. . . And so it
begins. I am reticent to begin such an
exercise. I’ve never in my life kept a
diary or journal of any sort and have resisted every suggestion that I do
so. I don’t even like the term “blog” as
it suggests to me some ill-prepared artless form of communication.
. . . But there
is that tug I feel to share thoughts on our faith and this may well be the most
efficient means of doing that.
. . . Then
again, once I get started . . .
. . . God help
me.
This is the plan:
I will make
daily entries on a variety of matters looking through the lens of our Catholic
faith. For instance, Vatican, diocese
and parish issues that are being discussed or should be discussed; issues and
events that should be considered within the framework of Catholic social
teaching; the challenges and concerns facing the Catholic family; the Sunday
liturgy as it relates to our daily lives.
Fortunately for
me and my reader, these writings will not be about me. They will, however, be about the world that I
witness, as filtered through my faith and biases; those of which I am aware and
those to which I am blind. For this I
make no apology but I do ask for patience and mercy from my reader. Perhaps we will find our paths cross more
than once on our journeys of faith.
Beginning the first of the year - 2014 - the posts will begin and they will end . . .
