"When there is love in the home, there is joy in the heart." A. Nonnie Mouse
"Heaven is not simply the promise of God's peace after this life, but also a way of life here and now -- when we live in loving, rightly ordered community with God and with others." John P. Burgess "Spiritual Freedom" in First Things, February 2017.
"The challenge of playing the piano well chastens us, reminding us of the limits of our physical and musical powers. It demands discipline, practice, persistence, humility. At times it even points toward transcendence. When one touches transcendental, one touches a likeness of God, an absolute, that which ennobles and delights our life." Elizabeth C. Corey "Learning to Play" in First Things, October 2016.
"'Diversity' is one of today's most prominent weasel words. I t's presented as a statement of fact, but it's actually ideological and political. And it reinforces liberalism's claim to superiority." R.R. Reno "The Public Square" in First Things, May 2017.
"Law springs from the nature of only one kind of creature, that creature who is able to give reasons regarding matters of right and wrong." Hadley Arkes "The Moral Turn" in First Things, May 2017.
"So-called 'accompaniment' is a lie if it follows the path to self-destruction. One cannot be on a pilgrimage if the road is leading to hell." Brian Boyd "Letter to the Editor" in First Things, May 2017.
"There are cultures that do not merge -- like water and oil -- and pouring them into a single vessel is a recipe for conflict." Eugene Vodolazkin "The Age of Concentration" in First Things, June/July 2017.
"The literal sense of a song or a poem is only part of its meaning. Physical sound and rhythm exercise a power of enchantment that eludes paraphrase." Dana Gioia "Singing Aquinas in L.A." in First Things, June/July 2017.
"It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home." A. Nonnie Mouse |
