It was really illuminating - I had not really considered the full impact of this remarkable document. Speaking to a culture obsessed with the notion that the Church is always saying "No!", always nagging people about not doing things, Papa B. asserts the biggest truth of all: that God is love, and loved us first, and that the essence of Christianity is to be found in this and in our response to this love...
Autumn with all its freshness and new activities is upon us. Yesterday was Mother's birthday and I cycled over for a cheery lunch with her (pizza at an Italian restaurant) and then Tea with the neighbours, M. and I serving cakes and pouring tea like anything...

"M. and I serving cakes and pouring tea like anything..." Oh, auntie Joanna, you make me laugh. We met years ago and you seem to be just the same; I can imagine you revelling in the busy-ness of the affair, up to your elbows in jolly muffins etc. All power to those elbows, Mrs. Bogle and many happy returns to your mother!
What the real revelation is;
God has said "no" to certain things in this world because of His love for us. He is our creator and who knows what is bettter for us than the creator?
Our sinful nature wants to divulge into all sorts of areas that are in the end very distructive-Gods love wants us to walk in His wisdom and true fullness of life which is TRUE freedom. Sin leads to bondage.
What is your next EWTN series about?
