Dialectic

February 1, 2023 | Justin Ferrugia TD ‘24

The example of St. Dominic’s Church, however, reframes the question: how do we know when a tradition that has been discarded can be useful to solve a modern problem?

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.

You keep the Sabbath and adhere to the Levitical laws of food, drink, and sacrifice. You are rightly and completely devoted to these laws, just as many of us are devoted to the doctrinal tenets of our faiths.

I’ll Give You a Daisy a Day, Dear

By Vienna Scott, BF ‘21. Vienna is majoring in Religious Studies and Political Science.

While Coronavirus rages outside, we sit quarantined, like that prophetic family on an arc, together. Not rain, but disease fills the outside world.

Amidst the crocus buds and daffodil stems, I’m hoping to find the first daisy of Spring.
