Loving the Bride, vol.25

Something old....

The good devout man first makes inner preparation for the actions he has later to perform. His outward actions do not draw him into lust and vice; rather it is he who bends them into the shape of reason and right judgement. Who has a stiffer battle to fight than the man who is striving to conquer himself.

-----Thomas a Kempis, German mystic & author (1380 - 1471)

Something blue....

I recently had a vibrant conversation about women in the field of theology (to which I aspire) with Dr. Virginia Kimball, a Mariologist who teaches at both Merrimack and Assumption Colleges here in Massachusetts. Dr. Kimball's latest article on Mary and the birth narrative of Jesus contains probing questions for theologians to ponder. Read it here, over at catholicweb.com.
