For Whom the Bells Laugh
April 17, 2022 | by Aliénor Manteau H’23
Bells ring from Jerusalem’s church spires in the evenings. If you stand on tiptoe on the shower ledge of a hotel bathroom and look through the half-open skylight, or push open an unlocked door on the top floor of a restaurant and lean against an air vent on the roof, you can hear them ringing all over the city.
Terror at the Cross, Transformed
April 15, 2022 | By Jadan Anderson MC’22
On that Friday, we looked at Jesus on the cross and were appalled. From what did we avert our eyes?
With guilty relief and a strange sense of injustice, we try to grasp how in God’s just world this perfect Man would die our deaths. How could we look? How could we look away?
What We Deserve

“You did this to yourself.”

Peace Without Any Answers
April 13, 2022 | By Yoska Guta TD’25
Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God allow evil? Where is God in the midst of suffering?
Growing up, my parents always taught me that it was okay, and even good, to ask questions about and of God. And although I wanted to believe them, I was convinced that if I questioned God’s character or His decisions, He would either meet me with wrath or be deeply disappointed. So, I made a subconscious decision to never question.
A Resting Place For Our God
April 13, 2022 | By Katie Painter TD’23
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto
Sicut erat in principio
Et nunc, et semper
Et in sæcula saeculorum
God’s Protection
April 13, 2022 | By Owen Sughrue H’23
Protection is a powerful thing. The harbor in my hometown of Marion, MA is incredibly well protected from Buzzards Bay and the larger Atlantic Ocean. Though we get our fair share of hurricanes, most days are calm thanks to the protection of the peninsulas on both sides of our outer harbor.
