Thursday morning found the students discussing a reading from Christian existentialist S酶ren Kierkegaard檚 Fear and Trembling. The work offers several scenarios of the story of Abraham in an attempt to determine whether or not his faith seems rational. Conversations were spirited, and the students were intrigued by the question of what faith is and what it entails, especially as modeled by our father in faith.

After Mass, study hall, and lunch, the students, prefects, chaplains, and a few tutors boarded three coach buses for Los Angeles and the . There they viewed world-renowned paintings, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and other works of art, including some by Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir, as well as sketches by Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Students also found time to take plenty of pictures around the museum檚 beautiful gardens, fountains, and outdoor patios.

After dinner at the Getty, the group went to the the L.A. Philharmonic檚 outdoor concert hall to enjoy a performance of Sibelius Violin Concerto in D Minor and Dvor谩k檚 Symphony No. 9 淔rom the New World. Listening to the beautiful classical music in the Hollywood Bowl檚 outdoor amphitheater was a perfect way to end a day experiencing some of the culture offered in the greater Los Angeles area..
