Season of Hope Prayers & Reflections on Aging Little Sisters of the Poor 6 Table of Contents Foreword ........................ 9 Prayers .......................... 11 Reflections ................... 35 Afterword ..................... 49 References .................... 50 8 AfterwordForeword Foreword We are in the midst of a demographic revolution as the world’s population rapidly ages and the very old begin to outnumber the very young. According to United Nations estimates, today there are about 600 million persons aged 60 and over worldwide. This total will double by 2025 and will reach virtually two billion by 2050. In traditional societies, the elderly were generally supported by their children and grandchildren as their strength waned. But in many parts of the world today seniors are forced to remain in the workforce longer in order to support themselves or their families. In some cases, they find themselves isolated from younger family members who have relocated, while in others they assume care-giving and homemaking roles within their extended families. At the same time, health and social services for senior citizens are often inadequate, and professionals working in these fields commonly lack the training and the empathy necessary to understand the unique needs of the elderly population. As children, many of us learned the old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” But as we grew up we realized that words really are powerful, with the force to make both war and peace, to both lift up and tear down the human spirit.

My answers,at first, did not David Foster. Ph.D. move pastthe generalitiesthat philosophy is the in- strumentof theologyor that philosophytaught you to Yote: This paper wasfirst presentedin Venice,April, 1996 at think logically. Realizing the inadequacyof those 'he International Conferenceon Preparation for Priesthood answers,I began to study the relationship. with the support of the Wethersfield Institute. As a result,this paperaims to describein betterr detail how theology usesphilosophy. Its main con- tributionsare 1) a descriptionof the instrumentaluses of philosophy,2) the identification of the intrinsic role of philosophy as material to theology. Becauseof the focus on the theologicaluses of philosophy,I will leave aside other contributionsof philosophyto theology students,such as, helping them to understandthe modern world, disciplining their thinking, stimulatingcreative thought, and providing order for a complex world. These contributions of philosophyare important, but are not unique to the- ology. The Traditional Ways Theology UsesPhilosophy Four main uses quickly emergedas a working hypothesis:philosophy serves theology as a preamble, a tool, a bridge, and a shield.2 Theseare the more traditional ways of describing how theology uses philosophy.The list eventually grew to six. Philosophyis a preamblein thatit preparespeople for understandingthe Faith. It is a tool in that it is usedas an instrumentto better understandthe Faith. It is a bridge in that it provides common principles where believer and nonbeliever can meet. It is a shieldin thatit can be usedto defendthe Faith against argumentsof nonbelievers3.The seconduse, as a tool, is the most commonand the most importantto articulatefor theologystudents.

Jacques Maritain. Education at the Crossroads Education at !he Crossroads is Jacques Maritain speaking at Yale in 1943 as a philosopher and as a Catholic about education, doing then and there what he had always done and continued to do until his death: speak­ ing as a philosopher and as a confessing Catholic. What strikes us as we look back at Maritain through the books that he has left us is his public loneliness. And in that light what must impress us is the love of truth and the aspiration towards wisdom out of which these books had to have been written. Because Maritain's public voice was always that of a Catholic as well as a philosopher, he exemplified what Josef Pieper calls "existential honesty as a philosopher," refusing to ''disregard the truths of divine revelation that you have accepted in faith." 1 Consequently as a philosopher he was largely ig­ nored outside Catholic milieu.

Grace: A Reflection on the Novels of Marilynne Robinson the simple joy of the words on the page. For this joy in words is what makes her writing so memo- rable: each sentence is delectable, meant to be read and then re-read, reveled in and embraced before the reader moves on to see what the next sentence might bring. Her novels call the reader to slow down, to notice the beauty of the ordinary, both in the beauty of her writing and the beauty of the lives she writes about. If one could take a common kitchen sponge, saturate the sponge with the words from her novels, and then wring out the sponge, what one would see drip out slowly would unmis- takably be grace.

  • ANALYSIS Garry, Patr
    REVIEW In the Shadow of War (2006) Patrick Garry Patrick Garry is a professor of law and the prolific author of both scholarly books and allegorical novels in the tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Flannery O’Connor, and Marilynne Robinson. Allegory is a rare achievement that distinguishes the most evolved literary fiction and is characteristic of many classics. The narrator Glen begins In the Shadow of War by inviting the reader to participate with him in trying to understand the meaning of his brother Ricky, which turns out to be the meaning of life. When the reader learns that the story is going to be about the narrator’s relationship to a retarded brother—“Who wants to read about a retard?”--it is both a straightforward forewarning on page 1 and a test. Like Bartleby in Melville’s great story, Ricky is a mirror reflecting the nature of other characters (most of whom are retarded in various less visible ways) and of the reader as well: Glen says, “That was how I often judged people--by how I thought they would react to retards.” We do not blame Glen in the least for what happens to Ricky, because he is so young, because he tries so hard and obviously loves Ricky, because he is so honest and critical of himself, because we (most readers) would never be able to do as well by Ricky as Glen, and because Glen is the one who actually has the responsibility. We admire him all the way because he is so much better a person than we think we would be in such a situation.
