An Introduction

To those who know their Latin the title of this blog may seem redundant. To those who know their current events the title of this blog may seem oxymoronic. The university system has as its mission truth and in as much as the university system and those in it are true to their mission they approach the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has as her mission bringing the Way, the Life, and the Truth to the world and in as much as the Catholic Church and those in her are true to their mission the Catholic Church approaches all people and in a special way those involved in the university system. It is at the boatyard Christ met the tired, it is at the table Christ met the hungry, it is at the synagogue Christ met the questioning. To each of the three groups he gave Himself. As it were there may be no higher concentration of tired, hungry, questioning people than in the university. The Church has unceasingly offered up prayer for both student and teacher and has loved fervently both. It seems however that every day the devil gains more ground in a fight in which Christ is already victorious.
May people who come to ask questions find answers. May those who wish to take the world by storm, give their hearts to Christ.
The goal of this blog is not so much to teach theology, but to teach the power of the invitation. Let the Catholic Chapels of the world rise from the Catacombs to the Cathedrals, as it rises from the place one takes ones parents to the place one takes ones friends. I plan to make known resources for both parishes and parishioners as I explore and and offer experiences of Catholic programs around the country. The one searching for Christ should not be given the extra burden of searching to find the Church Oratory. As the Father stood waiting for the prodigal son so should the Church stand, pointing the way and welcoming newcomers with an embrace.
The question - which group gets the most from the university experience? - can only be answered one way - those who are received into or return home to the Church - for they have found what they were seeking:the fullness of Truth.
