That was an intense game! Norway should be proud. They played hard!
“By continually translating the gospel into immanent terms, we steadily demythologize it. We offer accounts of the church, Scripture, and salvation that no longer require a grounding in transcendent realities.”

“Because if the diagnosis is “many of us are suffering psychologically in the isolation of remote work and many of us are losing basic emotional and relational skills to the general detriment of our society”, then surely there are other imaginable therapies besides “look to the workplace to provide what you’re losing, regardless of how precarious, unpleasant and costly life in the workplace might be.””

View from the office on Demonbreun in Nashville, TN.
It’s been a bit warm cycling into the office this week.
My kids got me a green chess board, a growler of beer, a bag of sweet heat chips, and asked to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. — I feel very seen and loved.
O God, who from the family of thy servant David didst raise up Joseph to be the guardian of thy incarnate Son and the spouse of his virgin mother: Give us grace to imitate his uprightness of life and his obedience to thy commands; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Magnifica Humanitas was a good read. I appreciate Rome’s understanding of work and the family. Many great quotes. But, I must say, as an Anglican I found it lacking a lot of Jesus. Save a few throw away sentences here or there it could have been written by any secular philosopher. — Obviously, the drive in the philosophy was distinctly Christian. But, to leave out the centrality of the Good News of God becoming man, defeating death, and being raised to new life is a missed evangelistic opportunity. Some mention of the gospel in the conclusion was welcome, but Jesus should be the center and drive of all we say and do. Not a side show. In this, the bishop of Rome “hath erred.”
“In Christ, we are called to cooperate in the work of creation, rather than be disinterested observers of technological processes that limit our freedom and responsibility.”

Magnifica Humanitas by vatican.va
“work is not simply an instrument; it expresses and enhances the dignity of our lives. It is a requirement of the human condition, a normal path toward maturity, development and personal fulfilment.”
