The Eve of the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Candlemas)

Brigid of Kildare

O God, whose servant Brigid, kindled with the flame of your love, became a shining light in your church: Grant that we also may be aflame with the spirit of love and discipline, and walk before you as children of light; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Parishioner Jeremy Waldron is offering a series of three talks on human dignity, on Mondays, January 25 through February 8. In each session Professor Waldron will give a talk of about 30 minutes, with another 30 minutes or so available for discussion.

The topics are (Jan 25) Pico, Pope and Pinker (extracts from Pico della Mirandola, from John Paul II’s “Evangelium Vitae,” and from Stephen Pinker’s skeptical piece) — (Feb 1) “Kant on an Airplane” (extracts from Immanuel Kant on dignity, along with the German airliner case) — (Feb 8) Dignity, Dwarves, and Degradation (the French “dwarf-tossing” case as an example; other examples where ideals of dignity are used to prevent degradation including self-degradation)

For a packet of suggested readings, see Father Austin.
