Till We Have Faces
By Raquel Sequeira, TD ‘21. Raquel is majoring in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry.
Lent is a season to face up to temptation and the fear of isolation, as Jesus did in the desert. Lent is a time to put trust in the desperate hope that if God truly incarnated Himself, He will do it again—that if He truly showed me His face, as I believe He did, He will do it again.
Foreheads and Invisible Faith
By Lauren Spohn ‘20. Lauren is a junior in Currier studying English.
As we begin this Lenten Season, I encourage us to think of ways that we can wear ashes on our foreheads for the next forty days, for the next forty months, the next forty years--ashes that aren’t always visible grey crosses on our foreheads, but invisible acts of faith that ripen our lives into visible signs of Christ.
The Distance from Here to Paradise: Restoring Community
By Sharla Moody, BK ‘22. Sharla is majoring in English.
Is Paradise for ourselves and for our campus just around the corner, after the next protest, after the next wellness discussion? Perhaps. But perhaps our desires for justice, home, and contentedness, though extraordinarily noble pursuits, are too temporal to sustain us and too blurry around the edges to formulate in a way that is good for everyone.
Delaying Desire: When Tomorrow Never Comes
By Bradley Yam, SY ‘21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics and Computer Science.
When John and I sat down under the beautiful beams of Berkeley’s Dining hall to swap stories about our novel and wondrous versions of The Yale Experience™. Our conversation was charged with awe, but also an accompanying anxiety to make the most of our time here. Out of the blue, John asks, “But really, are you satisfied?”
The Promise of Greatness
By Raquel Sequeira, TD ‘21. Raquel is majoring in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry.
We look on our four years at Yale as a precious chance to find a niche in this enormous world where we can maximize our skills and passions. As it happens, resource optimization is a Christian virtue as much as a capitalist one.
Desiring Unity: Reflections on Protest and Protestantism
By Sharmaine Koh, SM ‘22. Sharmaine is majoring in History.
I realise that protest in and of itself is not the problem, but the solution. Underlying the spirit of protest and protestantism is a desire for both truth and unity.
