Indeed!

What better can we do than to take refuge in the Lord! His love will never fail, alleluia.
-antiphon I, Daytime Prayer, 13th Sunday in ordinary time.

Just what I needed to hear after a few days of worrying about the recent Supreme Court ruling, reading the assorted weeping and gnashing of teeth in the blogosphere. His love will not fail any of us, whether the current tempest blows over, or whether it blows us, eventually, into ostracism, fines, persecution, or prison.

Christmas in July and Freedom's Fortnight

My pastor, Father Skip Davis,  did a bang-up job of his Fortnght for Freedom sermon. He saw the scenes from A Christmas Carol, in which Ebenezer Scrooge travels with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, as a metaphor  for the Church in America, and indeed for all Christians in this land of ours. I've linked it here on my Catholic Exchange blog. Go take a look.

And let me know if your pastor did anything half as good.
