Take Courage

I don't gather that God wants us to pretend our fear doesn't exist, to deny it, or eviscerate it. Fear is a reminder that we are creatures - fragile, vulnerable, totally dependent on God. But fear shouldn’t dominate or control or define us. Rather, it should submit to faith and love. Otherwise, fear can make us unbelieving, slavish, and inhuman. I have seen that struggle: containing my fear, rejecting its rule, recognizing that it saw only appearances, while faith and love saw substance, saw reality, saw God's bailiwick, so to speak: "Take courage, it is I. Do not be afraid!"
-Philip Berrigan

[Reader Nilus]

If science is unable to provide for people's subsistence, and there is a shortage of space, people are going to throw their babies into latrines, or eat them. I won't be surprised if they do both, especially if science suggests it to them. When food becomes scarce and science becomes unable to provide for food and fuel, whereas the world's population continues to rise, it will become necessary to stop the further growth of population. Science says it isn't your fault nature has arranged things that way, and the instinct of self-preservation being first and foremost, it follows that babies must be burnt. That is the morality of science. So the burning of babies will become habitual. For all the moral principles in man are only relative if he must rely on nothing but his own strength.
Fydor Dostoevsky The Notebooks of Demons

Be the one to swim against the flow, to set your own standards,
to be different, and stand for something.

If the church wants a better preacher, it only needs to pray for the one it has.

 

[tulc]

Because they know not the forces of nature, and in order that they may have comrades in their ignorance, they suffer not that others should search out
anything, and would have us believe like rustics and ask no reason ...
But we ask in all things a reason must be sought.
-William of Conches (1080-1154)

Under the Skin
A church that doesn't provoke any crises, a gospel
that doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't
get under anyone's skin, a word of God that doesn't
touch the real sin of the society in which it is being
proclaimed - what gospel is that? Very nice, pious
considerations that don't bother anyone, that's the
way many would like preaching to be. Those
preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not
to be harassed, so as not to have conflicts and
difficulties, do not light up the world they live in.
-Oscar Romero
