Oblate Offerings: October 2009
http://oblateofferings.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Integrating Benedictine Spirituality Into Life In The Modern Day World. Friday, October 30, 2009. A lot of dynamics come to bear on the Protestant soul that is drawn to Catholic Christianity. The dynamics involve both interior and exterior dimensions. This multi-dimensional journey can indeed be quite a crisis of faith, not only for the soul on the journey but also for the host of spectators viewing from up close and far away. The implicit life-parallels contained in this parable are striking. On my part...

Oblate Offerings: April 2009

Integrating Benedictine Spirituality Into Life In The Modern Day World. Thursday, April 30, 2009. It’s an awful long way to the monastery from where I live. A solid half day’s drive each way. It’s a distance that prohibits frequent visits for me. St Lawrence is a beautiful and thriving Catholic church. Well over 1200 families. Daily weekday morning and evening Masses. Three Masses on Sunday. A multitude of societies, programs, and activities. There is also a group of Secular Francisca...There are now aro...

Integrating Benedictine Spirituality Into Life In The Modern Day World. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. No I'm not AWOL or fallen into a deep hole. I'm simply working on another very personal project that involves a great deal of time and personal energy. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Waking From An Induced Coma. It is, however, in discovering and uncovering the long and very interesting American history of my mother’s paternal and maternal lines that I find my attention predominately arrested. It is a his...The awa...

Oblate Offerings: February 2011
http://oblateofferings.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Integrating Benedictine Spirituality Into Life In The Modern Day World. Friday, February 4, 2011. I hardly think any of us really know where we are going, where we will find ourselves at points future, or where we will eventually wind down and return to the earth from which we were made. This is especially true for wanderers, for souls that see life as more of a journey, for folks like us whose life's circumstances have groomed for the meandering pathways. God bless you in your journey . We bid you peace,.

Integrating Benedictine Spirituality Into Life In The Modern Day World. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Same God, Same Hymns. 630,000 family men, young men, and boys lost their lives in combat. The figure is much higher if you count the number that died from disease and complications from war wounds. Countless homes and buildings were pilfered, razed, and burned leaving large populations of citizenry destitute and homeless. The historical scenario reminds me a lot of the heated conflicts of issues and opinions...

Oblate Offerings: May 2009
http://oblateofferings.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Integrating Benedictine Spirituality Into Life In The Modern Day World. Friday, May 29, 2009. It’s hard to imagine, particularly in this modern age, monastic communities that resembled small cities. There were no lords and ladies here. No people living lifestyles of glamorous self-exaltation and self-absorption. There were only men and women spending their entire lives, as obedient living sacrifices, praying the Psalms with their hearts and lips, working with their hands, disciplining their thoug...Their...

Colorado Musing: Snap Out of It!
http://coloradomusing.blogspot.com/2013/03/snap-out-of-it.html
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. Abraham Lincoln. About - the Short Answer. About - the Longer Version. A Benedictine Reading List. Saturday, March 23, 2013. Snap Out of It! Since Pope Francis' election last week, the reaction in Catholic blogs has been remarkable, schizophrenic even, totally split between two extreme alternatives. The first is total, complete, unquestioning adoration with nothing but good to say about the man. How can that be? It seems to me the wise thing for ev...

Colorado Musing: Two Popes, the Same But Different

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. Abraham Lincoln. About - the Short Answer. About - the Longer Version. A Benedictine Reading List. Saturday, March 16, 2013. Two Popes, the Same But Different. The Church has been around for an awfully long time, 2,000 years. To give you some perspective, Martin Luther began his movement only 500 or so years ago. They showed themselves to be real teachers and bearers of Christ's message in doing so and we all should be humbled by their example.

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. Abraham Lincoln. About - the Short Answer. About - the Longer Version. A Benedictine Reading List. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. During this hiatus I've come to realize that the blog has completely lost focus; is it an oblate blog? PS, if you think I'm doing the right thing, you could try following me and have a ringside seat to all the action. PPS, what do you think? Am I wasting my time, on the right track, or you could care less? A New Way to Post.
