This coming Tuesday, September 27th, is the feast of Saint Vincent de Paul. I am very grateful for the involvement and generosity of so many of our faithful who reach out to the hungry and the poor through their parishes, food pantries and soup kitchens, Catholic Charities, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, the Christ Child Society, etc. Right here in our own diocese, we must not ignore the Lazaruses at our door. Our support of CRS is a way to reach out to the Lazaruses in poor areas of the world. These efforts are also extremely important since war and violence are so often causes of hunger, poverty, and homelessness. Catholic Relief Services also has many peace-building programs in troubled areas of the world. CRS’s efforts in agricultural development and its investment in helping local communities to make best use of resources, to have the necessary resources in technology, to have adequate irrigation systems, and to gain access to the market are having a great impact in many poor countries. This work involves not only providing food in emergency and crisis situations, but also addressing the problem of food insecurity from a long-term perspective. As a member of the Board of CRS, I have learned a lot about its work to fight world hunger. It is way to reach out to the Lazaruses at our doors. Feed the hungry, Pope Benedict XVI wrote, “is an ethical imperative for the universal Church, as she responds to the teachings of her Founder, the Lord Jesus, concerning solidarity and the sharing of goods” (Caritas in veritate, 27).Ĭatholics Confront Global Poverty is an initiative of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services. So many are sitting outside the doors of nations that are indifferent to their plight.Īlmost fifty years ago, Blessed Pope Paul VI spoke of the campaign against hunger in these words: “It is a question of building a world where every person can live a fully human life… where the poor man Lazarus can sit down at the same table with the rich man” (Populorum Progressio 47). I think particularly of the millions of refugees in the world today, innocent victims of war who have lost their livelihoods and their homes. There are still many Lazaruses in our world, here and abroad, who are hungry and too often ignored. He said that this parable “must always be present in our memory it must form our conscience.” He said: “We cannot stand idly by, enjoying our own riches and freedom, if, in any place, the Lazaruses of the twentieth century stands at our doors.” These words are as relevant in 2016 as they were in 1979. Whenever I hear this parable, I remember the homily of Saint John Paul II in Yankee Stadium in New York in 1979, during his first visit as pope to the United States. To ignore them is to become like the rich man who pretended not to see the beggar Lazarus. So many are deprived of the basic necessities of life, like food, housing, and medical care. In the world today, there are so many people who lie outside the door, like Lazarus, while the dogs come and lick their sores. His will is that we live in solidarity with others and that we not ignore the poor and suffering in our midst. ![]() God’s will is that we care for the poor, that we serve others in the charity of Christ. This well-known parable reminds us that we must live according to God’s will, otherwise, after death, it will be too late to repent. Divine justice prevails after their death. Lazarus was received “in the bosom of Abraham” whereas the rich man ended up in Hades. At the end of their lives, Lazarus was welcomed into paradise, whereas the rich man ended up in torment. ![]() The rich man lives in luxury and egoism and is indifferent to the suffering of Lazarus, the beggar on his doorstep. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the rich man and poor Lazarus. Lazarus at the rich man’s gate by Fyodor Bronnikov, 1886. Aaron stepped gingerly onto the antique carpeting by the door and waited. Scott had gathered in his decades of world travels. The office was decorated with exotic treasures which Mr. Embarrassed, he handed the full coffee cup to the assistant as he entered the inner office, wiping his wet hand on the back of his pants. Aaron jumped reflexively when he heard his name called, spilling coffee onto his hand and pantleg. Scott’s assistant, a severe older woman in a gray pants suit, opened the door and announced that Mr. He only got his limp turd-brown hair cut every few months, when if finally hung down far enough to obstruct the view through his horn-rimmed glasses, and he couldn’t recall the last time he entered a clothing store for anything besides socks and underwear. Today, one rode just to the left of the tip of his nose. Although his acne had cleared for the most part by freshman year of college, he still managed to get a sizable zit at least once a month, usually in the most noticeable place possible. His five-foot-seven frame was lugging around enough blubber that his scale regularly crept over 200. He figured he could probably improve his status if he paid a little more attention to his outward appearance, but his salary was largely eaten up by his rent, his carb-heavy diet had evolved little since his college days, and the only exercise he got was walking to and from the BART station. ![]() He just came in every day, did his number-crunching in his windowless office, then headed back home on a BART train to his lonely apartment in the East Bay. He hadn’t even attracted much wanted attention, as in three years, he hadn’t found one person he considered a friend, let along found a woman to date. ![]() ![]() As a low-level drone in the accounting department, Aaron had done little to attract unwanted attention during his three years at Scott Global, headquartered in San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid. Only when you had reached the pinnacle of success like Gavin Scott could you earn a view like this. Maybe they’d called the wrong man.Īaron looked out the windows at the skyline, never having been this high in the building before. Gavin Scott was notorious for instilling fear in those who worked for him, with a reputation for going psycho when the slightest thing did not go his way, so Aaron was naturally in suspense about why he had been called to meet Gavin. He wasn’t even sure why he had agreed to the assistant’s offer of coffee, since he never drank the stuff, but his nerves were on edge. Aaron stared spellbound at the cream swirling in his coffee as he waited for the big man. ![]() ![]() And to read that movie's script today, even with no knowledge of the finished film, makes one realize that all director George Roy Hill had to do to was to follow the precise, shot-by-shot instructions Goldman laid out for him in his stage directions. His original script for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid could serve as a entire master class on one-liners and zingers. Goldman’s scripts offered not just compelling narratives, but some of the wittiest quips (not to mention sharpest dialog) of all time. But a solid, if not sterling, case could be made that William Goldman, who we lost this Fall – the man behind such gems as the Princess Bride, Marathon Man, and All the President’s Men – was the greatest of them all. Some, likewise, contend it may have been Joseph or Herman Mankiewicz, or Budd Schulberg, or Ben Hecht, or even John Sayles, or Francis Ford Coppola, or the Cohen brothers. Some contend (reasonably so) the greatest screenwriter in the history of American film was Billy Wilder. Last year, as she finally returned to the World Cup circuit, Street said she had "way more fear than I expected, fear of the unknown.It was, indeed, a bad year for writers – even a few who we never really thought, first and foremost, of as men of letters.

He also won three individual discipline season titles-downhill, super-G and giant slalom-for the second time in a row. Maier last season won his second straight World Cup overall title and third in the past four years. "He's up there with Killy, Tomba, Klammer, that crowd."

In Southeast Asia and China, marrow is more likely to be used as soup thickener, or bones containing marrow cracked open and put in soup so the marrow can be sucked out.īrain - In both vertebrates and invertebrates, the brain is the center of all cognitive functions, the wheelhouse of the ship, if you will. Bone marrow of cattle and pigs has long been important in European cuisines, where special bone marrow spoons were developed in 18th century France and England to scoop the marrow out. While the red bone marrow’s primary function is to generate red blood cells and lymphocytes (white blood cells), the yellow bone marrow is mainly fat. Some cultural groups drink blood straight out of the animal in religious rituals or for reasons of health.īone marrow - The yellow and red jelly-like tissue inside bones is known as bone marrow, constituting as much as five percent of the body weight in some animals. Culinary uses of blood - usually from a cow, pig, duck, or chicken - include thickening and coloring stews and soups, and as an ingredient in sausages and puddings. Blood is colored by hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells that bonds with oxygen to carry it throughout the body, and also removes the carbon dioxide that results from metabolism. Pumped by the heart and transported via veins and arteries, blood ferries nourishment to the body and aids in defense against disease. In the second half, we’ll identify those cuisines in which offal (an even vaguer term) may be most readily found, and what dishes to look for.īlood - Yes, blood is technically an organ, even though it seems odd. In this two-part piece, we’ll first explore several aspects of organs and other variety meats, from the biological functions, to myths and associated tales, to the culinary uses to which they’ve been put. What are variety meats, then? This term includes organs, but also things like tendon and jowl that are not specifically organs but have achieved fifth quarter status by being rejected by broad segments of the dining public due to unwanted textures or associations, or difficulty of cooking. The kidneys, for example, filter the blood to produce urine, while the tongue furnishes our sense of taste, assists in producing speech, and waves chewed food through on its way down the alimentary canal. What is an organ, anyway? It’s a delimited collection of tissue or tissues, often all in one place and dedicated to a specific biological function. ![]() But there has always been something a little raffish about eating them here in the U.S., though certain organs like liver, bone marrow, and tripe have recently achieved more widespread acceptance - among chefs at least, who find it stylish to incorporate obscure animal parts into their menus. Concealed in sausages, or even reviled and discarded in some cultures, these tissues constitute a prized part of the culinary arsenal in Rome.
