The Example Of St. Mary Of Egypt

Last updated on: March 21, 2021 at 3:01 am By Henry Karlson

Jesus Christ, the divine lover of humanity, serves as the high priest of the universe, working for the good of all creation. His sacrifice is himself, and in that sacrifice, he gives himself to all things, so that through him and in him, all things can find their integrity restored before they are made greater than they were before. And thus, he makes us pure, so that we no longer have to be spiritually dead due to our sins: For... Read more

Immanent And Economic Trinity

Last updated on: March 19, 2021 at 3:09 am By Henry Karlson

In God’s engagement with history, God is revealed as a Trinity. This revelation, the way the Trinitarian God is revealed to us, is called the economic Trinity, coming from the Greek word, οἰκονομία, oikonomia.[1] Each Trinitarian person interacts with us, and in that interaction, reveals themselves to us in accordance to that interaction. We learn of their existence, as well as their relations to each other, through their revelatory activity. Each such action differs in what it reveals, but each,... Read more

Women And Christian History

Last updated on: March 17, 2021 at 3:12 am By Henry Karlson

Ancient Christian history is filled with many remarkable women whose work and accomplishments were often central to the development and preservation of the Christian faith. And yet, when we think of Christian history, we often regulate them to the sidelines, or worse, sometimes question their contribution as a whole. St. Thecla is a prime example; she was a missionary who worked with the Apostle Paul before she died a martyr’s death. Beloved by early Christians, when the church slowly reduced... Read more

Truth, Education, And Teaching Authority

Last updated on: March 15, 2021 at 3:19 am By Henry Karlson

Truth does not contradict truth, so long as the fullness of the truth remains the goal. But if someone tries to pursue an element of the truth and try to separate it from the rest of the truth, then the truth can be abused and lead people astray. For, as Marsilio Ficino warned, “So one who pursues this truth and that truth, separated from the highest truth, without doubt does not light upon truth but upon falsehood.”[1] We can see...

Judging Others

Last updated on: March 14, 2021 at 3:12 am By Henry Karlson

During the Great Fast, we are reminded of our needs. We need food and drink. We need each other’s help. We need grace. More importantly, without God, we are nothing. Without the gifts of God, gifts which help sustain us, we are also nothing. The more we think we are something special, the more we forget how dependent we are on others, the more we forget how dependent we are upon God, the less we will open ourselves to receive...

Politicians And Laws Must Work For The Common Good

Last updated on: March 11, 2021 at 8:15 am By Henry Karlson

Government should work for the common good. Politics should be about establishing the best policies which help establish the common good. Those in positions of authority should realize their call is one of service for the people. When they hold power, it should not be for their own sake, but for the sake of others. Thus, if a politicians interferes with the political process so as to gain power for themselves and ignore the common good, they should be removed... Read more

Lift Up The Voices Of Women

Last updated on: March 9, 2021 at 7:44 am By Henry Karlson

St. Hildegard of Bingen, even in her lifetime, was looked upon with amazement for her knowledge and wisdom, as well as her prophetic insight which gave her the kind of authority rarely held by women until the modern age. Nonetheless, she was a woman, and as a woman, she often had to fight for her rights as she often found herself in conflict with various ecclesial and secular authorities. As a woman, she was expected to be obedient to all... Read more

Wisdom And Fear

Last updated on: March 8, 2021 at 4:07 am By Henry Karlson

Jesus told us not to be afraid. We should not look out to the world in fear; we should not be overly worried about those who unjustly threaten to do us some harm if we don’t follow them in their wicked ways, because, though we might indeed suffer, they are limited in what they can do to us and eventually their power will come to an end But he also told us to fear the one who can destroy our...

Veneration Of The Holy Cross

Last updated on: March 7, 2021 at 4:09 am By Henry Karlson

God truly works in mysterious ways, shocking us out of our complacency. Often, what God does is counterintuitive, and yet the effectiveness of God’s work reveals that what we thought to be folly is actually wisdom. Once we realize we have been so wrong in regards our expectations, we learn to reconsider everything, especially ourselves, so that we put aside all that we thought we knew in order to be awakened to the greater truth which is revealed to us...

Conspiracy Theories, Scapegoating And The Coronavirus

Last updated on: March 4, 2021 at 10:33 am By Henry Karlson

Conspiracy theories develop when people do not want to believe some inconvenient truth. They want to find an alternative truth which they can hold onto which does not inconvenience them. This often leads to the search for a scapegoat, finding someone to blame for a particular crisis, so that instead of doing what needs to be done in order to deal with the crisis itself, society is encouraged to attack the scapegoats. Since this does not deal with the crisis,... Read more
