Join Linda and Jack as they discuss what the world seeks to destroy, the beauty of love.

#492 Take A Deep Breath! Exhale. Peace In The Midst of Chaos: "Restoring The Lords Day", Reviving Our Human Nature, With Daniel Fitzpatrick

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

Daniel Fitzpatrick and I discuss "Restoring the Lord's Day" his new book, written in a way that is like a balm for the body and the soul. How Reclaiming Sunday will flow over and revive our Human Nature.
We live in a culture and a society in need of healing, and our conversation turned to the sanctuary of Sundays, a day that seems to have lost its sacredness amidst our hectic schedules. As Daniel and I shared personal stories and theological insights, he illuminated the deep-seated yearnings for connection and the spiritual rejuvenation that can be found in the rhythms of the liturgy—reminding us all that the Lord's Day is more than obligation; it's a foundation for a fulfilled life.
Daniel Fitzpatrick lives in New Orleans with his wife and four children. He is the author of the novels Only the Lover Sings and First Make Mad. His verse translation of the Divine Comedy, illustrated by Timothy Schmalz, was published in 2021 in honor of the seven hundredth anniversary of Dante’s death. He is the editor of Joie de Vivre, a journal of art, culture, and letters for South Louisiana, and he teaches English at Jesuit High School of New Orleans.

#494 Dear Young People, "In You There Is Hope!"...but to discover it you must seek the truth more passionately than the generation that proceeded you

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

“In you there is hope, for you belong to the future, just as the future belongs to you. For hope is always linked to the future; it is the expectation of future good things.” --Pope John Paul ll

As a Christian virtue hope is linked to the expectation of those eternal good things which God has promised to man in Jesus Christ. And at the same time, this hope, as both a Christian and a human virtue, is the expectation of the good things which man will build, using the talents given him by Providence.[1]

In this sense the future belongs to you young people, just as it once belonged to the generation of those who are now adults, and precisely together with them it has become the present reality. Responsibility for this present reality and for its shape and many different forms lies first of all with adults. To you belongs responsibility for what will one day become reality together with yourselves, but which still lies in the future.[2]

When we say that the future belongs to you, we are thinking of human impermanence, which is always a journey towards the future.[3] The world that you find yourself in at this moment took shape by the young people who came before you and are now grown up. How did they do? Are you happy with the world, and if not, what will you do differently?

I ask, do you have hope? Not all young people do. My heart goes out to them and to you, these are confusing times in which to grow up.
