From Epistle to Diognetus – chapter 6
To sum up all in one word–what the soul is in the body, that are Christians in the world. The soul is dispersed through all the members of the body, and Christians are scattered through all the cities of the world. The soul dwells in the body, yet is not of the body; and Christians dwell in the world, yet are not of the world. The invisible soul is guarded by the visible body, and Christians are known indeed to be in the world, but their godliness remains invisible.

What’s So Great About Christianity by Dinesh D’Souza.
I took this with me while riding my bike. You can go for miles, all the while wishing you could upload D’Souza directly into your brain. He takes on the atheists, the “brights”, modernists, progressives, Darwinists and sundry hogwash. Great discussion of Galileo and his reformation, the Crusades, the Inquisition and Darwin vs. Darwinism.

What If God Was One of Us?

Prayer in the wee small hours, at Adoration or on the go, what a blessing! Listening and praying with a community at prayer, that’s what DivineOffice.org offers. It’s a banquet that Lent allows, even encourages! It is also good to remember that the Liturgy of the Hours is meant to be prayed aloud and in community.
Dane , the producer, offers free daily inspirational scriptures and prayers. His crew is talented and dedicated to bringing us Divine Office. They are “promoting the tradition of praying always through these ancient treasures of the Church.” This is not a blessing for Catholics only but for all Christians universally.
Lent is here. “There are few better ways to improve your observance of this season then to pray the Liturgy of the Hours as often as your schedule allows,” according to Dane at Divine Office.org. He says, “Instead of laying something down for Lent, you may want to consider taking something up… a renewed and invigorated dedication to prayer.”
“We hope everyone will enjoy these free daily inspirational scriptures and prayers. Listening to psalms in the morning as you start your day or at the conclusion in the evening is a wonderful form of prayer.”Dane
Be Holy!
