Man, I wish there was more information online about which BC Election candidates are pro-choice or pro-life. I don't know if any of the candidates in the Victoria Swan-Lake electoral district are pro-life. David Wright is pro-choice; Robert Savage wouldn't say; and Rob Fleming and Jesse McClintock didn't reply to my email. Alas!

Review of the Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux

I have just completed an analytical reading St. Therese of Lisieux's autobiography.

On the whole, I enjoyed it and found it insightful. Written simply and straightforwardly, there are no logical problems to complain of. It is part narrative, part theology. I focused on its theology, but in the future I'll study it as narrative.

There are a couple of things that I'm taking away from this book. One his her "Little Way" – her small acts of self-denial to please and charm Jesus and his Church. Another is her ability to find joy and peace in the midst of suffering, and the various purposes of suffering.

Here are some notes I took on the book, presented as an index (keyed by page number to John Clarke's 3rd edition).

"Although there are other important and appropriate ways to recuperate spiritually, the fundamental way to recover from activity and to learn to love it again, is the interior search for the face of God, which always restores our joy in God."
- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, "The Ministry and Life of Priests"
"This common bond of obedience is also common freedom: it offers protection against arbitrariness, and guarantees the authentically Christological character of ecclesial obedience."
- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, "The Ministry and Life of Priests"

"The act of philosophizing, genuine poetry, any aesthetic encounter, in
fact, as well as prayer, springs from some shock. And when such a shock
is experienced, man senses the non-finality of this world of daily
care." - Pieper, The Philophical Act, I

Monday, October 20, 2008

"We therefore hope that this sense of sacramental visibility may become
so manifest in the celebration of the Christian cultus itself that in
the performance of if man, 'who is born to work', may truly be
'transported' out of the weariness of daily labour into an unending
holiday, carried away out of the straitness of the workaday world into
the heart of the universe." - Pieper, Leisure, V
"it has always been a pious belief that God sends his good gifts and his
blessings in sleep." Pieper, Leisure, III
Now the highest form of affirmation is the feast; among its
characteristics, Karl Kerényi tells us, is 'the union of tranquility,
contemplation, and intensity of life'. To hold a celebration means to
affirm the basic meaningfulness of the universe and a sense of oneness
with it, of inclusion within it." - Pieper, Leisure, III
"The point and the justification of leisure are not that the functionary
should function flawlessly and without a breakdown, but that the
functionary should continue to be a man ... that he should retain the
faculty of grasping the world as a whole and realifing his full
potentialities as an entity meant to reach Wholeness." - Pieper,
Leisure, III
"...the power to know leisure is the power to overstep the boundaries of
the workaday world and reach out to superhuman, life-giving existential
forces which refresh and renew us before we turn back to our daily work.
Only in leisure ... man may escape from the 'restricted area' of that
'latent anxiety' which a keen observer has perceived to be the mark of
the world of work, where 'work and unemployment are the two inescapable
poles of existence." - Pieper, Leisure, IiI

"The basic element of Christianity is joy...A joy that exists together with a difficult life and also makes this life liveable."
- Ratzinger

Notes on Christifideles Laici

- 3 pressing needs of the world today

- Secularism and the Need for Religion

- The Human Person: A Dignity Violated and Exalted. The dignity of the
individual: "the person is not at all a "thing" or an "object" to be
used, but primarily a responsible "subject", one endowed with conscience
and freedom, called to live responsibly in society and history, and
oriented towards spiritual and religious values."

- Conflict and Peace

- The lay faithful "seek the Kingdom of God by engaging in temporal
affairs and ordering them according to the plan of God"

- "For their work, prayers and apostolic endeavours, their ordinary
married and family life, their daily labour, their mental and physical
relaxation, if carried out in the Spirit, and even the hardships of life
if patiently borne-all of these become spiritual sacrifices acceptable
to God through Jesus Christ (cf. 1 Pt 2:5). During the celebration of
the Eucharist these sacrifices are most lovingly offered to the Father
along with the Lord's body. Thus as worshipers whose every deed is holy,
the lay faithful consecrate the world itself to God"(23)"

- "The lay faithful are given the ability and responsibility to accept
the gospel in faith and to proclaim it in word and deed, without
hesitating to courageously identify and denounce evil...They are also
called to allow the newness and the power of the gospel to shine out
everyday in their family and social life, as well as to express
patiently and courageously in the contradictions of the present age
their hope of future glory even "through the framework of their secular
life"(26)"

- "They exercise their kingship as Christians, above all in the
spiritual combat in which they seek to overcome in themselves the
kingdom of sin (cf. Rom 6:12), and then to make a gift of themselves so
as to serve, in justice and in charity, Jesus who is himself present in
all his brothers and sisters, above all in the very least (cf. Mt
25:40)...But in particular the lay faithful are called to restore to
creation all its original value. In ordering creation to the authentic
well-being of humanity in an activity governed by the life of grace,
they share in the exercise of the power with which the Risen Christ
draws all things to himself and subjects them along with himself to the
Father, so that God might be everything to everyone (cf. 1 Cor 15:28; Jn
12:32)."

- "The lay faithful, in fact, "are called by God so that they, led by
the spirit of the Gospel, might contribute to the sanctification of the
world, as from within like leaven, by fulfilling their own particular
duties. Thus, especially in this way of life, resplendent in faith, hope
and charity they manifest Christ to others"(37)."

- "The vocation to holiness, that is, the perfection of charity"

- "Life according to the Spirit, whose fruit is holiness (cf. Rom
6:22;Gal 5:22), stirs up every baptized person and requires each to
follow and imitate Jesus Christ, in embracing the Beatitudes, in
listening and meditating on the Word of God, in conscious and active
participation in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church, in
personal prayer, in family or in community, in the hunger and thirst for
justice, in the practice of the commandment of love in all circumstances
of life and service to the brethren, especially the least, the poor and
the suffering."

- "The lay faithful must see their daily activities as an occasion to
join themselves to God, fulfill his will, serve other people and lead
them to communion with God in Christ"(46)."

"The help required by people on the street is not a coin or a soup kitchen or a food bank (yes, these are all good intermediate band-aids) but supervised housing, medical & mental health assistance, access to detox centres and the list goes on."

—Father John Laszczyk

"...if too much time be given up to [games], they cease to be a recreation and become an occupation; and so far from resting and restoring mind or body, they have precisely the contrary effect."

—St. Francis de Sales
"Let fall, as far as possible, the delicious honey of devotion, drop by drop, now in the ear of one, now in the ear of another; praying secretly in your soul that God may let it sink into their hearts. Above all do this with gentleness and kindness; not as though correcting them, but by inspiring them; for it is wonderful how powerfully hearts are moved when goodness is set before them in a fair and lovely guise."

—St. Francis de Sales
"When the colt grows weary it turns aside"

-St. Francis de Sales

"From this follows the obligation of the cessation from work and labor on Sundays

"From this follows the obligation of the cessation from work and labor on Sundays and certain holy days. The rest from labor is not to be understood as mere giving way to idleness; much less must it be an occasion for spending money and for vicious indulgence, as many would have it to be; but it should be rest from labor, hallowed by religion."

– Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, 41

"When asked where he got his scientific ideas, Einstein explained that he believed scientific work best proceeds from an examination of physical reality and a search for underlying axioms, with consistent explanations that apply in all instances and avoid contradicting each other. He also recommended theories with visualizable results (Einstein 1954)"

Flash: Tiling an external image

Here's how to tile an image using MovieClipLoader loadClip, loadMovie, createEmptyMovieClip, and BitmapData.


/**
* Sets the tiled background image for the panel
*
* @param backgroundImageUrl the URL of the image
*/
private function setBackgroundImageUrl(backgroundImageUrl: String): Void {
var imageHolder = this.createEmptyMovieClip('imageHolder', Helper.getNewDepth());
var movieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
movieClipLoader.addListener({onLoadInit: Delegate.create(this, function() {
var tileWidth = imageHolder._width;
var tileHeight = imageHolder._height;
if (tileWidth == 0 || tileHeight ==0) { return; } // Something went wrong [Jon Aquino 2007-06-07]
for (var x = 0; x < Stage.width; x += tileWidth) {
for (var y = 0; y < Stage.height; y += tileHeight) {
if (x == 0 && y == 0) { continue; }
var tile = this.createEmptyMovieClip('tile_' + x + '_' + y, Helper.getNewDepth());
tile._x = x;
tile._y = y;
var bitmapData = new BitmapData(tileWidth, tileHeight, true, 0);
tile.attachBitmap(bitmapData, Helper.getNewDepth());
bitmapData.draw(imageHolder);
}
}
})});
movieClipLoader.loadClip(Config.getInstance().getBackgroundImageUrl(), imageHolder);
}

If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well

has no need of light

And will remind you

Time of prayer

In the silence she understood who jesus is

I thirst

Eyes of your spirit
