On a day named for a saint who wouldn’t bow to Caesar, I was so glad to read this beautiful story. I think you will be, too.

let me put this another way: despair, or its new name, doomerism, asserts omniscience--that things cannot be better, that all possibilities of good are already foreclosed, that you can know this as fact. it looks like humility, but it's all ego. it is, in fact, the assumption of godhood.
I joke a lot about my capacity for despair, but there's enough Catholic discipline in my youth to remember that it is in fact a sin, one that absorbs all the best in you more comprehensively than a tar pit. I left the church ages ago, but I held onto that cable: despair is not a long-term good.

MLK, 1965. “It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation, not merely for the vitriolic works & violent actions of the bad people who bomb a church in Birmingham, Alabama…but for the appalling silence & indifference of the good people who sit around and say, "Wait.”

doing social work is great because if you're not blind you eventually realize that your job exists only to uphold a visage of the benevolence of nonprofits which continually, intimately enact violence against our society's most vulnerable. and all you ultimately get to do is be nicer about it

The full and equal humanity of babies, children, and those with cognitive disabilities—and the urgent call for that humanity to be honored in love—is one of the big places Christ meets me in the world.
The big insight youth ministry taught me was that every life stage brings its own particular perspective and wisdom. We don’t just *gain* knowledge of God and the world as we age; we also *lose* it.
How often is my path clarified and my intellect chastened by the wisdom of the kids I’m “teaching”
