Following "The Heart of Things" by Bill Donaghy

You may remember Bill Donaghy's Pyramid of Intimacy that I posted last year and now he is blogging every day during Lent. He is now part of the Theology of the Body Institute and teaching classes.  He has some great posts, so I have linked his blog under my blog list. Enjoy! The link below takes you to a new "theography"  showing from Eve's no to Mary's Yes.

Men's Holy Hour to Battle Pornography

Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Northglenn is holding a Lenten holy hour at 8 am, each Saturday during Lent.  I had the chance to go last Saturday and found it a very powerful and moving experience. Given the time of morning and on a Saturday,  the amount of men there was astounding. The hour was combined with adoration and mixed with acoustic guitar and praise singing.

The priest offered some words about pornography, calling it "the single biggest problem facing our society" and as an addictive drug compared to the likes of heroin. I have dealt with my own lust and desires towards pornography in the past and still feel the whispers of the evil one with constant temptations.    

Praise to all men to come speak out against Pornography and a challenge to bring your teenage sons! I 'm still working on my two. A promise of  breakfast after might do it.

New U2 song, "Invisible"

This new U2 song has Theology of the Body written all over it.  Check it out and pay attention to the lyrics below.





"Invisible"

It’s like the room just cleared of smoke
I didn’t even want the heart you broke
It’s yours to keep
You just might need one

I finally found my real name
I won’t be me when you see me again
No, I won’t be my father’s son

I’m more than you know
I’m more than you see here
More than you let me be
I’m more than you know
A body in a soul
You don’t see me but you will
I am not invisible

That's right
I’ll be in the invisible world

I don’t dream, not as such
I don’t even think about you that much
Unless I start to think at all

All those frozen days
And your frozen ways
They melt away your face like snow

I’m more than you know
I’m more than you see here
I’m more than you let me be
I’m more than you know
A body in a soul
You don’t see me but you will
I am not invisible
I am here

I am here

There is no them
There is no them
There’s only us
There’s only us
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only us
There’s only us
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only you
And there’s only me
There is no them
