Open your eyes
This video is a little cheesy, but it’s got a great point. How often do we really see what’s around us?

TOT: Love, Dating and Relationships
Over the course of our “Theology On Tap” series we heard talks from Fr. Matt Spahr, Cy Kellett and Dr. Karen Saroki. This Thursday the series was brought to a close by the ever-popular Jackie Francois.
Actually, Jackie wasn’t the only one who spoke that night, being supported by her boyfriend Bobby Angel:
Jackie Francois is a full-time, travelling worship leader and speaker from Orange County. Bobby Angel, her boyfriend, is the assistance campus minister at the Servite High School in Anaheim.
Both of them have studied at the Theology Of The Body institute. They enjoy lengthy books, long walks on the beach, quoting The Office* and preparing together for the imminent robot invasion…
Below is the recording of the talk they gave entitled “Love, dating and relationships: Calling all people wanting to love and be loved according to God’s holy desire”:

Jackie also recently released a follow-up to her debut album “Your Kingdom Is Glorious”. The new album is called “Divine Comedy”. It includes a cover of one my favourite Hughes songs, “Beautiful One”, as well as Jackie’s own material, “Everything You” and “New Creation” being among my favourites.
Go buy it on iTunes or Spirit & Song 🙂
* The TV show, not the Liturgy of the Hours. I got quite confused there for a while…:-/
“Bears”? 2 Kinds 2:24
“Beets”? Genesis 1:29
“Battlestar Galactica”? erm….

Magic Mike & The opposite of love
This morning while I was having my much-needed coffee, I watched the following homily. It’s a tough, uncompromising comparison between the movie Magic Mike and the message of the Gospel concerning the dignity of the human person:
“The opposite of love is use” – Pope John Paul II

Wise Words on Wednesday: Heart Blueprint
“One may ask if each of us does not really carry in his or her own heart a blueprint of the one that he or she loves. This blueprint is made by our reading, our prayers, our experiences, our hopes, our ideals, by our mother and father. Then suddenly, the ideal becomes concretized and realized in a person, and we say, ‘This is it!'”
– Fulton Sheen
