“Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my “Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard.” So opens the fifth chapter of Isaiah. “The readers of this book can easily work out what this vineyard stands for,” explains John Goldingay. However, “for the original audience of Isaiah’s song, matters were more complicated… Isaiah appears before his audience as a minstrel singing a love song on behalf of his best friend, perhaps as his best man. It appears at first to be a touching song about the man’s efforts to cultivate a fruitful relationship or a fruitful marriage, yet worryingly its lines have the short second half characteristic of the limping lament form, which suggests that it will turn out to be a sad song.” In Luke 13:6, Jesus begins a parable with these words: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard.” Would his hearers have immediately thought of Isaiah’s song to his Well-beloved? But then what is a fig tree doing in a vineyard? In Charlotte Mason’s imaginative poem “The barren fig-tree,” she enters the mindset of Christ’s first-century hearers. In verses that pose more questions than answers, she leaves us again wondering if it will turn out to be a sad song.

“How can you give a better understanding of the “How can you give a better understanding of the beauty of color than from the rich glories of ranunculus, delphinium or hollyhock; of the laws of design than by study of the delicate wings of the butterfly, the curious and wonderful construction of the goldfish, or the spirals of a ram’s horn! How teach the laws of perspective more simply and truly than by the open stretch of land and sky, with its foreground and background, the distant objects and those close to” (P.E. Hanson, Art and Handcraft in the Education of Children). @rbaburina . . . . . . . . #artinstruction #natureasinstructor #charlottemasonhandicraft #charlottemasonart #charlottemasoneducation
“Do not be afraid: I know that you are looking f “Do not be afraid: I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said!” (Mt 28:5-6) Another diorama to aid the pre-school aged children at our church to engage with this part of the story of the paschal mystery. The figures were lovingly carved and painted by Serafina, with some help from a friend and his many electric saws to create the empty tomb structure itself, complete with flowered bushes and the rollable stone. She even has the burial cloths inside, so the children can see the place where Jesus lay, but where he is no longer. I quite like the detail of the surprised mouths on the women. And as she was working with 2”x2” pieces of wood, I was unsure of how she would accomplish depicting the angel’s wings. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by her solution. Swipe to see pictures of the process! @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #easter #easter2025 #resurrection #theemptytomb #catechesisofthegoodshepherd #woodcarving #woodcarver #woodwork #handicrafts #makersgonnamake #Jesusisrisen #Jesusisalive #thewomenatthetomb #alleluia
Charlotte Mason observes that there are two kinds Charlotte Mason observes that there are two kinds of reading: (1) casual reading, and (2) reading to know. Mason defines casual reading as “vague reading round a subject without the effort to know.” It “affords entertainment, and perhaps an occasional stimulus to thought.” By contrast, when we read to know, “all the acts of generalization, analysis, comparison, judgment, and so on, the mind performs for itself.” If we doubt this, she says that we — parents and teachers — should try mentally narrating a chapter of Jane Austen or the Bible. “The degree of insight, the visualization, that comes with this sort of mental exercise is surprising.” I believe both kinds of reading are available to us through all of life. In the Idyll Challenge, I recommend that parents and teachers read Mason’s own volumes *to know*. That’s why we discuss what we read, for “knowledge is not assimilated until it is reproduced.” I was struck by the diagrams drawn by someone reading Parents and Children *to know*. This person did not wait for our monthly meeting to reproduce knowledge in a “form of vitality.” Rather, this person captured the “visualization that comes with this sort of mental exercise” on paper. It is a reminder that Mason’s principles of learning apply to persons of all ages. Children are born persons. Parents and teachers are persons too. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #narration #charlottemasonmethod #philsophyofeducation #mentalnarration #oralnarration #writtennarration #charlottemasonirl #charlottemasonpoetry #idyllchallenge
