So I was thinking that it would be muchos fantastic if everyone could pray perhaps a rosary tonight at around 930 o clock for the kids coming to Antioch. We will join in spiritual communion.\n

But, Heaven is outside of time, so if you can\u2019t, no worries. May God make us humble of heart and earnest in spirit!<\/p><\/div>\n

Now this isn\u2019t exactly the average humorous conversation, or the average conversation, period, but it serves my point. Which is that it\u2019s funny to be Catholic. But before that, as with most things, it\u2019s funny to be human. If humor is found in incongruity, then we are the greatest joke around. A rather awkward clash of beast and god, we\u2019re the original \u201cwhat do you get when you cross a ___ with a ____\u201d joke. We don\u2019t quite fit; we\u2019re the only animals unsatisfied with our home on earth, constantly fighting with our own fallen nature.<\/p>\n

If humor is found in the\u00a0unexpected, we should crack ourselves up when we pass each other on the street. There is nothing quite so startling, quite so very shocking as another human being, and one walking around at that. All of us were quite unexpectedly saved by a God who loves us. All of us are miracles of grace.<\/p>\n

If humor is simply that which doesn\u2019t make sense, well that\u2019s true too. The love of God makes no sense whatsoever. That\u2019s a fact I\u2019m often hit with in Adoration, actually, that the love of God is crazy stupid, by all practical\u00a0measurements. I\u2019ve often laughed out loud, not at God, but with God, full of incomprehension of his divine love, reduced to saying, WHY? Why do you love screw-ups and scorners? Who knows. The riddles of God are more satisfying then the answers of man.<\/p>\n

So be joyful!<\/p>\n
