1107


God work in us to will and to work, so that we may glorify him and love him as He has loved himself. When our time comes, that we shall return to Him. We should become an offering, the offering which is ourselves. By our work, we hope that this offering is a good offering, that we may be holy at the end. A holy gift for the holy One.
Jesus tells us that our work should be prudent. God has given us desire, but when we are called to give up and detach from earthly desire, we must be able to turn the desires to God alone. It is right that we have desire since without desire there is not sacrifice.

We would not then, hesitate to employ the most extravagant chalice for the one we love entirely. Indeed, then the food does taste better not in its change in its saltiness, but i...

I have many coronavirus jokes but I am afraid all that is clever about it has already been mentioned. All the repulsion against masks, and likewise, the complaints against people not wearing mask. I suspect that the population that are pro-mask are largely also pro-batman, pro-spiderman, etc... Indeed, we have found our superhero in the mighty surgical mask wearing physician, who are worthy of commemoration with solemn statues. Sometimes I wonder the environmental implication of the mass production of the many disposable surgical masks. Given this consideration, it makes sense to restrict usage of masks for only the physician class. What about the laity? Should the laity be allowed to wear mask? Perhaps that is a good idea for the sake of our life too. Somewhere in the depths of a maximum security prison, a mathematician is smiling at this great turmoil of the world. While we are at ...
