walk

a few years ago 
in 2010
two things happened simultaneously
exactly as they are happening this year
my hon presented three lectures on "Why Christian? Why Catholic?"
and I was asked to show some of my photographs 
for the Main Street Morgantown Arts Walk

come downtown Friday night
I have a collection of photographs at the Elegant Alley Cat
from 6-9 p.m



When God took on flesh 
the uncreated and the created
the eternal and the temporal
the divine and the human became united.  
This unity meant 
that all that is mortal now points to the immortal
all that is finite now points to the infinite
In and through Jesus 
all creation has become like a splendid veil
through which the face of God is revealed to us

This is called the sacramental quality of the created order. 
All that is... is sacred
because all that is speaks of God's redeeming love.  
Seas and winds, mountains and trees, sun, moon, and stars
and all the animals and people 
have become sacred windows offering us glimpses of God.
