Alleluia! He is risen!

Re-reading Tomáš Halík's "Touching the Wounds" this week. A timely passage from his chapter entitled "A Little Place for Truth."

The Lord bless you and keep you!
The Lord’s face shine upon you and be gracious to you!
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!

"The people that walked in darkness
has seen a great light;
on those who live in a land of deep shadow
a light has shone."

Wishes for a Christmas season filled with Peace and Light.

Come, O Wisdom.

I didn't expect to read Arendt or about Danish resistance to the Nazi's in an article about children's literature. This is searingly timely. Terror requires cooperation.
