And I have to say you really hit the nail on the head (in my regard) with reference to the computer...I get so impatient with that thing! <BR/><BR/>Of course, the worst part about THAT is that it usually locks up just when I have a busy customer on the line looking for the answer to a simple question which will allow them to move on with their lives....so waiting is a domino effect. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, great, great homily and words I will need for today! <BR/><BR/>God Bless!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-1133361335694975422005-11-30T08:35:00.000-06:002005-11-30T08:35:00.000-06:00--The Apostolic recommendation of celibacy from th...--The Apostolic recommendation of celibacy from the earliest days of the Church made<BR/>sense, he explained, because St. Paul expected the end of the world at any moment. Fr.<BR/>Fessio immediately broke in with, "So do we! So do we!"--<BR/><BR/>I love this story b/c it really does point out the degree to which we have lost our sense<BR/>of moving toward an end. We have already pretty much lost any sense we had of having<BR/>come from a formative past and I'm not altogether sure we care much for our present. It<BR/>seems sometimes that we would rather live in a virtual present where we control<BR/>everything. Though technology is the most popular means of doing this, we do pretty well<BR/>with ole fashioned psychological and intellectual tools as well, e.g., the fetus of the<BR/>new and relativism.Fr.
