Conferences #93 – Fr James McCurry opens the Newman-Scotus Symposium ( 11min) >>> Play
Ave Maria!
Fr James McCurry gives an inspirational welcome and introduction to the Newman-Scotus Symposium at the Washington Theological Union on Oct 22, 2010. He reads a warm letter of encouragement from Friar Marco Tasca, OFM Conv., the Minster General of the Conventual Franciscans from Rome, asking the participants to energetically uncover, for all the world to see, the common intellectual treasure that these two holy and eminent British scholars share, centered on the Absolute Primacy of Christ and the primacy of Love. He reflects on the Pope’s words at the very recent beatification of Newman in Birmingham, England where he mentions Newman’s motto “Cor ad Cor Loquitor“, “Heart speaks unto Heart” where God and man speak heart to heart. Fr. McCurry mentions the equivalent starting point for Scotus’ theology where “God wills to love. God wills to be loved. God willed to have co-lovers of himself” and so he created the world and man with the goal of the incarnation via Mary Immaculate. He ends by reciting a prayer to Our Lady written by Bl. John Cardinal Newman to give us protection and the purity of heart and mind to be good and wise Christians.

On our trip for the March for Life in 2009, Father Angelo Mary Geiger, brought us to this beautiful Monastery. It is a must see if you ever visit D.C.. It is the closest place to the Holy Land we have here. The interior along with the grounds of the Monastery are beautiful.

Ave Maria!
So our Roving Reporter landed another big fish when he was given this interview yesterday by Fr Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, at the Liaison Hotel in downtown DC. Fr Frank Pavone heads up the annual March for Life with his group from Silent No More and this year they had not only a record number of participants for Silent No More in the March, but we’re sure it was a record number of participants in the March itself – Fox News estimated over 300,000!!!
