Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

Summer break, and some helpful reflections from those at the center of public discourse. This is a brief piece by Richard Rohr. Money quote: Jesus is really saying that we are punished by our sins rather than for our sins.

Francis, like Jesus, refused to exclude things from the garden of grace; there is no exclusionary instinct in either of them—except toward exclusion itself! Francis had a genius for not eliminating the negative, but instead using it, learning from it, and thus incorporating it. He goes to the edge and the bottom of society, he kisses the leper, he loves the poor. He doesn’t hide from his shadow self but advertises it. So much of our religion has taught us to deny or hide our shadow, which forces us into a fatal split from foundational reality. To read more, click here. . .

Love this! You can't make it up. St. Francis would be smiling. God bless the squirrel. . . .

Going

Deeper

An interview with the publisher of The New York Times, A.G. Sulzberger, that is a breath of fresh air into the fraught public square that so consumes much of the media. You may not agree with everything, but the desire to find and report the truth is compelling. . . .
