After spending the day with kiddos hyped up on sugar yesterday and parents pleading for no more to be given to them, I thought this was a timely article: Let's bring the holidays down a notch. And yet it's not even quite right. The way in which the world celebrates the holidays needs to be ended: kaput, sayonara, adios, go climb a tree and stay there. The world has celebration and feasting all wrong! Feast days do not mean gorging as if there will not be enough to last. Feasting recognizes the vastness that has been given that we do not deserve, and delving into infinity with one another. Marc Barnes again nails it on the head with his latest: Ritual, Evidence of Eternity. What the world offers is its attempt at copying what the Church does, and thus it falls short. May you experience the Divine in a whole new way this Easter season!
Haven't read the second article yet, but really liked the first one.
