"Baptism of Christ" by a Dutch Master (1510) via Wikimedia Commons
Welcome to UNIT 16. Here are a few notes for the week:
LITURGICAL NOTE: This is the first week of Ordinary Time (ordinal numbers 1, 2, 3, etc.). The spiritual emphasis in this season begins as a continuation of the joyous wonder of the epiphany (revealing) of Christ as we celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord and the wedding at Cana. The term "Epiphanytide," meaning Epiphany-time, is very fitting. We also enjoy the feasts of a number of wonderful saints, be sure to read some of their stories.
HEADMASTER'S OFFICE HOURS: Mr. Rolling's tutor times are changing this week. Check the Dashboard on Tuesday to see the new schedule.
POEM of the WEEK: "Latin Lullaby." Anonymous 13c. rendered in English by Thomas Walsh. Recited by Mr. Rolling.
Student and Instructor contributions for "Poem of the Week" are welcome (sung poetry is welcome, too). Send a message to Mr. Rolling with "Poem of the Week," and the title and author of the poem you would like to recite.
