In the days of COVID-19, listening to Pádrig Ó Tuama feels sacred and calming and prayerful and nourishing and like a beautiful reminder of community.

A friend recently asked what I'm doing to nourish myself during these dark, frightening days in the US, 2017. One of the things I'm doing is listening to You Tubes of Pádraig ´O Tuama. Over and over again.

Alison Clement the dark and troubled times we are in have always been with us, have noting to do with the vissiitudes of who occupies the White House and everything to do with turning from God.

@@meghan42 Alison referred to 2017 as dark and troubled times! How about 2020 and 2021? But to reply to your comment to me: God is not a “what” and in defining God one can only say words that are incomprehensible. Of course, if one seeks to define God, what one says about God can do virtually nothing in defining God. But let me say something anyway: God is no thing whatsoever. God is the creator of all things. God is supremely good, all powerful, omnipresent yet contained by nothing. God is Love. God is personable. God relates to all things and every person can relate to God. God sustains all being and is not sustained by anything. Faith in God is God’s gift to those asking. There are not enough books speaking of God. Any speech of God does not approach God , the unknowable. While God is not anything in any sense of the word, God does relate to us. One can believe or not.

The faithful must deal with a heavy burden when facing their truth, I think. So while I’m not a believer, I have respect for a faithful person who is courageous enough to live in their Truth. It comes at great cost while they’re working it out....work that continues when additional conflict comes...and it will...it always does.... Much like overcoming an abusive childhood....an addiction....an affliction like depression....all these things require a repeated “overcoming”...from one day to the next....in a long life.

I feel sorry for all the people watching Netflix, sorry I do not mean to judge more of a comparison and compassion. This quiet, still listening that we can engage with here is most lovely.

Courage is having same sex desire/orientation and not consenting to it.
@jerrymcintire7902 5 ай бұрын
As is not consenting to opposite sex desire? The temptation of incompleteness when God made us complete is the same for all.
@Oculoustuos 5 ай бұрын
Every one has desire for complementarity (completeness, if you will). Outside marriage between one man and one woman, all Sexual desire must be eschewed. That takes the virtue of Courage, a gift of the Holy Spirit, received in the Sacraments and by prayer and fasting from occasions of sin, And from food so as to mortify the flesh. I rebuke myself for a lack of such mortification. I ask for the grace to begin that process with dedication as I know there is weakness to temptation in to impurity in not fasting. Lent begins this Wednesday , February 14. Godspeed to you. Let’s pray for one another.
