Odo Casel

The actual title of the essay was:

Odo Casel's Contribution to Liturgy


Because I have already completed this section of the deaconal course I didn't have to redo the essays, but I felt maybe I should make an effort so I picked a different question and wrote about Odo Casel. Like the Romano Guardini essay that I wrote last time I really enjoyed the research and writting of this essay.

My mark for this essay was NO MARK YET.

Eucharistic Theology

The actual title of the essay was:

Outline and compare the Eucharistic theology of two theologians.
St. Thomas Aquinas and Odo Casel


In my opinion my best work, in my marks my worst. I tried really hard here and I guessed I missed. Somehow I really enjoyed reading St. Thomas Aquinas, his work though very dry and difficult to get into seemed to have something about it. I got used to the style of writing, almost like a modern PowerPoint presentation. My spelling did my no favours in the marking (leaving a ‘t’ of Christ was the worst), although in my defence I did proof read the essay a number of times, I just don’t see mistakes I have made myself.

My mark for this essay was 46%.
