Posted in Bonaventure, Latin on May 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For just as a song is made by a multitude of united voices in a certain proportion and sweet harmony, so too out of the affection of many comes a spiritual harmony, pleasing to the Most High. Sicut enim ex multitudine vocum unitarum secundum quandam proportionem et harmonium dulcedo cantus fit; sic ex multorum affectione harmonia [...]
Philippians 2:7-8

But it has some classic marks of a patristic work: the [...]

Pascal’s Vision
Posted in Blaise Pascal, French on March 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), a brilliant soul who contributed both to the birth of modern science and Christian philosophy, is said to have undergone an intense, convicting vision. He describes it in these words in his Mémorial, apparently written to himself: The year of grace 1654, Monday, the 23rd November, the day of St. Clement, pope [...]
