Non scholae sed vitae discimus.

CARAVAGGIO. St Jerome. 1606. Oil on canvas. Galleria Borghese, Rome.
"Not for school, but for life do we learn." This is always important to remember--nay, it is the sine qua non of education. Here we have the picture of a saint, who took pains to gives the Word of God in our common tongue. Let emulate St. Jerome, as we translate our passages of Holy Writ. After all, it wasn't until later in life that he found just how important his schooling would become, not merely for his own vocation but for the good of the Church and, I daresay, the world.

Agenda:
  1. Pater noster 
  2. Work in groups on Coriolanus Project
