Will we turn our backs on science because it is perceived as a threat to God, abandoning all the promise of advancing our understanding of nature and applying that to the alleviation of suffering and the betterment of humankind? Alternatively, will we turn our backs on faith, concluding that science has rendered the spiritual life no longer necessary, and that traditional religious symbols can now be replaced by engravings of the double helix on our alters? Both of these choices are profoundly dangerous. Both deny truth. Both will diminish the nobility of humankind. Both will be devastating to our future. And both are unnecessary. The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. He can be worshipped in the cathedral or in the laboratory. His creation is majestic, awesome, intricate and beautiful - and it cannot be at war with itself. Only we imperfect humans can start such battles. And only we can end them. ↗
All love tends to become like that which it loves. God loved man; therefore He became man. For nine months her own body was the natural Eucharist, in which God shared communion with human life, thus preparing for that greater Eucharist when human life would commune with the Divine. Mary’s joy was to form Christ in her own body; her joy now is to form Christ in our souls. In this Mystery, we pray to become pregnant with the Christ spirit, giving Him new lips with which He may speak of His Father, new hands with which He may feed the poor, and a new heart with which He may love everyone, even enemies. ↗

What sticks with me now is that this man said he needed to get to a hospital. He probably needed to reach his destination more than anyone else on the bus, yet he lacked the capacity to ride without getting kicked off. Maybe he reached the hospital eventually, and maybe he was connected with social workers and housing specialists who will help him transform his life. But I fear he got on another bus, and another bus after that, without going anywhere at all. ↗

Der Glaube an Gott ist ein Sichöffnen, ein Loslassen, ein tiefes Vertrauen, eine bedingungslose Liebe – aber manchmal war es so schwer zu lieben. Manchmal sank mein Herz vor Wut, Verzagtheit und Erschöpfung so tief, dass ich befürchtete, es würde bis ganz hinab auf den Grund des Pazifiks sinken und ich würde es nie wieder heraufziehen können. In solchen Augenblicken versuchte ich mir Mut zu machen. Ich fasste mir an den Turban, den ich mir aus den Überresten meines Hemds gewunden hatte und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES HUT!“ Ich fuhr mir über meine Hosen und rief: „DAS SIND GOTTES KLEIDER!“ Ich wies auf Richard Parker und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES KATZE!“ Ich wies auf das Rettungsboot und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES ARCHE!“ Ich breitete meine Arme weit und rief: „DAS SIND DIE GÖTTLICHEN GEFILDE!“ Ich hob den Finger zum Himmel und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES OHR!“ Auf diese Weise rief ich mir ins Gedächtnis, was die Schöpfung war und wo ich meinen Platz darin hatte. ↗
Sometimes in this life, only one or two opportunities are put before us and we must seize them no matter the risk. ↗
