DAY SIX

My Divine Redeemer,
Thou didst die for me on the Cross, and hast so often united Thyself with me in Holy Communion, and I have repaid Thee only with ingratitude.
Now, however, I love Thee above all things,
O supreme God; and I am more grieved at my offences against Thee than at any other evil.
I will rather die than offend Thee again.
Grant me the grace of holy perseverance.
Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory.
Mary, Mother of God, come to their aid with thy powerful intercession.

Say the following prayers:

1 Our Father...

Send them Thy holy Angel to announce to them that Thou, their Father, are now reconciled with them through the suffering and death of Jesus, and that the moment of their deliverance has arrived.

Say the following prayers:

1 Our Father...
1 Hail

    In the eulogy at Caesar’s funeral, Marc Antony, close friend of Caesar and general, seems to claim that he believes that Marcus Brutus and the rest of the men involved with the death of Caesar are honorable men, but in actuality believes that Caesar was the only honorable man in the Senate who was always there for his country and brought prosperity to his country. He also claims to not want to get revenge on the murderers of Caesar, but in reality, the whole point of his speech was to turn the citizens of Rome against Brutus so that Caesar’s death will be avenged. He develops this claim by first creating ethos and pathos refuting Brutus’ excuse that Caesar was ambitious. Then, he emphasizes the grand betrayal of Brutus towards Caesar. Towards…

    Brutus and Antony each gave their own speeches at Julius Caesar’s funeral to persuade the people of Rome to make them their new leader by using many rhetorical devices. Brutus came off as a traitor of Caesar, claiming that they killed Julius Caesar for the sake of Rome. He tried to overthrow what had occurred by striking fear into the people’s eyes, stating “Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” By letting the people of Rome envision what horrible things and events would unfold if Caesar was still alive and ruler. He also uses fallacy to allow the audience to think about what their lives would be like tied down under Caesar’s rule then what it will be like with Caesar gone and…

    Upon taking the ethics class and learning and understanding the teachings of great philosophers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle I am even more driven to gather more knowledge about ethics as well as information about the above mentioned philosophers who have been instrumental in shedding light into the complex view on ethics. This is why I chose this topic, in order to explore whether Socrates actually did commit suicide and why he did so. After being familiar with the teachings and views of Socrates I believe that without doubt he was indeed a great man with great attributes and intellect. For a person as such who possessed such pedigree to even think of committing suicide is hard to imagine and…

    The argument is also sound. I have already proven its validity, now I must show that the conclusion is actually true. If Aristotle is going to claim that one cannot reach a state of happiness without being engaged in virtuous action, then it does logically follow that this type of unfailing virtue that Aristotle so vividly describes cannot possibly be reached without contemplative action. Some opposing views of Aristotle say that a life totally based off acts of contemplation is not realistic in our world. But Aristotle is careful to note, in response to this issue, that of course, living a life fully dedicated towards contemplation is too high of a life for humans (Bk. X, Ch. 7). Rather, contemplation is a divine, internal presence within a person. When situations arise that do not…

    In the Allegory of the Cave, we learn from Plato’s story that the cave dwellers view of life is limited to what they can actually see. Their reality is what they can visualize from their limited environment. When one of them escapes he finds out that what they thought the world was like was not real. After discovering a new reality, he returns to the cave and tries to tell the others that they are confused about what the world is really like. The others are fearful of his truth and not interested in leaving the safety of what they know. When I think of this story the little print on your rear view mirror in the car comes to my mind. Objects in the mirror may be larger than they appear, is a good way to think about the world. Things are not always to be taken at face value. Using this method of thought, I have examined my opinions of several of the issues that we discussed in class.…

    An ancient Greek play consists of many elements that allow to be defined as a tragedy. Some of these elements include catharsis, the overflow or release of an excessive amount of emotions, and hamartia, a fatal flaw that leads the main character’s, Oedipus’s, downfall. So far, a blind Oedipus who suffers a horrible fate because of his past wanders into Colonus, a city near Athens. There, Oedipus and his daughter, Antigone, have an unlikely encounter with some strangers. She requests for them to guide her father, she asks for them to “..pity her at least... grant [them] the help they never dreamed to see!”(Sophocles 255,263). This is an obvious plea for help, Antigone unleashes…

    Pericles Funeral Oration

    • 4 Pages

    Both “Pericles’ Funeral Oration” transcribed by Thucydides and “The Perils of Indifference” by Elie Wiesel demonstrate desire for a redefined culture: a culture that is geared towards a better societal attitude. Though both speeches address the need to honor peoples who have died (Pericles to those who have died in the Peloponnesian War; Wiesel to those who have died in the Holocaust) and invoke various feelings ranging from sorrow to pride, the manner in which both speeches present so differs slightly. The speeches use variations of tones that appeal to the audience in such a way that emphasizes their main idea.…

    I am merely a pawn, a pawn in a game that has spiralled out of control, a game of life and death. My innocence surrendered to the ceaseless events, my sleep masked with tortured dreams like the shadows that cover the night sky. With the blanket of darkness, my tongue mutters for itself when I say the guilt of a man's blood is leached within the creases of my fold. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, desperate to cleanse myself of the blood spilled in the wake of murder. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.(Use a scrubbing motion) “Out damned spot! Out I say.” Encased in my own conscience I stand unable to escape , unable to endure it alone while it tears my seam to seam from inside out. Can these hands ever be scrubbed off the guilt, while they are covered in the blood, still warm, of sleeping innocents? It was with these very hands I held the dagger that tore life to shreds, daggers which reap their revenge. How am I to stop this guilt, the foul opposite of holy innocence? My hands are defiled with blood, fingers with sin,lips with lies, as by man shall my blood be shed. A creature, a sinner like myself, has no right to love, I am an object of disgust, of loathing. A creature as such has no right to be loved and must cease to burden other’s lives with her presence. If I were to die…

    Aristotle - Biography

    • 2206 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Raphael portrays two of Greece 's great philosophers as the focal point of his masterpiece The School of Athens. Aristotle has his hand pointing straight out as if he is declaring to Plato that truth is found right here around us. Aristotle was an excellent teacher who is considered to be the prince of philosophy and one of the world 's most influential thinkers of all time. Aristotle was born in 384 B.C at Stragyra in Thrace, on the north coast of the Aegean Sea. This was fifteen years after the death of Socrates and three years after the founding of Plato 's Academy. His father was the court physician and friend of King Amyntas of Macedonia. It is likely that Aristotle 's great interest in biology and science, in general, was nurtured in his early childhood. At the age of seventeen, Aristotle moved to Athens and enrolled in Plato 's Academy as a student of philosophy. He studied for over twenty years at the Academy until Plato died in 348 B.C. Throughout his time at the Academy, Aristotle became one of the top scientist and philosophers, and though he studied under Plato, he was not a Platonist. In fact, he would later criticize Plato and his various doctrines.…

    Aristotle describes virtue as balance between vices. (Nic. Ethics, IV 2). By being truly virtuous, that means one has reached ultimate perfection. The question is, can someone be virtuous?

There are large issues that make one question how one can be virtuous, what path to take and discovering how that decision was made in the first place. This essay will discuss the idea of virtue and how it relates to the controversial topic of euthanasia.…
