Beatrice continues in her scientific and Scholastic explanation for moon spots by taking apart a secondary argument . . . and proposing an optical experiment.She voices an objection Dante might have: perhaps there are dense bits behind the rare bits that reflect light as darker spots because those denser bits are farther off.To prove him wrong (although he hasn't said a thing), she asks him to set up an experiment with three mirrors.Problem is, he doesn't need three mirrors for this experiment. But he does need three if he wants to show that the universe is based on a trinitarian concept of God.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at one of the more surprising moments in PARADISO: the call for scientific experimentation (perhaps to prove a theological point).Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:13] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto II, Lines 85 - 105.

Beatrice begins her destruction of Dante's explanation for moon spots by taking apart his notion of dense and rare spots on the lunar surface . . . with a dizzying display of mixed metaphors.Her argument lofts to the highest visible heaven, the eighth sphere; then falls back into scholastic reasoning; and offering both experimental and poetic rationales for why he's wrong.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the first part of Beatrice's explanation for moon spots, predicated on the bass line of the incarnation.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:20] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto II, Lines 64 - 84. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation about this passage, find its entry at my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:27] Paraphrasing this difficult passage in Beatrice's argument about moon spots.[04:46] Lofting the argument to the eighth heaven, the highest part of visible creation (from Dante's perspective).[08:15] Offering diversity as complexity beyond a simple continuum for an answer.[12:31] Moving into experimental (or experiential) proofs for her argument (and implicitly for an understanding of the incarnation of Jesus).[15:13] Inspiring a dizzying vertigo through mixed metaphors to state the negative of her argument.[18:41] Rereading the passage: PARADISO, Canto II, lines 64 - 84.

Now that our pilgrim Dante is standing in the moon, he has a fundamental question: Why are there spots on the moon?And he thinks he knows the answer, right out of natural philosophy. They're caused by rare and dense material in the moon.He's asking a question for which he knows the answer, trying to play teacher's pet. But Beatrice is having none of it. She's ready to show him how he's not as smart as he thinks he is.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we begin our descent into some of the most complicated material in all of COMEDY.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:14] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto II, Lines 46 - 63.

Fr. Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the remarkable life and spirituality of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor of the Church—a mystic and contemplative who was also deeply involved in the political and Church affairs of his time. Known for his profound Marian devotion, St. Bernard even appears in Dante's Paradiso as the final spiritual guide who leads Dante through Mary toward his vision of God and eternity. Fr. Chris also highlights the powerful devotion associated with the Shoulder Wound of Christ, traditionally connected with St. Bernard. We are invited to contemplate the hidden suffering Jesus endured on His shoulder while carrying the heavy Cross for us. This devotion reminds us that following Christ means accepting our own crosses with faith and love, trusting that our suffering, united with His, can lead us closer to God and ultimately to the joy of eternal life.

After Dante's warning to his readers (or perhaps some of his readers), we return to the plot, ascending through the heavens to arrive at the moon . . . or really, in the moon.Dante and Beatrice find themselves inside this translucent pearl in the heavens.And in so doing, Dante proves the incarnation really happened . . . at least, if you accept that his journey really happened.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the first of several complex passages in the second canto of PARADISO.If you'd like to support this work, please consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:11] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, lines 19 - 45.

Our poet steps out of the shadows with an important message: "Go home."Because PARADISO is hard. Because we might get lost. Because we're not prepared.The stark address to all readers--or perhaps to a much more limited set of specialty readers--that opens Canto II is one of the most unusual moments in COMEDY.

Beatrice continues in her discourse about our natural instincts, making the bold claim that they can lead us to our natural ends . . . which are the good, not the catastrophic bad.Her Scholastic theology is tinted with poetic metaphors in a bold move to explain how the arrow, once shot, can deviate from its preordained track.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for the conclusion of Beatrice's first major discourse in PARADISO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:39] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, Lines 115 - 142.

Beatrice has answered Dante's first doubt, but he has another. He can't quite understand how he, maybe in his body, can make his way across the universe.She doesn't have a quick answer. Instead, she has a theory of how the whole universe works.Her answers are always bigger than his questions.And in this case, she brings him out onto the great sea of "to be" as he begins to sail into port.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the first part of her great schematic for the universe: its diverse order is a reflection of its unified creator.If you'd like to support this work, consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:14] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, Lines 94 - 114.

Our pilgrim finds everything doubled in brightness . . . because he's begun to fly up to the heavens, although he doesn't know it at first.He's too busy figuring out all that light . . . and listening to the music of the spheres.But Beatrice is there to set him straight and tell him that his ascent is faster than he could ever understand.She also redefines "home"--not the Italian peninsula, nor the Garden of Eden, but the highest heaven, where they're headed in this journey to the final vision.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we begin our flight among the planets and stars to head home.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[00:49] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, Lines 61 - 93.

Paradiso 17 by Hannah Lilith Assadi gets reviewed in all its literary fiction glory, by Beryl Eichenberger.

The plot gets underway in PARADISO.Our pilgrim Dante turns to Beatrice . . . who is paying him no attention. She's staring at the sun.So he does the same! He hasn't even left earth, yet the miraculous nature of his story is already in high gear.As is his understanding of the universe ahead of him.

Our poet moves from his scholastic and even (medieval) scientific opening of PARADISO into his invocation . . . to Apollo?This passage has often embarrassed Dante scholars who feel the need to excuse various pieces of it.But we can let those pieces stand as part of the polyvocality of the text.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we move back and forth from the Christian to the pagan as we walk through this second part of Dante's opening lines of PARADISO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:11] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, Lines 13 - 36.

From its opening lines, it's clear that PARADISO is not like what has come before in COMEDY. Dante seems to be renegotiating the terms of his poem, establishing a new voice, a new model, and a new methodology for who he will proceed.These opening lines are already packed with the sort of theological and philosophical stumbling blocks that make PARADISO a challenge, not just for a modern reader, but even for a medieval one.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we slowly walk throug the first twelve lines of what is assuredly the most imaginative canticle, PARADISO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:42] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, lines 1 - 12.

Paradiso Parade usher in the arrival of their lower-power indie rock single ‘c'mon automaton'.Dynamic indie rock trio paradiso PDE has officially announced the upcoming release of their anticipated new single, “c'mon automaton.”Serving as a gritty, high-energy transmission from the modern landscape, “c'mon automaton” explores the blurred lines and quiet surrenders of the digital epoch. The track blends the band's signature driving rhythms with fragmented, barrelled lyricism, delivering a low frequency tour de force wrapped in infectious indie rock hooks.

This week on Beers & Bible, we're in Romans 12:16–21, where Paul gets very practical about what Christian love looks like when life gets personal.How do we respond when we're wronged? Do we defend ourselves, get even, or trust God with justice? Paul calls believers away from pride, retaliation, bitterness, and vengeance—and toward humility, peace, mercy, and active goodness.We talk about the difference between vindication and vengeance, why Christians are called to pursue peace “as much as depends on you,” and what it means to overcome evil with good.

San Buenaventura Mt 23,8-12 23,8 En cuanto a ustedes, no se hagan llamar 'maestro', porque no tienen más que un Maestro y todos ustedes son hermanos. 23,9 A nadie en el mundo llamen 'padre', porque no tienen sino uno, el Padre celestial. 23,10 No se dejen llamar tampoco 'doctores', porque sólo tienen un Doctor, que es el Mesías. 23,11 El más grande entre ustedes será el que los sirva, 23,12 porque el que se ensalza será humillado, y el que se humilla será ensalzado». Doctor de la Iglesia, cardenal-obispo de Albano, ministro general de los Frailes Menores; nació en Bagnorea, en las proximidades de Viterbo en 1221; murió en Lyons el 16 de julio de 1274. Nada se sabe de los padres de Buenaventura salvo sus nombres: Giovanni di Fidanza y María Ritella. No está claro cómo se llegó a cambiar su nombre de pila, Juan, por el de Buenaventura. Se ha hecho un intento de encontrar el origen de este último nombre en la exclamación de San Francisco de Asís, O buona ventura, cuando se le trajo a Buenaventura de niño para ser curado de una peligrosa enfermedad. Este origen es muy improbable; parece basarse en una leyenda de fines del siglo XV. El propio Buenaventura nos cuenta (Legenda S. Francisci Prolog.) que cuando era aún niño se salvó de la muerte por medio de la intercesión de San Francisco. Ingresó a la Orden de los Frailes Menores en 1238 o en 1243; el año exacto es incierto. Es seguro que Buenaventura fue enviado de la provincia romana, a la que pertenecía, a completar sus estudios en la Universidad de París con Alejandro de Hales, el gran fundador de la Escuela Franciscana. Buenaventura disfrutó de especial veneración incluso durante su vida por su intachable carácter y por los milagros atribuidos a él. Fue Alexander de Hales quien dijo que Buenaventura parecía haber escapado a la maldición del pecado de Adán. Y la historia de Santo Tomás visitando la celda de Buenaventura mientras este último escribía la vida de San Francisco y encontrándolo en un éxtasis es bien conocida. «Dejemos a un santo trabajar por otro santo», dijo el Doctor Angélico mientras se retiraba. Cuando en 1434 los restos de San Buenaventura fueron trasladados a la nueva iglesia erigida en Lyon en honor de San Francisco, su cabeza se encontró en perfecto estado de conservación, estando la lengua tan roja como en vida. Este milagro no sólo movió al pueblo de Lyon a elegir a Buenaventura como su patrono especial, sino que también dio un gran impulso al proceso de su canonización. Dante, escribiendo mucho antes, había dado expresión a la opinión popular situando a Buenaventura entre los santos en su “Paradiso” y ninguna canonización fue nunca más ardiente o universalmente deseada que la de Buenaventura. Que su comienzo se retrasara tanto tiempo fue debido a las deplorables disensiones dentro de la orden tras la muerte de Buenaventura. Finalmente el 14 de abril de 1482, Buenaventura fue inscrito en el catálogo de los santos por Sixto IV. También puede interesarte: ¿Cómo podemos llegar a ser santos, amigos de Dios?

In this concluding chapter of our journey through Dante's Commedia, Dr. Junius Johnson and Fr. Wesley Walker are joined by Dr. Jonathan Juilfs to explore the radiant heights of Paradiso. The conversation centers on the idea that the third canticle is not a boring landscape of static perfection, but rather the very “point” of the entire project grounded in the medieval understanding of capacity and divine alignment. Endnotes: * Dr. Juilfs: * The Pearl* The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius * What Dreams May Come* Wesley: Little Gidding from Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot* Junius: * The Discarded Image by C.S.

Concluding our three-series on Dante, Fr. John and Fr. Jacob walk through the finale of Dante's Divine Comedy, the Paradiso. This "highlights reel" serves as an overview of the work for anyone every interested, but intimated by a poem of such stature. We hope it inspires a reading, as the poetry of Dante is truly inexhaustible. If you are interested in more, check out Fr. John's nine-part lecture series at Our Lady of Lourdes: https://www.youtube.com/@LourdesDenver/streams.

Hey there. We're going to pause our slow-walk for a couple of months as I get out from under chemotherapy. We've come to the end of PURGATORIO and it also seems natural that we rest a little before the big ascent ahead in PARADISO. Look for more announcements here, but let's plan on being back on our walk (or what will become our flight) in mid-summer. See you then!

While we are on a break, enjoy this episode from Season 2. Season 3 starts May 19!My son Jack is back as we discuss Paradiso, Jack's favorite part of Dante's Divine Comedy. I absolutely love getting to chat with him again (see a couple of earlier episodes linked below). We talk about why he loves Dante in general, and Paradiso in particular. Highlights include:Dante's bravery (or chutzpah!) in writing his poetry and scholarly works in Italian rather than Latin;Who Dante is for (spoiler--it's for YOU), and why (the title of this episode is a big hint!);How people of different ages see Dante in a different light;Why a map of Heaven is really hard to draw, especially compared to Hell and Purgatory.Jack wrote his thesis on part of the Divine Comedy, and he has a lot of experience in the classroom with Dante, so he brings a lot of his knowledge to expand on what we've been talking about for the last two weeks.This episode forms a kind of trilogy on Crack the Book: two weeks ago we discussed Inferno, and last week my friend Lisa and I covered Purgatorio. It's my hope that these three podcasts will inspire you to pick up your own copy of the Divine Comedy and jump in.Season 3 is coming May 19!

We've reached the end of our time on the great mountain of Purgatory . . . and in the great second canticle of COMEDY.Here are some final thoughts, an attempt to bring our time with this part of the poem to a close.Dante has worked hard to make PURGATORIO the hinge of his entire poem. Let's explore some ways it reflects back on INFERNO and looks ahead to PARADISO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:01] PURGATORIO is an inversion of INFERNO.[02:54] PURGATORIO is most human part of COMEDY.[04:34] PURGATORIO is a rehearsal of the structure of the New Testament.[07:29] PURGATORIO is a meta-commentary on the writing of INFERNO.[09:45] PURGATORIO is the end of one sort of poem and the beginning of another.[10:35] PURGATORIO ends with two unique creations by Dante.[12:01] Where do the souls go when they are lifted out of Limbo?[13:46] Why does PURGATORIO end with the virtue of purity?[15:48] Is the will truly the necessary, sufficient, and final cause of a soul's purgation?

Psychologist, behavioral geneticist and writer Kathryn Paige Harden joins co-hosts Jennifer Maritza McCauley and Whitney Terrell to discuss her new book, Original Sin: On the Genetics of Vice, the Problem of Blame, and the Future of Forgiveness. Harden talks about the chemistry of human behavior, how society has shaped its views of different communities, the relationship between hereditability and perceived responsibility, and how those opinions shift as science unlocks more mysteries of the human genome. She also reflects on how her Christian upbringing has influenced her thinking and considers what influence new genetic information might have on our legal system.

Matt is literally packing as this episode goes live. So who better to walk you through the last-minute Disney prep checklist than someone who is actively living it? We share the real things families forget before a Walt Disney World trip, including a few gems you only learn the hard way. In this episode, Matt and Chip go through their full pre-trip routine: checking dining reservations and canceling what you won't use before the fees kick in, verifying park hours that may have changed since you booked, checking the refurbishment calendar for any surprise closures, making sure Magic Bands are charged and linked, putting air tags on everything (yes, including the kids), and ordering groceries a few days in advance so they actually arrive before you do. They also cover the stuff nobody thinks to mention, like bringing your own straws, checking the weather close to departure, making sure all your devices are charged and updated, and the one room request tip that can genuinely improve your stay at any Disney resort Matt also explains how Animal Kingdom's extended hours completely shifted his strategy for this trip, and why checking park hours closer to your departure date can open up lightning lane options you didn't know you had. He walks through a specific example of how park hopping to Animal Kingdom in the evening could unlock rides that are totally tapped out at Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom by midday during spring break. **Chapters** 00:15 Why last-minute prep matters, especially for first-timers 00:46 Chip's number one thing he always forgets: the dog 02:36 Tip 1: Bring your own straws (paper straws at Disney are the worst) 03:44 Tip 2: Sunscreen and sunglasses (and why Matt buys both at Disney every time) 05:14 Chip's tip: car seat travel bags and how they double as an overflow bag 06:12 Stroller bags, travel logistics, and giving credit to the wives 07:10 Tip 3: Review your dining reservations and cancel what you won't use 07:37 How park hours changed Matt's entire trip strategy 08:18 Deluxe Evening Hours and after-hours events that sneak up on you 09:08 Set an alarm to cancel dining reservations or you will forget 09:36 Tip 4: Check what dining has opened up from recent cancellations 11:01 Why not having dining reservations can land you at Paradiso 37 14:14 Why park hours, Disney Springs hours, and show times matter more than you think 15:00 Lightning lane strategy when Hollywood Studios is tapped out at midday 16:39 Tip 5: Air tags on bags, car keys, and yes, the kids 19:31 Tip 6: Check the weather a few days out, not weeks out 20:27 Tip 7: Check the refurbishment calendar for last-minute closures 22:29 Tip 8: Order groceries a few days in advance, not the day of 23:32 What happens when groceries arrive while you're at Magic Kingdom 24:30 Tip 9: Cords, devices, and making sure everything is charged and updated 25:35 Headphones for the kids: wireless, charged, and not left at school 26:32 Same team, different roles: how Matt and Chip divide trip prep with their wives 27:54 Tip 10: Always make a room request before your trip ---
