It's ironic--for me, anyway--that you'd post this link today. Just yesterday, while doing a Google search for something completely unrelated--a link took me to that very site! I'd never heard of it before and didn't pay it much attention once I did get there because the information I was searching for wasn't there. Now maybe I should go back and have a look since it's come up twice in two days? Some say there's no such thing as coincidence . . . :)

I have listened to you speak. You have a great understanding, wonderful thoughts, and an effective delivery. I investigated this website because I thought that you would have good judgement.

Are you sure that you love this website? Archetypes of the "Mature Masculine derived from Freud and Jung??? The "Economics of Happiness"??

Rick, thanks for your thoughts. I do love the concept of the site and it seems like it has a lot of good stuff on it but, like with many things in life, not every single thing may be the helpful. That's where we get to use our gift of discernment :)

It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr. Pinto's funeral will be tomorrow in India. It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr. Barron about the true nature of Advent, we never know when God will take us home. The media and secular society loves to mock celibacy and the priesthood but it's easy to see that Fr. Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children. To say that he will b...

Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful....Or Are You Beautiful Because I Love You?

When I first heard the song Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella , I pondered it for a long time. The setting in the musical is the royal palace garden and the Prince has just seen Cinderella and danced with her. He is captivated by her beautiful form and finds himself falling in love with her. He then begins to sing "Do I love you because you're beautiful or are you beautiful because I love you?" Obviously fairy tales speak a deep meaning and are meant to be more than just a superficial story, and so it is with this song. Philosophers and theologians from of old have heralded beauty (ultimately Divine Beauty) as the attraction of our souls. We are attracted to beauty. But there is another, deeper, aspect to love. Love makes things beautiful. When love is placed in a situation, it invites and elicits beauty. What may appear "ugly" to someone on the surface, is beautiful to the one who loves. This is why ...
