| Description | "(Jesus said to this disciples), Proclaim the gospel to eve ry creature."~ Mark 16:15 Composer Giacomo Puccini was stricken by cancer while working on his last opera, Turandot. He said to his students, "If I don't finish it, finish it for me." Shortly afterward, he died. His students carried out his wish. In 1926, Puccini's favorite st udent, Arturo Toscanini, directed the premiere in Milan. When the opera r eached the point where Puccini was forced to put down his pen, Toscanini s topped the music, turned to the audience, and cried out, "Thus far the M aster wrote, but he died." A reverent silence filled the opera house. ; Then Toscanini picked up the baton again, smiled through his tea rs, and cried out, "But the disciples finished his work." At conclusion o f the opera, the audience broke into a tumultuous applause. ~ Mark Link, S.J. How prepared and willing are we Knights to help finish our Mast er's work? Are we proving it with our Council activities? |
