Created to Creator
I encountered Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem “Pied Beauty” last fall, clasped in the pages of a green and white anthology. I immediately recognized its beauty; it is a playful thing, quick-witted and high-spirited.

The Vatican Billions
How can the Church justify sitting on piles of cash while people around the world are living in poverty? When Her own founder said, “Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven” (Mk 10:21)?

The primary vocation of every person is to love, to strive for an agape love that extends beyond a philia love.

Stop Freaking Out About Your Job
But your specific variety of work does not define you. And the more you think that it does or should, the more you dig yourself into a pit of anxiety and self-pity.

Love is gentle and kind, quietly observant of the persona’s hesitancy, and his questioning is not interrogative but “sweet."

This Fine-Tuned Universe
The fact that our universe is life-permitting doesn’t give us evidence for the Many Universe Hypothesis. It does, however, give us evidence for a fine-tuning God.

[In The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky,] the Grand Inquisitor points his finger at Christ and sentences him to death: “To-morrow I shall burn Thee. Dixi.”

Confession as Freedom
I would suggest that, logically, those who are the most enslaved are those who don’t even know that they’re slaves.
