As we mark this day on which Teilhard was born in France in 1881, we celebrate the three wonderful screenings in Rome of TEILHARD: Visionary Scientist which took place this April, 100 years to the month when Teilhard embarked on his 20-year exile to China. (That exile would be followed by another to New York City, where he died on Easter, 1955.) We will be posting memories from each of those three screenings in the weeks to come, continuing to rejoice as we do so in this long-awaited recognition of Teilhard and his vision.

In "The Divine Milieu." Teilhard de Chardin wrote: "Christ has conquered death, not only by suppressing its evil effects, but by reversing its sting. By virtue of Christ's rising again, nothing any longer kills inevitably but everything is capable of becoming the blessed touch of the divine hands." May this be our prayer on this .
