[apenitentialprayer]

But thanks be to God that, although you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient from the heart to the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted. Freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.

the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Romans (6:17-18)

To see the good truly is to desire it insatiably; not to desire it is not to have known it, and so never to have been free to choose it.

David Bentley Hart (God, Creation, and Evil: The Moral Meaning of creatio ex nihilho)

Disobedience is not a choice, but the incapacity of the man who is no longer or not yet able to choose in real freedom.

Karl Barth (Church Dogmatics II: The Doctrine of God, Volume 2, page 779), trans. G.W. Bromiley et. al

[T]o be truly free is to be free from the blinders that prevent us from doing the morally good action. To put it another way: to fail in doing the morally good action is to presuppose some kind of bondage.

Matthew Distefano (The Wisdom of Hobbits: Unearthing Our Humanity at 3 Bagshot Row, page 120)

[kaizenin21stcentury]

Florilegia is a practice of reading and pondering, of conversing with literature by pulling out the phrases that “sparkle,” removing them from their original context into a new one. Fresh meaning may be discovered in this aggregation of sparklets, their conversation with each other. In new context they may generate new ideas, create questions or beauties or conundrums.

You can do this with a single book, or a year’s worth of reading, or a lifetime’s. You can do it with the same book over and over, gleaning different sparklets each visit.

Alice Borogrove

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and

Alice Through the Looking Glass

By Lewis Carrol

On the surface, Alice may seem curt and flat. But she’s on a journey, and her whimsical field notes paint her in a different light. Alice claims to have a connection to another world, devoid of logic and order, that grown ups can’t see. Is she extraordinary? Or is she just mad?

When C.S. Lewis said,

We must surely believe that the divine charity is as fertile in resource as it is measureless is condescension.

And Sylvia Dunstan sang,

You, who preach a way that's narrow, have a Love that reaches wide

And Gregory Pine says,

God is going to make Himself known, and He is going to make Himself lovable, to all persons of all times.

Which are all modern elaborations of the conviction of Saint Paul, that

God our Savior … wills everyone to be saved and come to knowledge of the truth.

Though surely to be balanced by Ambrosiaster, who said

That God wishes all men to be saved means that He wishes that all who freely and willingly desire it shall find salvation
