Send requests to: [email protected] From the Pastor: Father Michael Skluzáček December 23, 2018 4th Sunday of Advent Leaping for Joy The fourth “week” of Advent is only two days this year. Tomorrow we quickly switch gears and begin the Christmas Season with the Vigil Masses on Monday evening. The waiting of Advent turns quickly into the joyful celebration of Christmas. It is Mary who ushers us into this joyful season, as she goes “in haste” to visit her cousin Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant in Elizabeth’s womb leaped for joy. That infant was St. John the Baptist, our parish patron saint. The cause of the infant John’s joy was the nearness of his cousin, Jesus, who was soon to be born of Mary. The Holy Spirit had filled both John and his mother with an aware- ness of the presence of Jesus, the Savior of the world. Our world today is often filled with suffering and trials. Joy is hard to find. This past year has seen its share of distress – in our world, in our Church, and perhaps in your family’s life. You might not feel like “leaping for joy.” Yet, the Holy Spirit, if we are open to his grace, will open our minds and hearts to the pres- ence of Jesus, just as he filled Elizabeth and John. This Christmas, invite the Lord Jesus into your heart once again, or maybe for the first time. Invite him to show you his face. Allow the Lord of the universe, who came to us as a little child, to fill your life with his peace. Ask him to help you bear whatever crosses you have. Carry his light to the world, as did his mother Mary, with great haste. And then, leap for joy; Jesus is here! Fr. Michael Skluzacek “Do not be afraid.” These encouraging words were said by the Archangel Gabriel to the Blessed Vir- gin Mary shortly before Jesus took on our human flesh in her womb. The words were repeated by the angels who appeared to the astonished shepherds the night of Christ’s birth. Both proclamations brought peace in the midst of uncertainty. This past year we have experienced uncertainty and fear in our lives as we strive to fol- low Christ. Yet, the birth of our Savior and Redeemer reminds us that we do not need to be afraid! Jesus Christ is here to rescue us! He is here to support us! He is here to forgive us! He is here to love us! My prayer for you this Christmas Season is that you would be strengthened by the Lord’s faithfulness and his never failing presence.

MEDICINE a patient's account of a medical history. In philosophy, anamnesis (/ˌænæmˈniːsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις) is a concept in Plato's epistemological and psychological theory that he develops in his dialogues Meno and Phaedo, and alludes to in his Phaedrus. It is the idea that humans possess innate knowledge (perhaps acquired before birth) and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge within us. Socrates' response is to develop his theory of anamnesis. He suggests that the soul is immortal, and repeatedly incarnated; knowledge is in the soul from eternity (Meno 86b)1, but each time the soul is incarnated its knowledge is forgotten in the trauma of birth. What one perceives to be learning, then, is the recovery of what one has forgotten. (Once it has been brought back it is true belief, to be turned into genuine knowledge by understanding.) And thus Socrates (and Plato) sees himself, not as a teacher, but as a midwife, aiding with the birth of knowledge that was already there in the student.2 In midrashic literature this idea is fully fleshed out in a hypostatized angelic didactic interaction with every fetus.

Sociology is, by common consent, the most ambitious advocate of modern society. In other words, it undertakes to develop an understanding of modern existence in terms of breakthroughs from ancient cosmological cultures to ordered and plural civic life based on the gradual subsiding of communal life. Thus, within this undertaking, the sociological project of modernity figures as the cultural machine that dislodges the rationale of social being from local, communal, hierarchic contexts into the logic of individualism and social differentiation. The conventional wisdom of sociology has been challenged by post-modern debate, abolishing this dichotomous evolutionism while embracing a more heterogeneous view of coexistence and exchange between local cultures and modern institutions. Islam, however, is often described as a different cultural machine for the holistic reproduction of pre-modern religion, and Muslims are seen as community-bound social actors embodying a powerful potential for the rejec- tion of and opposition to Western modernity. Sociologists insist on looking for social differentiation and cultural differ- ences. However, their concepts remain evolutionist and inherently tied to the cultural machine of modernity. The Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam takes these antinomies and contradic- tions as a challenge.

  • Final Paradise Lost 4 Script
    PARADISE LOST 1: THE NEPHILIM AND THE GRIGORI Written by Aaron McDonald Patrick Henry Creations Loosely based on John Milton's Paradise Lost Largely based on The Holy Bible Address Phone Number WHITE TEXT ON BLACK BACKGROUND “This is a story about family.” FADE IN: EXT. WOODS - DAY ISAIAH MOSES MELTON is walking through the woods holding his HD Handycam. He is also carrying (under his arm) a sketchbook titled “Storyboards.” He points it at his face to address the viewers. ISAIAH Uh, hey. Hey everybody. It’s me, Isaiah. Figured I’d take a break from the vlogging and, um, do something different. (laugh) And weird. Isaiah stops in the woods and looks around. ISAIAH (MUTTERS) (CONT’D) Okay, this seems like a good spot. Isaiah sets the camera down on a stump facing him. He opens his sketchbook and gets on his knees (or sits down) and looks into the camera. ISAIAH (CONT’D) I want to make - or remake - Milton’s Paradise Lost into a movie. I’m not sure exactly where to start, but I figure my drawing ability might come in handy. Maybe I’ll make it into a cartoon or anime or something. But anyway, I’m gonna pray for guidance, for a heavenly muse. That’s what the original author did... Isaiah places his sketchbook on the ground in front of him and clasps his hands in prayer, lowering his eyes. ISAIAH (CONT’D) Lord, send me your holy spirit so that I may know and understand how man and angel fell... 2.

It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. LILITH – A MYTHOLOGICAL STUDY * TRACEY LOUISE SMITH * THESIS ACCOMPANYING CHRYSALIS A Thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master Of Arts by Research in Creative Writing * Submitted December 2008 1 Abstract Lilith – A Mythological Study is the accompanying thesis to my creative piece, Chrysalis, a novel which centres on the protagonist Melissa and her possession by the demoness Lilith. My thesis is an exploration of Lilith throughout mythology, from her early incarnations in Mesopotamia, through Christian texts, to Jewish folktales, looking at how the various elements of her legend, namely as a succubus, demoness and child killer, have evolved. Here I also explore a number of other myths which portray demonised female figures, and compare them to Lilith, posing the question: is Lilith such an archetypal character that she sparks similar myths across the ancient world, or is it merely that strong women were easy to demonise in male-dominated religions? In order to answer this, I go on to study how Lilith’s femininity has contributed to her myth, and how women in general have been demonised by patriarchal and religious societies. Through this I also touch upon the subject of feminist representation by discussing the concepts of the ‘other’ and abjection, and how Lilith has become an icon for modern feminist movements.
