Sacred Heart Schools Performing Arts Center

Atherton, CA 94027
Fr. Ron Murphy is back again for another Faculty Ambassador engagement. This time Fr. Murphy takes us on an odyssey through literature using a special lens he has developed over years of teaching literature at Georgetown. This lecture is sure to have wide appeal and you will never read fiction or look at popular mythology in the same way again. You will be moved by a sense of personal journey to, and
through, literature. Fr. Murphy will also discuss nature of
realization in his attempt to give a personal answer to an intriguing and mysterious question: "When did Jesus realize his Divinity?" This is Georgetown teaching at its best – stellar scholarship combined with warm humanism.
In the past Fr. Murphy has spoken about the Brothers Grimm, the Holy Grail and the role of the Christ as Warlord in medieval Saxon Literature. Murphy will illuminate the common thread that makes these stories so appealing to us to this very day.
