The Dominican Nuns of the Monastery of Mary the Queen in Elmira, NY have invited me to give a series of lectures this coming weekend. (I will also endeavor to teach them to fry chicken and bake biscuits.)
They are sponsoring several lectures on the Nicene Creed for broader distribution to other OP monasteries.
I am lecturing on ". . .the resurrection of the dead. . ." This is going to be a wonderful trip! Please pray for me and the sisters as we plumb the depths of Mystery this weekend.
Speaking of Mystery. . .I could use the four books on my Wish List that deal with Thomas' metaphysics. Not only to help me get a better grasp for the sake of better grasping but also to be of more use to my students.
I have to beg at least once a week, or Tom will revoke my license.
Fr. Philip, OP
Dear Father,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time at the monastery and we'll enjoy listening to the lectures later on when we get our copy!
