Taking back the Sacred

“I urge you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:1-2)

My Task

The Issue

The saints and the Church urge us to seek the kingdom of God. I have an annoying habit of sinning and many vices to overcome, but onward I journey (often to the confessional booth). As a Catholic I seek a vision thoroughly informed by the grace of the sacraments, the teaching authority of the Church, the saints and great spiritual writers, and fruitful dialogue with others. I ask for the humility and charity to seek Truth and share the grace I have received. I am neither infallible nor beyond reproach, please feel free to challenge my thinking. Where I discover Truth, I pray that God will grant me the humility to be receptive.

The purpose of this blog is to provide a public forum for my thoughts and cultural observations. I want to challenge to the conscience of this generation. I am interested in the role of faith and reason, culture, history, expressing charity without compromising truth, redeeming language and Catholic intellectual life, natural law, the saints, the oddities of humanity, eutrapalia, metaphysics, Thomism, existentialism, cultural apologetics, and more.

I also contribute to a group blog called Arrival: The Parousian Weblog. The Parousians are a Catholic philosophical and literary society.
