Church Fathers

I go to Corpus Christi Catholic Church In Macon Mississippi. The congregation here is heavily populated by those of the Hispanic Ethnicity. One of my fellow youth members, named Brisa Chora, is currently age fourteen. She is rapidly approaching her fifteenth birthday which is on April the twentieth. At Mass this past week, Brisa stood up during the allotted time for announcements and told all of the parishioners of her upcoming Quinceanera. She told us that for her party, that will be on on…

Carl wasn't a church-goer but he strongly supported religious tolerance. When Carl's first son stated he wanted to be a Christian missionary Gauss immediately approved. His first wife Johann Osthoffpassed away in 1807 following the death of his son Louis. Gauss went into…

parents were unmarried and left her with her maternal grandmother. At age 6 she was sent to live with her mother at a very poor and dangerous neighborhood. Then at age 12 she was sent to live with her father in Nashville, Tennessee. While she was there she did speeches at a local gathering or at her church. At one of her speeches she made $500, and that was when she knew she wanted to be paid to talk. Oprah, again, was called back to live with her mom. The bad environment had effect on her…

The Beginning Years of a Leader Almost right out of her mother’s womb Ellen Johnson receives affirmation of her purpose in this world. In her memoir, she tells a story told to her by her mother. In it an old man visiting her parents, looks at her and with a peculiar expression turns to Ellen’s mother and says, “Oh Martha, “This child shall be great. “This child is going to lead” (Sirleaf, 7). Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had a good life growing up in Monrovia, much different from her parents who…

fascinating about Bruno is that he maintains the conversation instead of getting annoyed of his pessimistic father. He pulls out a piece of a paper and a pencil to write down what their budget plan would look like if they could find the bicycle. In this scene, Bruno plays the role of Antonio, where he presents himself as a man of perseverance who is unhindered by the challenges of life. When his father gets into a fight with a suspect and harassed by a group of people, he brings a police to…

make it down to the front of the church to pray for forgiveness. I never understood the depth of forgiveness until I had to go through it myself. I think that is my greatest accomplishment: my ability to forgive no matter what the issues around me are. Additionally, when I needed my mother the most, she was not there. I had never imagined that I would forgive her. I was 16, pregnant, and I had just gotten the crap beaten out of me again by the biological father. My mother was dating a guy…

family is a white middle-class family. They identify as having mostly German heritage but display no strong ethnic ties. The family indicated that they have never experienced discrimination or oppression of any kind. The social worker observed that the father sat at the head of the table opposite of the social worker. Mrs. Ross sat to his right next to her daughter Angela and the two boys sat across the table, opposite the women. All the members of the family are heterosexual. Bill Ross is…

As many things do, the story of Young Arthur has extremely evolved from the late 1500s to the story we hear now. In many of the versions you hear the story twisted to conform to the themes of the society at the time. For example, in one of the earlier versions Le Morte D’Arthur there is a clear focus on religion;however, when you look at a later work like The Youth of Sir Arthour it glorifies the war that allowed King Uther to capture Igraine. The different versions of the Young Arthur’s…

in the well. The man now looks at us with true authority and asked, “Who do you say that I am?” My brother John answers, “They say you are Moses reincarnated.” One of my other brothers answered, “You are John the Baptist and some even say you are father…

generally in the governmental change of the “French Revolution”, in which the customary various leveled political and social requests (the French government, the benefits of the French respectability, the political force and power of the “Catholic Church”) were brutally pulverized and supplanted by a governmental and communal request educated by the Enlightenment goals of opportunity and correspondence for all, established, heaps of human purpose. The Enlightenment starts with the experimental…
