The Miracles Of St. James

March 25th, 1347 Saint Catherine was born in Italy. St Catherine is the patron of firefighters, illness, miscarriages, nurses and sick people. During her life, St Catherine herself suffered illness' leading her to be the patron as apparent. At the age of 16, St Catherine had previously disregarded marriage, as she envisioned mystical experiences seeing guardian angels, transforming her into a brilliant minded young woman even though she was not supported with formal education.

In “Under the Feet of Jesus,” Helena Maria Viramontes incorporates the use of selection of detail, figurative language and tone to develop Estrella’s character. Viramontes uses these literary devices in order to break down Estrella’s character from an angry person into a more calm and collected individual. Viramontes uses the selection of detail and tone to develop Estrella’s character. Viramontes describes Estrella as angry. “She became very angry… foreign as the alphabet she could not decipher…

Raymond of Aguilers on the fall of Jerusalem, is a first-hand account on the siege of Jerusalem which reveals an insight into the war-tactics of the Christians, the overall violence of the event that took place, and the religious fanaticism of the Crusaders. While the text supplies many details on these features, from the perspective of Raymond of Aguilers, a chaplain who participated in the event,1 this paper will argue that the text overall is inaccurate as a historical account, and rather simply an exaggerated interpretation of what occurred. Based on the notion of the Crusader’s superiority as Christians, and the belief that their actions were sanctioned by God2 this paper will attempt to prove that the description is un-objective and biased.

“‘You have no passion. You are not going to make it… I can say to you that the state championship is a month and a day away…”’ (Wojnarowski 227). This what Coach Bob Hurley said to his somewhat deflated St. Anthony Friars in The Miracle of St. Anthony. The Friars were undefeated at this point in the season but there seemed to be a lack of energy in the team with the New Jersey State Championship looming. Because of this, Hurley would give a speech that would bring the team back together for an undefeated championship season. I could relate to this because this summer my sailing team was in a similar situation with the Maine State Championship Regatta just a few weeks a away. My coach gave a very similar speech to Hurley’s which also brought our team together. As a result the team did very well in the state championship.

The St Marys Saints caused a minor upset when they toppled the Peninsula Seagulls 38-22 in the Sydney Shield second Qualifying Final at Campbelltown Stadium last Sunday.

When I was reading the book Jesus Made in America by Stephen J. Nicholas, I came across a very interesting chapter titled “Jesus on Vinyl”. This chapter discussed in detail the state of the use of Jesus in contemporary music from the 1950s up to the current times. Back 3in the 1950s there were contemporary artists who putting out albums of hymns, like Johnny Cash’s Hymns of Johnny Cash. Not surprisingly, the most significant time for Christian gospel music was during the hippie era in the 1960s. During that time, gospel, youth, and music had merged together into songs that preached about Christ and love. Many people became Christians during that time to protest the ongoing war in Vietnam so it would make sense that they would start to make that a main topic in the music of that time.

“Under the Feet of Jesus” is a novel by Helena Maria Viramontes, which is about an immigrant little girl who has trouble learning from educators that only pay attention to her physical dirty appearance. Estrella is the main character of this excerpt and she is introduced as someone who is angered for not knowing or learning as she should. In the beginning, Estrella was filled with rage from being denied the information she longed to know. After only receiving attention about her looking as if she did not bathe, Estrella cane to the realization that words can be very cruel. Eventually, Estrella met Perfecto Flores, who actually sat and explained to her the names and functions of certain tools which made Estrella understand the essential essence

Reading The Miracle of St. Anthony has really changed my perspective on team leadership. Coach Hurley, coach of the basketball team stated to his team that we’re about guys giving up individual stuff for the greater good of the team. To me that means that working together is better than working by yourself and more success will come out if you're out getting help. There has been times where I’ve had to work alone multiple times and working with others is a lot better because you get a lot of more things done quicker unlike working alone which can be a slow process. The Miracle of St. Anthony helped me with not taking any shortcuts.

What would one say if they were told that a hippopotamus’s milk is pink? First, they would likely disagree, and argue the validity of this fact. The process in which a person is skeptical about something is known as doubt. Doubt is a natural instinct that helps humans keep themselves out of trouble or away from dangerous situations, but if one lives in a constant state of doubt they can miss out on countless opportunities. Between the years of 1601 and 1602 a painter by the name Caravaggio created the dramatic painting The Incredulity of Saint Thomas. This painting plays an important role in creating a vivid image of what doubt is. Doubt is the reasoning for why people will and will not do things.

Baptism of Christ is a painting created by Francesco Albani from 1630 to 1635. ("Baptism of Christ - Francesco Albani - The Athenaeum." Baptism of Christ”). In this painting there is an image of the baptism of Christ and all of its surroundings. The reason for the creation of this portrait, is because Francesco Albani was influenced by the Council of Trent during the time he created this painting. The painting has a description of what seems to look like a half-naked person who is surrounded by what looks like a body of water and has another person pouring some type of liquid on top of his head. This image is the center importance of the peace because it’s what’s closer to the audience and doesn’t fade into the background.

Religious leaders conflict to show how much the natives struggled to preserve their way of life. The natives struggled a lot after the Europeans arrived to keep their way of life. After the French arrived in Martinique, they expected the natives to adapt their culture. “After they arrived…we didn’t like how they live” (Cesaire 273). The characters express their views on adapting a foreign culture. This has since cause a lot of controversy and lots of protesting. The poem by Aime Cesaire, the characters get involved in violent riots in an attempt to overthrow the regime of the French colonist. “We were ready…the streets looked like the gateway to hell” (Cesaire 274). By using visual imagery, the authors demonstrates how violent the riots get against the religious leaders to keep them from spreading the new culture. After all of the failed attempts, the missionaries wrote scripts and spread them among the natives that were on the middle grounds on the religious issue. “Elias was the first one…soon many followed” (Cesaire 273). The authors says how one after another, all of the natives slowly began to convert into

The work of art that I have chosen to write about, is the Three Miracles of Saint Zenobius (1500-10). This painting is part of a bigger collection that depicts scenes from the life of Saint Zenobius. It’s sister pieces are spread out in different parts of the world, such places as, London, Dresden and New York itself. The painter of this entire collection is Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) and he belongs to the Early part of the Renaissance. It is worth to note, that Botticelli was taught by Filippo Lippi. Fra Filippo Lippi was a prominent artist of his time and he painted his work with great color and as well with a narrative quality. Botticelli himself made a name for himself by his artistic style and to his contribution to painting the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel and even though his most notable work of art was the Birth of Venus that was created eighteen years prior to the Three Miracles, this piece of work takes a different approach than his other paintings. The painting itself resembles the Scenes from the life of Saint John the Baptist (1490/95) and it could be said that Botticelli was inspired by it.

In the book, The Proslogion, written by Saint Anselm, we find the Ontological Argument. This argument made by Saint Anselm gives us proofs that he believes helps prove the existence of God. Anselm gives many reasons as to why the simple understanding of God can help prove that God himself exists, as well as mentioning how the idea of God cannot be thought not to exist. Though this argument has been looked at by people such as Guanilo, a monk, whose response to Anselm 's proofs was trying to say that there were flaws, there are more reasons as to why Anselm 's proofs work well with his argument. From the understanding of God existing, and the idea behind greatness Anselm 's argument is one that is strong and can work as a proof when trying

Throughout the book of John, Jesus did many signs and miracles. Through these signs, Jesus attempted to show both the multitudes as well as his disciples one small truth about Him—His is God. In this gospel, Jesus goes toe-to-toe with many of the Jewish spiritual leaders (i.e., Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, etc.) in order to show the people who He truly is. Scholars disagree with how many Messianic signs Jesus performed, but one thing remains—every single sign pointed back to the fact that Jesus was who He claimed to be. The signs performed by Jesus show both the Israelites of old, as well as the people of today, that He is, indeed, God.
