Catholic and Enjoying It!
He was my pastor for years at Blessed Sacrament, then got shanghaied by the Western Dominican Province and sent to be the Prez of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Oakland. Recently he gave this typically thoughtful and beautiful Lenten reflection. Here’s a taste:
“No evil can befall you, unless you yourself permit it. Even though you should be put to death, not a hair of your head will perish. You have no earthly measure; you remain in the world for the sake of the world, but you are not of the world and the world cannot define you. You are subservient to no one, save to God himself, and he has called you “friend” and “beloved.” You are never alone, for the Son has promised that he will be with you always.”
Love, love, love the guy.
