Comment on Statement On Gun Violence by Ron Crawford https://cst.edu/news/statement-on-gun-violence/#comment-54 Tue, 14 Jun 2022 16:05:40 +0000 https://cst.edu/?p=31902#comment-54 My sincere thanks to Dr. Kuan and all who posted here. This issue feels more personal to me than most. I lost a personal friend who took his own life with a handgun, and I stood beside two business associates who had just learned of a shooing that claimed the lives of two employees in their place of business.
I struggle to find my voice – to move beyond my anger and to work for real and effective changes that will reduce the gun violence in our nation. Words still escape me, but I am in solidarity with those who work to bring about change.

Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.

Comment on In Memoriam: Dr. William “Jack” Coogan by Michael Bever https://cst.edu/news/in-memoriam-dr-william-jack-coogan/#comment-42 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 21:20:44 +0000 https://cst.edu/?p=30380#comment-42 I called Jack, Sensei. I do not remember when his voice wasn’t there. Truly a spiritual master of highest order.

This is what I learned from Jack over 50 years…

“Wait till I stop talking. Then you will hear me.”

“If you listen with your ears, you can’t understand.
When you hear with the eyes, then you’ll see directly.”

Zen Master Dongshan Liangjie (807-869)

In 1966 I was working on my Rel.D. at CST, and remember Jerry well. I took a break to work out some questions in a parish,, and returned in 1970-71 to complete the doctorate. Jerry, I wish you well. Thanks for all you have done for others.

He taught us that religion, culture and art are perhaps the most honest and insightful voices of humanity. He struck me as a man with a fierce gentleness – the kind that makes you stop and pay attention. Jack, I love you and miss you.
