The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Monday, December 10, 2012. Teaching the Art of Living. Human life cannot be realized by itself. Our life is an open question, an incomplete project, still to be brought to fruition and realized. Each man's fundamental question is: How will this be realized—becoming man? How does one learn the art of living? Which is the path toward happiness? This is why we are in need of a new evangelization—if the art of living remains an unknow...

The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Saturday, November 27, 2010. He Must Increase, I Must Decrease. 8220; I have been crucified in Christ, so it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.”. Since this summer, this has been a verse that has consistently been following me. Referenced in several books I'm reading, and several talks I've listened to. So I have been compelled to take it to prayer. What does it really mean to be crucified in Christ? Beer it is then!

The Art of Living: Making Modesty Hip
http://allthatisamiable.blogspot.com/2011/01/making-modesty-hip.html
The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Monday, January 17, 2011. Can you blame her? In our society, finding true examples of real, selfless love is rare. If she's never seen it, how would a woman even know what she was looking for? There is a deeper wound here that needs to be treated. In my attempt to find a good article on modesty, I finally found one by Fr. Michael Scanlon:. Http:/ www.facebook.com/topic.php? Part 3: In what ways do men need to be modest? Modesty is the v...

The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Thursday, January 20, 2011. I was recently talking to one of the female missionaries in our region, and we were discussing ways to invest more deeply into those we mentor/disciple. The theme she and her teammates were striving after (and I thought was genius) was "Making Memories." Especially in the beginning stages of the relationship, having shared, memorable experiences can do wonders! What are examples of making memories? We were wi...

The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Thursday, December 2, 2010. I'm sitting at one of my favorite local coffee shops, doing some work. 2 burly men just walked in, obviously on their break from some construction job, all decked out in their work gloves, work boots, overalls, and smelling of cigarettes. One of them asked the other, “Have you ever had a mocha? 8221; “Uh, I don't know.” “Well do you want one? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Monday, January 17, 2011. What Kind of Woman Are You? Are you the kind that faces adventure head on? Are you the kind that everyone goes to for advice? Do you take joy in serving those around you? Are you a mover and a shaker? Or do you add a calm presence to those around you? Do you know where your gifts lie? You wicked and lazy servant! Why do we compare ourselves to others? What is at the root of this behavior? Part of it lies in the...

I just read this amazing article on the effects that our culture's contraceptive mentality has on a woman's self image and the pressure to look "sexy." I highly recommend it: Contraception and a Woman's Self-Image. To peak your interest, below I've listed her subpoints that she fleshes out, and I found extremely insightful:. 6 reasons why “Do you want more? 5 I’m no...

The Art of Living. A quest for all things true, good, and beautiful. Saturday, November 27, 2010. That's why I don't recycle as often as I should. I'm cheap. That's why I don't buy organic as often as I'd like to. Mnsgr Stuart Swetland gives a great talk relating to this. He states that before the fall of Adam and Eve, there were 4 harmonies:. 1) Between God and Man. 2) Between Man and Self. 3) Between Man and Man. 4) Between Man and Creation. Serve the poor. We need to build our own virtue,. Turning off...
