In Cath-O-Land and most of Christendom we celebrate the Solemn Feast of Pentecost which brings the Easter season to its conclusion. For 50 days we have been celebrating the Victor over sin & death. Many may scoff, and perhaps rightly so that people keep on dying and sinning, so what kind of victory is that? For the souls that disciple to Him, the journey to conquering sin & death begins with for each individual. It is far from a perfect process, sin is present along every step of the way and regressions and abandoning the call abound in our modern world.

One cannot be a Disciple and remain the same, either become like the Master or quit following. Sadly Christians have a very marred history of following the Master, it seems that when a church possesses power, it almost always faces corruption and interior decay. The good life, the easy life, rarely leads Her to the virtuous life. Persecution and hardship, self-denial and living a life that is meager does Discipleship good.

Nothing is more fundamental than life - without it there is nothing else. Life without meaning is pointless. What bring s meaning to your life? I hope there is something more than the ever present, so utterly endearing, yet massively frustrating, and equally disappointing as the relentless ME. I hope your ME has found a THEE to cling to. If not, well good luck in this crapshoot called life. If our horizon ends with us, it is a very small and more often than not, cruel and empty world. Believe in a THEE and commit yourself to the quest that such a endeavor invites us to pursue.
