Medieval monks worked long hours in silence copying and illustrating manuscripts. But what happened when their minds began to wander? Composer Samuel Barber has set to music real marginalia from Irish monastic texts between the 8th and 13th centuries. Hear Barber’s songs in a live performance and learn more about the lyrics and the lives of the monks who wrote them.

An examination of how Augustine responded to the libido dominandi (desire to control) of the civil leaders of his time will be the basis for a discussion of the just inaugurated leadership of the United State. The focus will be on Augustine's interest in the powerful, spiritual leadership of the many, not an analysis of the attitudes of the elected. Hence, it will be Augustine's "I have a dream" speech.

Dr. Paul Camacho gives his lecture is part of the series on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition sponsored by the Office for Mission and Ministry.
