the silence is telling, son of ephraim.
a quote by Fr Denis Lemieux
We tend to think of our lives as somehow being just about us, don't we? Even if we're essentially trying to be good people? You know: I am me and you are you and she is she and God is God and...we're all in little hermetically sealed compartments. We may bump up against each other, but ultimately we're all locked into our own selves. This kind of atomic individualism is deeply ingrained in us.
And God is God, and the world is the world: so much of modernity is founded on a conviction that the two are not just distinct, but strictly separated one from the other.
But 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us'
(John 1: 14). . . . . . . . . .

The rest is less convincing, but this introduction seemed clear and true, (oversimplified? perhaps but this helps make the point I think.)
I have just googled Fr Denis.
American.
His blog begins with a massive photo of the pope which rather put me off delving deeper but maybe later I will have a closer look. (The quote came through the group.)
