Mary and the Liturgical Year : a Pastoral Resource
No full textIn Mary and the Liturgical Year: A Pastoral Resource, liturgical scholar and professor Katharine E. Harmon offers an engaging survey of Mary\u27s role in the Church\u27s liturgical prayer from the first days of the early Church to our own day. In this unique resource, Harmon examines the twelve prominent Marian solemnities, feasts, and memorials celebrated throughout the liturgical year. Pastoral ministers, theology students, and persons seeking to reflect on Mary as a source of wisdom and faith will discover the riches of Marian theology and will come to understand how Mary always leads us to a deeper and more intimate relationship with her son, Jesus. --From publisher\u27s websitehttps://digitalcommons.csbsju.edu/sot_books/1120/thumbnail.jp
Social Media, TV, and Pornography: How Media Influences Violence Against Women
No full textWe discuss how media can influence violence against women. For this, we examined social media, TV, and pornography. We reviewed past research and gained insight from fellow students and staff around campus. A quote from our podcast, describes it best - “Women are either fuckable or invisible.” This line depicts the problematic male gaze that is discussed throughout the podcast, and the trap women often feel in order to be acknowledged. Our peers shared their experiences with media with us, and how they see media’s messages affecting their lives
The Effect of Light Availability on Planktonic Communities under the Ice in Stumpf Lake
Get PDFIce cover is a part of the yearly cycle in bodies of water that are exposed to temperatures below the freezing point. Though the body of water is completely covered, many communities under the ice are still present and active during this time. I hypothesized that as the area cleared of snow increased, the increased light availability under the ice will cause a decrease in zooplankton abundance, as they avoid light and increase the chlorophyll concentration. Three different light availabilities were imposed on the ice by clearing three different sized areas of snow on the ice (0m, 1m and 2m). A hole was drilled in the middle of each area, a light measurement and a water sample from each treatment were collected. Data analysis suggested that there was a higher zooplankton abundance present in decreased light availability and increased chlorophyll concentration in increased light availability. This research can help contribute to the knowledge base as both ice cover and snowfall have been affected by climate change, particularly causing longer periods between times of ice cover or early ice-out. By understanding how ice cover phenology affects the planktonic communities under the ice, the potential effects climate warming has on these communities could be understood
Isaiah 7:10-25: The Climax of the Messianic Expectation
Get PDFIs there a man called Messiah who was promised by God? Did he come? Or will he come? Isaiah gave the most straightforward prophecy — Isaiah 7:10-25 — about him. Since then, a lot of efforts have been made to figure out Who is he? However, to acknowledge Jesus as the only fulfillment of the messianic expectation, a possibly correct interpretation is not enough. One also needs a leap of faith
Blessed, Broken, and Shared
Get PDFThis paper seeks to boldly confront the evils of racism while simultaneously pointing to a renewed baptismal ecclesiology and a praxis of radical communion as a way forward. Venturing into the unknown, we will persevere onward to the road less traveled by briefly charting the Catholic Church\u27s historical cooperation with White Supremacy. We will also celebrate the wisdom gleaned from Black and Latin American communities and their seemingly mundane yet deeply sacred rituals
