The People Are A Temple
October 26, 2021 | By Jadan Anderson MC ‘22
And souls are candles, each lighting the other.
I read this short poem by Gennady Aygi, a Russian poet, in a class where I had hoped to build substantial relationships with my classmates as we discussed faith through the lens of poetry, and vice versa. Surprisingly, I’ve been building those relationships even more in my introductory Chinese class, in between our bad third tones and character-related short-term memory loss.
Easter Sunday
April 4, 2021 | By Serena Puang, DC ‘22 + 1
Happy Easter! He is Risen! It has been our honor to journey with you through Lent for the past seven weeks. I hope that wherever you are: whether at home or miles away, whether on fire for God or burnt out, you can take some time today to reflect on the miracle of the resurrection and its implications.
Quiet Rest
April 3, 2021 | By Andrew Raines
They have anointed his body with oil
And veiled his face like a bride.
They have laid him in Joseph’s tomb...
An Appointed Place
April 2, 2021 | By Jeremy Begbie
Many of us are haunted by the memory of a missed opportunity. Near the end of Graham Greene’s novel, The Power and the Glory, an old priest sits in his cell the night before his execution. He looks back over his life, thinking of all the things he could have done and should have done, could have said and should have said. As Greene has it, “He felt like someone who had missed happiness by seconds at an appointed place.”
Two Thieves
April 1, 2021 | By John Daoud PM ‘21
Lent calls us to improve and deepen our relationship with the Lord in many ways. One such way is through an examination of his Passion. I have recently been drawn to the beautiful Passion hymn, “The Song of the Two Thieves.” The hymn finds its root in the Indian Orthodox churches and is originally in Malayalam. Translations may be found here and here. And of course, hymns are not meant to be read but rather chanted.
Simple Truths to Cling to
March 31, 2021 | By Shiwen Yeo MC ‘23
I grew up in a convent. People often joke that I seem nothing like a convent girl and are genuinely surprised whenever I say that I didn’t go to elementary school. And while I was not raised Catholic, I think that my convent years had a profound impact on my spiritual life, in little ways that really add up.
