Francis X. Clooney, S.J
In 2017, the Catholic Theological Society of America honored Francis X. Clooney, S.J., with the prestigious John Courtney Murray Award for a lifetime of theological achievement. As he accepted the award, Clooney said, "I had to find a way to be a Catholic theologian and take seriously this vast other world of Hinduism . . . I've had to invent the field to do the work I wanted to do." Hailed as a founder of modern comparative theology, "a discipline distinguished by attentiveness to the dynamics of theological learning deepened through the study of traditions other than one's own," Clooney is the Parkman Professor of Divinity and Professor of Comparative Theology at Harvard Divinity School. Before joining the Harvard faculty, he taught for more than 20 years at Boston College.
Clooney's countless books and articles include studies of the Sanskrit and Tamil traditions of Hindu India as well as pioneering forays into comparative theology. Among his recent publications are Comparative Theology: Deep Learning across Religious Borders (2011), His Hiding Place Is Darkness: A Hindu-Catholic Theopoetics of Divine Absence (2013), and Learning Interreligiously: In the Text, in the World (2018).

THREE Opportunities for Sacred Pauses THIS week!
Tuesday: Rosary Night: 8:30PM
The Rosary is a wonderful meditative prayer. It settles our hearts and minds. It puts things in perspective and allows us to see things as they really are. Rosarys and directions will be provided!
Wednesday: Mid-week Mass, 12:30PM
This Mass is shorter than a Sunday Mass, only about 25 minutes! What a wonderful way to find balance and spiritual nourishment in the middle of your busy week!
Thursday: Stations of the Cross, 8:30PM
This traditional Lenten prayer is a powerful way to enter into the mystery of Jesus' gift of himself to us.
Each of these opportunities for quite and reflection will take place in Linehan Chapel.
Come again or for the first time!
