REFLECTION

God of all seasons, we thank you for Autumn.
We thank you
for the touch of coolness in the air that gives us a new burst of energy,
for the coloring of trees that shows the creativity of the Divine Artist,
for the falling leaves that reveal the strength of the branches,
for the hues of fields that bring peace to our souls,
for the smiles on pumpkins that bring joy to children,
for the fall harvest that brings us gratitude for the bounty of our land,
for this change of seasons that reveals the circle of life.
God of all seasons, as you transform the earth, transform us by your Spirit.
Amen.
— Rev. Doug Leonhardt, SJ (From Marquette University Faith at Marquette)

Please join us for a panel discussion on the life, work, and education of Fr. John W. O'Malley, S.J., and his new memoir, The Education of a Historian: A Strange and Wonderful Story.
"In this autobiographical memoir, John W. O'Malley recounts how his life-story is unintelligible apart from his craft as an historian and from the passion his craft inspired. The narrative is the straightforward story of how a young man of modest background from a small town in Ohio achieved international eminence as a historian of the religious culture of modern Europe. In some detail, therefore, this book tells how four of the twelve monographs that O'Malley published during his career had field-changing influence: Praise and Blame in Renaissance Rome (1979), The First Jesuits (1993), Trent and All That (2000), and What Happened at Vatican II (2008). The book is, however, much more than a tedious review of scholarship. It teaches the reader lessons in historical method and lessons in what good history does for us. They are lessons easy to digest because they are taught not by abstract principles, but by following a historian in action as he learns in fits and starts how to interpret the past in ways that do less injustice to it than other ways." (from SJU Press, publisher of The Education of a Historian: A Strange and Wonderful Story)
Joining Fr. O'Malley in this conversation will be Prof. James Keenan, S.J. (Canisius Professor, Boston College), Prof. Peter Phan (Ellacuria Chair, Georgetown University), and Prof. David Collins, S.J. (Associate Professor of History, Georgetown University).
Introductory and welcome remarks will be offered by Georgetown's Vice President for Mission & Ministry, Fr. Mark Bosco, S.J., and the President of Georgetown University, Dr. John J. DeGioia.
This event will be held in person in Dahlgren Chapel of the Sacred Heart on Main Campus. If you are not a GU student, faculty, or staff person - and you wish to attend this event in person - you are required to complete Georgetown's COVID-19 Vaccination Attestation by submitting your proof of vaccination via the online portal, and completing a day-of form, the confirmation of which will need to be shown at the entrance to Dahlgren Chapel for entry.

The Ignatian Year - Jesuit Higher Education 05/21/2021

On the 20th of May, 1521, Ignatius of Loyola was struck in the leg by a cannonball in the Battle of Pamplona—an event that would forever change his life. This year, as we celebrate that 500-year anniversary of Ignatius’s ‘cannonball moment,’ we are called to reflect on the purpose of our own lives, how we make and find meaning with and among others, and how we—like Ignatius—might live more fully into God’s dream for each of us.
