For my Lonergan friends,
Can anyone tell me what happened to the Lonergan Studies Newsletter?
That was a great endeavour and very helpful product.

On Nov 11 ‘25 I became a Canadian citizen, swearing an oath of loyalty to … KING CHARLES!! 🧐
I am a proud Texas native, Bostonian, and believer in the US Constitution. I pray for peace in my homeland.
But it sure feels good to call Canada—magnificent, honourable Canada—my new home!!

Charles Hefling painted this illumination (featured on the cover of Jeremy Wilkins' excellent Before Truth) for Bernard Lonergan's birthday in 1980. It depicts the "O sapientia" antiphon sung during evening prayer on Dec 17th (since the 8th century).
Happy birthday, Bernie. Ora pro nobis.

Something you might notice in the gospels if you keep an eye out for it is how often Jesus is very nearly seized and killed in the street. Several times he narrowly escapes, until he very famously doesn’t.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

The Blue Jays were the true winners this season. Their heart and team spirit are unmatched in baseball and any other sport. Minor league players became stars. Stars became superstars. Thank you for the memories, the fun and the great season of incredible baseball! #BlueJays
