St. Augustine Catholic Church October 13, 2019 - Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Another lesson for us in this Gospel has to do with salvation. All 10 of the lepers were given the

gift of healing, but in his gratitude to God for this gift, the Samaritan found salvation. Our salva-

tion is found in recognizing the gifts we have been given and knowing to whom we must offer

our thanks.

Quote of the week

“Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are

and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.” ST. Augustine

Moments in Black history

Jessye Norman was one of the reigning divas of opera. The Augusta, Ga. native was born September 15, 1945,

and was a champion of diversity in her field. She was raised in a musical household and sang in her gospel choir as

a child. In high school, Norman entered the Marian Anderson vocal competition in Philadelphia. While she didn’t

win, her performance led to a full scholarship to Howard University. After graduating in 1967, Norman continued

her studies at Baltimore’s Peabody Conservatory before heading off to Europe to establish herself in the opera

world. 50 years ago, Norman made her operatic debut in Berlin for the production of “Tannhauser.” Over the fol-

lowing decades, Norman’s regal presence and powerful range impressed even the harshest of critics. In interviews,

Norman, who counted the aforementioned Anderson and Leotyne Price as inspirations, spoke about the increasing

diversity in opera and how she wanted to see more of it. Using her own platform and fame, Norman joined forces

with the Rachel Longstreet Foundation in 2004 to establish the Jessye Norman School of the Arts, a tuition-free

program for economically disadvantaged students in her Georgia hometown. Norman won four Grammy Awards,

a Kennedy Center Honors nod, and a National Medal of the Arts, among countless other accolades and awards.
