"You know, you have to suffer if you want to win. Jesus had to die and resurrect. That's the kind of thing we expect from our players. You must be ready to suffer in order to win or earn us some victory. You must risk everything and sweat and fight or be knocked out," he said.
Seems like an interesting comparison. I don't agree, personally.
In addition to the class, Bauer has launched an essay contest asking the question, "Are the Montreal Canadiens a religion?"
They are so passionate it seems like a religion.
During the first-period intermission a fan marched up thesteps and extended his hand for what Campbell assumed would be ahandshake. Campbell stuck out his hand. He got a slap in theface. Retired Red Wings tough guy Jimmy Orlando had spotted thefan heading toward Campbell and bounded from his seat inpursuit. An instant after the slap, Orlando spun the fan aroundand socked him in the jaw, scattering teeth like jujubes. Therewere shouts, invective, a rumbling in the Forum. The tear gascame 30 seconds later.
This all really blows my mind that people can be this upset over a suspension. Campbell should have listened to the Mayor.
The Rocket's triumphswere the people's triumphs. His rare defeats were their defeats.
The people of Quebec take hockey extremely serious.
“If they hadn’t pampered Maurice Richard, built him up as a hero until he felt he was bigger than hockey itself, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Seems athletes have just as much as influence back then as they do today.
The men overwhelmed law and order. They pulled down road signs. They smashed windows of the congested streetcars. They toppled telephone booths and lit newspaper kiosks on fire. They heaved bricks from a nearby construction site through the Forum windows. When one young man was arrested and taken into a police car, the protestors began rocking the car, and the police officer feared they would flip it. He told his driver, “When both back wheels touch the ground, gun it!”
I almost chose this topic when we did our initial timeline project, but someone had chosen it so I had to chose a different topic. I had began researching this though and I found the story and rioting super interesting.
Richard connects with an uppercut to Laycoe’s cheek. Thompson manages to grab hold of Richard — the side of his face smeared with blood from Laycoe’s original strike
The fighting in hockey... classic.
It’s March 13, 1955. The tension between the two rivals in the six-team NHL has been building inside the Boston Garden all night.
As much as I enjoy watching live sports it amazes me hoe passionate and enraged people can get over it.
The forests of Quebec are rich in wild berries; cranberries, Indian pears, black currants, sarsaparilla spring up freely in the wake of the great fires, but the blueberry, the bilberry or whortleberry of France, is of all the most abundant and delicious.
Interesting to know what kinds of fruits are native to that area
The sun dipped toward the horizon, disappeared; the sky took on softer hues above the forest's dark edge, and the hour of supper brought to the house five men of the colour of the soil.
Such a pretty description!
The mass is beautiful. I am often very sorry that we live so far from churches. Perhaps not being able to attend to our religion every Sunday hinders us from being just so fortunate as other people."
During this time similar to the Jesuits and Hurons they believed their blessings and or health came from religion.
jestingly
Jestingly as in jokingly??
pig's bladder
I'm curious.. is this just what that part of the pipe is called? If so why? I hope this has nothing to do with a real pig's bladder....
The snow lay deep upon road and fields, for the April sun was powerless to send warmth through the gray clouds, and the heavy spring rains were yet to come. This chill and universal white, the humbleness of the wooden church and the wooden houses scattered along the road, the gloomy forest edging so close that it seemed to threaten, these all spoke of a harsh existence in a stern land. But as the men and boys passed through the doorway and gathered in knots on the broad steps, their cheery salutations, the chaff flung from group to group, the continual interchange of talk, merry or sober, at once disclosed the unquenchable joyousness of a people ever filled with laughter and good humour.
I enjoy this description of scenery, it puts you right there in that moment.
about sixty leagues distant from us
Wonder how we can compare their measurements in 'leagues' to our forms of measurement.
Although some reasons might oblige me, perhaps, to be more reserved in publishing what follows, I have nevertheless believed it my duty to render to God the glory which is due him herein.
Very determined to follow his belief in God and do what he feels God has called him to do.
We left 3 rivers on the 26th, and returned hither on the 27th. On arriving, we learned that a poor sailor had been drowned, and that there had been but little fishing,—the fish having failed, and every one having taken up his nets after a month of time lost. There were plenty of fine Sturgeon, which helped people to live; but there were few if any
I find it interesting they journal so much of this time down to little details. It allows us to reflect on their experiences.
On Passion Sunday at the hospital,
As a Christian myself, I'm very familiar with Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday. Unsure what Passion Sunday is.
After that they put on him a belt of bark, full of pitch and resin, and set fire to it, which roasted his whole body. During all these torments, Father de [page 29] Brebœuf endured like a rock, insensible to fire and flames, which astonished all the bloodthirsty wretches who tormented him.
Hard to read about Father de Brebceuf's torture and death.
Now this false belief they have about souls is kept up among them by means of certain stories which the fathers tell their children, which are so poorly put together that I am perfectly astounded to see .how men believe them and accept them as truth.
Calling their beliefs ignorant because their beliefs are different. Very critical statement.
tar fell from Heaven in the form of a fat Goose
Fat Goose seems like a very random comparison
heir usual reply is, oniondechouten, "Such is the custom of our country." We have fought this excuse and have taken it from their mouths, but not yet from their hearts; our Lord will do that when it shall please him.
Stripping them from their culture and associating that with religion and God, when in reality it is just because the Jesuits don't approve of the Huron culture.
Moreover, the divine Goodness which acts in us according to the measure of our Faith, has thus far preserved these little ones in good health; so that the death of those who have passed away has been attributed to incurable and hopeless maladies contracted beforehand;
Sad parents are blamed for something that was completely out of their control. I can't imagine living in a time like this. Makes me thankful I was born in a different lifetime.
They seek Baptism almost entirely as an aid to health.
I find this interesting they associate their spirituality with good health. Believing that if they are baptized this will save them from health ailments. It is interesting to compare how far health and wellness have come today. We associate health with wellness and taking care of ourselves physically now and associate it way less with spirituality.
It is said that this woman, who was named Marie, in the midst of her greatest weakness foretold that she would not die for eight days; and so it happened.
This makes me feel as if I am reading something from the New Testament in the Bible.
