The Commonplace Book of Zadok the Roman, one of the first blogs I read regularly and which is still one of my favorites, draws attention to a letter, the translation of which appeared on Zenit. This letter attests that light always overcomes darkness, except in black holes, of which there are none on this earth, including present-day Iraq. So, with no further commentary, the letter, written by a Muslim friend after the martyr's death by a Muslim, who is a professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
Letter from a Muslim friend.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
