Veni Sancte Spiritus, veni per Mariam!
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."

Faith is reason grasping objective reality
"the point of departure of faith is an event, the encounter with an objective fact; it is not a doctrine or an abstract culture or a past, but a real presence, here and now, a phenomenon of different humanity, that is the only one that corresponds to the nature of what happened in the beginning...because Christianity is such an exceptional, objective fact before us, that exalts the 'I,' it unleashes all the criticality spoken of these days, all the capacity of reason" (Fr. Julián Carrón from Experience:The Instrument for a Human Journey, pgs. 28-29).
