Theological Juvenology

The Ruah Woods' banquet is tomorrow, which means my blogging time has been severely curtailed. However, this offers the perfect opportunity to encourage you to read our banquet keynote speaker's wonderful reflections on John Paul II's "theological juvenology." John Paul II's method is also the "method" we use in Kenosis. It is so encouraging for me to read and reread Fr. Landry's articulation of the late Holy Father's approach to the young.

It's that time of year again

Kenosis meetings begin for the school year tonight! It's hard to believe we are ready for year #2. We have a great year planned -- awesome teens, a great adult core team, interesting topics and a readiness to be surprised by God's plan for us this year.

TOB Day!

Today, 32 years ago, Blessed John Paul II began delivering the collection of audiences we now know as Theology of the Body. I'm not sure how one may go about celebrating an event such as this, but it's worth celebrating.

For my part, I plan to celebrate by beginning the course I am offering at Mt. St. Mary's Seminary (of the West) on Theology of the Body. It may be Labor Day, but how many people are able to begin teaching about a particular work on its birthday?

"Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than one not fearing danger of falling. It is almost an infallible sign that he will fall, and with great danger to his soul." -- St. Philip Neri

Having just been in Spain where talk of "The Camino" was frequent, this much anticipated film seems to have even more relevance.
