I thought to myself that the Italian word ‘piano’ meaning ‘softly’ might come from the Latin Word: ‘Piānus’ which means: ‘piously’. I said before that Giuseppe Sarto (1935-1914) or Pope Saint Pius X, who reigned gloriously 1903-1914, was a member of an extremist anti-modernist cult founded by Umberto Benigni (1862-1934) called ‘Sodālitium Piānum’ or ‘The Pious Sodality’. The ‘pious’ or rather: ‘Pius’ in question is the Dominican Inquisitor, Antonio Ghislieri (1504-1572) who reigned gloriously as Pope Saint Pius V 1566-1572 . It is a beautiful etymological image, isn’t it? Play the piano nice and piously; nice and softly! However, unfortunately the Italian word ‘piano’ actually comes from the Latin word: ‘plānus’ which means ‘plain’, and which came to mean ‘softly’. ____ #latin #italian #music #musicTheory #language #history #etymology (at County Monaghan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdrFgmUD4XZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

23rd August >> Saints of the Day for Roman Catholics: Saint Rose of Lima, virgin & Saint Eugene, bishop.

Saint Rose of Lima, virgin

Isabel Flores y de Oliva (1586-1617) from a Spanish colonial family in Lima, Peru, was nicknamed “Rose” from an incident in her childhood. She wanted to be a nun, but instead entered the Dominican Third Order while living in her parents’ home. At twenty she took a vow of perpetual virginity. For eleven years she lived an ascetical life of prayer and died at the age of 31. She was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized.

And

Saint Eugene, bishop

Eugene (Eoghan) is honoured as founder of the 7th century monastery of Ardstraw (Co. Tyrone). Tradition says he was born in Leinster; but as a boy he studied at Clones (Monaghan), from where was carried off by pirates to Britain and subsequently to Brittany. On obtaining his freedom, he went to study at St. Ninian’s Candida Casa; then returning to Ireland, he made a foundation at Kilnamanagh, in the Wicklow hills. Later he settled in the valley of Mourne (Co. Tyrone). He was followed by many disciples including his kinsman, St. Kevin of Glendalough, who completed his studies under saint Eugene. His name is generally Latinized as Eugenius, but the Irish form is Eoghan (Owen), hence Tir Eoghain, or Tyrone.

Robert Easter Will Defend His Title Against Former World Champion Javier Fortuna

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

UNDEFEATED 135-POUND CHAMPION ROBERT EASTER DEFENDS AGAINST FORMER WORLD CHAMPION JAVIER FORTUNA IN THE SPENCE-PETERSON CO-FEATURE

BROOKLYN (December 22, 2017) - Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert Easter will defend his IBF Title against former world champion Javier Fortuna in the co-main event of Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson live on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) on Saturday, Jan. 20 from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING® and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Easter vs. Fortuna rounds out the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader that features IBF Welterweight World Champion and 2012 U.S. Olympian Spence making his first title defense against former two-division world champion Peterson.

In the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING PRELIMS, unbeaten light heavyweight Marcus Browne, from Staten Island, will take on once-beaten Francy Ntetu in a 10-round fight and undefeated heavyweight sensation Adam Kownacki, who fights out of Brooklyn by way of Lomza, Poland, will face once-beaten Iago Kiladze of Kiev, Ukraine in a 10-round bout.

The live digital offering will be exclusively in the U.S. on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page.

SHOWTIME is the only network to offer live streaming coverage of boxing on social media platforms in the U.S., having first done so in 2016 with the presentation of two heavyweight world championship bouts live on YouTube.

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, are priced starting at $50, and are on sale now. The Easter-Fortuna bout is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing and About Billions Promotions. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.combarclayscenter.com, , at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center or by calling 800-745-3000. Group discounts are available by calling 844-BKLYN-GP.

Easter (20-0, 14 KOs) will be making the third defense of his lightweight world title since he won it with a split decision over Richard Commey on Sept. 9, 2016. The 26-year-old Easter successfully defended the title twice in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio last year, defeating Luis Cruz by unanimous decision on Feb. 10 and then following it up with a unanimous decision victory over Denis Shafikov in his last outing on June 30.

"When I first won the title I knew that many obstacles would be thrown at me, but that's what the game is all about,'' Easter said. "I've successfully overcome them and defended the title in some tough fights and on January 20th we're looking to do the same thing. I believe every fighter can give you problems, but professionals make adjustments and take over the fight. That's what I'm going to do. I know he's a former world champion looking to regain a title, but this time he signed up for the wrong guy. We always work hard and we've turned it up a notch since we found out who the opponent would be. I'm just excited. I'm ready to go today if I have to.''

Fortuna (33-1-1, 23 KOs) is returning to the scene of his first world championship victory when he defeated then-champion Bryan Vasquez by unanimous decision for the 130-pound title at Barclays Center on May 29, 2015. Fortuna lost the title to Jason Sosa by technical knockout in Beijing, China on June 24, 2016, in a fight Fortuna led on the scorecards. The 28-year-old southpaw who fights out of Braintree, Mass. by way of Dominican Republic, has won four straight since his lone loss to get in contention for a title at 135 pounds, including triumphs over then-undefeated fighters Omar Douglas and Nicolas Polanco.

"I'm just very gracious, appreciative and honored for the opportunity to fight for the world title again,'' Fortuna said. "I feel really good about this fight. With God first I will be a world champion again. Easter is tall, active and he's strong. But I feel like I'm stronger and I can punch much harder. Training is going smoothly now, but the intensity will pick up as we get closer to the fight. ''

Browne (20-0, 15 KOs) has put together back-to-back impressive knockout victories to continue his rapid rise up the highly competitive 175-pound division. The 27-year-old southpaw knocked out Thomas Williams, Jr. in Cincinnati on Feb. 18, and followed it up with another stunning knockout victory over then-unbeaten Seanie Monaghan in Long Island on July 15. The 2012 U.S. Olympian will look to put himself in position for a world title fight with a convincing win on Jan. 20.

Ntetu (17-1, 4 KOs) was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo but lives and trains out of Quebec, Canada. The veteran won his first 16 pro fights, including victories over experienced challengers Milton Nunez and Oscar Riojas. Ntetu previously fought at Barclays Center in June 2016 when he went toe-to-toe with current super middleweight world champion David Benavidez before eventually suffering the first loss of his career.

Kownacki (16-0, 13 KOs) has made steady progress up the heavyweight ladder, scoring knockout victories in his last three matches. The 28-year-old Kownacki will be fighting for the sixth time at Barclays Center in his hometown of Brooklyn. In his last fight he knocked out former world title challenger Artur Szpilka at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. on July 15 in a matchup of top Polish heavyweights.

Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOs) will be fighting for a second straight time at Barclays Center after the 31-year-old scored a TKO victory over Pedro Rodriguez in his last fight on Nov. 4 in the non-televised undercard of Wilder-Stiverne II. The only loss of his career came via knockout to Youri Kayembre Kalenga in Berlin, Germany in 2013 back when he was fighting at cruiserweight. Kiladze is unbeaten since campaigning at heavyweight full time and looks to mark his arrival on the division on January 20th.

It Never Lets Up!

If you have wondered why I haven’t posted recently, let these photos tell the story of what I’ve been up to since spring break.

As some students headed out of town for the mid-term break, others left the country to go and serve the poorest of the poor with Mother Teresa’s nuns in the Dominican Republic and Mexico. Here they are at a dessert Mary and I hosted at our home the night before they departed.

March was filled with huge University events. Principal among them was the joint celebration of the Annunciation and our founder Tom Monaghan’s birthday. I had a lot of preparatory work to do so that meant early mornings in the office. As I worked at my desk the week before the big day, I looked out my window and saw this gorgeous sunrise above the Oratory, with the shining cross at its highest point.

The events could not have gone better and Tom could not have been happier.

The Sunday after the big weekend, Governor Rick Scott of Florida contacted me and asked if he could join Mary, my kids and me for Mass on Sunday. He could not have been more gracious. He met with numerous students and other Ave Maria parishioners after Mass. He was joined by the vice-chairwoman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Liesa Priddy, here pictured after Mass with the Governor and my family. If you ever wanted to know who owns all of the land on the other side of Oil Well Road, and has a huge ranch nearby, you now do. She is a great neighbor and friend of AMU.

That same Sunday an even more significant event took place: the official opening of the “Mary and Mercy Center” on the Piazza, next to the Mother Teresa Museum. AMU trustee Donna Bradt and her husband, Bill, invited Fr. Michael Gaitley to come to our community for a parish retreat and other activities. We are so very blessed to have this new resource in our community – go visit! An “ocean of Mercy” awaits!

As you watch the Masters Golf tournament this weekend, you will hear a lot about Arnie Palmer. He was one of my childhood heroes, and one of America’s most beloved sports figures. His sister, Sandy, and her husband, Vin Sarni, came for a campus visit, and a lunch in my office. They have been longtime supporters of AMU, as well as friends of Mary and me for over a decade. Great people. Ave’s Army!

The “engine room” of Ave Maria University and parish is the Martha J. Burke Adoration Chapel where there is 24/7 exposition of the Eucharist. Every year Mary and I look forward to the reception we host for the adorers – we have over 150 students who sign up for a specific hour each week, and many more who are regulars. Their prayers are transformative for AMU.

Mary not only enjoys being a hostess at the house for student receptions, she also loves to play intramural basketball on an AMU women’s team. I won’t say how old Mary is, but I will say that in the game I watched her play last week she scored 8 points! Her team is undefeated so far, and if any student referee calls a foul on her, I am going to have to convene a disciplinary committee!

Governor Scott was kind enough to invite me to sit next to him and Florida’s First Lady for the annual Red Mass in Tallahassee. This Eucharistic celebration brings Florida’s leading executive, judicial and legislative branch members together, as well as all of Florida’s Bishops. The photo after Mass shows our own bishop, His Excellency Frank Dewane, greeting the Scotts. After two Catholic services in three weeks, Governor Scott just might have earned the title of honorary Catholic!

Our Church now heads into Holy Week and the holiest days of the year, the Triduum. Today in the Ave Maria Church we had a unique presentation of the Stations of the Cross by Dr. Anthony Valle and a dozen of AMU student readers. Each individual station included a brief meditation in Mother Teresa’s own words. Dr. Valle deserves praise for his editing touch and inspired choices. I close this post with Mother Teresa’s final meditation addressed to Jesus:

You accepted patiently and humbly the rebuffs of human life, as well as the tortures of Your crucifixion and Passion. Help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us each day as opportunities to grow as people and become more like You. Enable us to go through them patiently and bravely, trusting that You will support us. Make us realize that it is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centred desires that we can come to live more fully; for it is only by dying with You that we can rise with You.

Have a blessed Holy Week and a triumphantly glorious Easter!

#President Jim Towey
