Communion with this God is at once also communion with those others who have entrusted themselves in faith to the same God. Hence one and the same act of faith places a person into a new relationship both with God and with all others who stand in communion with God. —Miroslav Volf

Eva Marie Saint was a favorite of mine. I loved her opposite Cary Grant in ‘North by Northwest.’ Rest in peace, Eva Marie!

RIP St. Francis of Assisi, died this day 1226, exactly 800 years ago, tomorrow is his feast day. He has always been my favorite saint. "A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows." "Make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love."

The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?’ —Martin Luther King Jr.

Most of these Buechner sermons were given as a guest preacher. He did not have to then live with his hearers. So he could say stuff like- "It is no easy matter to save us when half the time we don't even want to be saved because we are so at home in the darkness that is home."🕯😊

My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country.

Born on this day in 1571, in Milan, the incomparably brilliant Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Here (more or less) by himself. Shocked at being dead.

My three favorite Hitchcock films: 1. ‘North by Northwest’ 2. ‘To Catch a Thief’ 3. ‘Rear Window’. I also have a fondness for the old version of ‘The 39 Steps’ w Robert Donat.

This morning I read this absolutely radical thought in Karl Rahner that the individual believer’s personal relationship with Jesus Christ leads to love of God and love of one’s neighbor!

And this brilliant tautology from Karl Rahner: “A person is always a Christian in order to become one.” (Foundations, p. 306).

He spent 7yrs in foster care, in 13 different foster homes. He got his first acting job after answering an ad he saw in a shop window. He was given nothing, was meant to achieve nothing. Aged 30 BARRY KEOGHAN was nominated for an Oscar for this. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN (2022)
