St Christopher DTS Verona WI
REGINA: So how did Dead Poets Society prompt this?
EDDIE: In the film, the teacher helped the teenagers at the strict Boarding School discover the richness and inspiration in the writings and philosophies of many of the great writers and poets who’d gone before. Our conversation then became very enthusiastic when we imagined how cool it would be to discover the “gold” contained in the writings and lives of the Saints. We could discover when they lived, and more importantly, HOW they lived and how they died; what they might have been like as teenagers, their conversion stories, their struggles and how they strove to be Christ-like.
REGINA: Hmmm, interesting.
EDDIE: Most of us admitted that other than being able to identify a few of the most popular saints on a Holy Card, or a statue in a church, we knew little about them. We were genuinely inspired to learn more about these great men and women who are part of our Catholic heritage.
