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

What We Deserve

So, I made a subconscious decision to never question.
A Resting Place For Our God

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.
