from....amoris laetitia

.








....the words of Saint Robert Bellarmine,






.......the fact that one man unites with one woman
 in an indissoluble bond,
and that they remain inseparable
 despite every kind of difficulty,
even when there is no longer hope for children,
 can only be the sign of a great mystery.

l'amour serieux

Everybody says
 love is about finding
the person who is right for me
 and then everything will be fine.


But it's not like that.
 It involves work.
 An old man tells you this!






                         Alain Badiou

thoughts after walking through downtown seattle

The louder our world today is,
the deeper
           God seems
                  to remain
                             in silence.
Silence 
is the language of eternity;


 noise passes.






                      Gertrud von Le Fort

let's hear it for scientific advances

The smallest nuclear weapons
that have been publicly acknowledged
are the size of a trashcan,
although suitcase bombs
are alleged to exist.

let chivalry not die

Though a man excels in everything,
unless he has been a lover his life is lonely,
 and he may be likened to a jewelled cup
which can contain no wine

hold your horses

Christian theology
          is a hair's breadth away
                 from nihilism
