Bis das Kloster klingt!PalmsonntagAm Palmsonntag feiern wir den triumphalen Einzug von Jesus in Jerusalem. Die Menschen jubeln ihm zu mit Palmzweigen in den Händen. Wenige Tage später ist der Jubel verflogen, die Begeisterung der Menschen für Jesus hat sich in Hass und Gleichgültigkeit gewandelt. Sie verlangen die Kreuzigung. Schaulustige begleiten Jesus auf seinem Weg nach Golgotha.

Bis das Kloster klingt!Kunst ist reden mit GottAm 11. Februar 1869 wurde Elisabeth Schüler in Elberfeld, einem heutigen Stadtteil von Wuppertal, geboren. Während ihrer glücklosen Ehe mit dem Arzt Jonathan Lasker entdeckte sie ihre schriftstellerischen Neigungen. In ihren gefühlsbetonten Werken befasst sich Else Lasker-Schüler mit den Themen Liebe, Familie und Religion, schafft mystische Traumwelten, in denen sie christliche, alttestamentarische und orientalische Elemente vereint. Sich selbst stilisierte sie zur Herrscherin erfundener Legenden, in denen ideale Vorstellungen im Spannungsverhältnis mit realen politischen und persönlichen Lebensumständen stehen.

Owen Carroll as we sound the depths of the first question of the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas. Is Sacred Doctrine a science? If so, a science of what? We find in St. Thomas a vision of 'sacra doctrina' as the science of God and the Blessed—a deeply societal, intensely personal, and supremely joyous way of knowing.
