Please Help

 Can you take the time to help this Student Brother?  Brother John Paul Puschautz      jpuschautz@opwest.org               Happy Lent! 

"I would like to ask for a favor. I am working on finishing my STL (Sacred License in Theology) thesis on praying Visio Divina with the art of Fra Angelico. I have created a Youtube meditation, walking through the different steps and now I would like to hear from you if this method of prayer works. I am hoping to include some comments from the viewers in an ethnographic portion of the thesis. If you can take some time this week to pray with this video and respond to the questions attached, I would be VERY grateful. If you can help me out then you can fill out the questionnaire document as well as the consent form attached (I need this because the thesis will be published). As I am in a bit of a time crunch to graduate this year if you can get this back to me by next week 2/27 that would be amazing. 

 

I will be producing one more vision divina this week and can send that if you are interested in helping out with that one as well. Thank you so much!

Visio Divina with Fra Angelico:

                                                    INTERVIEW CONSENT FORM 

Thank you for participating in this research project entitled VISIO DIVINA WITH FRA ANGELICO. 

This is a study of the contemporary impact of the paintings of Fra Angelico. The principal investigator for this study is Br John Paul Puschautz, a Catholic religious Dominican Friar and STL student at the Jesuit School of Theology. The main benefit of participating in this study is that you will have the satisfaction of helping others understand the importance of art as an aide for prayer. Quotations from this interview may appear in published form in a thesis and eventually an article or book Br John Paul intends to write. You are free to leave any question blank. Participants will be identified by first name and city/state/country of origin (if applicable). A pseudonym can be used if preferred. If, after this interview, you have any questions, or would like to amend your transcript in any way, you are welcome to do so by contacting Br. John Paul Puschautz at jpuschautz@opwest.org 

I agree to participate in the Praying with Painting study.
