Click here for today’s Mass readings!
In today’s readings, we are hit with the imagery of the flood. The First Reading recounts God’s promise to never destroy mortal beings with water. In reciting the Psalm, we allude to that covenant, singing of God’s love from of old. Furthermore, from the…

A Psalm in Seven Haiku
For everyday I
fed myself, but not my soul,
I beg Your mercy.
For everyday I
have sought to defy Your plans,
I beg Your mercy.
For everyday I
have failed to love as You love,
I beg Your mercy.
For everyday I
have closed my heart to Your touch,
I beg Your mercy.
For everyday I
refused Your tender embrace,
I beg Your mercy.
For everyday I
cruelly pierced Your Sacred Heart,
I beg...

ephremhiphop:
This year, I intended to watch the Grammy’s, if at least to point out some of the strange absurdities in our culture that become glorified at the Grammy’s. Somehow, maybe, I feel like I can be a decent hero to alarm the readers on my blog. It may not be much, as if anybody with…

The Counter-Cultural Church has a Credible “Yes” →
by Elizabeth Scalia at First Things
Excerpt: The secularist society does not want to hear alternative thought; they want a simple “yes,” to whatever is on the agenda of the worldly world and suits its values. People seem not to realize that far from being an Institution of No, the church is a giant and eternal urging toward “Yes”—a self-actualized “yes” formed through an engagement with what...
