"The Final Gladness"

A book that really changed my life is Fr. James Schall, S.J.'s, Another Sort of Learning (buy it here). I gather that he has announced his plans to retire from Georgetown University.  Here (HT:  First Things) is the announcement of his "last lecture", "The Final Gladness", at Georgetown, on December 7.  Seriously:  If you are in D.C., don't miss this.
