St. John of the Cross
As is my custom, I've managed to get very sick in the first couple weeks of school. This means I have been laying in bed reading a lot because the judgmental shows on TLC don't come on until 8ish, and Salt+Light television (Canada's multi-lingual answer to EWTN) is in Korean until like three o'clock. I just re-re-re-read Story of a Soul for you-know-who's feast day next Saturday, and so I picked up The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross which I had on my bookshelf for a couple of years.
Hold. The. Phone.
This guy.
Ugh, I could KISS HIS FACE.
I won't go into detail because if you wanted theology you could go read Fr. Longnecker. So instead, here is a very beautiful painting of St. John of the Cross
Oh, sorry, did I say beautiful, I meant Pedroful. As in
I'm sorry, I refuse to accept that he looked like a Mexican wrestler.

Images That Challenge
Good morning, beloved.
Today as I was out walking and praying I felt very at one with the Powerful Ancient Rythm that is the Seasons. To everything there is a Season, so the saying goes, and I feel this very powerfully in the morning.
All is still.
All is quiet.
These are images I found on a delightful internet website by a very holy and blessed man of the Fransican tradition who makes icons that challenge the preceptions of those stuck in their ways, unable to see the breeze the Spirit of God is blowing on Her children's sails.
First, we have The LORD of the Dance
Here, meditate on the Cosmic Christ's heart as the DRUM BEAT of the UNIVERSAL DANCE, and the Sacred Bush.
And here is Christ with a messed up goat. Meditate on Christ's Words to the Goats in Matthew 25...depart from me into the garbage dump, until your soul becomes one with my consiousness. (Matthew 25, verse 4 or something, from the New Revised Inclusive Edition)
Behold...the Quezecotal Christ of the Aztec Christian Tradition. In the Aztect Christian Tradition, Christ is seen not as a man at odds with Womyn, nor as a man at all, but rather sees It as a Feathered Serpent, much inline with ancient ideas about the devil before the Enlightenment. Meditiate upon the Quezecotalsoagja,dhjrioaisjdicjhtpoakd Christ's love for Womankind shown here in It's bursting chemical clouds, and snarling fanged teeth.
This Icon is of the Sacred Dance of Creation [I'm not even shitting you right now]in which the Wizard Christ gives up His Horcux to Lord Voldemort in order to ensure the safety of wytches and wyzyrds everywhere. The dance of Creation never ends!!!!!!!!1
And finally, sisters, the Celtic Trinity for those who struggle with the image of God as Father (would Christ have EVER called the Universe's Engery "father" knowing how uninclusive that word really was?!) we have Mother, Daughter and Sacred Wisdom. It matters not that not one of these womyn are celtic. This is the inclusive world!
MAY THE DANCE OF GODS LOVE DANCE IN YOUR HEART AND MAKE YOU ONE WITH THE CREATIVE FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE! AMEN!
p.s. this is the LAST TIME i try to pull a Fr. Longnecker and write a post as a fake liberal. I feel positivley icky.
