What It’s About

Musings on Incarnation and Sacrament, on Word become Flesh and Myth become Reality. Not of the World but still in the World; testing everything, keeping what is good.

Striving to connect Gospel to life and life to the Gospel. That’s what a homily is about (hopefully) and that will be a big chunk of my posting here. And finding the grace in the mundane, as I ponder whatever nonsense I ponder in the day-to-day living of life — what I’m reading, watching, what’s going on in the world around me and what I’m thinking about it.

It’s about seeking to live in Him in whom all things hold together.

About the Author

I’m Deacon Josh — an ordained Catholic Deacon and a jack-of-all-creative-trades: writer, actor, singer, cartoonist, with a BA in film production.

I serve at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Williston and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church in Richmond, in the diocese of Burlington, Vermont.

My main spiritual influences include Francis and Clair of Assisi and Dorothy Day — we love and serve God primarily by loving and serving our neighbor, “for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.” ~1 John 4:20
