Green Persephone: Pre-Lenten Reflections: Preparing for the Mercy of God
http://greenpersephone.blogspot.com/2011/03/pre-lenten-reflections-preparing-for.html
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. Pre-Lenten Reflections: Preparing for the Mercy of God. Any excuse to begin an article with a quote from Miss O'Connor . . . Flannery O'Connor, "The Artificial Nigger". Why are we, at times, inclined to dwell on our past transgressions? What do our weaknesses matter when we know that, each and every sin of our past and future, be they are graver than all the sins in the world, will be forgiven completely, so long as we ask ...

Green Persephone: the vocation
http://greenpersephone.blogspot.com/2011/02/vocation.html
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. The peace that comes from finding ones vocation (or at the least, when one finds the grace of discernment of a vocation) is like having a sword, dull and wooden as the Cross, plunged into your heart, where it is anchored into the Heart of Jesus. It is in this way that vocation brings peace, for it is anchored firmly in love, the security and safety of being in love. Saturday, February 05, 2011. View my complete profile.

Green Persephone: Quirks in this here Italian life
http://greenpersephone.blogspot.com/2011/02/quirks-in-this-here-italian-life.html
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. Quirks in this here Italian life. I live in a little hobbit hole, and like many hobbit holes, internet access is sporadic at best, if one is lucky enough to have it available at all. Therefore, when my need for internet arises, I am obliged to a tiny little hotspot across the street, thanks to the unprotected network of the small community of nuns who live there. I mean, on the sidewalk. Perhaps it is that Italy, with such ...

Green Persephone: The life of Job
http://greenpersephone.blogspot.com/2009/09/life-of-job.html
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. The life of Job. God does not desire suffering on this earth that we may obtain happiness in the next. He allows suffering to help us see, but He does not desire to see us suffer, and would have us suffer as little as possible. God does not redeem us through the evils of the world. He redeems us in spite of them. Friday, September 25, 2009. Świetny tekst, dobrze i mądrze napisany. Dziękuje! February 27, 2010 5:53 AM.

Green Persephone: August 2007
http://greenpersephone.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. My break from the blog. And since I don't ever want to become one of those bloggers who honestly believe that someone will care that their latest epiphany about the true meaning of the universe comes from the geometric shape they found in a defective cheerio, I will stop talking about myself, and try to scrounge up something interesting to be opinionated about. Sunday, August 19, 2007. Links to this post. A Mouse in My Bed.

Green Persephone: Pre-Lenten Reflections: Road to Assisi, Part I
http://greenpersephone.blogspot.com/2011/03/pre-lenten-reflections-road-to-assisi.html
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. Pre-Lenten Reflections: Road to Assisi, Part I. It seems fitting, according to the overriding theme of my life’s pilgrim journey, that I should begin my personal weekend retreat to Assisi by waiting alone for two hours in an ugly train station. Having sought the conductor the moment I realized my mistake, I was, thankfully, spared both the patronizing lecture and the 50 euro fine. With one more hour to wait, and nothing to ...

You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion. Academy Awards in Retrospect. In honor of the Acadamy Awards, and in absense a conscious Muse, I'm going to reprint an old article on the topic. Enjoy! Since I've been on my own, I've been happy enough to not have the temptation of cable, and consequently of flipping to the E! What a job these entertainment journalists have! Is Hollywood really this idolized by the public? I guess it just comes down to the fact that we shou...

A Lenten thought or two for the Pontifical student . . . 8220;I have come not to bring peace, but a sword.”. 8220;Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms.”. 8211;C.
