Crow Museum Visit

December 1, 2018 | Media

Toward the end of the fall semester, Form II made their second field study of the year to the Crow Museum of Asian Art in Dallas. They looked at many beautiful works of art, such as the head of a Buddha statue from China and a complete suit of samurai armor from the Edo period in Japan. The students were well prepared for this eastward journey by Fr. Augustine (social studies) and Ms. Williams (English). With Fr. Augustine they are studying Eastern civilizations and religions, including Buddhism and Hinduism. With Ms. Williams they are currently reading a work of literature (written in English) by a Korean author, A Single Shard. The docents and museum were wonderful. And we are proud to say that we impressed them as well by our knowledge, curiosity and excitement! @ Crow Museum of Asian Art

‘The Lord is with you’

Gabriel is not the first messenger of the LORD to greet someone with the phrase “The LORD is with you” (Lk 1:28). An anonymous angel hails Gideon, a young man from a poor and insignificant family, as the lad desperately hides his family’s wheat harvest from the marauding Midianites: “The LORD is with you, you mighty warrior!” (Jgs 6:12). Gideon then receives his commission to save Israel from the hand of its enemy and to be a judge over the 12 tribes.

Discerning Communion calls for truth in charity

Discerning whether to offer or receive Communion can be a challenge, spiritually and pastorally; but such discernment can always also be fruitful.

Hail Mary, full of grace

St. Luke gives us the angel Gabriel’s annunciation greeting to Mary as “Chaire, kecharitōmenē” (Lk 1:28). There are thrilling grammatical and theological mysteries packed into these two Greek words.
