There was a time when I never paid much attention to cards. Any kind of cards: birthday cards, get well cards, welcome home cards, Christmas cards, whatever. Our community, as a community, sent a card out every year, of course. As a result, so few of us ever sent cards of our own. Instead, the group cards went out to everyone who was ever on a community list of any kind. But not to anyone. In particular to each of us, in other words.

As a young sister teaching school, Joan Chittister one evening came across the small book, Women and the Church, by Sr. A.M. McGrath, a Dominican sister and a Ph.D. historian and chair at the time of the history department at Rosary College. The book, published in 1976, is a piercing march through the church's historical attitudes about women, a mixture of deep history and polemic. Chittister read it in one sitting, and the book lined out a part of the path she took in advocating for women.

Nov. 6, the day after Election Day. It's morning — a cold, dark, empty morning. But it was never meant to be that way. And yet there's no sound of music coming down our side streets, no veritable gathering of a people on the brink of new life. Instead, there are only the memories of happy roars quieted and whispering now, "We will work and we will win!" And worse, there are no moments of deep delight, no fast-swelling cries of "And we're not going back!"It all disappeared that fast.

In God's Holy LightWisdom from the Desert Monastics by Joan Chittister Review posted October 10, 2024. Franciscan Media, 2015. 134 pages. Review written August 27, 2024, from a library book. Starred Review I don't remember what prompted me to check this book out, but I was happy I did. The chapters are short, and perfect for a quick read over breakfast to give you something to think about during the day.

I'm a news freak and everybody knows it: News first, breakfast next. What's happening to Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Palenstine, etc. It's a commitment. It's also heartbreaking, frustrating — and it's unreal. The morning I wrote this column for instance, I heard that there have been over a million casualties in the Ukraine-Russian debacle. So, who's winning? Who knows? Then I heard that the hostages are still underground in Gaza.

«El duodécimo principio de humildad consiste en que manifestemos siempre humildad en nuestro porte no menos que en nuestro corazón, de modo que sea evidente... ya sea sentados caminando o de pie». El duodécimo grado de humildad va directamente al meollo de la cuestión. Se lee directo y claro, sin equívocos, con certeza: "Manifestamos siempre humildad en nuestro porte no menos que en nuestros corazones, de modo que sea evidente...". La palabra operativa aquí es 'evidente'. Evidente.

No parece justo reírse de una afirmación tan sabia y solemne como el undécimo grado de la humildad de san Benito. Este principio dice que debemos "hablar suavemente y sin risa, seriamente y con modestia, breve y razonablemente, pero sin levantar la voz, como está escrito: 'Por pocas palabras se conoce al sabio'". Pero, sinceramente, ¿has visto u oído mucho de lo que dicen las personas importantes hoy en día —los políticos en particular— que sea "modesto, breve, razonable y apropiado"?

Pregunten a mis amigos, ellos lo saben: cuento historias todo el tiempo. Me encanta un buen chiste. Y me río mucho. Todo lo cual me proporciona algunos problemas serios al tratar de lidiar con el décimo grado de humildad sobre la risa y el humor. Ni les cuento al intentar explicárselo a otra persona. Peor aún, en este momento de la historia de Estados Unidos, intentar distinguir entre lo que es gracioso y lo que no lo es no es tarea fácil.
