Late September and early October are “high season” for many of the programs pertaining to the operation of the School. And so this past weekend, board members and alumni arrived, providing a full and blessed slate of activity for the monastic community.
Abbot Michael offered this homily for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, which coincided with the School’s Reunion Weekend. He navigates the difficult roles of Eldad and Medad in the Book of Numbers, the casting out of demons in the Gospel of Mark, and the application of these lessons in our own lives.
In this talk given here September 28, 1973, the author Daniel Sargent asks us to consider “Galloping Time” – in a perhaps ironic and unanticipated way. He gallops back to 1919 and his first encounter with Leonard Sargent. And we now “gallop” back 50 years, returning to the publication of his talk in the Winter Bulletin of 1974, to relive the moment as if it were yesterday.
