Holy Week

“Lent is a penitential season…a time when men once put on hairshirts, sacrificing any hope of bodily ease for 40 days…(G.K.Chesterton) once said that St. Thomas a Becket wore a hair shirtunder his purple, so that the people might have the benefit of thepurple, and he might have the benefit of the penance…The modern hairshirt is the sum of the trials, annoyances and criticisms whichsurround one in the tense and nervous world of today…But the new hairshirt is always humbling…No man can be proud of the fact that heknows a bore, or that his car got stuck half an hour in traffic…Thetrouble is that most wearers of the hair shirt get no spiritualbenefit out of it…because they do not use their trials properly, theyhave the pain but miss the merit…Pain is sacrifice without the loveof God. Sacrifice is pain combined with the love of God. There isan enormous difference between the woman who diets and woman whofasts, although they both may lose 15 pounds. But one does it forthe sake of her body, and the other for the sake of her soul…perhapsif we examined our conscience we should discover that we ourselveswere the worst hair shirt out neighbor has to bear.”

-Archbishop Fulton Sheen in his essay “Modern Hair Shirt”

Genius of Women

We had so much fun planning this show and seeing it come together. (Jasmine was doing little dances at intermission, which is always a good sign. Karen has had a permanent smile on her face ever since the show started last night.) And what a great way to start - Genuine Imitation followed by some hilarious comedy. And then the acts just kept drawing everyone in . . . with laughter, with tears, with passion and energy, with melodies and harmonies, with thought-provoking messages. We are also thankful for all of the exceptional artwork that helped transform the space into a beautiful venue for displaying feminine genius in a variety of forms. We can definitely call this show a success - not just in its entertainment value but also in its conveying of our theme. Because of each of your unique contributions, we were able to highlight and celebrate the beauty and dignity of women. Additionally, we raised $300 for women in Uganda. Thank you again. We hope that you enjoyed this experience as much as we did.
