With all the trappings of the Christmas season upon us, a world in chaos, and my annual weekend MEN OF MALVERN retreat quickly approaching, I thought it appropriate to present this observation made by Mark Shea, a contributor of The National Catholic Register, which puts everything in a rather concise, clear, and inspired perspective...:
"A culture of death is a culture of fear. And as long as it is impenitent, it will persist in attempting to stick more and ever more band-aids on the thousand open and running sores instead of repenting being a culture of death. That's why we are so rapidly morphing into a security state. We hope that technology, regulation, and force will save us. The narrative of this world is that trusting God is pollyanna nonsense. As long as we embrace that folly and keep trusting in money, sex, and power we will continue to sink into fear.
This Advent: repent! It's the only way."
I'll surely be doing that this weekend...and a lot of praying...!!!
Have a great weekend...!!!
