Looking Ahead

I began to blog just to chronicle the journey I am making. It has become a significant part of my own devotional life. As a part of that journey, and in keeping with Peter Maurin's (co-founder of the Catholic Worker) recognition of the need for ongoing clarification of thought, I would like to invite you to join me for my daily consideration of the Means and Aims of the Catholic Worker.

Neither Caholic nor Protestant, I will reflect, throughout September, on this Eucharistic Prayer:

"The aim of the Catholic Worker movement is to live in accordance with the justice and charity of Jesus Christ. Our sources are the Greek and Hebrew scriptures, as handed down in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, with our inspiration coming from the lives of the saints, Men and women outstanding in holiness, living witnesses to your unchanging love."

This aim requires us to begin living in a different way, as we recall the words of Jesus, the founders of the Catholic Worker Movement, and the saints of all the ages in the journey called life. Join me through the month of September as I reflect on the Aims and Means, the words of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, and As I remember those who have taught me God's message, how they lived and died, that I might copy their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:7-8). Perhaps in my reflections you will find soup for the soul. I look forward to the discussion that might arise. It all begins tomorrow.
