Rapper Fr. Stan Fortuna, CFR is a Franciscan friar who belongs to the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. He is a fairly well-known rapper, who lives and serves in their friary in the South Bronx. This number is Everybody Got 2 Suffer. It is our Friday traditio, the last Friday before Lent. So, in the most sincere way, offer it up!
"Pray to abstain from the lie sustain the truth
We got to come together y’all we loosin mad youth
Pain is a part of life its somethin we all feel
Give your time and your money to the needy keep it real
Sufferin is like a good thief it gives no warnin
Let’s stop playin the game, fa real, God is callin".
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."
