Liz Sully OP

SinsinOP this morning reported that Liz fractured her pelvis not her hip and is recuperating in hospital. Although a fractured pelvis is not good news, I would think that it is better than a fractured hip.

Prayers for her recovery

to me

Dominican artists,

INAI is Dominican preaching at its best. Barbara Chenicek, OP and Rita Schiltz, OP have expressed in sacred spaces what Vatican II sought to express in its amazing and spirit filled documents, (documents that were greatly influenced by Dominican theologians MD Chenu, Yves Congar and others).  I will never forget the day I entered the newly renovated Dominican Chapel in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Its silent, beauty embraced me as I walked from the transition space at the entrance that guided me to the door that opened onto a journey of letting go into a sacred space of “what was deleted and what was included,” as Barbara and Rita put it.  It was a sacred place where I was being invited to delete things in myself so as to be welcomed and included in a space where I could encounter the holy.  

I began to notice the many details that together took part in the whole composition.  It was the exquisite beauty of unadorned walls that first struck me.  Angles and plaines created both communal liturgical space and private intimate spaces.  I noticed the neutral colors that allowed the brilliant greens in the large tapestry hung to celebrate summer.  Gentle movement of outdoor greens softly filtered through the translucent windows.  And I noticed my tears as I sat in the silence to receive the Word of God. where the place itself was sacred Dominican preaching. 

If you haven’t been to this chapel, it’s well worth your time to make a pilgrimage there.  Well done Rita and Barb.  I look forward to seeing the Great Bend, Kansas chapel at the DIA conference in 2015.

For more on Rudolf's dad.

Rudolf Lowenstein's Father's name

Dear All,

thank you for that. I do appreciate it...

My father always used his name and title - so he was known as Prince Rupert Loewenstein (or if you want the full name, Prince Rupert zu Loewenstein Wertheim Freudenberg).

Given that I am a friar, I usually just keep to fr Rudolf when being formal and (as most of you all know me) Rudolf. The formal side of things I did not really inherit!!!

love,

Rudolf

Note: Funeral is next week. His brother will preside at the Tridentine mass and Rudolf will preach. It was his father's request to have the Tridentine Mass.
