Elizabeth Scalia on Our Response to These Challenging Times

"The world is hyperventilating like I've never seen it before. Particularly for anyone who watches broadcast news (I do''t) or participates in social media platforms (sadly, I do), the world has been coming at us like one of those egregious music videos where images and scenes are fast-cut and flashing by so quickly you can barely make them out. Rather than a coherent narrative, what one takes away from it is an overall sense of things -- a feeling, a vibe. It is empty, slightly disorienting and probably more subliminally persuasive than we want to admit."

In a recent commentary, writer Elizabeth Scalia reflected on the
confusion, anger, hatred and distrust being experienced in our times on on the call of Jesus on on our need to "step back, slow down the breath, whisper up a prayer to the One who is All-Wisdom, and refuse to just jump, jump, jump to the cacophony of confusion."
