The host, Paul Edwards, gently but firmly told him that for Christians Christ could never be only or merely that. It is the truth that unites Catholics (I'm a convert) and evangelicals alike. Now, Rev. Edwards is on record as saying that "Catholicism is not an option," so I'm not sentimentalizing here. Of course, Lewis was not a Catholic either. In any event, what a beautiful and true essay. The Catholic Thing remains essential reading for, well, Catholics... - Graham Combs Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:21:59 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/face-to-face.html#comment-4475 A beautifully crafted piece, Brad. Profoundly poignant. Thank you! - Joe Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:29:23 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/face-to-face.html#comment-4473 i loved this post, brad. very personal wonderings out-loud. questions i've asked too as i place myself in the Gospels. This Pauline quote is also one of my favorites. everything that is wrong with me is me not following this kenosis of Christ. If God emptied Himself for my sake, what less can my loving response be? to stop grasping as Adam & Eve did and empty myself, to be poured out for love of Him to serve those around me. then He will unite Himself to me and we will be one. all of us, one in Him. so much to ponder! my young son loves to listen to Ven Archbishop Fulton Sheen's Advent/Christmas sermon while going to sleep during that time of year. He told his oldest sister he was learning about the "hyper-active union of Jesus." She said, "You mean Hypostatic union." His response, "Yeah, when All GOD became All Man All together." Sheen is proud. - debby Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:02:23 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/face-to-face.html#comment-4470 Wonderful considerations.
