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."

"Joyous free in flame and life"
With Summer frivolity out of the way, we return on Fridays to our regularly scheduled program. So, our traditio for this day is the unforgettable Billie Holiday singing Yesterdays.
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I’m dreamin' of
Yesterdays
Billie makes melancholy seem sweet, if bitterly so.
