A New Blog Begins!

am very excited to be starting this blog! It is a project I have been considering for a good while and come to realize that I might as well give a good attempt to.

 I intend to write and share things related to Catholicism, theology, philosophy, art, culture, history (and all good things). These important topics reflect my own greatest interests and areas of study and work.

I hope this will be a good place to get some of my thoughts, reflections and personal ruminations (however right or wrong they may be) out to friends and to the world. I hope that I can do this with humility, charity and every virtue. I see a real need to avoid impatience, uncharitable speech and unjust anger. These ills are unfortunately seen on Catholic blogs and sites all too often. If we have not love, then all our speech, however much truth it contains, is no better than “resounding gongs and clashing cymbals” (1 Cor 13:1). We are called to imitate the love, patience and gentleness of God to our neighbor without bias or exception.

An authentic Catholic presence on the internet is critically important in our troubled times. We must be willing to share the life-giving truths of the faith by all means necessary to reach a world that is drifting further and further away from truth, goodness and beauty. The urgent work of the "New Evangelization" is the responsibility of every Catholic and I hope that my efforts here can play some small part in this. 

God Love You,
