Fr. Norris Clarke: 1915-2008



I have just learned that Fr. Norris Clarke died in June. His impressive vitae is still available here. Anyone who knows me, or who reads my blog, will quickly figure out that I have been greatly influenced by Fr. Clarke's The One and the Many: A Contemporary Thomistic Metaphysics. Praise God for his life and work.



Lux æterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in æternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis ;
cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.

A thought-filled life lived well, it seems. Did you know him personally, Beth, or just receive his wisdom through his many writings? (and wow, were there many!!)
