Thoughts about teaching math, teaching truth, living the reality of the Sacred. Monday, June 16, 2008. It's a kind of "What does the Latin hymn really say? Type blog. I call it Hymnos Debitos Canamus. Please visit and look at the first post. To find out what that means. For a long time I have tried to pray the Latin psalms with the eventual goal of being able to pray the Liturgy of the Hours in Latin- with. I moved toward my goal in stages. The prayers of the faithful were a low priority, since I skipped...

Skip to primary content. Tribalism in Catholic Music. March 17, 2012. Jeffrey Tucker writes…. Are just beyond me. I don’t get why anyone would want to do this instead of just chant the thing. So… there was a time in my life when I would have thought this was really great. So, let me try to explain what it is I used to like about this sort of thing…. Music like the link above plays at these understandings- it gives a sense of shared “tribal” identity, a feeling of participation in some ancient...Conservat...

et vita manifestáta est: Metaphysics, part two
http://etvitamanifestataest.blogspot.com/2011/01/metaphysics-part-two.html
Et vita manifestáta est. Metaphysics, part two. Continuing on with the nuggets of what we learned in metaphysics:. Four implications we can draw from the relationship between essence and existence are as follows:. 1) Every being has a kinship with every other being, because they all share in existence, and are images of God, who is their source. 2) All beings have intrinsic value, because they exist. There has to be two distinct co-principles in the essence of every member of the human species. Why?

Et vita manifestáta est. Metaphysics, part five. This class confirmed that reason can conceded the process of evolution all the way up to the appearance of humans. But the emergence of human beings requires an act of creation on God's part, because we have a spiritual soul which cannot arise from matter. The five properties that are characteristic of absolutely every being are that it 1) is one 2) acts 3) is intelligible 4) is good 5) is beautiful. Intelligibility, or truth, relates to our intellect;...

A typical room on third floor. Links to this post. Dominic's Nine Ways of Prayer. I wasn't too excited by this reading; it talks about the different postures in prayer that St Dominic used. Yes, we should be free to assume different postures, but I'm not that excited. Maybe I'm too much of an old fogey. I've finish...

Et vita manifestáta est. Metaphysics, part three. For angels, since they are pure spirit, the principle of individuation is form, rather than matter. So each angel is its own species: they aren't related to one another, as we are. Each angel is radically distinct from all the other angels. Since only matter individuates human persons, our bodies are, again, a very important part of us, and help form our identities. Every being composed of essence-existence or matter-form requires an efficient cause, beca...

http://etvitamanifestataest.blogspot.com/2011/01/metaphysics-part-four.html
Et vita manifestáta est. Metaphysics, part four. Arguments for the existence of God:. 1 Given any conditioned being, there must exist at least one self-sufficient being. (This is based on infinite regress. If you look for sufficient reason in conditioned beings, you won't find it. There has to be an unconditioned (self-sufficient, uncaused) being that can cause all other beings.). 2 No being can be self-sufficient unless it is qualitatively infinite in perfection. 2 A beings have existence.

Et vita manifestáta est. Well worth watching today if you haven't before. Only this year, after learning how to say the EF Office, have I figured it out. I had read GILH 239 multiple times before, but never understood what it meant. It reads:. During privileged seasons, if it is desired to celebrate the office of a saint on a day assigned to his or her memorial:. So, this is how you do the Office today:. Lauds is concluded in this way:. All-powerful and unseen God the coming of your light into the world ...
