No dispensation for this Friday (St. Joseph) is needed: "That the general law of abstinence from meat on Fridays (c. 1251) does not bind on "solemnities" (like the Solemnity of St. Joseph, per c. 1246.1 and the Gen. Norms for the Lit. Year and Calendar) is so obvious that few commentaries bother to say "If the Solemnity of St. Joseph falls on a Friday, even in Lent, one need not abstain from meat."

A Tale of Two Cities Review

In our British Lit. class, we've just finished review for our A Tale of Two Cities Test this Thurs. by watching the classic 1935 film.  "I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."  

The Getty Villa

On Thursday, our Latin class took an all-day field trip to visit the Getty Villa in Malibu.  The weather was clear and beautiful, and we had a lovely view of the Pacific from the Villa Gardens.  I was very impressed by how the students deported themselves.  They showed both maturity and enthusiasm.  Perhaps this will become an annual event?
