The Trinity Forum | "Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become." —C.S. Lewis (thanks to Michael Cromartie )

The Trinity Forum | “Before we can pretend to do anything about the present, we must know what we are, what the world is, and yes, what God is. Construction of a civilization that knows little or nothing of these deeper realities can only make things worse.” —James Schall SJ introducing Josef Pieper [http://bit.ly/1zDBFo]

I look back on the last 30 years to see the difference of life in these two time periods. At the end of the radical sixties, many thought there had been considerable slackening in moral values. True. But in the following years, much more slackening. We are more like in a drift now. I like this quote because it points to the First Things that must be rediscovered for civilization to be civil again.

The Trinity Forum | “Violence finds its only refuge in falsehood; falsehood, its only support in violence. Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his METHOD must inexorably choose falsehood as his PRINCIPLE. . . . And the simple step of a simple courageous man is not to partake in falsehood, not to support false actions!” —Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, 1970 Nobel address

The Trinity Forum | “The famous saying ‘God is love’, it is generally assumed, means that God is like our immediate emotional indulgence, not that the meaning of love ought to have something of the ‘otherness’ and terror of God.” —Charles Williams

The Trinity Forum The average American, on having a vision of a demon, is more likely to call a psychiatrist than an exorcist.… It is, after all, possible that the individual who cannot conceive of demons is making a big mistake … It is possible that modern consciousness, while expanding man’s awareness of some aspects of the universe, has made him lose sight of other aspects that are equally real. —Peter Berger, Heretical Imperative

It might be hard to recognize demons and ask for healing/cleansing when our culture celebrates demons through popular media. Especially this time of year...
