As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
The way men used to sit on porches in the evening doing nothing was not laziness, it was a liturgy. the earth turned and they watched it turn, and that was what souls needed. that quiet hour nobody can give back
Not to mention thereโs no โone day I may.โ Those daydreams are over. The future has hard constraints. In other times, this is when men would get spiritual. Secular materialism offers nothing but despair.
@GrainneMcD92925 St. Bernadette Soubirous, pray for us!
April 16 is her birthday, not a feast day. Catholics only celebrate three birthdays: Jesus, Mary, and John the Baptist.
