Hello all! A belated blessed Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you, and a wonderful Epiphany too!
As 2013 dawns upon us, and the new liturgical year surges towards Lent and Easter, there are plenty more opportunities for us reflect and ponder about God's infinite love for us: through nature, books, Mass, music and the people around us. But if you've been spending a lot of time online, no worries! Here's a great, witty, well-written blog you can follow: Bad Catholic
Nope, it isn't some sacrilegious blog that defaces Catholicism, if that's the vibe you get from the title. And neither is it a super holy Bible-bashing site that uses words so huge one would doubt if they should even exist in the English language. No sir. This is one blog that uses memes, sarcasm, humor and good research to face down certain persecutions that we will all face as growing Catholics.
The blog discusses a myriad of topics, such as science, abortion, same-sex marriage, birth-control, the priesthood, political issues, alcohol and even the apocalypse--all from a very Catholic point of view. Take a good read, browse the comments, and most importantly, reflect upon these issues always with Christ in mind. Why? Because these issues are very real, and how we choose to react to them will decide whether or not the Light of Christ can continue to shine through us.
So here's to a beautiful Epiphany, and a fitting close to the Christmas season. Christ is born! Praise the Lord! Alleluia!
