When Jesus teaches about prayer, he asks us to thi When Jesus teaches about prayer, he asks us to think about our children: “And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?” Even as we are thinking about loaves, and fishes, and eggs, we read in the Gospel of Luke the surprising final sentence: “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” The Navarre Bible puts this into perspective: “The Holy Spirit is God’s best gift to us, the great promise Christ gives his disciples (cf. Jn 5:26), the divine fire which descends on the apostles at Pentecost, filling them with fortitude and freedom to proclaim Christ’s message (cf. Acts 2).” And so St. Josemaría Escrivá proclaims, “Jesus has kept his promise. He has risen from the dead and, in union with the eternal Father, he sends us the Holy Spirit to sanctify us and to give us life.” Charlotte Mason recognized the significance of this gift. In her poetic commentary on this passage from Luke she writes, “No good thing that a man requires but comes with Pentecostal fires.” Read or listen to Mason’s spiritual poem at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #thesaviouroftheworld #saviouroftheworld #prayer #poemsonprayer #pentecost #charlottemasonliving #charlottemasonirl #charlottemasonhomeschool #bible #navarrebible #josemariaescriva 🖼️: The Pentecost by El Greco
“Text-books teach facts, but the art of living i “Text-books teach facts, but the art of living is learnt by watching the lives of others. In these days of trouble and uncertainty, the Life of Christ set forth in all its beauty and in all its radiance, is surely the finest Guide that we can have. We need have no fear if we launch our children into the world relying on this Pilot.” (Leaf, PR53, “Education is a Life”) @tessakeath
Serafina was gifted a thrifted pair of white slip- Serafina was gifted a thrifted pair of white slip-on shoes. So she figured this was the perfect opportunity to create this! It’s quite amazing what she can do with any type of blank canvas, a set of acrylic markers, a Beatrix Potter book, and her creativity! Has your family tried out acrylic markers yet? I did not know they were even a thing until she came home telling me about her friend’s set. She uses them all the time on many different things. There’s seemingly no limit. @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #beatrixpotter #makersgonnamake #handicrafts #drawing #charlottemasonhandicrafts #repurpose #creativearts #expressivearts #squirrelnutkin #bookinspired #artistic #craftykids #thrifting #vans #charlottemasonirl #charlottemasonliving #homeschooling #simplicityparenting #charlottemasonpoetry #acrylicmarkers
In music appreciation lessons, the primary focus m In music appreciation lessons, the primary focus must be the music. Our goal is not to learn as much as possible about any particular composer or composition, but to learn the language of music itself. As Charlotte Mason explains, “these messages of the musicians cannot be put into words, so there is no way of hearing them if we do not train our ear to listen.” There is always the question, though, of reading words about the music. Should we read little books or big books about the composer or about the compositions? Should we find living books or will reference books suffice? I recall enjoying books by Opal Wheeler and Susanna Reich over the years. But what did the PNEU read before these books were printed? When I read the 1922 PNEU music programme for Edvard Grieg, I was surprised to find the “set book” for the term was from “Bell’s Miniature Series of Musicians.” This series included many little books about many different composers, but as far as I can tell, only the book about Grieg was assigned in the PNEU. The book does not just cover the composer’s life. When Cedric Glover sets out the music programme, he says of the Peer Gynt Suite, “This is the most widely known work of the composer. A very good analysis of it will be found on page 68 of the set book, to which the student is referred.” Words about music to enhance the appreciation. I decided to track down the book which is shown in the video. Glover’s music programme may also be found at the profile link. Writing in 1922, he muses, “Of Grieg’s immortality it is perhaps too early to prophesy.” A century later, it is no longer too early. Just listen. @artmiddlekauff
