something on secular meditiation



I like to drive. Two summers ago I drove from Chicago to Tulsa OK.  It took me almost 12 hours.  I loved it.  It was good.  I only spoke on the phone for about 10 min. during this whole time.  Plus, I did not turn on the radio. It was a quiet time. I was able to meditate and enter more deeply into myself.  The 12 hours were not that long. It was a journey to and from Tulsa; but, also it was a journey to and from Mikey that Michael took.  Meditation helps us to learn much about ourselves.

Bishop Schneider is becoming a champion among more traditional and conservative Catholics.   He is trying to help them to find still home in the Catholic Church.   Definitively, it is a very unusual situation for them.   It is for the first time in a long time that we are experiencing the Pope who is more liberal and progressive. But like the progressives for a long time needed to find space in the Catholic Church; now, it is time for the traditionalist to be able to do that, too.   There is a space for everyone in the place that is called the Catholic Church.
