the gospel of hate. i'd like to think this is funny (i was listening to the video and a friend asked me if i was listening to the comedy channel) but unfortunately, we need to take people like that at least somewhat seriously.

god help him and send him love.

can't review this book because i haven't read it yet but would very much like to. has anyone else read it?

I never tire of seeing interesting photographs on the internet. There's a certain directness that I see in Ken's images that really attracts me.

An urban icon - the holy family in a bus shelter.

The saint of slaves, Peter Claver: "As new slaves arrived, Claver ran out to meet them, carrying food and clothes to the living and removing the bodies of those who had died. He cared for the weakest first and took the sick to a nearby hospital he had built. Using natives as interpreters, he then began sharing the Gospel with all who would hear. Having won their good will, he instructed and baptized them into the Faith. Claver dedicated his life to the service of these people, humbly caring for the lepers and those suffering from smallpox, cleaning their sores and consoling them when others were disgusted by their diseases. He and the slaves he ministered to would prepare great banquets to celebrate holy days, inviting and ministering to the lepers, slaves, and beggars.

The apostle was accused of indiscreet zeal, and of having profaned the Sacraments by giving them to "creatures" deemed to scarcely possess a soul, even though Pope Paul III had proclaimed in his encyclical Sublimis Deus that non-European peoples had souls and were eligible to receive the sacraments of the Catholic Church. Indeed, many found the sense of dignity Claver gave the slaves a dangerous thing."

While the text of this entry is interesting, what caught me the most was the title of this entry combined with the image. A fractal icon.

A fabulous article on the Christian Trinity: "The Christian hope in seeking God's realm and will is that those who taste this abundant, divine life will be strengthened to develop and share it as widely as possible. For �oeWe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ…We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God… And hope does not disappoint us, because God�s love is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.”"
