Lessons from Loyola Hall

A technique used in film, breaking the fourth wall, can be a powerful way to deliver a line. In this weekend's gospel story, Healey imagines Mary breaking the fourth wall during the first miracle of Jesus. How does this visual help to convey the importance of the story?

As a teacher of second-semester seniors, Mr. Healey is often the last formal teacher of religious education these students will have. What better Theological pillar to study than the mission and Paschal Mystery of Jesus himself?

In a world into which God chose to send His son, Jesus Christ, can any time really be ordinary? Yet as the Church turns the calendar to Ordinary Time, as Mr. Healey explains, perhaps no other name could be quite as fitting.

This weekend brings the Epiphany of the Lord, and with it the story of the Three Wise Men. As Mr. Healey explains, the names, origins and symbolism behind this trio of important figures tells us much about our God and the ways we can respond to our encounters with Him.
