“The nation, like the church, has its visible symbols and insignia, its parchments engrossed with the revealed word, its dogmas, hymns, liturgy, holy day celebrations, its early Fathers, prophets and martyrs, its priesthood and its lay sodality, its myths of sacred genesis and apocalyptic crises, its world-saving mission and its missionaries.” WorldFatherNationsChurchHolyCrisisSacredLaysMissionsMythSymbolsSavingProphetVisibleCelebrationDogmaMartyrGenesisHymnsPriesthoodApocalypticLiturgyHoly Days Book:The Anti-communist Impulse Source: The Anti-communist Impulse

“So often times we see these films that erode human dignity...films that deny the transcendent moral order of the moral universe. They're always eroding natural affections for families. Fathers betray their commitments, children's are always portrayed as brats and disobedient, marriages are always in crisis and struggle. I think (for) most of us, that's not the lives we live. We're always being challenged, we always have challenges but we love our families, we love our spouse, we love our children.” ThinkingHumansChildrenFilmOrderUniverseFatherNaturalChallengesMoralStruggleCommitmentDignityOur ChildrenCrisisAffectionDenyOur FamilyBetraySpouseTranscendentHuman DignityErodeBratLove Our ChildrenLove Our Family Author:Jason Jones
“I don't know if God exists and I don't care. God's will and design for this temporal and spatial vastness, if any, is so patently, deliberately impenetrable that I doubt any mortal has a grasp on it. The very inexplicability of sad events like the tsunami, like the AIDS crisis or even like the cancer death of the father of one of my daughter's 2nd-grade classmates last week are, to me, reminders to focus on our obligations to one another, not to the infinite; to honor the creator, if any, by honoring creation itself and hoping that's good enough.” IfsKnowsEnoughCareLastsFatherDoubtFocusWeekEventsDesignCreationHonorDaughterInfiniteCrisisCancerCreatorDon't CareAidsGods WillObligationMortalsI Don't CareGradesMy DaughterGood EnoughRemindersGod ExistsVastnessTsunamiClassmatesSpatialCancer Death Author:Eric Zorn
“From the tiny birds of the air and from the fragile lilies of the field, we learn the same truth, which is so important for those who desire to live a life of simple faith: God takes care of His own.

“I started to change. It was sort of a restaurant mid-life crisis, you could say. I lost a lot of confidence, not so much as a father or as a friend, but as a boss, as a chef that's to make decisions throughout the day all the time. I just slowly started burning out. Once you lose your confidence like that, you start being angry in the kitchen. I couldn't recognize myself anymore. I started writing the journal.

“Now, now," my father said. "Let's just get the bags." This was typical. My father, the lone male in our estrogen-heavy household, had always dealt with any kind of emotional situation or conflict by doing something concrete and specific. Discussion of cramps and heavy flow at the breakfast table? He was up and out the door to change oil on one of our cars. Coming home in tears for reasons you just didn't want to discuss? He'd go make you a grilled cheese, which he'd probably end up eating. Family crisis brewing in a public place? Bags.

“It's been written that the most sublime figure in American history was George Washington on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge. He personified a people who knew that it was not enough to depend on their own courage and goodness, that they must also seek help from God - their Father and preserver. Where did we begin to lose sight of that noble beginning, of our conviction that standards of right and wrong do exist and must be lived up to? Do we really think that we can have it both ways, that God will protect us in a time of crisis even as we turn away from him in our day-to-day life?” PeopleThinkingWayEnoughGodHelpingTurnsFatherLosesWrittenFiguresDependsProtectGoodnessStandardsSightCrisisConvictionNobleGods WillSnowKneesValleysAmerican HistoryDay To DaySublimeGod HelpDay LifeDay To Day LifeTimes Of CrisisValley Forge Author:Ronald Reagan

“Crisis or transition of any kind reminds us of what matters most. In the routine of life, we often take our families-our parents and children and siblings-for granted. But in times of danger and need and change, there is no question that what we care about most is our families! It will be even more so when we leave this life and enter into the spirit world.
