"when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace"

One doesn't march on the Black Gate with a small band expecting victory by force of arms, mastering the tides of the world through one's power. Rather, one does it based on a hope that faithfulness to the bonds of love will bring victory through a power other than one's own.

@JonHaidt has been ahead of the curve on so many issues: academic freedom, viewpoint diversity, and of course, the deleterious effects of screens. We should all be thanking him!

The Corporal Works of Mercy:

1. Feed the hungry
2. Give drink to the thirsty
3. Clothe the naked
4. Visit the sick
5. Shelter the homeless
6. Visit the imprisoned
7. Bury the dead

I believe we will remain human in the 21st century to the extent that we do this work.

In an age when "justice" is used to justify violence, mercy is the anti-mimetic act that will win triumph in the end; and I can think of no more important kind, in a digital age of abstractions, than the kind of mercy that is bodily, incarnate, and compassionate.

You cannot have a relationship or a conversation with an LLM. It's not a person. A robot isn't a "teacher". We will start to sort people who want to live in reality & those who prefer the simulacra. So much of the world is already fake. Be a realist and humanist!

My childhood on the Kansas prairie and the reflections it has fostered ever since came rushing back when I heard this poem. What a stark wonder.

West of Stratford, Texas (which bills itself as the last stop in Texas before Oklahoma) someone has built a massive wind vane. In my estimation, it’s a serious feat of engineering. It seems like such a gratuitous gift to people driving that lonely stretch of highway.

Engaging with technology in a way that not only preserves but enhances our senses is an art.

“Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. What does anything belonging to this life matter, when compared with a peaceful heart?” —St. Francis de Sales

On his feast day, it's a joy to share this piece about how C.S. Lewis introduced me to St. Francis de Sales.

The Riddle of the Tongue-Stones by @Salerno_Thomas is an enchanting blend of science, history, faith and art. Thrilled to have a book like this to share with young science-minded friends! It's just wonderful.

@Salerno_Thomas The Riddle of the Tongue-Stones delighted me with its enchanting blend of art, language, science and faith! I can't wait to share it with young readers in my life, but it spoke to my heart too. https://t.co/GQreVBQ3Ts

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.

the flipside of the coin? You bet!" ...
Caesar's arms are open wide;
Your whole estate will fit inside."

We are not expecting utopia here on this earth. But God meant things to be much easier than we have made them. . . . Eternal life begins now.
