Canadiens are, in fact, a faith.
This is a really interesting topic of study.
-
Certain religious behaviours, like praying, surround the Canadiens
I have seen this in many other countries before in other sports.
-
You know, you have to suffer if you want to win.
Although this statement is true, I do not think it should be related to Jesus' death on the cross.
-
"Sport is part of culture and a good way to learn about another country…
This is so true. I have not known a lot about Quebec before this class, but as I learn new things about the Quebec culture, I can see how it relates to hockey.

No athlete has embodied the soul of a city and the spirit of itspeople as Richard did in the 1940s and '50s in Montreal,
It's awesome how invested he became in the city and how he embraced it as if it was his own home. He brought the people of the city together.
-
"If that was the start of the Quiet Revolution,it wasn't very quiet."
Kind of ironic that this event started the Quiet Revolution.
-
galling
This means humiliating and annoying.
-
The Rocket's triumphswere the people's triumphs.
This is so cool how invested and connected the people were with the Rockets. This might have made for some high highs and some low lows.
-
Smoke from a tear-gas canister haddriven thousands of hockey fans into the streets, sparking afour-hour rampage that yielded the requisite fires, shatteredwindows, looted stores, overturned cars and 137 arrests.
This event is something that I cannot imagine. It was so violent and such a big deal. It is crazy that I have never heard of this event before this class.

Like that night in December 1944 when he showed up at the Forum exhausted from moving furniture all day into his family’s new apartment — then scored five goals and added three assists, setting the NHL record for most points in a single game.
Such a determined and hard working person. Shows a lot of perseverance from his personality.
-
His stick blade clips the Rocket above the left ear and opens a gash. The blood stains his scalp.
This is very gruesome to read. I cannot imagine the pain he was feeling, but I imagine that the adrenaline helped him through.
-
but it has no way of knowing how bad it is going to get.
Who could imagine it would be as bad as it was?
-
It’s March 13, 1955.
I thought this happened so long ago, but it is less than 100 years!
-
Incensed, Richard swings his stick with two-fisted fury at Laycoe. He hits him with such force across the shoulders that his stick splinters. Laycoe sheds his gloves and rushes at Richard, who drops his gloves. The two thrash at one another with their fists.
This is a great illustration of the event. I feel like I was there and can imagine what it looked like.

Sticks were high, fists flew, blood often smeared the ice, and the owners thought this was all manly and a great way to sell tickets.
Is this normal behavior in hockey? I have only been to one hockey game and never saw fists flying with blood.
-
Richard's story had linesman Cliff Thompson holding him back, arms pinned, while Laycoe was allowed to smack away.
I don't know whether or not to believe this conspiracy theory, but this is crazy if it is true. Someone holding someone to hit another person is obviously assault.
-
Ted Lindsay had been dispatched for four games after punching a Toronto fan.
Punching a fan!? That is crazy!
-
five straight Stanley Cup victories
Five victories in a crazy, especially in a professional league!

This is a long time for a policy to go into effect, especially when something so crazy happen.

Maria listened breathlessly; asking herself if it was really her mother who had done this thing-the mother whom she had always known so gentle and tender-hearted; who had never given Telesphore a little rap on the head without afterwards taking him on her knees to comfort him, adding her own tears to his, and declaring that to slap a child was something to break one's heart.
Maria is realizing how complex life is and that it changes people. Her mother was gentle, but also firm because of the hardships she faced.
-
to be so sorely missed when she departed
Maria is recognizing the deep emotional connection she has with her family and community. This would be a reason why leaving would be so difficult.
-
Over there
Maria is referring to the United States and how it is so different linguistically and culturally.
-
In those cities of the States, even if one taught the children how to sing them would they not straightway forget!
Maria is implying that it is easy to forget cultural things in a more urban and modern area, like the U.S.
-
ESDRAS and Da'Be came down from the shanties in May, and their grieving brought freshly to the household the pain of bereavement.
Maria's brothers return and there is a renewed sense of grief, most likely from the death of Francois Paradis. So much weight has been added.
-
And yet it is a harsh land, this land of ours ... Why should I linger here
Maria continues to question why she stays in this place that does not satisfy her.
-
without one single word of reproach or spitefulness
Even though her mother would have been okay with staying, she never complained and always followed her husband as they moved. She felt content, while he did not.

Pentecost
Where Christians celebrate the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus' disciples.
-
Often he felt this love as a fire, which, having inflamed itself in his heart kept increasing from day to day, and consuming in him the impurity of natures in order to cause the spirit of grace and the adorable spirit of Jesus Christ to rule in him.
Was a follower of Jesus and got to feel the love of God through Jesus Christ. Helped him to experience goodness in this world.
-
He derived this spirit of confidence in God from prayer, in which he was often much uplifted.
The Holy Spirit seems to be a great power to him and it gave him positive confidence and encouragement when he needed it.
-
Our men were the choicest Christians of the village of la Conception, and some others of the village of la Magdelaine. Their courage was not depressed, although they were only about one hundred and fifty. They proceed to prayers
The first response of the Jesuits, when times got hard, was the pray to God to help them.
-
The 16th day of March in the present year, 1649, marked the beginning of our misfortunes,—if, however, that be a misfortune which no doubt has been the salvation of many of God's elect.
Although the Jesuits faced many losses and trials, they still believe that it led to some salvations, which made it worth it.
-
Of these eleven Missions, eight have been for the people of the Huron tongue, and the three others for the Missions of the Algonquin language. Everywhere, the progress of the Faith has surpassed our hopes,—most minds, even those formerly most fierce, becoming so docile, and so submissive to the preaching of the Gospel, that it was sufficiently apparent that [page 101] the Angels were laboring there much more than we.
Did they believe that this was God's work or their own that more people were being submissive to the Gospel? What changed their hearts?

Moreover, by this so common habit of frequent visitation, as they are for the most part fairly intelligent, they arouse and influence one another wonderfully; so that there are almost none of them incapable of conversing or reasoning very well, and in good terms, on matters within their knowledge.
There seems to be great community within the Hurons where they give each other encouragement.
-
We have a Savage in our Village, surnamed the Fisher, on account of his good fortune in fishing; this man attributes all his success to the ashes of a certain little bird that is called Ohguione, which, according to his statement, penetrates the trunks of trees without resistance. When he goes fishing, he mixes his ashes with a little water, and, having rubbed his nets with them, he feels confident that the fish will enter them in abundance; in fact, he has acquired fame from this.
This seems like he has a superstition in himself or a faith in the ashes of a small bird.
-
And, whoever soonest accomplishes this, it is for him to be served [124] again and again, until the kettle be empty. Is it not true, on hearing all this, and several other traits of gluttony, which I omit out of respect for good taste, to say that si Regnum Dei non est esca et potus, verily the Kingdom of God is not in eating and drinking; such is indeed the one which the Devil has usurped over these poor blind beings. May it please our Lord to have pity on them, and to deliver them from this tyranny.
This section shows the difference in how the Montagnes and Jesuits thought of excessive eating drinking. The Montagnes thought of it as a way to connect deeper spiritually, while the Jesuits think it is gluttony and a sin. Their differing ideas and values are obvious here.
-
This Ontarraoura resuscitated, they say, I know not what good Hunter, a firm friend of the Wolves, in the midst of a great feast. From this they conclude that feasts must be capable of healing the sick, since they even restore life to the dead.
If they believe that the feasts could heal the sick because the Ontarraroura was resuscitated, would they believe that humans conquer death because Jesus did that on the cross?
-
What a consolation!—for I must use such terms, as otherwise I could not give you pleasure—what a consolation, then, to see oneself even abandoned on the road by the Savages, languishing with sickness, or even dying with hunger in the woods, and of being able to say to God, " My God, it is to do your holy will that I am reduced to the state in which you see me
The people understand the suffering is a part of a relationship with God and that it might be a part of his will. They accept this and believe that it is a privilege in order to suffer for God.
