Imagine if foot washing had become a sacrament, and that when Constantine and Charlemagne entered the church they had to wrap towels around their waste, kneel to the floor, and wash the feet of peasants.

Imagine if you and I had to do the same.

I’m not saying it should have become a sacrament. I’m not particularly interested in theologiz…

Blessed Holy Thursday to each of you!

Our littles still have trouble making it through the Holy Thursday liturgy, so we turn our living room into a garden to keep vigil with the Lord at home.

We put sleeping bags out for the kids so they can just fall asleep there while we pray. They look forward to it every year (as do I).

Have a blessed and prayerful Triduum, see you at Easter!

Per tradition, I’m putting way too much work into the next post. It’s morphed into a deep dive on one scene from Inside Llewyn Davis. I need a hobby.

According to some folks on social media, educated people don't believe in 'fairy tales'

The data says: Someone with a masters degree is just as likely to believe there is life after death as someone who didn't finish high school.

Child poverty becomes adult poverty with all of the stresses, failures and broken lives that costs society everywhere from loss of labor to crime and incarceration to disruptions and poor outcomes in schools. This feeds back into more poverty and failure. In so many unaccounted ways, poverty, an Amethyst social infection, costs far more than politicians, business leaders and voters will ever invest in to correct.

Poverty is one of an increasing number of denials that Americans are unwilling to face and address. All of which are bringing our nation down, holding us back and turning us into the broken "has been" that so many once great nations become.
