The Religion of the Day cover

The Vocation of the Catholic University Professor

Cover of “The Vocation of the Catholic University Professor”

一所天主教大学应该邀请学生进入一个深刻的思想转变的社区. 它的气氛充满了圣奥古斯丁(Saint Augustine)在真理中的喜悦(gaudium de veritate). Just there, in a classroom or laboratory at the end of the hallway, is to be found the “stupor” or astonishment of mind of Dante’s Convivio. There are many ways for this conversion to happen, but it simply will not happen without the teaching faculty. They are the lifeblood.

Valerian Paczek: Priest, Soldier, Quiet Hero

Cover of Valerian Paczek: Priest, Soldier, Quiet Hero

Fr. Valerian Paczek’s tombstone is simple, without any words of praise. 他在《立博中文版官网》上的讣告只简短地提到了他的从军经历. “He served in the Polish Army from 1935 to 1945, and in the English Army from 1945 to 1950 as a Senior Chaplain.” That’s all there is in print: no mention of prisoner camps, battles, rank or medals. Yet it is the way he would have wanted it. With hindsight, we can say it summarizes his life: A priest, a soldier, and a quiet hero.
