“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ― Martin Luther King

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word! I’ve been doing the Prayerline again. It’s wonderful to share with so many people. Of course, I get some people who get rude or unreasonable. It’s sad sometimes how arrogant people get. Where our authentic self developed skills through real experiences with Christ Jesus bring us our strength and spiritual identity in Christ. I guess it’s important to stay in my truth and understanding that I know.... And also allow others to hold their own perspectives independently even when I know they are false
10:45am 7/13/2025 What is important is to share and follow from where your truth is this very moment. Today you were excited about helping Joe with the welcome table but then after speaking with them for a while, you felt out of place and left. You really never spoke at all, but only listened into their conversion a bit. 
I really thought I was coming home to Work, but now feel more that it is time to share! Then I heard Larry's children were here and I was ready to go out and find southing to do with them. Yesterday we vacuumed up the kitchen and cleaned the floor. This time we pulled out some old bikes and got them working. So we rode around a bit and then Larry come out with us and took the kids on a longer ride somewhere. When they got back I was digging in the dirt and his daughter came and helped. They are really good kids and always went to help me with chores and such.

What makes a Catholic institution Catholic is it's declaring the lordship of Jesus and inviting people to share his life in the church . . . . That should be the dominant ethos of the institution that affects every aspect of the life of the place.


Bertrren Russell felt mathematics is the ground for our belief in the eternal. . . . I think mathematics introduces you to a higher world. Indeed, a world that can't be seen. It's not a world that is open to sense perception. When you sense the meaning of the number seven or 7 plus 5 equals 12 or the quadratic formula you're not in this world of ordinary sense experience. You moved into a higher world that is indeed eternal. . . . 
Now, you can go further and talk about angels and the soul, but start with elementary mathematics that introduces you into a higher spiritual world. That's right. It gives us the concept, the truth that something can be real and immaterial at the same time. . . And there it thereby refutes materialism as an ideology.now similarly looking at science like your a biologist or you're an astronomer or whatever you are in the scientific realm you're looking for an intelligible pattern otherwise you the science won't get off the ground if the world is just chaotic nonsense or it's just you know one random thing after another science we couldn't have predictability you couldn't draw conclusions you couldn't confidently predict what might happen science rests upon the assumption that the world is radically intelligible That's a religious idea. Again, we say God has created all things. That means all things are imbued with some kind of intelligibility which has come from a more primordial intelligence.

Catholic school has that keen sense that nothing in authentic science could ever be opposed to religion because they both come from the same source, namely from God, who is truth. We see it's so importantly when Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." He's not just saying, "I'm a person saying true things." Any prophet could say that. Yes. “I am the truth” and we can see He Is the logos made flesh. We say therefore all logic, all logos and the sciences all deal with logos intelligibility.  They're all related to him. He's the center of the sciences. He IS the Alpha and the Omega of the sciences. Freud understood the dynamics of the mind and I would say the dynamics of desire and see religion corresponds to the deepest desire of the heart. So we all have desires for different things, right? We seek various ends. But through
all those and above all those as a kind of trajectory and lure to all of those, there's the great desire for God, for ultimate truth and ultimate goodness

What happens to our fallen hearts is that we're seeking God in all the wrong places. We're at war with ourselves. But that war should lead you to finally now the surrender to God. The beautiful just as true propositions and true things in the world point to the truth ultimately of God. So all beautiful things speak finally of the source of all beauty. So the humanities of course should lead you to a consideration of God. As all Word all Truth of The Word! Christ as logos. I would say if the purpose is evangelization, right, that's declaring the lordship of Jesus, who's Jesus? If he's one teacher among many, then who cares? Have teach about him in in philosophy class. But if he's the logos made flesh, then he must pervade all of the logical enterprises of a school. Jesus must pervade the whole of its life. It's the ethos of the logos that makes it all work. . using those two Greek words. If the ethos of the logos isn't there, then you've lost the narrative that that permeates the entire institution. Yeah. You've lost the narrative.

 wow. . . so much so fast. . . I get it that I'm learning. . . and each day need to accept what shows up. 

What
I  Word!
What
I  I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.
