Jacobum fratrem Domini.

GRECO, El. Apostle St James the Less.
1610-14. Oil on canvas. Museo de El Greco, Toledo

On May 1st, seven days ago, the Church celebrates the Feast Day of St. James the Less, or "James the Brother of our Lord." Many things might strike us about this El Greco portrait--the sad and fallen eyes, the tired posture, the almost shabby simplicity of dress, the typical cloak at an oblique angle across the saint. But such adornments are not accidental; rather, note how such things contrast with the almost Russian countenance of ponderous thought, the face of a man who spent not merely his adult years but his entire life with the Lord.

Today in Latin we are finishing our study of the "Fall of Rome," which is of course our final period of study in our survey of classical history.

Agenda:

1. Pater noster
2. Study for a bit. 2 mins. 
3. Vocab Quiz: Cap X
4. Begin reading Cap X. When everyone is done with the quiz, you may read together in pairs. Work quietly, though, and as unto the Lord. 
5. HW Review:
1. Study for the Final by reviewing and memorizing the Latin Charts and by knowing Cap X grammar.
2. Study Present Tense Verb System
3. Get your chant on! The Endless Noun Ending Song
4. Este perfecti!
