Ripples in the Water: Joe's Reflections & Updates

Ripples in the Water: Reflections and Updates

I love to write (please remember, love for something speaks nothing of a guy's proficiency in that thing) and so I started this page just to share a series of reflections on youth ministry, faith, culture, the occasional iced cappuccino, and well, all things within the sacramental imagination.

"In the experience of great love, all things that happen are events related to it."

In the presence of the greatest of loves, all things are encompassed within, drawn together, and find their place within this divine romance know as Catholicism. What was always there, always present in the events of our lives, reveals itself to be a person, a presence. In the wake of such a love, all things, like constellations under the horizon of the night sky, suddenly dance brightly against the darkness...Christ enters in and life finally begins.
