Will Wright is joined by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers who discusses his book 'Building a Civilization of Love' and addresses the topics of prejudice, racism, language, and identity in Christ. He emphasizes the importance of love and seeing the image of God in others as the solution to racial division. Deacon Harold also explores the distinction between prejudice and racism, and the need for self-reflection and empathy to overcome prejudice. He discusses the role of the Catholic Church in addressing racial issues and the importance of an eschatological perspective. Additionally, he examines critical race theory, liberation theology, and the Black Lives Matter movement in relation to the Catholic faith. In this conversation, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers discusses the agenda of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and its impact on the nuclear family. He also highlights the high abortion rate among black women and the eugenicist history of Planned Parenthood. Deacon Harold challenges communities of color to address internal issues and embrace their faith to bring healing and reconciliation. He advocates for using inclusive terms like 'people of color' instead of 'African American' and suggests practical steps for transcending race, such as appreciating cultural diversity and promoting conversation.

Brother Thomas Buttrick was born in Phoenix in 1981, to a family with secular Jewish roots on his mother's side and Protestant New England– though unchurched and fairly disconnected– roots on his father's side.Thomas is one of three, having two older siblings, and, after his parents divorced when he was an infant, he, his mom and siblings moved out East, where he gained a stepfather and grew up in suburban New Jersey, loving the arts, music, and, as he says, arguing.After high school, Thomas studied history at Brown University, where, through the Bible and an influential friend, he also got interested in the academic study of religion, as well as in its teachings and promises for the believer.  By his graduation, Thomas considered himself a Christian, though still unbaptized. After college, he traveled to Israel, becoming more religiously committed there and experimenting with his sense of belonging in different Christian groups and churches.  In 2007, he was baptized by a friend in a private ceremony, and, around that time, he also started working on organic farms out west and becoming interested in teaching.After a confusing and illuminating journey, Thomas chose to join the Catholic Church in 2014. He continued teaching for some time, but longed for more structure and purpose in his life, as well as more space for prayer. He began visiting Mount Angel Abbey, a home and seminary for Benedictine Monks, and found in it a balanced-feeling existence, with, as he says, “good spaces for listening.”Thomas joined the Abbey, going through the typical stages of monastic initiation, in 2017, and he received the religious name Thomas, in honor of St. Thomas, the Apostle of Jesus, who initially doubted his master's resurrection and was later convinced of it.Thomas made the traditional vows of obedience, stability, and monastic conversion very recently on September 11, 2021 Art Direction and Design by Molly KeeneMusic by Yakov Fleischmann

Given the overflowing wonder of the Holy Trinity, it's no wonder that Fr. Chuck's Saturday Vigil homily and Sunday homily gave totally different images to describe our relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. You've got to hear both (Pt. 1 & Pt. 2) to learn how Baptism plunges us into the powerful Name of God and why Jesus wants us to share the power he shares with the Father and the Spirit—the power that made 70 trillion billion stars. Then learn how we're going to start unleashing that power through parish prayer gatherings and back-to-back Fathers' Day novenas. For Part 2, click HERE.

13 November 2020 | St. Didacus | Eugene, Ore. In the bleak ides of November, as Oregon prepares to lock down once again to stem the rising tide of covid cases, join me for some intellectual and spiritual respite as we talk about Edward III (the last of the history plays—for real this time), St. Didacus (patron of a large American city—you’ll never guess which one!) and the much-neglected virtue of patience. Also, you’ll get my thoughts, for better or worse, on the new two-week “Oregon freeze” order going into effect next week, from my perspective “in the trenches.” Save us, O Jesus!

Benedictine Ora et Labora – Work and Pray Do you enjoy Scripture reading, formal prayers of the Church and have the gift of hospitality? Benedictine spirituality may be for you. “The Benedictine answer to spirituality is the Scriptures, the scriptural way,” says Benedictine Father Jeremy Driscoll, monk at Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon and professor of patristics at Mount Angel Seminary. “Benedict tries to be nothing more and nothing less than Scripture at full throttle,” he explains. “To quote the holy rule: Let nothing be preferred to the work of God, which refers to the Divine Office. The center of Benedictine life is the gathering in the Church for the various hours of the praise of God in common.” -Structured Prayer -Very liturgical Franciscan Pax et bonum – Peace and the good Does the simple life attract you? Do you want to see all of life as gift and all creatures as united in Christ? Then look to St. Francis and the Franciscan Way. Franciscan spirituality is “very simple and very personal and very devotional,” explains Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., “Devotional [means] it is related to personal individual prayer to Christ and Our Lady and their presence in our life.” an “emphasis on simplicity, humility and care of the poor; it's not a complex spirituality.” -Finding God in nature -an emphasis on the good of creation more than the evil of sin Dominican Laudare, Benedicere, praedicare – The praise, to bless, to preach Do you love to study and have a passion for explaining the faith through writing and speaking? Then consider the Dominican way. “Dominican spirituality derives from the reality that anything that is true points to God the Creator, and therefore all learning, knowledge and understanding ultimately teaches us about God.” says Dominican Father Fred Lucci, director of the All Saints Newman Center at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz.  Dominican spirituality, is ultimately a path to God through the search for knowledge, contemplation of that knowledge for deeper understanding of the Divine and the joy of preaching that truth to the world.” -love of philosophy -love to teach (to share with others the fruits of your contemplation) Ignatian Ad maiorem Dei gloriam – For the greater glory of God Do you long to know the will of...

Inspired by Goethe's quote, “music is liquid architecture, and architecture is frozen music,” the Portland new music ensemble Third Angle will team up with the choir group Cappella Romana to transform one of Oregon's most famous buildings — one you might not even know exists — into an interactive soundscape.The Mount Angel Abbey library in St. Benedict, Oregon, is one of only two buildings in the U.S. designed by noted Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. From its facade, it looks like an unassuming, one-story structure on the edge of a hill. But as you enter, the building opens up like a giant fan, two floors spreading out in a big arc with each aisle radiating from the circulation desk. And despite the “Quiet” signs, it's no stranger to music: Duke Ellington and his orchestra played its opening in 1970.“We love context and we love telling stories,” said Ron Blessinger, the artistic director of Third Angle. “ We love the way that music can function at the center of all these disciplines and enrich the experience of a visual space.” Read the full story: http://www.opb.org/news/article/third-angle-and-cappella-romana-collaborate-to-merge-sound-with-architecture
