More From Frederick William Robertson

God, who is everywhere, never leaves us. yet he seems sometimes to be present, sometimes to be absent. if we do not know him well, we do not realize that he may be more present to us when he is absent than when he is present.
Wisdom May Sometimes
A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Doctor mackenzie says "sometimes i think the victorians had the right idea. when you lost a family member back then you were suppose to be in full mourning, dress in nothing but black, for a whole year. then you went into something they called 'half mourning' for another full year, adn during those two years, you were pretty much expected to have emotional breakdowns, you could do it whenever you felt you needed to, and everybody would support you. now?, a month after a tragedy, maybe two, and you're expected to be all better-or down pills so you can pretend you are.

We may define "faith" as the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith." we do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. we only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence. the substitution of emotion for evidence is apt to lead to strife, since different groups, substitute different emotions.

Between two fantasy alternatives, that holbein the younger had lived long enough to have painted shakespeare or that a prototype of the camera had been invented early enough to have photographed him, most bardolators would choose the photograph. this is not just because it would presumably show what shakespeare really looked like, for even if the photograph were faded, barely legible, a brownish shadow, we would probably still prefer it to another glorious holbein. having a photograph of shakespeare would be like having a nail from the true cross.

There are two ways of avoiding fear: one is by persuading ourselves that we are immune from disaster, and the other is by the practice of sheer courage. the latter is difficult, and to everybody becomes impossible at a certain point. the former has therefore always been more popular. primitive magic has the purpose of securing safety, either by injuring enemies, or by protecting oneself by talismans, spells, or incantations.
