Lectura Dantis...And You!

Tonight is Dante Night, but we are reading St. Augustine right now (on Free Will), then Virgil, then I am going to harangue the group about the ars nova period and then we will probably wind our way back to the Dark Wood, where we will again lose our way and require the Cosmic lifeguard.

I highly recommend doing this in your own parish. Our lecura dantis is made of a couple of professors, an Ignatius Press editor, a mayoral candidate, a high school teacher, a few students, a priest, a couple of artists, and a public transit administrator. We meet every week, discuss the reading (for the Divine Comedy, we stuck to 3 canti a week), get into heated arguments, drink tea and coffee, and go our merry ways.

It is a great way to spend an evening.
