by His interest in the other, in hearing their voices, foster their well-being. People, then, are at the heart of true in recognizing their presence. We all know how it feels when justice. But justice is not merely personal and individual someone looks us in the eye and truly listens to us. I feel in – relationships are at the heart of justice. Justice is closely the marrow of my bones that Jesus was a listening leader. linked to shalom. Shalom means “peace,” but it is more than A great leader listens not only to others, but also to His the absence of conflict and wrongdoing. Shalom describes conscience and to the promptings of God. a state of material and spiritual wholeness, wellness, and fullness for people, both individually and corporately. Justice Jesus said many times, “Come, follow me.” His was a program can be thought of as both a foundation for shalom and a of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate result of shalom. Justice in our world, then, is about restoring brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling shalom or wellbeing of individuals and relationships. It is display, but that would have left his followers far behind. concerned with upholding rules and laws only as they serve Instead, he walked and worked with those he was to serve. to overcome wrongs and restore people to rightness and His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid wellness. We will see this even more clearly when we look of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him at love as an invitation to become love.

This kind of relational love is indispensable. condemning the individual. I guess I am suggesting that Jesus had authority because he risked to be present. Because Bernadette Gibson is the Director of Pastoral Care at Old St. Jesus knew love gets it hands dirty. It takes a chance. It goes Patrick's Church. out on a limb. It takes a gamble.

Berson 2 To Mom and Dad Now you can finally tell everyone that your son is a doctor. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my entire committee for their thoughtful comments, critiques, and overall consideration. The chair, Dr. Jack E. Davis, has earned my unending gratitude both for his patience and for putting me—and keeping me—on track toward a final product of which I can be proud. Many members of the faculty of the Department of History were very supportive throughout my time at the University of Florida. Also, this would have been a far less rewarding experience were it not for many of my colleagues and classmates in the graduate program. I also am indebted to the outstanding administrative staff of the Department of History for their tireless efforts in keeping me enrolled and on track. I thank all involved for the opportunity and for the ongoing support. The Ray and Mitchum families, the Cheatoms, Jim Buckner, David Cook, and Tim Hollis all graciously gave of their time and hospitality to help me with this work, as did the DeBary family at the Marion County Museum of History and Scott Mitchell at the Silver River Museum and Environmental Center.

    Auguste Rodin 1 Auguste Rodin Auguste Rodin Birth name François-Auguste-René Rodin Born 12 November 1840Paris Died 17 November 1917 (aged 77)Meudon, Île-de-France Nationality French Field Sculpture, drawing Works The Age of Bronze (L'age d'airain), 1877 The Walking Man (L'homme qui marche), 1877-78 The Burghers of Calais (Les Bourgeois de Calais), 1889 The Kiss, 1889 The Thinker (Le Penseur), 1902 Awards Légion d'Honneur François-Auguste-René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917), known as Auguste Rodin (English pronunciation: /oʊˈɡuːst roʊˈdæn/ oh-goost roh-dan, French pronunciation: [ogyst ʁɔdɛ̃]), was a French sculptor. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture,[1] he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition,[2] although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art. Sculpturally, Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay. Many of his most notable sculptures were roundly criticized during his lifetime. They clashed with the predominant figure sculpture tradition, in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic. Rodin's most original work departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality. Rodin was sensitive of the controversy surrounding his work, but refused to change his style. Successive works brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community. From the unexpected realism of his first major figure—inspired by his 1875 trip to Italy—to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, such that he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time.

  • Inventing the Lady Manager: Rhetorically Constructing the “Working-Woman”
    Inventing the Lady Manager: Rhetorically Constructing the “Working-Woman” Julie A. Bokser Abstract: Situated in feminist rhetorical studies, this essay attends to how a select group of women assumed leadership and asserted authority in their work with the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The essay attempts to understand how women became managers and workers by studying the writing and symbolic acts of Bertha Palmer, President of the Board of Lady Managers, and several associates. Using archived correspondence, primary texts, and recent feminist rhetorical methodol- ogy, the essay recovers the women’s rhetorical practices, examines perceptions of gender and leadership, and sketches the challenge of “leaning in” in the rapidly changing working world of the late nineteenth century. Keywords: rhetoric, women’s work, women managers, public memory, performing self, Bertha Palmer, Columbian Exposition “The Board builded better than it knew when it elected her to fill that office. And indeed Congress builded better than it knew when it cre- ated the Board of Lady Managers.” (McDougall 650) * When Bertha Palmer became President of the Board of Lady Managers (BLM) of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, she presided over more than one hundred lady managers, successfully advocated for Congressional fund- ing, supervised the design and building of the Fair’s Woman’s Building, negoti- ated the presence and selection of women judges, and coordinated the display of artifacts made by women from around the world. As noted in contemporary publications, the Board’s goal was to emphasize “the progress of women in a business and professional way,” made possible because “[t]raditional beliefs in regard to what constitutes a fit vocation or avocation for women are dis- appearing” (Yandell 71, Meredith 417).
