  • Summary

  • “If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the blind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber.” - Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners

  • A Spiritual Life Tethered To Reality

    A Spiritual Life Tethered To Reality
    Jul 12 2024
    In the Gospel from Mark 6, Jesus sends out the twelve apostles with authority over demons, to anoint with oil to cure the sick and the power to preach the good news, "Repent." In short, go beyond your mind (metanoia) and change how you think. We tether our spiritual life to reality when we meditate on the circumstances of our upcoming death and what it says about our life in the here and now. Take courage and follow 'the Way.'

  • They Flew: Be Skeptical about Skepticism

    They Flew: Be Skeptical about Skepticism
    Jul 7 2024
    Jesus comes home to Nazareth in Mark 6. He is met with skepticism and rejection despite all of his signs and teaching. Dr. Carlos Eire of Yale University has written a book challenging the ubiquity of modern skepticism. In They Flew: A History of the Impossible, Dr. Eire discusses levitation and other preternatural phenomenon amongst three Catholics, St. Theresa of Avila, St. Joseph Cupertino and Ven. Maria Agreda. Multiple witnesses and many fantastic experiences open up a discussion of what is possible in reality. Eire challenges the comfortable skepticism and its foundations with a discussion of the history of the impossible.

    God, Love And Loneliness
    Jun 22 2024
    What is love? Is it based on the qualities another has, or the length of a relationship, or just something inside me?
