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."

"A world in white gets underway.."
U2's classic New Year's Day seems like the best Friday traditio on this first day of the second decade of the 21st century, though, as with the millennium itself, it is better calculated 2001-2010, making New Year's Day 2011 the first day of the second decade of the third Christian millennium. Anyway, we ushered in 2000 with great fanfare, why not 2010?
"Under a blood red sky/A crowd has gathered in black and white/Arms entwined, the chosen few/The newspapers says, says/Say it's true it's true..."
Only in Christ Jesus can we move forward in hope, which is certainty about the future, reassured of our destiny.
