Silvia, do you remember those moments, in your mortal life, when beauty still shone in your sidelong, laughing eyes, and you, light and thoughtful, leapt beyond girlhood’s limits?
The quiet rooms and the streets around you, sounded to your endless singing, when you sat, happily content, intent on that woman’s work, the vague future, arriving alive in your mind. It was the scented May, and that’s how you spent your day. I would leave my intoxicating studies, C. S. Lewis Foundation - Study Guides.
Exaltation of the Cross. Orthodox America Exaltation of the Cross September 14 The Exaltation of the Cross is one of the twelve great feasts in the yearly Church cycle.
It commemorates two historical events: first, the finding of the Life-giving Cross in the year 326, and second, its recovery from Persia in 628. History of the Feast In the first centuries of Christianity, during the years of persecution, the pagans wished to destroy all evidence of the life of Jesus Christ, and the Cross on which He was crucified disappeared. The temple was torn down, and digging in the earth below uncovered three wooden crosses. Hearing of this discovery, all the faithful desired to see the Cross of the Lord and to venerate it. To house the relic of the True Cross, St. The Life-giving Cross was kept in Jerusalem until the year 614 when the Holy City fell to the Persians who looted the Church of the Resurrection and took the True Cross back with them to Persia.
The Year of the Eucharist - Suggestions and Proposals. It has hardly been a year since the conclusion of the Year of the Rosary and we have yet again another initiative of the Holy Father: The Year of the Eucharist (October 2004 – October 2005).
The second initiative continues what began in the first. The pastoral indications that the Pope outlined in his Apostolic Letter, Novo Millennio ineunte, directed to the whole Church, has put both initiatives into the furrow of the Second Vatican Council and the Jubilee Year, placing the contemplation of Christ’s face at the center of the Church’s efforts (cf.
Mane nobiscum Domine, ch. I). In fact, with Rosarium Virginis Mariae, the Pope invited us to contemplate Christ through the eyes and heart of Mary. Now, The Year of the Eucharist, guided and introduced by the Apostolic Letter Mane nobiscum Domine (October 7th, 2004), offers us an important pastoral occasion further to sensitize the Christian community, so that they make this wonderful Sacrifice and Sacrament the center of their lives. 1.

There’s a discussion at 4RealLearning for some All Saints craft ideas. One idea is simply to contemplate heaven, and perhaps draw or do a collage, picturing what heaven would be. A wonderful story to accompany this activity would be from Father Brennan. This comes from another volume, maybe Angel Food or another one, but growing up all I had was this book, and I remember this story well: The Most Beautiful Picture in the World By Gerald T.
When you open a book, what’s the first thing you do? This story is about a man who drew pictures. Lloyd was an old man. One day Lloyd decided that he would paint the most beautiful picture in the world. After several months Lloyd began to paint his picture of Heaven. Lloyd spent many months on his picture. The old painter was happy too. In the middle of the night the old painter awoke. The old painter jumped out of his bed. The Stranger smiled, and the painter smiled too. The old painter looked at his picture. Like this: Fellowship of Catholic University Students: FOCUS Campuses.
