Lenten reflections by our Superior General

-

The Superior General of my congregation, Frère Yannick, has been offering some very useful Lenten reflection material on his blog (see here). Each day he takes a quote from one of the day's Mass readings and links it to similarly-themed quotes from our Founder (Fr. Jean-Marie De La Mennais) and passages from other sources, including the writings of Pope Benedict XVI, suggesting a time of prayer with these texts as meditation material.

Here are the texts for yesterday's blog entry:

Wednesday 6th March
Deuteronomy (Dt 4: 1; 9): And now, Israel, listen to the laws and customs which I am teaching you today, so that, by observing them, you may survive… But take care, as you value your lives! Do not forget the things which you yourselves have seen, or let them slip from your heart as long as you live; teach them, rather, to your children and to your children's children.
Jean-Marie de la Mennais, (M, 86): "O my God, if we had faith! This lively faith, this animated faith that penetrates and almost hears the mysteries of heaven! This faith which sees the dawn of the eternal day! Abraham's faith! - O my God, give me faith! "
Benedict XVI (Porta Fidei): "Faith is a companion of life which can perceive with eyes always new the wonders that God is doing for us. Committed to understand the signs of the times today in history, faith encourages each of us to become a living sign of the presence of the Risen Lord in the world. "
Time of silence and meditation that everyone can do depending on the time he will have planned (5, 15, 30 minutes ...)
Let us pray: Lord let me remember the passages of your love in my life. Give me the grace to hear your voice through your Word received in the Church.  Grant that I may feed on it every day. Send your Holy Spirit in the heart of those who doubt so that they may find the height, width and depth of the Love that surrounds and calls them.
Our Father… Hail Mary…
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit…

District 9 - a sci-fi anti-apartheid allegory and the first handheld camera masterpiece?

Following on from yesterday's post, here's an interesting article from The Guardian film blog . District 9: Where aliens come to Earth and handheld comes of age District 9, the shock blockbuster produced by Peter Jackson, isn't just notable for its box office dominance and viral marketing campaign. It's also the closest thing to a handheld masterpiece that's yet been made Handheld on handholding … A still from District 9 Lars, time to break out that cigar. When Dogme 95 was brewing, I wonder if von Trier seriously thought his cin-emetic had any chance of influencing pop culture. With the release of sci-fi blockbuster District 9 , we have the answer: the handheld style has finally come of age. The setup - filmed in to-camera interviews with its pencil-neck protagonist, Wikus Van de Merwe, and intrepid Unsteadicam as he enters the extra-terrestrial township - is jarring in the very best way. And traditional complaints of motion sickness, migraine and general inner-ea

God You don't need me, but somehow You want me - Tenth Avenue North, “Control”

I sent the below message to my teaching colleagues in school this evening, braced as we are for the arrival of “those-who-shall-not-be-named” (i.e. OFSTED, national school inspectors) sometime between now and Easter. For those of you who live outside of Britain their job is to monitor and ensure high standards in all schools… the problem is that they keep moving the goalposts. Anyway, enough of that. Here’s what I said: I think that the attached video teaching is for us right now, to help us not lose sight of who we are and why we are here in a Catholic school. It's too late for the weekend just gone, but try to take on board its message of "wasting time for God" over the coming weeks, despite the pressures that we are all under. Even if you are not a believer yourself, give yourself some time alone with your thoughts, if you can… even just a few minutes.  The video teaching is by one of my favourite bands, Tenth Avenue North, and it accompanies a song of

Transcendent God

-
Over the past few months I have become much more aware of the beauty of the Grail translation of the Psalms that we use in Morning and Evening Prayer (Divine Office) - I will write more about this in the near future - and I am also finding that this has rubbed off on my attitude to the other prayers in the Office. For example, the following hymn that we prayed just over a week ago. The words struck me as if I was discovering them anew, and this after having prayed (or simply recited?) them at least once a month for about 25 years.  The optimism of the imagery struck me most forcefully and I love the idea of God hearing our prayer "before we call", i.e. as the paslmist says elsewhere "before ever a word was on my lips... you knew me through and through" (I paraphrase). See what you think yourselves... Morning Prayer of Sunday, week 3 Transcendent God in whom we live, The Resurrection and the Light, We sing for you a morning hymn To end the si
