Not Laughing

The above video catches kids in a Washington State high school revealing their stunning ignorance of the most basic civics facts.
Its makers edited it heavily for laughs, so it is not, nor does it intend to be, a fair representation of what da yoots of America have in their heads.
Personally deflated by the defeat of marriage in Maryland yesterday, though, instead of laughing I’ve been thinking... READ MORE
"Being Catholic means 'paying a price'"

“What we bring is not an onerous burden – we bring a liberation. And people may not know they do want this good news from Jesus but it really is what they’re looking for.”
That’s a quote from Archbishop Allen Vigneron of Detroit, interviewed during a recent visit to the Vatican. I’m proud that he’s local to here. He’s a great man, and it’s a great interview, full of truth.
Read the whole thing at the Catholic News Agency website - it’s well worth your time.

Back in May Danielle alerted us to Fr. Robert Barron’s Catholicism Project. It’s here!
I haven’t been home to see the first installments on public television, but some friends were telling me last night that it’s blockbuster: stunningly gorgeous, and not didactic or preachy.
If you haven’t caught the buzz, here are a few links which describe what people are excited about, and how parishes and prayer... READ MORE

Benedict XVI is good about reminding us that our bodies and souls need periodic rest.
Here are three papal tips for a genuinely restorative vacation.
1. Use vacation time to restore and renew your relationships, especially your relationship with God. Be with each other as a family, and take the time to be with God in prayer.
2. Consult the two “books” of revelation. Tuck a Bible into your luggage... READ MORE

Easter
George Herbert
Rise, heart, thy lord is risen. Sing his praise
Without delays,
Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise
With him may’st rise:

His life may make thee gold, and, much more, just.

With all thy art,
The cross taught all wood to resound his name
Who bore the same.
His stretchèd sinews taught... READ MORE

The Incarnation & Passion
Henry Vaughn
Lord! when thou didst thyself undress,
Laying by thy robes of glory,
To make us more, thou wouldst be less,
And becam’st a woeful story.
To put on clouds instead of light,
And clothe the morning star with dust,

Brave worms, and earth! that thus could have
A God enclosed within your cell,
