This Bishop of Milan was one of the four great doctors of the Western Church. As an orator he opposed the heretics, as a writer he enshrined Latin literature with his sacred hymns. He died in 397.
Tonight we met with our "Teams of our Lady" group. "Teams of our Lady," or simply "Teams," is a program where couples get together to pray and support one another. Our group has been somewhat, shall we say, awkward, because no one really knows what's going on, except that we have an outline that we are supposed to follow, for instance, when we should eat and for how long, what we should talk about and for how long...and the priest who leads the group has somewhat of a hard time with English...
Anyways, tonight Fr. Francis was busy, and our Team Leaders had a sick child, and two couples were in Vienna, so there were only three couples there, and it was quite informal. But it was lovely, we got to know Viera and Juraj from Slovakia, and Marlene (John's German teacher) and her husband Slava from Siberia were also there.
Oh, by the way, John turned in his next to last paper, a short one called Form and Matter in Aristotle's Physics. It was a hasty piece of work and he's not very proud of it, but you're welcome to read it and comment as always. It will also be linked on the sidebar with his other essays from this semester. Only one more paper to go!

Are you serious? I guess they are opposite each other on the color wheel thing...
Good to hear from you, and always glad to have your perspective on such matters. Speaking of which how was Etienne Gilson's book on the Arts of the Beautiful?
I never heard of Teams of our Lady until this past week, and now I hear of them again. I was checking out a website of our community in Dublin in anticipation of our trop to Europe next winter. I learned that a group of Dubliner couples were very involved in Teams of our Lady during the 1970sand 80s. A group of brothers and sister from the People of Hope in New Jersey were doing mission work in Dublin in 1982. The Teams of our Lady members were so impressed with what God was doing, especially in the area of family life, that some of them made a trip to New Jersey to learn more. Upon returning to Dublin the Teams of our Lady soon became a covenant community and have now celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary as a community. It is indeed a small world.1
Shalom,
