| Introduction | The title of the blog comes from a phrase in a T. S. Eliot poem. He writes of grace: "the unattended moment, the moment in and out of time...the wild thyme unseen or the winter lightning...the gift half understood is Incarnation." The grace that we do not always attend to remains nevertheless. The joy is to be startled awake by the winter lightning and become aware of Grace. I am a husband, a father, a grandfather, a deacon for the Archdiocese of Chicago, a director of a retreat house and a lawyer. It is my hope that everything I offer in this blog and everything that I say is consistent with the views of the Catholic Church. If I ever fail in that regard, it is not because of any willfulness on my part. It is because I do not understand or I have not submitted to sufficient prayer or study. |
