U2’s Songs of Transcendence

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

The first track on the album "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)" is Bono's telling of his musical epiphany which arrived the first time he heard Ramone sing. I found this particularly moving because in my life story, Bono is my Joey Ramone. Read more

Images of Rome, September 2014

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

I spent 10 days in Rome in early September following an intensive course of study on “The Catholic Church in the Age of Francis” at Pontificia Università della Santa Croce (aka the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross) as part of the Church Up Close program. I highly recommend it if you ever have the chance. Totally priceless experience. Read more

How do I properly thank the person who opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing — and marveling at — the world? How do I convey with words the deep bow of gratitude I wish I were present tonight to give you in person, for showing me “The God Factor” in everything — how to look and listen for it, what to do with it when I found it? Read more

Happy Birthday: We Are Good.

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

Today’s my birthday and I asked friends to send me YouTube links to their favorite songs so I could make a playlist. We’re up to about 75 now (and I will share it later) but my sweet friend Jennifer just sent a link that reminded me of a favorite I’d rather forgotten about over the years. Alanis’ words are my prayer for all of us today on the anniversary of my birth, and at the start of a new year... Read more

‘The Immigrant’ lands close to home

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

When she was 20 years old, she traveled from her home in Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan, Ireland, to Liverpool, England, where she purchased a second-class ticket and boarded The Baltic ocean liner. Eleven days later, on Dec. 19, 1920, she arrived at New York’s Ellis Island, alone, with $20 in her pocket. Her given name was Ellen Brady and she went by “Nellie,” but on his manifest, the immigration clerk recorded her first name as “Ellie.” She was my grandmother. It... Read more

The Poem That Inspired Aronofsky’s ‘Noah’

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am   By Cathleen Falsani

During our conversation, Aronofsky talked about a prose-poem he'd written as a 13-year-old seventh grader in Brooklyn that was inspired by the Noah story and launched him on his career path as a writer. He recently discovered the actual poem in a box of childhood mementos while searching for baseball cards for his seven-year-old son. Today, the director-screenwriter's representatives shared a PDF of his 'The Dove' poem, which you can see below, followed by its transcription. Read more
