This week, Brendan Busse does some preaching in the “Church of Pop,” reminding us that being born this way may be the beginning, but becoming perfect means loving the way we’re loved. Luckily, no one at TJP writes Bad Romances, but here’s what we did write:
- Michael Rossmann turns spin class up to 11 — 11 things he learned there about prayer, that is
- Reading Lumen Gentium from Vatican II, Jim Keane finds himself already in communion with the tradition (and manages to take a shot at Jim Martin along the way)
- Joe Simmons hears the bells again, this time for Easter joy
- Cracking the Hemingway code, Tim O’Brien looks at where we find ourselves when self-sufficiency runs out
- Sam Sawyer suggests that the remedy for closed minds is open ears, for teachers especially
All that, and the Sandpeople get their revenge on Jayme Stayer’s attack on Footprints via the TJP Facebook feed — which you know about because you’re clued in to Week in Review.
