At the Feet of a Master

Cardinal Prosper Grech, OSA
"If you wish to hear something good, sit down..." And with that, we were off for another session with our second week instructor, Cardinal Prosper Grech, OSA. This man is a skilled teacher - taking up pieces of a puzzle and helping us see how they all fit together - slowly, with purpose, and a dab of humor.  Never mind that he's 89 years old; his story-telling is clear and his accompanying sketches are something to behold. Today's topic was Augustine's interpretation of the Beatitudes...and in the future, the Our Father. Along the way we've discussed "What is the meaning of meaning?" "How does one argue for the value of the Old Testament?" "How do we interpret text?" Yikes. My head is swimming - but I can hardly wait for tomorrow.
